Leibster Award

"You've been Liebstered", the comment read. Though it took me a few seconds to register, knowing a little bit of German, I realized that this was a good thing. Not to mention that she who nominated me for this very pink honor, was none other than Tome of the Ancient, one of my favoritest of favorite reads. Thank you so, so much Tome! :D

On the down side, having been mostly away from WoW for several weeks now (I am suffering angst due to a very anticlimactic 67 wipes on Garrosh Hellscream without a kill, followed by personal drama in several guildies' real lives, leading to the crumbling of our raid schedule on the final boss in end content), I had not updated my blog, so I missed the nomination! :(

Luckily, the internet is very forgiving, and now that I've seen said nomination, I will respond with all the grandeur and pomp one can muster for such a wonderful accreditation!

There. Now then, isn't that LOVELY?! It will also hold a place of distinction from here on, at right, in my sidebar. Thank you Tome, thank you ladies and gentlemen, thank you. No autographs please. (I've always wanted to say that!)

Ok, so, what does all this mean, anyway? Well, "[..] if you have been nominated for The Liebster Award AND YOU CHOOSE TO ACCEPT IT, write a blog post about the Liebster award in which you:

1. Thank the person who nominated you, and post a link to their blog on your blog.
2. Display the award on your blog — by including it in your post and/or displaying it using a “widget” or a “gadget”. (Note that the best way to do this is to save the image to your own computer and then upload it to your blog post.)
3. Answer 11 questions about yourself, which will be provided to you by the person who nominated you.
4. Provide 11 random facts about yourself.
5. Nominate 5 – 11 blogs that you feel deserve the award, who have less than 1000 followers. (Note that you can always ask the blog owner this since not all blogs display a widget that lets the readers know this information!)
6. Create a new list of questions for the blogger to answer.
7. List these rules in your post (You can copy and paste from here.)
8. Once you have written and published it, you then have to: Inform the people/blogs that you nominated that they have been nominated for the Liebster award and provide a link for them to your post so that they can learn about it (they might not have ever heard of it!)

[Edit: I keep scrolling down my page and find this entry to be much too long with nothing graphic to break it up. I am therefore splitting this entry into various segments, and spacing their publishing out by exactly 1 minute. Thank you all for your understanding.]
