The Book Smugglers nominated me for a Kreativ Blogger award. Thanks!

I’m going to do what I usually do with memes: “Nice Jessica” will participate, but my alter ego “Bitchica” will refuse to pass it on. Lest anyone think I am stingy with the compliments, though, check out my recent post, Bouquets and Blogbats, which is just the first installment of a regular feature.

Here are the rules:

1. Mention the blog that gave it to you.

2. Comment on their blog to let them know you have posted the award.

3. Share 6 values that are important to you.

4. Share 6 things you do not support.

5. Share the love with six other wonderful blogging friends.

Six values that are important to me:

1. Rational discourse
2. Freedom of expression
3. Curiosity
4. Trust
5. Empathy
6. Films directed by Clint Eastwood or starring Sean Penn

Six things I do not support:

1. Rants
2. “Niceness” motivated by dishonesty, fear, or indifference
3. Closedmindedness
4. Hubris
5. Tweezing
6. Any movie with Keira Knightly (except she was ok in The Phantom Menace)

Happy Monday!
