So, here we go. 247 posts, 36 weeks and nearly 9 months later, and this is the lot. Post 248. The last post of DAY DEDICATION Mk I.
So it's a fitting way to finish by putting this one up. Today does go to DD, for the main fact that actually, it's depicted my life over the last 9 months. You know what's gone on, whose said what, and who has made my day. Yes, we died towards Christmas time, but I feel we've picked up since the announcememnt of it finishing, and for that reason, and probably that reason alone, is why this post has come about.
So, what have we actually done? Well, readership has spread across the globe. DD now has friends as far away as America, Japan and even Australia. We've had comments, emails and Tweets; some of which were negative, yes, but they were 'dealt with', let's say.
We've had lots of personal blogs, some of which have made people cry, laugh and get amazingly annoyed, but hey, that's what opinions are for.
We've gone from Christmas in New York, to Hashtagging, to Nana, to the X Factor final, to Michael Jackson, to my friends, to nerves, to Isobel. It's been a whirlwind adventure, and I think it's the right time to be packing the first part of this up now.
But hang on, first part?
Yep. Team DD will be back come the 12th July, bigger and better than ever. We'll have contributors for the first time, and some big visual changes that will lead to videos and things being posted across blogs.
There's also gonna be a big rule change - Day Dedication Mk II can only be Dedicated to people. No more emotions, no more feelings. The Dedicatee must have done something during the day to affect either me, someone from Team DD, or the world as a whole. The no-repeat rule stands, but we're actually very excited to how everything is going to go, and we're gonna try and make it a little bit more interactive and get others involved. Tweets, emails, comments on posts - whatever you guys feel is necessary.
So thankyou for sticking around over the last few months, thankyou for all your comments, and I'll be back on 1st June with World Cup Wonder. I'll post the links on here each day, so you're only a click away. And yes ladies, there are topless men.
See you in 6 weeks everyone!
DAY DEDICATION, you are the Day Dedicatee for Friday 28th May 2010.
(P.S. World Cup Wonder is at http://worldcupwonder.blogspot.com/ - enjoy!)

Thursday 27th May 2010 - Crystal Bowersox
Today is the penultimate post, and also the last post directed towards a person.
But screw all that. Screw the fact that this should be quite a sentimental post. The American Idol Season 9 finale broadcast over here in the UK tonight, and just over half an hour before the result was announced, Google destroyed the whole day by finding it funny to leave Lee Dewyze, the 'American Idol Champion', as a sponsored ad on the right hand side of the page. Grrrrrr.
But today doesn't go to Lee. Or American Idol. Or Simon Cowell, my idol, who leaves the show tonight. Today goes to CRYSTAL BOWERSOX.
I've backed Crystal since the start, and think she will truly be someone who will take over the world. She will become someone who has already made her mark on a nation, and can now make ehr mark on the world.
Pre-order is done, and everything is set for her to change the country world. Happy days.
Enjoy the evening, and enjoy tomorrow. Have fun!

Wednesday 26th May 2010 - Evolution
So, the last stretch is in sight. We've got three posts to go, then this place will undergo a miraculous change and some rule changes too, and we'll be on our way come July!
It's for this reason today goes to EVOLUTION.
If you were a lucky sod, you'll have seen earlier on that for about half an hour, here at Day Dedication HQ, we issued a design update, which will be put into place for Friday, so that everything is looking prim and proper for when we come back.
But this all has to come from somewhere. I'm a bit bored of the current format, so now, with a bit of magic, we'll rejuvinate it all, and bring some life back to the old dog.

Tuesday 25th May 2010 - Preparation
BUSS2 today. What an absolute stinker of a paper. 3 down, 4 to go.
Anyway, today goes to PREPARATION. Double-meaned post! We haven't had that in a while!
First meaning is obviously, revision. Without the right amount of preparation, we're all screwed, so that one always helps. And seeing as today went so poorly, I may invest in a couple more coloured pens....
The second is that of the Day Dedication/World Cup Wonder cross-over period. With Day Dedication being put on hold for part of the summer as of Friday, and World Cup Wonder not officially starting till June 1st (yep, I've brought it forward a little bit!), I have a very short window in which to write what is necessary.
I also have to prepare everything so that you will all be willing to click on a different link next time, and check out the World Cup with me. I have a couple of ideas up my sleeve!
But yeah, it's exciting, a bit daunting, worrying and nerve-wracking - all at the same time! Gonna be a good laugh mind you!

Monday 24th May 2010 - Nerves
I can't remember if I've done this one before, or whether its a variation, but gonna bit the bullet and hope not!
Tomorrow morning is BUSS2, or Exam #3 as it has become known. It's the second Business Studies exam, and seeing as its 60% of the course, it's a biggie. And I'll be honest, it's the one exam I'm absolutely dreading, hence the reason today goes to NERVES.
I'm bricking it. Proper bricking it. I feel like I've done enough work towards it, but nothing has sunk in. I can't remember a single formula, can't work out which is what and what is which, so tomorrow morning I'll be waking up to learn some more - and hope this lot goes in.
Wish me luck. Cos I'm gonna need a miracle to pass this one.

Sunday 23rd May 2010 - Radio 1
Happy Birthday Daisy!
Today goes to RADIO 1 - specifically the Big Weekend that's keeping me entertained this weekend! It makes revision a lot easier - other than the fact Jo Whiley is still on, but hey, thats what the volume control is for.
Plus, Paolo Nutini is on right now - and seeing as we've been to see him twice and may be going back for a third, I'd say thats a good deal!
And the sun is out and the cider is flowing, so the day really couldn't be much better!

(P.S. 5 days to go - excited now!)

Saturday 22nd May 2010 - Jose Mourinho
6 domestic league titles. 8 domestic cup wins. A UEFA Cup, and 2 Champions League wins. In 8 years. This man is a legend. Today goes to JOSE MOURINHO.
So having won his SECOND Treble this evening - the only man to have ever done that - he became only the third man to win the Champions League with two different clubs. He's turned three clubs around and made them world beaters, and after winning one big trophy with each club, he's left. Talk about going at the top.
So it's likely he'll be at Madrid next season, but God I can't wait till United get rid of Fergie, and we start hunting. Cos this bloke could become the world's greatest should he do what he's done at Inter with both Madrid and United.
JOSE MOURINGHO, you are the Special One. And you are the Day Dedicatee for Saturday 22nd May 2010.
(P.S. 6 days to go)
