Floored

2010 January 6
by E.P.

When I started blogging, I never imagined becoming a part of a community. I never really even imagined making “friends” through it. I was a bored college senior, and I wanted to document the weird things people said to me. True story.

And somehow, it evolved into so, SO much more. It went from weird Internet people to meeting new best friends, thanks to the World Wide Web.

Today, I have friends around the globe. Some, who I have spent hours with, and others who I have never met, but hope to one day meet. I don’t think I could have survived in my little town without these friends. The outpouring of support and love from bloggers near and far got me through some tough times when I lived alone in a town where I didn’t know a soul.

When I first started blogging, I joined a 20SB on a whim, not really knowing what to expect. It has been an interesting ride so far, and I look forward to all the future commentary members of the community will provide.

Last week, I learned I was nominated for not one, but two 20SB Bootlegger Awards –Blogger We Wish Would Blog More and Least Likely To Be “Marked As Read.”

I’m at a loss for words and can only say…

THANK YOU!

I am completely shocked and honored to be listed among the other fabulous nominees. I never imagined I would be nominated for one award, let alone two. Never in a million years. It’s an incredible feeling, and I am continually, (almost always) pleasantly surprised by this blogging community.

I won’t ask for your votes, but I will encourage you to go cast your ballot if you’re a member. If you don’t know the bloggers nominated, check out their site. Read a few posts. See what the buzz is all about, maybe reach out to a new friend. And then vote.

Got it? OK… go!

    I voted for you!!! And I voted the second day the finalists were announced - not because you wrote about it.

    I'm so glad I connected with you on 20SB. I love reading all about your life and adventures and I hope to one day meet you in person!

    Maybe in Vegas for the Sin City MeetUp? ;-)
