I think you should vote for me because I’m in a fragile state right now. My self esteem is at it’s lowest ebb and sometimes I feel I’m going to crack, which frightens me because I have a shotgun in the basement behind the furnace, and like, maybe you would probably read about it in the papers, and say stuff like, “my, he seemed like a pleasant fellow,” and, “he didn’t seem like the type that would go on a rampage,” but of course you can prevent all that and save lives and kittens if you vote for me.

You should vote for me because…well, because a vote for me would be just as huge a surprise as the nominations were. Yeah. I got nominated for a couple of things! I’d _really_ like to thank whomever it was that nominated me for “Sexiest”! Boy, that was an ego boost! So vote for me! I’m a good citizen, I’m congenial, and sexy to boot! So after I’m done showing you a _very_ good time, I’ll fix you breakfast…then get up and wash the dishes. * * * “The quickest way to a man’s heart is through his ribcage.” --anonymous redhead ---

Thank you, Michelle. That was really sweet of you. I didn’t figure on getting nominated for anything because I’m so new here, nobody really knows me all that well. I must humbly admit that it feels nice to be recognized and thought of. 😃 You most definitely have my vote for shortest female. But I have to say that I think you were robbed of a nomination by the exclusion of a catagory called “Best Pet Advice.” You’d win that one hands down! And I think I at least deserve a vote from Uncle Beer, since I’ve got that whole redhead thing goin’ on. 😉 * * * “How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.” - Anne Frank ---

[sad violin music]Because I never get mentioned in the favorite poster threads, or the least favorite poster threads, or at the Doper meetings, and I’ve never had my name in a thread title, and people keep calling Gr8Kat “Kat” and I see that in a thread and have to start scrolling up to see what the heck I posted in that thread that I don’t remember even reading before, and I have posted the longer run-on sentence in this thread, and I am all out of ice cream, and I have a hole in my favorite t-shirt, **that’s why**![/sad violin music] ---

[steps up on soapbox] Why should you vote for me, a young girl, who few will recognize, with not even 100 posts? Because I epitomize all the mudanity and pointlessness we all strive for. On the old AOL board, I was named “Most Mundane and Pointless” by a fellow poster. I was given my own MPSIMS thread when the original was turned into baseball talk. One of my e-mail addresses is The\_Mundane\_And\_Pointless\_One. I still have it in me. A vote for Lanna is like a vote for yourself, especially if you’re a 16-year-old female with a phobia of crickets and fond spot in your heart for Play-Doh and tire swings. Eh, besides, if you don’t, I’ll have to start posting daily updates on my relationships, crises and life in general. Save your sanity, and vote Lanna as Most Mundane. (Page three, question 32.)
