VIVI Awards

A busy little buzz has been bizzziiiinnnn around Journal Land for over a week now. After visiting our newest Divine Editor in Chief last night, Jodi and her great and powerful pages  Looking Beyond the Cracked Window....I was finally seduced into a visit. Over at Patrick's Place I read through several entries explaining, highlighting information, and then I found the list of awards and categories.

I felt like a deer caught in headlights.

       I'm sure everyone else has seen the detailed, finely tuned categories <since I am typically a week behind in just about every quiz, tag, game and questionnaire> .

       There is a plethora of choices and as I scanned the finer details, I realized they covered just about every unique type of journal out there. The deer in headlights apprehension, stems from realizing I wanted to participate in this fine venture, but I would have to designate, on my own accord and opinion, which journals fit best in which category.

       Now, I've been journaling for almost a year. During that year I've collected links like a bag lady collecting cans. I attempted a high society collection of email alerts and recently claimed bankruptcy and turned them all in. Back to bag lady style, collecting links in my favorites folders. So I look through all the links and wonder how in the world I'm going to be able to designate individual journals to the esteemed categories. This is one of those moments where I placed the back of my hand to my forehead, Scarlet O'hara style and sighed a meaningful  Have Mercy~

      
       Then by all thoughts human, I realized I could be nominated and that froze me like a squirrel taking on a car in the middle of the street. Thoughts of oh, wow, maybe I should dust up the old journal, spruce up the sidebar, write something spectacular. I digress, thinking like that is the most assured way of freeze up writing, kinda like the deer or squirrel on impact :o)

       So I'll leave my cobwebs and same old, same old and concentrate on the enormous task at hand. Figuring out just which categories everyone fits in! I believe the only easy one is the Canadian journal. As far as I know, Paul Aurora Walking Vacation is the only Canadian I visit frequently and really enjoy reading his works, so I have one picked <ya me>

        Then I pursue through my favorites and I wonder to myself lets say, about Judith over at  Mirror, Mirror on the Wall . Love her journal she's a beautiful writer, I'm a loyal reader, but is she most emotional? Best theme <breast cancer> ? And then there is Jodi over at Looking Beyond the Cracked Window....,  you never know what's going to be on her entries, and I've read her probably the longest since I started journals, but since there in no category for fantastic eclectic writing, I need to figure out where to stick her. <wanna give me a hint Jodi and Judith?? I have one more narrowed down, most humorous, thats a pinkalicious pick, Reflections of Ari if your looking for humor and fantastic writing abilities, she's the one <ya me, 1 more picked> and MANY more to go~~


       I think I counted 30 or so categories for the VIVI Awards. Lets spread the love everyone and get on the boat with this fun activity. Oh, wait, how about this, and if you've visited my pages you know I NEVER tag anyone. I officially tag everyone to make a list, check it twice and vote for your favorite journals.
