ver·sa·tile
[vur-suh-tl or, especially Brit., -tahyl] Show IPA
adjective
1.
capable of or adapted for turning easily from one to anotherof various tasks, fields of endeavor, etc.: a versatile writer.
Well one things for sure, I am good at adapting and switching in between tasks ^_^ To me this is a real honor and i'm proud to claim it and add it to my list of awards. It means so much to me that the community cares and how we all stick together. This is why part of the rules say I have to pass it on to not 5, not 10, but 15 different bloggers that I recently discovered or follow regularly. Piece of Cake.
Here are the instructions that go with the award:
- Thank the person who gave you this award and link back to their blog.
- Next, select 15 blogs/bloggers that you’ve recently discovered or follow regularly
- Nominate those 15 bloggers for the Versatile Blogger Award
- Finally, tell the person who nominated you 7 things about yourself.
Ok, here goes nothing!
As I said before, thanks a bunch Jamie for this magnanimous award :) It truly means a lot to me :)
First off, i'd love to add Jamie to this list but he gave it to me so I don't know if I can give it back or not but if I could, i'd definitely add Jamie :D I do check Jamie's blog on a daily basis and I can never get enough of his posts. He's 13 followers away from 300 so please go support him and follow his blog at http://www.mithrilwisdom.com/.

7 things about me.... Hmm...
- I don't have a middle name. My name is hebrew for He will judge.
- As to what people may think; no I am not German. I might have blond hair and blue eyes but that doesn't mean i'm German.
- I was born in Mission Viejo, California. I lived there till I was 4 then moved out to the East Coast. I hope to move back in the future.
- I have always had a strong connection to the ocean and water. Being born on the west coast, let alone living in Laguna Beach, California which was on the beach was too much. My dad would take me surfing in the early mornings on his board and I would spend countless hours in the water. I still feel this same connection where I feel the water is an extension of me. I'm no olympic swimmer who was that connection, I just feel so in-sync with the water. I get so relaxed.
- As a child, I was a card collector as were most kids. Throughout my years, I have collected a good 2,000+ Yu-Gi-Oh Cards and 3,000+ Pokemon Cards. 75% of the cards are exclusive cards so they are pretty rare XD
- If I could be anything in the world, I would be a wolf. I have always dreampt of being a wolf. I feel like it is an extension of me, as if, a supernatural part of me. I know it's odd but I have always felt like I could just turn into a wolf on thought. No, I don't want to be Jacob from Twilight but I have always felt connected to wolves. I have actually imagined myself as the wolf above.
- I love nature. Why does it have to be so peaceful? It's as if when you enter the presence of a really nice garden or a large plain of grass that goes on forever, you just feel at peace. I love nature soooooo much. If only I could live in something like the Shire from Lord of The Rings....
As for you who got the award, I await reading facts about you :) I hope this finds all of you well.
Enjoy the rest of your week!

Woot! Thanks for the award. I'll add your name and link to my awards page. If you want to read my seven things, you can find them Here.
ReplyDeleteIt was fun to read your 7 things. Have you read the Wolves of Mercy Falls series (Shiver, Linger, Forever) by Maggie Stiefvater? You might relate to the way some of the characters crave the time that they are wolves.
And I totally want to live in the Shire too!
Wow nice 7 things :) I never knew the award used to look like that :) I might check out the Wolves of Mercy Falls series because it seems really cool :)
DeleteThanks for dropping by! :D
Thank you so much! Your name is Hebrew - that is really cool.
ReplyDeleteYup :) thanks for stopping by Alex :D
DeleteI'd be a wolf too. And that is not from any liking of werewolves!
ReplyDeleteLol nice :D
DeleteHi Yadin and thank you for this award! I enjoyed learning more about you, and I also learned that I had not yet followed your blog. My error, as I always like to follow people who leave frequent comments on my posts. So now remedied, I am your newest follower!
ReplyDeleteYour welcome Karen :) Thanks for following :D
DeleteHi there! Thanks for the award! I have always loved wolves-they are so beautiful and majestic. I am sorry I did not respond to your first comment on my blog about having a look at your manuscript. I have some difficulties going on right now but if you'll email me at duchessmalfi@hotmail.com, I'll be happy to discuss it with you and help in any way I can!
ReplyDeleteNo worries and yea i'd love for you to take a look :)I'll shoot you an email this weekend. We can discuss it and I can send it whenever is best for you.
DeleteThanks for stopping by!
Thanks for the shoutout, Yadin :)
ReplyDeleteAhh I remember the days of Yu-Gi-Oh. Luckily, I've grown up since then ... and moved onto Magic the Gathering ... :)
No prob :) Yea I haven't played Yu-Gi-Oh in years. I looked in to Magic the Gathering but never got started :P I play many many MMORPG's so you should give those a try sometime :)
DeleteI don't have a middle name either. My parents said it's something people rarely use, so they didn't want to waste their time thinking one up. AND, my father's last name means wolf in Basque.
ReplyDeleteWow that's cool! We should start a non-middle-name club :P
DeleteThanks for the comment :)
Congratulations on your award, and thank you for passing it on to me! My name is quite Irish, though my maiden name was German. I will try to post about my award on Monday!

Yadin! Thank you so much for the award! I loved reading about you. I love wolves and the ocean too. So you wish you were a hobbit, eh? Their life looks pretty sweet!
ReplyDeleteYour quite welcome Ali :) Yup the hobbit life is pretty sweet :D
DeleteCheers!
lol... I'd love to live in the Shire too. I'm a nature girl thru and thru... a tree-hugger techie I like to say. And wolves are just awesome, tho I'd prolly be a tiger if I had to pick. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the award! And always nice to learn more about you.
Trees for the win! :D Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment :)
DeleteCheers!
Congrats on the award! I'm a water girl, too. I spent the first few years of my childhood in Sweden, and learned to swim in the frigid lakes of Sweden. When we moved to the US when I was 9, and from then on, we spent practically every weekend on the Chesapeake Bay near Annapolis, MD. I learned to sail, canoe, kayak, and there's no better place to sleep than on a boat, with that gentle rocking putting me to sleep.

DeleteCongratulations on the award and thank you for mine. We defintitely share an affinity for water. I've lived by the sea nearly my whole life and sailed during my teenage years. There's nothing I love more than the sea.

DeleteCheers!
