Spirit Lake: The Winner

Wow.

Okay, that was one of the most fun competitions I've run so far. The Exquisite Corpse competition is shaping up brilliantly— the standard on display is just mind-boggling— but the Spirit Lake contest has just been fun from start to finish.

So here's what I did.

I collected all of the names of the people who entered, both here on this Blog and on Twitter, and I divided them into bundles. I made sure that each and every one had a valid reason for why they should be a video game character. Some of these reasons made sense. Some were just odd. Some were VERY odd. There are people, both Minions and Ronda Rousey fans, who are just unsettling. I'm not entirely sure how their brains work— if indeed their brains work at all.    

To give you a hint of what I've been dealing with, here are a few reasons you people gave. "Because of my neurax worms." "Because I like pie." "Because I'm short.""Because I've watched Robot Wars.""Because I have a psychic elephant.""Because I have a need for speed.""Because I'm not very smart (which will make the player feel better about themselves).""Because I am Dr Who.""Because I sometimes think that I'm the only human being in the world. The rest of you are all aliens.""I would make an awesome video game character because I already AM an awesome video game character.""Because I am actually Lakota (the Spirit Lake people are my Dakota relatives)."

So I divided you all up, and those of you who entered multiple times got your names put into as many groups as possible. From each of these groups, a winner was chosen. The winners were then put into a hat.

(Not an ACTUAL hat, since I don't own one, but a METAPHORICAL hat.)

(Okay, fine, I wrote all your names on a sheet of paper and I let my cat walk on it, and the closest one to where her tail touched down was the winner.)

And sooooo... without further ado... the winner is...

Willow Kowalski!

Yayyyyyyy Willow! The only thing I know about Willow is that she's five years old (so, er, she can wait a few years before she starts reading my books) and she's a Ronda fan... It's a lovely prize, and I can't think of anyone it'd make happier.

Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately, as it would drive me insane-r) there aren't any crowded elevators in my bedroom, so I can't do that! XD

Lonely snow how would you like to be the official chief executive of finding

DEDICATION CONTINUATION/CONCLUSION

Zaf, you're really... [uses a word that isn't "awesome"] Incredible. You rock, and you're another Ameriminion, and I hope Derek doesn't kill you off in Book 8.

Taia, you're amazing. Okay, for starters, "Taiaceratops" is really clever. I don't think I mentioned it at the time, but it is! Also, you're really nice to everyone, and amazing and wonderful and oh, dear, I have "Istanbul" stuck in my head.... No, Constantinople, now it's Istanbul, not Constantinope, been a long time gone, Constantinople, why did Constantinople get the works? That's nobody's business but the Turks'!
...sorry, I got a bit sidetracked there. Anyway, you're fantastic! And I used the internet thesaurus and didn't mention you being awesome once! :-P

Also to Missy, you're awesome, crazy and definitely a ninja! [nods] Oh, wait, I used awesome. Gah! Well, replace awesome with epic or fabulous or fantabulous or fantasmariffic or something like that! They're all accurate! :-)

Okay, I am falling asleep now, so I also ded to Dau, Rhydian, Eden, Cali, Snow, Brad, Misti, Misty, Mist, Lav, Luna, Charisma, Kes, Skyril, [insert your name here] and everyone I'm forgetting to mention by name (so sorry! It's becauee I'm falling asleep, not because you're anything less than perfect!)

Also to Mycroft and his Umbrella, #ChaseForBook9, One Direction, Little Mix, and other awesome stuff/people.

AND TO SLEEP

Snow said...

Buy A Balloon, Blow It Up, Call It Bob, And Cry When It Pops!

Snow said...

okay, thats just AWFUL: Convince a small boy that lipstick looks pretty on him.

Snow said...

Have a serious conversation with your friend about a carrot for 15 min. DO IT!!!

Snow said...

Walk into a store with a friend. Ask what the date is, then scream it worked and run out.



Put your half eaten sandwitch on ebay and see who wants it.

Snow said...

smile-worthy: Go into a clock store and ask what time it is.

Mistical Future said...

SNOWYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *Tacklehugs*

How are you?

Snow said...

Hug your best friend and say "You're huggable.".



Purposely trip in front of somebody and act like your in pain until they help you.



Walk around school selling free potatoess.

LOOK AT IT

Mistical Future said...

Hi Eden
How are you? *hugs*

Snow said...

Figure this out: the following sentence is true. the previous sentence is false.

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Grand thanks.
On my summer holidays.
Which since I'm in Ireland means sit inside until you get one day of good weather then compete with the rest of the poulation for a parking space at the beach.
#ChaseForBook9

Uilliam Kinsella said...

That's like something that eats it own tale to survive.
Like oroboros.
The second sentence nullifies the first I'm guessing.

Uilliam Kinsella said...

#ChaseForBook9

Snow said...

i must go!!!!

GOOD BYE ALL!!!

*snow, AWAY!!!*

*egresses*

Mistical Future said...

Well that sounds like here but there's a lot of space and a lot of good days! but that's what most expect in Australia. but it's winter here now soooo not many people are going to the beach!

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Well it's summer here and it's breezy and overcast so it's not shorts weather.

Mistical Future said...

yeah that's what I guessed

Uilliam Kinsella said...

We slept out in one of our fields in a tent last night thank god it didn't rain.

Mistical Future said...

that's good! I'm going camping this weekend ... it's going to be really cold!!!

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Everyone else is still asleep I walked back to the house and unlocked the door at that's my story up to now.

Mistical Future said...

Jophiel said...

Hey Eden...
*Goes and mopes in corner*
Its all my fault. It's all my fault. Every time it's my fault. Why don't you get it through your thick skull Dannielle? Why? Because I'm a bloody idiot.

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Hey death whats wrong?
#ChaseForBook9

Jophiel said...

Life is wrong.

Jophiel said...

There's only so much I can take of it...
*Sighs*
Life is a jerk.

Uilliam Kinsella said...

My brothers a jerk and so is most of my school life but it goes on.

Jophiel said...

Only known you've been high when your feelin' low.
I'm always low. Beat that.
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow.
Even with the sun out I still miss it. I can't feel it.

Jophiel said...

But making your little brother, friends, mum cry? That's just too far. I make everyone cry.
*Lays back on the ground*
Someone kill me. Please. They can have all my possessions.

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Crying isn't the worst.
Having them shout and hit and then you trying to choke them that's when it's the worst.
But you have to get back up and start again.
Have you Aussies heard of kodaline.

Jophiel said...

No...

Mistical Future said...

Thing are good her Ed except I have three exams to go! AH I hate exams

And no I haven't heard of kodaline ether

Hi Death ... what did you do to make her cry? ...

Jophiel said...

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Freeze
Laugh
Smile
Cry
Wonder why
Realize
Part of the story
Shake
Should've seen it
Should've known
Should've dreamed it
Should've blown
All the sadness away in one gasping, rasping breath
I woke with the tears on my eyes,
As if in my sleep I was there, in the guise of a whisper, a shadow in the air
It was a dreamless night, I wake to see
More pain I cannot help.
It makes me want to sleep forever
As if that's not what I've been doing all weekend, anyway

Star Inkbright said...

HELLO!!!!!!!!!

Wbd, homework. :(

But I may be able to listen to music with this homework, so that would be good. I'm not sure. I'll experiment.

But I have to go comment on Death's blog before that, though.

I got my phone confiscated today! The Head of Year Seven confiscated it because I was on it in the corridor (in the lunch queue). Everyone is always on their phones in the lunch queue and the only person who accepts it as a rule is her. However, I am an unobservant person so I never notice when she comes up. :P
I've only had it confiscated from there two or three times - she isn't usually there.
Last time she confiscated it, I was on my phone reading comments, and she came up to me and spoke to me, and I didn't hear her (because I am rather selective-attention and can only concentrate on one thing fully at a time, which is why I can't listen to music and read or talk and do work. I was focused on reading and wasn't paying attention to the outside world at all, which I often do when reading things (scratch that, it's way more often than often) so I didn't realise she was standing in front of me talking to me until my friend hit me on the arm), so she thought I was ignoring her. D:
Then whenever she confiscates my phone I start crying even though I'm not upset, because I have odd reactions like that. :P
So I started crying today and it was embarrassing. -_-
When I was little I used to smile whenever I got into trouble (because I reacted like that. Not because I thought it was funny or I was being defiant or because I felt like smiling), so my parents told me over and over to look down when I got told off. :P

Sorry, getting your phone confiscated is probably not a big deal to anyone, but it's a big deal to me because the times I really get in trouble is when I get told off for not paying attention or for not doing my homework.

So this is like The Worst Thing I Have Done In School All Year.

Except it isn't because I wasn't doing anything wrong beacuse it isn't a proper rule, but if it had been a rule, it would be. *Nialldles*

GUYS I FOUND THIS LAST NIGHT

I FORGOT I WROTE IT:

Peeta’s fingers lace together with mine as we walk into the shallower waters of the sea. Ever since I got him back we’ve been working on getting him better at swimming, and he has improved so much more than I ever imagined he would. Annie allows us to stay in District Four with her whenever we want to, so we find ourselves here fairly often.

"Did you see that walrus!?" Peeta asks, half-laughing, when the water is only up to our ankles.
"Walrus?" I frown, knitting my eyebrows together out of confusion. "Just because we were swimming in the sea, does not mean there were walruses, Peeta." I smile, kissing him. "I think you swallowed a little too much salt-water. It's not good for you, you know?"
He frowns at me, "I saw a walrus, though..."
"I didn't... But, you know what I do see?" I grin at him.
He raises an eyebrow inquisitively.
"I see the man I love right in front of me. And I never want to lose him."
"I love you too, Katniss." he says, his lips brushing mine as he speaks. "
I'm about to go to kiss him when he gets down onto one knee even though we’re still stood in the sea and he produces a small box from his pocket, that looks to be completely dry, somehow.
I frown, "What-"
"Katniss Everdeen," he interrupts. "Will you do me the honour of being my wife? For real, not for the Capitol's fun games."
"I..." tears begin to form in my eyes, and I don't know why - shock? Excitement? Fear?
He flips open the box to reveal a small silver ring with only a pearl on it; my pearl, which he gave me in the Quarter Quell arena - I'd recognize it anywhere.
"Yes," I breathe. "Yes!" I repeat, pulling him to his feet, kissing him hard and wrapping my arms around him.

We are so close together that when we kiss we are like one, and are almost indistinguishable. When our lips part, our foreheads keep close together so when one of us speaks, our lips brush the other’s.

Peeta’s eyes seem to study mine as he speaks again, “Real or not real, you’ll be mine for the rest of our lives?”

This answer takes no thought from me, and I smile at him, “Real, without a doubt.” We kiss again, this time more passionately, and I can taste the saltiness from the sea on his lips. This is how it is meant to be, for me, with Peeta being mine and me being his.

HELLO EVERYONE WHO SAID HELLO TO ME! HELLO EVERYONE WHO SAY HI TO ME! HELLO EVERYONE WHO GREETED ME IN OTHER WAYS! HELLO EVERYONE WHO DIDN'T GREET ME FOR REASONS UNKNOWN! HELLO EVERYONE WHO DIDN'T GREET ME FOR REASONS KNOWN! HELLO ANYBODY ELSE!

. . . *frowns* It would have been quicker just to type all your names out . . . THAT'S WHAT I GET FOR TRYING TO BE LAZY. :P

Hey, I was on this inflatable thing with my friend at the swimming pool yesterday, and the first time we went on it, I leaned on this inflatble poley thing stikcing up and it gave way and I fell in and /embarrassment.

None of the little kids were fslling in! :P

And then we were on it for the fourth time, and there was this ball thing sticking up in the centre. An you're meant to go over it. And I'd been over in the previous two times (the first, I'd fallen off before getting to it). But I thought, this time, I'll do it differently and go round it, because . . . I can't describe the feelings exactly, but it was something like, I'm awesome enough to pull it off and I'm better than most off the little people on the inflatable beacuse they're just little, and I'm older than them so can do more stuff.
So I tried to go round it.
And I fell off.
*giggles*
THAT'S WHAT I GET FOR TRYING TO BE CLEVER.
I was just like ohmygoshNOOOOOOOOO because it's embarrassing enough falling off ONCE. *shakes head*
My friend, like a normal person, fell off no times. :P
Then we went on it a fifth time and I tried to be smart again just to obstinately prove I could do it, and I did it and didn't fall off. *nods*

I am good, btw. :)

Should stop talking and get on with homework now . . . D:

MARAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Well, depressing can be awesome, and also, subjects that are deemed depressing are actually serious and about life and death. Or just about life. Or just about death. EIther way, they're important. And the depressing stuff IS the important stuff. I'm talking about depressing emotions here. Cheerfulness is just the emotional fuel to keep you going. *nods*

HEY IENI! :) :) :)
I do not envy you. D:

Me and dad are in town, and we were talking about 1D. Next minute I saw a girl wearing a 1D top, and I was wearing mine. We just smiled knowingly at each other and then high fived each other when we walked by. XD

OH MY GOSH LIKE THAT IS AN INSULT.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, STAR INKBRIGHT ISN'T A NAME???????????
YOU DO REALISE, RIGHT, THAT WHEN I'M A BESTSELLING AUTHOR, RIGHT, I'M PUBLISHING MY BOOKS BY THAT NAME??????????
(Er, say that happens, that is)
OH MY GOSH LIKE WHAT.
I HAVE SEEN BLOGLANDIANS ON GOOGLE+ WITH MORE OUTLANDISH NAMES THAN MINE (seriously, what kind of name is Zathract??? Errrrr . . . no offense. Zathract is a cool name. It begins with Z, so therefore it looks totally awesome. But I bet there are WAY more people called STAR than bloody ZATHRACT), AND I'M THE ONE GETTING A BLOODY EMAIL??????????

Hey, this could be why Google+ has never worked right for me . . . O_O
It never works right. Whenever I try to add someone as a friend, for example, it won't let me. It was grrrrrr. So after trying valiently for a while, I gave up on Google+.

ANYWAY, I AM OFFENDED, GUYS. SERIOUSLY. LOOK AT MY EXPRESSION. I AM OFFENDED. CAN YOU SEE THAT? NO? WELL, FOR FUTURE REFERENCE, THIS IS MY SERIOUS FACE. I MEAN MY OFFENDED FACE. YEAH.
