Joe Love--funniest

And who the hell voted me for cheeriest?  Guess I need to put on my cranky face and kick some tail!  Cheery...GAWD, that's almost an insult!  I am soooo many things, but cheery ain't it!  lol  Good luck with the poll!

I have to ask!! My votes.........Funniest males........Strat and Joe love

Funniest females would have to be Renigade and Kiddo

Lensman--
Yeah, the statues are EXPENSIVE!!  Besides, Tim wants more writing awards and less personality ones...I hope you have your suit pressed and ready!

Hi Quirk

It's always risky choosing from such a crowd because you always leave out very deserving people, but from my latest readings:

Funniest male -- Joe Love.  His humour runs consistently, like a thread, through his writing... 

Funniest female(s) -- Usual Suspect and Renigade, a couple of very, very funny ladies.

Most Cheerful --  I'll skip this, there are too many...

Crabbiest -- I'll skip this, there are too many....

Most helpful -- Ariala with all her tips on writing and marketing.  I found L.E. Gant very helpful, too, while he was here. 

I could add a lot of other names, too, if we had categories for most enthusiastic, most alluring, most dream-worthy, most foul-mouthed, most mellow, most fiery -- wait a minute, those little statues cost money, don't they?

Hi Quirks..How are ya? I'm too lazy to vote right now...lol..busy moodling!

whacky--
what you say is true, but the real world doesn't work that way--"limited" awards are given all the time--there are only three gold medals in the olympics, fer instance!!

posted by Julia. on August 27, 2005 at 10:19 AM | link to this | reply

TIM--
3 out of the 5 were writing related...and blogit is not ALL about the writing...it is about personalities, too--hence...personality awards! Well you didn't vote anyway!

I thinks everyone should get a prize. There are too many good writers to ust pick two in each catagory!

Blogit is supposed to be all about writing........why only a couple of categories?

on my fingers and...I dunno, I'll figure out my fashion statement later, lol.  I'll have to give my votes some thought before casting; be back later Quirky.

Quirks,

Amen on that!

MW.......I understand. I'm a little disheartened myself. I do hate to see you go. Please, keep in touch...And as always, God's blessings to you and yours.

OK Quirky

Gotta get running in a minute...seems my work is never done LOL!

thanks for voting. It's kinda ironic who you put as cheerful since just yesterday she was "the crab". -lolol!!

I'm hoping MW will see the light--we need good people like her, to balance out the not-so-good.

Midnight

I really really appreciate the thought and to be honest, this was a hard decision for me.  This place and the amazing people have saved my sanity the past months.  But the drama is too much...for I do not take money that could be well spent elsewhere to have page after page after page of it.  I was happy to pay because of the people here but at this point and time in my life, I have plenty of my own drama on a daily basis.

MW--you can still vote...

Besides---you might be having a knee jerk reaction...in a day or two, you will hopefully realize that the good people here far outweigh the undesirables...
