Kreativ Blogger Award


Well, somehow, I have managed to be nominated for another award. If I tag you, you're it!!!



The rules for this little ditty are:
1. Thank the one who gave it to you.
2. Copy the logo and place it on your blog.
3. Link to the person who nominated you for this award.
4. Name 7 things about you that people think are interesting.
5. Nominate 7 Kreativ Bloggers.

So, "Thank you, thank you, thank you" to Flying Down to Rio! You're the best :)

MY 7 FACTS:
  • 1. I have "photographic movie memory." I never forget a face and come out undefeated when playing "name that actor," "name that movie," etc. I sometimes scare people... including myself!
  • 2. I can play the banjo. Haha, don't know if that's interesting or hilarious?
  • 3. I double-majored in English and Classical Languages and Literatures, which means that (at one point in time) I could translate ancient Greek.
  • 4. Theda Bara : Arab Death : : Meredith Grau : Rue Grim Death! ;)
  • 5. Have been told I look like: Uma Thurman, Angela Lansbury, Kristen Bell, Ali Larter, and Meryl Streep. Tell people I look like: Samuel L. Jackson. Haha!!!
  • 6. Related to (among others): William the Conqueror, Bad King Edward of Braveheart fame, and at least 2 KY bootleggers. Wealth, power, and debauchery!!!
  • 7. Quickies--
              Makes Me Smile: My Sister
              Makes Me Cry: Silent Films
              Love: Uncontrollable Laughter
              Hate: The sound of a ringing phone!

MY 7 NOMINEES: (It was hard to widdle this one down! I read so many of you!!! But here are those I haven't paid homage to yet).


Congrats, and thanks to all for reading my work and writing your own brilliant blogs!!!

  1. #1 sounds so handy!! I wish I possessed that skill. I am forever watching a film where I know that I've seen such and such an actor but can't quite place him.

    I wish I knew how to translate ancient greek. That sounds like so much fun!
