Versatile Blogger Award

I’m just so damn Versatile!

This was such a lovely – and timely – Christmas present! I say “timely” because I was just counting my blessings this holiday season that, between my PR courses and this blog, I get to spend every day doing something I love.

Thank you, Ambitious Poet, for thinking of me for this award! It’s always a wonderful thing to know that somebody enjoys reading my blog as much as I enjoy writing it.

Now down to business.  According to the rules, I must now make you all aware of seven things about me:

1. I believe in extraterrestrial life. I do. Not necessarily the little-green-men-in-flying-saucers type of life.  I just think that it’s more impossible to imagine that in the vastness of space, we are the only planet able to sustain life.
2. I failed the written test for my driving learners’ permit three times.  I still maintain that a driver who makes sure everyone in the car is wearing a seatbelt is the best answer.
3. I can’t roll my “r’s”, like how some people can when they say things like “Arriba!”. The catch is that French is my second language and rolling r’s is pretty key, so I kind of just learned to emulate the sound by doing interesting things with my vocal cords.
4. As an only child, I had to create my own fun when I was little. My solution was to dream up an imaginary boyfriend, Peter. I remember telling my mom once that he didn’t have a job, so she told me to dump him.  I did.
5. I was traumatized by a swim instructor when I was five which resulted in me being terrified to put my face in any water for about another five years. To this day, I don’t so much put my face under the shower head as cup a handful of water and throw it at myself.
6. I completely believe in karma. What you do will come back to you, so don’t be a douchebag!
7. Zoos make me sad. It doesn’t matter if it’s old and run-down or the nicest, newest facility; some tire swings and sunning rocks don’t change the fact that the King of the Jungle is stuck in a box for the rest of his life.
