No GLBT for LYD in 2003!
Aaah, the 2003 Bloggies. For those of you not in the know, the Bloggies are like the Oscars of the weblogging world. Actually, replace “Oscars” with “Teen Choice Awards” and the fact the winners don’t even get a fake surfboard, and everything would be much more accurate.
I would, however, like to make one suggestion if you choose to vote in the 2003 Bloggies this year: Don’t vote for me in the GLBT category. “Why on earth would Ernie say something like that?” you ask. Let me humbly submit my reasons:
- The other nominees in said category are much more deserving of the category than I am. Seriously. I’m gay, of course, but I’m gay-lite. I’m like Will from Will & Grace from the newest season: safe, but completely boring. And weren’t Will and Grace going to conceive a love child at some point? That’s kinda creepy.
- Here are the full list of first round nominations for the Bloggies. This has nothing to do with why you shouldn’t vote for me in the GLBT category, I just thought it was a cool link.
- The winner of the GLBT category gets a subscription to The Advocate and OUT magazines. If I wanted content like that, I will just surf the websites of circuit parties and subscribe to the Ellen Degeneres e-mail list, thankyouverymuch.
- I’m serious about #1! Even Min Jung, who is a heterosexual female, is a gayer man than I am. (That’s a complement, sweetie.) She’s the only person that I know who uses the words “grand,” “fabulous” and “gracious [as a statement, not an adjective]” without any sense of irony or sarcasm. Okay, a lot of sarcasm, but that just proves my point.
- I won the GLBT award last year, and only because I wasn’t running against Wil Wheaton.
- If you step back and think about it, weblog awards are kinda cheesy, yeah? Yeah.
So remember the slogan, folks: No GLBT for LYD in 2003! Everything else? Eh, whatever.
