I pretty much win at life, and now you can too!

I WON MY FIRST EVER AWARD FOR THIS BLOG!!

Maybe it's not that big of a deal, but I get excited over the small things in life, like mail...and grapes, but that's a whole different blog post; for a different era. My views on grapes are rather controversial.

I received this award from my fantastical friend, GryphonFledgling(click the link, click it!) and it totally made my day. It also gave me an idea, but I'll get to that later.

The rules of the Versatile Blogger award are:

1. Share 7 things about yourself.
2. Pass the award to 15 bloggers recently discovered.
3. Notify the blogger recipients.
4. Link to the blogger who gave the award.

Here's the deal: I will share 7 things about myself (in a different post).  I will be giving an award to 15 bloggers, but when I give awards I like to go all out. Therefore, I'm changing the rules up. I confess, I don't have 15 newly discovered bloggers to pass an award to. So, I'm starting a segment that will be called..."Blogger of the Week!"

My pinkies are fiercely strong. Fear them.

I'm just kidding. I'm probably going to name it, "Bloggers with Strong Pinkie Fingers."



I will be determining who wins. If you do win, you will receive a pretty badge that I will make myself and an interview here at Reclusive Butterfly. I might even throw in some cheese. Just kidding! You have to earn the cheese.  Be warned, when I give interviews, things tend to get a bit odd.

If you have a blog, post a link in the comments or send me an email (reclusivebutterfly@gmail.com). This is the only time I'm allowing shameless self-advertising, so you better capitalize on it before I change my mind.

The rules are simple:

1. You must update your blog. I'm not asking for consistency. That would be hypocritical, but if you haven't updated your blog relatively recently, you probably won't win.
2. Keep it clean. No R-rated blogs, please and thank you.
3. You're allowed one submission every two weeks.

What I'm looking for:

1. I don't care what you write about. Cheese, motorcycles, and horticulture are a few of limitless possibilities.
2. Intelligent writing is required. You're not perfect and I'm certainly not perfect. I don't expect perfection, but if your blog is splattered with chat-speak, I promise you all my cookies that I will lose my mind.
3. Funny helps. Just a note.
4. Boring doesn't help. You want to know what gets old really quickly? Blogs that are about your boring day. I'm as boring as the next person. My days consist of homework with the occasional jog around the kitchen sink. The most interesting part of my days is when I climb into my sink and yell, "CHEESE IS GOOD" in Danish. So, if nothing happens to you that's worth blogging about, I get it. Really. Please just...don't blog about how when you got out of the car, there was gum on the street and how you...looked at it and then...walked away. You will make me sad.
5. Effort!
6. I love pictures.

I will choose someone to win the award every two to three weeks until I've bestowed 15 bloggers with an award. This segment will replace "Fusion Fridays" because--don't tell anyone, but--Fusion Fridays were my way of being...lazy.  Gasp.

Well, it's time for me to climb into the sink and yell, "OST ER GODT."  While I'm doing that, send me a link to your blog.
