Proximidade Award - Winners

Published by hindleyite at 8:49 am under Awards Edit This

Proximidade Award

A while back I mentioned that the Proximidade Award had been passed on to me by The Spinster Chronicles for some strange reason. Well, I am pleased to announce my personal selections ~~to keep the chain going~~ for this prestigious award. The following articles well represent the award’s terms, namely:

These blogs invest and believe in PROXIMITY - nearness in space, time and relationships! These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in prizes or self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers! Deliver this award to eight bloggers, who must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award.

And, without further ado, the list, in no particular order. Though mainly in the field of humour, there’s a few other topics squeezed in here and there.

Forklifts Unlimited. Not updated in a while, but very funny and in places (gasp) informative.
The Exaggerator. Charming, well written and above all freaking awesome.
Pink Latex, a well-designed blog that doesn’t take itself too seriously.
For the Love of G…lasgow. All about Glasgow, but has nothing to do with Glasgow at the same time. Still, it made me laugh.
That Would be Mice. “I have five snakes, who wish they were lolcats”. Just a little bit mental, but in a quaint way.
Sanity on Edge. Funny stuff from a passionate blogger.
Things to be miserable about. Morbidly engaging. One for the sadists?
The Commercials I hate. Yes. Someone after my own heart. Commercials suck!

Congratulations to the winners! The owners of the blogs listed above are permitted to select eight of their own favourite weblogs and notify each of them them. Aaaand a little link back to here wouldn’t go amiss.

Please don’t be disheartened if your blog didn’t win. There are lots and lots of others that deserve this prestigious trophy, but I wanted to restrict myself to eight otherwise I’d be dishing out over twenty awards, and I don’t think the blog police would take too kindly to that…
