I really was not sure what I was going to do for I. Fortunately, an Ideal Idea was practically handed to me. I was nominated for the famed Liebster Reward by my new blogging friend GlassHalfWhat? over at Failed Experiments & Experimental Failings. Generally I avoid these awards, since they end up Involving much more work than I actually want to put Into a typical blog post, but In the spirit of adventure that I am filled with lately, and for a lack of a better Idea, I will oblige.
Da Rules:
- Thank the person who nominated me and link back to their site.
- Post 11 random things about myself.
- Answer 11 questions that GlassHalfWhat? has for me.
- Ask my nominees 11 questions of my own!
- Nominate 11 other blogs (in this case from the A to Z challenge list)
