*collapses in thread*

Got home, changed, and gave the cat her meds by 9:53, and sent my trivia answers in by 9:58 XD

Wheee!

The first hour is up, but you still have 23 hours to get your answers in! I'm just going through all of the entries that have been received so far to see who's in the first hour draw, and I'll be announcing the winner as soon as I've gone through them all

WOO! That was fun XD

*crosses fingers* Whoohoo!

Well, I won't post who all ended up in the final draw, but there were 15 people who submitted correct surveys in the first hour - wow! I also discovered that the first question also has two possible answers, depending on the information you use, so I'm allowing both answers XD

In the end, random.org selected LvSoulFriend - congrats! That handsome Tribal stallion is all yours

The trivia challenge is open for another 23 hours, so there's still plenty of time to enter and get a chance at winning the Tribal mare!

A poem from Bramble to Magnanimity;

Oh my beloved, shining bright,
Throughout this endless winters night,
It warms my heart to see you near,
To be with you ends doubt and fear,
And when you hold me close to you,
I know ours is a love so true.



ETA: Ooooh, Congrats LV!!

Congrats LvSoulFriend!

Congrats LV!! I can't wait to see who gets his partner!

Congrats, Lv! ;D

Holy guacamole! Didn't expect to win him!

*squish him, and gets shrugged off* ;_; I think he's got an attitude *hears a snort in reply*

Yeah, definitely got an attitude on him!

So, who's in the draw for the Tribal mare?

Congratulations, Lv! Force of the Fire Plains truly looks like a powerful tribal warrior. Can't wait to see who gets his partner!

The trivia challenge is all finished, and random.org has decided the Tribal mare with go with Janalee - congrats Thank you to everyone for participating! I hope you all had fun!

And here's the trivia answers. I was pretty relaxed with what I allowed for the answers, and I think everyone got them all correct XD

1. Approximately how many valentines are sent anually in the US (not including e-valentines)?

According to Wikipedia the answer is 190 million, but according to the American Greeting Card Association the answer is 190 million to 1 billion, if you include children's valentine's. So, I accepted either number.

2. What emotion do red roses represent?

Love, romance, passion, etc.

3. How many lines are in a traditional Shakespearean sonnet?

14

4. In which month do the most breakups occur?

January

5. Which month is the most popular for weddings (two possible answers)?

June or August. Traditionally June has been the most popular month, but in recent years August has been the winner.

6. Which pasta do the romantic couple in the movie Lady and the Tramp eat together?

Spaghetti (and meatballs)

7. Which type of chocolate is the healthiest?

Dark/high cocoa chocolate. One submitted answer was Xocai Chocolate, which claims to be the healthiest, but I allowed it XD

8. Which animal has the largest heart?

Blue whale

9. How do you say "I love you" in French?

J t'adore, je t'aime, je vous aime, etc in that vein.

10. Approximately how many pounds of 'sweethearts' candies (also known as 'conversation hearts') are produced every day?

100,000 - which is a lot of conversation hearts o_o

Congrats!

Any ideas for the Song name?

*finally stops dancing long enough to post a response* Eeeee! Thanks so much Sushi! And I was just wondering if I should try to get a Tribal through modiems too...

@LvSoulFriend: I'll definitely try to come up with some ideas for Song names soon, after I stop being too excited to think. ^^ Did you have anything in mind so far?

Yay! Congratulations to both of you!
I absolutely love that mare, She makes me think of the Na'vi in Avatar n_n
I so badly want a Sam modeled after them xD

ALSO! My entry for the Card Illustration Contest!

Congrats Janalee!!

Hopefully I'll have some time to color this thing later in the week!

And my attempt at a poem (that I just now made up, go me!) that the stallion would recite to the mare:

It is you who sets the dew
of my loving heart ablaze
For whom I will forever
Sing my Song

It is you who keeps my eyes
alit in the dusty world
With whom I will forever
Tag along

It is you who lights my life
during these darkened days
To whom I will forever
Sing my Song

May we always be free
and share the light and love
of every waking day,
my One and Only

Congratulations Janalee! Envy of the Triumphant Skies has beauty, grace and a deadly edge, ready to kick tail if anyone dares try to mess with her or her stallion.

My poem!

You are my stallion, my passion, my love.
You are the one I think the world of.

Your gentle caress fills my heart with song.
When I'm alone, for you I do long.

So, here by your side, I know I will stay;
Tucked in your embrace until my last day.

I still need a partner for the Story contest, I'm a super procrastinator, so haven't found one yet. If someone wants to work fast with me today to enter, contact me here or on the Sam forums <3
If we win, I'd really love the Northern Aquatic - just to add that in there. >.> <3

A gift from Bramble to Magnanimity



And to go with those sam colored candy hearts a very bad piece of poetry

Tandil Berries are red
And Gleamstones are blue
I can’t think of another line
But I love you

(written between finals so forgive the unoriginality)

Hee! I love those hearts Echos, very cute idea. There have been so many fun entries so far, I'm really impressed with everyone's talent. I'm gonna have to get cracking on my entries but I've just been overloaded with tests.
Whose idea was it to stick all the tests in one week anyway? Blargh. x_x

Sushi, it's okay if our story entry is over 1k by a bit, yes? We can't trim it down anymore XD

Woo entries for the card contest!
