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 4201 – 4400 of 4984 Newer› Newest»well, sorry that i make you sick *shrugs* I make myself sick as well. That school boy sounds like me. I don't want to have a will to fight sadness. I don't see a reason for it. Nothing's going to change. I don't see the end of the tunnel. Only reason i still keep going is to fulfill what i set to be my destiny. Which will take years and years.
(Fine
Be stuck in your ways
Be a self fulfilling prophecy *shrugs*
I don't care )
Good. I don't either.
(You have to MAKE your own happiness sometimes
*poofs*)
I...do...not...care. *shrugs* I am honestly about to stop caring about stuff completely.
(ah stuff it
im still here
what are you but an empty shell if you don't care about anything?)
(*sighs* )
still care about some stuff...but in a passive way. Maybe being an almost empty shell is best in achieving goals.
(fine *shrugs*)
*nods*
(If I were any other man i'd tell you to get over yourself...
I am not any other man though, I am me. Me says that he understands how things can get, me says you have to look at the tiniest bits of happiness and squeezee the happiness from them, make them continue to make you happy, force them to make you more happy than they do. Duvets for example as we were talking about earlier, get inside it warm and cosy wrap it around you wear headphones and listen to some nice music, non depressing... and squeeze. )
(*sews mouth shut*
*prevents words being wasted*
*believes words should only be used on those who deserve them*

thanks chloe.

((Hey, man I'm alive I'm takin' each day and night at a time
I'm feelin' like a Monday but someday I'll be Saturday night
Hey, my name is Jim, where did I go wrong
My life's a bargain basement, all the good shit's gone
I just can't hold a job, where do I belong
I'm sleeping in my car, my dreams move on
My name is Billy Jean, my love was bought and sold
I'm only sixteen, I feel a hundred years old
My foster daddy went, took my innocence away
The street life ain't much better, but at least I get paid
And Tuesday just might go my way
It can't get worse than yesterday
Thursdays, Fridays ain't been kind
But somehow I'll survive
Hey man I'm alive I'm takin' each day and night at a time
Yeah I'm down, but I know I'll get by
Hey hey hey hey, man gotta live my life
Like I ain't got nothin' but this roll of the dice
I'm feelin' like a Monday, but someday I'll be Saturday night
Now I can't say my name, and tell you where I am
I want to blow myself away, don't know if I can
I wish that I could be in some other time and place
With someone else's soul, someone else's face
Oh, Tuesday just might go my way
It can't get worse than yesterday
Thursdays, Fridays ain't been kind
But somehow I'll survive
Hey, man I'm alive I'm takin' each day and night at a time
Yeah I'm down, but I know I'll get by
Hey hey hey hey, man gotta live my life
I'm gonna pick up all the pieces and what's left of my pride
I'm feelin' like a Monday, but someday I'll be Saturday night
Saturday night Here we go
Some day I'll be Saturday night
I'll be back on my feet, I'll be doin' alright
It may not be tomorrow baby, that's OK
I ain't goin' down, gonna find a way, hey hey hey
Hey man I'm alive I'm takin' each day and night at a time
Yeah, I'm down, but I know I'll get by
Hey hey hey hey, man, gotta live my life
Like I ain't got nothin' but this roll of the dice
I'm feelin' like a Monday, but someday I'll be Saturday night
I'm feelin' like a Monday, but someday I'll be Saturday night
Saturday night __,all right, all right
Saturday night __ ))

It's the small things in life that count - like summer dresses! :D
(I think I have an obsession... I have over thirty)
yup.
I swear if my mom doesn't stop stomping and slamming the microwave shut....pretty soon I'm gonna lose it.
and wow, that's a lot.
I love dresses... wish I had the space for that many... ^^
Dresses are just so.. comfy! -nods-
... best part is when a dress has pockets. I love dresses that have pockets.

Bye all!

They should be meaningful)

Should I comment on past comments? Or just say hi and comment on the ones posted after I come on?
Either way, hi.
And wbd, lunch.
*ok, i just want to be nice* ^_^ ummm, idk kas ^_^
(Hi Kas
*didnt ask for niceness *)
*you're getting it anyways*
(*accepts it gracefully*)
:) *mood improved a bit* ^_^ what are you reading? Or were?
(Nothing of interest of you, I don't think
'Silence' from the hush hush series)
I haven't read it...but the plot seems interesting. though, it probably won't be a good idea for me to read it the way i am...
(The way you are?)
yeah...
(Right)
mhm.
(*eats chocolate *)
( awww teh wee puppy)
Back. Msd.
How are you, guys?
Anyone watching DW today?
( *hand shoots up * dooooo eeeeee ooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! )
like death. probably worse than death. wbu kas?
( I feel like death would feel fine. )
(I am bored
*yaps*)
oh, then definitely worse than death.
( I wasn't talking about you chloe, I was just walking with a cute little golden cocker :D :P with lucy )
(Oopsie
I thought it was a tad bit random)
*ghosts*
@Fera I'd rather not talk about myself atm.
ok, i can totally understand that, kas.
(Kas, remember you have my number if you want to talk)
you can talk to me as well, if you want *shrugs* though i would probably only depress you further. We'd encourage each other's bad moods.
(*muuters* that helps)
i know.
Will be staying distant, sorry.
(*trots off to do psychology hm*)
Hi again. ^^
(Hi Aq, I might write tonight. )
Hello, Johanna. How are you?
Yay for writing!
Hi Kas! I'm fine, you?
Not great, Johanna. Don't want to talk about it.
What are you up to?
I just returned from some small party thing of my archery club, and now I'm warming up cause it was getting cold outside.
And tomorrow I'll go to a museum and play laser-tag. ^^ What about you?
(I won't play laser tag at a museum. It's two different things. In different places. -nods-)
That was great :D
hey johanna! :)
Hi Dragona! What was?
Hi Frank!
I met Starfish and Superman XD
There was an incident with knives though.
We were given no knives when we had food.
And we kind of looked awkwardly at our food like "er..."
But then Starfish asked for some XD
Gah my feet are hurting now though 0_0
(Rest dragon!)
I can guess who Starfish is, but who the heck is Superman?
(Don't say Clark Kent.)
I'm sat down in my pyjamas XD I think that counts as resting? :P Still hurting though. :P
Silente is Superman. :)
Oooh, ok. ^^
... could've guessed that.
On my phone if I type Silente in the autocorrect says Silent, Silence then Superman XD So she's called Superman. :)
Damn, now your phone raises your chance of typos?
You've got to comment more often, so I'll be entertained! :P
'Don't say Clark Kent' XD XD
Hi all :)
Hey Raisin! How're you??? :)
Hi Taia! ^^
(I can't wait for half term: seeing jack and going to Alton towers with him for scare fest)
(Taia! *glomps*)
( hii taia :D :P
*doctor who....*
*disapears to watch* )
Hey! I'm good, thanks Dragona! :)
Hi Aquila! :)
Hey Chloe! *hugs back* :)
Hi K! Enjoy DW! :)
How are you all? ^^
Daleks are great XD
Am I the only one who noticed Dalek Sec there? :P
(I iiiiiis goooooood ^.^)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXVUYBEt_No
Wait wait
@Dragona & Star & Jai: You guys met again??
I was in Yorkshire today @_@
Yeah we met again XD
I'm fine, thanks. ^^
How are you, Taia?
Can't follow the link on phone, Chloe, sorry :(
But yay that you're good!! :) :)
@Dragona: !!
I'm glad you had a good time! :) ^^
@Aquila: :)
I'm good, thanks! Happy being warm. Yorkshire is cold. :P
(don't apologise ^.^)
Taia: Know that feeling, I was cold when I got home, too. ^^
( really? really though !!!!!!!!!!!! ? Blooming sonic sunglasses. )
@Taia: Awwwh we should have met up with you as well. :( Where were you? :)
bye
( did you get the selfie ? )
Bye Frank!
@Keiron: No. XD
We forgot. XD
(I stop checking for two secs and there are like, four comments XD)
( blooming heck can't trust you lot to do anything :P XP )
Heh, were they meant to take a picture? ^^
@Keiron: Lol no. XD
@Jai: :( I'm sorry!! By the time we go to the trains I was just sort of panicking about finding the right train.
I should have been panicking more. XD
It was so beautiful coming back from Doncaster though. <3
( lol jai :P BAd dragggie and star! )
@Aquila: Yeah. XD
We haven't taken a group selfie yet and we've met up twice. XD
Hrm. -has never taken any group selfies-
-is suddenly wondering if the majority of Germany fails to fulfill some English social norms-
( it's a thing to remember the day I think :D :P
hence why i've taken up the pasttime of saving my bustickets and writing what happened on the back so I can gooo awwwww yeh ! )
(my family at Christmas has had two massive selfies -one in our onesies and one in our Christmas jumpe4rs
if you want to look, they are on my facebook somewhere)
@Aquila: It's sort of the social norm to take group selfies when you go to a new place with a group of people or when you meet up with a group of people you don't often meet up with.
Darcie took several tour selfies with her wind band firends when she went on tour, and me and my siblings took a supermarket selfie in France.
My family does 'grandchildren stairs' once every couple years. ... cause we are MANY. ^^ My grandparents have 16 grandchildren, by now.
@Aquila: Ooh. :)
And I'm the oldest of them all! -grins-
@Aquila: XD Awesome.
I'm the oldest of the grandchildren of the families we speak to on my dad's side of the family (we don't speak to my dad's oldest sister. I mean, no one does. My dad's mum fell out with her.)
(I am the middle out of my second cousins
I have no first cousins)
Oh no
No I'm not
There's my cousin Lisa who's like a decade older than me.
XD Oops! Forgot about her.
Sorry, she's not one of the kids so I forgot to count her. XD
Y'know how some dog breeds have that instict to herd whatever moves?
... I kinda suspect us oldest children get that from being told to look after them at every family meeting... >.>
-is totally capable of herding children-
-though more than six small ones is tiring-

@Aquila: :P
I'm much better at being a sheep than a shepherd. :P
( I get given three at a time and have to juggle them with two dogs whilst entertaining a fourth sometimes... yehhh christmas is fun... )
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_JTepibR7M
-cough- Caution. Black humour. -cough-
K, sound familiar, but just four would be quite easy work. ;P
( not when you are almost literally juggling them )
Oooh, that little? Well, then yes, you're right. ^^
Babies are so cute, though...
( as in they are crawling on your back face shoulders and all sorts )
Mine liked to play horse with me. Yeeees, with me on all fours. Or taxi. They'd call taxi, and I'd come, pick them up, and carry them somewhere else. ;P
*is very glad I do not work with children*
(I love children!)
Me too!
back, unfortunately.
