Candace Knoebel was kind enough to nominate me for the Versatile Blogger award! Thanks so much! I like winning things. And I like blogging! So this is, quite literally, a win-win.
But before I get into the nitty and gritty of the award, I just wanted to shout out a THANK YOU to all my followers – I hit 100 today! Woo! That’s 100 people more than I knew three months ago when I first started blogging. You guys are awesome, and I’ve loved my time here on WordPress thus far, so thanks again for reading, following, and supporting 🙂
On to the Versatile Blogger award!
Step One: Share 7 things about yourself
Okee dokee. Here goes!
1) My head is super sensitive. By that I mean that if I put my hair up in a ponytail (even a low one), it starts to give me a headache within minutes. The only solutions I’ve found thus far are leaving it down, clipping it high up, or doing a french braid.
2) I keep a book of Sudoku puzzles in the bathroom. I bought it in South Korea, and I have stopped doing the puzzles because I don’t want to have to throw out the book. Sentimental value and whatnot.
3) I have recently developed a crush on Alex Pettyfer. My celebrity crushes usually last about three days or so–but man, it’s going to be a brutal three days.
4) My jedi teddy bear guardian has now been joined in his security detail by Tibbers, the five-foot tall bear I bought at Costco.
5) I really enjoy K-Pop, and I wish that English musicians would cover K-Pop artists’ songs, because A) K-Pop songs are awesome, and B) I want to be able to understand the lyrics!
6) Today I found my door unlocked, and became convinced that someone had broken into my apartment while I was in the bathroom. I proceeded to grab two knives from the knife block and stalk around the apartment yelling, “I’ve got two knives, intruder! I suggest you leave before I find you, because it won’t end well for anyone involved!” I never did find the intruder, so clearly my bluff worked.
7) People talking in movie theatres drive me absolutely insane. I usually just get up and move, but sometimes I will turn to my friend and do the passive-aggressive, “Do you think these people sitting behind us will EVER stop talking? It’s so annoying!” and hope the chatterboxes hear. It’s not hard! Just keep your mouth shut! Ack.
That took a turn for the dark. Let’s lighten things back up.
Step two!
I hereby nominate … hmm …
and
Congrats!
Now all y’all gotta do is accept the award, thank the person who gave it to you (me!), share 7 things about yourself, then pass the award along to as many people as you like (the official rules suggest 15).
Happy blogging!
Link of the day!
Erm, this one’s a bit racy, so I’ll provide a link instead of just showing you the image. It’s Game of Thrones related, btw.

Sorry about the long link. Google gibberish.
Ha
Congrats on your milestone awards and three digit followers!
I don’t mean that they have all lost fingers, btw…
I’ve also received an award nomination today – The Lovely Blog Award. I was rather startled, to say the least. However, being a bit of a newbie (only began blogging a year ago!!!), I have no idea how to reciprocate. Where does one go, or how does one (don’t ai sound posh?) ‘nominate’?
Hope you can help.

Did they post a list of rules for you to follow? I Googled “One Lovely Blog” — here’s what I found:
Thank the person who honored you with this award and post their links; Nominate up to 15 other blogs for this honor; Tell readers seven things about yourself.
So basically you include a link back to the person who nominated you, write 7 things about yourself (literally anything you want to share), and then you “pass on” the award to other bloggers. By nominate, they mean put a link in your post to the nominee’s blog, then go to that blog and let the blogger know they’ve been nominated via a comment. You don’t have to nominate 15 people — 3-4 is cool. The idea is just to pass on the good fortune, as well as link your readers to interesting blogs they may not have known about before.
Woo! Man, I talk a lot. Hopefully that helped 🙂
