Congratulations to everyone! I can't wait to read more of your writing. :hooray:

trumancoyote · Apr 2, 2005

Yeah, so I was like staring at your post, Jenna, and I said to my boyfriend: "Oh well. I didn't think I'd get in the top ten anyway."

And I pouted.

And he was all: "YOUR NAME'S RIGHT THERE!!"

And I was like OHMYGOD YAY! and was happy.

I seriously didn't see it right away. Heheh.

But seriously, thank you.

Seriously. Joining this board has been really rewarding; everyone's so charmingly crazy.

And really: how else should I pass time at work?
Working?!

Thank you Jenna!!!

Finally we have the top 10! :Thumbs:

So now enquiring minds want to know...who are these people? Let's read their auditions, find their posts, dig up the dirt on them and get on with the game!

This is TOTALLY exciting!

Congratulations to each of you....the judges obviously had a hard time deciding so your selections have alot of merit! Very impressive!

Best luck and wishes to each of you!

Let the games begin! :Sun:

Same here, except without the boyfriend part (my cat isn't so articulate); I thought, "Okay," and then I scrolled down...

Thanks, judges! It's particularly meaningful knowing how many good entries there were.

Whee! This is gonna be fun

(but first I have to go back and make sure I didn't mis-read)
