Thon 06 Prizes

Okay, I admit it. I am an utter and complete loser. Prizes for ‘Thon ’06 did not get mailed. Because – well – I suck. I fully and truly admit that. However! I want to make good on those. Despite moving and misplacing everything I hold dear (damn you boxes!!!) – I have managed to find all of the journals which were won from last year. I amaze myself! So, in no particular order, here is what I remember from last year. (Aided by sticky notes on the journals and by the prize page template in my EE. I <3 EE.) April cleaned up last year. She won three prizes. She was a font of information! Below are the prizes she won.

(Actually, I admit it. I cannot, for the life of me, find this blue one. However, I have a yellow one which is in the same vein which I will send out instead. Update: I found the blue one! Yay!)

Sarah won this Irish Journal.

Rambler won this journal, which I bought in Costa Rica and is made, partly, from banana leaves. Very cool.

Kentucky Girl won this durable, fabric-covered black journal. I bought it in Australia. I’m weird. I know.

Suki won this felt green journal, ever so wittingly labeled ‘Journal’ on the front.

And that’s what I have for prizes! (= The teddy bear *did* get sent out last year. I did not forget that one. Betty won that.

Anyway – I’ll be trying to contact all of these lovely people to get their addresses to send out their prizes. Yes, I’m a year late, but – I figure – better late than never? (;
If you know where they can be reached – drop me a line and let me know! burningwords at gmail dot com

Edit: I managed to find contact info for everyone but April. Anyone know how I can get in touch with her? O_o

Edit #2: Suki’s and Rambler’s journals were mailed today! Kentucky Girl opted to throw hers back in the kitty for this year. I think Sarah is of the same mind, but I emailed her to be sure and have not yet heard back from her. Still trying to get in touch with April.

‘Thon Schtick

As I have mentioned before, I am writing an interactive story for the Blogathon. I will be posting a section of the story. At the end, there will be a choice. You, my readers, will get to choose where the story goes. I am hoping you enjoy it. I just wanted to show you some of the things I will be using to help you with the story. There are five characters which will tell parts of the story and two places. Here’s a break down – with images! These images will appear in posts on the day of the Blogathon.

Lucian Lucian, the Crown Prince of Eyanea, a land under siege. He has been sailing the seas, stealing food and goods to feed and clothe his people. His father has assigned him a quest. Will he take the quest – or will he find another way to save his kingdom?

Jarrod Jarrod, advisor to Lucian, ambassador for Eyanea. He and Lucian grew up together and have been attempting to come up with ways to save their kingdom. He has been sent out on several secret missions to further their plans.

Solstice Solstice, half-elven seer, “lady” of the Court of Tyradih. She has been in a wide variety of places, mostly against her will, due to her abilities. She has been given a title at the Court of Tyradih, the kingdom of Ryall, the man putting Eyanea under siege.

Nicholas Nicholas, one of Ryall’s high-ranking guards. He is the one assigned the task of keeping a close eye upon Solstice. She sees more in him than he wishes. What will his final fate be?

Ryall Ryall, a man on a mission. A mere lord in a human kingdom, he heard of a half-elven seer. He took initiative and “invited” her to his home in Tyradih. He has many plans, which include Eyranea.

Eyanea The kingdom of Eyanea. This is the home of Lucian and Jarrod. It has been placed under siege by Ryall. Ryall is seeking to take over lands by force. Eyanea needs a seriously miracle.

Tyradih The kingdom of Tyradih. More a city than a kingdom, this is Ryall’s ever-widening lands. He hopes to widen his lands more by taking Eyanea and actually becoming a king.

Choose A choice must be made. Which path will you choose? The one to the left, or the one to the right? Will you face danger, or choose safety? The entire story rests within your hands.

There you have it. A short breakdown. I hope to post some more background soon.

Monday Meme-ing

So, Luka had a thing up about the rating of her blog. I went and had mine done as well. G. What is that about. Rated G. PFFFFFT. Perhaps we need to edit that a bit, eh? (;
*ahem* With some edits – this is the result. (;

Online Dating

Mingle2Online Dating

In other news! I took the internet quiz and did not fail! I am proud. I also did not cheat and go look it up. Therefore, I am very proud of my ‘C’.
Mingle2 Internet Quiz - How Much Do You Know About the Internet?

Free Online Dating from Mingle2

I got questions 5, 10, 12, 13, 23, 24, 25, & 28 – though I disagree with 24! C’mon now! That just looks wrong! (When you get to the answers, you’ll see.)

How did you do?

Those who are offended should not click to read more. (;

‘Thon Layout!

What do you think? It’s finally done! Holy crap, I put this off so long. And now – it’s done! HORRAY! (= I’m so excited about it, I really am. However, first things first.

Yoshi. Yes. Yoshi. You must go shower him in love. Right now. I’ll wait. Oh, what? Why? Because he coded this damn thing. He insists it was a group effort between the two of us, but he managed to make the boxes work out right and all that. Really. Go show Yoshi love. He did a lovely job coding this crazy design of mine.

You may notice some things missing from the sidebar. I was trying to reduce things for the Blogathon. All my daily reads can be accessed by clicking the ‘Daily Reads’ link there under Navigate. There’s also a link for the ‘Thon ’07 blogs. That’s a good chunk of the blogs signed up to participate in the ‘Blogathon this year. The lovely Pelf at the ‘thon forums started it and is keeping it as up to date as possible. If you are participating, drop by the forums and add your name to the roll! (=

Sponsors are getting high priority this year, if you notice. I <3 them. Join them. Sponsor me. Ha. (; There are prizes to be had. Oh, yes. There will be prizes. Stay tuned for that!

Also – I’ve put all the pertinent information about the Blogathon this year at the top of the page. *points* You can see how long until the ‘Thon starts (roughly), my charity, and how much has been pledged so far.

Oh! Like the little icon at the top of the entry? Part of this year’s schtick. Each image will help you figure out where we are and whose point of view we are reading. (=

So – thoughts?

My thoughts: so tired. 2 am. Must go to bed….
