I just won a vampire writing contest at the library with a short story I call "The Transformation" (which you can find here: [link]). Yesterday I went to the library to attend a party at which I would be given my prize. Unfortunately it was a Twilight themed party and a Twilight themed prize, and, as most of those who know me also know, I kind of abhor Twilight. The prize bag included the New Moon movie, the New Moon soundtrack, a Twilight t-shirt, two Breaking Dawn buttons, five Twilight/New Moon/Eclipse posters, and an iPod nano.

I had no idea the prize would be Twilight-themed! I just like to write!

Fortunately I know of two close friends who like Twilight. I split up my winnings between them (except for the iPod, which I kept myself): the friend who likes Edward, Angela, will receive the shirt, a button, the soundtrack, and the three posters that feature Edward and other dead people. The friend who likes Jacob, Reem, will receive the movie, a button, and the two posters that feature Jacob and other giant dogs. I figured that the shirt and soundtrack were equal to the movie, so, although Angela will get more things, it evens out.

I feel so generous, even though I admit I'm only doing this because I can't stand to have Twilight merchandise in my house. I'm almost glad that the prize was nearly all Twilight stuff, because it gives me the chance to be this generous. I know, though, that if it was a Lord of the Rings, Earthsea, or Artemis Fowl prize I would hoard it all to myself. Heh...heh, heh...

So, congratulations to Angela and Reem. You win money. (Not really. I'm just quoting.)
