Santa’s Escape
Posted by salviahomewood on December 21, 2009
I entered the Second Spaces Santa’s Escape Design Contest last week. We were to fill a shadowbox with the place that Santa would escape to after Christmas. The story of my entry was, Santa has a green thumb, and when Christmas is over, he says he’d rather be gardening.
I didn’t win, but it was fun. I got an IM from someone the evening of the contest saying, “Ha ha you have too many prims.” I answered, “Okay, that’s certainly possible. Why do you think that’s funny?” This morning she replied, “That means you couldn’t win, and you didn’t, did you?” I checked the profile of the person who sent it, and she wasn’t a native English speaker, so maybe she didn’t understand how rude that was, that you don’t laugh at someone else’s misfortune. I honestly don’t understand people who do things like that. Why say anything at all?
It’s certainly possible that I went over the prim limit. I had written everything down and added them up, but it was tedious, and I was close, and I probably missed something. It would be great if, when people have these kinds of contests, they could supply a prim counter, like my home does. I tried to find a portable one somewhere so I could check, but I couldn’t find one.
Speaking of which — I was looking at rental property, and ran across a place where the landlord said, “Don’t go over your prim limit. If you go over, the first 24 hours you’ll be charged $50L, and after that, $L100 per prim each day that you’re over limit.” Nice, huh? So understanding.
So anyway, the winners I would have chosen are:
SarahTheRed Aurbierre
Aisuru Rieko
Chloe Thirdborn
I went back over last night and played around in my shadowbox, among the plants.
