And the Awards for the Rest of Yous

Here's the awards to go out to bloggers who aren't currently typing an award blog at this cul-de-sac of the Internets at this very moment. That's right, you get to see if I think you're worthy of the oxygen that is slowly killing you while sustaining your life temporarily. Most of you are probably perfectly aware of these bloggers and the validity of each as a source for boredom relief, but if you aren't, all of the following actually feature people who were at least professional writers for a couple of years or are at least good enough to write professionally. Keep in mind that they're blogs though and we all suck sometimes.

I also expect you to download the image at right and to display it proudly on your blog. It's your official Bliss and Blisters Award Gold Medal and I made it especially for you.

Best Blog with Frequent Posts about Climbing Things: It's obviously not a blog about climbing, but no one else has written a brilliant narrative about being trapped on a ledge during a climbing trip and spooning with a girl who isn't his significant other, or about climbing tables.

The Blogger We All Wish Wasn't So Damn Inefficient: Chris is perhaps the best writer among us. His posts are intelligent, witty, and laugh-out-loud funny, but in a perfectly dry and subtle way. He just posts on a lunar cycle, about once a month. This is a good place to start if you aren't familiar with my former college newspaper editor.

Best Long-Winded Blogger with a Black, Mean-Spirited Heart: She makes fun of me, celebrities, babies, people who make babies, and then stabs hopeful filmmakers in the heart in their moments of vulnerability of previewing a work they put their sweat equity into. She may look all sweet and caring, and try to fool you with her comments about her husband and dog, but she's really evil.

Blog with the Best Comment Pages: Bacon Soup may have short posts that rely heavily on a gimmick, but they result in some seriously classic comment discussions. Try the ice bear and Bhutto comments for example.

Funniest Blogger I don't Know Personally: I have no idea who Kate is. I do know that she doesn't post enough though. However, despite the slow pace of content addition, her posts are comedy gold. She's got a great way of making the mundane sound hilarious. Kudos. Just read her dining room floor glitter post (the first one on the previous link) or this to see for yourself. She also gets the award for Best Use of Labels.

Blogger Who Makes Best Use of Surveys Taken from Other Blogs: Sure, she actually makes plenty of more original posts and some high quality ones at that (and seems to mention me more than Mickey should be comfortable with if he weren't so busy spooning with female rock climbers and climbing kitchen tables), but she takes the classic cop out blog post and actually makes them worth reading, especially if you're really bored or know her personally, both of which usually apply to me.

Best Poster Who Doesn't Actually Have A Blog of Their Own: There's no link here because Julie doesn't have a blog and apparently doesn't even allow her profile to be shared. In fact, if you don't know who I'm talking about, feel free to imagine that she's simply a figment of my imagination or a sexual predator who thinks I'm ten years old. Julie also qualifies for the Campaigned Hardest for an Individual Honor award.
