Awards #3

I love getting awards, and I think it's such a great concept. To stop and blog about some of the million blogs we read every day and appreciate them with a cute little graphic. I have just seen I've won a Beautiful Blogger Award (one I don't think I've won before) from Book Junkie, a wonderful blogger who herself has indeed deserved this award. Make sure you check her blog out!

Now, here's the rules: I am to list 7 things you might not now about me and then pass it onto 15 other bloggers and notify them of it. Here goes.

7 Things You Might Not Have Known About Me

1. I love TV shows and am always following at least one. My heart belongs to Sex and the City and Queer as Folk, but also Desperate Housewives, True Blood, Gilmore Girls, Brothers & Sisters, ALIAS, and many more!
2. I am a bona fide movie buff. My interests are endless, and some of my favorite movies include RENT, Amelie, Atonement, Love and Other Disasters, Dangerous Liaisons and many I can't recall right now.
3. I need coffee. Every day.
4. I am able to surf book blogs 24/7.
5. I hate intolerance, ignorance and judging.
6. If I see new comments on my blog in the morning, it kinda makes my day.
7. My favorite music includes Madonna, Rufus Wainwright, Scissor Sisters, Idina Menzel and Lady Gaga.
8. I sometimes judge blogs by their design. So sue me.
9. I've never participated in a readathon, but I hope to do it this year.
10. I love traveling, and there is a pretty good chance I'll spend my next school year in America. Wanna meet up?

Now's the time to nominate fantastic blogs for this prestigious award (in no particular order). And the award goes to...

1. eclectic/eccentric
2. Queen of Happy Endings
3. The Zen Leaf
4. A Guy's Moleskin Notebook
5. Melissa's World
6. Reading Nook
7. Book Journey
8. Wordsmithonia
9. It's Just Me, Wendy
10. Serendipity
11. Book Bound
12. Michelle's Bookshelf
13. Book Blab
14. Jenny Loves to Read
15. My Tea Time is Book Time

Of course, there's many others I've failed to mention, but as soon as I get another award, I'll let you know about them as well. 15 wasn't too much at all, which was definitely not my first thought reading the award rules. Again, thanks for reading and thanks for writing such beautiful blogs!

It has taken me an embarassing amountof time to get around to post anything, since I am in the middle of exams. I am not even reading as much as I usually do! But everything in life is easier when you are acknowledged, and that is exactly the warm, fuzzy feeling I got from five wonderful bloggers this past week. Thank you for spreading the positive vibrations!

Award: B-I-N-G-O

Lizzy, whose blog Historically Obsessed I absolutely adore, thought my blog was "neighbourly", and presented me with an award, which I am to forward to five bloggers. Thank you so much Lizzy!

And here are my picks:

B: Beautiful, Today I Read
I: Informative, My World
N: Neighbourly, Wordsmithonia
G: Gorgeous: Hist-Fic Chick (try saying that four times in a row!)

Award: The Zombie Chicken Award

Many, many thanks to the wonderful Melissa over at her blog, who awarded with my very first award EVER! Melissa, thank you for choosing this little corner of the blogosphere to award, you really made my day! Here is a little bit about my award.

The blogger who receives this award believes in the Tao of the zombie chicken - excellence, grace and persistence in all situations, even in the midst of a zombie apocalypse. These amazing bloggers regularly produce content so remarkable that their readers would brave a raving pack of zombie chickens just to be able to read their inspiring words. As a recipient of this world-renowned award, you now have the task of passing it on to at least 5 other worthy bloggers. Do not risk the wrath of the zombie chickens by coosing unwisely or not choosing at all.

Here are the 5 people this award goes to:
