Rules:

4. Post your avatar in this thread. It can be a screenie, a tektek, or you can just post "Please use my current avatar." If you ask to use your current avatar, DO NOT CHANGE until I quote you that I have "taken you picture" so the one you want entered is the one that is entered. I'll try to "take your picture" within 24 hours, but I can't promise.

5. You may enter up to 3 times but you may only win once. I will be giving 13 Avatar Contest Prizes!

6. Bonus points if you use your avatar (either as yourself or as a post style) to carry on a conversation. Role play is encouraged! Please quote me with a link to your conversation if you did this after your avatar was entered in my contest or I won't know. You can post your conversation anywhere!

So this is a true story: My friends and I took a girl's trip to Florida for one of our birthdays. We were all laying on our towels of course with our straps undone to avoid tan lines. I was snoozing happily in my purple bathing suit..we had one girl to watch the tides cause she didn't want to sleep - well when the tide started to come in...God forbid she tells us LOL she simply picked up her stuff and moved...when that icy cold wave crashed on us...well at least on me haha I sat up quickly and flashed the entire beach! eek Live and learn - I guess it was a happy ending, cause we're still laughing about it! xd
