The Friday Awards

Formerly known as Comments We Lurve/Love/Really, Really Like but are Afraid to Commit to, our Friday feature is now THE FRIDAY AWARDS. Why? Because awards are shiny and pretty and make me feel better about myself. Because we've expanded our scope to cover all the SparkNotes chatter on the entire internet universe.

Thanks for giving us the giggles all over the triple dub, Sparklers!

Honesty Points

From backdropflower about Sorry, Charlie: Girls Like Guys Who Don't Actually Exist:

I am more than guilty of fictional crushes. But I don’t really fall for sprkly-hunky-suavey types. I’m more into… well Hamlet. I’m completely in love with Hamlet. And Holden Caufield. Two of the biggest basket cases in literate history. FML.

By EmClosk in the comments for Mortification Station:
Summer before 8th grade. I was in the musical, and had a semi-leading role. My crush was working the mikes (he was a junior at the time) and we had to go up for mike checks. After mine, I skipped downstairs to giggle with my bff and we started singing a really vulgar song from the musical Rent. Of course, my mike was still on and everyone heard it, including my crush AND my teacher.

By V3rTiklyLyttle in response to Hey, Jealousy:

So true. But, it’s okay..Every one of us has a little green monster in us SOMEwhere.

Made us LOL Points

From penguins_quack about Comments We Really, Really Like:

I think it would be ironic if everything was made out of iron… (that’s a joke, I’m not that dumb. Don’t pick on me, please)

From JustToStuddie about But mommm: Getting your parents to let you grow up:

mom: …but you look so CUTE with your hair combed back!

me: uhhh… you dont get it… that looks stupid

mom: cant you be stupid AND cute?

me: …..? isnt that just the opposite of what youve always told me you want me to be?

mom: but it looks KEE-UTE!

me: no thank you mom! *leave

Warmzies and Fuzzies Points

By ohiah93 in response to Everything You Need to Know Mix:
