The 2005 Livejournal Awards.
The new year has arrived, and with the new year comes the new Livejournal Awards. Feast your eyes, dear friends. Because the next one is another year away. Or never. Probably never again.
The categories have changed somewhat from last year. For instance, there haven't been enough recurring theme posts to warrant a category, but there have been enough dream posts by a variety of people to get its own category. Also, there are more nominees cuz it's more fun that way.
You can vote if you want, but it's highly likely that there won't be enough votes, so I'll probably just pick the winners on my own. But vote anyway cuz it's fun.
But that's it. Here they are.
