The Friday Awards

Heyyyyy there, Sparklers. Welcome your bad self back to The Friday Awards, also known as The SparkLife Academy Weekly Meeting. Today we have a SparkLife Academy flag update!

So far, we've got 12 entries for the SparkLife Academy flag contest, and we're going to hold voting Tuesday. If you're working on a flag, please send it to contribute@sparknotes.com by Monday night.

We'd love to type more before awards, but our hands are tooooooo cold! Seriously, this ed would eat a pickled shrimp the size of her head in exchange for a temperature increase of one frackin' degree in this over-air conditioned hizzy. And by "hizzy," she means "cubicle." Did Miss Marm's toe just fall off? We haven't got much time, Sparklers! Onwards, awards!

Happy Belated Birthday to GrangerDanger99, slidesareAMAZING, marsquatch18, Real Alias, and Aamina2012!

Happy Birthday to AlwaysAmyM!

Happy Tomorrow Birthday to Radiosinger!

Nickname of the Week goes to idontlookatexplosions.

Killer Love Songs for comments on How to Write a Love Song go to...

0pheli@ for...

Buttered Toast MY

Do you remember that time in English (Oh The dread!)

When we were watching that scene where Romeo and Juliet wed?

Well, I don't know exactly what they said

(I was too busy staring at your head)

But whatever it was let's pretend I said to you instead

Because I love you as much as you love white bread

(Also, your zipper's open)

Helena3191 for...

I flex my thigh muscle in Budapest FILL

Dan the man says you are his world now

It might give you a cardiac arrest

Every time he sees you he does a kowtow

Roses are red

Violets are blue IN

Some verses rhyme

but this one doesn't

Now we finish it up with the sacred cow

No, not tuna fish

You are his world now

That's ludicrous!!!

IM SO GLAD I HAVE THIS HANDY GUIDE TO HELP ME WRITE THE PERFECT LOVE SONG!! and, luckly, i got in some rhyming practice last night on OT so i'm ready to do this!! now wheres my pen...

i want to hold you forever

until my arms are severed

you make my head feel dizzy

i have a dog named izzy

synchrogirl117 for...

Psh, I'm an expert at this. Ready for this amazing song I wrote Freshman year?

Dirty Little Secret --> Dirty Ryan Seacrest

Am I doing something wrong?

Tape American Idol every time its on.

I watch the show a time or two,

Cause I love the things you do.

Tell me how your hair looks so good,

You should marry me, yeah you know you should.

You are the only one who needs a bath...

I'll clean you my dirty Ryan Seacrest (dirty Ryan Seacrest)

I love you but dude you're really making this place smell bad (making this place smell bad)

Know that you should clean, man

My dirty Ryan Seacrest,

Who needs a bath?

When everyone else wants to be tall,

you're rockin lifts, you have it all.

I seem to swoon a time or two,

When I watch you host, it's true.

Tell me why we're not married yet,

We're meant to be like Derric and Odette.

And yet, you seem to get so dirty...

I'll clean you my dirty Ryan Seacrest (dirty Ryan Seacrest)

I love you but dude you're really making this place smell bad (making this place smell bad)

Know that you should clean, man

My dirty Ryan Seacrest,

Aaaaand CUT! Yeah, doesn't make much sense, but oh well.

The Campaign Manager Award goes to Bedazzle_Like_You_Mean_It for this comment on How to Run For Class President and Actually Win...

Use any/ALL of the slogans and succeed:

Vote for me and every day will be pi day! Math shirts for all! What did the radical number say to the imaginary one? "Get real, vote for [insert name]!!!" What did the imaginary number say back? "Be rational, [insert name] FTW!" Give me Axis of Symmetry or give me Death! I am not a root! The call me tyrannosaurus X. [insert opponents name] divides by zero!

The I-Am-Just-the-Middleman,-and-I-Keep-Hearing-Great-Things-About-You" Award goes to wakwy. We'd tell you more about it, but we don't even know the details.

The Dancing Fool with Seventeen Left Feet Award goes to OnomatopoeiaPalindrome for this comment on How Not To Ask A Guy To A Dance...

I like the normal approach:

Me: You wanna dance?

Him: No.

Me: Great! I love this song!

Him: But, I said...

Me: *Dragging him onto the dance floor with my friend using him like a puppet to force him to dance*

LOL Points to...

WEREDRAGONS, OBV.

KelliBean14 for this comment on the same post...

What about a superhero?

The BACONATOR.
Ready to fight for all the ham-covered people of Porksville with his ARTERY-CLOGGING JUSTICE!

theoreticalgrrl for this comment on last week's Friwards...

Yay! I like getting awards on SparkNotes because they are given to me by awesome people. I don't like getting awards in English class for the most creative Creative Writing Project because my English teacher is a 2,000-year-old raisin.

hlucero06 for this comment on Diagnosing Your Bad Habits...

My mom exaggerates things.

Mom: Lucero, stop slouching!!

Me: *stops slouching* THE

Mom: See? You practically grew 6 inches, and your figure looks amazing!! Plus, it just cured your acne, raised your Geometry GPA, and ended world hunger!!

Me: *thinks inside about how I was slouching, at most, 2 inches. also, my mom is crazy*

And my little brother eats like a cow.

Brother: *Chomping like a cow*

Me: Isaiah, chew with your mouth closed. I don't want to see your food.

Brother: You're not the boss of me!! Ahhhh.... *shows food*

Me: You look like a cow. BAM

Brother: *silent for a moment* MOOOOOOMMMMMMYYYYY!!!! SISTER IS BEING MEAN!!!

Mom: Lucero, stop being mean to your brother! And stop slouching!!

Me: *head to table, while wondering how she saw my slouch from the next room*

she_who_squeaks for this comment on Kissing is So Overrated...

If I kiss anyone, it will damage my horn embouchure. That's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it.

flyergirl13 for this comment on Hanging with Your Ex: All the Fun, None of the Awkward...

Is it bad that I read an article about realtionships and Orangutans and my thought process included "hey, it would be kinda cool to date an orangutan"?

beagle48644 for this comment on QUIZINATOR: Too Legit To Quit aka The Long-Awaited Harry Potter Quiz FINALE...

I'm HARRY JAMES POTTER!!!

Do I have to marry Ginny? Cuz I'm a girl.

I'd SO marry myself! YEAH! : )

YO. EMILY.
**timdly** Hi. I just sorta wanted to maybe let you know that I never got a birthday shout out for my birthday in June. never ever. And I've been a sparkler for a li'l over a year. It's... not a big deal. No, really. I'm alright. I just... thought this- this... whatever this is we have... was special. Ya know? But it's okay. Really. Thanks for listening, Emily/Other Sparkitors. It felt good to get that off my chest.

ruby_red_head for this comment on How Not To Ask A Guy To A Dance...

wait... now sparknotes tells me that kidnapping is illegal?!

sorry its a bit too late...

*muffled thumping in the backgroud* BLANK

would sparknotes happen to have an article about how to deal with a hostage liason or get rid of a dead body? either would work...

StoryComposer for this comment on Voldemort Is Sort of Hilarious...

Voldemort may be just like an angry 13 year old girl, but thank goodness he isn't one. Can you imagine what a PMSing Voldemort would be like?!

*shudders*

~too~ for this comment on The Committee of Cool: Darwin Deez...

ABORT ABORT ABORT ABORT!!!!

The Invisibility Awards for great answers to last weeks' hidden message go to...

hlucero06 for...

Hmmm... if I could see one invisible thing?

The witty (and pretty small) part of me wants to say something poetic and mystical like "God" or "music" or "Edward Cullen's dignity" (wait, that last one may not exist).

But let's face it. I think we all know I want to see the invisible monster under my bed who steals my socks. I'd like to give him a good smack, for leaving me with a bunch of onesies. What am I supposed to do with the other socks?

DontWorryBeHappy:) for...

If I could see one invisible thing, it would be wrackspurts. They're always attacking my brain and I can never fend them off. They make me lose focus and go on Facebook and Sparklife when I should be doing schoolwork. They're a menace to society, I tell you!

snychrogirl117 for...

How did you find the hidden message? I DON'T SEE IT! But I cheated, and saw everyone else's answers. If I could see one invisible thing, it would be this dumb hidden question! Where is ittttt?

GlitterGirl0312 for...

If i could see one invisible thing, it would be the eighth color. O_o

midnight_masquerade for...

MutantFrogsAreOnTheLoose for...

If I could see one invisible thing, it would be the Spanish Inquisition. It must be invisible, because no one expects the Spanish Inquisition.

biskvitkaimlyako for...

If I could see one invisible thing, it would be myself because then that would mean I was invisible. TASTES

Habby Weekend Sparklers!

Whoops, we liked that typo, so we left it. We mean "happy."
