Nored.
I wish I had somethign worth saying, but really I don't. But, I said the result to the last competition would come out today, so it is, now.
The answer was that my mum got me a cheese slicer. If I were at home, I'd take a photo, but I'm not. Maybe I'll take one tonight, and add it to the post. If I weren't so lazy, I'd look through Google Images to find something similar to mine. But I'm lazy.
I guess Carolyn was the closest, since it is effectively a "sharp string". Of course, it is actually really a wire. But, since she wasn't really right, she won't get the full amount of points on offer. She will get...11 points (the number of letters in "sharp string".
Other people who posted will get up to 5 points for their efforts.
As for the randomness - The title of the post and the first 'PS' were from The Emperor's New Groove. Funny movie that!
Roadshows were great on the weekend. Well done for all invovled. It was a pity I couldn't see those involved at Modbury as well, but I had commitments by Firle Chapel.
Well, I'm done. Sorry this was such a lame post...Hope you all have a great day!

Let's End This!
So, my mum finally got back from Sydney yesterday, and broughtmy dad with her! He only went on Friday, so I hadn't been home alone for very long. Living on your own would be pretty boring. Well, I thought it was for the weekend. But it's ok, I had stuff to do.
Anyway, my mum brought me a really cool present back from Sydney! It was something really simple, for use with everybody's favourite food, cheese. So, that means it's competition time! if you can get the right answer of what it was, you will win 3 times as many points as there are letters in your correct answer. So, if the answer were 'a block of cheese' that has 14 letters, so you would win 14 * 3 = 42 points. But if you got more specific with your answer and said 'a big block of edam cheese' and that were also correct, you would get 21 * 3 = 63 points. Thus the challenge is to be as specific as possible, while still being right. And, of course, only thefirst person who gets the right answer gets the points.
Consolation prizes will be awarded by me however I so choose. And just so you know, the real answer is actually quite short. And yes, I will give tha answer out after a period of time if no one gets it right.
In other news, Uni is back on. Haven't done much so far (just one lecture, another one in half an hour). Yay!!
Also, our fireside last night was really good (I think). Thanks to everyone who spoke, sang, played the piano, prayed, conducted music, prepared food or was just in attendance. Actually, a special thanks to anyone who decided to change because of something they felt. For those who weren't in attendance, it was about the Book of Mormon. We had 8 wonderful young adults share personal experiences and testimonies of blessings gained by study of the Book.
Thanks, have a good day!
PS. Ladies first.
PPS. 19 points for recognising the randomness...
280
So, Some of you have seen the points tally over on the right column there somewhere. And some of you have complained about some people perhaps not having points on there who deserve to have points. Well...that might be true. But i'm running this show, so I'll run it like I want to. And I didn't make it very convenient to edit. But I will update it sometime. And if you have points that need to be credited, email me and let me know who gave them to (or who you're giving them to) and why, and eventually I'll probably put them up.
So, I'm in Sydney again. Someone just asked me if I was here to get engaged. I unfortunately had to say no. But that's only because it is still a secret. Oh, wait....
So anyway, it's cool being here, staying at my sister's place, with her 2 month old girl Adelaide (Lady). And we visited my brother and his week old boy Blaise the other day, and might be over there again today. Havn't been up to much other than family stuff though. There was a YSA fireside on Sunday night, but I didn't really meet anyone i hadn't met last time i was here. Ok, that's not entirey true, I met a couple of people. It was a good fireside.
Lady is really cute.
Oh, if anyone tells you that I nearly killed people on the way home from the dance at Craigmore last week, it isn't true. I'm a safe driver, and everyone was always completely safe. I wasn't even tried. I'll tell you what though, I was the next day. After I got home from the dance at about 1:00 I checked my email (the computer was still on...). I had a message from a former missionary friend, and one of my companions is engaged! He must only have been home for a couple of weeks. But his girlfriend was really cool, so that's pretty exciting for them! Anyway, back to my story about me, I then had to pack my bag to go to Sydney. I probably finally finished that by 2:30 or so, and went to bed. Then I had to leave for the airport at 6:00. I took my laptop in the plane, just incase i wanted to get some stuff done (not my mouse though - no radio comunications stuff in planes). But instead I just slept. Or tried to.
So anyway, I was tired, but now I'm all good.
Anyway, I'm done. This is Dallin Howes, reporting from Sydney!
PS. Oh, 74 points to whoever can guess what 280 is for. 12 points to anyone who comes up with a good creative guess answer thing.
