My First Liebster Blog Award

     Well, I don't really know what to say about this other then "thank you" to Natalie over at The Swing Mood for picking me as one of her eleven people to tag who she thought deserved the award. I find it incredibly marvelous of her.
     This being my first time at bat with one of these things, I'll just start off by giving the rules once you receive this beauty: The first one is that I've got to tell eleven things all about me (which I'm figuring are eleven NEW things you didn't know), the second is that I've got to answer the eleven questions that the person who picked me asked . . . I've seen what Natalie asked and all I've got to say about that is . . . Oh, goody! The third rule is that I've got to tag eleven other people . . . and the fourth (and final) rule is that I've got to ask them eleven questions. Sounds fun, right? I think so, so let's get started, shall we?

11 Things You Didn't Know About Moi!

11. I know how to play the flute.

10. I'm very OCD about things such as the fact that all my films have to be in alphabetical order by title, my music alphabetical order by the artists FIRST name, and my books are arranged by their height.

9. I've taught myself to write with my left hand, though it's not nearly as good as my right hand, and though I'm right handed, I eat with my left hand.

8. I have two kittens that are named Kit (as in the candy bar, Kit Kat, my sister named her), and Missy, whom I named after Barbara Stanwyck.

7. My lucky/favorite number is seven.

6. I'm obsessed with anything Italian.

5. I want to be a U.S. History teacher. I did want to be a medical examiner, but that was before I found out how much I stink at chemistry last year when I was a junior.

4. I have bright strawberry blonde hair and dark blues eyes. Some days my hair looks really blonde, and then others it's really red, when it's wet, it's red with blonde highlights basically.

3. I write entirely in cursive which people have a hard time reading not because I have horrible handwriting, but because, as they put it, "it's too neat, too pretty, and too loopy".

2. I know how to speak a little of both French and Spanish, though I can read the language better than I speak it; and I'm teaching my self how to read and speak in Italian.

1. I'm extremely sarcastic. No joke.
