An Award!

Monty from All Good Things has nominated me for The Irresistibly Sweet Blog Award! How nice is that?! Here is a link to Monty's fabulous blog: All Good Things.

These are the rules of the award:

1) Thank and link to the person who nominated you.
2) Share 7 random facts about yourself.
3) Pass the award to 12 of your blogging buddies.
4) Notify the recipients.

Here are 7 random facts about me:

1. I love animals! Elephants, cats, dogs, monkeys, dolphins, red pandas, you name it, I probably love it.

2. I feel bad when I kill spiders, so I tend to put them in a little box and release them back outside. I also will name the spider. Past spider names have been Victario and Lady Lavender. Why I do this, I'm not quite sure, I'm just weird.

3. I love haunted houses! In fact, I'm already getting excited for October to come so that I can go to one! The scarier the better!

4. I have my Bachelor's degree in Finance and a minor in Digital Cinema. Kind of a strange combination, but I have many interests and I like both working with numbers and being creative.

5. I love to draw! I took an animation course as part of my Digital Cinema minor. Below is a video of the animated cat I made. Winston!!! I also made a short claymation for my final, it's about two aliens, Bigsley and Brain, who meet each other for the first time.

6. I am awful at riding a bike, but I am able to rollerblade, wakeboard, and ski quite well. How this is possible is beyond me. I haven't ridden a bike since I was about 10 years old, after I accidently ran over and knocked down a family while I was trying to control my bike.

7. I love to play word games, especially Scrabble and Words With Friends.
