Liebster Award… Again!

Did you miss me!? Don’t lie. Well I know at least one of you did. Giggles saw fit to nominate me for the liebster award! Mostly as a way to bring me back out of hiding, but we’ll go ahead and pretend that it was just simply out of the kindness of her heart. Thank you so much for this! If you have yet to venture over to her blog I strongly suggest that you do so. Like, not “now”, but “right now”. Do it!

Ok, onto the rules:

-Acknowledge the blog that gave it to you and display the award
-Answer the 11 questions that the blogger gives you
-Give 11 random facts about yourself
-Nominate 11 blogs and notify them of their nomination
-Give these bloggers 11 questions to answer

Giggles’s (Giggles’*? I don’t know… Where’s a Grammar For Dummies book when you need it!?) Questions:

-If you had to pick just one classic Disney movie to watch for the rest of your life, which one would it be and why? I’m talking released pre-2005.
Beauty and the Beast, a better Disney villain does not exist. You can ask any Tom, Dick, or Stanley… Fight me!

-If you had to choose between saving a clown from a horribly painful death or ordering a free pizza, what kind of toppings would you get?
Trick question, I’d save the clown. And together we would get a sausage and pepperoni pizza with a side of “you got something against clowns!?”

-Does the world really need the new Grinch movie that is coming out this holiday season?
The world needs exactly zero more Disney remakes. Leave my childhood alone, go get your own, fanboy!

-When you go to the movies, explain to me your thought process – where do you sit? Why? Snacks – do you bring your own or buy there? Pay for VIP showings? Time of day? How close to opening night do you go?
With this question you’re really assuming that I plan my movie goings a whole lot more than I actually do.

-If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
A remodeled version on the house that I grew up in.

-How early do you start your Christmas shopping? Are you a “gets started in May” type of person, or an “Ooo it’s December 23rd already? Better get shopping” person?
As there is only a handful of holidays that I actually care about, and Christmas is not one of them, I tend to do most of my shopping mid to late December. Judge away.

-What’s the perfect way to celebrate your birthday?
For me? Sleeping in, spending the day with Noodle, and the night with a cold beer, good movie, and a nightcap.

-Do you have different versions of yourself depending on who you are talking to?
Doesn’t everyone?

-What’s one fact that people tend to be shocked to find out about you?
Lately, it’s been that I guess I actually know more sign language than I usually give myself credit for. Before, it was either my ability to juggle or to solve a Rubik’s cube.

-Thrift shops – awesome places of wonderment and joy, or full of gross things that people have already owned/wore?
Unfortunately both. Awesome places to find wonderfully gross pre-owned items. Great place for used books though.

-Rental Car insurance – do you get it from the rental place, or make sure you have your own set up before you rent?
I turn it down and count on my grandma-esque driving to get the car back to them safely.

11 Facts:

1- I always complete blog awards in their entirety. However, my main motivation for writing these facts is that Giggles said that she would follow the rules with this one and then ended up skipping this part.
2- This is my second liebster award!
3- I’m toying around with the idea of joining the Navy National Guard once I retire.
4- I didn’t vote.
5- Noodles’ real name is an ode to my last living grandparent.
6- I sent an “if you don’t hear from me within 12 hours my body can be found somewhere around…” text to a friend right before my most recent booty call.
7- I was once robbed at gunpoint, in front of my grandmoms’ house.
8- I Google words that I don’t know the meaning of on a weekly basis.
9- It took me a month to realize that it had been more than a month since I had published a new blog post.
10- I’m still not entirely sold on my belief of what happens to us after we die.
11- One of these “facts” is a lie.

P.S. Due to Whisper Down The Lane (or “The Telephone Game” as some of you heathens call it) the rules for this have been a little skewed. If you’re interested in competing for a small prize you can visit this link, check out the official rules, and tailor your blog accordingly.
