The Rules:
The Liebster Award is a way to recognize and appreciate fellow bloggers whom you believe deserve some love and attention. This process does come with a few simple rules.

1. Thank the person who nominated you
2. Answer the 11 questions the person asked you
3. Nominate other bloggers
4. Ask your nominees 11 questions of your own (Why 11? Because we like to go one step beyond.)

The Questions:

1. Jello or pudding? Or, neither? Neither, I’m afraid.
2. Do you memorize song lyrics? Oh yes, I do.
3. If you could have any eye color, what would it be? Hair color? I have blue eyes and red hair, but I wish I had dark hair and violet eyes like Elizabeth Taylor. 🙂
4. What do you want to be in life? A better person.
5. Do you celebrate the holidays? Which is your favorite? Yes, and my favorite is Halloween.
6. If you could change one thing in history, what would it be? Do you think it’ll help current situations? Hmmmm….. I don’t think I would mess with that even though I would definitely be tempted.
7. If you could invent a food, what would it be? Candy? Vegetables? Meat? Candy!
8. What’s something you really want to do on your bucket list? I really, really want to visit Cachtice castle. I am weird that way.
9. Who’s your favorite superhero or villain? My favorite villain is Loki. I just love Hiddles.
10. Do you prefer to stay inside or would you rather be outside? I like being outside.
11. Do you think you could make improvements to your blog or do you love it just the way it is? If I could, I would add lasers… muhahahaha! lol Well, I always am making what I think are improvements but then I become dissatisfied and change everything all over again. I like how it is now very much, but you just never know how long that will last.

Thank you again, fluffymao of The Mayfields!
The Questions

1. What Lovecraftian horror would you least like to encounter in a dark alley? As soon as I read the words “Lovecraftian horror,” the movie “Castle Freak” jumped into my mind and….. yeah, that would be scary. lol
2. Have you ever played a tabletop RPG (D&D, Pathfinder, DCC, etc.)? No, but looks interesting.
3. Whether or not you have played a tabletop RPG, what class/race do you normally/would like to play?
4. Milkshake or smoothie?  Details. I’m vegan, so I would go the smoothie route. 😀
5. What do you like best about your blog (layout, story, anything)?  What do you like least? I like my story, although, I don’t always like how a storyline turns out. I like my layout/theme right now. I usually don’t like the theme. lol
6. Who’s been your favorite character to write about or watch in-game? My least favorite character(s) to write were Cricket and Bex. I had this whole plan for them that just kind of didn’t do what I wanted. *sigh*

Thank you again, Whitney Ibe Blog!

1. What made you start blogging? I’ve been writing stories since I was about twelve and it just seemed natural to me to start a blog.
2. If you could visit any country in the world, which would you visit? I would love to go to several different countries, but I think right now, I would love to explore Slovakia.
3. What is your favorite food? I would have to say mashed potatoes.
4. Favorite sport? Baseball. #goTigers!
5. Do you prefer digital or physical books? I’ve been reading more digital books lately, but really prefer physical books.

7. What color are your eyes? Kind of a piercing blue.
8. Recount a brief childhood story. What happened? Well, I wrote Leo doing this, but actually…. it was me. When I was a child, my older sister got this shiny new purple bike. It was beautiful. My dad had been painting something and put the leftover paint outside the back door, intending to dispose of it. I found it and painted my sister’s bike completely white, handle bars, tires, the seat, everything! I feel sorry for my parents (and sister) for what they put up with when I was a kid. haha
9. What type of music do you like to listen to? I listen to all types of music. It just depends on my mood. I love old jazz like Louis Armstrong and Billie Holliday, but I also love U2, Sting, Panic at the Disco, Nirvana, etc.
10. Do you collect anything? If so, what is it? I collect antique art glass by Fenton, Northwood, Jefferson, Imperial and many others. I have several pieces that I’m pretty proud of.

My answers to Vinay’s questions:

2. If you wanted to have a superpower. What would that be? Invisibility
3. If you were given an option to choose between a library and a computer to improve your knowledge, which would it be? I know it would be the computer because that is more convenient, but I would like to think I would opt for the library.
4. If you were to go back in time and correct yourself, would you do it or not and why? This is really a hard question for me because there is something I would like to go back and change but the problem is, that would change a couple other lives, too, which I would not want to do.

8. Do you have a hobby that could become a career? If yes, what is it? My hobby of collecting antique and vintage art glass has become a career in some ways. Well, a few years ago, it was. I would go to auctions and buy glass pieces then sell them on my online glass shop. I no longer do this, though.
9. Who inspires you the most to follow your dreams? My husband and children.
10. Will you choose a villa or an apartment to live in? Villa
