Awarded Muchly

Hi, everyone!

Today, I'm doing a factoid blog post in honor of my little ol' blog receiving 2 blog awards! Woottttt lol. Carrie Butler (who has an awesome blog with artsy blog button giveaways and the occasional vlog-like thing) was sweet enough to give me The Irresistibly Sweet Blog Award, and Carrie AND Lady Gwen (who is awesome and a runner and has a great blog) gave me the Versatile Blogger Award this week. Color me happy and flattered and awed and stoked, all at the same time lol.

Check them out in all of their awardy glory:

Now, both of them require me to list some fun facts about myself, so I'm going to do as Carrie did and give 10 facts for all instead :)

1. I feel antsy if I don't read a book in a given period. It's like a necessary vacay for me :)

2. When I was in high school, I wore a ring on each thumb, and I would worry them constantly. When I finally decided to take them off, I felt like I didn't have my blankie anymore :)

3. I have had stitches twice in my life, one for my bottom lip and one for when I was little and almost chopped the edge of my finger off when a porch swing pinned it against a ledge. Heebies, I know, I have them too lol

4. I played the clarinet for most of my life, but I haven't played it since high school. (P.S. it was the bass clarinet in my late high school years).

5. I want to learn how to play the acoustic guitar. And I want to doodle one like Maggie Stiefvater did here. Gorgeous.

6. I'm a "have a few really good friends than a lot of acquaintances" person for the most part.

7. I like painting my fingers dark colors when I'm feeling antsy or dramatic. 

8. I have SO many goals that I can't commit to just one. I'm a serial anti-monogamist when it comes to dreaming.

9. I make up weird dances when I'm running on too little sleep. And I name them.

10. I hate negativity or drama, unless I'm watching it on TV. 

Mmk, that was fun. lol. I hope I didn't bore anyone. Now I'm supposed to pass it on to several other awesome people, but I want to do something different with these awards. I see a lot of blogs on a regular basis. A LOT, and it's always hard to tell who has already gotten what award and whether or not the person even wants to receive these things, so I want to change it up. 

I have such awesome followers that I want to give these awards to any of my followers that really want them. I would love to see y'all's fun facts when I stop by, so if you feel so inclined, take these awards and brandish them proudly on your page. Think of it as my follower appreciation gesture :)

Now to leave you with a song to write by, "All That We Needed" by the Plain White T's. It's an upbeat Friday song, which is just we needed. Ha. I couldn't help it. 

HUGE reminder: If you haven't already, please stop by Misty's Book Rat blog to enter in for a chance of winning my book Glittering Ashes. And as a favor, if you could mention the giveaway on your blog, I would <3 you something crazy. I really want to get the word out about my book, and I can't do it without all of y'all's help. Thank you, muchly.
