May 1st is voting day for Google for Doodle!

I did enter, yet I have no idea how the hell the system works!

Do they warn you beforehand? Are ALL of the thousand + votes up for the public to vote upon? I don't know. I really don't.

But in the end, I really don't CARE.
I just want people to vote.

I want to hold the hands of every person who submitted and tense up excitedly at the desperation to see who is on top! I want to clap for the winners and drool over all the amazing artwork.

I want to laugh like an idiot for ever believing I could win.

But mostly, I want to win.

I want that miracle at the end of the movies where the underdog wins, and we're always our own tragic underdog because we have no one else to really cheer on. Not in all cases.


I don't have a picture of mine, because I was finished and didn't think twice about it, so I have no example.

• Essentially, it's a little Mexican kid with short hair--I don't blame you if you confuse her for a boy. It happened by my own mother--smiling up at the skies as the two "OO"s.
• The first G is the earth, the second a little white dashed line.
• The L is NASA'S new Rocket
• and the E. ..  . .is Mars.

This year's theme was "the best day ever" and I chose the day we land on Mars!

Thank you, Hank Green, for convincing me it was a damn awesome idea! Also, for making great music. You need a song about the curiosity rover--look at me, addressing Hank Green, as though he's ever going to read this! Aren't I cute?

When all is said and done, I just want you all to vote, whether it be for me or someone else.

All the entries need the support of the world to feel special, and I'll live vicariously through the best entrees.

Best wishes (and with all the love I can muster)
