Stylish Blogger Awards!!

I was very surprised this evening to receive an E-mail from Larry over at Paint Your Toys informing me that he had chosen me for as one of his nominees of the Stylish Blogger Awards. I was obviously very surprised but also very pleased to see that my random blogging, ranting, half-baked painting and tactics has managed to have an effect worth recognition. Thank you Larry!

Anyway, this was started, I hear, by Tristan who had this to say: 

"The Stylish Blogger Award given from one blogger to another one might say, is like a pat on the back for a good job. It's definitely a viral, zombie-like spread of good will so it's too good to pass up.

The rules;

Thank and link back to the person giving you the award
Share seven things about yourself
Select 10-15 blogs who you think deserve this award
Contact these bloggers and let them know about the award."

So without further ado the opening ceremony (I may have stolen some ideas): 

1 - I took about 6 months of vigorous testing to finally discover my Tyranid paint scheme after having had them all in shambles for over a year.

2 - It still isn't perfect...... even though I've had Tyranids for about 2 years and this scheme for about a year too.

3 - I have watched 'The Simpsons Movie' three times in a row, once normally, once with one commentary then once with another.

4 - I carry around some very odd things most every day to school; namely a first-aid kit, two combs, my toothbrush, toothpaste, two sporks (little and big), several 'doggy bags', a compass, a Rubiks cube, a Swiss-Army Card, a battery-pack with four rechargeable batteries, my iPod cable, two packs of cards, a water bottle, at least three pens/pencils and a glasses cleaning cloth. All on my persons.

5 - I can solve that Rubiks cube in less than a minute and have solved a Sudoku cube too in about 2 hours. 

6 - I have the patience of a rock but the tolerance of a piece of toilet paper.

7 - I have recently taken up Ice-Hockey as a sport when I am the least violent person most people know. And the skinniest. And the most clumsy. And the worst at striking. 

Enough about me, onto my awards:

1 - pointyearedshenanigans - My best friends blog is a gimmie but I do enjoy reading it and his 'Card-bot' Titan is amazing.

2 - Combined Arms - Gredus has always been a great help and source of advise to me especially during the first months of this blog. His Tau tactics are also top-notch and I am always eager to read whatever he has to say.

3 - Tau of War - OK this was also a gimmie. OSH is a favourite in all the blogging community but I really want to thank him for the advice he gave me when I was starting Tau and the time he spent not only answering my questions and reading my blog but also my friend Ko'vash's questions and blog too. Thanks man!

4 - thegamersworkbench - I always like reading this blog and the stuff DieHard does with magnets is magnificent, especially of late. Well Done!

5 - rathstar ramblings - Another blog I always love reading and I am also in awe of his determination and commitment to his blog; how can you be bothered to write a monthly review!!! Well Done!

6 - craftworldlansing - Another blog I love to read, the ideas and information I get from here is endless. Thanks a lot.

7 - 40kaddict.blogspot - A simple blog hiding amazing talent, it always surprises me what pops up here from building plans and directions to Tyranid tactics and models it is all excellent. Well Done!

8 - whitescars-army - Although I am not a biker player I do love this blog and I just love his Quad-bikes. Cheers, it is inspriational!

And that's it. There are countless blogs I read and naming them all would take all night but it's already 22:45 and I have an exam tomorrow. Though I would like to say thank you to everyone who reads my blog, participates in the community and helps in any and every way they can.

So if you'll excuse me, I will retire off to bed.......


P.S. I couldn't find anyone's email so I will just assume all mentioned will see this and be OK with it. If not you can e-mail me at my contact e-mail found about here somewhere.....
