And the Award goes to....

I received the Dark Sunshine Award from the lovely Nefernefernefer as well as Material Maniac, so thank you both. :)

Rules for the Dark Sunshine Award are the following:

1. Post the award picture with a backlink to the person who nominated you
2. Answer the ten questions posed to you
3. Pass on the award to 10 or more bloggers

Questions

• Favorite color: Black, purple, silver and pink. I also like teal and turquoise, and used to consider forest green as my absolute favourite colour, but it has shifted mostly back to purple. I don't feel comfortable wearing all my favourite colours though, I feel most confident in black.
• Favorite animal: Giraffe! :) I love cats and dwarf hamsters, but I think giraffes are really fascinating and awesome creatures.
• Favorite number: I like odd numbers, and my two favourites are 7 and 5. I think either or both have been referred to as my "lucky numbers" in some horoscopes as well, so maybe I'm not so far off... ;)
• Favorite non-alcoholic drink: Iced cappuccinos! I got totally addicted to Timmy's Iced Cap while i Canada. :D
• Facebook or Twitter: I have accounts on both, but I think I've tweeted only once or twice? I didn't really like Twitter, and the only reason I created an account was because my blog was being found on Twitter for some reason... Never figured out how or why though.
• My passion: Hmm, I don't think I feel that passionately about anything anymore? :/ I love TV shows & movies, and I guess it's safe to say I'm addicted to the Internet, but can you call that a passion?
• Getting or giving presents: I like both. :) Finding that perfect present for someone and seeing how they light up as they open it is fantastic! :)
• Favroite pattern: Stripes, who doesn't love them! :)
• Favorite day of the week: Friday and Saturday, I like both. :) I don't like Mondays, but especially hate Sundays, yuck! 
• Favorite flower: Hmm, I think I have to say gerberas. :) They're big and come in pretty and vibrant colours. :) I like lilies too, and have always had a thing for violets. Roses are pretty, but still not my favourites. :P
