Thanks very much to Julie at Manga Maniac Cafe who just passed me the Versatile Blogger Award! I'd never even heard of this award and then I received it twice in two days - wow, guys! I'm honored. Thanks very much!
I just did this yesterday and I haven't found any new blogs in that short time span, so I don't have anyone to pass this one to. :( But I can tell you another seven facts about me...although they may be brief, because I'm tired and I have schoolwork that I'm supposed to be doing.
1. I love roller coasters.
2. I decided last night that I am going to learn German. One of my real-life friends who lived in Germany once upon a time has agreed to help me. My father, who took German in high school, has also agreed to help. I'm very excited. (Fact #2.5: I may be a very good speller in English, but in German, my spelling is pathetic.)
3. My bedroom has green walls and a blue ceiling.
4. I never know how to answer the question "what's your favorite color?" because I really like anything at the blue-green-purple end of the spectrum, and there aren't any colors that I particularly dislike except for certain shades of orange. Not sure why I have this problem with certain shades of orange, but there you go.
5. I adore British accents.
6. The song that is stuck in my head right now is "Love, Save the Empty" by Erin McCarley. It's a really good song. I suggest you listen to it. (The link goes to a YouTube video of the song, but if you like it, please take the time to download it legally.)
7. The most recent movie I saw in theaters was Inception. It was amazing. If you haven't seen it, you absolutely should.

Versatile Blogger Award!
I know, I know, just a couple of hours after I say that I'll be posting less, I post again. BUT it's for a very special, very awesome reason, so I think it's okay.
Alissa at The Grammarian's Reviews passed me the Versatile Blogger Award. Thank you so very much, Alissa! I'm honored.

Seven Things About Me!
1. I am a horrible procrastinator. Right now, for example, I have oodles of summer homework that needs doing but instead I am on the internet.
2. I spend way too much time playing flash games, usually when I'm procrastinating. The most recent one is Achievement Unlocked 2, recommended to me by one of my real-life friends. (Fact #2.5: Yes, I do have real-life friends.)
3. Usually, I only reread books if a) it's one of my favorite books/series ever, b) there's a new one coming out soon and c) I haven't read the others in a long time. The one exception is the Harry Potter series. I have lost track of how many times I have read those books. It's kind of scary how much of a Potter nerd I am.
4. I love to write, and I write all the time. I'm also a bit of a grammar snob. (I know, I know.)
5. I love learning languages. Once school starts back, I'll be taking AP Spanish and I really love the language - but I only took it because my school only offers two languages. I've always wanted to learn German and Italian. I also think it would be cool to learn French and Chinese and just about every other language ever.
6. I love to travel, but the only time I've been out of the country was to Canada once when I was too little to remember it. I plan to study abroad in college and I've considered being a travel writer because it combines getting paid to see awesome new places and writing about said awesome places.
7. I once got into a debate with a boy two years younger than I am about whether or not I'm a nerd. I said I was, he said I wasn't. I won.

Passing Along the Award!
I'm not sure if this is supposed to be new blogs in general or just new-to-me blogs, but here we go with a mix of both (in alphabetical order, because I'm weird like that):
4. Inkcrush
12. YA Addict
I didn't quite get to fifteen. :( If I saw that someone had already gotten this award, I didn't give it to them, but there may be duplicates on here because I couldn't always tell. Also, I'd include The Grammarian's Reviews on here except that she's the one who gave it to me in the first place. :) Definitely check these blogs out!
