Last night was really quite the night. If you want the very abbreviated version: Twenty Major is the hot. And I won an award!
Everyone seems to be doing the rounds and shouting out to everyone they talked to at the jam-packed Irish Blog Awards last night. I have no idea how they can do that; I feel like I met absolutely everyone who blogs in Ireland, everyone who’s ever read a blog in Ireland, and everyone who’s ever shagged someone who’s read a blog in Ireland. There were a phenomenal number of people there, and one of the great surprises of the night was that every one of them, with a single exception, was incredibly nice.
The exception is the drunken bastard who kneecapped me with his shitkickers whilst staggering by the bar and didn’t offer so much as a passing “sorry.” Fucker.
I am absolutely chuffed to pieces and so grateful and full of so many things to say, but also so tired. I had four entire hours of sleep last night, and I’m shattered and incomprehensible. I have to go to sleep with my award under my pillow, but I’ll come back tomorrow to dish the dirt!

02.03.2008, 9:44 pmHey! Congrats again, well deserved! Was lovely to meet you last night, and thanks again for your part in the ladies tea party, what a giggle.
02.03.2008, 10:02 pmMy head is really sore today. Ouch! So much fun though!
See you next year!
Well done girl, bloody well deserved, now where’s that quote :-)
02.03.2008, 10:14 pmI believe I was so drunk by the time we met that I actually forgot to say congratulations Sabrina…. soooo… congratulations! :)
02.03.2008, 10:48 pmBegrudged congrats on your award, Sabrina! Your blog design is gorgeous. I know we chatted last night but I’d had so much lemonade by that point I can barely remember it.
What are shitkickers? I must get some.
02.03.2008, 11:37 pmHad a thing, couldn’t go, blah blah. Looks like ye’d a great night, well done on the award. Deserved!
02.03.2008, 11:45 pmWell done- an excellent concoction of design, writing and humor.
03.03.2008, 2:50 amS,
Was nice to meet you very briefly at the end of a long night. Jess says thanks for her 2 tits and a vote cards.
Well done again on d’award. Much deserved (as anyone who has eyeballs can see).
03.03.2008, 2:57 amHey bebbeh. Fab meeting and chatting. We’ll need to hook other halves up to chat about tech crap, while we do fun other things. Like drink heavily, or two glasses of wine, whichever messes ye up first.
03.03.2008, 10:54 amInstead of attempting to stay sober, I think I have to give up drinking entirely. I had four drinks in the course of the entire night, which didn’t end until 3 AM, and I still managed to get drunk. It’s disgraceful.
Anyway, thank you all very much. Truly, I was grateful to win and delighted by all the nice people who took time to offer their congrats. It was a great night!
Sabrina, I loved reading your work. It is an entertaining mixture of contemporary wit, humour and social commentry. Great work indeed. Well done also at winning the award. It is good to get the probverbial ‘pat on the back’ from those who are also skilled in the same areas. To be acknowledged as being clever and accomplished by ones peers is probably the ultimate compliment. Also I have to add, your English language skills are first rate.
