The Happy 101 Award!

Check it out!!! I received the "Happy 101 Award" from my blogger friend Jill over at ~Life After College~! Thanks! Jill is a friend I found on 20 Something Bloggers, and I highly recommend her blog! Everyone should check it out!


Here's the award rules:
List 10 things that make you happy, try to do at least one of them today, and tag 10 bloggers that brighten your day. For those 10 bloggers who get the award, you must then link back to my blog! :)

10 things that make me happy (in no particular order):

1. Books (You know I had to start with the obvious!). I love that you can escape to anywhere in them... Pemberly, Alagaƫsia, Hogwarts, etc. How could anyone not love it???

2. Cats. They're awesome for cuddling :o) And you can't help but feel incredibly loved, because they always want to nap with you, and get excited and cuddly when you get home from being gone for the day.

3. England. British movie, TV, composers, actors, accents, slang, landscapes, and the list goes on! I'd give my life savings to live there.

4. RPG Video Games. I love games like Zelda, The Godfather, Fable II and Fallout III. More of that escaping to a unique world :o)

5. Plants. I love having live plants. I've got a plant in one corner of my room, and basil growing on my desk. Green is a wonderful color!

6. Film scores. I love them! Composers can do some magic with film scores... A movie without a score is nothing. The score sets the tone for the whole thing. I love laying down and popping my headphones in and just tuning everything out except the music :o)

7. School. I may complain a righteous amount, but I can't imagine life without it. I thrive on the stress of it all! Life gets too dull and idle far too fast.

8. Basil. What a fantastic herb! I put it on everything!

9. Mini Coopers. I smile every time I see one :o)

10. And last, but of course not least, blogging! It's my outlet :o)

Now I know I'm supposed to list 10 bloggers, but I tend to be an incredibly picky blog reader. I only frequently read a few blogs. So, here are 8 bloggers that I love to read because they always put a smile on my face! :

Jaime at Revenge of the Book Nerds!
Kate at The Neverending Shelf
Kirsten at The Soccer Mom Files
Sara at The Breathing Post
Amy at My Overstuffed Bookshelf
Anna at Life Just Keeps Getting Weirder
Dori at From A Yellow House In England
Julia at A Piece of My Mind

This made me laugh :D

In spain, there is a "geek habit" with this number... It's quite stupid, but when you listen to it lots of times, it makes you laugh...

When someone says five (cinco in spanish) sometimes other person says (in informal situations, of course) "por el culo te la hinco" (which means, literally, do it up the arse).

In geek circles, this "rhyme" is made with the 101 too, because 101 is 5 in natural binary... (i needed to explain the joke :D)

Aww thanks for passing this award on to me!

I would give anything to live in England. I am 31 and my goal is to visit before I turn 40. I am going to Kansas and Atlanta in 2010, New York City in 2011, and I am thinking Europe in 2013. My present to myself for graduating :)

A great list! I will post mine, hopefully, this week. My PC has to stay on safe mode until I finish my class and then I have to repair it. After it's repaired!

Thanks so much for passing this award along to me :-) And I hope that my tales of living in England entertain you a bit. Have a great weekend!
