GUYS I'M FALLING BEHIND IN THE VOTES ON ZINCH. KDFNJRWQNGJKREQWBGKJEBNJ


*PANIC*

Also: Check out my newly edited essays. Third one later tonight hopefully.

They aren't amazing yet. I just need all three of them written in draft form before truly hammering out PERFECTION.

So every teacher I told basically exploded with joy and enthusiasm when I told them what I planned to do. My English teacher tore the resume I had typed up out of my hand and declared he was writing a letter to our Rep to ask for a recommendation for me. My AP History teacher said she'd help in any way she could. Etc, etc...

And then I told my grandparents.

*headwall* THEY YELLED AT ME FOR AN HOUR. "Misty do you know how EXPENSIVE that is?" "Do you want to do this or go to college?" "Politics is so corrupt!" "You'll be raped/killed/eaten alive." "EXPENSIVE." "YOU'RE TOO YOUNG." "Why can't you just do a more feminine thing like Psychology?" "When you find a nice boy and settle down you'll forget all about politics!" And that's where I reminded them I was bi, they shut up for a minute and then told me they wouldn't help pay if I was accepted. I tried to explain how this would really benefit me when I go into politics.

I'd been on such a high after my teachers' reactions. They brought me down so low.

Which is why I need the Zinch scholarship even more. That will pay for most of my first year of college and hopefully get them to reconsider DC. I need that scholarship like burning.

And I know you guys are busy and I keep asking, but ANYTHING you can do to help. Because I am applying for that internship and I think, coming from a red state, and with the new "YAY BIPARTISAN" spirit this administration has I have an excellent chance.

So please, I need you to contact anyone you know to vote for me now, later in the Regionals (especially then) and then in the final 64. Message other members of the site and ask them to vote for me.

Get adults to vote for me too. When they register they just say they are college students or "other." Get your parents/friends/family/anyone to vote. *feels horrible for pressuring you guys butbutbut. D:*

I want this so badly, MORE THAN ANYTHING IN MY ENTIRE FUCKING LIFE:

This guy:

http://www.zinch.com/Voting/Regionals.aspx?GroupId=44#Tucker-Abbott

Is a sweetie. When I voted for him in exchange for his vote he told all his friends to vote for me too. He's from Vermont so I'm not really competition yet....Vote for him, please?

....

I know I'm asking a lot recently but anyone who's joined the site and plans on actually using it for themselves? Could you maybe...CAMPAIGN FOR ME? I mean offer to vote for people in other states if they vote for me?

When I left for school this morning I had sixty votes and now I have eighty. :DD I DON'T KNOW HOW. :DDDDDDDDD

I'm trying to write a script, get all gussied up and webcam myself to post a video asking for votes on youtube but I'm having trouble with the script. Hmmm.

Any suggestions on campaign methods? I'm going to make a Facebook group and a myspace group for Zinch but anything else?

Voting starts today at around 9:00 Mountain time.

And I've been informed you don't need an account to actually vote. It logs your IP address (though I think you can vote more than once. Hint hint?)

*pokes friends who have a lot of friends* HEY VOTING WILL ONLY TAKE A FEW SECONDS. ENCOURAGE THEM TO USE THOSE FEW SECONDS AND VOTE FOR ME??? D:

ILU all.

....And I'm in the semi-finals. It's an internet-web-based site and semi-finalists from states move forward to regionals and then regionals move on to national.

For Oklahoma, I am one of the semi-finalists. : D

Did I mention the scholarship was $20000?

Catch is? It's set up like a popularity contest from this point on. People have to vote for me. To vote you only need to be a member (it's free and if you're still in high school next year you can try for the scholarship too.)

I'd ya know, *kicks dirt a bit* be glad if you guys would sign up and vote for me.

....Because you love me? Yes? RIGHT? ;___;

I MEAN SURE IT'S A LONG SHOT, BUT I FIGURE WHY NOT TRY?????
