Accolades to the Winner!

Tonight I held a competition amongst my friends. I texted 10 of them and told them to come up with a good title for this blog, and the winner would receive accolades to be texted to everyone else who had received the text. The following were some of the responses I received, from those who responded:

• "There and Back Again," by Emily Rose Mensing.
• "White Boy in the Middle East," by Emily Rose Mensing.
• "Jeffer's Jerusalem," by Kayleedel.
• "Pearls of My Life; No Looking, Swine!" by Melissa Brown.
• "I'm Doing Fun Stuff and Stuff Like That," by Melissa Brown.
• "Jefferpoints for Jefferfollowers," by Melissa Brown.
• Chris Lee refused to participate because of my recent dislike of a Lady Gaga music video.
• "I Was Going to Egypt but Now I'm Not," by RachelBrown. (even though I might be.)
• "Open Mind in a Closed World," by Emily Rose Mensing.
• "I Get to Go Cool Places This Summer and You Don't, Sucka," by Emily Rose Mensing.
• "It's Not Hogwarts, But It's Still Good," by Emily Rose Mensing.
• "Accio Jerusalem!" by Emily Rose Mensing.
• "I Don't Know the Hebrew Word for Blog," by RachelBrown.
• "Mr. Jefferson Goes to Jerusalem," by Rachel Adams.
• "Life Pulls in All Directions," by Lindsey Goodwin.
• "Free Libya!" by Josh Crookston.

Some of my own ideas had been:

• "Me, I'm Gonna Live Forever."
• "Take My Time Coming Home."

 My own ideas had been horribly inferior to those I texted. Good thing I texted them.

Post Script. Italicized suggestions were my favorites. I originally chose "I Don't Know the Hebrew Word for Blog" but didn't like the way the apostrophe looked with the font choice. Also I liked the use of the semicolon in the "Pearls Before Swine" option, so I changed my mind to that one. But good job to all those who participated!
