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...

Felix: oh, okay then
Eira; I... Don't know *looks at Cole and mark* any ideas?
I am gonna ded to...well...maybe possibly getting better results than i expect? ^_^
(Fera xDD)
Kiana: *yawns*
Mark: *shrugs*
(what, jai? :P XD)
fera(kiana): So...we're staying here on the floor? *smiles*
Kiana: *shakes head*
*nudges Fera towards the bed*
I don't know I am what should be considered good. [smiles]
This would look realer, if I knew if the thing that keeps me happy was happy.
fera(kiana): nope, i am staying where you're sleeping *smiles*
Cole: I like the name Abby... But im they are yours mark
(@Morse what makes you happy?)
Kiana: *glares slightly*
Mark: Abby works.
A person... that has been very distant today which scares me.
fera(kiana): *smiles at her*
(*nods and hugs Morse* I'm sure they're okay..?)
Kiana: *pushes him towards the bed again*
fera(kiana): *doesn't move, and wraps arms around her*
Felix: *yawns* you two lovers can share the bed if you want *siys up*
Eir; the eldest can be Abby then *smilrs* any other ideas ?
I know they are fine, well I hope they are fine... they replied an hour ago roughly... but I mean [sighs] I must just be clingy.
Kiana: *frowns at the term 'lovers'*
Mark: *stay silent, waiting for Cole to say something*
(@Morse it's okay. I know what it's like to need someone else to lean on. I know what it's like when they aren't there.)
fera(kiana): *smirks at the word lovers:p*
Hello, Chloe, Jaimie, Morse and Fera.
(Hi kas.)
hey kas ^_^ :)
Kiana: *looks confused*
*tilts head at Felix, wanting to know what he means*
It doesn't matter, I don't want to burden them for my own benefit, they deserve to be happy.
Hello Kas.
@Morse that's kinda what friends are for. To help each other.
Well, most friends.
(I'm off to bed now
Nos da
Hey kassy!)
(That's how I think too. They vehemently disagree.)
(That's how I think too. They vehemently disagree.)
Good night, Chloe.
(Nos da Chloe..
*might also sleep*)
I would offer to be your friend but i'm sure you don't want that... I only have about 3 people I think I can call friend.
(@Morse you would be sorely mistaken.)
(we can continue jai, if u want to :) )
I am sure you're an ok, if not good person :)
Goodnight Inky.
I could add you to my list of friends if you wish Silente... let me just check if there is space on my contact list [laughs dust somehow coming out of his phone]
you could ass me as well, if you want :)
add XD
(*rolls eyes at Morse, smiling* call me Jai, everyone else does. And I don't think making friends works as easily as just adding a name to a list. I'm fairly certain it's more of a connection thing. To do with caring?)
[nods] ... what if I told you that I consider most of you friends anyway as you know me... I just meant irl... I care, I think.
I almost forgot, I have loads of people on the blog added on my Skype,
But if anyone doesn't have me, you can add me!
emerald.melody
Just thought I'd add that :)
Hope everyone is well xx
(@Morse you're already my friend I've decided *nods and smiles*
Hi/bye Emmy!!!)
(jai, wanna continue? :) )
(@Fera it'd be unfair without Chloe?)
[nods] thank you... I believe I must retreat... hopefully other me is your friend too [smiles]
So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, good night
(meh, i continued another rp without her :P plus it's not really like felix played a big role, but your choice :) )
(Farewell Morse.
@Fera Mmm..)
(your choice ^_^)
(Don't put that kind of pressure on me!!!)
(wel, i am not pressuring you, you can decide now or later...I am just saying, it's your choice becuz i am fine either way :) )
(Hmph. You decide.)
(*sighs* co...ntinue :D )
(Okay. What last happened?)
(wanted me to go to the bed, but i won't, basically )
Kiana: *pushes him at the bed, growling quietly*
fera: *lays still, and wraps his arms around her again, smiling*
Kiana: *huffs, squirming*
fera: *there's a warmth going through fera's palms as he wraps his arms around her*
Kiana: *glares at him*
fera: *smiles at her with the same chill, happy expression*
Kiana: *huffs*
*squirms more, nudging him towards the bed still*
fera: if you want me to sleep in the bed, come and sleep with me on the bed *smiles*
Kiana: *huffs on his face*
fera: well i am staying where you are *smiles, caressing her face gently*
*rolls online*
Might not be here long. Need to find sleep and such.
Kiana: *rolls eyes, continuing to squirm*
*might be here, might not*
Congrats to the winner. *nods*
(*hugs A*)
*hugs back*
Hey... How are you, Jai?
*er, here*
(I'm mostly okay. You?)
Hi Star.
Back to usual, I guess. *shrugs*
(Is that good or..?)
*shrugs again*
It's just meh.
'Meh' is a lovely word . . .
*hugs A*
*nods and hugs Star back*
*sighs*
The problem with spending a week with other relatives is that they'll probably notice if I don't come to eat... I tried eating more in front of them, but then I feel like vomiting... My stomach shrunk, and I don't think stuffing it will make it any bigger without feeling sick.
@A: :/ I think you need to work up to it. Gradually start eating more until your stomach's grown to a socially acceptable amount.
I'm not sure if you can mange that in the timeframe, though (I don't know what the timeframe is).
fera(kiana): *stays like that, smiling*
Timeframe? Visiting for a week. I don't know if I can either. Even just a small amount of food makes me full...
Speaking of feeling sick... My stomach's hurting...
*hugs Morse*
Who hates you?
*hugs Morse . . . . . . .*
If you want to talk about it, I'm here, adn if not, I'm also here.
(er, you can also contact me by email if you don't feel like revealing your identity fi you DO want to talk about it.)
@A: :/ That sucks . . .
*hugs morse*
Morse, you can talk to us. Please, maybe it'll help you feel better?
*nods at Star* Yeah...
Oh hey Fera.
hey star :) *hugs*
no I can't it doesn't matter i'm overreacting... sorry
It's okay to overreact about things sometimes. And if it's causing you to feel that way, then it does matter. *hugs* Don't apologize.
@Morse: Just because you're overreacting doesn't mean it doesn't matter.
I'm one of the most irrational people I know and today I was stressed out because fo my drawing (I don't even know what was stressy about it) and I was like crying and hyperventilating, and there wasn't a real reason but that didn't mean my emotions weren't real.
(In case you're wondering I'm fine now, and used a self-example because it was the first to my head.)
*nods*
That's a good example, still.
*hugs Morse . . . . .*
You aren't the problem either . . .
@A: :) Thanks.
goodbye morse *hugs*
(*hugs Morse tightly* Sleep. Trust me. Sleep. Everything is worse at night. I hate nights. Go to sleep. Please?)
(*hugs jai* replied to rp ^_^ )
*hugs Jai*
(@Fera I know.. I'll reply tomorrow morning, Kay? When I'm not half asleep and frowning at my keyboard for being blurry.)
*hugs everyone*
(*hugs A* Everyone is a hypocrite in some way. Its fine.)
(ok jai, are you going to sleep soon? :) *hugs* *hugs A*
(@Fera probably.)
(@Fera correction; I should, but people here need love and help? I want to help..)
*hugs Jai again*
(*hugs star back*)
(that is really nice of you :) so u gunna hug me? :p )
*hugs people back, and hugs again*
I think I'm okay now. Still got a stomach ache, but can't do much about that. *shrugs*
And Morse probably did leave already... I hope they won't cut...
Yeah, I also think Morse left . . .
*cries in the corner*
*offers Fera another hug*
Is it because Jai's not hugging you back, or something else?
right now, it's because jai's not hugging me back :p *hugs a*
Ah. Okay then. *nods and hugs back*
She's probably gone to sleep. :P
Which I should be doing . . .
but i hugged her 3 times before and she didn't hug me back *cries*
Can't sleep, Star? Was that also your comment?
Yeah, I double-posted. :P
I haven't tried to sleep yet; I was posting a thing online. Just finished, so, yeah, packing up my stuff now. :)
Well, Jai did seem tired... Probably hard to focus on the little details like that. Not saying your hugs weren't important to her, but it's easy to forget to respond to them.
Cool, Star. What kind of post, if I may ask?
*nods at what A said*
she hugged star back immediately...so yeah, my hugs are probably nothing more than a nuisance to her, even if she didn't mean to let me know ^_^
@A: A posty kind. On AVEN.
(Sorry, getting pretty tired now. :P That's why my sentences are blunt. Nothing to do with you. Sorry if I come off as, um, anything negative.)
Some of your comments had other things inside, not only a hug. Jai probably noticed Stars because it was the only thing in the comment.
@Fera: I really don't think that's true.
My comment contained nothing but me hugging her. Easy to notice. Your hugs came with other bits of sentence that would possibly have drawnher attention more. I know with comments like that my brain often interprets it as the bit of sentence in an affectionate format and I forget that the affectionate thing is in a format that needs reciprocration.
(once again, blut because tired. Not personal.)
It's fine, Star. You don't sound very blunt. Just natural, kinda.
*blunt
@A: DAMMIT! You explained what took me a paragprah to explain in one sentence, and much clearer too.
I bow to your skills. :P
@A: Ah, good. :)
Heh. Was just about to point it out that you said basically the same thing I did.
But it's okay, because yours had more detail. *shrugs* I think it works?
hehe, well perhaps, i hope what you guys are saying is true ^_^ :)
*nods at Fera* It probably is. Especially when people are tired or in a down mood. We tend not to respond to everything a person puts in a comment, but we don't mean to.
i know ^_^ *hugs A*
*hugs back with a small smile*
Good, then perhaps tomorrow, Jai will be more responsive to your hugs.
*hugs back smiling* perhaps ^_^ :) thanks ^_^
No problem. :)
I think I have to go now. Sorry.
ok A, see you later :) *hugs*
Haha.
Time zone differences. So silly.
*thoughts are overloading*
Still the waters of your mind :p
But in all seriousness, cool it. How can you hope to better anything from a panicked and therefore irrational standpoint?
*hums a short, low note, more like a sigh*
I'd like to apologize for how I(and Scarlet, though the apology is coming from me only) were acting last night.... I'm sorry.
Having a panicked and irrational mind doesn't make anything better... Though for some(me included), it's hard to completely stop having a thought overload. Especially when it comes to emotions. That makes the thoughts get way worse.
...
(*hugs lavy before going to work* feel free to email me)
(SH*T FERA IM SO SORRY FOR NOT HUGGING YOU BACK IT'S NOT THAT I DON'T CARE IT'S MORE LIKE I COULD BARELY READ A THING ON MY SCREEN LAST NIGHT! I'M SO SORRY!!! *HUGS HUGS HUGS BACK!*
@Lav&scar no need to apologize.)
*hugs Lav*
*acknowledges the hugs*
The thing is, all the thoughts that make me overthink just keep repeating. Like a wave, rolling over and over in my head. So even if I talked about it, it's not like that will stop me from thinking... And it even gets tiring for me to have these thoughts over and over. Like, I want them to just stop, but even if I manage not to think about it for a bit, they usually just come back anyway. Then if I /don't/ think about it, my mind just feels numb and void of emotion... Well, mostly.
... *decides to take a walk and listen to music*
...
*hopes the sun's low enough not to cause more of a problem to her already burnt arms*
... Too much time on my hands and nothing to do with it...
*leaves for that walk*
@Lav: *hugs* Don't worry. I have those moments sometimes . . . .
And I don't know about you, but for me, they always fade away after a while. :) You jus thave to keep on living and waiting for them to go away.
The sleep helped... a little.
*hugs Morse& Good.
(A little is better than not at all.)
(Hey)
(Hi Jack.)
Mybe here but maybe not for overly long. Also, wbd, drawing.
(So near to being done now!)
*is back*
The walk helped... A lot, actually. It was really nice.
(*hugs Tama and Lav and scar*)
@Lav: :) Good. *hugs*
*hugs Jai and Star back*
*suddenly notices the skin around her shoulder is peeling*
Ick! I bet it feels something like what Hollow Men are made out of! D:
*adding- the dead skin, it's peeling in strips*
*hugs hugs hugs jai back* it's ok :D hey everyone
*gulps*
(That moment when a male forty something year old ex gymnast says you have a soft voice O.o)

I bet you are good at replicating ;P XD

*hugs k* it's gunna be fine :P
Mayday! Mayday!
The ship is slowly sinking
They think I'm crazy but they don't know the feeling
They're all around me,
Circling like vultures
They wanna break me and wash away my colors
Wash away my colors
Take me high and I'll sing
Oh you make everything okay, okay, okay
'Kay, Okay, Okay
We are one in the same
Oh you take all of the pain away, away, away
'Way, away, away
Save me if I become
My demons
I cannot stop this sickness taking over
It takes control and drags me into nowhere
I need your help, I can't fight this forever
I know you're watching,
I can feel you out there
Take me high and I'll sing
Oh you make everything okay, okay, okay
'Kay, Okay, Okay
We are one in the same
Oh you take all of the pain away, away, away
'Way, away, away
Save me if I become
My demons
Take me over the walls below
Fly forever
Don't let me go
I need a savior to heal my pain
When I become my worst enemy
The enemy
Take me high and I'll sing
Oh you make everything okay
We are one in the same
Oh you take all of the pain away
Take me high and I'll sing
Oh you make everything okay, okay, okay
'Kay, Okay, Okay
We are one in the same
Oh you take all of the pain away, away, away
'Way, away, away
Save me if I become
My demons
Take me high and I'll sing
Oh you make everything okay, okay, okay
'Kay, Okay, Okay
We are one in the same
Oh you take all of the pain away, away, away
'Way, away, away
Save me if I become
My demons
very noice song, especially the nightcore version :P :)
(star, you poofed ;_; )
I've learned that Asgardians are very hard to please, until they take you to their realm, and you learn not all of them are as messed up as Lorelei.
I told you Asgard is awesome. Silly Midgardian.
I know, Zan, you aren't as bad as I thought. Will you ever take me again?
Depends.
*laughs*
I may not want to.
((What he and I may be a thing....))
I promised you I wouldn't hurt you, and I stick to my promises.
((They were supposed to guess! Oh well.))
@Fera: Yep. Sorry. Skin picking.
@Keiron: :/ Good luck.
(*looks sarcastically shocked* NEVER!.... :P Hi Zaf :P and Grant and yeh probably Fera... doesn't stop me worrying... i'm going to look like a plonk walking around in a suit I mean I a fabulous looking plonk but still a plonk)
I know. Okay look I'll take you back tonight. Just....I can't always be by you. You're HYDRA and I know Fitz would find a way to hurt me....
((Hi!))
star: It's ok :) gonna go vacuum clean now, be back ^_^
Problem is I doubt FitzSimmons would hurt you. Simmons maybe, but they don't know, do they?
((Hello there.))
*waves a hi to everyone except Fera* *waves a bye to Fera*
Wbd. Drawing.
(*waves back to star* How's the drawing going ?
)
Hey, Zaf? What happened to Thor and Zan? And Loki?
But yay for you two. :P
*sighs as yet again, she has to take a shower late due procrastinating watching YouTube videos*
You can answer, I'll see it later.
*poofs before there's a repeat of last night*
:/ *hugs Lav*
@Keiron: :) Good, thanks! :) Almost done. :)
I'll probably set it as my profile picture when I am done. :P I'm pretty proud of it.
