Can we say AWESOME? Of course we can!
I received my first blog award! The super-sweet
Nyxen Nadine from
Nyxen's Sidewalk Journey Through Life gave me
The Versatile Blogger Award! Thank you so much Nyxen! I literally *squeed* aloud when I saw my name on her post, and I'm pretty sure Fatty thought I was a mouse for a second. But anyhoo, now it is my turn to continue the versatile blogger tradition!
Here are the rules:
1.Thank and link
back to the person who gave you this award. ^above^
2.Share 7 things
about yourself.
3.Pass the award along to 15 bloggers who you
have recently discovered and who you think are fantastic for whatever
reason! (In no particular order...)
4.Contact the bloggers you've
picked and let them know about the award.
Seven Things to Share:
 |
| ^not Fatty, but close^ |
1. In the third grade for a creative writing assignment, I practically plagiarized a kiddy short story about a cat who foils a burglary.
Though the idea and the events weren't my own, I had so much fun making up new details for the story that I fell in love with writing. (Note: that was my first and last attempt at plagery, just in case you were wondering
^o^) I remember thinking that I loved the story so much, I wanted it to be mine! I also had a big thing for
cats and cat books.
2. In addition to fiction, I occasionally write
poetry. I also write
lyrics, but because I am not musical, the song part usually gets left in my head.
3. If I had been a character in a
YA novel when I was a
teenager, I would have been the
quirky-jock-overachiever.

4. I do not think of great names for
cats. My first cat ever was named
Purry (because Meowi sounded too much like Maui for my liking), then there was
Sable (because of her color),
Gabriel (because my sister named her cat Angel and both were solid white),
Bobby (because I thought it was a cute name for such a friendly cat),
Lynxi (because she had the little tufts of hair on her ears), and
Fatty (who was not originally named this because I thought he was a
girl, so he was called
Baiby Fuzzy-Face Grey until I figured him out). Fatty, however, has the most names/titles/aliases of any of my cats, because he's
special like that.
^_^
5. I help teach my church's
7th grade girls Sunday School class. They think I'm
weird (which I am) but I have fun getting to know them and they have fun laughing at my
goofy-ness.

6. I currently have
eight piercings. My first two were my ears at age
10, the next two just above them when I was
18, the third set just above the second pair when I was
19, then two in the cartilage of my left ear this past December, just before I turned
24. I had my
belly-button pierced when I was 18, but that didn't last long. I've only had to have one piercing
redone. If I could get whatever piercings I wanted, I would probably have my
eyebrow and/or lip pierced. I would
never get my tongue pierced.

7. While in college, I majored in
English Literature and
Creative Writing and minored in
Cinema Studies and
Secondary Education. I dropped out just after the beginning of my junior year, and I have no plans to go back. My life didn't turn out how I had
planned or
imagined, but if it had, I wouldn't be sharing all this fun stuff with
you!
I will announce my fifteen choice bloggers
in the next post!
