I got a Liebster Award from Karin at Pinwheels and Poppies because she fucking rocks. Hello… flowers right in the title! I have recently totally pimped out some fellow bloggers, so I won’t do that part, but I will answer the questions. Thanks, Karin! And thanks again!
11 Questions for Those Being Awarded:
1. What is your earliest memory?
If I don’t think about it for hours, the first thing that pops into my head is this song about the months of the year. Kind of impossible to describe, aside from the months themselves which hopefully you already know. In three languages. Also, I remember my parents having two orange Javelins.
2. What are your personal religious/spiritual beliefs?
Not.
3. Favorite comfort food?
Sweet: Bottle Caps
Salty: BBQ Kettle Chips, almonds
4. Are you crafty? If so, what’s your crafting niche?
Refinishing furniture. Or possibly remodeling rooms.
5. Who do you think is hotter- Johnny Depp or Robert Downey Jr?
Currently, Downey.
6. What’s your astrological sign? Do you believe in astrology?
Monkey. And no. That was Chinese astrology.
7. How many countries have you been to? Which ones?
One. This one. Alas.
8. Have you read 50 Shades of Grey? Opinion?
No, but I hear it’s pretty bad.
9. Which decade do you feel like you belong in? Why?
I feel like I was born at least 10 years too soon. Until all this internet business and bloggery, I felt like something was missing.
10. Do you garden? If yes, what kind of gardening do you do?
The flowers in my avatar are ones I planted and tended. The pink ones get over 5 feet tall. Seriously.
11. What blows your mind more- outer space or life as we know it?
Outer space. We already know life as we know it.

But I got here with the mostest of the firstest!
All of that is good.
SWEEEET – congrats
It was a nice recognition from Pinwheels and Poppies.
I came across a comment from you that you’ve got over 900 posts? How long have you been blogging? Like 3 weeks?
No, about a year. Technically I started in June of 2011, but I consider August 18th my starting date because that’s when I really started posting regularly.
Wow – that’s about 2.5 posts/day on average….
Yes. I’ve been wondering if that is too much. Or maybe splitting my blog up into fragments. I’m already trying that with Lyrical Anarchy, which is 100% poetry.
I think it’s entirely up to you – just as long as the expectation that everyone will read everything is not too high
– I have a hard enough time keeping up with daily single posts. But if you have a large following- they will pick and choose. And it depends on why you are writing – if it’s for you, then multiple posts can be fine. I think the downside of multiple posts per day is that the one you post prior to the one you will post again might get lost in the shuffle. It doesn’t have the chance to ‘age’ like fine wine.
I’m not sure if it wouldn’t be better to have several smaller followings that focus on different topics on different blogs. At the same time, that wouldn’t be me, exactly.
Meh. I’ll work it out. No biggie. I could have worse problems, like writer’s block.
I think there’s no write (haha)/wrong answer – you just do what you do b/c it’s your space to do it.
Sometimes blogs are like those Zynga games on Facebook.
you mean you grow to love Boggle and the fuckers take it away?
No, I mean the FarmVille and Yoville and such. Very Tamagotchi-like. Feed me!
Excellent response to number 11. Okay, they were all excellent responses, but number 11 was the most excellent of the excellent responses. Congrats!
Thanks. I have answered lots of questions lately, haven’t I?
That is a very profane-looking award, you know.
Why? It’s got a pink circle around a pink heart. I don’t get it.
I watch too much porn, I guess.
Just because it has a big pink heart on?
Yeah, I like a good heart-on.
Really? You must love Valentine’s Day then.
I had no idea you could answer questions so succinctly.
And of course, Congratulations!
Yeah, well….
And thanks.
