Hello Readers!
Now I know you are all waiting to hear about Kosovo am I
right? Well the reason that has been delayed is I became very ill over here in
Bulgaria. VERY ill. But I will write about that later. This post it to tell you
that I have been nominated for the “Versatile Blogger Award!” Because my blog
is not only about living in Bulgaria but also: traveling around, teaching,
real life, growth, friendship, and discovery-It apparently makes me very
versatile! At least that is what the blogger over at “Fashionably Kate”
thought. http://eversofashionablykate.com/
 |
| Isn't it pretty?!?! |
I am truly honored to be thought of for this, and honestly
blogging has been helping me not only share my adventures with my family and
friends back home but also keep track of the craziness that ensues! However,
with this nomination comes the stereotypical fine print, which I actually
always read btw. ALWAYS READ. Even the tiny print on those infomercial at 2
a.m. ;)
 |
| Sometimes it's hysterical |
So Fine print:
Display the award on your blog
Mention/link the people who nominated you
Nominate another 15 bloggers who you feel should be given
this award
Inform them you have nominated them
Write 7 facts about yourself
Sell your soul for a packet of skittles…wait, hold on! That
one isn’t for this award, it’s for a kids 6th birthday party.
Whoops!

| I want him at all of my parties from now on! |
So because I am very ill and I think that I am allowed to
take it easy for a few days I will nominate my 15 later on in the weekend when
I am feeling better and can think straight. However here are my 7 random facts
about myself!
1: I am obsessed with 1920’s, ‘30’s, and ‘40’s films
especially in Black and White. I watch them on youtube in bed at night and
pretend I am in the cinema back in the day with snazzy ushers and penny
popcorn.
2:I don’t like purple skittles, I know that’s odd right? But
they just are too ‘dull’? for me I guess.
3:My favorite Disney original character is Goofy (originally
is important because Winnie the Pooh is another one of my favorites but
wouldn’t count in this category!) I love that Goofy always got to wear clothes
when Pluto didn’t and it was funny because Pluto was more intelligent but Goofy
was so optimistic. To me it seems an analogy to mankind: We may not always be
the brightest but the optimism is what gets us through. No matter how many
times he was injured he kept going, I really loved that about him. *Cue my
sister mouthing at the screen “You seriously over think these things! It’s a
Disney character!”
4:*Warning for explitives used in direct quotation!*
My friend Kaylee jokes that I am her Vulcan and I actually
found a fanfiction story that has Kirk going off saying “That is it! That’s
all. The end. Get your hands off my Vulcan! That’s not just the first officer
of my ship—the Federation flagship—that Vulcan is my Vulcan. I’m sure you people have girlfriends, boyfriends, wives,
consorts, harem-boys—whatever the hell it is you people do—but that? That is
MINE. Holy shit, stop touching my fucking Vulcan.”

| I swear she followed me here.. |
 |
| What a beauty! |
Now Kaylee would NEVER say it that way, but we read it and
thought it was so funny that after we constantly said I was her Vulcan, someone
wrote about it in fanfiction. But in reality people joke I’m a Vulcan because I
act on logic instead of emotion, I am not one to jump but instead carefully
think things through. The craziest I’ve gotten was hopping a bus out of Bosnia
early to get to make it to Albania! I also am very guarded and don’t display
emotion as easily as others do. It’s jut how I roll lol.
5: I had this adviser in undergrad who didn’t want to grant
me permission to take extra credits, and I panicked. I was 19, I wanted to graduated in 2.5 years and really take
on the world, and if she didn’t let me take those extra credits I couldn’t take
Existentialism and really investigate who I was. So I stood there and talked as
quickly as possible saying “It is the purpose of a higher learning institution
to try and engage their student body and push them to the very limits of their
capability and intelligence, this is what I am trying to do and if you do not
support that I am at a loss.” To which she finally said “fine, but if you burn
out I warned you.” Well I didn’t burn out, I took 4 years to graduate with 3
majors, 4 minors, and 80 classes, but I didn’t burn out, each class just fueled
me more and got me here today. But that was definitely my first ever act of
“telling it to the man.”
6:I overcame my fear of dogs while playing with these
huskies who were pulling my sled when I went dog sledding in Canada at the
Millennium New Years Celebration. They were so cute and cuddly that I stopped
worrying that they could eat me in one bite!
7: When I was 12 all the boys in my school band made fun of
me for playing trumpet because they said girls shouldn’t play trumpet so what
did I do? I learned how to play “Joy to the World, Jeremiah was a Bullfrog” on
the trumpet, while balancing utensils on my fingers that were pushing the keys.
No one doubted I could play after that. I also was not allowed to take utensils
out of the cafeteria again ;)
There you go! 7 random facts to show my awkward versatility!
Next post coming is my adventures of being sick in Bulgaria. This one is a real
nail biter so get your popcorn ready!
The song for tonight is: “A Guy Like You” from “The
Hunchback Of Notre Dame” because it celebrates people being different and shows
that some characteristic should be celebrated…like being versatile ;)
