7 Things About Me:

• I enjoy writing Harry Potter fanfiction (go on and say it…I am nerd. :D)
• My favorite music genre is rock. Bring on the Nickelback, Boys Like Girls, and Green Day! Some other artists/bands I enjoy include Evanescence, Hilary Duff, Weezer, Taylor Swift, Linkin Park, and Carrie Underwood.
• As a child, the movie Lion King was my one true love. I had bed spreads, pillowcases, and wall art that were all Lion-King themed. And the movies, of course! For my 3rd birthday, I even had a Lion King-themed birthday cake.
• I think Maltese dogs are simply adorable!
• My hidden talent: I can burp by will.
• I am in an uber-awesome relationship of 3.5 years and counting. =] Haha I don’t think I’ve mentioned that in my own blog yet, so yeah.
• I have very bad luck with socks. Almost every pair I get ends up with holes within the first three months. D:

I would like to nominate the following bloggers:

Little White Lights – Video Blog – I can’t say enough good things about Megan and her videos, so I’m going to keep it short and sweet: this blog brings me joy everyday!

Where Lies My Tarp? – Everything Blog – My good friend Jordan-Marie covers a variety of topics, but mainly writing. She often includes cartoons and photos.

Nathan Bransford – Writing Blog – NB is a professional literary agent who gives advice on query letters (and other aspects of a literary life), provides confidence boosters for writers, and shares his opinions on everything literary from E-books to self-publishing.

Fashion Train – Fashion Blog – Becca introduces a variety of the latest styles and unique fashions. She has several competitions for her audience to participate in and always includes great photos in her blog posts.

Frankie Writes – Writing Blog – Here’s a story of a young, prolific writer who is getting her work out into the world and enjoying what she does best: writing!

Thick or Thin: Game Writing – Gaming Blog – Just like it sounds! This blogger writes video game reviews and provides several valuable resource links for gamers and writers alike.

Oh to Be a Muse – Fashion Blog – I chose this blog for my last one just because I didn’t have any more to share. No, I’m totally kidding! :P I love Cheryl Clarke’s blog because she always incorporates her life within the blog: she shares her fashion experiences and loves, her thoughts and her personal advice with readers. There is always some variety, so it never gets boring! It’s hard not to love a blog like this. :) (CC – haha don’t worry, you don’t have to redo the whole award thing again)
