The Liebster Award

 

I was nomiated for a Liebster Award by Jennifer at My Own Green Grass and by Kari at Cupcakes and Bling. So, to keep things simple I'm going to do each one seperately - if that's allowed - to keep it less confusing when it comes to answering questions and such.

I will admit, I have never heard of this Liebster Award before today and I don't really know what it is. But, I will follow the instruction I'm given and continue on.

Rules:

• If you are nominated you must post 11 random facts about yourself.
• You must answer 11 questions that the tagger has asked you.
• Then you must create 11 questions to ask the bloggers that you are nominating.
• The people you nomintae can not have more than 200 followers.
• After you have nominated them you must let them know!
• No tag backs.

11 Random Facts About Cole:

March 1 I wrote five random facts about me for a blog challenge I am doing through fabulousfindsbytiffany.com. However, I will write new exciting ones.

1. I am absolutely terrified of aliens, which I realize is a ridiculous fear.
2. Because of my fear of aliens it has taken me 7 years to get to 1/3 of the way through the book Communion: A True Story by Whitley Strieber. If you read my post on March 11 you might remember that I can't leave a book unfinished. Maybe I will finish this book before I am 40.
3. I have a ton of freckles, and not a single birthmark. My daughter does not have any birthmarks either.
4. I used to smoke before I found out I was pregnant. Since then I have grown a hatred towards smoking and possibly allergies. Cigarettes give me a sinus headache now.
5. I have two pet rats named Lucy and Sissy. I wanted to own 12 rats and build a large, awesome cage for them until I found out I'm pretty much deathly allergic to rats. If I spend more than half an hour in the same room as them I won't be able to breath.
6. My cousin and I caught squirrels with her dads fishing net when we were 5. We brought one to school and left it in her backpack until recess, at which point the teacher caught us feeding it and called her dad. Our classmates thought we were awesome.
7. When I was 15 I took a bus to Niagara Falls from my home town (about a 2 hour drive)  to meet a girl I met off the internet. Luckily she turned out to be who she said she was and not a psycho.
8. I worked in the seafood department of a grocery store for more than a year and have probably killed thousands of lobsters, and gutted hundreds of fish. Looking back, I don't know how I did it. 
9. I have a tattoo of Betty Page on my back.
10. I actually dropped out of school twice. Once before I got pregnant due to anxiety and depression. And then I went back the next semester and shortly afterwards found out I was pregnant.
11. I'm fearing that I've said too much and all of you readers are thinking I'm a freak. Which is probably true.

Well, that was embarrassing! I couldn't just say I own too many Doc Marten boots, or bite my finger nails could I? Apparently not.

Answers to Jennifer's Questions:

There is too much I want to learn. The biggest one though - I want to learn how to be a better writer. That is why I am going to college for Journalism :). I love researching and I love writing, and want to learn how to do it better.
