Introducing, The Cuppies!

As the calendar year comes to a close, I can't help but look back at nearly a full year of blogging and think, shit damn, it's time for some eponymous self-aggrandizing Blog awards. Why? Well, if Teddyballgame can do it, so can I. Naturally, these awards will be known as "The Cuppies".

Of course, the awards will include a reader's choice section, wherein you all, the veritable Cupcake Mafia, vote for your favorite posts, characters and blogs. I'm hoping this will also get some longtime shy readers to comment for the first time. So here's how it will go: vote for your favorites in each category in the comment section. If you don't see your choice listed as one of the nominees, write it in. If you win "Best Recurring Character" or "Best Blog" you can make you acceptance speech in the comment section. Winners will be announced after the New Year.

Here are the categories:

Vote for anyone whose name appears in pink on this blog. Nominees include friends like MuppetLover, SuperSkater, Queenie, Mondo, family like Pop and Little Brother, and the miscellaneous: AM New York Guy, FedEx Guy, Cakeman Raven, etc...

Best Sidebar Blog

Vote for your favorite blog that I have in the sidebar. I update the sidebar periodically, so if your favorite is no longer listed, feel free to vote for it anyway. And of course, feel free to vote for yourself. A blog is nothing if not a gigantic exercise in egoism.
