I don’t care so much about the Weblog Awards, and here’s why: I’m never a finalist (actually, I might have been one year, I don’t remember — that’s how much I don’t care). That’s right. It’s because I am one of the best storytellers on the interwebs, and I never get my props. And in the Best Diarist category, I’ve heard of ONE of the nominees. I’ve actually never read JustdotChristina, but I hope she wins, just because I’ve actually heard of her. There, I said it. I don’t care if I’m the only one thinking it, that’s why I don’t care about the Weblog Awards.
And seriously, IMAO is in the same category as one blog whose schtick is to post a picture on the blog then say, “That picture sucks! I hate the person in this picture! I’m so much better than everyone else! Lick my boots!” Um, ok, that’s humor? Put it back in the culture or diarist category where it belongs. Humor? Whatever.
Anyway, my friend Kimmy from Ramble Strip is nominated in one of the Top Thousands categories. I fully endorse her and endorse your voting for her. Voting ends tonight, and then Lair and I can be happy again.
Heck yeah, I’m bitter. I’m thirty years old and chronically ill (though I just got a diagnosis, so I’m going to get better!) and just found out I can’t eat wheat, rye, barley, oats, or anything derived therefrom for the rest of my life. What would you be?

oh also, the voting tends to break a lot.
I would be a brama bull. Or a rhino. Nobody messes with rhinos.
I meant brahma. Mrs. Wilson from teh fourth grade wouldn’t have sent me home for taking off my shirt and rolling in the mud if I were one of those.
That’s a suck, SarahK. Sorry to hear of (what I’m assuming is) your allergy/food intolerance. Hey! That means you really are as intolerant as libs would have it…
Barley? Oats? That means no beer? Sorry SarahK, but sucks to be you right now. Maybe science will come up with something like non-allergisic beer. We can only hope.
Are you a celiac, SarahK? If so, you’re the second person I’ve heard of having that in the past month or so. Weird.
