Voting Challenge 16

Wed, 18 Jul 2007 18:02:37 GMT

OK, I suck for not getting this posted sooner. After voting is over for this challenge we are going to take a break. I think I need one. Let's say we go on hiatus for about a month and I'll start challenges up again in August. This of course depends on whether or not they renew the series. If they don't I might be too pissed off and bitter to start challenges again right away. *sigh* We'll see.

Alright, let's vote.

Don't forget.....Please do not vote for yourself. If you entered an icon in the challenge you must vote. Please review the user info or just ask me if you have any questions.
