Graphic Novelty 2 has been chosen to receive the Versatile Blog Award by Kalie who writes the blog 1000inadecade in which she chronicles her effort to read 1,000 works in a decade and who also writes the dreadfully awesome Just Dread-full horror blog. Thank you Kalie! Take the time to check out both her blogs for they are filled with great insight and humor.
Since there are two of us who write for this blog, we decided to write a post together. Kalie couldn’t pick just one of us so she is getting two for the price of one today!
Rules:
- Display the award
- Thank person who gave you this award
- Share 7 facts about yourself
- Nominate up to 10 other blogs
Nancy: I have a lot of sisters. My Dad wanted a boy badly, and tried five times for one. No luck.
Kathleen: Going off that, I have two sisters. I am the oldest =P
Nancy: I have curly hair and love it. I do not understand why so many woman with curly hair straighten theirs. Curls rock!
Kathleen: Even though I’m a diehard DC fan, I have a soft spot for the Spiderman Animated Series from the ’90s.
Nancy: The order in which I like the Star Trek Captains are: Picard, Kirk, with Janeway and Sisko as a tie. I do not like to speak of Archer.
Kathleen: My favorite artistic media to work in is watercolor.
Nancy: I met my husband when we were 16 and we started dating at 17. Been together ever since.
Kathleen: When I’m not reading graphic novels, I read fantasy novels. I’ve been on a steampunk kick lately for some reason XD
Nancy: I have my undergraduate degree in elementary education and a minor in anthropology. I wish I had been braver and pursued anthropology as my major and gone on digs. I can be much too practical at times.
Kathleen: Before I wanted to be a librarian, I wanted to be a writer! I used to write a ton but what little free time I have, I use to work on my art. Occasionally I think about story ideas I have still kicking around in my head.
Nancy: I want to travel more. I have been to Mexico and Canada with my parents, so although my husband and I (and our kids) have vacationed all over the states, we have not traveled outside the US.
Kathleen: My boyfriend and I have been to five concerts together, which is more than I’d been to in my whole life before we started dating XD
Nancy: My husband and I are the proud parents of a beautiful daughter and two handsome sons. They are growing up way too fast. How can the days be long, but the years so short?
Kathleen: I cannot wait for autumn to come back. It’s my favorite season.

This was such a fun post! Kathleen, I’ve never felt closer to you than when you mentioned the Spider-Man animated series. I LOVED that show. I may or may not still have a bunch of toys from the show happily living at my parents’ house (shhh…don’t remind them – I’ll move them out eventually). Nancy, I’m with you on the curly hair thing too. My hair – when it’s long at least – has always been curly. People ask why I’ve never straightened it and my answer is also because it’s awesome.
Congratulations on your award!!! You both know this has always, always been one of my favorite blogs. I love your work and I had fun learning random facts about both of you. Yay!

One of my clearest childhood memories is jumping around the living room screaming “GO SPIDEY GO” X,D I need to rewatch it sometime but am afraid the nostalgia will have worn off DX Thanks so much! Both me and Nancy appreciate all your comments

Nancy, I came so close to majoring in Anthropology, but have a minor now as well! However, I chose English Lit as my major, which is probably just as much of a gamble as Anthropology. I was always most interested in cultural anthropology. I envisioned myself living in distant cultures. Instead, I just read books, but that’s nice too.

Normally I’m fine that I made Anthropology my minor instead of major, but I recently was at Augustana College and looking through their geology museum, and I was feeling nostalgic for my college years and paths not taken after I saw literature on trips that college students could take.

Your reviews are always excellent! In fact, I reread your Star Trek Beyond review because I recently saw it this weekend, and I had many of the same thoughts you did about it.
