My, you're looking lovely today. My name is Erika and I can think of few things I love more than baking and books. Cozy sweaters, bear hugs, Earl Grey tea and rainy days. I love nostalgia and hope your today is full of joy and wonder.

my first ever award... ever!

Soundtrack: Happily Ever After by He Is We (where can I download this song?!)
Words: Bah, same as yesterday. I have exams, I swear!

Today is a bright and shiny day. Know what else is bright and shiny? Oh yes, awards :)

I just got my first ever award, from Caitlin over at Caitlin Darrell: A (Sort-of) Life. She is very nice and very awesome and I'd like to thank her for being so supportive in her comments and award-giving (because that is obviously a verb).


There is is, in all of it's snazzy, green, FIRST EVER AWARD glory. It makes me so happy--so happy I must continue to use these annoying smileys :) :) :) Glad I have that out of my system.

Like any organized society, this award comes with responsibility (psh) and RULES:

1. Thank and link back to the person who gave you this award.
2. Share 7 things about yourself.
3. Pass the award along to 15 bloggers who you have recently discovered and who you think are fantastic for whatever reason! (In no particular order...)
4. Contact the bloggers you've picked and let them know about the award.

So, as if any of you actually wanted to here more about me, Seven Things About Moi:
  1. I love bread. I know it might not be the healthiest thing to love but my mom and I are constantly buying shmancy breads, slathering them in butter and pigging out, ha ha.
  2. There's a drum set sitting in my bathroom. I've always wanted to play the drums and this one was at a garage sale, so we bought it. My mom's house is tiny, though, so we put it in the wheelchair accessible shower part of the bathroom. It will soon be moving to the garage, though, for some serious head banging.
  3. I have one older brother who is basically the bee's knees.
  4. I love out of date expressions like "the bees knees" and "don't raz my berries, man."
  5. I wish I was a dancer. I often randomly break out into dance in my room. And singing, but honestly, no one wants to hear that.
  6. Dr. Who = love. No questions asked. Sci-fi, totally random plots, cute Doctor, British accents, what more could you ask for? Speaking of which, it's on in about five minutes...
  7. I LOVE science. I know I'm a major nerd but science always makes me smile--learning new concepts and suddenly having things click. I don't think I could ever be a scientist, though. Too boring.
Awards for everyone! Or, at least, the following fifteen people:
  1. Kristy at This Train of Thought has Been Derailed
  2. Hannah Moskowitz at Invincible Summer
  3. Akina-Hana at Burning Wisdom from the Uniform of Autumn
  4. Kara at Moomurs
  5. B. Light at Writing by Night Light
  6. Everyone over at Writer Unboxed
  7. Roni at Fiction Groupie
I know that it's only seven rather than fifteen, but I honestly don't have the time to properly follow blogs! That, and I seriously suck at finding good blogs. Another pathetic thing to add to my list about me, perhaps?

If you can suggest an awesome blog then please leave it in the comments! Thanks again, Caitlin!

Love,
Erika
