Okay, please do excuse the rather hysterical nature of the heading. But I am SO excited.
The story, in short: George over at BookNinja is going away for a couple weeks in July (to Ireland; I'm so jealous I could cry) and asked for applications for guest bloggers. So I threw in an entry, thinking I didn't have a shot in hell, but as you'll see, my entry gave me a chance to rag on Thomas Friedman, which I enjoyed. And George picked me as one of the candidates to be voted for!
I've said it before, and I'll say it again, WOW WOW HOLY SHIT WOW.
BookNinja's an awesome blog, and I'd love to post there. So if you get a chance, please do wander over to the posting and toss a vote my way. I would be coy and just say I'm the entry making fun of Thomas Friedman, but as I am asking for a favor here, I have to stop playing hard to get. Please vote for "Sarah Statz Cords." (Or the cat lady. Her entry is pretty funny.)
It felt good to actually cast a vote for someone deserving of an office.
Thank you.

Since you have now informed me that I not only share my birthday (July 20th) with Thomas Friedman, but also with Citizen Reader I had to vote for you. Good luck.
p.s. I would have voted for you even if we didn't share the same birthday.

Oh dear lovely haven't voted,
I'm with you. I'm just sorry I voted in the last presidential election. And oh, yes, thank you for your vote. I intend to break all promises immediately if I am elected.
SWG!
That is SO weird! (And happy birthday in advance.) But doesn't it SUCK to share a birthday with the Porn Stached Wonder? I don't know why it makes our birthday feel dirty but it does. Our poor birthday.
And thank you for your vote too. Ah, the sympathy vote. The only kind I've ever had a shot at. :)

I'm asking colleagues around here to vote for you! They are obliging folk.

Venta!
That was nice of you; thank you! I feel like I'm running for eighth grade student council again. But this time I'm going to try not to cry when I lose. :) Once every twenty years or so seems about right when running for anything. I wish some of our politicians would consider that rule.
