A Giveaway, of sorts.

I like reading blogs. Alot. In fact, I would say that its about 60% of what I do online, besides obsessively checking Facebook and reading articles about Harry Potter. I like blogs of all sorts, from my friends and their daily lives to those famous mom blogs that are too funny (seriously, if you don't read RFML on a regular basis, you need to now. Go, do it. Then come back to me please!)  and some fashion blogs (though I seriously lack in that department). I have found that many of the more "famous" blogs out there, who have more followers than people I have even met in my entire life, always seem to have giveaways. Not giveaways in the sense like, "Hey, I've got some old crap in my garage and I'm giving it away! Come by and pick it up!" No, no. Giveaways like "If you comment on my page and follow my twitter and email me and text me and Facebook me and....then you could be entered to win all this free makeup from Clinique because the Clinique presidents liked my blog and therefore sent me all this fabulous stuff so I am giving it out to one of you, who I'll pick at random." Phew. That was a mouthful. Ya'll know what I am talking about?

Well, my blog isn't that cool. I have no corporate sponsers and I believe my only readers are my relatives and three friends (maybe four). So I'll never have a cool giveaway like a free frip to Paris. But I thought to myself that that shouldn't stop me from having one! Let's call it The Unpopular Blog Giveaway, sponsored by me. Cool, right?

So here's the deal, to enter, you have to put your work into it. First, go to wikipedia and find the article on the state you were born in, then go to the line in the article that corresponds with the month you were born in, and using any words found in that line, create your own movie or book title. Leave a comment with your winning title and my panel of judges (well, just me) will select the winning entry. Additionally, all non winning contestants will automatically be entered into a drawing for the second place prize.

For example, I entered "California" and the twelfth line (since I'm born in December) read as

"American victory in the war led to the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, in which Mexico ceded Alta California to the United States. Western areas of Alta California became the state of California..."

so my movie title is "The State of United Victory: The Guadalupe Areas." Who knows what that movie would be about!

Here's the important stuff, the prizes:
-First place will recive ONE candy bar of their choosing and an entire blog post written about them on my blog.
-Second place will receive ONE candy bar of their choosing.

Choose wisely.


Fine Print. My husband thinks that I am a complete nerd for doing this, but I am doing it anyway.
