The SHY GAME
Wednesday, August 13, 2008 at 12:34AM Tomorrow is Lilly’s first day of kindergarten and, as you might imagine, she’s a little nervous. In dealing with prior situations like this in the past, MRS encouraged her to play the Shy Game. The Shy Game consists of Lilly approaching just one child and introducing herself. And one successful Shy Game introduction always results in a cool reward. So as we went to the Kindergarten intro day today and met the teacher and got the lay of the land, MRS prepped Lilly to play the Shy Game tomorrow when she starts big-girl school for real.
Since I’m so bad at following up when I’m tagged for stuff and I can certainly stand to meet more bloggers—I came up with this.
No strict rules—I dislike rules. But I’m doing mine this way, and I encourage as many people that want to play to either do the same or do something they like better.
I’m picking 5 random (I’m literally going to close my eyes and pick from my reader) bloggers I know well, tagging them, and then I’m going to their blogroll to find 5 bloggers I don’t know well. Then they all get tagged with this post. Anyone reading this is free to dive right in and do the same.
I also encourage you all to pick out bloggers from the SHY GAME page that you don’t know and go check them out.
Here we go:
THE 5 I KNOW WELL:
(Looks like I picked 4 dudes and only 1 lady….I better pick extra chicas next. Aimee…I know you can hand with the fellas up there. Don’t let them push you around.)
THE 5 I DON’T KNOW WELL:
Chicken and Cheese (from greeblemonkey, the chick that made me look like Clark Kent) Funny how chicken and cheese caught my eye. I didn’t have any dinner tonight.
Letters From The Third Grade (from View From That Really Cold City Up North—sorry Jeff, it’s not cold there yet, right?) First one that caught my eye from Jeff’s roll—maybe because 3rd grade was the last year I got straight A’s.
Sugar Mommy (from JayMonster and his slick wedding pic—check out my mans tight quaff at Triple Venti—sure, I’m bald and jealous, so what) Chose this one because we all need a Sugar Mommy.
Rachel’s Tavern (from AAD, a man I share a weird bond with) I picked this blog because, well, I like Taverns—we all know this.
Backpacking Dad (from Honea Express’s mybloglog —Whit’s in my same boat as he sent Atticus off to Kindergarten) I like backpacks and I’m a dad, so I thought this was a good fit.

Cool. This looks fun and I sure could use some blog fodder.
Atticus has a tough time with meeting new people. He's not shy, he's just so independent that he doesn't bother. I'm making him meet a new kid each day also. Great minds and all that.
That is a great game for kids and will have to remember that when my little Mini-Kamp is on her way to school.
Where did the Shy Game form go? I'm playing along.
I'm hoping this isn't like the crying game and I ultimately find out Mitch isn't really a woman.
Clicked through from Whit. I read his post and thought Wait... Mitch hasn't posted in ages and then I clicked through and found out that your feed url had changed.
Dude, don't go messing with your feed address, it screws people up. Maybe consider Feedburner?
Cool! I'm in!
Will attempt to write more about backpacks.
:}
This is a really cool idea. I wish I had thought of it so that I could say that you stole it from me and then start a blog war with you. Because nothing bonds strangers like a big ol' blog war right off the bat.
That is a really great idea!
And YOU SAID you wanted a newman's hat!
Dude. I ignore you for a few weeks...and you totally get a bloggy makeover.
Nicely done.
And you found BackpackingDad. Dude has shifty eyes. Just sayin'. Heh.
