This country is so messy 
Like, how do they find boxes of marked ballot papers in a park and do nothing? And several other such cases where ballot papers went missing
I can't wait to leave this country

WAIT wtf, I never noticed that...  I think a thread I posted in got deleted or something because I never deleted any posts.
Ugh... so now that means my 50,000th post was something basic.  Not that my actual 50,000th post was anything extravagant, but you know.

Once upon a time, There was a little boy born in a little town. He was perfect, or so his mother thought. But one thing was different about him. He had a gold screw in his belly button. Just the head of it peeping out.
Now his mother was simply glad he had all his fingers and toes to count with. But as the boy grew up he realized not everyone had screws in their belly buttons, let alone gold ones. He asked his mother what it was for, but she didn’t know. Next he asked his father, but his father didn’t know. He asked his grandparents, but they didn’t know either.
That settled it for a while, but it kept nagging him. Finally, when he was old enough, he packed a bag and set out, hoping he could find someone who knew the truth of it.
He went from place to place, asking everyone who claimed to know something about anything. He asked midwives and physickers, but they couldn’t make heads or tails of it. The boy asked arcanists, tinkers, and old hermits living in the woods, but no one had ever seen anything like it.
He went to ask the Cealdim merchants, thinking if anyone would know about gold, it would be them. But the Cealdim merchants didn’t know. He went to the arcanists at the University, thinking if anyone would know about screws and their workings, they would. But the arcanists didn’t know. The boy followed the road over the Stormwal to ask the witch women of the Tahl, but none of them could give him an answer.
Eventually he went to the King of Vint, the richest king in the world. But the king didn’t know. He went to the Emperor of Atur, but even with all his power, the emperor didn’t know. He went to each of the small kingdoms, one by one, but no one could tell him anything.
Finally the boy went to the High King of Modeg, the wisest of all the kings in the world. The high king looked closely at the head of the golden screw peeping from the boy’s belly button. Then the high king made a gesture, and his seneschal brought out a pillow of golden silk. On that pillow was a golden box. The high king took a golden key from around his neck, opened the box, and inside was a golden screwdriver.
The high king took the screwdriver and motioned the boy to come closer. Trembling with excitement, the boy did. Then the high king took the golden screwdriver and put it in the boy’s belly button. Then the high king carefully turned the golden screw. Once: Nothing. Twice: Nothing. Then he turned it the third time, and the boy’s ass fell off.

King Jason (Derulo) is killing me.  Wiggle is #9 on iTunes, mainly just because it's become a massive viral hit on Vine. It was just added on radio yesterday. I mean... king doesn't even have to lift a finger for that promo!

Probably tonight. 
But the funny thing is AshleeSimpsonFan, MusicTalker and I all just hit 50k this week, so it'll be a constant battle.

Ooh, true. The little list thing excludes banned people while they're absent from the site. When she returns, she'll appear back on the list. So I guess I'm technically #12.

Gavin where'd you hear that? |
The MC was actually a sign-up thing. The tournament was the top 32 posters. 
I was thinking of doing another tournament for the #33-64 top posters in RT.

I'd probably add in some new people in the top 32, too, because I saw that Ferrer popped up in there as well.

I just noticed that my posts have filled up about half of this page.  Let me pause a biT. Well I'm going to my last class anyways so I suppose I'm forced to.
Tomorrow is gonna be so nice and chill at school.  First period we're watching Night At The Museum, second we're watching Gulliver's Travels, third we have a sub so I'll just play on my iPod, fourth is normal, fifth I'll just play on my iPod as usual, sixth I'll be on ATRL as usual, seventh I'm not sure but we always chill in that class.  #swag
