My nominations:
All of my readers who are reading this. Seriously, you know who you are. You read and comment regular here and I do the same to you. I’ve nominated you. Congrats!
Seriously, this is too much work for someone who’s been nominated, right?
Number 5 about Cat cracked me up – I wonder how many people are like who??? And Twilight is my favorite time of day too and I hate that the Twilight franchise has taken that word from me. And I don’t want to bungee either. lol
What? Wait, rewind. You know who Cat Marnell is? Have we discussed this before??
Lol, when I reread my twilight answer the first thing that popped into my head was that damn movie. Curses!
LOL, no we haven’t discussed her before but I used to read all her stuff on xojane and was fascinated by her and all the drama that surrounded her. FASCINATED! And I curse that damn movie too.
OMG! I could hug you. I get so excited when anyone knows anything about xo Jane when Cat was there. I hardly read the site now. Have you read her stuff on Vice? Did you see the post I did on her on for A Girl, where she actually commented…like 2 or 3 times, lol?
LOL, yeah the site is not the same. I didn’t know she was on Vice, I’ll have to check it out. And I didn’t see your post either so I’ll go back and find it. You must have been so excited when she commented!
I totally geeked out.
p.s., I once saw her in a subway station. So small and fragile looking in person.
In regards to your blogging experience – I completely agree with you! I had no idea how much encouragement could come from my blog friends. My only problem is that the relationships are online. I wish I lived closer to people for blogger meetups
Me too. It would be awesome to meet everyone and just hang out.
