Those Who Think It's an Honor Just to be Nominated Clearly Don't Know How Good It Feels to Win

After years of scribbling into notebooks and sacrificing nights out with friends in order to stay home and write, my hard work, hermit-like behavior and penchant for idiosyncratic photography has finally paid off.

That is to say: I have received the prestigious and much-coveted Blog of Steel Award.

Thank you to M@ for the nomination (which he admits came mostly out of pity) and to the friends and family who stood by me all these years.

I would like to pass this honor along to =) whose humor — though fairly new to blogger — is worthy of an increased readership.
