I Got Tagged!

So Jen Ryland tagged me, and now I have to answer 10 questions. Err, I actually tagged myself, but anyway...

So here are my answers to her nosy questions! ;)

Most favorite/least favorite household chore?
Um, I don't do household chores... But from what I've tried before? Sweeping the floor. Gah, I hate sweeping the floor so much. I seriously can't understand how it can accumulate dust that fast!

Makeup/beauty item you can't live without?
Ditto to this. I don't do makeup. Though I guess I can't live without powder. I love baby powder. :) 

Go-to karaoke song?
Nah, not really, unless you want all the glass to shatter. I can't sing to save my life! :P I'll just stick to listening to music, thank you very much.

Morning person or night person?
Night person, definitely! In the morning, I'm cranky as hell. Though at night, I get all hyper. Yup, I'm definitely a night owl!

Favorite thing to eat at a movie theater?
Popcorn's not really my thing. Just give me a Coke (regular, Diet and Zero taste like crap), and I'm one happy camper!

If you won a free trip anywhere in the world, where would you go?
Aaah, I can't pick! But I definitely wanna go to Europe. Maybe visit the Eiffel Tower, then the Buckingham Palace. :D Or maybe go to New York during the BEA. Oooh, and I wanna go to Egypt as well- I wanna see a pyramid!

E-reader or paper books?
Paper books all the way! While e-readers are portable, nothing can replace holding a real book. Plus, I love looking at the pretty books on my bookshelves! :)

Which TV/reality show would you love to make an appearance on?
Oh- now that's scary. I'm a shy person, so I'm not gonna do well on a TV show... Maybe if there was a reality show that's book-related, then that I might. 

Favorite Olympic event (summer or winter) to watch?
Not a sports fan. Nuh-uh. The only sporty thing I do is on my Wii! :P

Do you have any weird phobias or superstitions?
Not really. Though hyperactive kids scare me. *shudders*

So yeah, that's it. Now you're probably thinking that I'm weird. ;) It's okay, I know I am. Oh, and I don't really wanna bother anyone by tagging them- I know you guys are busy. BUT if you're bored or have some extra time, let me know if you wanna play along! And yes, I'm copying Jen's idea. :)

The Versatile Blogger Award!

Oooh, I got my second award! Thanks so much to Jen Ryland for thinking of me! So, now I have to reveal seven random facts about me, and then proceed to nominate seven other bloggers!

So first off, here are nominations:

Okay, so I'm not even sure if I can nominate the one who gave to me, but if someone else had given me the award, she'd still be my first nomination. Not only do we have the same name (and it gets pretty funny talking to someone who shares the same name with you), but she's one of the friendliest people around. And her blog is awesome. She not technically a book blogger, but she talks about some pretty awesome books, and her posts are always fun to read!

2. Rachel @ Fiktshun/ Fiktshun's Ramblings/ My Reading Pile/ oh my gosh, I've lost count!
Talk about a versatile blogger! Rachel has been my oldest stalkee (since I'm the stalker, do I call her my stalkee?), and she was the one who inspired me to start blogging. But not only does she manage the epic blog Fiktshun, she has around six, seven more blogs! No kidding. She rambles in Fiktshun's Ramblings, adds books to your TBR pile in My Reading Pile, talk about blogging issues in Blogger's Central, the SSRC in Soul Screamer's Reading Challenge... It's endless.

Nausicaa just started her blog this month, but she's proving to be an awesome blogger! You wouldn't know that she's new at this thing from the way her blog looks! I'm a silent stalker at her blog, and even though she's new at this, she's got everything down, from cover reveals to challenges and memes!

I love this self-proclaimed "bitter bookblogger"'s blog. She actually cracks me up with her rants, so I really enjoy reading them. Though they're actually really insightful, and it's nice to read ideas that are stated so bluntly. Patricia not only reviews books, but she talks about issues which she's so passionate about.

You guys should stalk Bailey's blog- she posts new content, every single day! She has tons of reviews, memes, cover reveals, and her own features. And she's really kind and helpful too! :D Seriously, you guys have no idea how much time I've saved because she helped me out.

So I cheated. I only named five, (four, if not counting Jen), but I'm not so good at this thing. Other blogs I know are award-free. Oh, and if your blog is award-free but I included you, then I'm sorry. :D I did my best to check out if you said so, but I might have missed it.

Now here's seven random facts about me:
1. My grandma's the reason behind my love for books.
2. The novel that got me hooked into reading was a Nancy Drew mystery- The Clue of the Broken Locket.
3. I love minty stuff- ice cream, candies, chocolates- you name it!
4. Me and my friend are currently fighting over Tod from Soul Screamers. (It's so fun! ;) We even include him in random conversatiosn. It's a phase we're going through...)
5. I love wearing fuzzy socks with individual toes!
6. I enjoy watching action and suspense movies, and funny cartoon movies. But NOT romance movies. Weird taste, huh? ;)
7. Before getting addicted to YA, I first started reading children's adventure novels, then jumped to adult books. Yes, I'm talking about Sidney Sheldon, Mary Higgins Clark, etc. Then I went to YA. Talk about plain wrong.

That's it! :D And once again, thanks so much Jen for the award!
