A while back, I had entered in a video contest to podcast for H&M in Tokyo. I did not win the competition. The winner, from the UK, looked very happy to be in Japan, and by the end of the video, she announced how Japan showed her how to keep her socks up, a question she asked in her submission. I'm glad.

The exact closing time was not stated on H&M's website, so I do not know exactly when the competition had ended. I had taken a break from the computer a bit before they had taken off the actual voting page. By then the winner wasn't up on the top ten. It seems like her win may have been predetermined.

Anyway, I made it to (and stayed at) the top ten with all of your help. A big thanks goes out to all of you. Even though I did not win the contest, I won inspiration and support from the deviantart community. Thank you all for doing a kind deed for a stranger, thanks for the chance. Through this I have met so many incredible and talented people from all of the world. For that I'm grateful.
