A Personal Ad for Awesome.
comments • Tagged Creativity, Getting There, Ideas, Links • posted in blog • PermalinkThe first post I read of Havi’s The Fluent Self involved a personal ad for a house – which did actually lead to the house of her dreams. She also posted a personal ad from a copywriter looking for collaborators – which succeeded beyond expectations .
I meant to write such an ad, but never got round to it. (I also lost out on being a copywriter! damn laziness.) But Havi wants us to give it a go , so here’s my go!
Are you awesome? I want you.Creative, cosmopolitan, energetic, silly, random, earnest young woman with a love for shimmy sparklies and a desire to make people happy, looking for all forms of awesome.
You are highly creative, open to experimentation, and have a silly, witty, clever sense of humour. You do not take things too seriously nor too lightly. You are affectionate, loving, and always great with cuddles. You look at opportunities and go “Why not?” instead of “Why?”. You’re accepting, diverse, magical, and can make me feel excited, inspired, and engaged. Ooh!
I am a complete ham who loves prancing about and trying new things. I get distracted by the shiny but can also spend ages on something meaty. I work for the greater good but am working on not sacrificing myself so much. I’m a hugmonster and cuddleslut. I like to explore new worlds, live with the locals, and spend hours on filling dinners chatting about ideas for a new world. I have a book obsession and can often be found in my second home on the Internet.
We will balance on top of each other and practice handstands till I can hold a pose for longer than a second. We will dress up in black and red and sequins and struff our stuff at burlesque balls. We will commune with artists and break the bread of inspiration. We will launch other people’s feathered dreams. We will collectively build an island of Awesome, surrounded by seas of nourishments and relaxing beaches where we consecrate our magic tools for the Goddess.
Anyone or anything – people, experiences, jobs, media, spirit – welcome to apply. Totally looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Maybe I should make a page called the Hall of Awesome, where I can link and profile my Awesome Crew and showcase examples of Awesome. How about Tiara’s NING Network of Awesome? Would you join?

LOVE! IT!
Also, I think that ad for a house was the first post of Havi’s I read, too. Riot!

Great ad!
Might I ask what you are looking for? A reader, a writer, a friend?
