inspiration from mika's new song: we are golden.
the video can be seen here: http://perezhilton.com/tv/index.php?ptvid=055c14567a42e
(i suggest you watch it)
lyrics:
Teenage dreams in a teenage circus
Running around like a clown on purpose
Who gives a damn about the family you come from?
No givin up when you’re young and you want some
Running around again
(Running around again)
Running from running
Waking up in the midday sun
What’s to live for?
You could see what I’ve done
Staring at emotion
In the light of day
I was running from the things that you’d say
We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden.
(We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden)
Teenage dreams in a teenage circus
Running around like a clown on purpose
Who gives a damn about the family you come from?
No giving up when you’re young and you want some
Running around again
(Running around again)
Running from running
(repeat)
I was a boy at an open door
Why you staring
Do you still think that you know?
Looking for treasure
In the things that you threw
Like a magpie
I live for glitter, not you
We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden
(We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden)
Teenage dreams in a teenage circus
Running around like a clown on purpose
Who gives a damn about the family you come from?
No giving up when you’re young and you want some
Now I’m sitting alone
I’m finally looking around
Left here on my own
I’m gonna hurt myself
Maybe losing my mind
I’m still wondering why
Had to let the world let it bleed me dry
We are not what you think we are
We are not what you think we are
We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden
Teenage dreams in a teenage circus
Running around like a clown on purpose
Who gives a damn about the family you come from?
No giving up when you’re young and you want some
Running around again
(Running around again)
Running from running
(repeat)
We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden
given the lyrics, i'd really prefer teenagers to enter. i want you to challenge yourselves to come up with something related to the title of the contest. really looking for something happy, not angsty or sad.
i'm going to set the contest at 15 entries, but if i don't get anything i think is good, i'll add more. please, please look at my writing or my favorites to see what i like. give me something really phenomenal.
points will go up with the quality of entries.

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on December 22, 2009
- Rewards: Gold: 400
- Final notes: I am so sorry, guys, for leaving this contest unjudged for so long. It's hard to have a contest during college (I swear I've learned this time). But y'all all did wonderful jobs -- I haven't commented any yet but I'm going to do it post-judging (hopefully now, but I may have to sleep before I finish). Anyway, thanks for waiting patiently. I really appreciate it. And read the top three -- they're great.
--katie

it says that it ends on the 15th
i mighte be late but I really wanted to enter it please just read and see what you think.
Been playing it like I don’t care
Cuz’ it doesn’t really matter that you’re there
All about this teenage conspiracy to be free
I want to be free, free, free
Just run around my teenage fantasies
Standing tall in the glaring rays
Of your judgments
I think I can make it
To the finish line
Time left me here to be held
While I break
I ask myself……..
How did I get here?
Shouldn’t have let you
Leave me here……
Forget about all the tragedies
Let’s be in a parody
Parody, parody, parody
Let’s play out our teenage fantasies
Swinging out the door
To our date with Godzilla in a maze of gorillas……
Oh wait was that last’s night’s dream?
Let’s play out our fantasy
Teenage fantasy, fantasy,
Let’s be free cuz’
There’s more to me than meets the eye
Don’t let the fantasies fool you by -

aww I've been thinking of this contest on and off and finally came up with something... though I'm not a teen anymore (still getting used to it
) If you open this again let me know please If not, thanks for the inspiration anyhow - and I looked this song up mostly because I saw the contest. Pretty cool
