For those that may wonder, she and I have both been around the site for awhile, so she knows that my trash talking is just that, she is an incredible photographer. :)

Now I have to find a way to finish her off! MUHAHA

Hahahaha...yeah...I know ya only too well...but a promise is a promise.....I have my whips.....and I will draw blood....!!!!

Look's like

vlado's up one already as my Best of 2008 was so-so. We'll see what the next two challenges bring in the first round...do you have any numbers to show

vlado? Personality is definitely the decider for us...I wouldn't be at all surprised that your score has gone up.

I will definately be in one of the open challenges, not sure which one yet. (so either sound or silence)
I am going to check out "tree" and see if I get something I like.

How about you? what are you entering, have you decided yet?

Hey Mark, I've just had a validation request for my personality shot, its currently a high 5.7 and I'm hoping the request is for something I'm aware of and should pass muster without issue.

Hows 'your' personality?
