no, really. i won bacon.

This is the email that came into my Inbox a few days ago:

If you’ve ever wanted to know just how much better your life would be if you were pulchritudinous, rich, and a creative genius – it’s your lucky day. Sunshine Megatron, the creator of T-Shirt Hell, has started a twitter account and you can now partake in his latest 140 character rants, follow his daily activities and maybe even join him on his daily stroll down Hollywood Boulevard where he organizes high stakes chicken fights among the homeless.

Plus, there will be plenty of T-Shirt Hell giveaways for twitterers only. And we’re not just giving away free shirts or coupons, Sunshine is going to give away cash, bottles of Cristal, sex and who knows what else. Follow the only real T-Shirt Hell/Sunshine Megatron twitter account at:

http://twitter.com/smegatron

And as motivation, Sunshine will give 20 random twitterers who sign up to follow us 5 free shirts and $100 cash each. We’ll list the winners in a twitter post a week from now. Start following immediately and we guarantee you that zit on your ass will disappear within minutes. Shazam!

That is it, no fancy artwork, no url to website (but here it is now), no 20% off if you order right now. I immediately had to start following this guy. I mean, I care enough about their t-shirt site to subscribe to their email blast, so following this guy on Twitter seemed like the next logical step.

The first tweet of his read: Tell me your favorite luncheon meat for your chance to win 5 lbs of bacon. RT this for a chance to win 10 lbs

…. of course I re-tweeted, asking if tofu was considered a meat. This morning I awoke to find out that I won the contest and 10lbs of bacon!

Seriously…

As a vegetarian who knows the power that bacon has over people, I will be using my winnings to mock all my wine blogging friends who may be reading this.

Just wait…

The funny thing is this is not the first item I have won via Twitter. A few months prior, I won a twitter contest from @NapaMarriott, the Twitter account from Todd at the Napa Valley Marriott Hotel & Spa. I won a Gift Certificate to their spa, the Amadeus Spa & Salon which I haven’t used yet.

Update: I was actually sent an email with a Gift Certificate to Amazon.com saying I could actually purchase anything I wanted from the site… So in true “Shana” fashion, I bought shoes. Though I do have around $20 left on my gift card code, so if anyone has any suggestions on what I should get, maybe something “bacon” related, let me know!

hi my name is shana and i am obessed with waffles.

If you have been paying any attention to my tweets, myspace status or facebook status over the past week, you know that I have had a lingering obsession with waffles. It started last week when all I wanted before work was a waffle from snobunny, so my friend Sean and I go there only to find they just started serving them on the weekends ONLY.

Since then, every time I attempt to get a waffle has ended in failure. Either because of the time of day, or my own personal time constraints. I was craving one so bad that I went out and bought some Safeway brand toaster waffles that satisfied my craving for maple syrup, but not for the fluffy goodness that a restaurant waffle can offer. There is no comparison of the thin, crispy toaster waffles to a fluffy warm one that just came off a waffle maker.

My friend Scott only fed on my obsession by going to get a waffle of his own, fully knowing (I assume) that I wasn’t able to get one of my own.

Why am I talking about this? Well, I am still obsessed and for some reason, beyond my control… I still want one. Bad. So like I do when I cannot stop thinking about someone or something, I write about it.

My new found obsession even made me remember that my love for waffles isn’t a new thing.  Years ago on a family road trip to Seattle, I remember fighting with my dad because all I wanted to eat the ENTIRE trip was waffles with strawberries and whipped cream, it was my beginning stages of becoming a vegetarian (yes, at age 11) and I refused to eat eggs or BACON (yes, I have denied bacon since I was 11) and I loved waffles so much, I wanted them for every meal. I am not sure if I got my way or not, but I do know every breakfast and most dinners were mostly waffles.

If anyone wants to meet me for lunch or breakfast this week to eat waffles, then let me know. Or if you have an amazing waffle recipe, post it here…. Oh. Also, let me know if you think I have a problem…. I may need help.
