Am I Allowed To Talk About This?

Remember when we all went ahead and nominated some of our favourite blogs for the bloggie awards? And how you got to opt in to be on the panel? Well, YAY. There I am. A panelist.

First up I was excited!

Yay! I get to have my say! I feel so special! I can use lots of exclamation marks to show how I felt!

Then I had a look at the categories I get to have my say in.

Sport? But I don’t read any sport blogs. Who are the sport bloggers?

Music? I love listening to music, but reading about it? Not so much.

Best Computer and Technology Blog? Oh GOD! Why me?

Have I mentioned that I have dial-up? (yes Veronica, in every other post) and that it takes aaaaaaaaaaages for pages to load? Yes? Okay, I will shut up now then. Anyways, I am at the point in the voting where I am SO OVER IT, but yet, I feel so powerful!

You? No, don’t like your layout and you are hard to read. BEEEEEEP gone.

You? You write well and you are easy to read. DING go ahead.

You see? The supreme powerfulness of my job?

The catch you ask? YES! You are with me. There is a catch and just a small one.

THERE ARE 20-30 BLOGS IN EACH CATEGORY AND I HAVE TO LOOK THROUGH 10 CATEGORIES!!!

30×10=300.

300 blogs on my teensy weensy computer. FUN! (Well, actually it is a whole lot of fun and I am discovering a bunch of new blogs. But shhhhhh)

So. My point you ask? Well, not really any point. Just having a whine.

I haven’t gotten around to the category I am most looking forward to though and that is the best kept secret category. Strange, but I actually know a bunch of blogs on that list. (Am I allowed to say who it is? Amiamiami?)

Anyways, I have until the 18th January to get my nominations in. I foresee either the page being left up forever, or me writing the people I like in each category down.

I don’t get a chance to vote for my own blog *sobs* because the categories I may have been nominated in are absent from my nomination list. Conspiracy? Much.

I so wanted to see who was on the list of teen bloggers too.

So can I change the blog addy for the categories that I have been nominated in? Or do I have to suck up to the peeps and get them to change THAT too!!! Oh how I love my new blog but I hate this part!!! Can you check for me?

Cause I never ever ask you for anything. *snort*

Loves ya almost as much as chocolate!

Oh and BTW congrats on the new power. Are you going to start calling Amy mini-me?

So, there is no actual voting by the general blogging populace involved?

Are you rubbing your hands together and muttering “BEHOLD, my power is enormous!” as you read the blogs? If not, you should be.

Oooooh, sounds like fun. The dial-up? Not so much. You are very patient, obviously. My head would likely be through my monitor.

Scary thing … a woman with power!! On the other hand, they all have power. Okay – a woman with more power than most. BTW – I never answered your question – I found you through Sarcastic Mom – I think.

Lou’s last blog post..Hello, it’s Monday already …

Leslie January 15, 2008 at 3:46 am

Oooh, how fun! Although 300 blogs with dial-up? Not so fun. Perhaps you’ll be able to get better internet access at your new house??

Gah! That sounds like a lot of work. You can just skip it and give the award to me (ha ha – I don’t even think I’m nominated).

Hey, thanks for popping by my place last week.

Sounds like a massive undertaking! Good luck with the dial-up.
Sounds very interesting though, I want some of the links to the good sites!!

Wow, that’s a major workload, I’m sure you’re up for it! I’m enjoying your blog.

Congrats on becoming a woman of great power…maybe I should say a woman of greater power because, of course, you are the boss in the house…just like me !

May I suggest a trip to the local library, where you could probably pound them out in a couple of hours?

Sarcastic Mom January 18, 2008 at 8:12 am

I think you should take that last part as very good news, dear.

There’s probably a reason why you didn’t get to vote on that one.

Also? I have LOTS OF CHOCOLATE. *wink, wink*

Sarcastic Mom’s last blog post..Get your Wednesday here, on Thursdays!
