A Vote For Me Is a Vote For Babies & Puppies

I like to win things. I really, really, like to win things. However, very rarely do I win things just because. Like, if I enter a writing contest, I’ll do well. I’ve even placed among the top 40 and will see my piece published in an anthology.

Don’t believe me? Click here.

That’s me under the grand prize winner. And you can read my winning entry, here.

But I don’t want to win something because I put in an honest effort. Been there, done that. I want, like most Americans, to win something just for being lucky. That’s where you come in.

First, everyone here knows I’m the biggest Battlestar Galactica fan in the history of ever. Don’t believe me? Click here. And here. And here. Well @SyFy is giving away an honest-to-goodness Cylon Toaster and I want it. Badly. If you are on Twitter, follow @SyFy and send them a tweet telling them (in 160 characters or less) why I should win the toaster.

Let’s face it, via my blog and my Oprah-like powers of persuasion, I’ve gotten so many people to watch/rent/buy Battlestar Galactica, SyFy probably owes me some dough. But the toaster aside, and I do want the toaster, you should follow @SyFy for updates on Battlestar Galactica: The Plan, Eureka, Warehouse 13, Caprica, and all your other sci-fi faves.

Also, a friend of mine convinced me to enter my blog in the Black Weblog Awards 2009. My blog is being considered in the following categories:

Blog To Watch

Best Writing

Best Family/Parenting

Best Personal Blog

Best Microblog (if my tweets have you all atwitter)

Of course, I know of a few deserving blogs in each of those categories, but the bloggers aren’t black. I am. So, sucks to be them. Nobody told them to be white.

If you’ve been enjoying my blogs since back in the day (2006), I’d appreciate your votes. Click here to do so.

Vote away! And remember, a vote for me is a vote for babies and puppies.

You don't want them to die, do you?

Voted x's 12. That's how many email addresses I have at my disposal! Good luck hun! Let us know the results...

Your baby and dog would have been more convincing. They are cuter anyway.
If I vote for you can I get a Bella update?

If you vote for me, you can get Bella!

I found you through Cathy's tweet. I so totally will vote for you. And since I don't watch that show, I definitley won't be the compitition!

You totally should! I got her hooked on BSG. :-)

Babies and puppies shit too much.

I may or may not have voted for you 3 times with 3 different email addresses on the black weblog awards *whistles innocently*

Fingers and toes and legs and eyes and hot buns all crossed for you!

Congrats! I'm totally going to vote for you, and I'm not even going to try to win the toaster.

That's the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me. Now if you can tell the rest of those people on Twitter to back the hell off my toaster, that would be great!

I'm on it.

See, isn't it awesome having minions?

Annnnd also. My BFF just suggested I tell you that in March of last year when she and I were at the Atlanta airport, I saw this tall, gorgeous black woman and INSISTED it was you. She had to talk me out of approaching her. So now she makes fun of me for thinking every pretty black girl in Atlanta is you. And now when you talk to me on twitter I freak out, so she makes fun of me more. The end.

Ugggh. She just told me to ask you to follow her on twitter because she loves you. @wannabeamd

Will do.

I wasn't at the ATL airport in March of last year. May, but not March. And I was extremely prego. Still hot, though. Just saying.

When I went to her profile I had the "unfollow" option so I must have already been following her. Or maybe the test tweet I sent first automatically made me follow her. Either way, done! :-)

LOL I so voted already. I told you that on twitter. Im wondering though... whats so special about the toaster? It sounds cool but its a toaster. lol

Don't make me hurt you.

It's a BSG toaster. Which means the toast will be, like, ten kinds of awesome. Duh!
