Liebster Award!

Hi everyone!

Today's post is a little bit different!!  I've been nominated for a Liebster Award, I'm very excited.  This is the first award I've ever gotten or been nominated for.  I was nominated by this adorable girl who is very sweet and you should definitely check her blog out!






In order to accept the award, there are certain rules:


1. Each person tagged must post 11 things about themselves
2. They must answer the 11 questions the 'tagger' has set for them
3. They must create 11 more questions to ask bloggers they have decided to tag
4. They must then choose 11 bloggers with less than 200 followers and tag them in their post
5. These lucky bloggers must then be told
6. There's no tag backs


So let's get started!

11 Things About Me

1. I will be starting college in just 15 days, specifically at Portland State University.  I'm very excited because it's my freshman year and I'm rooming with my best friend!

2. At Portland State I will be majoring in Chinese language, which is something I absolutely love.  I took two years in high school and I just never got enough of it, now I get to take it every day, Monday through Friday, and I couldn't be happier.

3. If it wasn't too much of a course load, I would be double majoring in Chinese and Russian, because I have always wanted to learn Russian.  But unfortunately I don't trust myself with that much work.  I admire people who can handle that sort of load.

4. I have two tattoos, Chanse and Fate on my wrists.  They're in memory of two guys who were like brothers to me, they protected me through a lot of bad stuff in my childhood.  And unfortunately they have passed on, so I got their names on me in tribute to the great care they took of me.

5. I really want a lot more tattoos, and I plan to get at least one more this year!

6. My hair used to be "dip dyed" purple, on the tips.  I loved it and when it faded out I just never got around to re doing it, but I am thinking about doing it soon!

7. I have a little Chihuahua named Jo Jo, he is blind in one eye and he is adorable.  He's a rescue dog and he's seriously the best dog in the world.  

8. I have a fish named Tom Milsom, after the youtube personality.  I love him.  And I used to have a fish named Nerimon named after Tom's friend, also a youtube personality.  When Tom Milsom dies I will get a new fish named Charlie, after their other friend and youtube personality.

9. I swear on my life that borrowers live in my house and run through the vents, I know it makes me sound crazy but I swear to God it's true.

10. I drive a Buick 1996 Regal Gran Sport, it's a hilariously grandpa car, but I love him.  I call him Trooper.

11. I love to bake, it's very therapeutic for me!  I made Butterfinger cupcakes for my best friend's birthday and they were delicious, and one of my favorite things to bake is Cheesecake Brownies.  It's an incredibly simple recipe if anyone wants it let me know!
