great heavens above

There I was, going about my business yesterday, when I was told - in the middle of a beer and yakkidy yak with two mates - that I WON TWO BLOG AWARDS last night.

Shut up. Are you serious? I had to go and double check this morning first just to make sure, because I really thought my blog wouldn't scratch the surface this year. Wow! WOW, ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I won for Best Original Writing (and that kicks so much ass, I want to strip off and run around naked I'm so excited, but it's a bit chilly this morning), and I won Best Post.
You gotta laugh. I won best post about How Not To Buy Condoms. Hilarious, since I'm not actually buying condoms at this very moment am I? Well folks, winning these has made my month. I wasn't lying when I said it would.

Sheesh, I'm honoured. And shit the competition just gets stiffer and stiffer. So if you voted for me, and you like reading this everyday, well I gotta say, I love you right back. Thank you so so so much. And to all the others who won awards, congrats to you guys as well. All deserved - and you can check up on who won what right here.

You know what I'm going to do now? I'm going to celebrate. This means I'm going down to some restaurant today, decked out in my scarf, and am going to order myself a large, packed-with-polyunsaturates meal. I'm going to splurge on a hearty meal just for me. Yay! As promised, my scarf. Isn't it gran-tastic?
