Awww... I can't believe I got second ._. Oh, well, I guess I did better than I expected, but maybe you should put up next year that you'll get extra posts for using both themes on the last day, if I'd known that, I would have probably used the other a bit >> anyways, Congrats Silver! Congrats Phonox; you both were worthy opponents!!! and.... Awesome AK!!! you managed to snag 4th place!!! That didn't even hardly seem possible! Nice going there buddy. :thumbsup:

Erm.. that means... I get a cameo, right? What exactly is a cameo ._.?

Good job, guys! I didn't really have the time for this this year... ah well, next year, maybe?

Well.... no time today. Spent an extra hour and a half on the project... now need to do homework, go to extra long hockey practice, get back at 10, do more homework... sigh...

I am so proud of myself right now. Not even for winning the week of randomness - I mean, that's cool and all, everyone was great, it was a lot of fun, yay, fanfare, et cetera - I'm just really amazed...

That the Neku sprite was enough to get me points for Act like the World is About to End Day. That was the only post I made that whole day, and I still got third~

Anyway... thanks Josiah, congrats to everyone else, and I drink your milkshake!

...Huh? We're supposed to stop being random now? Oh...
"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

Well, it's Wednesday the sixteenth of December, and as usual, Cheezey has been too busy with school, girls, and other things pertaining to the real life that Cheezey has absolutely no control of, and the fact that Cheezey's internet router exploded a week ago and Shaw is too incompetent to fix it for this time, so Cheezey is at the local school library listening to The Beatle's album, 'Rubber Soul'.

...am I doing this right?

EDIT: oh crap that was LAST wednesday, I really am behind

Hey, I did better than I expected.

I knew NG had to place somewhere in the top three, but I didn't know who would get the other two places :-P .

Good Job Silver, NG, and Phonox! Congrats!

Hmmm.. It did sound familiar, but my computer tells me 'Meister' is wrong that it should be 'Mister, Master or Moister' Meh, maybe my spell check program is really just that old. >>
Oh, and I'm not trying to complain or anything, I noticed on mine it says 'Kina' which I'm guessing was either a typo of 'Kinda' or it was another one of those words. >>
Anywho, I'm confused, what's a cameo? As in, the cameo I'll be 'in'(?) I don't even know what that mean. @.@ I should really look more things up...

Oh, I really have to adopt an image here. Have to make time to draw something vague that I want to be represented by. Maybe during the upcomming break.

It's a very German word. English adopts words from every language, sometimes spellcheckers are a little slow to realize that that foreign word is English too now. Oh, just because I'm ridiculous, the actual word for this is "loanword." "Meister" is a loanword. Now you know. Not that you wanted to.
Merry randomness, and a happy congratulations to all who participated, but especially the winners!

It's not my fault I don't know everything >> I'm only 14, and I don't exactly have a vocabulary class. <<
and that still doesn't really help me, kinda, if I'm guessing right, but not really.
