My very first Blog award! (and the procrastination that followed)

So NearlyWes nominated me for the Liebster award. Thank you Wes, you wonderful human being. Also, his blog tops the list of blogs that I follow religiously (because he’s so darn funny). So I guess you have to follow him, ‘cos laughter makes you live longer and you know you want to stay alive at least until they discover them Space bunnies. Right?
