I feel special!

Tabitha Venasse over at Taking apart the complexities that are me has honored me with the Versatile Blogger reward!

As with all blog awards, there's some quid pro quo (is that the right Latin phrase?).  So here's the rules:

1. Thank the person who gave you the award

2. Share seven things about you

3. Nominate 15 newly discovered blogs

4. Let your nominees know about the award!

 

So here are my seven things:

1. When I was a kid, I used to roleplay my imaginary friends.  I would speak for them, as if I was them: Me: "Oh hi, Christi, what are you doing?" Me as Christi: "Oh, hi!  I'm just braiding this doll's hair." Me: "That sounds like fun!" etc.  I think I freaked out my parents a bit with this one.
2. I would watch Love Actually every day and still cry, laugh, and get mushy over it.
3. I try to re-read Catcher in the Rye every year, and then I go around unintentionally talking like Holden for a week or so.
4. I hate to cry with other people around, even though I cry with any strong emotion (happiness, anger, sadness, etc.)
5. I never had an inside dog before I got married.  Now, I will never have an outside dog again.
6. I'm obsessed with doing things in threes. If I get paper towels, I need three.  If I'm making a list, it needs to be a multiple of three. I like to arrange knick-knacks in groups of three.
7. I go through collecting phases.  I used to collect fish, then turtles, now I'm moving into owls.

That part wasn't so hard, but this next part will be.  I have to narrow this down to only 15?  Well, here it goes (in no particular order):

1. Rachel Elizabeth at Delete the Adjectives
2. Sarah at Confessions of the Un-Published
3. The Badass Geek himself
4. Kara at Crayons and Cylons
5. Ambiguous Geek at Geeky Ambiguous Me
6. Essie at Loch Ess Monster
7. Jamie at Finding Bliss in a Life More or Less Ordinary
8. Freckle from Freckle on the Nose of Life's Complexion
9. The Mecurial Wife herself
10. Allison at My Quarter-life Crisis
11. Another David at I've Never Been Good with Titles
12. The Bear Monk at Inappropriate Remarks
13. Rob at The Stir-Fried Dinosaur
14. Amanda from The Zen Leaf
15. Sarah at Sarah's random musings

Go out little blog award, go forth and multiply!
