... And totally mystified as to how it could have happened to ME, of all people. But very, very grateful that it did.

I honestly can't believe this!!!!!

Thank you to everyone who voted for me. Where'd you all COME from?!? (And no, I don't mean those of you who voted under duress. Oh, right. That means everyone who voted for me, then.)

Seriously though, I've read all the other entries, therefore I know for a fact that this was DEFINITELY not a case of the best writer winning. You guys all wrote rings around me. I want to live in all your versions of Utopia too!

Congratulations to all of them - and especially Yebo and iMod, the runners-up.

And of course, a big thanks to Accelerate Cape Town and the great Web AddiCT(s) who allowed me to join the party (even though I was way more than fashionably late), without even deducting points for my procrastination! You guys have seriously made my year! Congrats on pulling off a successful contest and on your site's stylin' new design!

I know there are other people to thank (I believe that I've actually WON AWESOME STUFF!), but I'm so dizzy with delight that I'd better lie down right now before I faint on the spot!
