so i was pretty much ignoring them, after last year’s wheaton debacle, but i can’t overlook them entirely, considering that some of my friends have expressed the desire to be nominated. and being nominated is cool, last year i remeber being all aflutter over surreally’s nomination (and if you look at the awards page, scroll way down to see where me-fi won, you’ll notice that my little but-kissy entry addressed to potential bloggie voters was the featured quote. sigh)
i’m working up a list of worthy nominees, and gathering up all of my many and varied email addys so that i can vote early *and* often.
may the best blogs-not-by-a-former-member-of-the-TNG-crew win.
Me ME MEEEEEEEEEE!
Oh wait. This is where I’m supposed to be all supportive of others and stuff, right?
well, no, it’s ok to be wanting to be nominated, but you have to tell me a category.
Since I am turning into the Love Boat of the Blogosphere (tonight starring wKen, Statia, Sekimori, and special guest star, kd, as the Mysterious Stranger) for all my butt-kissing, link-filled minion/monkey/Christmas posts, I’m going to have to come up with a category for every blog I’ve ever seen. Hmmmm. Da Goddess = Best Underappreciated Conspiracy Theorist (Female)?
This sounds like I’m gonna need help making up categories, though…. anyone up for it?
(Solonor = Best At Usurping Another Blogger’s Comments for Stupid Crap)
Wil Wheaton sucks goat dick.
Well, there’s a category even for him, then.
there need to be more categories. or maybe just different ones.
one of these days i’m going to randomly start making up award categories and awarding awards.
like the blorgis. remember the blorgies? those rocked. and i’m not just saying that because i won one.
Ooh, I didn’t start until March, so I wasn’t around for that. But having just read it, that’s EXACTLY what I’m talking about!
Hey, Solonor, how about separate categories for celebrity/non-celebrity bloggers? That would solve the ballot-box stuffing for Wheaton, I’d think.
Just make sure you all vote me for Best GLBT Weblog, because I would love nothing more than to exploit the hell out of the bloggies. Seriously, I have ribbon-cutting ceremonies at Waffle Houses just waiting for me and my sash.
You know, one of these days I’m going to have to visit Wil Wheaton. So he cleaned up last time. Why is everyone so pissed about it? What did he do to get everyone so mad? Tell me nuh?
Oh, BTW, I’m visiting via “Name That Blog” this time…
Well I figure it’s probably useless for me to even TRY to get nominated…….hehehe after all who wants a little blue faierie boy running all around the bloggies!
(oh that is http://www.zanderkind.surreally.org and the category would be best personal blog, or best gay/lesbian/alternative lifestyle blog)
OOoops, there was the plug! LOL me so bad
Can someone explain why there’s all this hubbub about last year’s awards…because I wasn’t around last year! I want to know! I’m so totally out of the loop.
Oh, and vote clothespins for the revolution for best kept secret or whatever that category is.
He who shall not be named doesn’t really have readers–well, he does, but he mostly has FANS. Legions of them, who will vote, over and over. No one else stands a chance. I’m nominating the hell out of all of my friends for this thing, but I’m wondering if anything will be done about the Wheaton situation, because it does make the whole “being nominated by and voted for by your peers” kind of a moot point.
Nothing will cause me to run screaming from a blog than to see wil createn linked. Boring and really bad design. If I have to hear about him crying one more time I will toss my cookies!
Ahhh, I see! He has an unfair advantage. Yes, people tend to have problems with that… Last night, I went to this forum thng by whaddat.com, and some people had posted something about the Ms World competition. Its like they couldn’t understand how come our girl didn’t make it into the top 5. The point has been raised that allowing people to vote for the contestant of their choice may well make the competition unfair, because places with a large population will have an unfair advantage over places with small populations. Its true there, and its true in the case of Wil. Something should be done about both things. Maybe we should all write the bloggies people and suggest that celebrity types need to have their own category, celebrity weblogs… Let them duke it out among themselves, leaving the rest of us to our own, normal categories. No more skewing… What do you all think?
Well, Mad Bull, see my comment above.
Now if I were king, I’d appoint kd to run these things…
Ah, yes, kd. A “celebrity” category would be good. (and a simple alternative). There’s not that many of them that I can think of, and their fans can all just battle it out anyway.
the “bloggies people” is just one guy, and it’s his show. i do wish he’d come up with a “celebrity” category and a requirement that celeb blogs (there are a lot of them now) not be considered against the rest of us.
I love Solonor. He so gets me! Will you have my babies, honey?
I’ve nominated the hell out of a couple of things (including WAM, which I’m coming to adore if for no other reason — and there are many — than it means Garrity’s regularly blogging), but I don’t have much hope for any of them winning anything, ‘cept maybe Best New Weblog, since, well… Wil won that last year.
And I hate Weasley Crusher. I just started watching Trek for the first time, and, Christ, he’s enough to turn a person off of a show entirely.
Gimme more DS9. c.c
