Costume Contest Prize Guest Post, by AWESOME EMMA (Must read)

Tweet
So I had a Halloween costume contest for which the winner was awarded a guest post on this very here bolg. As you recall, the winner of the contest turned out to be Emma dressed as Buddy the Elf.  And according to her mom, Emma was so excited to win that she started working on her guest post immediately. And thanks to a fortuitous day off from school, Emma's guest post was kind of like a field trip. I don't want to spoil anything--and I implore you to read everything below in its glorious entirety--but I think we can all agree that Emma is going places in life. Because this is incredible. I'd say that we may have to introduce Emma to the Future Governor of Ohio, but frankly I'm not sure even he's cool enough.

Please read this. --Z

Enter Emma:

I WONNED!!! Thank YOU for picking me as the 2011 winner of the First Annual ZWR Costume Contest! This is the most special thing that ever happened to me in my WHOLE entire life. ZWR has inspired me to write about things that I’ve always wanted to do and now I can inspire others to do the same. I am the BIGGEST fan of the movie Elf. Ever since I saw the movie for the very first time I wanted to do THIS and ZWR gave me the inspiration. NOTE: Don’t try this at home kids.

Editor's note: O.M.G. Yes Please
After my super fun ride up the escalator, I wanted to go to the bookstore because I LOVE books and they are really GOOD for your brain. Once I got inside, I thought THIS would be fun.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“I’m in a stooore and I’m siiinging.” NOTE: People look at you kinda funny but I think you should give it a try. The last thing on my list of things that I have been wanting to do is THIS:

Emma hereby officially awarded Coolest Kid Ever award in perpetuity.
THE DOUGIE!!! Teach me how to Dougie, (teach me), teach me how to Dougie. Note: It’s A LOT easier than I thought. You should try it too!

I’d also really like talk about my FAVORITE TEAM in the whole wide WORLD, the PHILLIES. My mom has been taking me to games since I was only a little kid. My favorite player is Chase Utley. He makes me warm inside and my tongue starts to swell. Oh yeah, don’t forget about Ben Francisco. That’s fun to say, Francisco, Francisco. Most importantly, we MUST not forget the BEST pitcher in all of baseball, including this side of the Wild West AND the other side too, the one who inspired this bolg, ROY HALLADAY! My mom took THIS photo of him at a game we went to:

Emma knows her audience
Taa-Daaa!! I think he is the BOMB. He pitches like a SUPERSTAR and it takes a lot of COURAGE to do that while everyone is watching. When he pitched his perfect game, I think it brought THOUGHTS to the other player’s BRAINS that you should NEVER MESS WITH ROY HALLADAY.

Buddy had a Code of the Elves so I’d like to start a Code of the Phillies:

1.) Treat EVERY game like the World Series.
2.) There is room for everyone on the NICE LIST, except the M_ts fans.
3.) The BEST way to spread Phillies cheer is by singing High Hopes for all to hear.

Thanks again to the really fabulous panel of judges who picked me as the winner, ZWR, Craney, Danger Guerrero, Vince the Brewer and the supermodel guy, Alex Reardon. You have the best bolg ever in the history of bolgs. I hope I inspired someone else to try the things you’ve always wanted to do, like ZWR inspired me (Ed. note: *breaths on finger nails, rubs them on shoulder*). I ‘m so appreciative of this prestigious award and I hope I made you proud.

I’d like to tell the other contestants: you really did a good job. Please don’t be sad. Your costumes were lovely.

P.S. JAYSON WERTZ IS A COTTON-BEARDED-NINNY-MUGGINS

P.S.S. I never won anything in my entire life and have always wanted a trophy. Is there any way you can give me a trophy, please? (Emma, we'll see what we can do. --Z)

Sincerely,
Awesome Emma

Frankly, this made me happier than anything ever. Emma (and her Mom, Bridget) totally rule. I don't really know what else to say. My work here is done.
