Given that these were songs and there were 15 winners, there really isn't space to print them all. But here's a favorite entry or two:
Rosane Goerl:
For You
One day I saw you, standing all alone,
Thought I would be able to talk to you.
Once I got the courage, it was way too late, She came up and took your breathe away.
(Chorus)
One wish, one hope, one jealous sigh
One boy, two girls, one love
Too many times I saw you standing there, Never once did I live up to my dare.
To be alone is the worst thing in the world, When I saw you my toes would always curled, I had a chance, but never spoke a word, I wish my silent voice could have been heard!
(Chorus)
I hope that she is everything you want,
She's tall and slim, and has hair of blonde, I can't help realize That I might be the right--one For you....
(Chorus)
This is for you!
The only one my heart knew!
This one is for you,
For you...
Geena Chau:
Flaming Hot
It was burning, burning.
The fumes in the air and it was so
Hot,hot, hot.
There was nothing that mattered,
and I could not care!
Oh yeah, hate and love it.
Tears dripping down
My face with anger and grief.
I had to get over it.
Get over it,
I said.
The air started clearing,
Up, up, up.
I got over it.
The fire inside me went away and a
New sensation hit.
Chelsea:
You where my crush, my one and only.
Then you cut out my heart and...CRUSHED IT!
What was I suppose to do...say I'm sorry, when I'm really not.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry...but I'm really NOT!
All I know is that I loved you once, but never again, never again, never again...

The entrants to The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks giveaway had to answer the following:
What's the craziest prank you've ever pulled? (And if the answer is "none," what prank do you wish you had the guts to pull off?)
The winners, in no particular order, are:
Dana Kidle : Well, one day my older sister and her boyfriend were sunning themselves in our backyard. When they wern't looking I switched their bottle of suntan lotion with another one that had been used up. Only it wasn't empty. I half-filled it with mayonaise. It took them a little bit to figure out that what they were rubbing on their skin wasn't suntan lotion. I got in trouble, but it was worth it to make my sis smell like a sandwich! LOL
Alexis: I have never pulled any really big pranks but i like to scare my family members randomly. One time after we first moved in, my mom was standing looking into the refrigerator. i was standing behind the door and I was ready to scare her. She closed the door and I yelled boo and she was freaked out and screamed. To this day she always says she is going to get me back, but hasnt yet.
Abigail Caulder: I haven't really pulled off too many pranks in my life, mostly because I'm too chicken to really pull anything big off, but this recent April Fools Day I got a huge group of my friends by making a Myspace bulletin saying I was playing a scratch off and won $50,000. Everyone was like "OMG!!!1!!!!1111" and flipping out and then I was like "By the way Happy April Fools Day". I don't know I thought it was pretty funny.
Megan: Once I was pretending to trip while carrying a tray of food back to my table. Instead of fake tripping I actually tripped on a crack and spilled the food and drink on my friend sitting there. This was not a planned prank.
Joseph Halpern: I've never pulled off a prank although other people have pranked me but I've always wanted to put a bucket of water on top of a door and when someone opens the door it falls on them I figure that would be pretty funny and it's a classic
Liviania Smith: I, unfortunately, could never pull off a prank. I greatly admire the students at Rice University who successfully flipped a statue! I live in the "Honors Quad" of my University. There is a statue of Diana in the center that many people prank. I would like to tie balloons to her bow, but I am too bashful - I could never do it if someone saw me! Unfortunately, people are always in the Quad.
ELLSABETH POWELL: one time at this slumber party i was at me and my friends decided to break into our friends parents bank vault and steal all their money to see if they would notice. long story short i ended up with all the money at my house and the cops were like did you steal the money and i was like no and every one said it was me so we had another sleep over and i returned the money but when we went to return the money my friend screamed at the cop that was gaurding the vault and they chanced us down two flights of stairs in our night gowns all the way out side we had to run to my house and hide it was like two miles it was so much fun then we got to go back when the money was returned and no one knew it was us.
Alissa Neumayer: Honestly, if I could pull off any prank in the world, I would (somehow)convince my ex-husband that I won or inherited millions of dollars. The thought of not being entitled to the money, but the fact that he could have been, would kill him! It would take some real work, though. It wouldn't be easy to look like a millionare on a librarian's salary!
Gretsher Risatti: I never used to be a prankster but when I got married I totally changed. I love seeing my husband smile or get mad and then smile. Ha, ha. The first prank I pulled after we got married is probably really well known but it was hilarious
Every morning before my husband leaves for work he takes a shower and if I'm awake enough, i'll go into the bathroom and talk to him as he takes his shower. So one morning I brought a bucket with me into the bathroom filled with cold water. He's a video game nerd, so in the middle of his shower while telling an "exciting" story of how he got his latest achievement, I poured the cold water on top of him. So into his own story he didn't move for a second just kept talking. All of sudden he threw himself against the wall of the shower thinking the coldness was coming from the shower head. My laughing gave me away though. He doesn't turn his back towards me in the shower any more, since I pulled this a couple of times.
A recent prank I pulled, I usually stay up longer than my husband so I wrote Loser across his forehead and made little girly symbols on his cheeks (hearts, flowers, bows, etc.)....with permanent marker. The next morning he only got to lighten them a little, so he had to go like work like that. He's a laborer and there's no dress code so he was fine but since he works with really beefy, manly guys he was made fun of all day. When he came home he was pretty mad, he had a bad day....hee hee. I personally think he liked the attention. ;)
Holly: Wow, the craziest? Probably the senior prank. We went throughout the school and TPed everything and painted on the walls. It was at night and no one knew we did it until the next morning. It was great!
If you're one of the winners, email me at kim@yabookscentral.com with your full name and address. If you are under 13, I'll also need an email from your parent or guardian stating it is okay for you to accept the prize. Thanks!
