Day 10 NaBloPoMo - Birthday Sing along

I am of to a birthday party tonight. For real, in person and everything! I have know this intelligent young man for the last ten years. I have watched him grow, and yes it makes me feel ancient because yesterday he became a man, he turned 18. So today we celebrate.

Not only is he intelligent and talented he has been a very mature God Father to my youngest munchkin for the better part of five years. Check out his website Liam Dargan or the you tube clip below and sit there in awe, as I have for most of the time I have known him!



He is destined for greatness, of this I have no doubt (as is his brother - talented family what can I say), he even teaches this old dog a trick or two every now and then ;-) Like who Mumford & Sons are!!

So, sing along Saturday is dedicated to Liam. Happy 18th, go be great!



Finally the last Wonderful Team Member Readership Award shout out goes to Lo at Lo Johnston Writing. She is full of useful hints, tips and reviews and is just an all round lovely person, so go check out her blog!

Happy Birthday to Me

In my rush to gush over last nights adventures I have completely forgotten to wish my self a Happy Birthday!! So here is an extra dose of me to celebrate :-)


One year ago today I took the biggest personal leap ever that started an amazing year of discovery, you can relive that post here. I have met some fabulous people, made some great friends, discovered some ace films and better bands but above all else I have put myself out there and people haven't run screaming for the trees! Not only that, I am slowly starting to consider myself a writer instead of random rambler.

At the time of writing I have posted 122 times, gained 18 followers on google blogger and clocked up an amazing 2572 page views. For this I cannot thank my readers enough, I only keep posting because you keep reading!

I guess now would be an ideal moment to attend to the award that Loki at The Modfather nominated me for. She is a very talented and funny writer who is just starting out on her blogging journey, take a look!!

 
 
The Rules (always with the rules, Bah)

1. The Nominee of the Wonderful Team Member Readership Award will display the logo on his/her post/page and/or sidebar. Check

2. Over a period of 7 days (1 week), the Nominee shall nominate a number of readers that he or she appreciates – this can be done at any rate during the week. It can be all on one day or a few on one day and a few on another day, as most convenient to the Nominee. Not sure how I will do this yet so stay tuned ;-)

3. The Nominee shall name his or her Wonderful Team Member Readership Award nominees on a post or on posts during the 7 day (1 week) period. As above stay tuned!


Here are the people I nominate for this award:


Deb at Kicking Corners

Tangled Lou at Periphery

a.eye at Shouldn't Life Be More Than This?

Michelle at Buttered Toast Rocks

Tara at Faith in Ambiguity

Masked Mum

Lo at Lo Johnston Writing

Apparently all nominees have to answer the following questions, so here are my answers:

1) Why do you blog?

I started blogging to put my writing out there and see what people thought. Now it is more about self discovery and addiction!!


2) If you were trapped on a desert island, what book, DVD, food, cartoon character, and childhood game would you bring?

Arrggghhhh too hard!! Ok book; Paulo Cohelo Brida (just addicted to it). DVD; Dirty Dancing is my all time favourite film (I once watched it every day, sometimes twice, during my six week summer holiday). Food; Chocolate, don't think I could live without it. Cartoon character; I am so torn but I think Road Runner is one that I have always loved, although Mickey Mouse and his Mouska Tools would come in handy! Childhood game; would love to say Cluedo (because apparently I am really good at it, although am usually the murderer) but who would I play with?? So I think it would have to be Hungry Hippos too Loki, did you ever play it solo and see which hand would win...right v left.

3) Share a funny joke or one-liner (:-O it appears I missed this question when I posted initially)

What is big and green and sits in a corner all day long?
........The Incredible Sulk



4) What is your favourite thing about yourself?

My ability to Love easily and go back and Love those that have hurt me.


5) What one word best describes you?

Young (at heart)


6) If you could have a lifetime supply of any candy/candy bar, what would it be?

Pint pot jelly sweets.....mmmmmm




7) What fictional character do you relate to most?

Brida, for reasons best not explored!!


8) If you were to write the story of your life, what would you call it?

'She came, she danced, she slept' because “Give me music, I will dance!” is taken!

I think I will do a Loki and shout out to each of you for the next seven days and then it is over to you:-)

Tata for now, and thank you!!
