First thing's first: Thank you, K.V. Briar! (Now is the part where you follow her if you haven't already. You know, not to be bossy or anything.) Also, an apology to her: I'm sorry I took so long to get this posted. Back to school stuff and excuses and all that.
I've already made a Liebster post, but since the award's meant to highlight up-and-coming blogs, I figured it'd be okay if I posted again and shared five more blogs. (Does that make me a cheater? Not sure. Anyway, I come from a very competitive family, where boardgames are cutthroat and the occasional display of cheating happens -- you especially have to watch my 12-year-old sister. Let's just say there's a reason we don't play Monopoly much.)
Here's a quick glimpse of the rules:
"The goal of the award is to spotlight up and coming bloggers who currently have less than 200 followers. The rules of the award are:
1. Thank the giver and link back to the blogger who gave it to you.
2. Reveal your top 5 picks and let them know by leaving a comment on their blog.
3. Copy and paste the award on your blog.
4. Have faith that your followers will spread the love to other bloggers.
5. And most of all - have bloggity-blog fun!"
Aaaand here we go (remember, no sales pitches -- it's for your own good):
AderuMoro's Too Many Ambitions
Eat...Sleep...Write
Keep on Writing, Keep on Dreaming
Live to Write...Edit when Necessary
Thoughts of a Shieldmaiden
Okay then, I'm off to alert these blogs like a responsible blogger.
For the record, if you laughed/scoffed at me for that last sentence, no worries -- my feelings won't be crushed.
First off, here's a huge thanks to Jenna Cooper! If you haven't already, go follow her blog.
Here's all the Liebster stuff:

Got that? Good. Let's go.
Here are the five blogs I'm passing it on to:
The Story Queen
Ink-Splattered
Hello, World
Amaranthine Forever
Scribbles and Ink Stains
Granted, I think I was technically supposed to write up a short line about each blog, and I honestly tried. But I make a horrible salespitch, and they all sounded forced and robotic, so...I know there aren't descriptions, but don't take it out on them! Go visit and comment and follow, agreed?
First off, I want to thank Jenna Cooper for the Irresistably Sweet Blog Award! You should go check out her blog if you haven't already. Like, right now. I'd wanted to write this post over the weekend, but my Internet went mysteriously out. Anyway, it's mysteriously back on again, which brings you this post.

Here are The Official Rules:
1) Thank the person who gave you the award and link back to their blog. Which you should do anyway, really.
2) Include seven random tidbits about you in your blog post.
3) Link to 15 other blogs.
4) Let those 15 other bloggers know that you've awarded them. So you can keep the chain going, you know?
Okay, so here are seven completely random things about me you didn't know, and probably never wanted to, either:
1) I switch favorite songs all the time, but I always love 80's music. Currently, my favorite song is "People Are Strange" by The Doors.
2) I'm somewhat addicted to the show "Angry Beavers". It aired when I was little, in the 90's, but thanks to Netflix, I have instant access. (When, you know, my Internet is working.)
3) I'm insanely jealous that I didn't come up with the X-Men. Especially "X-Men: The Animated Series" -- again, a 90's cartoon. (I'm able to watch this one with the help of YouTube. Bless you, people who make videos of old cartoons that don't air anymore and post them.)
4) I'm going into the eleventh grade. (Thank goodness for summer.)
5) My favorite poet is definitely Edgar Allan Poe. My favorite poem? "Alone," by said favorite poet.
6) I'm incredibly clumsy. (Scarily clumsy, I guess I should say.)
7) For my birthday in April, I got a Sheltie puppy. I named him Dax -- which means he gets called Daxter, Daximus, and for some reason, Daxy -- and he's also incredibly clumsy. We make quite a pair.
Okay. With that out of the way, I can link to some helpful blogs out there. You might already know some of them, but that's okay. In no particular order --
So there it is. I really need to let those blogs know -- but that's probably something for tomorrow.
