A Special Thanx

     So, I went to log onto blogger today to find that I've been nominated for the coveted "The Versatile Blogger" award. So here, I proudly sport my badge of honor.

     I guess a proper acceptance speech is in order. Ahem. I'd like to thank my wonderful boyfriend, to whom this blog is dedicated to, for giving me the inspiration to face every day's troubles. I love you babe. Secondly, A SPECIAL thanks to Freckleonthenose at Freckle on the Nose of Life's Complexion for nominating me for this very special award and for being so amazingly entertaining and crafty. Also, let's not forget those poor souls who have, for whatever reason, decided to follow my blog. I thank ye very much. In closing, Poochie and I accept this award!


As custom dictates, I am now supposed to tell you seven eccentricities that make up my personality. So here goes nothing...

1.) I have a very odd attraction to glassware. Almost to the point where it is a sick obsession. In fact, when I'm feeling down and out, I know it's time to hit the local flea market for some old glass bottles. What you see below isn't even a quarter of my collection... which is sort of sad, I know...

2) I am a reincarnated Egyptian Prince. How do I know that? Well it's simple.  I read the hieroglyphs, I'm fluent in the knowledge of their mythologies, and I've been able to "walk like an Egyptian" since I was like, four. So there you have it... Egyptian Prince.

3) I read Tarot and palms.. sort of. I'm still mastering the art, but I'm slowly getting it down pat. But I've got the astrology part under my belt! ;)

4) I am the typical right-brained personality. What is not-so-typical is that I can do everything that involves that side of the brain exceptionally well. Now, don't think I'm cocky, but I can definitely tell when I do something good. I am a singer, dancer, artist, musician, writer, and photographer. I strive to be good at everything I do (part of the Virgo in me). And yes, those pics below are the latest samples of my photography. (both I am VERY proud of!)

5) I absolutely MELT at the sound of  classic swing/blues singers (in case you haven't got your speakers turned up, or have stopped the playlist.). I love Lady Gaga, but you've just got to respect Billy Holiday and the Andrews Sisters for starting it all! And yes, I know that music is far beyond my time, but I think that's why I love it!

6) Miley Cyrus gets under my skin and annoys the crap out of me. Have you heard her laugh? I just want to shove a pillow down her throat every time she does it. ugh.

7) I'm a Twi-hard fan... That's right. Every time Taylor Lautner comes onscreen shirtless, listen for me. I'll be that one guy in the theater screaming for him! ;)

     Phew... I'm glad that's over. All that talking about myself has left me feeling a bit narcissistic. ;)

So, without further ado, I pass this award onto the following lucky blogs:

1) Musings From a Writer
2) Always Musing
3) Scarbrough Spills
4) Sarah's Blog
5) Yama's Blog

wear the title well, fellow bloggers. You've earned it!
