Let me get this straight... you took the time and energy to actually post that this thread bores you?? WOW... it seems like someone is either 1) too young for this contest 2) doesn't live in the appropriate state to enter this contest, or 3) doesn't have a friend to write an essay about to enter this contest with.
#2 applies to me personally but I still wish everyone who CAN apply well. No need to be rude about it ...your screen name implies that you like the show, so what's the deal?
