The Friday Awards

The Friday Awards

By Emily Winter

Love is in the air, Sparklers. Can you smell it? It smells like gasoline. Yummmm. You want to drink it, but you can't. Too much love can kill a person, you know. Look at Juliet!

So we must love from the safe distance of our computers, which smell like Oreos, not gasoline, because of a snack time that turned ugly back in September.

This week, it seems like everyone was talking about their crushes in the comments. In fact, many of you admitted to falling for stock photography models or SparkLife writers. The photo is a collage of all the Spark people you'd gladly drink gasoline for. A Super Secret SparkLife Friday Award goes out to all you Sparklers plagued by a mad, hard crush. We feel you. :)

...to verbomaniac012 for...

I live in a town with a college, and a couple of years ago on Halloween this happened to a family friend: Two college girls showed up on their doorstep, trick-or-treating, wearing only lingerie. Shocked, they asked the girls what they were supposed to be. The one girl said, "I'm a stripper," while the other one replied, "Well, I'm just a slut."

...to Sn0wflaker for...

I once saw a guy dressed up as a breast

Just one breast? Odd.

Quick tip for getting your locker open: make sure it is your locker. On the first day of school, I couldn't get my lock open for 15 minutes, a couple of my friends tried it, a few teachers and finally the principal unlocked it with his key, it wasn't mine. I have never felt so dumb in my life. I no longer bother putting the lock on, since I live in a tiny town where everyone knows everyone I don't think anyone would bother to steal my jacket.

You Survived a Crazy Teacher Award goes to...

zmboaz for...

We have this one teacher who has called his sister on one of our cell phones during a Chem test.

...to Fall_In_Love for...

My old Bio Teacher used to put on really dark sunglasses during our tests so we couldn't tell if he was looking at us. It was SUPPOSE to keep us from cheating, but really, it just kinda freaked me out.

...to noomhsa for...

i had a teacher that would lean/look at my test in a weird way during tests... so then i started staring at him until he stopped... so every one would stop and look at me and wonder whats going on. it was fun until the principal walked in. she got mad at the teacher and i got 2 extra points on a 30 point quiz!

and to PieHo for...

I had an English teacher who would give us our tests, tell us all to be quiet, and then proceed to talk about whatever baseball game had been on the night before. We had to tell him to be quiet, not the other way around.

Tigress_118 for...

The Verbal Vomitorium
You will be injected with truth serum and thrust into a crowd of everyone you know, where you will be forced to reveal all your secrets in a blurtacious, horribly embarrasing manner, and everything from who broke grandma's priceless ming vase to the time you had an extended sexual fantasy about Dumbledore will be revealed to all.

to ragster96 for...

The Lexicon Augmentor:
You are set into a room w/ 5000 vocab words from those that no one in their right mind would need to know - what in the world is Brobdingnagian? - to those that you have only heard renowned scholars say - "Did he just say 'to take umbrage at utilitarian terpsichorean usury?' or 'a roué, sybartitic Machiavellian of that hoyden'"? - and have to memorize all of them, as well as right a 4,000 word MINIMUM essay using ALL of them. Further more this essay needs to make logical sense, be insightful, and must not have any grammatical errors.

and to Loupsicle for...

The most terrifying, scariest, emotionally crippling, bladder alleviating room?

You enter a small, normal looking room, which seems perfectly unassuming at first glance. Then all of a sudden, minaciously Dan pops up from out of the floor. And of course your heart fills with joy and exhilaration, and you assume you must have died, from the Hell's Cafeteria's ecoli-ridden food, and gone to heaven, because there's nothing scary about this scenario, just pure utter bliss.
But then as you look on in horror, Dan unzips his face, similar to how a cicada sheds it’s shell, and in Dan's place, all of a sudden, is Stephanie Meyer glaring at you maliciously. If you haven’t already relived your bladder, by this stage, you'll be tearing your hair and gouging your eyes out next.
Like Medusa, a snake coiled around Meyer’s head utters the last words on earth you wish to hear.
Sparklife no longer exists.
You stare aghast, and sob, glower and mummer simultaneously, all at the same time and concurrently, before shrieking and preparing to sprint for the exit.

But then, flabbergasteringly Zella435 steps out and says, "Just kidding".
As you crumple into a blibbering, blubbering, astonished heap, Houseobsessed14 offers you a tissue and Peaceonearth34, some gentle words of consolation.
And then, rather awkwardly, Loonylovegood15 reminds you that you, ah er, well points you towards the toilet, before Pusanna and TheGenius93 hand you a lollipop, and a letter from Dan's publicist stating he in no way associates, nor condones the behaviour of these scandalously scary Sparklers, respectably.

But on your way out, still slightly dishevelled and trembling, you happen to glance behind you again, and see MrsBergstein affectionately, and somewhat manically, dragging a sack across the room, with what appears to be a figure wearing something suspiciously shaped like a jetpack within, and you wonder if it was all really a “Just kidding” joke at all…
