Chandler Finalist

Holy crap, I'm a goddamned finalist!
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.
Seriously- was anyone going to tell me at some point? Or were they all going to wait until I searched my name on Google randomly?
Holy gods! This is actually awesome- even if I don't win- it is awesome!

Not to take anything away from you, because youre a very good writer, but this isnt all that impressive or surprising. There were only 22 entries, of which over half were selected as finalists.

Anon 11:44,

Believe me, I'm well aware of that. I know there were only 22 entries and I know that I haven't won and also that it's not so impressive in the general scheme of things, but if you hadn't noticed, I happen to not be so happy recently and every little bit of cheering news is helpful. More importantly, it's not nice to diminish people's accomplishments, small as they may be. Also, statements like "not to take anything away from you" or "no offense, but" are stupid, because the disclaimer demonstrates that the statement DOES take something away from the person and DOES offend them.

Anon,

There is a time for speaking, and there is a time for silence. I suggest you train yourself in the art of the latter; the effect of words are sometimes lost on us.

Anon 11:44 am,did anyone ever tell you that “When a man points a finger at someone else, he should remember that four of his fingers are pointing at himself.”?

Why is this “HOLY CRAP!” “HOLY GOD!”? All they did so far was knock off the bottom half of the entries. Did you really think you would be in the bottom half?

May you win and force them to re-do their schedule -- the awards bankquet starts at 7:30pm on the Shabat before Rosh Hashanah, right around sunset in Minneapolis!
