The Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger Award


I've been nominated by Blodeuedd at Book Girl of Mur-y-Castell for the Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger Award from Gini Koch.

As Gini Koch say's:
This award was created to honor those whose blogs who exemplify the qualities Katherine "Kitty" Katt has -- those who always stay cutting edge, who always find the fun, the funny, and the cool, and who are always one step ahead of the competition.


The "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger Award" is only given to the amazingly awesome, so get down with your bad self, you're deemed worth to run with the A-C's! And you're also one step closer to being inthe running for some cool prizes. (Contest is international.)


Your mission details: 
  1. Slap the graphic on your blog.
  2. Give link props to the person who gave you the award (keep the hard, best, fast and strong on your side!).
  3. Spread the awesome and nominate five (5) other bloggers who you think exemplify what it means to be cool, fun and cutting edge.
  4. Let the recipients know they’ve won this honor on their blogs.
  5. Last but not least, shoot Gini Koch an email at gini@ginikoch.com and let her know you’re the best of the best of the best, sir! (put “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger” in the subject line!) by sharing that you’ve been nominated and telling her which other bloggers you nominated, and she’ll enter you into the “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger” Contest. Find out more details and what the loot is at http://www.ginikoch.com/winstuff.htm
My 5 Awesome Picks!

Now I'm off to let all these wonderful people know about the award...

Awards

I won this amazingly cool award from http://melissawatercolor.blogspot.com/.  This one is just so cool for book lovers. :) Thank you!!!!

So, what award is it and why do I love it?  Well, please keep reading.  (I've been wanting this series for some time now.)


This is what this award means:

Congratulations, you’ve won the honor of being Worth Your Weight in a ‘Gator Battle! 

The award was created in honor of (at least according to them) the real stars from “Alien Tango”. No, not Katherine “Kitty” Katt or Jeff Martini. Alliflash and Gigantagator, Alligators Extraordinaire! 

The “Worth Your Weight in a ‘Gator Battle Award” is only given to the wily, the brave, and the cheeky, so get down with your bad self, you’re deemed worthy to run with the A-C’s! 


Now you get to spread the awesome by nominating other bloggers who would also be worth their weight in a ‘gator battle. Battling ‘gators is not for sissies or wimps -- only the strong survive -- so choose wisely! 



Your mission details: 
  1. Slap the graphic on your blog post.
  2. Give link props to the person who gave you the award (don’t rile a ‘gator fighter -- it’s dangerous).
  3. Spread the awesome and nominate five (5) other bloggers who you think will be worth their weight in a ‘gator battle.
  4. Let the recipients know they’ve won this honor on their blogs.
  5. Last but not least, shoot Gini Koch an email at gini@ginikoch.com and let her know you’re worthy of running with the A-C’s (put “Worth My Weight” in the subject line!) by sharing that you’ve been nominated and telling her which other bloggers you nominated, and she’ll enter you into the “Worth Your Weight” Contest. Keep reading to find out more details and what the loot is below.

Of course, you can choose to ignore your awesomeness, but then you’ll never have a chance to nab your own A-C or win the loot. And you know you want both. 


Contest runs from Wednesday, February 1, 2011 through Monday, February 28, 2011.

Award: Honest Scrap



I am a little slow at getting my awards out here. This award has been graciously passed on to me by two great blogs; One_Persons_Journey_Through_Books and Parajunkee.


Here are the details: The Honest Scrap works like this. I will list 10 true things about myself and then tag 7 more blogs to go through the process.


I am sorry I have delayed in passing this award on. As you can tell I like to procrastinate. So my first true thing of myself starts here:


1. I do have a bad habit of procrastinating. It's not that I don't want to do something I just, at times, can't get the motivation to get to doing it. There always seems to be something else closer to the top of the list (which has been left to go for a later date as well.)


2. I was never a big book reader growing up. I have just started really seriously reading about two years ago now.


3. I keep a writing journal by my bed and one in my purse. You never know when a thought is going to strick you so I like to know there is a journal near by. When I get ideas for a new or a started story I ponder it for a while and write it down, trying to think how to work it in to the stories. (No, I have not yet finished a story. I am hoping to be better settled in a years time to be able to put more time and effort into my thoughts. Do I plan on getting published? NO. I like to create the stories for fun. Even if no one else will ever read them.)


4. I am not very patient. When I want something - I want it now. Many times I will try to save the money and as soon as I have the amount away I go to get it.


5. I try to plan things ahead of time. I am one of those that has to have a schedule I follow just about everyday. I don't have to have exact times but the idea of what I do is there. Little things can change, but I get irritated whe it is a drastic change or I am totally and completely disturbed from normal things. I have to work on this one, it is my biggest problem.


6. I am soooooo not a morning person. I need to have at least 7 hours of sleep or don't come near me or look at me. lol. I take a few hours to wake up. I may be up and moving but I am not awake yet.


7. Some friends have told me they thought I was mean or something when they first met me because I wouldn't talk much. But once I got to know them, I have not been able to shut up. lol. I love to talk, and about just about anything too. That is part of the reason I love to comment so much.


8. I read extremely slow. I may even reread sections several times to make sure I understand everything. My mind seems to pick a story apart and piece it back together and speculate on it afterward as to where the story is going. I wish I could read faster, but enjoy thinking and pondering on what ill happen and why in any book. So at each time I put the book down I constantly think on it.


9. I am a sticky note person! My books have little color coordinated post-its along with the lined ones sticking out the side. I tag spots I think I may want to come back to in order to reread or to back up what happens. I also tag spots where I have questions, I always like to know my questions are answered in a story or if not in this book maybe in the next one of the series.


10. Lately... and I am ashamed to admit this one. I have had a problem with the swearing. Those aweful little words have been easily flowing out of my mouth lately. I have got to reel it in a little bit. I think I have made myself over stressed with trying to get everything done and appease everyone for the holidays. But, that will be part of my New Year resolutions.


Okay, Now I need to pass this on to other nominees... (I know there is not seven here, but I didn't want to pass on to everyone and leave no one left to pass to. lol) If you have already received this award congrats and sorry for doubling you up.

Zombie Chicken Award

I just have to say off the bat here, this is a wonderfully hilariously named award. I just love it. Yet there is some serious meaning behind this award. I am sure many of you have seen this award floating around and being awarded to people. I do agree with the meaning behind this award as for it is very true.


The blogger who receives this award believes in the Tao of the zombie chicken - excellence, grace and persistence in all situations, even in the midst of a zombie apocalypse. These amazing bloggers regularly produce content so remarkable that their readers would brave a raving pack of zombie chickens just to be able to read their inspiring words. As a recipient of this world-renowned award, you now have the task of passing it on to at least 5 other worthy bloggers. Do not risk the wrath of the zombie chickens by coosing unwisely or not choosing at all.


I have come across a few, well more than a few, outstanding blogs which I am now following. The bloggers I would like to award this award to are as follows:


SciFiGuy.ca at http://www.scifiguy.ca/

I know there are only three blogs here but there are additional bloggers I would have loved to award this to; however, they have already received this award from others and I can't give this award to everyone otherwise there would be no one left to award to. So, I will be on the watch for the zombie chickens as they may be looking for me...
