+A Long  has just nominated me for this award. (Thank you, dear!)

This is seriously humbling. I have been writing for years, but am new to the blogging community.

Here are the rules:
1) Display the award logo on my blog
2) State SEVEN facts about myself.
3) Link back to the person who nominated you.
4) Nominate FIFTEEN other Bloggers who deserve this
5) Notify each of the Bloggers of their nomination for this award.

Here are SEVEN facts about me:

1) I have five tattoos: the red and green Mario mushrooms, a phoenix, a rockhopper penguin, and a yin/yang (in the form of a sun/moon).

2) While I love technology and can't live without it, to me, nothing compares to the sturdiness of vintage things. I own two record players and a typewriter. I love listening to music on Vinyl. It has a richness to it. I own a nook, but still buy books. My bookshelves (I have five) are literally overflowing with books. I can't stop buying them.

3) Editing is my real passion, even more so than writing. I do it for friends now just for fun. Someday I hope to make a living at it. Right now I am currently in school working on my Bachelor's in English. I work at a magazine publishing company. My hope is that somehow, someway, I can move from here over to book publishing. To read and edit for a living!! I can't think of anything better.

4) My favorite book genre for fiction is sci/fi/ fantasy (both to write and read). For non-fiction it is philosophy. I enjoy Kierkegaard, Sartyr, Nietzsche, and many others. What I enjoy most about it though is that it motivates you to think critically and question EVERYTHING.

5) I don't believe in God per se, but I sometimes speculate that there may be a supreme being of some sort (or many). If there wasn't one though, it wouldn't be upsetting to me. The most likely answer to me though is something none of us have thought of, like cats are Gods or something equally ridiculous. It is more likely that all of us have it wrong, than that one of us has been lucky enough to glimpse the truth.

6) My favorite book is Atlas Shrugged. Favorite song is "A Case of You" by Joni Mitchell, on vinyl. My favorite show is Walking Dead. My favorite movie is The Wizard of Oz.

7) I don't remember what my natural hair color looks like.
