Oh, and for those of you that don't know CC.... the theme for September will probably be existentialism, some obscure emotion or feeling, or something French...

17. OMG, I didn't get cool prizes like this when I won 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place.

Except for having to host the next month's contest part when I won. (Although now that I think of it, my 2nd prize and 3rd prize were both published once upon a time.)

Well, never mind! CONGRATS TO ALL THE WINNERS! CC deserved to win with that amazing photo, and it's no surprise at all the 2nd and 3rd places.
