The mind boggles, it really does.I can't believe I'm up to a 100* followers already. WOOOOOT! *does happy dance*
Hooray for you lovely followers who..um...follow my blog. And especially to everyone who comments--comments are the best part of blogging. In October, I started really getting into the YA blogosphere--posting frequently and discovering new blogs, and I'm so glad that I did. All the YA book bloggers are so nice and welcoming--it's a great community. And above all, it's wonderful to connect with people who have the same ravenous, obsessive love of books. So thank you everyone!
It's only fair that I hold a 100 followers contest in celebration. It should be coming this way in a little bit, once I decide what's going to be up for grab.**
Annnnnnnnnnd, to cement this happy day, I also have gotten two awards in the last week or so. Here it goes:

List ten honest things about yourself and then pass this onto ten other bloggers.10 honest things:
1. There is nothing that I pine for more than beautiful fall leaves and torrents of rain.
2. I am a horror when I first wake up in the morning. Totally and completely zombified. I crash my way down the stairs and shuffle around dazedly. I can't even open my eyes at first, and what little I can say comes out as a sort of incoherent bear-growl. I tend to hit things in the morning as well--parents and siblings beware! Coffee is my salvation. Otherwise, it takes me about four hours to wake up on my own naturally.
4. Aside from the font-thing, I'm the most disorganized, messy person you'll ever meet. You should be glad you don't have to see my room. It's not pretty. And I lose everything, probably because of this. Also, I'm an extremely forgetful person. Scary forgetful.****
5. I procrastinate on everything. Let's talk about this later, hmm?
6. I'm deathly afraid of bugs and spiders. If I see one, I go all jelloid inside and I have to make someone else kill it for me.
7. I have no idea what I want to do with my life. And I really don't know what to say when people ask me where I'm applying for college or what major I want or what job I want or any of that stuff. I just don't know.
8. Unless you count my alternate life's ambition, in which I buy a crumbling castle, relocate to Europe and own a gigantic library, of course. *****
9. I want nothing more than to travel. Europe especially--Britain and Ireland and France and Germany and Italy and Greece and Denmark and Spain and EVERYWHERE.
10. I have the worst sweet tooth imaginable. Chocolate? Ice cream? Cookies? Cake? Pastries? Candy?
Just don't leave alone with a platterful of dessert in front of me. Just don't.

You know what's weird? Today is the first I have ever heard of "Black Friday". And I didn't know that "Boxing Day" wasn't celebrated in the US. Seriously, did I grow up in the black hole of the universe?
...Oh right...I did. ~grins~
Even though I celebrated Thanksgiving more than a month ago...HAPPY THANKSGIVING to all you Americans out there. ~smiles~
That being said, CONGRATS ON 100 FOLLOWERS! Exciting, isn't it?
And I really enjoyed reading your 10 Honest Things. I'm with you on number 2...excpet I don't drink coffee, so it just takes me 4 hours to wake up. ~laughs~
Congrats on reaching 100 followers! And I hope you had a great Thanksgiving :)
This calls for a huge turkey!! :)
*Applause*
Congrats on 100 followers!
I love your #1. I also adore beautiful fallen leaves and torrential rain storms. I grew up in Louisiana, which is, oddl, just the place for both of those things! :-)
Congrats on reaching 100 followers. And happy Thanksgiving!
I've tipped the scale being your 101th follower. Cool blog.
Thank you so much for the award. :)
And congrats with 100 followers. Yeah.
Thanks so much for the award! I hope you had a great Thanksgiving and aren't as tired as I am. I just got back from fighting the masses at the stores to save a few bucks!
Congrats on 100 and thanks for the award!
100 followers, WOW! Thanks for the award! Awards just make my day. #9 and #10 are my favorite, and I can totally relate to it :D Chocolate forever!

Congrats on 100 followers and the awards! Yay!
Congrats on the 100 followers! It feels awesome doesn't it?! :D
I'm with you on the beautiful fall leaves... I love them, I really do. But then nature is cruel and I have to fill up 17 plastic bags to clean up my front lawn @___@... I think I prefer the rain actually, lol. You look like a zombie? I look like a caveman when I wake up! (with an attitude to match-I hate morning people!)
hmmm, chocolate-based books... so if I don't like what I'm reading, I can just chomp off the page! I like that idea! xD
Ack! I forgot to thank you for the award! *still thinking of chocolate books.... mmmm.*
Thank you :)
Thanks so much for the award and I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Congrats on 100 followers and the awards, and happy thanksgiving too!! Lol, I can definitely relate to most of your 10 honest things. You haven't seen dirty if you haven't seen my room, and I couldn't LIVE without sugar. That newspaper OCD sounds helpful sometimes. :)

@everyone: Thanks for commenting! I really luuuuurve comments :)
I hope you had a great Thanksgiving! I was seated near the strawberries and pastries (I'm not sure whose big idea that was) so I didn't even get up for seconds because I couldn't keep my hands off of the sweets in front of me. So yeah, I completely understand your weakness for anything sweet.
And thanks for the award, my friend!! :)
Congrats on all the followers! I am sure you will get many more soon enough!
