Well, now I understand why my stats have had so many hits from the diarist awards private yahoopanel over the last week or so.

It seems I was nominated for best rant under the diarist awards best entry.

How this happened, I have no idea (though, if you were responsible for it, I really would appreciate an email, because there is something about my particular award that plagues me and I would rather not mention it publicly).

I am honored, to say the least. Ok, sure, it is probably silly to many people, because it's "just" (please note my intense sarcasm towards that type of attitude) an online writing award. But me? A writing award? I don't care who hosts it, I am still shocked. To be nominated with the likes of TranceJen, whose style I have idolized for over a year now?! I am so not in the same league as many of the finalists, but to see my name there in print thrills me, to say the least.

To whomever ensured that my name made it there, I must thank you, though I wish I knew who you were (an email would be mucho appreciated). I am touched that someone cared enough about me and my writing ::coughrantingcough:: to ask others to notice. That was possibly the most poorly constructed sentence ever. My 24 marathon is ensuring I lack sleep this week.

Silly to be so excited? Perhaps. I don't care. I feel good this morning.

Thank you.

I have the day off today and tomorrow. I will probably go nuts updating again.
