The 4th Irish Blog Awards took place last Saturday the 21st in
Cork International Airport Hotel

(Otherwise known as “some internet thing, you know like the twatty website” – by my mum)

It was my first Blog/Twitter Event, and it wont be my last!
Its been a (lax, badly run) year since I began this blog and 7 months since I began on twitter.

I never thought I would meet anyone from it, let alone loads of very cool, lovely, funny, amazing, madcap, fantastic, charming, welcoming, sweet, sexy, gorgeous, intelligent, inspiring antos as I did at #iba09

Wow! Bloscars are amazing!

I have no words really to describe it other than Loved

I met so many cool people, and I know I’ve only remembered a tiny weeny few, but believe me you all left a huge impression on this little elf!

Bloggers Roadtrip 09 – Amsterdam!
Anyone is welcome so long as you don fly WhineAir

Elf!

Yes before you complain I know its not pronounced like its written!

Anyhow, the ever lovely Rick OShea in his post on Friday said he Would Like To Meet 5 fellow bloggers at the upcoming blog awards on 21st Feb.

I am really looking forward to these awards, not as someone asked cause I have a possibility of winning one. I will not even make nominations, and that is fine as I’m not really a proper blogger. But really cause in the last year of reading these blogs, and in the last seven months of being on twitter and chatting to many of these lovely folk on a more daily basis, I have made some really meaningful connections (at least to me) and I am looking forward to putting voices to words!

So to the MeMe Batman!

“This Meme is simple.

Name 5 bloggers you haven’t met in the flesh before that you’d like to say hi to at the Blog Awards, say why if you want, link to them. They then, in turn, link to 5 bloggers they’d like to meet and so on.

That’s it. It’s just an icebreaker for the night. Yes, I know they might not be coming but it might act as an incentive.”

Rick O’Shea – I’d be a horrid liar if I said I wasn’t looking forward to meeting this man

McAWilliams – The person who features highest in my tweet cloud and to whom online is a real family affair

oh gosh why did I decide to do this…..

The NationalLottie – Lottie’s blog is fun and funky and interesting. I love reading what she’s been up to and she’s found the time to call in to mine and say hi

Prototype of a Person – Sinead gets excited about the same things as me, and when I read her blog I am hopeful that if I can stick to what I want to post and stop navel gazing, I may have a good blog too.

This is What I Do – Darragh has been keeping this blog about as long as I’ve been “keeping” mine, with one difference, he uses his and makes it great. I’m really looking forward to meeting him.

People I also REALLY REALLY want to see too, but I only had 5 choices are

Catherine, Alexia, Marie, Ben, Damien, Tommy, Sinead and about a hundred others!

See you in Snork! .
