[quote name='Roxie Faye'][color=#9933cc]Anomaly: Off-topic, but what city do you live in? I only know that Bangkok has a sky train, and I'd be interested to hear of more cities with one. [/color][/QUOTE] [FONT="Garamond"]I live in Vancouver =) HAVE SOME MORE CHARACTERS TO REACH 25![/FONT]

[quote name='Allamorph'][FONT=Arial]Afterthought to you people who seem to feel like people are parading their partners around in front of you.... ...have you ever considered it might be your jealousy souring your attitude, and not their ostentation?[/FONT][/QUOTE] [FONT="Garamond"]Well of course, but they sure aren't helping! :3 I jest. Maybe. =P I share the same sentiment as most, it really doesn't matter unless it's brutally excessive and inappropriate for the time and place. For example, it became very annoying with the couple directly next to me on the Skytrain were pretty hardcore making out for a really long time... from the time (probably before, really) I got on til the time they got off. It made me really uncomfortable, and made a few other people noticeably uncomfortable as well.[/FONT]

[FONT="Garamond"][quote name='Lrb'][FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"]She pushed his hand away again.[/COLOR][/FONT][/QUOTE] Loved it. My vote goes to Lrb. [/FONT]

[FONT="Garamond"]Holy. Shit. Everything about that. Yes. Yes is the only descriptive word I have. I demand [I]moar[/I]! Please? D:[/FONT]

[FONT="Garamond"]Very cute, I'm definitely looking forward to more of this.[/FONT]

[FONT="Garamond"]Here's a second for Radiohead. Fantastic show, came out to Vancouver, it was at an outdoor venue. The music was absolutely top notch, there is nothing bad I could say about them. Sounded just like their albums, but even cooler, when they did some improvising. It started absolutely pouring and myself, my friends, and all the hippies just swayed and hopped around a lot, totally ignoring how cold it was and just enjoying the music. And to throw a little something different into the musical mix in here, Kanye West was another of my favourite shows. The Glow in the Dark Tour featuring N.E.R.D., Lupe Fiasco, and Rhianna, it was just one energetic performance after another. N.E.R.D were super charismatic, Rihanna did some cool cover songs, Lupe did all the songs I love and Kanye was... well, he was Kanye! He was full of himself, full of ****, and full of dramatic statements. It was great and he didn't stiff us, either. He performed for a really long time. It was nice when he did the song for his Mom and when he would do a chorus for a long time so that the whole audience would join in. A lot of people hate him, but like he said at his concert "if I didn't love me so much, who the **** else would?" Props, KWest, props. On the non music related side, there were some super drunk asian guys behind us who were very fun and we rapped back and forth to each other and of course, there were some ugly photos. And coming in at third, Billy Talent. Just a very very badass show.[/FONT]

[FONT="Garamond"]Do you know what my favourite memory of you is? Probably not. We never talk about shit like that. It might seem silly, but my favourite memory happens to be of a night similar to many others. The equation starts off the same; me, my favourite liquor and the usual binge drinking I was accustomed to when you weren’t at home to monitor my “progress”. But then we factor in you coming home early. I remember you quietly opening the bathroom door and just standing there in the doorway as I stayed knelt down in front of the toilet, emptying out the contents of my stomach. The bathroom smelled so strongly of alcohol and bile, which only made me vomit more. You took off your jacket and tossed it onto the table in the hall and, rolling up your sleeves, shuffled over to me. You sat diagonally from me, perched on the edge of the bathtub. “Hey…” I started off. No answer, but I could feel the disappointment in your eyes drilling into me. “You’re home earlier than I was expecting…” I half slurred, half mumbled. “Obviously.” Was all you offered in return. We sat in silence for what seemed like hours. “My client cancelled. Something came up… I thought we could spend the evening together…” You finally added. It was all you needed to say. I started to cry. I was so ashamed; so embarrassed. It only took a moment before you were kneeling down next to me. I felt you gently pull my hair back, out of my face. Simultaneously I tried to swallow the lump in my throat and stop myself from puking again. You rubbed my back as I continued to struggle against the sobs and the waves of nausea gripping me. “I’m so sorry… I’m so sorry…” I remember repeating that, over and over. You kept telling me that it was alright. It was all going to be okay. I knew better, but it was nice to hear you say it anyway. When my stomach finally felt calm again, you helped me up and let me lean on you as you cleaned my face with a warm cloth. You carried me into the living room and sat me on the couch. You eased yourself down next to me. I drifted in and out of consciousness and you simply stared at me with that far off look you sometimes get. “You know I love you.” I managed groggily, eyes not even half open. “That’s just the liquor talking.” You replied softly, as you smoothed my hair again. “Maybe. But I doubt it. I think I just puked all of it up. I don’t think there’s a drop left.” You continued to absentmindedly smooth my hair, and you smiled that sad smile that breaks my heart so much. But it was the first smile I'd seen in such a very long time. And that is my favourite memory of you. [/FONT]

[FONT="Garamond"]I support this =) It'd be nice to have more matches played out the way they're supposed to be, instead of this default business xD The more participation, the better.[/FONT]

[FONT="Garamond"]well... that sucked =([/FONT]

[FONT="Garamond"]Thanks, Allamorph. I really appreciate that you took the time to crit =) I don't want to try and defend myself, but since I suppose that's exactly what I'm doing, nevermind =P I introduced Tyler's nails as "startlingly" clean because, if you have seen or read Fight Club then you know Tyler is everything that 'Jack' wants to be. It seemed like a logical conclusion, especially considering the dirty job Tyler has. A bit of a juxtaposition. Tyler might make soap, but the guy deals with Liposuction-ed human fat xD Also, where I would put this, at this point in the story they are well into weekly Fight Club sessions. Perhaps next time some background would be due? If that makes any difference. I didn't really chronologically set it as well as I could've and I definitely admit I am assuming a lot of any readers. That is my bad, I'll work on that with any future pieces requiring a backstory.[/FONT]

[FONT="Garamond"]I have two worlds. I have my blog world and I have my writing world. My blog world is full of really mundane and boring things in my life as well as things I fangirl over and the odd drunken escapade thrown in for good measure. My writing world is full of stuff I opt for publishing as well as a few ongoing writing projects I have. I really like Worlds because I suck at coding and design type stuff and I find that no matter what you do to your world it always looks nice and tidy =) And I love that there is the publication feature in lieu of the Articles back on myO. The guest poster feature is also really neat and has been fun with some of Sangome's world's related to the insanity of the chat.[/FONT]

[FONT="Garamond"]It took me a long time to decide, but I think I will have to go with Vicky. I enjoyed each piece a lot but there was a lot more feeling expressed in Vicky's writing while Mr. Blonde's piece was almost anticlimactic because all feeling was gone from the individual in question who was writing the letter. There was no loss in the letter, there was more a feeling of resign. In Vicky's you got to see snapshots of many different feelings.[/FONT]

[quote name='chibi-master']Aaanyway, PARIS HILTON! No talent, but is still rich as it gets, thanks to her parents and the hotel business. WHY is this airhead plastered to my rarely used T.V?! Why is she famous?! WHY?! Have I mentioned that I detest this bubble brained idiot? Truly a douche. Heck, she once dragged a Longhorn onto a red carpet and made it wear a bubblegum pink shawl. Yeah, way to wreck a bull's pride, dips***.:animesigh[/QUOTE] [FONT="Garamond"]I've never done this before, but I'll actually step in on behalf of Ms. Hilton (I wouldn't have about 2 weeks ago.) She was in Repo! The Genetic Opera. That was a really wicked movie. And she can kind of sing (not that computer enhancement has ever hurt anybody =P) I'm shocked she was in something that cool. Effin' Giles was starring in that, man! What a voice! And, if you still hate her, consider it a bonus that you [spoiler]get to see her face fall off =)[/spoiler] Anyways, someone who I think is very douchey... hmm... Well, because I was reminded of him by the Flavor Flav pics, I'd have to put Lil Wayne close to the top of my list. For God's sakes he is a blatant rip off of the already lame Flav' and is super famous for a song entitled "Lollipop" which not only unsubtly uses the word hump (seriously, is he even trying?) but also utilizes the ever eloquent "lovely lady lumps." This is all ignoring the fact that the song is another not so subtle reference to.. well. Come on. [I]Lollipop[/I]. The opening line is something like "He's so sweet, I want to lick the rapper." Wow. WOW. I'm sure you all get it. And if you don't... well, I'll tell you when you're older. Or maybe never.[/FONT] [IMG]http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b44/StaticAnonymity/med_lil_wayne_artist_image3.jpg[/IMG] [I]This is my "watching any of Lil Wayne's music videos or listening to any of his music" face.[/I]

[quote name='Darren']"Love Shack! Baby, Love Shack!" That song always makes me happy when it comes on my iPod. *shot* Now for the topic at hand: I hate Valentine's Day. It's a ridiculous holiday. Maybe I'm biased because I've never had a serious relationship and someone to share the holiday with... Or the fact that since elementary, the only Valentine's Day gift I've received was from my mom. :animedepr[/QUOTE] [FONT="Garamond"]Whatever, man, my Mom gave awesome Valentine's Day gifts! Haha, but yeah I'll second all that. Never been in a relationship on Valentine's Day, so to me it's just another day of the month. In years past, I'd just hang out with my fellow singles and do something fun and unrelated to the "holiday".[/FONT]

[FONT="Garamond"]I'm a sucker for descriptive words. Both are well written, but it looks like I'm with the majority here as I'm putting my vote towards DeLarge's piece.[/FONT]

[FONT="Garamond"]I'm going with Shy, and here's why (oh look, a rhyme!): There was so much going on in his piece and you didn't even realize it until the end. It was engaging, relatable and surprising. It was believable, even though it wasn't. If that makes sense. pfisland, while yours maybe took a more "realistic" story approach, it ended up falling further from that mark for me than Shy's did. I don't know what kind of teachers you've had, but I've never heard of a teacher so mean that they told a kid that nobody would ever like them. Completely unreal and thus unrelatable. I think it also felt a little bit forced. So yes, my vote is with Shy =)[/FONT]

[FONT="Garamond"]Haha, beauty! I guess the less attractive way of putting it is fanfiction. At least a little bit =P Anyways, this is my piece, it's based on Fight Club. Enjoy! [B]LANGUAGE WARNING![/B] ------ Tyler taps his startlingly clean nails on the table. [I]Tap. Tap. Tap.[/I] I examine my own, nicotine stained and scratched. The noise is hypnotic, and I concentrate on it. I match my breathing. I am Jack’s loss of control. I stare down at my hand; the chemical burn still throbs dully, sometimes. “Stop that.” Tyler narrows his eyes at me. “Stop what?” “Thinking. Wondering. What if-ing. Stop all of it. To explore the alternatives is to admit there is fear in your choice. It is weakness and it is exploitable.” “Tyler, you mean to tell me that you’ve never wanted to take one step back? Never wished you’d done something else?” I shake my head. “You’re a fucking liar.” “No. I’m a fucking dumbass. I’m a fucking screw up. But I am not a fucking liar.” We stand in silence. Tyler is right. He probably isn’t a fucking liar. He’s a concealer in order to reveal, but he is not a liar. I pour glycerin into another container. “You, however, are.” He adds. The silence continues. “So?” “So? So confront me on that. Don’t shy away from the truth.” Eyes narrow further. Tyler stops what he is doing. I don’t know if I should tread more carefully but I do know I don’t want to add another chemical burn to make myself more symmetrical. I read somewhere once that the most attractive feature of a person is their symmetry. At work for awhile I took to cropping photos in half and then copying the half left over to make a full face so I could decide whether or not it made them more attractive. I started doing it to colleagues and finally to myself. According to Science, I was [I]this[/I] close to being attractive. I stare down into the container. “Okay, Tyler, how am I a fucking liar?” another unknown substance added. I am afraid. I have been through hell and back and I am still afraid of this one man and his opinion. Tyler smirks and doesn’t look up from what he is doing. “Because you won’t admit it.” Tyler Durden has the most roundabout way of getting to a point. “Admit what?” “Exactly! Anything! Goddamnit, you won’t admit anything. You don’t know and if you did, you [I]still[/I] wouldn’t admit anything. You’re scared of humanity and you’re scared to be human. You’re scared of your broken routine and you wonder if you missed out on normalcy. It’s so backwards, so… broken. All this, is to fear your mistakes when they are what make us great. You’re a liar. I told you to wake up. What are you waiting for?” Silence. More silence. I wonder if I’m concentrating symmetrically. “So…” “So fuck what if! ‘What if’ is to look for order where there should be none. And in the end it doesn’t make a difference. Not one. Because we have the capacity to make mistakes and we always will. That is fact, inevitable. To believe otherwise is to believe in orderliness. To give random events order is to forget what makes them great. It is letting God win.” Tyler is right, like he usually is. I took all that I’d learned from that night – the realization – and filed it away, wanting it to come back in due time. I am adjusting. I am not ready. I don’t know anything – but I know I shouldn’t be afraid.[/FONT] wc: 561. cutting it close xD

[FONT="Garamond"]This might be too specific but I'm a freak for specifics - do you mean rewrite as in what we would have done with the scene instead, or a rewrite as in leaving the events the same but putting our own style into it?[/FONT]

[FONT="Garamond"]ME! /dibs haha I need to be more active & I need to focus on some other writing projects for awhile[/FONT]

[FONT="Garamond"]YOU ARE WRONG. WE MUST BE THE SAME PERSON. (ahahaha oh no, I don't ever really see the resemblances in me and other girls with brown hair/glasses but so many other people do!)[/FONT]

[quote name='Darren']Nope. Nope. I don't think that's it... (Although I do see the similarity to Tina Fey) That's why it's so confusing because I have no idea where I've seen someone that looks like you. Maybe it was a dream... Oh jeez, now it sounds like I'm dreaming about you... [/stalker] :animedepr[/QUOTE] [FONT="Garamond"]I am pretty awesome, so it wouldn't shock me. aaahahaha no. BUT I lold. I love Tina Fey AND the chick who was Velma in the movies so I guess I'm okay with it, if it's the case. But I still think we must all just be very generic.[/FONT]

[quote name='Darren'] Anomaly: You look very very familiar in that picture, but I can't figure out why. (And yes, I know you're from Canada) [/QUOTE] [FONT="Garamond"]Honestly, after being told I look like "so&so" several times (insert Tina Fey, Velma from Scooby Doo, a friend of a friend, etcetcetc)" I think I've figured out something... all white girls with dark brown hair and glasses and medium cut hair look exactly the same. It's the only solution.[/FONT]

[FONT="Garamond"]I've decided life need more disco, already adding to my lengthy list of music I like to push on people. So we'll go with a few new favourites and maybe some old ones, too. Sneaky Sound System - Great Aussie band, mix catchy dance with some 80s sounding beats, and the vocalist has a great set of pipes on her. Must listens are UFO, Pictures, Kansas City. Passion Pit - new band I found via a delightful Canadian PSP commercial. Electro-ish dancey kind of things. Good songs are Sleepyhead and better things. MIA - catchy dance/rap. Hombre, Paper Planes. (not new to me but I just heard a great remix of Paper Planes in Slumdog Millionaire and I listen to her again) and now some old stuff Nujabes - amazing instrumentals and collaborations with underground rap artists in Japan, the UK and North America. Winter Lane, Feather, Luv Sic pt.3, Kumomi and Day by Atmosphere Supreme and F.I.L.O are my favourites. Bran Van 300 is some mad 90's disco dance stuff. Drinking in LA and Astounded are great. Call me Medley is also really great. Hawksley Workman is very relaxing and generally acoustic. Boards of Canada is a fantastic ambience group. Very chill.[/FONT]

[FONT="garamond"]c-c-c-combo breaker! Cute cosplay! I've wanted to do a Sailor Scout for sooo long! I made this for my world. I'm pritty. LOL.
