Today Jo, whose life in Syracuse I am supremely jealous of and who I desperately want to visit next year, gave me an award for my blog! Pretty cool. So here are the rules:
The rules: List seven things that make me awe-summm and then pass the award on to seven other people who I think are fabulously awe-summm.
(I have to say that the spelling irks me just a bit, because I have issues with purposeful misspellings... but I'll let it slide!)
1. I know some Latin and some Ancient Greek, more than your average person but less than your average classics student. However, I am bilingual French/English and went to school in French from the age of 4 until the end of high school.
2. Despite my hatred for journalism, I'm actually a decent journalist. I've done a documentary, two mini-docs, a current affairs piece and several tv news pieces. I've produced an entire tv news show and anchored a radio show. I've written dozens of articles. I worked for a newspaper for two years and have been paid pretty decently to freelance.
3. I have taken two 24 hour vows of silence, for an organization called Journalists for Human Rights who work with the media in third world countries. Vows of silence are really awesome, I'd suggest them to anyone.
4. I make amazing scones. I'm pretty ordinary at baking everything else, but I rock at scones.
5. I am writing a book right now, one of at least three that I will write in my life. I love writing, it's the only thing that I have always know that I wanted to do.
6. I kick ass at being a student, and will hopefully graduate with Distinction, as long as I actually graduate (stupid Canadian History).
7. I am extremely proud to be a Canadian, but I loved living in Ireland and can't wait to live in England soon!
And I'm going to award.... Fae, Lisa and Chris!

WAHOO!! My First Blog Award!
So, 7 Things That Make Me Awesome
1 - I turn 25 in a couple of weeks and own nothing. No Car, No House, Nothing of Value.
2 - I do however have a cat. A black cat, Binx. Who is wicked and I love her.
3 - I can rap and know all the words for Baby Got Back.
4 - It is in between year 6 and 7 of my undergrad and I still don't have a degree.
5 - I write a blog that has a regular readership, of 7, 3 of whom are related to me.
6 - I am a film makers dream, I am a pawn to the emotions they want me to feel.
7 - I don't throw up when I'm drunk.
Yup, I'm pretty much awesome!
Thanks Heather!!
Indeed, you are very awesome.

I found you via Lisa's blog!
Scones are one of my best baking tricks too...
Wow, impressive, Hezabelle! But for me this: "I have taken two 24 hour vows of silence" absolutely rocks! Pourquoi tu n'écris pas en francais? J'adore cette langue, je voudrais etre francaise ou canadienne comme toi, c'est formidable de pouvoir parler 2 langues sans aucun problème!
Oh, and Mary Evelyn, thanks for tagging me! : )
