I'm a bit anal.
Get your mind out of the gutter and put that thing back in the drawer, that's not what I mean.
I've never been comfortable going off topic here, but in this instance it's very much intertwined with all that has gone before, so I will declench and carry on.
The blog has made it to the final of the Irish blog awards for 2010, in the Personal Blog category, which is generously sponsored by Microsoft Ireland’s Developer and Platform Group.
I'm glad it's gone through in this category, as dodgy sperm, hand shandys, and all the rest of it is normally considered fairly personal. This is just another one of the pretty cool things that has come about as a result of writing all this nonsense in the last 12 months, getting mentioned as one of the 20 blogs to read by the Irish Times, getting to bloody write in the Irish Times, and even having a chat with Pat Kenny.
Weird, but cool, and all because of the wee minx across the landing who I'm trying not to awaken with my typing.
The awards take place next Saturday 27th March in Galway, and the other 4 finalists in the category are top notch.
Some of you may argue otherwise, but I'm the only owner of a set of testicles among them. I'm a token male. Story of my life.
The finalists are last year's deserved winner Annie Rhiannon, Fatmammycat who was one of the first I ever read, and the other two Queen Of Pots! and A Chick Named Hermia (which I can't not read as Hernia, sorry) were previously unknown to me but really do look impressive.
Good luck ladies, and enjoy the night.

Congratulations and good luck!!
Brilliant. Can we vote for you or anything? You've probably already let us know this but have been ill and then away and erm, the hamster ate my brother.
Hope all is well. :D
I for one am not surprised... Good luck and as Jo Beaufolix has mentioned, let us know if we can vote..
I keep reading her as "hernia" as well.
Well done, nothing more than you deserve.
Good luck.
Nice one.
Although, judging from your title I would have thought you'd be better off in the Gaming and Technology blog category.
Or have I totally missed the point of your blog all along?
SO proud of you. I am.
Cheers for you!
Good Luck.
Connection is behaving for a while so I might get to post this time! Thanks for dropping over beyond....it was nice to hear from you.
Your posts bring back a lot of memories of when my two were younger. Sometimes I've wondered if things weren't easier when they were 'playpen-bound' and I knew where they were all the time....then I look at your blog....heh heh.... ;)
Only joking....
Congratulations again and good luck on Saturday.....although....not TOO much because....well.....you know.... ;)
Good luck man!
Awesome. Good Luck.
You've touched a lot of people...so don't talk about getting anal because it will all start sounding wrong.

Congrats and good luck!
Good luck and well deserved for a blog that fills my computer with hope and wonder in equal measure- will you make it to Galway?
You have to win. No-one else can write so that I laugh until I wee myself, have me up a height every month waiting for a 'visitor', tell all my friends that 'XBox' is having a baby, pace around the room waiting, and waiting and then grin like a proud aunt at the birth of new neice.
so when do we all get a signed photo?
it's been a great weekend eh...a woo hoo for you and mr park too
You deserve it, Fitz!! You are an amazing writer!
GOOD LUCK to YOU...so very deserved to be honored like this...I do hope YOU win! Then again, you already have won with Sanne!

@livingrightnow - touched? nothing was proven.
@Jill/Twipply Skwood - thanks!
@AnnB - Thanks, won't be there even though I swore last year I would. A certainly small someone had other plans!
@Gail - awwww. on the wine again?
@Manuel - the look on the face of the pool fan beside me when 4 foot nothing Park headed that... priceless.
@AnnD - behave ;-)
@hotmamamia - how wonderfully cheesy!
you will probably win simply because you are the token male, NOT because you are worth reading. sorry to burst your bubble.
And I hope you know I am totally kidding.
@Kori - Oooooh....meeeouw ;-)
Let this be the year when the IBAs justly reward your blogging talent!
'Nuf said.
