Words of Wisdom (and an award!)

I'll be honest with you guys - last week was a tough one. There are those moments - and I'm sure everyone has them - where you feel that if only I had A then I could accomplish BC or D. So I like this quote because it reminds me that we always have exactly what we need.

In more exciting (and less introspective) news, David has kindly given me my first ever blogger award! Thanks, David. Along with the great honor of this award, comes great responsibility. Mainly to pass it along to six other great bloggers and tell you all ten things about myself.

1. I write with my left hand, throw with my right and apply mascara with both (though, alas, not at the same time. It would such a time saver.)

2. My favorite movie of all time is Blazing Saddles. I find it to be hilarious, brilliant and endlessly quotable.

 

3. Even though I am an excellent swimmer and love the water, I do not go in the ocean. There are sharks in there.

4. I went to a super awesome liberal arts college that doesn't have grades or majors. I learned a lot about theatre production, women's history and creative writing.

5. In the past five years, I have worked at four different animation studios. It's like I'm the Harold Hill of animation production (except for that whole being run out of town for selling imaginary instruments thing)

6. I have a list of 30 things I want to accomplish before I'm 30. I have completed five things and I have a year and a half to go.

7. I don't like tomatoes or mushrooms.

8. But I love potatoes. They are my favorite food group. Mmmmm. Potatoes. 

9. I've never been to a concert before, but I've been to a bunch of musicals. Because I'm a proud theatre nerd.

10. I just learned how to add gifs to this blog so I will now be doing it all the time. I apologize in advance. 

Now I shall bestow this honor on the six following bloggers. Do with it what you will, lovelies:

Shephard's Alley: dear friend and lover of theater
He Who Laughs: my former roommate and favorite gay playwright (occasionally, but rarely NSFW)
The Cuisinerd: beautiful photos, delicious food, fabulous lady

The Zoe-Trope: Brilliant blogger and author of The Swan Kingdom (definitely recommended)
Anna Staniszewski: A fellow SLC alum who writes clever fairy tale books and equally clever posts
Maybe Genius: Smart lady writer with smart ideas.

And in a totally unrelated note - is anyone watching Downton Abbey this season? I am obsessed and just don't know what to think about the whole Lady Sybil/Branson romance that is happening. Anyone else watching?
