Joy, over at A Spot of T, decided to award me with the Rockin’ Girl Blogger award on the day I shamlessly blogged about dropping my cell phone in the toilet. Psychologists will be debating for years about who’s psychosis this indicates more about.

Rockin’ Girl Blogger AND the Awesome Guy Blogger were started by a lady by the name of Roberta Ferguson. Rockin’ Girl Blogger came first and then she came out with the Awesome Guy Blogger.

The problem is I don’t think there’s a single blogger left that I read who *hasn’t* received this award. Ergo, I’m just going to award it to whomever I feel like – whether or not they’ve already received one in the past. It goes without saying that I think Joy deserves one.

• The crew at Dust My Broom deserve both a Rocking Girl Blogger (for Lisa) and a bunch of Awesome Guy Bloggers.
• Cammi of Written Inc. fame tops my individual Awesome Guy Blogger list for his thought provoking posts, “Caption This” contests, and for always allowing me to post days late in his comments.
• Sirdar of Sirdar Inc. has already received the Awesome Guy Blogger award from Joy, but I’m reissuing a commemortative issue to him for making me feel like less of a freakish clutz. I may have broken a foot when I get up off of a couch, but at least my leg wasn’t hairy *grin*Sidebar your Honour? What’s with all these Inc.’s in male blogger’s blog titles? Is that a sign that the content is going to be great? The secret to success? Do we women need to follow this trend?
• Laughing Muse at Title Deleted for Security Reasons gets a Rocking’ Girl Blogger award.. She makes me laugh, she makes me cry, she gives awesome advice to the unemployed and generally puts up with my crankiness. Oh, and she’s not afraid to go on a short unexplained hiatus. I like that it a blogger – possibly because I’ve been known to do it before? – keeps me on my toes.
• Haley-O at The Cheaty Monkey deserves a crayon bucket full of Rocking Girl Blogger awards. She makes me laugh, she’s a mommy blogger I’m perfectly happy to read, and she’s worth her (considerably expanding as the pregnancy reaches it’s end) weight in gold!
• Susan Helen of West of Mars and Erica of Writing Aspirations (please let it be spelt with a “c” and not a “k”) earned their Rockin’ Girl Blogger awards through blood (blisters on typing fingers), sweat (does this plot element fit with the rest of the book) and tears (joy and pain, I’m sure). Both are extremely talented writers in their own right, but I smooshed them together so I’d have room to add
• Rhian of From My Brain to Yours also gets to raise high the female version of the award. I did debate long and hard on this one because I’m not sure you can top an Uber-Dork award…
• Oh, who am I kidding, I’ll never keep the list it down to 5 female bloggers – Christine d’Abo deserves one too! Skip the fact that we attended the same university (not at the same time) and worked in the same fields (before I jumped ship), she’s always a refreshing reminder of home. I love the mountains, but Christine always reminds me that sometimes you gotta play in the water.
• Uisce at Whiskey Talking gets an Awesome Guy Blogger award. If I have to explain it…
