Thanks to Kayla over at Perfecting Patty for The Dragon’s Loyalty blog award! Apparently, this award is a combination of The Versatile Blogger Award and The Very Inspiring Blogger Award (cool, a two-fer! 🙂 ). This is the second award she’s nominated me for, the first being a Liebster Award. I’m glad she’s a fan!
So, the “rules”:
- Display the Award Certificate on your website
- Announce your win with a post and link to whoever presented your award
- Present 15 awards to deserving bloggers (I think I’ll do ten.)
- Drop them a comment to tip them off after you’ve linked them in the post
- Post 7 interesting things about yourself.
Okay, so 1 and 2, check. 3 and 4 after 5.
Seven Interesting Things About Me (disclaimer: These types of questions are my bane 😉 )
1) I’ve been an aircraft mechanic, working on F/A-18 Hornets while in the Navy.
2) I was treated to a Cirque du Soleil show in Hong Kong after giving a French-Canadian woman a tour of the flight deck on the John C. Stennis. I even got to eat with the performers and go backstage after the show 🙂 Awesome experience at a time when I was feeling pretty low.
3) My first experience with karaoke came in New Zealand.
4) I used to perform “Baby Got Back” so much that people actually started requesting it!
5) I helped chase down what we thought were truant sailors while on Shore Patrol in Victoria, Canada. It turned out to be a trio of very nice Canadian guys, who took it all in stride.
6) I completely pissed off one young woman while at journalism school when I did better on an article that I had written drunk and at 2:00 in the morning than she did after spending 6-7 hours on it sober. On the off-off-chance she sees this; sorry, Sara (but it did make me feel great).
7) I have three stories scheduled to be published in 2014.
