So there has been a lot of drama over at The Dead End with the Stick It Awards. People were complaining about categories, nominations, parenting habits, etc. You name it, and they were fighting about it. I tried my best to stay in the shallow waters of the drama pool and only put in my $.02 when it really felt necessary.
I have decided, however, to share with you who I think will win next Saturday.
EDIT:
Jerry Springer Award : Ranee should get this. Anyone who is campaigning for this title probably deserves it! (*smooches*)
END EDIT
Best Forum/MB - I admit being a little biased here. I think (hope) that Euphoric MB takes it. I really loved the members there and the atmosphere is welcoming and it’s an awesome place to be. A lot of members there are TDE fans so I suspect that it will take the award.
Coolest Layout - Dubious without a doubt. I had never seen this site until the awards, but the layout is amazing and the colors are perfect. It absolutely deserves to win in this category.
Best New Blog - Can we say Inhale? Alex is an awesome blogger. I’ve been reading her site since before it was Inhale.nu. She’s witty and endearing and her blog shows that. I love Miranda’s site too, but I just have a gut feeling that Alex will take it.
I Changed My Layout Again ( but my site still sucks ) - Now we get to the nastier award categories. This is an easy pick though, because after looking at all of them, the only one I know to constantly change layouts is Jenn. Yvonne’s blog leaves a lot to be desired, but her layout hasn’t changed that much. Xoxo.nu goes through layouts like I go through Ho Hos. The only difference is that Ho Hos are actually palatable.
I Am Not A Drama Queen! - Nicole from Sparkley hasn’t been involved in any drama as of late, because she’s been too busy doing … whatever it is that she does. Grace from DawsonDays is a self proclaimed Drama Queen, so that doesn’t really fit. Angela is catty, but not overly dramatic. The only person in this category who speaks out against drama while handing out “subtle” jabs is Jenn. Now, if only her drama wasn’t ages old and boring.
What Were You Thinking? - I don’t know. I’m not sure I even fully understand this category. Brandy has poor coding - but has tried to improve. However, she also likes commenting anonymously as “Somebody”. That’s sorta silly with IP logging and everything. I’m going to go with Brandy, for her sneaky, sneaky ways.
Worst Parent - One nominee doesn’t have a child, so I doubt she’ll take it. Shelly named her kid Phenix. I can’t really jump on anyone for their child’s name, although someone should jump on her for her inability to use the English language properly. Jenn has a laundry list of skerry kid incidents, and for a while I was sure she’d take this one. Then Karol appeared on the scene, ranting and raving about how smoking around her child is okay and all the studies that suggest otherwise are untrue. I don’t know what sort of parent she is, and I don’t really care. I do think, however, she will take this category because of the sheer volume of comments.
Worst Blog on the Net - Funky Butt. Again, this is a case where I think people will vote for her just because of the drama that got started over her baby’s name. I don’t have any feelings about her site because of the poor grammar, but that’s just me.
Blog of The Year - I really, really hope that Becca takes this one. I have been in love with her site for a year or so now. Warm, friendly, and funny, she is one of the coolest people to read. Her family means the world to her and it shows. She deserves this award.

I won’t even go into the more negative categories, but I have to agree with you about Dubious, Inhale, and Dasbecca. I really hope Becca gets Best Blog, she’s a great person, super sweet.
Some of that drama over at TDE was too funny, some was just lame.
Funky Butt?!?
Hell - it’s still better than dirty butt… if there is such a blog out there..
Yes, some of the sites were really obvious, even though I had never seen them before. I still can’t believe all the drama Stick It Awards caused. Why can’t people just lighten up? It’s not as if this will go on their permanent records!
I must admit that I have no idea what you are talking about… But I am guessing this is some kind of competition with really weird categories…? :P Anyways, I hope it goes the way you want to ;) I’ll check some fo the sites out :)
since you didn’t mention the Jerry award does that mean I’m a shoe in?
If I campaign for funky butt will I get the title?
Some people took these awards way too seriously. I personally found it amuzing and can not wait to see the results.
way to misquote me. get your facts straight.

“I find that the whole smoking during pregnancy bullshit to be completely unfounded.”
In fact, if you were really interested, it’s actually cig smoking that is making pot smoking while pregnant look bad. =D ( Source )
Based on my half of the voting tally’s I already know who stands the 50% chance of winning :haha:

ooooh tell me- I’m dying to find out
ha ha ha! I think all your predictions are right! That’s HILARIOUS!
Gotta love internet drama eh? I don’t understand why so many people are getting their panties in such a twist over this though. Its THE INTERNET! If you don’t like it, then… get this… turn off the computer. OMG amazing how that works.
I must agree with you though, if I were to vote I would probably vote very similarily to yourself (though I don’t really keep up with many on the ‘blog scene’ so I don’t know who half these people are).
Drama schrama, I’m already working on next year’s campaign to be awarded funky butt.
Hooray for internet drama. People need to get over themselves. I agree with your predictions, Heather. Can’t wait until the winners are announced. :D
Brandy has poor coding - but has tried to improve.
No, she really hasn’t! She asked people for honest reviews last year, and when I gave her an honest review, she threw a temper tantrum because I was too honest, and didn’t listen to a word I said. She’s still using the same old redundant JavaScript and still making many of the blatent coding errors she was a year ago.
Your nominations are not far from what I nominated though. :)
Aww Thanks Heather! I came here and realized…this is tomorrow. Now I need to contemplate what type of joke I’m going to play on Kevin for April Fools Day.

The more you comment on anyone’s site the more you amaze me. How exactly did she misquote the things that came off your typewriter dear?
ahh internet drama. interesting categories. i know a few of the people you mentioned. im confused on the the site funky butt. who cares if she wants to name her daughter that. its not like she naming her dingbat or something. some tyhings you said were funny
ah i cant spell lol i meant to say things*
*sniffles* Awww… I had no idea you felt that way about me! :] I’m actually now compelled to start blogging about something interesting, but $10 says I won’t be able to pull it off ;)
Still, I do agree with the overwhelmind majority of your choices; I’d say it’s really a tie between Jenn & Karol for the worst mother award, simply because one uses quite controversial methods to relieve toddler constipation and the other turns her newborn over to somebody else while she beats her top score on… whatever video game it is that she plays.
I’m rooting for Becca in the Blog of the Year as well - it’s fantastic! :)
So is this what you guys in that part of new yawk do for fun? Propagate el dramaeo through meaningless awards?
I agree on quite a few of your choices, some however, I’ve never heard of the people! lol.
Just have to wait and see..
Random Salad should win the newbi award!
