Validation

June 28, 2011

Just like that, Shawna has made my day.  She is down to earth, intelligent, insightful, and kind.  Someone who has a great blog for aspiring writers (Go check it out. Right now!) and readers alike.  I love reading her posts.  But besides her awesomeness she bestows on me cool awards that make me feel like I really am awesome!  Oh my poor fragile writer’s ego.  It’s soaring right now, it is!  I suspect I got this particular award because I have a big mouth, but I’ll take it anyway ;)

The stipulation of the award is that I must reveal 7 random facts about myself and then pass this award on to 5 bloggers of my choice.  Here goes:

Random Factoid #1 – I have never ever ever tasted meat. Stop laughing you perverts! I’m a vegetarian and have been since birth. I accidentally bit into a ham sandwich once but I didn’t taste the ham and spit it out before I could. It was my friend’s fault *shakes first*

Random Factoid #2 – I’ve had my nose pierced at two different times in my life.  Each time I took it out, thinking that I didn’t want it. A part of me wants one again, but really, three times?  My poor nose!

Random Factoid #3 – I am clumsy. Like seriously clumsy.  But I usually fall down because of my own feet/body. And twist my ankle. Everytime. Fucker!

Random Factoid #4 – My hands are double jointed. At every knuckle. So the very frist knuckle after the tip of your finger? I can bend and wave it at you.  My fingers got locked like that once. I over worked that joint I think. I may have been showing off to my elementary school friends.

Random Factoid #5 – I planned my wedding in exactly 8 days.  Everything went off without a hitch and there wasn’t enough time to stress. It was great! I would absolutely do it all over again!

Random Factoid #6 – I have two beautiful children. Both were born at home. On purpose. One is my land baby and the other is my water baby, born on the ground and in my tub respectively. Both experiences were one of the most amazing, special moments in my life.

Random Factoid #7 – My big toe and my lawnmower had a gruesome meeting one day. Despite have a decent hunk of my toe cut off, it grew back. Therefore I am a medical miracle. And invertebrates aren’t the only ones with regeneration powers. Ha. I have pictures to prove it ;)

Now on to sharing this puppy!  The Versatile Blogger award goes to:

E.M. Rowan – my critt partner, a friend for life, my twin, and an amazing writer in own right — she is one in a million. She also has a fabulous blog with tons of great information!  Especially for you YA writers out there!  Go check her out!

Tradermare – all around cool chick and fellow Jeaniene Frost fan. She reviews books and writes fanfic! Go see!

Angela Scott – funny, down to earth, likes zombies. What’s not to like?!  Go check her out, her blog is fantastic!

Leah Plozano – the nicest, kindest, sweetest person you’ll find anywhere!  And she just started her blog, but you can already tell she’s something fantastic. Go support a fellow writer and wonderful human!

Shinda – because the owner of this blog is fantastic and never fails to me awe me with his kindness and humility. He is a gem. His blog? Sometimes controversial, sometimes funny, a lot of times entertaining — I’m always waiting for new content.  A must read!

And one more mention, just cause I have to. Engarde doesn’t have a blog, but she should!  She is that awesome!  She is thoughtful, caring, helpful, intelligent, creative…I once described her as a cross between Mother Theresa and Martha Stewart, but better and that still stands true. Go follow her on twitter!

*As per the rules, you must reveal 7 random facts about yourself and share this award with 5 bloggers of your choice!  Enjoy!

Award Winning Blog

May 6, 2011

I have been secretly coveting blog awards for a while.  I even considered stealing the stupid little graphic that says how awesome my blog is and sticking it on my site, but that’d be tacky.   I may be a lot of things, but I’m not ready to stoop to tacky.  Yet.

Thankfully, Sycamore Meadows has held me back from the dark abyss of moraless living by awarding me the Blog On Fire Award.

Besides being totally awesome on that ‘save my soul’ level, she has a wicked awesome blog about her journey to publication.  If you’re an aspiring writer, you should absolutely be subscribed to her site!  She is funny, witty, honest and way down to earth! Check her out, here. Now! Hurry!

The only requirement of winning this award is to pay it forward.  So I am awarding the Blog On Fire Award to the following blogs,

PickyMe

Kathleen Kole

Allan Douglas

Belinda Frisch

Linday Buroker aka GoblinWriter

Keta Diablo

Sarah Woodbury

Laura Hunsaker

Angela Scott

Hope you like your award guys!
