And That's My New Versatility!

Today is a day of great honors and gushing, ladies and gentlemen. Will Errickson, the man behind the fantastic Too Much Horror Fiction, has bestowed upon me the Versatile Blogger Award. It's a simple recognition made by bloggers to fellow interweb writers to let them know that they're appreciated. I'm all for telling people how great they are so I eagerly jumped at the chance. There are some rules and guidelines that go along with accepting this award:

• Thank the person who gave it to you.
• Share 7 things about yourself.
• Pass the award along to 15 who you have recently discovered and who you think fantastic for whatever reason.
• Contact the blogs you picked and let them know about the award.
  

Sounds pretty fun, right? Even though I already thanked Will in response to him telling me of the award, I'd like to give him a huge public thank you so readers don't think I'm some kind of cad. It means a lot to me, especially coming from a blog that I highly respect and read like it's going out of style. Fans of horror and literature would definitely be missing out if they failed to take a look at Will's awesome spot in the blogosphere.

Well on to the dirty stuff now. Here we go...

1. I'm very comforted by getting and watching physical examinations at doctor's offices. Think that's weird? I have a whole playlist on Youtube of nothing but medical examinations that I watch to soothe me.
2. I think penguins are some of the most adorable animals on the planet. I have a small collection of stuffed penguin toys on my bookshelf and a huge fluffy Mumble (from Happy Feet) that occasionally scares the living crap out of me when I feel like it's looking at me.
3. A few people I know purport to have seen ghosts or experienced some paranormal activity at some point. I find this kind of ironic being a horror fan and not have been contacted by any spirits. But since footage of hauntings and ghostly images make me have to crawl in bed with someone, maybe this is for the best.
4. At times I get so hopped on having people read my work that I fear I could turn into some pretentious megalomaniac. Or a leprechaun.
5. I've always been curious about what human flesh tastes like. Damn those zombie movies.
6. I've only been to one concert my entire life. The Anger Management tour featuring 50 Cent, Lil Jon, and Eminem. Didn't see that coming, did you? I hope to actually see somebody I like one day.
7. I can never talk to enough horror fans. Seriously, I could strike up a conversation with any fright lover. The chance to get into contact with cool, like-minded people is one of the greatest things to come from having a blog.

I think that final note is a proper segue into the next section of the award ceremonies, if you'll allow me. Here are the 15 blogs that I find are exemplary in their work to showcase their love and passion for the genre. Without too much gushing, here they are...
