Sunshine Blogger Award

Thank you to Mathew at Blog of the Wolf Boy for nominating me for the Sunshine Blogger Award! Mathew consistently posts interesting and thought-provoking content, including poetry and motivational writing. Recently, he posted a letter from the perspective from his 13-year-old self to his present-day self; it was really moving!

The rules:

• Thank the person who nominated you and provide a link back to him/her.
• Answer the 11 questions provided by the blogger who nominated you.
• Nominate 11 other bloggers and ask them 11 new questions.
• Notify the nominees by commenting on one of their blog posts.
• List the rules and display the Sunshine Blogger Award logo on your post.

The questions (complete-the-sentence style):

1. I love it when…a challenging bake turns out well!
2. If I could, I would…move into a completely different field of work in the next 1-3 years.
3. Not too many people know that…I love dancing, and I met my (soon-to-be) husband through swing dancing!
4. What really gets to my nerves…is when people lack awareness of their surroundings in public spaces, especially public transit.
5. I can’t comprehend why…people still listen to Fox News.
6. My fantasy job would be…something creative.
7. If I were a color, I’d be…a purplish-blue shade.
8. Sometimes when I’m by myself…I think about what my life would be like if I had made completely different choices earlier on.
9. This may sound crazy but…here’s my number, so call me maybe. Just kidding! I don’t know how to answer this.
10. The funniest thing about me…(according to my partner) is the way that I talk to our cats. I use a lot of baby-talk, but then other times I try to lecture them earnestly as though they are humans.
11. It doesn’t really matter if…people follow a rigid “path” to their career or lifestyle (or what career or lifestyle people have, as long as they are not hurting anyone).

Questions for the next round:

1. What food could you not live without?
2. How frequently do you remember your dreams?
3. Do you prefer warmer or cooler weather?
4. What was the last thing that made you laugh out loud?
5. What grosses you out?
6. What book has influenced you the most, and how?
7. Do you consider yourself a creative person? Why or why not?
8. What is your favorite thing to eat for breakfast?
9. Describe a quirky trait about yourself!
10. What relaxes you when you’re feeling tense or stressed out?
