This may not seem like a big deal to you, but I posted my very first ever comment at Grant Miller Media this weekend. I admitted then and I will admit now, I was drunk. In my defense, I've been hearing about the phenomenon that is Grant Miller Media for at least a year and his reputation intimated me to the point that I couldn't even lurk. So Friday night, er, no . . . early Saturday morning I capitalized on the liquid courage running through my veins and commented. I don't even remember what I said, something about him being a legend, blah whatever. Stalker.
I got up later the same Saturday morning and made coffee, chugged a soda while the coffee brewed, and logged on. I wasn't thinking about anything beyond the dull ache in my temples and had forgotten about the drunk comment so you can imagine my surprise when my inbox showed I had a comment from Grant Miller Media. I freaking panicked, thinking I had made an utter fool of myself and gotten banned . . . and then I saw it: (cue angels) a FACEBOOK FRIEND INVITATION FROM GRANT MILLER MEDIA.
I can't remember exactly what the invitation said but it was something along the lines of having been nominated for The Drysdale Awards. Hopped up on caffeine and adrenaline, I scurried over to see what the eff this crazy man was talking about. Lo and behold! There it was in black and white (or whatever the hell colors he uses over there, I've been too excited to notice): I had been nominated* for "Most Swear Words in a Single Post."
Proudest moment of my blog career. It's an honor for my name to even be mentioned in a post alongside the other nominees; being one of them is downright thrilling.
I want to be sure that you know that I know that the series that got me here, Obscenity Week, was a group effort. It was not all about me. The whole thing started with a Poobomber widget and in the end I simply cataloged the swears and obscenities that you so graciously left for me in the comments.
In a way, this isn't an award for me, it's an award for us. So you should probably go vote for yourself right now. All you have to do is click in the little circle next to "Everything I Like Causes Cancer" under "Blog With The Most Swears" over at Grant Miller Media.
