I’m apologizing now, this is going to be quite a lengthy post!
Fun Fact Friday brought to you by the lovely Kyra @ Scribbles and Sprinkles.
My fun fact for you guys is…. I can do a lot of weird things with my toes… They look normal, I promise! But they’re secretly like little monkey feet. I can grip a pen well enough to write with and I can also play the intro to Beethoven’s Fur Elise on the piano with my toes. I’m an oddball.
ANYWAY. I’ve been nominated for a couple awards lately! I’ve been slacking on them, but these are the awards I can remember off the top of my head (sorry if I missed any nominations! I’ve been a bad blogger and not keeping track. Comment if I forgot to link back to anyone and I’ll edit this and include ya!)
First off, I was nominated for the Versatile Blogger Award by Kyra @ Scribbles and Sprinkles, Taryn @ Peace and Pizza, AND Tracey @ Coffee n’ College
This award says to list 7 random facts about myself… so here goes nothin’!
1) I love to draw..
I don’t post about my doodles nearly as much as I should.
2) I have a recent obsession with cheesy K-pop bands… especially 2ne1.
I blame the boyfriend.. he loves them too. Not helping the problem.
3) I get super obsessed with things I like (again, this is the girl who got underwear with Benedict Cumberbatch a.k.a. Sherlock’s face on it for Christmas…)
4) I pretty much never wear jeans/pants. I’m always in leggings or a dress (or both).
5) I think Disney Land is legit the best place in the world (ok, England and Ireland are close seconds in my book..)
6) I’ve lived with the same roommate since Freshman year of college
7) My sister and I are oddly touchy…
It started when were kids and we would always wrestle.
I was also nominated for the Sunshine Award by LesLee @ Her Happy Balance
Questions:
- Who is your favorite philosopher? Not super into philosophy, but I love Aristophane’s myth about lovers trying to find their other halves in Plato’s Symposium.
- What is your favorite number? Number 3. It was always my soccer number.
- What is your favorite animal? Probably dogs. Specifically Shih Tzus or Pugs.
- What are your Facebook and Twitter? If you actually want to know this just message me!
- What is your favorite time of day? Morning when I have a couple hours to just drink coffee and blog. Love my me time in the morning. Or evening when I’m hunkered down with my family or with the boy watching movies or playing video games.
- What is your favorite holiday? Christmas or anyone’s birthdays. I consider birthdays holidays and I freakin’ love celebrating them.
- What is your favorite physical activity? Probably muscle and cardio classes at the gym or the elliptical.
- What is your favorite non-alcoholic drink? I pretty much always stick with just water, but I do LOVE my coffee. Or almond milk.
- What is your favorite flower? I have no idea…roses? Shite, I’d be happy if you gave me a dandelion.
- What is your passion? Just one? Food/Fitness/Communicating with people. How’s that for one?

Somebody say ALLITERATION?
Hahaha. Okay that was random.
hahaha
Wow–you’re quite the artist. My talent in that area is zilch. And we are the complete opposite in how we dress. I live in jeans or yoga pants. That’s it, except for the rare occasion that I have to get dressed up. Thanks for the nomination! Happy Friday!
Thanks! & Haha I just think leggings are so comfy!!
thanks for the nomination lady! I have to say, my sister and I always used to wrestle, now we just do those huge hugs. nothing better than a sister. and boy can you draw! I used to draw in high school and i miss it, it was such a big part of my life
No problemo. & hahaha we totally still wrestle. Sister love! We stopped wrestling with my brother though because he’s just too big and could probably accidentally beat the crap out of us.
You should buy a sketchbook and just leave it out on your coffee table or kitchen table! that always forces me to draw when I haven’t in a long time. It’s definitely very soothing too.
Awwww hey love! Thanks for these!! Makes my day
you are too sweet! Your artwork is amazing so you should show it way more! And that toe thing is awesome! I wish my toes could do that but they’re lame
No problem
. Thanks! I really do need to post about it more. And hahahaa for some reason I find it so unbelievably funny what I can do with my toes. I think I’m the person who is the most amused by it! lol
You’re quite the artist and the toes thing is cool. Ever try drawing with your toes? That’d be neat to see! (the artwork I mean, not the process)
haha thanks. I’ve tried to draw, but the best I can manage with my toes is a lopsided sort of anime face. It mostly just looks like a blog though and I start laughing too hard in the process and mess myself up.
I think people would like to see this foot crafted artwork
My passions are the same as yours! Have a great weekend
Love it
You too!!
Woohoo! Thanks for the nominations girl! I’m intrigued by your toe thing.. and you totally should post more drawing! Have a good weekend!
No problem! and hahaha it’s quite the weird quirk.
Aww thanks!!! xoxo
no problem
I’m with you on mornings– my absolute favorite time of day is the calm early morning with my coffee and blogs before the chaos of the day starts
yessss. I’ve been looking at other people’s answers and I think this is a common favorite amongst the blogosphere
thanks so much girl! wow your an awesome artist!!! I also died when you said I’d be happy if you gave me a dandelion! its sooo true! thought that counts right?!
! mornings are def the best! and you and your sister are absolutely adorable !!
Thanks girl! and hahahaha totes the thought that counts!
Love this post, and thanks so much Jessie! Haha that’s so funny that you can write with your toes!!
No problem Sunnie! and hahaha yeah, it’s pretty weird
whoa you’re a talented drawer!!
I’m the saaame about jeans/pants. I probably own 2 pairs of jeans, that’s it. They’re just not comfortable!!
Thanks girl. & Same!! I literally have an entire drawer filled with leggings and tights and there’s like two crumpled pairs of jeans in the corner haha
ummmm okay someone got MAD skillzzzz!!
Thanks for the nomination my dear.
haha thanks! & no problem
Love the rope drawing, crazy dimension and detail!
thanks! That one was REALLY fun to draw
I’ve been obsessing over k-pop for the past 2 years ….heheh I think its a great music to listen to ^^
thank god i’m not alone! My friends (besides my bf) look at me like I’m insane when I play it haha. Why is it so catchy??
I think the melody is making you want to dance and sing-a-long although you don’t understand what they’re saying
Jessie, thank you so much for your nomination! It means a ton! My favorite holidays are Christmas and anyone’s birthday too! I love the planning that goes into making a birthday one to remember!
Aw your welcome
! And totally, it’s just so personal and such a good excuse to celebrate someone you appreciate.
You’re a great artist! I used to be a graphic designer & always wished I could sketch well… I sucked. LOL I have monkey feet too, but mine look freakish since I have super long toes… my husband calls them toe hands. LOL I’m very self-conscious of them.
Thanks for the nomination!
HAHA toe hands, omg, I’m dying. That is too funny. & thanks! I’ve always loved sketching and doodling
You are so good at drawing!!! Wow!! Love the baby pics!
3 is my favourite number too! Kinda random, but there you go!
Thanks love! And haha idk why 3, but it’s just always been my favorite.
Thank you so much for the nomination!
Dogs are def my favorite animal, too!
no problemo
I love the old family photos; so adorable. And you can play the piano with your toes…now that’s impressive. You got skillz!
The morning is my favorite time of day for pretty much the same reasons.
haha thanks
