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...

I'm sort of lying on my bed now, on my side with my legs curled up, and I have my duvet wrapped against my shoulders.
And it's just so comfortable. <3
When I was sort of crying yesterday, I was lying in my bed and I had my duvet wrapped around me and my bedside light on, and it was so cosy and so comfortable. <3 And I mean, I was like, crying my eyes out and I felt like total shit, but amongst that I just kept noticing how comfortable I was and how cosy my bed was, and although the entirety of the experience itself wasn't nice the feeling of comfort really was. :)
. . .
Ahem yes rambling.
*goes back to biology*
(today has been one of those days where I deleted 5 comments before posting one.
I need to change the covers on my duvet. I am having dinner just now though.
and watching Poldark. then I shall need to do homework. )
(I love my duvet)
@Jai: :) :)
@Keiron: *nods*
@Chloe: :) :)
I think everyone shoudl have a duvet.
or, if duvets don't work for someone, they should have something that gives them the same level of comfort that duvets give people who derive comfort from duvets.
(*sneezes*)
( what else would you have if not a duvet...? you get those weird beds with just a sheet I suppose. )
@Keiron: No, I mean, some people maybe don't feel happy by being comfortable in bed with a nice duvet. So in that case they should haev something else that makes them happy. :)
(Idk, it's just that some people say "everyone should have a teddy" or "everyone should have someone to hug" and I'm just like '-_-' because I require neitehr teddies nor hugs. And tehre will be some people who don't require duvets, and they should have something else, like teddies or hugs or machine guns or whatever rocks their boat.
. . .
I wasn't speaking literally with the machine gun thing.)
(I love duvets.. especially double duvets. You can cocoon yourself in them.
Bless you Chloe!)
I'm thinking too deeply again. -_- Sorry.
(I could never have just a sheet ...
*watches upsetting RSPCA ad* )
@Jai: Mmh, yeah, my duvet is a single, and I'm always coming out the other end of it. :P There's always sort of gaps where cold air gets in.
Double duvets are wonderful. :)
(@star nuh! Don't apologize! Also one day!
@Chloe same.. *cuddles Chloe*)
(I have a double
Thanks Jai ^.^)
(*cuddles*?
( Ohhhhh but all of those things sound amazing :D )
(Double duvets are amazing. I love them.)
(You're welcome *nods*)
( My bed is super comfortable and is a double :D )
(I don't get how people can have water beds?
I mean... Have you SEEN edward scissorhands? What if you pierce it?!)
@Jai: . . .
*has a lot of thoughts I want to express here to do with shit&stuff* but I can't really express any of them so just hugs*
:) :) Yes! One day!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Haha you'll be lucky if I actually manage to get tehre but y'know. XD
@Keiron: To you, maybe. Different people are wired differently and have different emotional needs. :)
*shit&stuff = upgraded version of stuff&things
@Chloe: XD
Sometimes I wish I had a double duvet, but like, I love my bed the way it is.
My bed is a nice place.
:)
(I do keep spilling stuff on it though. Tea, glue, ink . . .)
(I'd be terrified of being in a water bed!!!
*HUGS star back* I have faith in you arriving safely! As, I'm sure, does Soph/draggie!)
(Ohhhh I could really go for a hot chocolate right now.. Hmmm.. I'll get one in a bit.)
@Jai: :) :) Thank you. :) That makes me feel a bit better. :)
I'm not sure Darcie thinks I can make my way to Meadowhall on my own . . .
( I mean who doesn't love huggles from the person they like/love ect ect ?
who doesn't love being all cosy and warm and wrapped up in covers
who doesn't love shooting the people that tell them to get uncomfy from the bed :P )
(*dog is on my lap*
*cant go anywhere*)
@Jai: Haha we can buy hot chocolate from our common room now. :)
I'm getting into the thought pattern I had yesterday when I was really irrational and was crying for five hours, but I'm not upset so . . . I should be fine . . .
*frowns*
*watches self carefully*
@Keiron: Some people won't like any of those things. And that's okay. Diversity is cool.
(Darcie is wrong! You're too amazing to get lost *fingers crossed*
Oh! We have to remember to try get a selfie with the three of us!)
@Jai: *laughs* Thank you. :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
That helps. :)
Yes!!!
(*watches celebrity juice*)
( does that also go for us 3 if you manage to come up Jai :P )
@Keiron: I can't answer for Jai, but I shoudl think that the more Blogland selfies get made the better. :)
I should start coming to this place more foten because this place is nice. *nods* *frowns*
. . .
But then again I should ALSO do homework. XD
(I want to meet you guys *sighs* I'm just so far away...)
@Chloe: :( :( :(
Next year I'll probably be going around looking at unis (I have no idea which uni I want to go to), so that might provide opportunity to meet up with quite a few of you. :)
(@star you're welcome :)
@K OBVIOUSLY xDDD I'm not usually a selfie person but I need blogland selfies!!!
@Chloe I'm going to try meet Rhos in the 6 week holidays next year, maybe I could try meet you and Jack too?)
(I am hopefully going to London South bank UNi next year ^.^)
(That would be awesome Jai ^.^)
@Chloe: Cool. :) :)
(@Chloe yeah :) Just hold on xD I'll see you eventually!)
( I'm not till i'm on someone elses phone then I just pull all the faces :P )
(I hide from pbones xD)
@Jai: XD Me too.
Except not always very effectively because I'm unobservant. XD
What Darice does is she waits until I put my phone down near her without turnign the screen off, and then she picks it up without my knowledge and takes a ton of selfies and posts them on WhatsApp . . .
(Hmmm this youtuber just followed me on twitter ...
I'm really impatient XD I wanna meet you!)
(And who are you, the proud lord said,
that I must bow so low?
Only a cat of a different coat,
that's all the truth I know.
In a coat of gold or a coat of red,
a lion still has claws,
And mine are long and sharp, my lord,
as long and sharp as yours.
And so he spoke, and so he spoke,
that lord of Castamere,
But now the rains weep o'er his hall,
with no one there to hear.
Yes now the rains weep o'er his hall,
and not a soul to hear
:P GOT
@Jai I don't know why... selfies that take up space on someone else's device are fun. )
(@Chloe give me tiiiiiiime! It costs loads to get to Wales!!!)
(I know I know! )
Sorry for poofing!
Hello, everybody!
(Headache is killing me slowly from the inside.)
( Hello Kas. ibuprofen ? )
(Hello Kas! Rest!)
(Let me save up then xD
Kassy! *cuddles!* Need to meet you at some point too.)
(Awwwwkay)
( Dearer than Scotland Jai ? :P
so many things are ifs in my mind ifs could become why nots if only I had money lol )
(xD good girl.)
@Kas: Screen brightness right down and painkillers. :)
(Well if I get married you guys are invited! )
(@K they're both expensive!)
(@Chloe good!)
( *cough* *cough* I can't speak for the other half but i'm pretty sure ditto. :P )
@Chloe: Haha yes I'm sure I could make that because people tend to really go all out to get to weddings. :)
^@Chloe&@Keiron
Wellllllllllllllll . . . I don't believe in marriage and even if I did the likelihood of me getting married would be pretty slim, so . . . don't expect em to be inviting you guys to a wedding anytime soon. XD
*me
(You never know star *.^)
@Chloe: You do never know.
I hope I don't get married, though . . . I don't like the sound of it at all. -_-
(For me personally, that is. I have nothing against anyone else getting married if that's what they want to do. :))
(I'm feeling better than this morning but I keep sneezing!!!)
@Jai: Maybe you should be the one with Chloe's display name. :P
( we're both quite fond of the idea I'm pretty sure.
they are a lot of money though.
Hence I need a job like now please lol ... *gets on knees* Oh Father that art in heaven above please just let me win the lottery. Oh Lucifer that art beloth my feet help god help me win the lottery and all you other gods too norse, greek any of you who will listen. I need income lol
yes that is what searching for a job feels like to me.)
(Hehe my name is what it is because jack says when I smile I look like a sneezing puppy)
I am resting. I have taken ibuprofen. Screen is set to low brightness. *nods*
*hugs everybody* Thanks...
@Jai We all need to meet at some point. *nods*
Also m&m's are far superior to skittles!
@Kas: :) :)
NO
SKITTLES BEAT ALL
@Keiron: Ever think that God isn't answering you beacsue you're praying to Lucifer? :P
(*hugs Kas back *
prefers skittles because they are always a constant you know they taste good, whereas with m and m's you can get peanut ones or not good chocolate ones or the best crunchy ones but you don't know which is which until you bite making skittles better in my mind)
( I need to pray to them all, no one answers. )
(*HUGS kas back*
M&M's FTW!!!)
*hugs back*
Tanya: M&M's have peanuts. Skittles forgot to put the peanuts in!
(Peanutless M&M's ftw!)
(Naww. Sathron is laid on my chest and has casually rested her head under my chin.)
( *hates peanuts* hence doesn't like peanut m and m's
*likes crunchy m and m's* they're like maltesers but better because even on a hot day they will not melt over your hand)
(Omg! Found this girl who went to my school on YouTube!)
(@Chloe wow! Cool!
Rp?)
*shrugs*
*wonders why Chloe likes jump scares*
(Bloodrush me assumes . Release of endorphins )
(Okay Jai ^.^)
I assume it's about the emotional experience. I could go on a rant about tha tbut I'm not going to. :)
I do like peanut butter adn salted peanuts, but I'm not too fond of peanut M&Ms. Also, I like Skittles better than chocolate-filled sweets. I've not tried these crunchy ones you guys are mentioning. :P
Skittles are just beautiful and they taste wonderful. :P
(*hides in fear*)
Erica: *spots Felix*

Erica: *approaches with her*
Have we met before?

Ryzsyxn: We're grown ups now dad! I'm not being paired up! I love Abbey.. And Lilith has Tock or Tick or whoever it is she has.

(Hi draggie.
Nos da Chloe.)
k
anyone?
(*cries* falling up the stairs hurt! *poofs*)
(+tosses rights to next person*)
Hello hello is there anybody
It's cold and it's lonely welcome to my party
I wanna know if anyone's listening
Can you hear the sound of my sanity drifting
Far away from anywhere I have ever known
If I have everything why do I feel so alone
Don't know where to go and time's evaporating
I've been a little obsessed about it lately
I've been all alone and feeling kinda crazy
Someone come for me
No matter what I say there ain't nobody listening
Been thinking to much, nothin makes sense and
Everybody says that it rains in the beginning
But it's always storming
I know I know I'm the one to blame for it
Will it go away if I say that I'm sorry
I dedicate to solitude, rejection and sadness.
(*cough* not good *cough*
Why would you dedicate to that? Why promote the idea of negative emotions?)
I am not promoting it. I am just deding. It makes virtually no difference.
I've been trying. trying so hard to feel happy even though everything's going wrong. Nothing the way i want it to. That's why i've been having mood shifts lately. I keep fighting it, but it's an endless battle. Happiness cannot win unless there are drastic changes.
(You're supposed to dedicate to something important ... )
these things are very important to me.
(You have to keep fighting )
i've been incapable of staying happy for long periods of time lately. And it's getting shorter and shorter. Eventually, i will have no will to be happy.
(*poofs*)
