The Liebster Award (Thanks a Lot to mikemarket)

What is the Liebster Award?

I’ve recently been selected by mikemarket as a candidate for the Liebster Award. If you, like me, have never heard of this award before, it basically goes like this: a blogger receives a nomination for the award by another blogger that has also received a nomination for the award before. The first blogger asks the second one ten questions that he makes up, just as a fun thing to get to know them better. Anyone that receives the Liebster Award then nominates 5 other people to get the award, and makes up ten questions for those other people to answer. You can probably see how this can compound pretty quickly, just like money invested in the stock market can multiply and compound to truly extraordinary levels. (As a stock market blogger, I have to include something about stocks, right?)
