the poem you just removed...tears of pride
could i enter it again under control
as it is a loss of control of freinds so it would fit...i think -
thank you all who have entered.
i am moving the judging date to tomorrow instead of today, because there are so many words left. -
Oh, and im also still looking for some AP family members. If any of you are interested please look at my page =]
-
the amount of entries
has obviously been very slow.
i hate to do this again, but before i judge the contest i would really like most if not all of the text used.
im sorry to all who are currently in this contest, but i am pushing the judging date to the 11th. -
i jus entered...
"how long can i keep this secret"
and i used 25.pleasure less
so you kno to take it off....
(good idea for a contest..:]) -

good luck in the judging. be well and be blessed
