Vote for me here<\/a><\/p>\n

OK, so, admittedly, I didn’t even know these existed; I also find it ironic that today, of all days, I decided to post stuff about American politics. However, it seems that I, or rather this blog, have been nominated in two of 13 categories for the south african blog awards<\/a>!<\/p>\n

How cool is that? Somebody had to nominate me, and all, and I made it to the top ten w\/o even knowing it!<\/p>\n

they like me, they really like me<\/p>\n

I’m in the Best SA lifestyle blog<\/em> category, and the Best design for a blog<\/em> category. (And note that now, you can download this great design for your own blog. Get the NAN theme for WordPress here<\/a>)<\/p>\n

And if it wasn’t for gabbahead<\/a>, and his comment on my page (and my follow through his links), I wouldn’t even know! Thanks, man.<\/p>\n

Anyway, there are a bunch of really cool blogs<\/a> listed, and some I hadn’t even known about (I have a lot of reading to do over the next few days) – rock on with SA blog culture! Do some of you guys want to be my friend? I’m a lot cooler than I, um, I’m a lot cooler than, um, no I’m not… but still.<\/p>\n

If you are reading this, take 5 mins:<\/p>\n
