I was recently nominated for the Liebster Award from Ben Pastore!
Whoot!
The rules are that I state 11 random facts about myself, answer 11 questions from my nominator (Ben), nominate 11 other bloggers with 200-ish followers, and give them 11 questions to answer. Then the people that I nominate do same things that I did.
Whew! Did you get all of that?
Let the bore-fest BEGIN!

Answering Ben Pastore‘s 11 Questions
1. What do you picture yourself doing 5 years from now?
Hmmm…
Rubs crystal ball
I see…I see myself still in college pursing a degree and, most of all, writing (that’s a constant).
2. Who is the person that has had the greatest influence on your life?
My parents. They keep me going! 🙂
3. If you were given a blank ticket good on any airline, where would you go and why?
New Zealand to see Hobbiton (I HAVE to know if Gandalf’s beard is real!)
4. What makes you sadder than anything else?
I’m a family person so I feel worst when they feel bad.
5. What was the last kind act you did for someone?
I spotted a spider on my keyboard, I raised a shoe to hit it, but I thought it would be nicer if I waited until it crawled off. You know…for the laptop’s sake?
(I’m joking)
I helped a friend study for a quiz this week. 🙂
6. Do you consider yourself a person open to new ideas?
Yeppers! In fact, the whole reason why I decided to go to college was to broaden my horizons!
7. What was your single most coolest experience in your life?
When I attended my very first symphony–it was surreal!
8. Would you still write if no one else could see what you wrote?
Heck yeah! I don’t write for my stories to be read. Don’t get me wrong, I would LOVE for people to read what I write! However, I write because I just have to. I can’t go to long without writing because I get…well…lets just hope I’ve written something.
9. To your mind, what would you need to accomplish to consider yourself successful in life?
I consider myself successful when I learn something new. If I am not leaning something new then I am failing to approve myself.
10. Who’s the best ‘unknown’ author that you’ve read?
Oh it was….uh….I don’t think they gave their name. (All joking aside…I really can’t remember. Sorry!)
11. Would you be willing to change your thoughts and behavior if your life were in the balance?
Depends on the situation and what my thoughts or behavior is being changed into.
