This journal -- don't ask me how it happened -- picked up the People's Choice Award in the The Pink Bee Best Freakin' Blog Ever 2004 (summer) Contest. Piling up more than 400 votes out of a total of nearly 1,000. As a write-in candidate, no less.
The only mention I made of the contest -- anywhere, to anyone -- was a paragraph here eight or nine days ago, a post I took down the following day. So the outcome has left me a bit stunned.
Who are those 400 people? Or was it actually a much smaller group -- repeat voters, a bunch of devoted obsessives with hyperactive trigger fingers?
Whatever the answer, this is fun. Inexplicable, but fun.
Meanwhile, I consider the fact that dooce, one of the contest's official nominees, didn't walk away with a top award to be a major miscarriage of justice. And then there's the shocking absence of Mimi Smartypants' page among the nominees.
Ah, well. Maybe next time they'll have their own devoted obsessives working on their behalf.
