We had to delete those early entries, so the widget didn't open till a bit after 9, eventually filled up quickly for those lucky enough to be refreshing at the right time, then closed when it was filled. So some may have never seen it open. Especially on slower internet connections.<br /><br />So, we are opening a third entry window and taking another extra 25 entries tomorrow! I will update my blog with the exact details asap! <br /><br />Thank you!CUPIDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01726782711068858241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3349220550249399644.post-22641963279251673272012-05-03T23:14:50.118-04:002012-05-03T23:14:50.118-04:00This makes me feel so sad.

I was counting down and then about died when the widget wasn't showing. I was over here cursing & throwing objects at the walls as the seconds slipped by me. Then, out of no where, I clicked the comments to see if other people were having the same trouble and the widget magically showed up. At that point I frantically typed my info in, laughing to myself and somehow I secured the #165 entry. After reading the morning contestants comments, I for sure thought there was a thirty second window before the entries booked up. I can't believe I made it in. Add me people. Let's network.

Fear, hope, frantic action, much wailing and gnashing of teeth and then... The cold silence of rejection. <br /><br />Anger, disbelief, the comments of those with the stars on their side fanning the flames of grief. All I can say is: "That's life." The real world. <br /><br />A brief bright moment that has now passed. I will return again to my small patch of dark fantasy, where the hero will pass through hell for a brief glimpse of heaven. Will he succeed? Sure, tell yourself that. How will he succeed? Now that will take some telling...Herrflichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03909222991096154511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3349220550249399644.post-33053205079427709892012-05-03T21:38:39.011-04:002012-05-03T21:38:39.011-04:00oH, poo.
