If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense.
Nothing would be what it is because everything would be what it isn’t.
And contrary-wise; what it is it wouldn’t be, and what it wouldn’t be, it would.
You see?

Hello! I’ve been visiting your blog since your Flirtation Failure post. That was so relatable and funny and it was one of the stuff I lived by. It’s been a while since I’ve visited and now that I have, I am so happy to read posts from a happily married and consistently funny woman! There is hope for the rest of us, I suppose? Haha. I wish you more happiness!
Thank you so much!!! You’re so sweet!
Hi! ive been reading through your blog and i think its really great! I have recently made my own page and i really want to start blogging. do you have any advice or tips? thank you xx
Thanks! My advice is just to keep writing, even when it’s hard and you think no one is reading, just keep writing.
I was drawn in by the quote and stayed for the posts. Love your writing!
Thank you very much! I appreciate that!

Hi I’ve nominated you for the Versatile Blogger award, feel free to check it out on my blog, have fun!
Thanks so much!!!
You sound just like Alice ….. put your creative thoughts to actually write books .. maybe for children ???
Working on it….
i wonder if your contrary wise is in any way related to a wonderful summer on the cape when a beautiful girl taught me about opposite land!
Mine is all Lewis Carroll’s doing.
When I was at primary school we used to play this game where we spoke backwards language. You had to say the opposite of what you meant. It was the best fun. Thank you for reminding me of childhood. I think I’ll play that game again soon.
That game sounds amazing!
A great blog, that is the same thing that inspires me to write….
Do visit my blog I would love to hear from you.
Thanks! Lewis Carroll’s writing mean a lot to me!
Sure they may….
But still your writing reflects a different style…
like a bit more spicy….
A lot better than him….
Congratulations, you have been nominated for the Versatile Blogger Award!! What does this mean for you? Well it means a little work sorry!!

Hi GotC, I wanted to let you know I’ve passed on the Liebster Award to you. Check out my blog for the rules if you want to pass the award on. Every post makes me laugh and brightens my day. Much needed now that Ohio is covered in snow lol!
Thank you so much! I’m so glad my blog makes you smile!
I know you already have a lot of awards so sorry if you’re already received this one, but I nominated you for the One Lovely Blog Award, as I love your site and it keeps me entertained when life is slow…
You can see the relevant details here: http://indiaphare.wordpress.com/2012/01/20/one-lovely-blog-award/
Thanks for sharing your great stories with us all
Thanks you so much! You’re too sweet!
I nominated you for the Versatile Blogger Award in my post yesterday (http://bigpictureviewoftisha.com/2012/01/11/versatile-blogger-award/) because I love your contrariness!!
Thank you! You’re so sweet!
I’ve nominated your blog for the Kreativ Blogger Award. While it doesn’t involve a trophy or a giant novelty cheque (I know, it sucks), you do get a funky little image to display on your blog to let readers know how awesome you are. There are a few conditions associated with receiving the award, so have a look here to make sense of it all.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! It’s better than any novelty check- you can’t even cash those.
I saw this post and I thought of you. In case you are on the road …

Best Wishes & Happy Holidays
Thank you so much! I wish I had a speech prepared…..
GotC, wasn’t sure where to put this, so hope this is okay.
I have picked you to receive The Versatile Blogger award. I received it recently and was thrilled to be able to pass it on to five worthy recipients, of which you are one. I believe you are eminently qualified to receive this award. Your writing is fun, cheerful, light-hearted and well written. You make me laugh out loud and it is healing laughter. Your irreverent approach to some issues are refreshing, and I enjoy your frank opinions on some of the goings-on of our day.
If you would like more information and the rules surrounding this award, please go to my site here.
Thank you so much!!! You made my day!

Aww, thanks!
So very very FUNNY!! I ‘pressed’ this to my blog, hopefully properly citing you all due credit/copyrights etc! Please do check, if I did anything incorrectly, I will delete the link posthaste- I am incredibly cognizant of plagiarism, (cannot abide it at all!) copyright issues, etc. Finally, I wanted to simply msg you this, as it’s not really a standard ‘comment’ per se, however, I loved this blog post so much I wanted to share!!!
Thanks! It is much appreciated!

I think it’s nice that someone else has goldfish as her blog header.
I do love goldfish.
Love the title of your blog! Must say I am biased though
Thanks! I like yours too.
I love Alice. =)
Me too!!
I love Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, and this is why I must now follow you. BUT do not get offended if I stop following you in the future. Lol
Dont’ worry, I try not to pay too close of attention to who unfollows me.
Hey, i was gonna say that! I’m going to follow you too, but don’t feel obligated to follow me back. I’m okay with my stalker-ish tendencies. If I stop following, it’s not because I don’t like you anymore, it’s just that I found another shiny penny.
Love the goldfish!!
Thanks! And thanks for following me!
Just had to say it; I love the fish. That banner is brilliant!
Thanks! I kind of fell in love with it….
I like your blog. Really interesting insights. :>
Cheers! Thanks for stopping by!
Haha So glad I found this blog! Gives me inspiration for mine!
Glad you enjoy it!
Ah, my escritorial sister from another mister….reading you keep me from dwelling in my head and lets the Princess come out and play more often…keep writing. (Don’t worry–it’s inspirational energies only…I yam not a krook….)
Thanks! I needed this today! Xx
I feel like we have been separated at birth. Love your blog. I too am socially awkward around cute men and love Alice. I think we should start a club, it would be da bomb.
Indeed, it would be da bomb.

Stumbled upon the blog by accident and can I say that the accident was more than awesome? Yeah..I can, I guess. Love your insanity and your wonderful sense of humour! You.are.amazing!
Thanks! I’m so glad there are people who find my particular brand of insanity entertaining!!!
This blog might be way too popular for me to follow. ;O)
Thanks! But, I promise you, it’s not.
Can i just say i’m falling deeply for your blog?
I can? Then yeah you’re awesome =)
Aww, shucks. You’re making me blush.

I see you’ve missed my comment.
I’m so sorry! It was unintentional. I do appreciate your comments though!
Just wanted to say that I admire how you respond to every single comment! It’s lovely. Your writing is quite captivating, as well!
Thank you so much! I love my commenters!

Using 10%, wow, that’s …. amazing.

Sounds exactly like something Dr Seuss would write. Now that, is clever stuff.
Thanks! I can’t take credit for it though- it’s Lewis Carroll.
Ahh… I thought I’d read something similar in ‘Alice and wonderland’ I think. But even if they aren’t your words, it fits in exactly with your humour and style
Thanks! That is quite the compliment.
You have a new fan and subscriber. I love your sense of humor!
Thanks a million!!! It is very much appreciated!
Love it!
Hey CG, I nominated you for most “Stylish Blogger”. See my latest post for your 15 seconds of fame! This isn’t the Nobel Prize, but darn close.

Thank you so much!!!! You made my day!
Hey, nice blog!!!
Alice is Wonderland is AWESOME, I’m glad someone else actually likes it beyond the movie.
Stay (sic) xD
P.S. – your ranting is epic
P.P.S – your mother. (I’m sorry, I had to put that in.)
I’m so glad you like it!
I have this very quote, along with a drawing of The Mad Hatter, pinned up above my writing desk. I’ve enjoyed reading your blog!
Thank you! I’m so glad!
haha, that’s great, truly ingenious, and I do believe that I agree with that 110%! Because I already follow that theory of nonsense for my own life… the only exception being is that I do have a world of my own, there’s no “if” about it… *cough*… what can I say?, I’m a daydreamer, and my imagination is more vivid than most people can claim about theirs.
You remind me of me. But funnier. Damn.
Thanks! I’m sure you are quite funny yourself.
I love your blog – it’s so original and funny – I’m officially hooked! Keep it up, can’t wait to read more of your contrariness…
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!
Impressive …again …
I just wanted to leave a note to say thanks for blogging! I love your writing and hope to see plenty more of it!
Thank you so much! I will definitely be writing more- I can’t seem to turn this contrary brain off!

Ah, I get it. Your world will only exist as long as your world does not exist. Because if your world exists it would no longer be different from that which exists, and will thus cease to exists.
I love it when people get it! Thanks!
Funny, and very Alice. Enjoyed your latest and guess I’ll be back for more
Thought you might like to see another blog on the same lines as yours.

Totally mental. There is no saving me now.

Thank you so much!
In many ways I’m a contrarian. So, that would lead me to believe that you and I have much in common. But that can’t be, right? Because you’re contrary, including to me, and so am I, and therefore … what ARE we? Oh, hell, i give up.
