Is this what we’ve all been waiting for? If so, I’m not entirely convinced at this stage, however happy my hero looks.

I hate it when Davo goes away for holidays. I feel cheated enough by his sporadic posting. But weeks without it? It’s just not fair.

Songs for never-were and used-to-be lovers: Something So Right, Everloving, Calling it Quits. There are others, but they’re too cheesy.

You know, just because I’m not posting very much at the moment doesn’t mean that I’m not working on exciting plasticbag.org related projects. I just wanted to make sure you understood that.

You know a forum’s really successful when someone spends time developing a little gadget to help you get the ideal username. Presenting the Barbelith Fictionsuit Generator. This is Count ForbiddenLove signing off…

They’re back, and this time it’s the Second Annual Bloggies. They’re currently taking nominations. Last year, plasticbag.org won a couple, making me “Best European Poof”. Which was nice! But I wrote less dull crap then, so with any luck this year, someone more deserving will go home with the huge stigma of caring whether or not they’re popular and end up being pointed at by friends at the pub and softly mocked.

Having said that, of course, it wouldn’t be sporting if I didn’t encourage my readers to vote for me. I mean – it would surely be a pyrrhic victory if people felt that all their contemporaries had already abandoned all claims to the throne. So please, feel free to nominate plasticbag.org for any or all of the following: Best European Weblog, Best Designed Weblog, Best Big Poof (Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgendered) Weblog and Weblog of the Year.
