I’ve never thought of myself as particularly lovely (although David does mean “beloved”) but thank you, The Bumble Files, for nominating me. Because you are so awesome, I accept. She was the third person to follow my blog and is my number one commenter. Check out her blog.
Here are rules for the award as I have received them:
1. Thank the person who nominated me. (of course)
2. Share 7 things about myself that you still may not know. (see below)
3. Nominate 15 bloggers. (see below)
4. Notify the nominees that I have done so. (wouldn’t hurt)
5. Put the logo of the award on my blog site. (cool. Why not?)
*************************************
So, here are seven things about me that you probably don’t know. Hmm, let’s see…
- For a period of time in high school, my signature included a tiny Viking ship.
- I once broke my thumb the first time down the ski slope. However, I didn’t want to miss skiing so I skied the whole day with a broken thumb.
- I use Greek letters for my initials (thus, my Gravatar), something which dates back to when I first studied Greek on my own in high school.
- My favorite Korean food is sundaegukbap, a spicy soup of pig organ meat and blood sausage. It is much better than it sounds, although some Koreans don’t even like it.
- I worked for 5 years in my college library as a book doctor, fixing books whose covers were falling off or that were coming apart or whatever. It was an awesome job.
- My favorite book is Lord of the Rings. I’ve read it about 20 times in 3 languages. I could never get tired of reading it.
- I used to blush very easily and even now I still do. I blush more than I’m actually embarrassed, so I feel like my face is betraying me sometimes.

Congrats. A book doctor sounds a interesting job.
I watched the Lord of the Rings although I haven’t read it 20 times. 🙂

I learned lots of interesting things about you! Thanks for sharing. You read the Lord of the Rings 20 times in 3 languages? Mind blowing. I don’t think I want to try that Korean dish though. I’ll have to take your word for it. 😉
