Right now, probably one of the most epic songs ever: Letters From the Sky by Civil Twilight...
Thinking about it, I'm rather taken aback that there is only one Roald Dahl book on that list, and it wasn't even his best.
Blangtastic- /Blang- tass- TICK/
1) Adj. The description given to one who is "gangsta" and is decked out in "bling" from head to toe.
2) N. Collective noun referring to a unit of seven or more gangster "wannabes" of indeterminate intelligence and adolescent age.

Quote:
1)"Damn straight ma nizzle, fo' shizzle dat bro is BLANGTASTIC!"
2) "The police are investigating a gruesome multiple homicide after two blangtastic of youngsters has been murdered in a fortnight."

Hey, this will be like a shopping list...and also something that shows me how little I've read... had to Google half the list...

Oh no, you misunderstand me, there is no absolute equality.
"...But some are more equal than others..."

Quote by DirtyMartini

I am convinced that there is such a thing as true nothingness every time I look at my bank statement...




So in other words nothingness is highly relative...
I used to think there was no such thing as evil, only an absence of good...now that I am older, I'm not so sure...


I am convinced that evil is not only the absence of good but also an entity in and of itself. Is there such a thing as true nothingness? That would apply something amoral (a-everything actually), evil is not amoral.
Well, this is a story site... and we might as well play games with them too- right?
Ok, this is how it works: you are only allowed to post three words (not including punctuation, do as much or as little of that as is grammatically allowed). These three words can be as funny or silly or serious or whatever you feel like as you want.
Only three, no more, no less. We'll be telling a story together, and it will probably go to really weird places, but that's the fun of it.

Oh, and for the fun of it, you can only post after another person for this game, no multiple-posts-in-a-row spamming, for the fun of it.

I'll start us off smile

Once upon a
WOO! First 2011 Weekend Planner!

I am... gonna do stuff. Fun stuff.
Volleyball, a movie, see an old friend, er... probably have several meals involving food...
Erm... probably procrastinate instead of doing college work and come here and try put my thoughts down to digital paper.

This is like "What I did this weekend" from Grade 1 and 2... but in reverse.
