Does the following make me part of the "in crowd"? lol

I've been nominated for a "Liebster Award"....sounds pretty official, hey?  It's an honor just being nominated. At least that's what every actor has said since the beginning of time when they don't walk away with one of those little gold statues.

So here's the scoop. I was nominated by Paulina's Passions  which was pretty awesome of her to do. Maybe I'll get some exposure from it. 

There are a few rules you should follow:

• write 11 random facts about yourself
• answer 11 questions asked by the person who nominated you
• create 11 new questions for your nominees
• nominate 11 bloggers with fewer than 200 followers
• no tag backs
