After adding up the scores for the summer splash contest, it seems that we have a tie for third place between Entries Six and Seven.

Now we will have a tiebreaker vote, which will last one day and one day only. Whoever wins this tie will be granted third place, and the loser will claim honorable mention.

The polls will be closed tomorrow after 3 pm EST.

Good luck to the contestants!

Entry Six

Entry Seven

Good Luck to the Contestants!

Why Hello Everyone! I have finally been able to get to a computer and get this interview up. As I am currently on vacation still and this old computer can't do much, Staff Member of the Week will be taking a short break. (Only about a week.) So enjoy Allwer's interview!!!

How did you come up with the VMK name Allwer? Is there some hidden meaning there?
I had combined my name with three letters that were together, wer, and my name became Allwer. Unfortunately, my name doesn't have some cool meaning to it.

What are your plans after high school? What college do you want to attend? What do you want to do as a career?
My plan is go to a college in my state since they offer scholarships if you keep A's and B's. It is always nice to have free money for school!

The grocery store parking lot that will hold 1000 vehicles, 2/5 of the parking spaces are for cars. When you went to buy some groceries, there were 200 cars and some trucks in the parking lot. The parking lot was 3/4 full. How many trucks were in it?
550.

Why is the sky blue?
The sky is blue because the color of the ocean reflects off into the sky. So, I guess if the world said, "Hey, let's put orange dye in the ocean and watch it turn orange!", the sky most likely would turn orange.

Do you do any extra-curricular activities? If so, what are they? Which is your favorite and why?
There is a Grease musical that my high school is going to have in the spring. I might try out for it.

If you could meet any singer, who would it be and why?
I would like to meet Tyson from The All-American Rejects, because I like the band he is in. And I like Tyson Chicken.

Which Disney character would you say you relate to the most and why?
I would probably be like Belle. I like to read, I like to sing and I am smart and so is Belle.

What was the best birthday you ever had so far and why?
My favorite one so far was when my favorite teacher came to my birthday party in second grade.

What is your favorite thing to do during the summer?
I like to go to Stone Mountain Park.

If a genie granted you three wishes, what would they be? (Besides wishing for more wishes.)
Wish one- an unlimited amount of money on a credit card.
Wish two- I would like to visit England.
Wish three- to become a famous singer/actress/writer.

Do you collect anything? If so, what?
Maybe books, I can't think of anything else.

What is your favorite song to sing?
Ever Ever After by Carrie Underwood.

What is your favorite dessert?
Ghirardelli triple chocolate brownies.

Where is your favorite place in the world and why?
Massachusetts is my favorite place because most of my relatives are there. It also has a really huge science museum.

Who is your favorite Jonas brothers and why?
Nick is my favorite because of his personality and I like his curly hair.

Would you rather blow bubbles or draw with chalk?
I would rather draw with chalk. You can be more imaginative with chalk.

If you could go to Beijing to watch the Olympics which sport would you want to go watch?
I would like to see either Men's or Women's gymnastics.

Which holiday is your favorite and why?
St. Patrick's Day is my favorite holiday because you get to wear green!

If someone made a movie about you, which actress would you want to play you and why?
I would want Emma Watson because she has hair like mine.


Yum. Chicken. Credit Cards with no limits. Carrie Underwood. Brownies. And of course Nick Jonas. Who could have asked for a sweeter interview? Thanks for sending in your questions everyone, and to Allwer for her wonderful answers! Until next time,
Adaie

After our really cool trip to Europe with Magic's human, we thought we'd try again with Shape's human. We heard she was taking a trip to Las Vegas and so we all stowed away in her suitcase. It was a pretty cool trip, but boy did we have to pack a lot in to four days!

Our first day out, Shape's human took her family to visit the very famous ghost and mining town called Calico. When her human wasn't looking, we hopped out and had a few adventures of our own!







Then Magic decided to arrest Lastinside - for the crime of not answering his messages!



As we left Calico we hit some awesome desert storms! Lightening is so awesome...did you know that desert storms look like this?:



We finally made it to Las Vegas and found our room at the Orleans



It had a really awesome view, too bad the night time pics didn't turn out



The next day we went to Hoover ***. What an amazing site it is!





Here is a view of us in front of Lake Mead (Lake Mead is the lake formed by the ***)



And did you know that Hoover *** is half in Nevada and half in Arizona? Here is a picture of us on the state lines - Last is in Nevada, Shape is in Arizona, and Magic is cut in half!



On the way back from the *** we stopped at the Ethel M's chocolate factory and cactus garden. Ok, so the factory tour was pretty lame (it used to be cool) but at least they gave us some free chocolate!



While exploring the cactus garden, Last got a little too close to one of the cacti - or was he pushed?



Back at the hotel, we found time for a little rest and relaxation... some time at the pool



and Shape even got some reading done



Day three was all about wandering around town.

Our first stop was Mandalay Bay and the Shark Reef Aquarium there. Last had a good time, visiting with some of his underwater friends





Wait Last! I don't think that is such a good idea!



Then we were off and running - next stop, to say hello to the sphinx



And then a quick run through of Excalibur, New York New York and MGM





Finally we made it to M&M world





We were exhausted, but we had lots of fun - we'll never forget Magic getting up close and personal with Elvis:



and being told to use the side door



And that was it for our time in Vegas. But just when we thought it couldn't get any better...you'll never guess what happened to us on the way home! Last found the mother ship!



And a few GAA recruits:





So, that is all to say we had a great time. We hear that Shape's human is headed to San Francisco and Sequoia National Park in a couple of weeks. I think we'll all stowaway for that trip too! Stay tuned for the next adventure!

Vmk_princess: Which Pixar movie is your favorite and why? (Submitted by FairieSprite)

Tinkrox: Um.... at the moment I think Wall-E, because it sends out an interesting message and it's more mature. But I still love the ones that aren't mature.

Princess: Who is your hero (famous or not) and why? (Submitted by FairieSprite)

Tink: My parents are my heroes... They're always there for me. The brave people fighting for us right now are my heroes... They're risking their lives for us. And TONS more!!!!!!

Princess: Is Tinkerbell really your favorite Disney character? (Submitted by Allwer)

Tink: I love Tinkerbell, but I do like other characters more. I'm not sure if she's my absolute favorite, but she rox.

Princess: If you could have a special power, what would it be and why? (Submitted by Allwer)

Tink: I would fly!!!!!!!! I think from watching all those hero movies, it looks like so much fun! Plus everyone wants to be able to fly without being in a plane or something lolz.

Princess: Thanks, Tink, it was a great interview.

Well that's it for now, check back soon for Disney's interview.

Alright all you wonderful Addicts! We are now again starting up our Staff Member of the Week, with a little twist. I, Adaie, am now going to be your "host" to give Coaster a little break and some well deserved help. Everything will still run the same as before, I will repost the breakdown for everyone though.
Every week, one staff member will be chosen to answer questions that are submitted by you guys! It will be a great way for you to get to know your VMKaddict staff a little better. You can ask questions about anything related to the board, VMK, or something in real life (nothing personal such as name, address, etc.).

The Breakdown:
1. I will announce the staff member of the week.
2. You will PM me the questions (you can post them too, but I need one in a PM to keep it organized). There is a limit for now of two questions per member. This number may change next week based on the number of questions I get.
3. After the date that I announce, I will PM all the questions to that staff member and they will answer them.
4. You will then get an "interview" of that member with your fantastic host, Adaie!
