FBW: Interview with Andy from Crazy with a Side of Awesomesauce (Ms. July)

FBW stands for Featured Blogger of the Week. Each week we will feature one of our calendar ladies or gentleman. Mondays will be a post written by the FBW and Wednesdays will be an interview of the FBW. If you want to know how you can be a part of the Blogger Body Calendar project, please click here.

Why did you decide to join the Blogger Body Calendar project?

Oh goodness, I’ve wanted to be apart of this since it began. I can’t express how excited I am to be here! It’s a great cause that is very close to my heart. Most people think bloggers are narcissistic, but here we are (!) doing good work, raising money and awareness.

What would other people say about your blog? (oh no. i’ve already gotten bored of your opinion. well, you can answer a different question if you want.)

I’ve heard it called eclectic and brazen, refreshingly honest, but boys tread with caution. Yeah that’s about right.

Describe your calendar photo in 140 characters or less.

Reading is sexy. All I’m sayin’.

Do you consider yourself successful at blogging? Why or why not?

Oh what is success? If success is blogging daily for years with, for the most part, loyal readership and a nurturing community, then yes, I’m successful at blogging. If success is ad dollars and blogging conferences and book deals, no effing way. But am I happy to be a blogger and love this space I’ve created? Hell yes. I get to be a writer every day. It’s freaking awesome.

There are a lot of trends in the blogosphere right now, do you think that ninjas, unicorns, and zombies will soon be replaced by tai chi, Big Foot, and people who crave chicken (instead of brains)?

Part of me doesn’t give an ass on a rat. The other part thinks we can’t predict what craziness is coming. Maybe it will be Frankenstein Monsters and Koala babies. As long as sparkly vampires go away, I’ll be a happy clam.
