Now, I'm a humble person. Really, stop laughing, I am. I promise. I would never come to such a conclusion on my own. But something I received in the mail yesterday--an incredibly delightful something--has confirmed my hunch, and I have proof that I am, in fact, The Duchess of Awesome.
Behold:
The Evidence
The EvidenceSee there, in the corner? Yes! ROYAL MAIL. For who else but royal people! In fact, because I have now reached Duchess status, the sender didn't even have to include my last name or address. The Truly Awesome Kiersten, USA was all that was necessary. One of the perks of royalty, I suppose.
The other perks? Chocolate. British chocolate. Enough British chocolate for me to share with my whole family. Which, since I am now The Duchess of Awesome, I actually did. I know! I'm even more generous as royalty than I was before!
Isn't it pretty? Pretty, pretty chocolate.Now if you'll excuse me, my corsets need lacing. I've got to start dressing as befits someone of my rank. Plus, the corset looks rocking with my sweat pants.
Also, thank you Whirl, for sending the chocolate and alerting me to my new status. You made an otherwise dreary day--what else--Awesome.

Hurrah!
The sad thing about posting overseas is that, although you get the sticker saying Royal Mail, you don't get the lovely picture stamps with the gold crest of the Queen's head (illustrative, not decapitated) like you used to. Right now, we have a collection of stamps base on Charles Darwin, and before that it was waterfowl and obscure cricket bat manufacturers.

In the mean time — glad it all arrived. I'd heard from CNN news that the Montreal Chocolate Fiend had evaded capture and moved south of the border. Phew.
I've got to say, Kierst . . . I mean, your Highness, I'm quite impressed. In fact, the clincher for me were the Freddo the Frog chocolate bars. Awesome
Nice going, Whirl!
I always had a feeling you were royalty. Glad I know for sure now.
Yes, definitely Awesome. :)
Yummy, British Chocolate. My mouth is watering. Whirl, did you send Fry's Chocolate Cream? How about a Flake? Now, my mouth is watering - I only get those yummy treats when my mom goes overseas to visit her family.
Enjoy your treat, your royal highness, Duchess of Awesome, Lady Kiersten :)

Okay, that's it. What do I have to do to get people to send me chocolate????
*heads upstairs to get whalebone corset and Yoga pants*
That's the most awesome wardrobe I've ever heard of. And yes, I really do own a corset. Sad, yes, I know. Oh, and Yoga pants, too. :)
Glam, you have to win contests on Whirl's site.
And Whirl, the Montreal Chocolate Fiend did, in fact, show up and was promptly disarmed. Sadly, I mean that in the most literal way possible.
NO ONE gets between me and my chocolate.
: )
I may have to pay more attention to these contests out there, if winning chocolate is a possibility and discovering royal status.
Careful with that British chocolate, Kiersten. Ever since I sampled the sweet delicacies that are British chocolates two summers ago, I've suffered horrible withdrawals. Why do the British people get fun chocolate, and we get Hershey's? Don't get me wrong; Hershey's is good food. But British chocolate is just -- BRITISH chocolate. *sigh* A catch-22, I suppose.
OMGosh! don't remind me! This is what I'm going to miss most when I move away from the UK.. I know, I know... it'll be a good thing--but is it really? should the US really be so chocolate deprived? Jenni
Whoa, royalty AND a cult leader? You are all powerful!
I actually got a corset once - they're great post-baby sexy wear because they hide your juggly tummy and squeeze your cleavage back up where it's supposed to be! As the nice girl in the shop laced it up for me she informed me that corsets were an awesome choice because "you can also pair it with some nice slacks and wear it as a top!" Awesome!
Oh, yeah, Sin City...I remember when you wore your corset top to church with that pretty floral skirt. It was a great ensemble!
When I started reading your post I thought you were Awesome because you had heard good news from you agent. But I guess chocolate is second best. Just how would you announce to your blogglin that you are done waiting and have a book deal?
I'm thinking fireworks. And a marching band. With full choir singing the Hallelujah chorus. Maybe I'll even post video of my celebratory dancing. You'll know when you see it. And I have no announcements at this time. Alas.
ah, European chocolate!! Need I say more? BTW. I wrote a totally awesome comment on your last post, but alas Blogger hates Wordpress!! And some awesomeness just can't be reproduced. :( In other words, I was too lazy to retype the whole thing. Enjoy your "Royal Treat."
Nooooo! Candice, I'm devastated about the lost comment. Any comment on a post about fallopian tubes is a TRAVESTY to lose.
Sadly, Blogger ate my fallopian tube comment. Hey — it was positive.
Meanwhile, your comment about celebratory dancing has been noted. Scribbled on the side of an elephant, in actual fact. Just so I don't forget...
Freddo's are 15p now! Travesty! Freddo is the perfect chocolate for small children - relatively inexpensive and not so enormous as to give your child a massive sugar high. What I'm desperate to know is what is the divine stuff underneath with the Fairtrade sticker??? I'm no fool - that's the Mummy chocolate - the good stuff.
Congratulations on your Duchessdom. You are very deserving of your royalty.
I shall look forward with bated breath to any good news on the publishing front now that you have assured us to the presence of a marching band. I am also assuming that the Hallelujah Chorus will be sung by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. I am very familiar with this as it was my mother's favourite piece of music and was played a lot and at high volume in my house back in the day when people had record players. It's very stirring.
How fun ... and YUM!!!
cadbury is SO MUCH better than hershey's. i refuse to eat the latter. coolest thing is, they sell them in the underground tube stations! =D
