New Award!

So I received like the coolest award ever from The Twisted Book Junkie over at Broken Day Dreams and A Literary Odyssey. She has a seriously awesome blog that you should definitely check out. And I just love the name of it :) Thanks again!

There are a couple of rules that go along with the Oh My Blog award which are:

1.) Get really excited that you got the coolest award EVER!! (Already done!)
2.) Choose ONE of the following options of accepting the OMB Award:

• Get really drunk and blog for 15 minutes straight, or for as long as you can focus.
• Write about your most embarrassing moment.
• Write a "Soundtrack of your childhood" post.
• Make your next blog a "vlog" (video blog). Basically, you're talking to the camera about whatever.
• Take a picture of yourself first thing in the morning, before you do anything else (hair, make-up, etc.) and post it.

3.) Pass the award on to at least three, but preferably more, awesome bloggers. Don't forget to tell them.

So all of these options kind of scare me, but I'll brave it out and tell you guys about one of my most embarrassing moments.

My first driving lesson:
The day I had my first driving lesson is a day I definitely won't forget. It was on Mother's Day and it was the parking lot of the nearby elementary school. I get into the car and I start laughing, I don't even know why. I was kind of freaked out that the car was moving. My mom was sitting next to acting extremely nervous. I went around the parking lot a couple of times, jerking here, almost going onto the grass once. My mom had her hand on the wheel half the time. And then I don't know what happened. My life flashed before my eyes (not really haha). Somehow as I was turning my foot slipped onto the gas hard instead of the brake. Out comes a huge thud that could literally be heard a mile away. I crash right into the sidewalk sideways. The tire deflates. I'm sitting there. In shock. My mom is traumatized. We frantically call my dad and after a long hour (hourish) we get the tire changed. But! The spare tire is flat too! My dad rushes to the house to get the air pump. As we try to pump the tire we realize the pump is out of charge! In the end, my older brother ends up bringing us another pump. So...when we drove it home there were weird noises. Turns out not only did a pop the tire, but something more serious. It took lots of repairing to do. The rest of my family was in historical laughter when they found out what happened, while I've been scared every since...

I'm going to pass this on to these amazing blogs:
Michelle's Bookshelf
YA Addict
Reading Nook
Reading Is Sexy
Une Parole
Chick Loves Lit 
I Have a Dream
Suenos En La Luna

I want to give a special shout out to Bere at Suenos En La Luna. She has an amazing blog that is definitely one of my favorites. Her posts are so thoughtful and inspiring. If you haven't checked it out, then you are definitely missing out :) And I almost forgot to mention that she's one of the sweetest bloggers out there :D

Oh and I also received the Versatile Blogger Award from Savannah over at Books With Bite.  Thank you so much Savannah. Her blog is also really cool and she has an awesome layout :) I already received this award so I won't be passing it on again.

More Awards!

I got The Versatile Blogger award from quite a few awesome people! Thank you SO much Rae from In the Forest, Danielle from With a Book, Megan from Read It, See It, Keitra from Page by Page, Ash from Books From Bleh to Basically Amazing, Book Sake, Mel from Mel's Book and Info, Three Cheers For Literacy, and Paula at Community Bookstop.

Here are the rules:

1. List 7 random things about yourself

2. Share the award with up to 15 other bloggers

3. Link to each of the recipients and let them know they've won via comments on their blogs

4. Thank and bring the love back to the person you won the award from by linking back to them.

7 things about me:

1. I mainly speak English, but I also speak Arabic.

2. Whenever I start something I become completely and insanely obsessed with it (twitter for example, my new thing haha).

3.I don't like the sound of silence, I almost always have music playing in the background.

4. I'm a foodie! And so is the rest of my family. I love trying new delicious things (even though I'm super picky). Thankfully we all got blessed with fast metabolism.

5. In October of this year, I started homeschooling. It taught me a lot about myself. Although in the end I don't think it is right for me. I probably won't be continuing with it. Although one thing is for sure, without homeschooling I would have never had this blog! 

6. I talk...a lot. I could go on for hours and hours about everything and nothing. I even make up some new words or abbreviations sometime, which surprisingly catches one!

7. I don't like the taste of water. Isn't that crazy? I mean water doesn't really have a taste, I guess I don't prefer it in general. The only times I'll drink it is after the gym.

I would love to pass this on to: these new lovely blogs I found:

The Little Bookworm

The Ninja Librarian
Niki's Book Reviews
Collegiate Bookworm
Bite Me
Book Lovers Review

The Book Eater 

I got the Stylish Blogger Award from the lovely Super at Super Librarian. Thank you so much! To accept the award, I must list five random things about myself and then pass it on to five other bloggers.

Five of my favorite things (since I already listed 7 random things about me):
1. Candy! I love love candy. I always have some hanging around my room. Sour patch kids are my favorite.
2. Getting a new book in the mail, espeically the surprises.
3. Reading before bed, snuggling up under the covers-it's even better when it's raining outside.
4. Pictures. I love everything about them. Taking them, editing them, and making scrapbooks with them.
5. Cooking and baking. I love to whip up new concoctions, like my "magic sandwich" that's pretty famous around town if I say so myself haha ;)
