I got a… a… um… an award? No, that’s not right.

I got a nice little friendship badge. It’s kind of like those badges you used to get in girl scout’s, except no one has to bleed trying to sew it to a sash. Thank God.

Anyway, Selma says I have been a great buddy in the Blogsophere. Selma’s a peach, and I wish I could remember exactly which one of you insisted that I run over and see what she was all about so I could kiss you for it. She actually writes - like real writing, not like the stream of consciousness rambling I do here. I admire that.

So, now it’s my turn to pass it on, pay it forward, share the love man and all that.

Oh my God the pressure. How in the hell do I pick just a random few people to call friends?! Someone’s going to get left out!! Some sweet soul will find this and not see their name and run off crying into their keyboard!

Shit. Thanks, Selma.

OK, first let me say that I love all of you. Well, most of you. I mean… aside from that chic who said I was predictable and boring on that fucking Johari’s window thing. And that one girl who deleted me off her MySpace page (which is just weird). Oh, and that guy who used to drop by now and then and leave weird pervy and not flattering pervy but just creepy pervy comments. But other than that, I love you all.

And if you send me Christmas presents, I promise to love you more than anyone else.

But for now, before the season is among us, I’ll have to just single out a few of you.

1. Amy - obvious, yet has to be repeated because she really is my BFF. In real life, online, in a crisis, and on a boring ass Sunday afternoon. Don’t feel bad, I’ve known her longer than any of you fuckers.

2. Deanna - it’s hard to believe I’ve only known her for like three months. And I think she’d read my blog for all of about two weeks before she found out I had moved to her area and might need a friend. Thank God for her.

3. Rich of Championable - dude, in a totally appropriate way of course, but I love him to death. He doesn’t read the same blogs as me, we don’t have the same commenters, and I’ve only spoken to him once on the phone for about 90 seconds. But somehow I’ve always felt like we “click”. Appropriately.

4. RW - truth be told, his wife (who I’ve actually never met) really raises his stock. Oh RW, I kid. I love that you give me a reason to use the word cantankerous in proper context.

5. Hilly - something about her just makes me smile.

6. Fabulicious - because while he’s like the entire Internet’s BFF, somehow he can make you feel like you’re the only thing that matters right now.

7. The Mutt Princess - she invited me to a Prince concert. ‘Nuff said.

8. NYC Watchdawg - he gave me one of the nicest compliments I’ve ever received in a comment once. And I bet he wouldn’t even remember it - but I do.

9. ADW - such a big ol’ soft heart under all that profanity. Even if she does like Avi better than me. I’m confident I’ll wear her down.

10. Uhh… shit.

Oh fuck, there’s still so many left! I wanted to talk about the hilarious chic who doesn’t even have a blog, and the ones who’ve shared with me their pain in order to help me through mine, and the ones who just make me laugh and - fuck! But I’m down to my last one! And if I don’t say Adam, I’ll probably get fired!

Fine. I’m sorry guys - you were going to be next. YOU were going to be number ten.

But he pays the bills.
