Coming Out of the Dark
So it's the eve of the Best of Blog announcements. Bloggers everywhere are snuggled in their beds while visions of top ten nominations dance in their heads.
And the Best of Blog Awards aren't the only star on the horizon. Oh no. As soon as the BOB nominations are revealed, the Bloggies will be hot on their heels. Picture the Golden Globes being quickly followed by the Oscars of the blogging set; awkward presenter banter sold separately.
I wasn't going to blog about the Bloggies out of fear of overkill, but then I got an email this weekend that changed my mind. I was told by this kind soul that they had nominated me for a few different Bloggies. Imagine my surprise. Me. Never really nominated for anything has been nominated in two, count 'em, two different award ceremonies!
So tell me, what have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
The only time I even came close to something even remotely like this was when I almost made the cut for Class Shyest in high school. But I never understood an award like that, even back then. If the person who won really was the shyest, would you really know of them? Would you call their name or walk on by?
Anyway, this secret someone wishes to remain anonymous and no, it isn't my mom. But since this individual was kind enough to nominate me, I am linking to the awards here. Making it to the finals in the Bloggies is like dreaming the impossible dream considering it goes by popular vote. But if you want to throw a dog a bone, you'll know where to go. Any nominations you make for anyone have to be in though before 10pm Eastern Standard Time tomorrow.
And while I'm on the topic of revealing, let me also remind you that this week officially marks the kickoff of De-Lurking Day started by Sheryl over at Paper Napkin. God knows I'm not a lurker, but if this applies to you, don't be shy, this is the week to stand up and say Hi, my name is ________ and I'm a blogaholic, too.
