Y'know... even while I was saying that, I remember thinking to myself, "I really shouldn't say this, because if I ever get into a tie with her I'm essentially saying I deserve to lose." Damn.
Never ignore the psychic voices again, mmkay?
But, honestly, I stand by what I said earlier. Ayumi had the better portfolio, she deserved to beat me, and that's that. (Plus, the tie means that she sucks just as much as I do. In your face, biatch!) I may think she's the worst thing that's happened to this competition in a long time, but I'm nothing if not honourable. In the FBI's main office complex, there's a poster of the old English legend in which St. George fights the dragon, and underneath it is the caption "Sometimes the Dragon Wins."
My dragon won. It's not a storybook ending, which is too bad, but sometimes life works out like that. Far as I'm concerned, I overcame a pretty serious amount of detrimental factors to get where I got, and nobody in this competition can say they worked nearly as hard to get to the end as I did. (Four fricking hours in a London hotel lobby trying to listen to Whitney Houston songs and find anything that fit. I'd never heard any of her songs in my life. @_@)
Anyway, I'd just like to say a huge thanks to the judges for all of your hard work. I know from personal experience that it can be a pretty miserable task to judge all of the photos and get almost no thanks in return, so thanks for all of your time and effort. You guys are pretty much the best judging panel ever.
Guess that's all for me.
Love,
Emmy.
PS - If anybody was wondering, my game-long feud with Katy was actually completely random. I decided on day one that I would pick a random person and make them my archnemesis just for the hell of it, which got pretty bizarre when almost every person in game except Katy started lining up to assassinate me, and then we got eliminated in the same round. I have no idea who on earth Katy is, and I certainly have no beef with them.
PPS - Here's something that'll blow your mind: guess how many times in my life I had used photoshop prior to this competition?
One. I did one recolour of a photo back in season four, and that took me literally an entire night to do because I had no idea how on earth the bloody wand tool worked. That was the sum total of my experience.
Still awesome.
