Whatever happened to....Team Suck

11/04/2006 10:51:34 PM · #701

Thanks for the nice words on my Wind entry, Don. It didn't tickle your fancy but you liked it well enough.

God, I'm so itching to pull my SP. Deb, you talked me into this. I'm so nervous. I have a little over an hour to decide.

11/04/2006 10:59:54 PM · #703

Here's the deal - leave it in at least until about midday tomorrow. If you think it's sucking more than our normal range of suck, pull it via self DQ. But I think you oughta hang with it. Do you like it?

Oh, and the masters will have their top stuff in there. I can't compete with that no matter what, so I don't even try. I tried to do something a little different.

I actually ended up liking a few I did for the self-portrait challenge. When the next one comes up (and it will, I'm sure) I highly recommend you participate. Not only is it a blast but everyone is very encouraging and you'll learn a bit, too. In my case, I learned that I still don't like how I look but that I can accept it a bit better - most days. :-)

I liked the idea I had for my self portrait, but didn't have the time or Photoshop skills to make it look even reasonable. Brown Ribbons for Team Minus!

That's the 30 day SP'ers votes so far, I'm quite sure. It'll come WAY down, but I figured I'd post while I had the chance! :-)

11/05/2006 12:31:16 AM · #712

I'm already down below 5... :<

Mine's on it's way down, too. By morning I expect the 5.3 range.

I glanced through the self portraits and will come back later to vote. Everyone deserves an A+.

I beg your pardon, missy, but that's not quality sucking. First of all, you're beating my score in Wind, and I think my score pretty much rocks in that one. Second of all, nothing above a 5.3 can be considered "sucking". And finally, a fav in the SP beats a full house and a straight. So there! :-)

The way my SP has been dropping, I'm expecting sub-five at any time now. Now, take note... This is the proper way to suck!

I am sucking right down the line. oddly, the landscape and wind comments explain my low score, but free study and self portrait comments are mostly positive.
