Yay its starting. I didn't apply, ended up opting out. Trying to re-work a lot of stuff IRL so I didn't want to commit. XD

Whoo hoo, starting tomorrow! I work 7am-3pm, then we're having guests over.
But I'm hoping to get in some good Mene time tomorrow evening / night~

judges stay quiet and don't offer avi advice before hand right? :D i re-read the FAQ's :]

yaaaayyy I'm so excited to be a judge!

also: omg my baby so cute <3

:whip: i am James Jones or Indiana Bond... hmmm

I'm short too ~ But, I think my fav. is only the ride that goes round a round in a circle with cubicle sized individual cars. xD Well, I think they need to somehow re-design the roller coaster seats and boat seats because I KNOW I'll end up flying out of those things. T T;

Oooo! You wear glasses?! I have such a fetish for them even though I have 20 x 20 vision. [problem]
Omaigosh! We have new ICONS! D:

I love rollercoasters as long as they don't completely make my fear of heights spazz out. xD

Like, there's something called the Manta at Sea World (or similar). It has the coaster make you face down over the park as it zooms around, so you see the ground the entire time (except in the rare loop-de-loop). I was having a mini panic attack as I rode the first few yards of it (where it creeps up the slope thing facing down over pavement so you know precisely where you will fall if the safety measures fail!) Once it actually got going, it was less terrifying - though I did cling white-knuckle to the grips. Did not go on it again. xD

And there are rides that are often called something like "Freefall" where they do sort of an elevator to take you to the top of a tower-like thing so you can see the entire park. (Sometimes there's a second step where they tilt you forward.) And then (in either method) they drop you, so you hurtle towards the ground (worse, I'm sure, when you can see the ground coming up). I do not ride those. The only exception is the Tower of Terror in DisneyWorld, which is basically the same concept, but in a more manageable (for me) method. I've probably ridden that one a bit less than a dozen times through the years. I'd ride it more if it weren't generally so busy. xD

Starts today *excitement*

First challenge is up. Good luck everyone!

What a cool and interesting challenge! I already found a movie I think I want to use...looks super intense and pretty awesome! Now to just figure out how to portray it as an avatar XD

I love it!

LOL I got frenchy? XD
I was actually thinking of Lumiere today, singing "Be our guest." ><;
I can't get it out of my head && Ditto to what Kent asked!

It's up to you, though it's just my general opinion that cosplays are a cop-out in avatar contests.

Okedokey, that's all I needed. Thank you ~

Think outside the box guys, I know you can do it!

I'm super excited!! *starts looking for possible movie choices*

I may try to do a country that isn't up there xP

that way I do not have to wait until after the challenge is over to try it ^.^

wait i get dutch films? i have not only never seen a dutch film but i dont even think i know of any dutch films. and when i typed it into google i get "Because the Dutch film industry is relatively small, and there is little or no international market for Dutch films, almost all films rely on state funding." :lol: this is definitely a challenge....

It's a challenging challenge indeed, but still a good one. You'll be ok ^.^

do you know any dutch films that are not german? because i asked all my roommates and after looking it up in the interest... we came up with dutch porn and a sweedish film that we thought might be from holland. can i change mine to sweedish? i know some sweedish films!
