A few weeks ago Enid Twiglet nominated me for a Liebster Award (Thank you Enid Twiglet!) which was such a pleasant surprise even though I technically didn't know what it was. After looking it up I found out that Liebster can be roughly translated to 'sweetheart.' Ok awesome, so the sweetheart award, or survey rather, just a fun get to know you! Yay!
The rules for the award are:
1. List 11 facts about yourself
2. Answer the 11 questions the blogger who nominated you left
3. Ask 11 new questions for those you nominate
4. Choose 11 bloggers with less than 200 followers to nominate
5. Go to each bloggers page and let them know about the award
6. Thank the person who nominated you and link back to their blog
11 Totally Random Fun Facts About Me:
1. I have been to 22 National Parks so far; I don't have a specific numeral goal but that number WILL increase over time!
2. I absolutely love pickles! Pickles, olives and pickled things (like pickled okra!) are my favorite 'snack without ruining your dinner' snack.
3. I'm definitely a collector of the strange, unusual and random. I say collector, others might say borderline hoarder...
4. I love sports - watching and playing, and I especially love inventing new games to play around with.
5. I harbor deep fantasies of living off the grid in a treehouse or a cobb house - maybe it'll be a cobb treehouse!
6. I am an artist in the sense that I live to create - however, I do not actually possess any consistent artistic abilities!
7. I do not particularly care for eggplant. It's one of the only things I really don't like eating - that and the gross lettuce that looks like moss in "mixed greens" EW!
8. The DLK, my first real job, made the absolute, hands down, best breakfast burrito I have ever eaten ever. To this day no breakfast burrito has ever come close, but still I search.
9. I really do wish for world peace.
10. I have a purple couch. I love it.
11. My hair is currently the longest it has ever been, and now I want to cut it all off!
Enid Twiglet's questions for me:
1. If you could only wear one colour for the rest of your life what would it be?
Blue. It's my standby favorite, always there when I'm over yellow and red isn't speaking to me. I'll grow old with Blue.
2. If you could go back in time and offer advice to the 15 year old you what would you say?
Keep being strong and hold true to what you believe in. Practice open communication and love in every aspect, expand your mind and forget the rest.
3. Who inspires you the most?
Mother Nature and all she has to offer!
4. If you could have a theme song to your life what would it be?
The Gummi Bears theme song!, definitely.
5. Did you have an imaginary friend/pet when you were little and if so what was their name?
Strangely, no. I pretty much pretended I was Ayla or Sacagawea on my own expedition if I was playing outside by myself, otherwise solitary acts would have been lots of reading.
6. What is the one talent you don’t have but really wish you did?
Holmes' talent of deduction.
7. What did you want to be when you grew up and are you doing it/still want to do it?
I wanted to be a teacher, and that's more or less what I went to school for. I'm not sure I want to be one now.
8. If you could experience being any kind of animal for one day what would you be?
Definitely a bird because of what they are able to see, incredible views and remote locations...aaaaand probably a Bald Eagle. Cause hello, badass.
