A couple of weeks ago, I had made a number of predictions for the Bloggies - the biggest blog awards in the history of the world. I made the predictions because - quite frankly - the Bloggies is predictable.
Sure enough, I did well.
Out of the 16 predictions I made, I predicted 6 in the correct categories, two further nominations in the wrong categories, and furthermore I probably would have been more if I realised My Boyfriend is a Twat couldn’t win the “Best European Category”.
Also, the predictions made about that category has become startingly true. 3 of the blogs nominated in that category are from London. London! Just one city in the whole of Europe! How’s that?!?!? (The other two are from Paris and Rekjavik). So, forgive my BNP esque attitude, but the sooner we leave the “Best European Category” the better, as DG said in a comment:-
“So, Canada (population 33 million) gets its own category, and Australia/New Zealand (population 24 million) get their own category, whereas Britain/Ireland (population 64 million) loses out to Europe?
Yeah, I’ve lost interest too.”
Ironically, he’s one of the London blogs up for the nomination. So vote for him, vote for Problogger, vote for I Can Has Cheeseburger, and don’t vote for that Yankee Doodle Chick. All she did was lose her job blogging. Hell I can do that, just I’m not stupid enough to do so.

I nominated Diamond Geezer (amongst others), but I’m not going to be voting for anyone. The majority of the nominations suck
For the first time ever I remembered to actually do the whole bloggies thing, and it turns it doesn’t matter because the same few blogs seem to be in every category.
Yuk.
All award ceremonies nominate the same people every time, it’s not worth stressing about
I am a big fan of Dooce just because her writing is so damn hysterical. Plus her dog photos always make me giggle.
The bloggies are a big pile of suck this year.
I am not a big fan of award ceremonies. I guess till I don’t get one…..
