haha. The made my day a bit brighter..
I was sitting here. and got an e-mail. From this poetry thingy.
I sent in a poem to this company.. like a poetry contest. But I only did it because you had to sign up with a sponser before you got free access to some other website. .. whatever it was I can't even remember.
So I sign up.. post a stupid stupid poem I wrote.. and won 200 dollars. yippee. Which to my amazement, wasn't spent wastefully as I usually do with paychecks. I bought some new blank poetry books in which to keep all my writings in, and I've kept some for a secret stash in case I ever get in a fix, and want to buy something.
So anywho. I declined going to Walt Disney World for the poetry reading, it's a poets convention because it was like two weeks long and they had house and board for you, and .. it was like being away from home for two weeks, in dorms.. but at some Walt Disney World resort. .. I just didn't feel like going, I bet it would have been amazing, or then again I could have had to sit in a room for 12 hours a day, listen to some amazing/lame poems, and then go to bed.. woo-hoo..
They sent me an e-mail telling me that *they're sorry to hear that I'm not going to be able to attend the Walt Disney thingy and whatnot, but they will have someone in my place to read off my poem in front of the other 2000 people across the United States that are attending this convention.. and blah de blah. And all I have to do is submit a poem that they can read, and 169 dollars for the time and effort of finding someone to read a poem.. 169 dollars!! How much effort does it take to freaking read a *less then 20* sentence poem. bah. lol
Anywho, had I submitted a poem for them to read, and sent the 169 so that they could read it, I would be sent, some kinda plaque with my name on it and it's gold plated or something, 10 inches tall and .. this big ol' *extravgent* thing. .. oh .. yesh! Just what I always wanted.. :/ and then some kinda medal and a year subscribtion into this.. poet's club or something of that sort.. woo-hoo.. prizes!! .. and at the very very end of the letter it reads...

hahahahaha. I'm not sending in 169 dollars for the effot of reconizing my writing abilities, I'm sending in 169 dollars to pay for freaking awards, so I can feel special.. hahahaha. .. how amazingly stupid do people think I am.. :/
But that my made my day a little brighter. Because people are dumb. And I'm sure there's a 100 people out there, that would send that money in, thinking that they are going to get this award that means something amazing and not a single person other then themselves has this award.... haha. That amuses me.
