I...That sucks :( I get bummed about that stuff too. I felt so immature on Monday when I saw the hoop idol post and the entries that were late due to audio problems were still up for voting. I was like, "are you kidding me? I worked my ass off to get my video in on time, and someone posted the day AFTER and it's okay? Especially after you specifically warned to be proactive and post early to avoid technical issues?" It was so petty of me to feel upset, because it's just a contest, and if any of us go through to the next round, it's because of our hooping, and I'm sure they worked super hard on their entries as well. I was just feeling insecure with my own video after seeing all the awesome ones. <br /><br />I got over it soon enough, because I started to look at it as though none of us deserve to be in the contest anyway. It is very gracious of hooping.org to hold contests with prizes such as these, and just being able to participate is a privilege in itself to learn from and grow. It still has that initial "sting" though. We are our own #1 defenders, and will probably happen every time, haha :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
