Versatile Blogger Award
A very cool fellow blogger My English Thoughts nominated little old me for the VERSATILE BLOGGER AWARD!!! Me!! The little Panic Monster! How awesome is that?? Thank You myenglishthoughts <3
The Blogosphere is a wonderful world that I am so happy to be a part of. I cant tell you how many talented writers I have found through WP alone. Amazing amazing stuff out there! I also abuse my ‘readomattic‘ option like its nobody’s business and have access to some major talent out there. Networking at its best!
Ok, so let me explain this award a little. Its an award passed from blogger to blogger. Its a great way to get your blog ‘out there’ and share with your readers who some of your favorite bloggers/writers are. These awards are ways to get the word out on a blog you subscribe to or just happen to dig a lot! Some very inspiring people out there, So Im super humbled to be receiving this award. Thank you
Now the idea in spreading the good word to others is:
1) Link back to the blogger that gave me the award .
2) Tell you 7 random things about myself.
3) Choose 15 other blogs to pass the award to.
4) Inform the other bloggers that I’m passing the award to them.
Ok here we go…
1) I have gone skydiving once. I did a tandem jump at 10.500 feet off a rickety old plane in Dundas ONT, Canada. It was a random and impulsive thing I did with a buddy of mine one Sunday afternoon and to be honest with you I would never do it again, mostly because it scared the living crap out of me (haha) but its a wonderful conversation piece and I love telling the story.
me about to land...
2) I am totally afraid of scary movies. I only watch them during the day, with the lights on, the curtains wide open and I press the ‘mute‘ button when the scary music starts to play and you know something is about to happen that will make you scream and jump..yup, no thanks, I will put it on mute. I just hate stressing myself out over a movie. Lol, I never watch them at night/alone or at the theater. Hell no.
no scary movies for me
3) Ive been writing since I was 9 years old. My grandmother used to have this old school typewriter and I would sit there and type out these crazy and imaginative stories. I would stay up all night typing away. I think writing was my very 1st passion. I have written countless stories and 1 screenplay… who knows, maybe 1 day..
I love writing
4) I have a weird phobia of patters and textures. For example, turtles shells. I hate hate hate them! Their crackly hard shell and their clusters of bumps and hard ridges on their body makes my skin itch like craaaazy!!! I also gag and I run away screaming. Snake skin and anything that has a repetitive patterns really creeps me out. Cant explain it. It just really creeps me out.
I hate turtles... eeek
5) Im a fantastic cook! I absolutely love to cook. I was pretty self-sufficient when I was a kid and started cooking at a very young age, I remember I would ask for cookbooks for Christmas and made my mom my unofficial guinea pig and would make her try all my new dishes. I love Latin dishes the best.
Yummy
6) When I was a kid, I wanted to be a pilot. I loved the idea of being able to transport myself from one end of the world to the other.
take me away
7) Last but not least…I am a bisexual woman, I dated a woman for 10 months and went through a time where I struggled with my sexuality. Didn’t know who I was, what my purpose was. Very confusing. I kissed a girl first before I ever kissed a boy.
The Blogs I nominate are:
Here are the 15 Blogs that I read on a regular basis that I would like to nominate for this award and share with my readers.
Through My Eyes: Adventures in Borderline Land
Wow, thank you so much! And thanks for your super kind words on my blog! They really really made my day better.
I went sky diving once too. It was a tandem jump (um, thank god) and as we got closer and closer to the ground, the chin strap on my helmet got tighter and tighter, eventually performing a very effective sleeper hold on me. Being unconscious really screws up your landing. It eliminated my fear of heights, and I don’t need to do it again.
OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG that is craaaaaaaazy!!!! thank GOD for your tandem master. omg omg..

Facinating facts about yourself – go and do that piloting dream now, you’ll love it !!!

Keep up the good work
OMG! Thank you so much for the nomination!!! I think about you often and you are in my prayers… I have changed my life a bit (last post in my blog
) And you are one of the many people who are in my mind to pray for most benevolent blessings every day as I do my morning walk and prayers. I feel like I know you and your blog has been such a sincere honest account of your trials and triumphs!!! Thank you so much sweetie!! Big hugs and gratitude to you … and now I am off to pay this award forward! xoxo Loads of blessings!! Anna
Thank you so much! I feel very honored that you thought of my blog for this award. I apologize for taking so long to accept it for.
THANK YOU! The award made my day! Of course I accept.
I’ll post tomorrow those blogs that I’m passing it on to. (You’ve already awarded to some of my choices! You keep good company 
) Your kind words on my blog were very humbling. Thank you for your kindness.
Congratulations on receiving this award, PM. As Grainne said above, you deserve it. Your blog is raw and gutsy and full of courage and honesty.
Your various anecdotes about yourself were very interesting too, along with the cool graphics
I could relate most to being terrified of horror movies. I won’t watch them if I’m alone, day or night. I’ll attempt to watch if my husband is here, but even then I see most of it through my fingers covering my eyes. For me, it’s not so much the sound as it is the sight of naked fear and gore and blood and stuff.
Thank you so much for honoring me with the award. I have appreciated not only reading your journal of triumph, but your loyal following of mine. It will be fun to pick out 15 new award winners
Oh, for those who don’t know, my blog is FantasyFic.

Meeeee toooo
*hug* We are gonna hafta keep in touch when you return to the homeland. Too bad Ontario and Saskatchewan are so far apart.
Thank you so much, P.M. – that was incredibly kind of you! This totally made my day!
I don’t think I can accept, though… I read too many blogs, they’re all great, and I’m afraid someone’s feelings might get hurt by my choosing.
Thank you again, though! I really do appreciate it – very much! I added you to my blogroll, because I very much appreciate both your kindness and your work here, as well!
No worries hun, I know exactly what you mean, it was difficult for me to narrow down 15. It has taken me over a week to finish this post!!!
Im just glad it made your day!! Thats what this is all about too <3
Thank you for adding me to your blogroll!!! I shall return the favor.
Thanks very much, P.M. – that is very kind of you as well!
Fascinating to read those random pieces of information about yourself.
And thanks for the nomination
Congrats!!! You deserve it..I love reading your blog. Sometimes I relate, sometimes I learn…often I connect.
