Not that anyone reads this anymore, but just in case...
First of all, that prize I won is turning out to be awesome, even though I was limited in what I got to choose from ($300 doesn't cover a whole lot at this place). I'm pretty sure I'm doing this skin rejuvination facial thing. The aesthetician there is young, cute, and fun. Her name's Cheska, which I find interesting. I kind of like it. I think. [And I'm a name freak, if you didn't know that.] Anyway, yay for winning prizes in contests!

Speaking of contests... Okay, so remember this entry? Well I checked the website today and



I MADE IT TO THE TOP TEN!!!!!!! I'M ON THE WEBSITE FOR VOTING!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't even explain to you how happy this makes me!!! I told myself that I'd be content just to make it that far (and honestly, even if I lose this next part by a bajillion votes, I'll still feel awesome about the whole thing), but I can't help it; I want to win. Or at the very least, I want to get to the next stage where I get to compete against the other winners. Soooo, I thought I'd whore myself out and see if I can get anybody to vote. I'm not going to ask you to vote for me, UNLESS you honestly sincerely feel that my song sounds the best out of the ten contestants. [To be completely honest, there's one person that I really think should win, out of the ten of us... but I still hope I do! I'm selfish!] But anyway, if you want to help me out by participating, please please please

GO HERE TO VOTE!!!

You can vote multiple times, by refreshing the page (I discovered that by accident, lol), but if you don't feel that's honest, that's totally understandable. I kind of don't... I mean, I don't want people to go and flood the votes, because then how am I even supposed to feel good about my actual singing? But if I really face the facts, at this point, it's largely a popularity contest, aka "who can get their friends and family to vote the most" -- which explains why some of the previous winners won when there were some incredibly talented people competing against them! Kind of irks me, but whatever. That's one reason I want to get to the next stage and compete live. Then it'd DEFINITELY be about the singing.

Anyway, what are you waiting for?? Go vote! Please and thank you. :D

I'll love you forever and ever. ♥ ♥ ♥

P.S. Just as a disclaimer, I honestly didn't do very well with that song. I did it an octive too low for my voice; at certain parts you can really tell. But the problem is, if I'd done it an octive higher, it would've been too HIGH for my voice at certain parts. So whatever, I'll try again this week with a different song. But I had to point that out in case you've never heard me sing before. : P

Congrats, M! (I totally voted by the way...and I'm not stalking your journal, I just had to come here to respond to the last comment and saw this. Then I decided I'd have to listen. So I did. And I voted, more than once...haha.) I'm not gonna lie, though...I voted for Scott, too. In part because he was also amazing, and in part because I have a complete weakness for a strong tenor. :-P Anyway, way to go. :) (Reply to this) (Thread)

Thank you, Jessa! Honestly, Scott is the one I think should win... I'm glad you voted for him. I voted for him a couple of times, too. But he still only has (as of this moment) 3+% of the votes. And Corrine and Jessica are in the lead... which goes to show how accurate this really is at gauging talent. : P I mean, Jessica's not horrible, and Corrine's better than average for her age, I suppose, but Scott is a BILLION times better than both of them!!!! *sigh* Maybe he'll try again in these next couple of weeks, too, and next time won't be competing against people who sit and vote for themselves over and over again. If there were a way to message the contestants, I'd send him a message and tell him he's so much better. And probably ask for his phone number. lol (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	P.S. I love that icon, lol. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	yodelayhayhoo 2007-03-06 00:56 (link)
	Really?? Thanks! I made it! I personally think it's pretty funny, because my family has always referred to us wimmin-folks' hips as "child-birthin' hips", what with their size and all... haha. But I figured other people would think it's stupid. So yay! :D (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	absolutelyjessa 2007-03-06 01:21 (link)
	Yeah, we use that term in my family too...in a sort of ironic way, though. The women on my mom's side all have "child-birthin' hips" but my mom had to have 2 C-sections. So, not ACTUALLY that good for child-birthin', haha. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	OH OUCH. That made my abdomen hurt just reading that. *wince* (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	absolutelyjessa 2007-03-06 01:32 (link)
	Yeah. Hence, my lack of pressing need to have children posthaste. Apparently these things are genetic. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: yodelayhayhoo 2007-03-06 01:48 (link)
	Of course children are genetic, ya goof. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Oh, also. I love this pink icon you're using ♥, aaaand I made an icon using the guitar pic (haha, guitar PIC(K)? har har) a long time ago that I've had stored in my Photobucket to use later... but now if I use it, it'll look like I'm copying you. So I just wanted to get that out there, that I SWEAR I made the icon before seeing yours, and that I'm not copying. : | (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	absolutelyjessa 2007-03-06 01:32 (link)
	Sure, like I'd believe THAT!! ;) (This is my other current favorite icon. I recently discovered icon communities on lj; pretty much none of my really cool ones are actually personal creations. Which, in the end, makes you much more innovative than me anyway...but we all knew that!!) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Re: yodelayhayhoo 2007-03-06 01:43 (link)

Ha. Ha. Whatever. I'm not innovative, just egocentric. It's all about me -- even the icons I use (in general). : P I like that one, too! Sometimes I find icons with cool/funny/cute expressions on them, but they're ugly or have mistakes, so I steal the words and make my own with them, lol. I can't really take credit for those icons, even though I made them, because I didn't think of the concept... but I still do. :X (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
