Here are the entries for The Roadlesstaken Contest (Updated)
UPDATED 02/13/09: Added five new entries at the bottom. Check them out when you got the time.
Below is a list of all the embarrassing love story posts I’ve received for the contest. They are all quite funny and I’m still very undecided on who should be the winners, so I’m going to need your help!
Please check out the entries below and leave some personal feedback on their posts. Afterwards, come back to my post and tell me which one you think deserves to win and why you think so. Again, I’m looking for the story that is a good mixture of being amusing, embarrassing, and well written.

WHOOO MINE ROCKS! lmao.
I’m writing like the wind!
@Pearls_of_Trust -
remember to make it public! Haha not sure if your site is still friends only or not
omgod, everyone elses story was soooo much better than mines xDD!
Okay, I’m all set to read. The tag lines are neat.
xxpoetry_in_motionx still has friends lock on.
@LadyAsianInvasion -
So self-centered. Just kidding
@xJanetirax -
Haha oh have confidence in yourself! Your story was pretty embarrassing I gotta say.
@ladyofthesilk -
Yea, I figured it would be a good teaser to make people click on links.
@ladyofthesilk -
Oh okay, I’ll let her know.
@Roadlesstaken - lol…so…=P I do what I want! *heh*
i really liked ladyofthesilk’s entry. she could make a movie out of her story, except a happier ending would be nicer for a movie. but yeah, awwww<3 such a cute story with the little grandpa and the typical egotistical guy who changes around after realizing you’re a gem. greak story!
to: drung888
this is one the cutest stories ive ever heard on the topic of first kiss. didnt know guys are as nervous as girls on kissing someone they like. Did you guys continue dating after that night? aw i hope she found your nervousness irresistably charming cus i did!
* your comment box doesnt seem to work on my comp!
Good luck to everybody! These were all pretty damn awesome stories (even if they weren’t awesome at the time)…
@RAWRz_ITS_JOYCE -
O lame comment box! Stupid technology…
But yeah, we did end up staying together for almost a year after that which I’m glad to say was a billion times better than the night of the first kiss. It might have been because I got better; practice makes perfect!
@LadyAsianInvasion -
I’m definitely not surprise you would say that
@RAWRz_ITS_JOYCE -
Of course guys get nervous for the first kiss! We are human after all haha.
@drung888 -
True, but hey as long as they’re awesome now that’s what really matters!
@Roadlesstaken - yah it would seem like something i’d say…
Okay, finished reading all the ones that did not have some kind of lock on them. Great stories you guys! Alex, I won’t vote until I’ve read all the entries.
LadyOfTheSilk FTW!
@ladyofthesilk -
besides the one you mentioned, who else had a lock?
@Roadlesstaken -
I think that was it.
I have to say reallifedemo. Just because she reminds me so much of me and how I just like to look at the pretty ones without really having any desire to complicate things. It was well written, and it was amusing
, oh and embarrassing.
@grinner08 -
Oh yea, her entry was really good. Love the pictures! So creative.
@MusingsOfAnAlmostSocio -
I agree, that story seems straight out of a movie!
besides my own entry… i liked the stories that ladyofthesilk and drung888 posted. =D
Here is my entry!!!
http://www.xanga.com/Pearls_of_Trust/692260692/the-roadlesstaken-contest-first-contact/
Ah!!!
haha, sorry for turning in the assignment late. My dog had devoured my homework.
Forgive me! =P
@fLiPgUy31O -
There’s a lot of tough competition!
@Pearls_of_Trust -
I suppose I can…but you better do the extra credit if you’re hoping for an A for the class! haha
@Roadlesstaken -
O, hehe, you know I’d do anything to please my teacher. *wink wink*
I want that A so bad.
hahahaha
@Pearls_of_Trust -
hahaha you’re horrible
ok i just posted my entry. sorry so late! I got stuck in xanga traffic. Your blog just gets too much visitors at one time, sheeesh!
hehe.
Loved loved loved loved numero tres. fantastic story.
and ladyofthesilk was right next to it!
but all of the stories were great!
i had a story but it doesn’t really fall into the embarassing/pathetic or creepy category. xp
These were super fun to read! My favorite has to be drung888′s entry. I thought it was really endearing how shy he was. And the “Fuck fear.” statement was pretty epic.
Ladyofthesilk’s entry was pretty awesome too!
@ChellyisEccentric -
Stuck in xanga traffic? Lame! Haha…I’m gonna check your entry soon.
@PiscesPhishie -
Oh right, you never did talk about them creepy old men! I’m sure there’s some humor with that.
@marianney -
Those two entries seem pretty popular so far. Very interesting…
I still cannot read xxpoetryinmotionx’s entry. Alex, should I just message you my vote, then?
I like all the stories. It’s hard to vote for a story since they were all good. However, I liked reallifedemo’s story with the pics and all. That’s my pick for first. My second pick would go to MochaSprinkle’s urination story. Honorable mention goes to Rob_of_the_Sky, whose blog is incredibly awesome and should be read by everyone.
@ladyofthesilk -
Sure, you can tell me your favorite either here or through message; w/e works best for you.
@Rob_of_the_Sky -
Shameless self-promotion eh? hahaha
Whew! I’m glad I didn’t enter the contest. Mine wasn’t as embarrassing as others..
@BomCamChuoi -
Aww… sometimes our own perception maybe different from others. I would have liked to have read your story.
@BomCamChuoi -
You can still write something like this later on! I am a little curious on what you finally thought of that you could write.
@ladyofthesilk -
@Roadlesstaken -
haha Nah My story is not nearly as interesting as the others…
@BomCamChuoi -
If you say so
.
SERIOUSLY! I VOTE #1 TO BE NUMBER 18- DARTH_COSMOS!!!!
#2- NUMBER 5- REALLIFEDEMO!!!
I’m glad you held this contest, I had a good time laughing and being embarrassed!
@hyunj09 -
I’m glad I did too! So many great stories and my Xanga buddies are discovering one another! Yay!
haha can’t believe I’m so late. sorry!
#3! That’s what I call seductive writing. =]
Btw, Happy Valentine’s Day? The question mark because I don’t really observe this day but also because it’s probably the first one in a while where you’re not giving flowers. xD
sorry about the friend lock.
probably too late to turn it off but oh well.
@darth_cosmos -
What a procrastinator
@xLove_Me_Alwaysx -
Yea, I don’t really observe this day either, at least not recently. Haha, what makes you say that? Flowers are overrated anyways; I like going for more personal things =)
@xxpoetry_in_motionx -
It’s fine, at least I was able to see it. There were just a few people that wanted to see it too before they made their favorite picks.
