I’m a Superhero, Apparently?

Even if I had been around enough the latter half of this year to know that this list was being curated, I still wouldn’t have “participated” in asking people to nominate me. I don’t like doing it, I’m the sort of person who doesn’t like spotlights. I detest asking for anything (oftentimes to my downfall). And also I feel that if I don’t ask, I won’t get let down in life. I suppose that attitude carries over to this stuff, too.  I never win popularity contests, because despite the fact that I bend over backwards for those I like and care about, I have a curmudgeonly (I say realistic) outlook to life in general. I also have Bitchy Resting Face. Point is, I’m hard to like. I get that. I’m not really okay with it, but….I suppose it’s a litmus test. The ones that stick around me despite the fact that I’m not always an upbeat, bubbly girl, shine that much brighter in my eyes. 

So when I was told I was #2 on this list, I was shocked. I was shocked that I was even nominated, especially since I’ve not been around much since July. But when someone then pointed me to the person who (most loudly) nominated me, I became all teary. Jack is reader of mine for ages and picks my brain at least once a month.  So Jack, I said it privately but I had to say it here, too: Thank you. I don’t do those things for points and recognition but it’s nice when it happens. It’s nice not to be forgotten, and it’s lovely to be recognized for all these things by someone:

 dawww

I also have to agree with him on his other noms, especially Kara Sutra. That woman works 10 times harder than half the bloggers I know; have you seen all her videos?!?  She’s been blogging for ages and has done way more to educate the public than I.  She should have been #2 instead of me, but I don’t make the lists ;) I can’t imagine ranking people I know personally, so I’m glad it was done by a “third party” like site.

There were a few other peeps who nominated me; I didn’t read most of the comments. If you did nominate me thank for you not forgetting about me. My ghostly form isn’t wholly transparent just yet, haha. But anyways,  here’s the list. Since this is the last time I’ll likely ever be on such a list,  I want to share the links for everyone else to enjoy. Give them all a visit, k?

    Congratulations! I more often than not enjoy your site as a lurker, reading on the bus, or walking to class. Was glad to see you at the top.

    ~Thank you!

  2. Sandra says:

    You are a total bad ass and it’s damn well time everyone knew it!

  3. This is fabulous, happy, positive news! If you look through the nominations (as that commenter failed to do) you will see that you were in fact nominated many, many times. Congrats!

  4. Jack of Trades says:

    Since I can recall listening to you vent your occasional frustrations with running all of these groups and doodads, I thought that it was a travesty that you were not crowned Queen numerous times! But I am an outsider.

    And in response to the lovely Bedhead, I can see now that there were a number of nominations after my comment but at the time I made my comment it was somewhat early on and I hadn’t seen more than one. Maybe they were there but not showing up just yet. No matter, I’m glad it made you happy, Lil.
