I said the winner would be announced at the end of July but, because the entries kept coming, I kept it open another month. All in all, we had over 800 people entering — some more than once — and picking a winner was NOT easy.
But a winner I did pick. And here, to help me announce, is Ronda, her mom, her sister Maria, and lead artist Justin...
"And the winner is... Brinley Marrs!"
Congratulations Brinley! Your mom put your name forward and told me why she figured you should win, and I agreed! Hailey, your email has now been sent to AnnMaria and they will take it from there.
To everyone else who entered, commiserations — but if it's any consolation, please know that some of your entries made me grin...

«Oldest ‹Older 3601 – 3800 of 4984 Newer› Newest»Celbor: I'm not the food silly... *rolls off the table to the floor and claps his hands two little cloud creatures about the size of a bear walk in* Fredric, Cedric... Dinner! Chop chop!... if any of you have any specific requests give it to Cedric.
Aquila: ... could I hug them?
Swirl: What are they?
Celbor: Miss Aquilia here requests a hug Cedric... *he lumps over heavily for something made out of cloud and picks her up enveloping her in the softest hug shes ever felt* They are nothing really... mindless beings made from the cloud they change and adapt with it. I've not found a use for them other than they seem to be good cooks. Don't forget dessert this time Fredric.
Aqulia: Soooooooft... :)
Swirl: What about Blake?
*Pokes his head out of the shadow on a wall*
Blake is here. Testing to see if I could get here without the cloud thingy so I waited for you to go then focused on finding you instead of this location.
*Steps into the room*
I guess it worked.
Celbor: *The walls turn black and lighting erupts form within the walls from the intruder**cedric continues to hug her but gets smaller a third one emerging from inside him to help with the food. *cedric grunts* I dunno why don't you ask them what they want... you know what I want.
Aquila: Soft. :3
Swirl: ... those hugs seem to be great. 0o
Um... pizza?
Yikes!
*Merges into the floor, becoming a shadow*
*Pokes his head out for a moment during a break in the attack*
This crazy cloud house is attacking me!
Aquila: 0.0... no wait... to comfy to be shocked... :3
Swirl: 0o Riiiight... one's attacked by lightning, the other... cuddled into being calm?
Aquila: I'm all normal! ... sooooft... :3
Swirl: -arches eyebrow-
Celbor: *Fredric halves in size hearing this and picks swirl up enveloping her in the softest hug* *10 more come through the door and aim cloud spears at Blake*
*they grunt disapproval and want the word before entry is admitted*
Fred did you get that... pizza! *he grunts* .... uhmm what toppings? and Aquilia? *he ignores the intruder as the cloud people things have him under control*
*Pokes his hand out of the shadow holding a piece of paper with the word "Resiance" written on it*
Swirl: .. ham and pineapple... ... so sooooft.. :)
Aquila: .. pepperoni, please. :3
Celbor: *Fred grunts and starts making them* *the cloud people stand down and give blake a hand out of the now white floor again* *one of them invites him with open arms for a very soft hug* There we go :D :P Mr Blake was it? ... what would you like, now that you have properly been admitted.
(Me: What the HECK are those hugs doing to my girls?)
(Celbor: They are releasing endorphins as all hugs do... these are just the comfiest hugs ever.)
*Stands rigidly, arms straight down at his sides*
First off, I would like you to stop touching me. Second, nothing.
*Walks over to Aquila and whispers to her*
These guys are weird...
Aquila: ... yes, but... soooft... :3
Swirl: -permanently smiling-
Celbor: You won't be joining us for dinner? Really it's no problem -smirks- Fredric there... and there is making it to specification.
I don't generally eat meals prepared by people I just met. Or those who shot lightning at me. One in the same, really.
*Gives him a quick glare*
Celbor: I gave a warning ... you didn't heed it... only admittance through the word shall be allowed into this house... the house assessed the threat of no word and tried to get rid of you. It is not my fault you didn't listen to me.
-both girls sigh happily-
Actually I didn't ever hear you say that.
*Glances at the girls*
You two are waaaaaay too relaxed... it's actually kinda creepy.
Celbor: * looks to aquilia and swirl* Did I give a warning about the cloud getting darker and lighting or not?
Aquila: So soft.. :3
Swirl: Very... -nods- -smiles-
Celbor: *claps once and they stop hugging* Did I give a cloud threat?
Frederick *grunts from the kitchen bringing a ham and pineapple 12" pizza along with a pepperoni, bbq chicken and a meat feast pizza extra* *Fred took a guess at the pizza for blake and sits them down at the table*
Ahh food!
Aquila: ... what.. happened?
Swirl: 0.0
Celbor: Food is ready... and Mr Blake here thinks I attacked him because he didn't use the special word.
Aquila: ... you said to fly here, I asked. ... didn't know it's for other modes of transportation.
-looks at the pizza-
-it smells great, but...-
Swirl: ... -thinks like Aquila-
Celbor: I don't know what other kinds of transport there are... I haven't left this place in 100 years. _starts to eat his bbq chicken pizza_
-both girls wait to see if anything strange happens to him-
Celbor: *burps and drinks the red wine Fredrick put infront of him before eating another slice* Good Job Fred!
Aquila: -starts eating her pizza-
Swirl: -still waiting-
*Leans against a wall after checking to see if it'll shoot lighting at him*
Celbor: I don't know how you do it but you manage to make it taste fluffy like a cloud is in my belly Fred!
C* since he said the word, it won't attack him, if he holds his breath whilst leaning he will fall through*
Aquila: 0.0
Swirl: ... -goes to stand with Blake-
Celbor: *finishes his pizza and hiccups a piece of cloud coming from his nose as he giggles*
Swirl: I hope you don't mind, but I'm not really hungry...
Aquila: I'm full already, too...
Celbor: I'm just yanking your chain ... cloud doesn't taste like anything...
( i should sleep .... lol anime will do that to you i guess)
(Already wondered that you had that much time. ^^)
(*Is gonna be awake for hours*
;-;)
(It's half past three in the morning, for me... ^^)
(Yeesh Aquila, get some sleep...)
(... if I end up dreaming of cloud pizzas, someone will be hit with a pillow... >.>
Goodnight. ^^)
(Mum is a moron if she thinks she's stopping me from seeing dad on a Tuesday because she needs me to f*cking play babysitter and is too petty to just let me pick up and babysit Connor then go to dad's.)
<3 ^_^
( SOUP ! yum )
-does not like soups she can see the bottom of the plate through-
-except for pancake soup and Gaisburger Marsch, those are fine-
( this one you can't :P, normally it's made by stewing a gammon slice with water and vegetables and lentils to thicken it then take the gammon out and cut it into smaller pieces for the soup and for dinner )
( this time it was just bacon as all the gammon didn't look good enough)
Gaisburger Marsch , may be done with sliced sausage instead of meat, too.
( basically the same thing :D :P but we use gammon :P )
Thought it sounded kinda similar. ^^
Though, those noodles are special for my region. :P
Have you ever seen/had soup with sliced pancakes?
( Nope...
unless you mean croutons... like little hard pieces of bread)
xD
No, I literally mean sliced pancakes.
Like this , you use a broth and then throw sliced pancakes in and it is NICE. :)
(weird... i'd try it , but weird. )
It's actually good enough to be served outside of southern Germany as well, so there you go. :P
Ooooh, or...
Spaghetti ice cream! :D
The inventor failed to patent it, thinking it wouldn't be worth the effort and money.
Now pretty much every place that sells ice cream has it. ^^
(*mouth waters* that looks amazeballs )
It IS. -grins-
And usually one of the cheaper options, too! ^^
( will find a way to design a building in Germany so that he can go over and taste these things :P hehe)
Ice cream and pizza are usually made by Italians, here. So... they're nice. ;P
(Except if you're silly enough to go for some weird big brand name instead of a small local restaurant. That's your own fault, then, and you deserve to pay too much for mediocre quality. -nodnod-)
(Hai ! )
(Fisch!
Hai is our word for shark. :P)
(Japaner für ja. :P )
(Japanese for yes? Then you need 'Japanisch'. ^^ Japaner is for a male Japanese person. Female would be Japanerin. Something like the language is japanisch. Ahem. ;P)
*curls up on duvet and cries*
(Ich bin ein bisschen rostig.
*hugs star* what's up? )
-hands Star tissues, covers her in another blanket and puts cookies within reach-
What's wrong?
... and where the heck is Dragona when you need him...
-puts some Dragona bait, too-
Mass Effect!
*hugs Keiron back*
*curls in blanket*
*likes blankets*
Eh, everything and nothing is wrong.
Idek.
I think I'll just sit here and cry until I stop crying.
Or go and do some maths whilst listening to music.
That sounds quite good.
-frowns-
You know what you need? You need hugs.
Just that I don't feel qualified, so...
-adds some more bait-
Quarians! Cerberus!
(Or just, you know... email him or so?)
*shrugs* There's little variation in online hugs for me anyway.
Nah, I need maths and music. That'd be comforting . . .
(And yeah, I did)
Hm. -offers a hug, if she wants one, then-
I'll be off for now, work.
Enjoy your maths and music?
Bye K, too. ^^
(Hello ! *realises I have circuit training* good bye!!)
STAR
THIS IS A MANATEE
:) *hugs Aquilia back*
@Lantern: AH

COOL
@Chloe: :) Hi and bye. :_
[Leaves hugs for anyone who wants one]
[poofs to walk to class]
( -takes an hug- :P bye fabi.)
(Every time someone says Germany -which is quite often now- i think it's my name and stop to read it and it's not.
I had a better day at Uni today. My favourite was Exploring Accounting surprisingly.)
( -hugs Germany Jam Jar- :P hehe
I'm glad baby <3:P
I thought you said exploding there and was like kewll! )
:) Bye, Lantern. *hugs*
@Keiron: XD XD XD
*laughs*
Oh dear that cheered me up a bit. XD XD
(:D :P I'm glad...
which part ? :P hehe )
@Keiron: The "I thought you said exploding there and was like kewll!"
I'm just imagining accounts exploding everywhere XD
( I imagined surprisingly exploding accountants :P hehe but yeh :D :P
It could have been the Germany Jar thing too ? *shrugs* )
@Keiron: XD XD
*laughs again*
XD XD
Oh haha, ironically I didn't even notice that and just read it as "Gemmy Jam Jar" until you pointed it out
Haha
Apparently it's not just Gemma who mixes those words up. XD
(hehe :D :P yehh ! i'm funny :P
omg noo the pressure... now I need to be funny again ahhh!!!!!!!)
@Keiron: XD
Germany! :D
;)
(I'm here *pants*)
-is damn glad she doesn't have to do any kind of training-
Hi there! ^^
(How art thou? *dies quietly in corner*)
( best thing all week just happened :D :P baby scared me by showing up after haircut to say goodbye b4 London :P seen her at lunch too but was expecting that, I was in the dark there and got soo happy :D )
(Awwwwwww! That's great k ^.^)
I'm fine, thanks. ^^
K, I just read that thinking you were talking about a real baby.
Until I read the word haircut.
... -holds out a baby doll-
BOOOO!
(*awaits a text from jacj like a puppy awaiting her masters return*)
( I literally didn't think it was her at first I was soo taken aback then just took a second jumped out my chair in loungepants with messy hair and hugged her soo tight :D :D -sighs happily- you'd think I hadn't seen her in forever lol it was 11:45 last I seen her :D :P
not literal scared Aq she knocked on my door a moment after my mum said she was going and I said fine so I thought my mum was coming back then I seen her and was like huh? what ? wait what ? *penny drops* GEMMMMYYYY! *glomps* )
-grins-
People in love are cute. :P
(*hits head against the wall*)
( *stops chloe*)
0.0
-puts pillow between head and wall-
Really now, the poor wall never did anything wrong!
(No *mutters* but I did)
(How?)
It can't be bad enough to justify a concussion...
(My phone didn't notify me that jack text four times since I came back from circuits and he thought I was ignoring him
It's still not notifying me of messages)
That's not your fault, that's your phone acting up.
And by now he knows it, so it should be fine?
-gives cookie-
( *hugs* is it off silent ? )
(Awww Keiron!!! -hugs-)
Hi.
@Chloe My phone notified me I got messages, but wouldn't let me view them a few weeks back :/
Anyways... *hugs everyone*
-hugs Kas back-
Hi! ^^
( HEHE GEMMMY !! _hugs tightly_ _sighs happily _ )
(Hi gem and Kas *eats cookie*
Numb by linkin park is a good song )
Hey, Johanna.
Ieni mentioned she'll be visiting my town, then she disappeared :/
So I probably won't even get to meet her. And why should I? I don't really know her. She's rarely visits these days...
*curls up*
Parents ate my chocolate. I had nine blocks of it, as the expiry date was nine months away, so it should have averaged at one block a month.
And they just went and ate it, when I specifically told them not to.
So now I have to wait 9-10 months to buy more.
*sighs*
I think you might have wanted to because you thought it would be fun?
They... what?
Your parents ate nine blocks of your chocolate? 0.0
I hope you slammed some doors at them. -.-
I mean, they didn't even share it, sometimes eating the whole block all by themselves, knowing it can't be replaced.
That's so selfish...
(*hugs kas* that sounds like my dad with MY icecream... I've eaten a whole tub over the past three days because he would've nicked it)
@Johanna throughout the last 2-3 weeks, yes.
Well, we opened and ate one together. And one is still stashed somewhere, saved for Christmas or my birthday.
But the other 7 were consumed without my knowledge.
-frowns-
My parents leave my stuff alone if I tell them to.
... I just have to make sure they don't forget it's mine. Writing my name on it helps.
... or I keep stuff in my room, like my pistachios right now. ^^
And if I complained loud enough, they WOULD replace something they took off me.
... Kas, your parents should buy you chocolate.
*hugs Chloe*
They were supposed to last nine months. And they've lasted three weeks :/
(That's bad,..
*curls up in the corner*
*is aching so much :-/*)
-gives Chloe a warm cherry-stone pillow-
They are nice. Like warm water bottles, but without the risk to burn yourself or spill water.
@Johanna It's from Estonia. It's irreplaceable unless I go and buy it from there. It's maybe 40% chocolate, with other ingredients (some type of crops, not wheat, though, I don't think) mixed in, which makes it really, really unique.
So they can't just buy me another.
So when they felt like eating some chocolate, they took my irreplaceable chocolate instead of just buying some. And didn't even tell me. Or offer me any.
(*cwtches up to it* thank you ^.^)
*smiles slightly at Chloe*
(*flops into the corner and curls up*)
(*smiles slightly back*)
... -grumbles- -goes to google if Estonian chocolate can be bought online-
They still should, because any chocolate is nicer than no chocolate.
... but don't let them buy you some cheap not nice one. Like, I know there's some brands that taste of nothing much but sugar.. ^^
And yeah, I've never really met anyone from the Blog :c
And meeting Ieni would be too... random. We don't know each other.
(+cuddles Jai * Heya! How art thou?)
-hands another warm pillow to Silente-
*goes to the corner and leans against Jaimie*
*doesn't say anything, leaving the talking to her*
(When I can drive Kas... I wanna meet all of you guys ^.^)
*leans warmly
Estonian chocolate
Admittedly, I never heard about their chocolate before. We have Milka and Ritter, here, and I mainly eat those.. ^^
Lindt can be nice, too. ^^
(*watches Thursday night rock aoke on MTV rocks*
*knows the lyrics to all the sings *)
(Galaxy is my fav... I love having a bit before my tea and biscuits ^.^)
( I would like to meet you guys... whether it happens is another thing entierly )
( I would like to meet you guys... whether it happens is another thing entierly )
(Well I'm going travelling with Jak when we've both finished UNi ...)
I only met Dragona, up to now.
But Sven's pretty high on my 'maybe' list. ;P
(*cuddles Chloe back, hugging the pillow and resting a head againsts kas* Hi. I'm.. emotionally a bit muddled up and physically in pain. My cleft is hurting again, possibly as a sign that I'm by getting ill, and we have no bongella(?) so I've been given calpol.)
(Jack wants to take me to Germany ^.^
I can't help your physical pain but do you wanna speak about your emotional middle Jai?)
(@K I'd like to meet lots of people from the blog..
Rhos, Chloe, Kas, Gemmy, Keiron, Adam.. they're some of the high up ones. I've already met star and draggie/Soph.)
(@Chloe I honestly doubt I can make sense of it but sure, Facebook?)
(Kris your parents are horrible.)
Hm, Germany has a lot of things to see. My federal state alone has like... 1700 castles. Some in ruins, others museums, others universities... ^^
(*hugs gemmy gently*)
( you can hopefully scrub two of those name off want to in December :D :P )
@Johanna *nods*
1. Can't order on that site. It's just a preview.
2. The chocolate itself is rare. It is not representative of typical Estonian chocolate.
*shrugs*
Forget about the chocolate.
(That's awesome ^.^
I'm hoping to meet k and gem and adam if I go to Scotland to visit my cousins)
(I wanna meet the rest of you guys too ^.^
Hmmmmm I'm trying to think how though *frowns*)
Jai... I'm here, too, if you want to talk about it. Emotional pain is... painful. *hugs gently*
(SEE EVERYONE TALKS ABOUT GERMANY A LOT AND IT'S CONFUSING! XD Star i'm so happy you made the same mistake...it looks so similar.
You will hopefully meet me at my birthday. Keiron too.)
( Germany Jam Jar :P <3 hehe
if you come up here i'm sure we could hopefully meet... It would be finding a place depending on where your cousins were)
@Gem no... it's just chocolate.
(*hugs Kas back* I doubt you'll want to talk about some of it..
*nods at gemmy*
*hugs gemmy*)
My dad likes this special type of Cote Dor.
Cote Dor is a brand of chocolate and you can get Cote Dor in most European countries, such as England. However, there is one special typ e(white prauline) that you can only buy in Belgium. Whenever we go abroad in the summer we always have to stop off at a supermarket in Belgium to hunt of this special type of Cote Dor.
This year, my mum pestered my dad into not buying Cote Dor because she thoguht it would be too much hassle.
However, she decided to order this special type of Cote Dor online for him for his birthday.
In the end, it would have bene less hassle to jsut buy it from Belgium. :P It was expensive and she was chasing this parcel all over Europe, haha.
However, she eventually got it. :) :)
You might be able to get it if you hunt around. :)
But - *hugs* :( that really sucks. :( :( It was not nice of them at all. -_- -_-
@Kas Ieni is pretty active on Twitter. If you want, you could talk to her there.
[Not here, almost lunch time]
(Hmmm *tries to think of the place my cousins live*
*hasnt been there since I was one and a half*)
@Fabi Ah, okay, thanks! Also hi/bye!?
-will be distant, watching someone make a 3D model of a car-
(Hey fabi ^.^)
(@Chloe rp before I pass out cause I can't handle my calpol?)
( Well we're near Glasgow if that helps :P )
(Okay Jai ^.^ you start?)
@Star Again, this is super rare. And expensive. I don't have money.
(Hmmm that's it! They like in Kirkcaldy)
Erica: Are you okay..?
()
MrBBWolf: a-sit down, b-both of you.
MN, *blushes€ I I'm fine...
()
Lilith: *sits and pouts *
( AH... lol 1hr 30 drive or 2hr 30 train lol it's out past Edinburgh, we got Edinburgh easy enough was only £9 or something on the bus for both of us)
@Kas: :( :(
Damn . . .
(Gtg phone is running out of charge.)
( bye baby <3 -hugs tightly- )
(Ah I see
We could meet in Edinburgh
Hmmm
Now I need to find a time to visit my cousins...)
Erica: Good.. good..
()
Ryzsyxn: *huffs and sits beside Lilith*
MrBBWolf: Okay.. I don't know who is.. mating with w-who, but you n-need to understand that when you do your t-taking some of their l-life energy..
Ryzsyxn: Dad we know this!
MN; you?
()
Lilith: *mocks a yawn*
( Yeh that'd be cool :D :P just give us a shout if you do obv :P )
(*salutes* I shall ^.^)
Erica: Yeah I'm.. fine.
()
MrBBWolf: This isn't a joke! You t-two need to be responsible! You!
*points at Ryzsyxn*
You've imp-pregnated someone who might n-not even be able to c-carry the child and survive!
MN; good... So what shall we do?
()
Lilith : *grins * he's so irresponsible
Erica: Hmm? Oh. Find someone to.. torment..
()
MrBBWolf: And y-you!
*points at Lilith*
Just because you aren't imp-pregnating people doesn't mean you aren't h-hurting them!
MN, *nods* yes
()
Lilith; *roles eyes* I don't go to the same person twice!
Erica: *nods back*
()
Ryzsyxn: *coughs*Whore!*coughs*
MrBBWolf: that's p-partially good.. I.. I want to take you all to our r-realm.. you two Ch-Chris.
MN: but whom...?
()
Lilith : I am not a whore! *growls*
Chris: *nods* okay
Erica: I don't know.
()
MrBBWolf: L-Lilith, you and your brother wait in the living room.
(would it be a bad idea to pop in and say there's nothing wrong with being a whore)
(nah I think I trust you guys not to have a go at me)
MN: you know this place better than me...
()
Lilith: *rolls eyes and leaves and goes to the living room*
( depends what you mean as whore.
even then i'm not sure I disagree...)
(Hmmmmm okay guys ^.^ )
(Its fine star.)
Erica: Maybe.
()
Ryzsyxn: *also walks out, closing the door behind him*
MrBBWolf: *stares at Chris*
( if someone is a whore and owns it and is proud to be a whore then good, if someone says the word whore and someone else takes offence because they think it's them, then that's their fault and if they don't like that they fit the bill then they should change. )
(person who has sex for money
it's also used as a derogatory term meaning 'woman who has a lot of casual sex', but there's nothing wrong with being one of those, either
in my world, whatever you want to do is always okay so long as you're not hurting anyone)
Heh, being a whore? Dunno, whore is an insult.
Prostitute?
That's legal over here, they get health insurance, pay taxes...
... they made it legal to allow it to the women (and men) to sue people that fail to pay them or harm them. Basically, they made it legal trying to protect them.
Problem is it didn't help much. Many women here get prostituted by their fathers, uncles, husbands, that came with them from some poorer country and make them hand them back all their money.
So, you know... in the end, there's USUALLY something wrong with being one. Not the job itself, but the circumstances.
So, I wouldn't judge a person who works in 'the oldest business of humanity' (actually, some apes do it too. For food.), but I'd usually doubt they are happy with it. =P
MN; where to?
()
Chris; *shrugs^ I don't know
@Aquila: *nods nods with everything you said*
You guys are like 100% more accepting than my real life friends. -_-
