I'd put a link up previously, but this one is more in depth.  If you all would be so kind as to vote for me...that would be awesome!  You can submit your votes via e-mail to dreamwild1985@gmail.com, and I bolded my name for easy finding.  The deadline is today--I'd held off on purpose because it'll be fresh in your mind to do the voting today (that ( Read more... )
