I am rather excited today, dear readers. The reason for my excitement is this: the lovely GothicHeartsAndBatWings has nominated me  for something called the GARGIE award. As one can imagine, this has left me in a state of euphoria. There’s something endearingly odd about the GARGIE award too, which I adore. Of course, with great power, there comes great responsibility, and so in order to accept this award, I must follow the conditions it comes with. Well, I think I can manage that.

1.  Display the award badge as prominently on your site as you are inclined… if you like.  Okey dokes!

2.  Publish a post to inform the world of your great achievement. Done, but I wouldn’t exactly call it “great”…

3.  Nominate some fellow bloggers (who have been outstanding in their field… figuratively or literally)… if you feel inclined. I love this bit!

4.  Indicate to your nominees that they have received the award… provided you have completed step three.

Okey dokes then. My nominees are as follows:

• The Red Serpent
• AsylumAttendant
• TA Grey
• Crow Roads
• Roses and Vellum
• Silent Owl
• Chloe Henderson
•  The Weirdest Band in the World
•  TheTeenCrossdresser
• RibbonAroundABomb
• Scout The Reckless
• My Swagger Has a First Name
• Ambivalence Personified
• Flannobee
• NamelessNeed
• HappinessIsNotADisease
• IHeartIngrid
•  ShadowOfTheVampire
• The Toymaker
• Threedescriptors
• Weaselgals’ Haven
• S. Harry Zade
• Also, I know that awards like this isn’t their thing, so instead I’m gonna take this opportunity to give a big shout-out to Soulish Exhortations. Read them, they’re funny.

And since I’m giving shout-outs right now, I’d like to draw your attention to a band called Absence of Pressure, some of whose members are friends of mine. Below are two of their original songs. Quite groovy, are they not?
