The Friday Awards

This is the moment of truth. Please be honest, Sparklers: Do you like our new Friamp stamp? It's totally cute, right?

Okay, okay, we didn't actually get Friamp stamps, mostly because we promised our parents we wouldn't when we were 12, but it'd be a pretty sweet temporary tattoo, no?

Awards!

The Greatest Wish Award goes to bpotatoe for...

I want to be able to learn while sleeping. My friends and I were just having a discussion about this. Wouldn't it be cool if you could just put the books/material that you needed/wanted to learn under your pillow and then could literally sleep on it. Then you could learn it!

You Are so Awesome Award goes to happyhostage for creating this wallpaper of Dan quotes!

The We <3 Nerds Award goes to LilyGrimm128 for...

You know what's even better than a time machine or a Time-Turner? A TARDIS! Because a time machine only travels through time. If you're in America, your hometown was probably not all that interesting before the 1600s, at least. And Time-Turners are impractical for travel through any significant amount of time.

But with a TARDIS, which stands for Time And Relative Dimension In Space, you can go anywhere in time AND space. Unless it happens to be sealed, in which case you really don't want to go there, anyway, unless you want to be exterminated by an army of Daleks. (They'll turn you into dust. You won't bounce back from that.)

Right! Where was I? Space and time! Do you want to see the very first production of Hamlet ever? Go ahead! How about witnessing the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius? Knock yourself out! You can even travel to places literally a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.

The You Just Totally Whipped Us Into Shape Award goes to iluvfacetouching for providing this horrifying link.

The Adorable Award goes to Poona2010 for this comment on the high school relationships field guide

OMG. I think I'm a geek in love.
I found my boyfriend 2 years ago in a library, we were studying the same thing at different schools.

GEEK IN LOVE?
GUILTY

Clever Points to Realitycheck8 for this comment on the makeup post...

Am I the only guy that has posted on this? Hmm... anyway, as far as this whole make-up thing goes I don't really like it. At all. My girlfriend very rarely wears it, and she is absolutely Beautiful. On the off occassion that she does wear it, it doesn't look bad... just... I dunno any other way to put it than predatory. In a sexy way. But I much prefer Beautiful to singing "Maneater" by Hall and Oates everytime I look at her with make-up on. So, for all you gorgeous girls out there, you can shock and stun a guy without having to wear 4 pounds of after birth on your face...  If we touch your face we would rather not have our finger sink three inches into the make-up.

LOL Pointz...

...to MrsBergstein for her comment on the relationship field guide post

YOU SAID SEX! Oh no... i just said sex.... I SAID IT AGAIN!!..... I am going to hell.

...to AliciaRL79 for a keen observation about the pic in this post

oh ugh. The dude in the picture is wearing a belt! So why isn't it helping??

...to Nyce17 for this comment about family overload...

My family annoys me so very much

And I understand that blood is thicker than water but...blood is for the most part made up of water...so what does that mean?

...to Now_what for a comment on the same post...

My bro just asked me what it's like having a broken body part (for reasons I'm not intirely sure he himself understands) so I said, "I don't know, how's your brain feel?". Burn, bro. Burn.

...to Dumbledore21 for this comment about bad gifts...

One time, my sister gave me "love" for Christmas. Then I got really mad and wanted to take back the "Another Cinderella Story" CD I got her but my mom said "love" is the greatest gift of all! Yay! What a happy christmas!!!!!!!!!
Maybe, but I still had $10 less in my wallet.

...to AlygirlRockz16 for this comment on the same post...

We get towels! EVERY SINGLE DOGGONE YEAR OUR PARENTS RECIEVE TOWELS!
I HATE TOWELS! I HAVE TO WASH THEM ALL THE TIME!

...to giselabeth for...

Never give a teenage girl a doll. Especially not a giant remote controlled doll that rollerskates. That's what my aunt and uncle got me five or six years ago. That was a crappy Christmas gift...

...to jujupom for...

When I was 14, I got an easy bake oven, which I wanted when I was in 3rd grade!!!!! Please don't get gifts which were requested YEARS AGO!!!

...to skiracer721 for...

My uncle's girlfriend once gave us a strange thing we called "pot man". She painted flower pots white and used them for a body, arms, and legs. She made a flower bouquet for the head. It was the single worst gift we have ever received...but...we got a good laugh out of it, especially because she was completely serious when she gave it.

...to neomaxizoomdwbi for...

As far as the cleaning supplies goes, my grandfather gave my grandmother a toilet seat for Christmas one year. True story.
And when asked what I wanted for Christmas, I answered CD's and clothes. I was a size extra-small. The clothes were XL. CD consisted of someone chanting, moaning, and shrieking. That was three years ago. I'm still confused.

Yeash, you guys have some bad luck! On with the LOL Pointz Awards...

...to theeighthdwarf for...

I gave my sister an air guitar last Christmas. I even wrapped up an empty box for her.

...to Icelandgirl for this comment on the crazy car post...

A car that drives on bodies on water already exists, I think it is called a boat.

...to nonickname34 for this comment on the school assembly post...

last year our school had an assembly with Italian dancers FROM BRAZIL. Yeah. Brazil. It didn't make any sense.

...to Misery_Business for this comment on the same post...

The most random assembly we've ever had was a group of clog dancers. Some of them were good, but it was mostly weird. One of them was doing a solo dance and this other girl in the group came running from backstage, dumped a garbage bag full of plastic bottles on her head, and started dancing with her.

...to field_hockey780 for...

One time in middle school I went to an assembly where this really strong guy (legit hulk status) told us how he did steroids and he really liked them, but he told us not to do them because they were bad, and then proceeded to bend a frying pan in half, rip a phone book in half and bend a steel bar into a pretzel, yeah he OBVIOUSLY really regrets his steroid abuse... :/

...to Legit_Mrs_Darcy for...

We had belly dancers. Seriously.

...to endlesslight44 for...

So, this year is my first time in public high school (I'm a junior), right? Homecoming assembly comes around and so we all (minus the ditchers, who are apparently many in number) pack into the gym and listen to announcements regarding the dance and winners of all the contests that go on Homecoming Week.
Then, since the theme for the dance was Cirque de Soleil (sp?) they brought in these... um... dancers? The first one was a girl dressed in hardly anything (you could see the guys' jaws slowly drop) doing very... suggestive dance moves all over this rope to this veeeery interesting music. And then they said that there was going to be a man on stilts. Well, that's what we thought they said. They really said something else. They really said something that meant that there was going to be a man, dressed in a leotard (a very, very tight leotard) dancing on those long, flowy, hanging ropes way up in the air. It was a little disturbing. Too much skin-tight fabric for me. The guys loved up that skimpy girl, but all of us were fairly scarred by that guy. It was really really really weird. Yikes. My English teacher says it was the worse assembly he's seen. lol.

...and to karmakoolio7 for...

Weirdest assembly?
In seventh grade we had these people come in and tell us not to do drugs and about healthy relationships and stuff. Their opening scene involved the cast wearing realllyyy creepy masks running around in the audience screaming "I'LL TOUCH YA FOR A DOLLA!"
It was traumatic.

And congrats to zella435 for finishing her semester yesterday. Welcome back!
