Thanks for all the support guys!! I only got second but Katie is an amazing girl so if I couldn't win the contest, I'm glad she did. Not only is she a HUGE ATL fan, but she's super nice too. I'm pretty sure this will be my last contest on this site unless ATL has another contest on here for some reason. I will probably stop by to say hi or give random tens, but I won't be on here as much as I have been.

I've been getting this question a looot "How do you catch downvoters?" My answer isn't a perfect solution, and it can make you some enemies, but it works most of the time
it's just kind of random i mean you never know fer sure but if it says that someone in the same contest as me has voted for me when I browse contests, and they never left a comment on my entry and they aren't one of my dailies, I assume they downvoted.
my myspace is www.myspace.com/hiimlily if you want to add me, but tell me who you are first, the only random strangers I add are bands.

Hi.
I want to start this post off by thanking everyone who took the time to read into my thoughts, converse, speculate, draw conclusions about me, and above all, respond.
I’d also like to say that, although I try my best to keep my posts very open-ended, I’ve noticed that I’ve managed to piss a few people off with my words, and that was never my intention. I like to write - not for anyone but myself - but here and there, people have labeled me as an attention seeker, hell-bent on basking in the approval of my "adoring fans."
Know this; these posts are meant to serve as a window into my world, because it is my belief that many people deserve to know what goes on behind the smoke and mirrors of this lifestyle, and by spilling my thoughts onto the web, I’m attempting to open a door to those who care enough to take a few steps inside. Trust me, I consider myself lucky as hell to be where I am, (not to mention eternally grateful,) and by no means am I seeking any kind of glory, only the gratification of knowing that I let a few people feel what I have felt every now and then, which in my opinion, is the purpose of words; to convey emotion.
I’ve come to feel like I often set myself up for a little bit of trouble in attempting to be more than just a voice in a goofy band, because parts of my life - parts that would often be kept private, are spilled onto the web, and I’m essentially allowing complete strangers, and close friends, to do with them what they will.
I guess my point is this; my moods fluctuate. Sometimes I’ll write like a cynical bastard, and paint a dark portrait of myself that people will look at and assume is the norm. I’m not a jerk... at least I try not to be. I’ve been blessed with an amazing opportunity, and I spend every second of every day attempting to keep myself grounded. Some may not realize, but I often see the posts talking about the monster I’m becoming, and my response to you is nothing but apologetic. I am not perfect. No one is. I’m learning to grow into clothes that are three sizes too large for me, while trying to keep my ego from tearing the seams of this gross beanie I’ve been wearing for the past year. I only ask that you grow with me, and understand that not everything I’m going to live through and share with you, are the experiences of a good person.
We are all shades of gray.
Its been said again and again; life is a process,
we are fleeting moments that come and go,
and I’m grateful to have my time,
my aspirations and my mistakes,
my flaws and my abilities,
think of me what you will,
but before you do,
don’t.
Love you."
