Now go spread the love!
Congratulations!! And well earned, say I! 😀
Thank you so much! It means a lot! 😀
😀
Well done Rebekah, if you will allow I won’t get to fully repay this award by fulfilling every term, but I will certainly keep following your progress and give you a mention. I will give Nerd Kulture a follow too. Thank you too for “loving” my blog 😉
No worries! Thank you for both of those things, and you do have a great blog! 😀
ha, ha I’m blushing 😉 thanks!
Impression of Rebekah: “I don’t have that many interesting facts about myself. Fact one: my ancestors wrote the Welsh National anthem.
………….wait, what?!
Thank you for the nomination! We are racking these things up, aren’t we? haha
Hahahaha! That is very true I have to say, well a lot of people may find that boring I suppose….will they? And no worries for the nomination, I had to nominate you for both because I just love your blog! Going to need a metaphorical trophy cabinet for all these (2) awards ;). hahaha
Also, you have missed out the third question to ask people. This has confused me for the last half an hour 😉
‘3)Did you notice I left out a question?’
Nah not really, I have updated it now to the first thing that popped into my head, which is quite an uninteresting question of ‘Indiana Jones or Jaws?’ 😀
Congratulations and thank you very much!
I won’t be doing a post on this as I have done a few similar ones recently but know that I certainly do appreciate this 😀
Berlin is a fantastic place – I love it there!
Thank you! and no worries, just a chance to tell you that I like your blog! I love Berlin, everything is just so interesting there.
Knew your blog was good for a reason! Marvel is my prefer nerd medium, Tarantino is amazing (you should check out the comic version of Django), and Chicago is my hometown!
Thank you! Marvel is way better, I wrote an article about Marvel vs DC! I will definitely check out this Django comic, I have never heard of it before, who makes it? This is amazing, I love Chicago! (the place, definitely not the movie)
Image is doing the Django book…it is Tarantino’s full script. There will be elements that didn’t make it to the movie.
I am going to research now! I am so excited now, thank you!
No worries! Let me know what you think about it.
Will do! Thank you for telling me about this! My two favorite things, Tarantino and Comics.
Look forward to hearing what you think!
I am working on my post. It may be a few days still, but I am working on it. Thank you again!
No worries, you deserve it! I look forward to the post.
