In the immortal words of Dan Leo:
And, finally, for Best Diarist, give it up for Blue Girl. If she comes in last we’ll never hear the goddam end of it.
The old me would've said, Pshaw! But, the new me says, Damn straight!
You're not like Jon Swift's readers, are you? All lazy, apathetic and good-for-nothing? You are? Good! Those excellent traits have landed him in second place.
Now, go vote!
Kathleen of Diary of a Heretic for Best Literature Blog.
Susie Bright for Best LGBT Blog.
Shakesville for Best Liberal Blog.
Simply Left Behind for Best Up and Coming Blog.
Special thanks to Jon Swift, Larry Jones, Dan Leo, Lance Mannion, El Snacktataroo, Christine Monnier, Adorable Girlfriend, Claire, Shayera, Will and Pinko Punko!
Some of my favorite lazy, apathetic and good-for-nothing friends.
Bossy is all over Best Diarist, doling out her vote in 24-hour increments -- at least you're not up against the Comic Curmudgeon like Bossy. Oy.

I have a feeling we're never gonna hear the end of this no matter where you come in.
Posted by: Dan Leo | January 10, 2009 at 04:52 PM
I'm voting daily, Blue Girl!
Posted by: Manny | January 10, 2009 at 05:57 PM
Blue Girl, thanks for the endorsement.
Personally, I'm glad you're taking this seriously.
And I'm hoping Dan Leo's right. No matter where you place, I'm hoping you'll deconstruct the significance of all this on every level.

I am sorry to inform you that the MPAA has changed the rating of this blog from G to PG for mild language (L). E.g. the use of the word damn.

Thanks, everybody!
fish, I curse now. I forgot to blog about it. Dammit.
Posted by: blue girl | January 11, 2009 at 08:03 AM
Oh, and Kathleen...
Believe me, I plan to deconstruct the significance of this entire thing! Just for Dan Leo.
Posted by: blue girl | January 11, 2009 at 08:05 AM
I voted. Then I voted again. And again. And so on - all for you.

Vote 'til it Hurts!
Just did . (Anybody have a band-aid?:)

You're third, by my count, which is a long way from stone cold bottom. But this every 24 hours thing is a spontaneity killer.

I came late to this event, Blue Girl, so I only got to vote twice. But let's hope there's a huge push at the end and you win this thing by one vote, then of course I'll feel my two votes made the difference.
Good luck!

1200 voters love you, Blue Girl. Time to work on your interviews

This is the second time I've tried to post a comment. The first one seems to have disappeared, so here we go again:

Of course, now I've posted the same comment twice.
Posted by: Larry Jones | January 13, 2009 at 01:48 AM
Comment early, comment often, that's Larry's motto.
Posted by: Jeremy Cherfas | January 13, 2009 at 04:53 AM
I am totally OK with being good for nothing, but it's the lazy I wish to challenge.
Posted by: Adorable Girlfriend | January 13, 2009 at 09:39 AM
Larry, it's Typepad and the "improvements" they've made lately.
Gotta say, I love that clip! I've watched it 50 times. lol

I'm trying to vote... but I don't have the patience for the stupid site to load!
There's clicking on the link...
staring at the blue line that doesn't appear to be moving...
then the moment when I'm sure it's moving THE OTHER DIRECTION...
then I click on reload because I'm mental and can't help myself....
then I give up.
Just so you know, in my heart, I've voted at least 2 dozen times.
