I'd like to say a massive thanks to everyone involved in this year's Irish Blog Awards. I'm so sorry I couldn't be there on the night, but I was at a Buddhist retreat centre in England trying to let go of attachment to material things. (Needless to say, I wasn't quite able to avoid the gift shop).
I've been going on and on about myself on the internet for five years now. Every so often I get cold feet and wonder if I should just, eh, stfu. Other times I am so extremely boring [read: happy] that I have nothing really to go on and on about and I kind of trail off. But most of the time I do love blogging, even when it gets me into certain kinds of trouble (like offending my mama, for example, or falling in love).
I really wasn't expecting to win again, so thank you to everyone who nominated me, everyone who comments, Karen for going up and collecting my award for me, all the other Irish bloggers who make it such a great and weird environment (particularly this one), and everybody else who's just lurking in the background. Thank you!

Congratulations on blog award.
ReplyDeleteThere are lots of things you do very well - photography, graphic artistry and stuff. But, you were born to write.
So during these hard days polish up your Booker acceptance speech.
I'm with Anon up there- keep writing.
ReplyDeleteWe all cheered v loudly for you on Sat night and, had you been there, you'd probably have been hugged into 2D
Til hamingju Annie mín!!
