Writing Contest Final Round!

[Draven Ames]

Oh shut up, Draven! Just kidding, you know I adore you! We went into this as friends and we will leave as friends (but if you beat me, you may be in for a severe wedgie if we ever meet face to face!) As much as I would like to win this thing, I have to say that I am not going to be too disappointed by a loss if it happens. These are all fine stories and sometimes the company kept is more important than the outcome. No wailing and gnashing of the teeth from me. I think next Wednesday will be a relief for us all. Good luck to all those involved, and thanks to those voting-even if you did vote for Draven

You are a funny one, Caren. But you are right about so many cool people. I'm like you - just glad to be here.

I'm going to be flying out to PA in a couple of weeks to hang out with Nikki and some other friends...want me give her a wedgie for everyone? :P

You all have me so appreciative right now. There aren't words enough to express my gratitude. This contest could teach anyone patience and humility, as I'm glued to the polls.

This is still a long week and it is anyone's to win.

Loving the cometary, by the way.

... they're coming around the second turn. In a fit of irony, the Meat Socks are running down the Wings of a Fly. And Rudy Jenkins/Monotonous/Patient bringing in 3rd!

Rudy Jenkins Monotonous Patient? Is that a Merchant/Ivory film or the name for a really bad punk band from Omaha?

[TerryE]

... And mstrom is painfully bringing up the rear...

Sorry, mstrom, but we need racing lingo. Maybe something like... "It looks like The Dark Caller has been disconnected."

At this point, I'm almost glad I didn't make the finals. I can't imagine your stress. And with that long back stretch, you won't even round turn 3 until Monday.

[Sioned Mair]

Just a few words to say how much I enjoyed reading all the entries. I'm a better reader than a writer -haha !

[C.W. LaSart]

lol...is it wrong that i cycle through curse words, tears and laughter? no, i guess that's normal

We may have to start up a support group together It will be alright-no matter the outcome my new friend! You can join the group as well Mstrom!

[RichardThomas]

Sigh! Glad you guys are all amused! :P

"....and Draven takes the inside track into 3rd, barely nudging past Richard and Caren! It's a tight race folks...."

We need some commentary....

"The two leaders are neck and neck, with several forming a pack directly at their heals, as they move around the track...."
