You may recall a few weeks ago, I mentioned being nominated for Best Humor Blog in the 2009 Weblog Awards. Finalists were supposed to be announced in late December, with voting starting today. Turns out though, it’s not happening at all due to hosting issues or The Dust Bowl or more realistically, socialism.
Initially, I blamed myself. It’s illogical of course, but there’s still this residual guilt from grade school where I lead myself to believe that whichever team I was placed on in gym class lost because of me. Sometimes though, that was probably true because I spent most of the time pretending to tie my shoes or trying to figure out if my teacher was a lesbian and if so, was her girlfriend pretty?
This time, I’m almost certain this had nothing to do with me. You’d think it did, since it took these people months to actually let the losers (me) who were nominated know what’s up, but I’d like to think even I am not that disconnected from my tenuous internet responsibilities.
Regardless, being nominated gave me a total roll-over and I ended up meeting some cool people in the process. So if you voted for me, thank you and if you didn’t, I’m going to refrain from doling out petty threats.
