What a lovely way to wake up on a chilly January morning. Today I was presented with the Versatile Blogger Award by the lovely Miss Laura whose blog The Everyday Life of a Young American Girl in France keeps me entertained with her adventures and observations of life in France as a foreigner.
So the rule is to share 7 things about yourself, "fun facts" if you will. So here they are...while these certainly don't define me, they will give you an idea of what level of crazy you're dealing with over here...
7. I'm a 90's pop culture junkie. For example, the Beverly Hills 90210 Soundtrack is one of my favorite albums and not in that hipster "I'm so ironic" way. I listen to it, like for real.
6. I tried to be all bad ass and planned a trip hopping trains and hitchhiking from Olympia, Washington to San Francisco with a guy with blue hair. I wimped out and took the Greyhound down instead and listened to Tori Amos on my discman for the entire ride. So not bad ass...
5. I spent two years of my life as an
4. In L.A, I once knocked on my neighbor's door drunk at 2:00 am and asked if I could sleep on his couch. He let me.
3. I have three tattoos. Two I love and one I fucking hate - and no, it's not a butterfly.
2. I like prank calling ex-boyfriends. Unfortunately, I can't do this to the French ones...my accent would give it away.
1. I'm French by injection. If only my "hardwork" could get me my carte de séjour. With the 2012 elections coming up, who knows what changes will be in sight for La France...
Hey, I never said I wasn't ridiculous...
Now, I must share this award with another blogger whom I feel encompasses versatility. For me, this was a no-brainer and Mary-Kay at Out and About in Paris was the first to come to mind. MK (as I like to call her) is one of my favorite ex-pat bloggers who has taught me more about my adopted city with her facts, photos and discoveries than I have on my own in almost three years in The City of Light.
Thank you Mary-Kay for your incredible blog and Laura for honoring me with this award!
