Many thanks for the congrats! I'm glad I was finally able to fine-tune the Vulcan mind-meld to work. The first two attempts resulted in me sounding eerily like Ethel Merman. Third time's a charm! :-)

I didn't even know paperclips came in flavors! Here I've been using the plain metal ones all along. Hmm, learn something new every day.

My honest to goodness last contestant blog post. I want to apologize to telucti and meg for all the fallout they're getting from idgits who paint everyone w/the same brush and need to make everyone choose sides. There's no sides. I'm a jerk who can't resist putting 'kick me' signs on pompous backs. Gingerbug is a jerk who likes to play victim and take to the fainting couch. But we're both jerks, I'm not kidding myself.
And I'll always be a jerk, more or less. And I'll always make fun of stuff I think is asinine.
QH and I were trying to remember how this shit all started....
lw':I think it started because we were goofing on the contestants in Open City and someone followed a link, then posted it in the contestant blog. But how did crazybug start? The only thing I can think is my exit interview w/genis dong where I said I voted for her both times because her diary was too orange and she lacked whimsy.'
QH:That was pretty much it... you were giving your impressions of
other diarists and linking. And right about then two things
happened: 1) GB posted the death = rape analogy about that IC
challenge, and 2) the same day she had her post up about her
melodramatic fear of eating in public.
We poked a little fun at both of those bits, but by then she was
already reading - and that's when the deluge of goth Defenders
of Crazybug hit the board, and when I started getting the letters
from Allen...'
And that's how it started. Believe it or not. We were making fun on our board we've had in one form or another for 3 years and the Popular Diarists got hurt.
With that, I apoligize to Tel and Meg, say DRINKSOMEMILKSALLY! to the Popular Diarists and bid you all a fond farewell.
Y'all should post in here and enjoy the rest of the contest now that us jerks are gone.
