Congrats on all the awards!
I applaud your musical tastes! Most people's first CD is usually horribly embarrassing! :D
Now I'm going to be singing that song all day! but that's ok because I've always liked it.
i'm always late! i tagged you today!
and thanks for the award =)
congrats! you've been busy!
relax this weekend! put your feet up =)
Congrats on your awards! My YA heroine's BFF is an Emily (Em for short). She's great.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, huh? The tortoises would be pleased. :)
The whole movie thing - when I can't stand one that almost everyone else seems to love - drives me nuts. I'm always like, what am I missing?!
Haha, I love that the princess in your story was eaten by a dragon! Twist ending! Congrats on all the awards!
Wow, girl, that's a lot of awards. Well deserved!
And I could eat pizza every day too while NOT watching The Notebook.
Go get a dog! They're great.
And I like your name too. It was my first pick of names for the daughter i never had.
Congratulations on all the awards!
I didn't care for The Notebook, either. Big thumbs up for Don't Worry Be Happy!
I knew I loved you. The Notebook is so gagworthy.
Ew! ^^^^ laughing at Cass. SO gag worthy ;) Love this blog community :D
Look at you lovely lady. :) So many well deserved awards.
And I think we're virtually the same person. We should get together and eat pizza and listen to No Doubt. I'll let you pet my dog ;)
Mazel Tov on all of the awards. Well deserving!!
You've been hoarding awards! And good for you for selecting your own name.
I've just got to say, the hatred of the Notebook kind of surprises me. You're such a romance lover.
Wow, so many awards. Congrats. I never get tired of pizza either. It's my favorite.
Look at these awards!!
Congrats and well-deserved! Clearly you've been anything but slacking off. I listened to Tragic Kingdom the other day which took me straight back to middle school. Good times.
Thanks for the tag! Excellent questions.
Hope all is well. Have a great weekend :)
Whew! That's quite a haul of awards! Congratulaions. And a good idea to deal with all of them in one swell foop.
Yay for the name Emily. I could eat Pizza every day too.
Have a great weekend. And congrats on all the awards.
Congratulations on your awards :)
I have NEVER watched the Notebook, or read the book. I've been tempted, but something always stopped me. I'm really curious now - will I love it, or will I hate it?
LOLOLOL Time to clean out the cupboard with all those blog chain letters eh?
Congratulations on all the awards, Empress King!
...Now pop that cassette in. I feel a No Doubt sing-along coming on! :)
I know what you mean. The awards can get quite consuming. I have a list of blogs planned when an award comes in and then I have to reshuffle the line-up. But, that's fine. I always enjoy getting them. Plus, they stop me from foisting my regularly scheduled crap on an innocent public.
Holy awards! That's awesome. I loved the Notebook. Some people think I'm really lame because of that. But it just tweaks my heart every time.
Congrats on the awards. You deserve them.
I never tire of pizza either. :) I'm singing along with you to No Doubt.
Have a great weekend.
Congrats on all your awards! I couldn't get into The Notebook either. Thanks for tagging me! :D
Congrats on all your awards. Love your questions, and it's always fun to learn more about my bloggy friends.
Hah! The Notebook is so many shades of blah. I just can't suffer through it. I love that you love your name. I loved TMNT too. Seeing them now makes me long for my childhood.
Congratulations on the awards! :)
Pizza is awesome.
Holy awards, batman! Congrats!
And I LOVE your answer to the name question. :)
Stopping by to wish you both a blessed weekend, Emily.
Fun questions, I'm not sure I'd never get tired of pizza but I could live on it for a long time, too. Just have to tell ya my first story was about a princess and a dragon, too. But it didn't eat her.
Kyra, I didn't have money to buy music until I was older. That probably saved me from having to share an embarrassing cassette.
Tara, thanks for the tag! I have my feet up as I type. : )
Madeline, I let my prejudice against Nicholas Sparks get in the way.
Susan, thanks!
Carrie, "I'm just a girl.." Are you singing?
Erin, I didn't like the book either. Does that help?
Carol, I like the question idea, too. It's nice to loosen up a bit and get down and bloggy. :)
I swear pizza is the food of the gods. Tonight I couldn't stop and ate four pieces. (I must now hang my head in shame). And TMNT rock!
Your answers rocked. No, really, soon as I read the lyrics I was envisioning No Doubt rocking on stage.
And I didn't know what your name meant. Now I do and will probably look for every Emily to be as industrious as you :-)
Congratulations on all your awards - and I'll definitely answer at least some of those questions (along with the other 66 or so I've been asked) :-)
Wow, you've received so many awards... huge congrats:)
Lara, only four pieces? That's not so bad. It's Friday night, cut loose!
Tania, thanks so much!
Emily, I'm so much like you right now, it's not funny. I have a few awards I have yet to acknowledge but have slacked-off with other things getting in the way...like, er, LIFE! I'll probably write up a whole post to thank everyone individually, but we'll see how it goes!
TMNT rock, yay!!! hehe
I did like the Notebook, except (and this probably makes me sound like a cold-hearted biatch, but...) the parts with the couple when they were older. :P I just wanted to get back to the happy parts.
I love that your Princess got eaten by a dragon ;) was that the end of the story or did it go on from there? hehe
Wow, a whole latte awards going on over here ... Congrats to you and your fellow nominees!
Wow, you've been hoarding the awards! Congratulations!
I already knew I wouldn't like The Notebook so I didn't see it. So you're not quite alone!
Congrats on your awards! And love the song.
Riya.
Congratulations on all your awards and also to your nominees!
You are definitely award-worthy. I think Emily is a timeless name. I like the parody of The Notebook they show in the movie theaters to keep you from using your cell.
Trisha, that was the end of the story. The prince was too late to save her. : )
Leslie, you mean the one that reminds people to turn their phones off? Yeah, that's funny!
I have to admit, I totally loved The Notebook. I tried really hard not to, but I do.
