♥ Love/Crazy ♥

Love is:

Complicated,

Fun,

Emotional,

Intimidating,

Upsetting,

Unnerving,

Beautiful,

Grieve.......

_____________________________________

OKay, we all have our own versions of the love word. Most of us can't even say it yet without making a face

But in this contest, I want you to describe it. Everyone has their own opinions, and they are all welcome. There's only one rule though:

You can't use any of the above words.

And no, in this contest the thesaurus is not your friend. If you gave me:

Love is scary instead of intimidating, I will DQ you.

Brownie Points:
If you use idioms, similes, metaphors, etc.

Ex: Love Is: Like your Floating on clouds

Just something simple-


Good Luck!

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on January 29
  • Rewards: Gold: 150, Silver: 75, Bronze: 30, Honorable mention: 5 people
  • Final notes:
    This is the hardest contest I have EVER judged.Probably because I loved so many people's opinions I just felt like crying at some points.

    I am SO SORRY FOR THE DELAY! I moved, took a placement test after homeschooling, caught up with grades, and soccer tryouts. Basically I am tired, worn-out , and feel like crying. Although you probably don't want to know about that. So I'll just get to the point.

    Even if you didn't get that shiny trophy, everyone deserveded one. I was looking for one of the most original writing peices that I could relate to or added some of the author's experience. The reason I hosted this contest was basically because I didn't know what it felt like to be in love. Actually, I still don't know. I guess it will just be one of those things that I'll have to experience on my own. Although I still found reading all of your entries entertaining and truthful. One of the best contests ever.

    Thanks for entering, and once again I'm so sorry for making you wait too long. I hope you don't feel as if I didn't appreciate something you took time and effort to write for.

    Okay, I'll shut-up now.

    Thanx 4 entering,

    ~Lone

  9. Its hard to describe love, because right now i could never see myself 'Falling' IN Love. Its hard to actually think you could love a significant other so much that you would do anything for them and love them unconditionally.

          don't worry, I don't really care if it's something crappy that just popped in your head, or something well-planned out. You can probably say love is like a thousand needles poked into your skin, and I'd be just fine with that
