HOLY FUCK! I GOT 4 AWESOME AWARDS!

Last year in August, my dearest blog buddy Michele ("The Girl Who Loves Horror") gave me the LIEBSTER BLOG Award ("Liebster Blog" = German for 'Dearest Blog'), a chain-letter-like award. Once you receive it, you have to pass it on to other bloggers.

Now, almost a year later, the LIEBSTER BLOG Award is still around, but it has changed into an upgraded version - I call it LIEBSTER BLOG AWARD 2.0 - with rules and questions, a bit similar to the 7x7 Award.

You may ask: "So, what's this all about?"
Well, lucky me has received
FOUR(!!!) LIEBSTER BLOG 2.0 AWARDS!!! FUCKIN' AMAZING!!!
