Santa Claus Of The Blogosphere!

First, I’d like to say Happy International Women’s Day – belated, I know – to all women who are standing up in their life for their rights right in the 21st century. 🙂

And then, I bet you are wondering what’s that title, well, I won’t beat about the bush, so An Evil Nymph’s Blog has been receiving blog awards since I last posted about them at the end of January. Thus since the beginning of February, awards have accumulated in my bookmark, constantly urging me everyday to put them out in a post, and today… is finally the day!

For most of the awards the rules are the same so: thank the person who gave it to you, post it on your blog, tell 7 (well the number varies…) random things about you and pass it on!

Let’s begin with: (so that I won’t have to repeat the same thing for every award…)

7 random things about me:

1. I’m an evil character who’s struggling to be good 🙂 Like Rumpelstiltskin.

2. I have a strange urge to eat preserved cherries.

3. I want a hat like the Mad Hatter’s!

4. I’m acting very childish lately. My excuse: it’s for my dose of imagination. As a writer, I need that.

5. I’ll turn 18 in exactly 54 days! (considering that we’re on the 10th of March)

6. I love paradoxes.

7. And finally… I’M TOTALLY ADDICTED TO ADVENTURE TIME. O.O That leads me to: I want to make an animation someday!

Now…

I thank Andy from My Story To You for awarding me with the Versatile Blogger award and the Beautiful Blogger award:

I thank Rohan7Things for the Wonderful Team Member Readership award:

I also thank It’s A Blog About Nothing for the Liebster award:
