Awards!?

Well it's just been crazy for award receiving of late, so I saved them all up for one epic post!

First up is an award from the lovely eolist petite - an award that I actually received last year that somehow bypassed the grey matter (sorry) - And in keeping with the rules of Awards, I shall in turn pass this on to Kato over at Pandoras Box whose blogging enthusiasm is infectious, with entries that are openly written and a treat to read!

Next up is the extremely macho Award fro the talented Indigo, The sweet friends Award...

To complete this award I have to name 10 things that make me happy. I'm not going to included friends, family and loved ones as they go without saying - you guys rock!

In no particular order:

1. Cheese - especially a strong Chedder

2. Computer games - an addict since I was old enough to hold a controller

3. Graphic novels - I love the escapism, the mythology and the artwork (the super powers are cool too)

4. D&D - The joining of like minded yet eclectic bunch of people, that always leave me smiling

5. Photography - allows me capture what my eye misses

6. My Triumph - it feels great to be out in the open, whilst traveling at speed and in style

7. Chili's - I'm a complete mug for spicy food

8. Ale - the best part of being a bitter drinker is tasting the local brew where ever you roam

9. Comedic sitcoms - My current favorite is, The Big Bang Theory

10. Swords - I'm a boy, swords make me happy

And I shall passing this Award on to Darren, who painstakingly records our D&D adventures on his blog: Geeks, Heroes and Monsters and has been a great friend for many years

And the question I am adding is:
