An award from Lucille LeSeur

The wonderfully brilliant and beautiful Lucille LeSeur, who writes one of my absolute favorite blogs, Lady in the Radiator, has very thoughtfully given me a choice between two different awards: the Beautiful Blogger Award or The Preppy Mafia Award. But I’m going to change the rules a bit. I’m combining the two honors into one and am renaming it The Lucille Leseur Award, because I adore her and also because I think it sounds quite distinguished and prestigious.

So, I must answer these four questions:

1)My favorite party theme: We don’t have party themes in Colorado. We just gather on someone’s back porch (preferably one with a fire pit) and drink a whole lot of beer. At least, those were the kind of parties I went to :)

2)Go to Halloween costume: It doesn’t really matter what your costume is here, because you are going to have to put on your winter coat anyway. It never fails, every Halloween is rainy and/or snowy. Under my bulky winter coat, though, I was often Marie Antoinette.

3)My greatest fear is losing my mother. I really don’t know what I would do without her.

4)Traits I deplore in myself: my inability to trust, my awkwardness, my shyness, etc…

And now I must give 6 random facts about myself:

1)I was born on Autumn Equinox.

2) I sobbed at my desk every single day in Kindergarten and I didn’t know how to make friends, so my teacher had to assign friends to me, which was an assignment that nobody wanted :( Oh well.

3) My favorite Goonie was Stef.

4) When I was growing up, my dream was to be a ferris wheel operator in a travelling carnival.

5) In junior high, I used to write a comic strip about snails called “The Adventures of Bob and Paul.” It was a big hit :)

6)I love reading etiquette books from the 1920’s-1960’s.

Let’s see, the award I choose to hand out will be the Beautiful Blogger Award. I’ll give it to these nine people:

Les jeune fille a les oiseaux, who writes Freebird Flyaway. You are beautiful, amazing and my favorite Birdie in the sky.

Jessie, who writes Synecdoche. You are so very intelligent and insightful and your writing is truly profound and moving. You are an amazing, amazing person.

Elk, who writes We Like Nests. I LOVE your artwork and your writing is incredibly thought-provoking. Your blog is an absolute gem.

Wildflower who used to write Being A Wildflower. You are wonderful wonderful wonderful. In addition, you are wonderful.

Angie, who writes Here and Now. You give me so much hope and support. I can’t thank you enough and I’m glad that people like you exist.

Sarah, who writes My Multi-Coloured Life, The Monster Beneath and Just A Single Sentence. You are so honest, open and inspirational. You are truly a gift.

Andy, who writes Breaking Through. You are incredibly strong, brave and smart and you have so very much to offer this world. You are a bright and beautiful spirit. Don’t give up.

Petal, who writes Don’t Let Her Eat Cake. I know you’ve already received this award, but I think you are quite possibly the loveliest person on the planet, so I’m giving it to you again.

Vicki, who writes So It Goes a Bit Like This. I admire your strength so much and I think you have such a great sense of humor. I hope you are okay and I hope you keep fighting.

I could go on and on and on. I want to include every single one of you because I love all of your blogs!!! Very much so.

So there you have it. You don’t have to do any work or answer any questions (unless you want to, of course!). I just wanted you to know that I think you are beautiful people and beautiful writers and I sincerely love your words.

Lots of love <3

P.S. I can't get my links to work, so I took them out :( Sorry!
