I disagree with skbs statement that you two automatically deserve it more than anyone else. (Nothing personal I voted for you!)
Great show on PBS to have in the background. "Nature" talking about peoples relationship with dogs and cats. Comes on again a 3am central.
To be honest, I agree. I honestly don't think I deserve it at all XD...I think it's funny. I haven't written any scripts for a while. Honestly, if I deserved TOTM for my scripts, I deserved it months ago. But I don't think I should be eligible because I don't post hits anyway. I realize my scripts are helpful, and I'm more than happy to oblige but I don't really care that much XD...But yeah, it's out of my hands. I didn't nominate myself. I did vote for myself, but I was like vote #3 for me, and I didn't really think I had a chance. SKB was ahead of me the entire time until we began "campaigning". The only reason I pulled ahead, I think, is that I posted gifs. Again, to be honest, I appreciate the nomination and everything, but had I known it would cause this much drama, I would have declined. Do I want TOTM? Of course, who doesn't. I want Master's too, and eventually I believe I'll get it. I'm in no rush, I've got plenty of things to be proud of. A banner doesn't define me I am appreciative of the love everyone's shown me though, it's really cool to know that I'm noticed

TOTM is about more than just posting hits. People help in their own ways. Scripts, hits, answer questions for noobs. Many different things.

That was not my statement. You were here last night. We were both complimenting each other(and yes I do think TJ deserves it) but that is not really what I just said. We were having a love fest more then anything else and if that is unfair then geesh, sorry.

Oh I know, which is why I didn't PM anyone saying I wished to withdraw It just wasn't handled properly. We both messed up; we might have been in the lead nomination wise, and voting wise for a while, but we should have drawn attention to the vote itself, not us. Can't be helped now. I've sort of stepped back from the whole thing. Whatever happens, happens. I've told people in private, I'm of the opinion that since SKB and I have been so neck and neck the whole time, whoever doesn't win this month will most likely win next month. I can't guarantee that, of course, but I honestly don't think either of us would be upset no matter what the outcome.
Thanks, LovetheBeach. Stuff like that is my speed, even at my best. I looked at other stuff from that Requester, and some of it was daunting for the money. I tried one. It's not as easy as TaskRabbit, but not as tedious as a Jimmy Dragon business card. As is the custom in such things, the Requester showed me a 'sample' which was straightforward, then gave me a HIT that was more of a doozie: water skiiers somersaulting in midair. I had to learn to disregard the positions of the people entirely and orient the shots based on the treeline at the horizon. I can imagine hitting my pace with those .. and right about the time I hit peak speed, they'd cut off at ten for the day (or the batch or whatever). Thanks for pointing these out (and for the heads-up on the apparent limit).
That thing must be full of great quotes. Two minutes in: "Cat people, I think, thrive on rejection." xD
And that is what I said the entire time. I never said (except in extreme jest) that I wanted it. I conceded to TJ in all truthfulness and realness before voting even began. Others took it and ran with it and then YOU dragged me in by not being willing to admit that maybe there was a wee midge that you might have gotten wrong. You still haven't. It's like you are my twin sister, never been wrong in your life, yeah?
