Where's the "All but one" button?

Edit: I said all, because though I didn't submit the first one (and maybe the last one) in time, I did do all of the events.

I didn't have time to do them this year (*sniff, sniff*) :,( Oh well, I'll do them in two years at the Summer Olympics.

Millions of miles from home
In the darkness before the dawn
In the swirling of this storm
When I'm rolling with the thunder
But bleed from thorns
Leave a light, a light on.

My story is rather woeful, like ladcat13's! LIFE IS HECTIC. Though, I did procrastinate on cleaning and making dinner and I managed to squeak out two events.... >.>

Don't worry, @ladcat13... next time! :D

When I first saw the mass PM about it, I said 'Bah humbug' and forgot about it.

But some of the events looked SO fuuun,I just had to participate.

I participated in a few (I even had the bronze medal for the first event O.o), cause most of them looks extremely fun. And I wanted to experiment anyway, this was the perfect occasion.

Didn't participate for 3 reasons:

1. I'm actually not a really big fan of the olympics... not sure why. (Actually, I do know why, but those reasons are usually considered so controversal that I will keep them to myself.) I couldn't force myself to rally for the theme.

2. I'm bad at continual, staged writing contests like these. Give me some time, sure I could do something. Expect me to be there for every contest with my best work? Heh. (I'm an all or nothing sort of guy, so I'm either all-in 100% or I don't participate.)

3. Well, my life dissolved rapidly into a prime example of the law of entropy during the past couple of weeks... *aHEM

In my honest opinion. It's a waste of time.

I was in the real Olympics in Sochi, Russia.

I was on the US step ups team. Imagine doing this killer workout for ten minutes a day. That was my training. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQqApCGd5Ss

I didn't realise just how many people didn't join. I thought the numbers would be smaller.
