Now imagine me exclaiming that in a girlie squeal-like fashion, with a toothbrush and toothpaste foam in my mouth.
I entered a Garth Nix competition through his Australian publishers, Allen and Unwin, about a month ago. It was one of those 'in twenty five words or less' dealies, and the two most creative would win xD Well, apparently mine was one of those two.
I won a signed copy of Lord Sunday and a special stainless steel edition iPod Shuffle xDD I've been stoked all day. Now I have to decide if I want it engraved, which I do, and what to have engraved on it.
'Woo!' Was the first thing that came to mind, then 'Don't do it Arthur!' but I'm not sure about either. Ideas?

It was a little poem of sorts. I have it on the other computer so when I turn that on next I'll be sure to let you know xDD
"Dear Jessica, Thank you for entering the Exclusive Keys to the Kingdom subscribers comp. I'm thrilled to be able to congratulate you on being selected as one of our winners! Your little poem was so creative, and it made me remember the first time I picked up and read the first books of the series. You've won a signed copy of Lord Sunday and iPod shuffle pre-loaded with a special podcast of Garth Nix reading the first two chapters."

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
That's awesome. <3
I have no ideas for engraving because I've never seen a Garth Nix book, let alone read one, so if you were hoping for a reference to that, I'm not the one to ask.
