FINALLY  I'VE BEEN WAITING FOREVER. IT WAS SO GOOD.

 

I liked it. Keep going.

"Please, sir, I want some more."

*imitates singing orphan*

"We want more!"

 

Thanks! ^_^ There will be more. :ph34r: 

 

And I just learned what US designers in 1939 thought women would wear in 2000.

Today in Shakespeare class, our teacher divided us up into four groups to write a sonnet: three groups to write a quatrain, and one group to write the couplet. The subject was heat.

 

It... was an interesting experience. :mellow:

 

 

And it was hot upon the sandy beach,

the sun's strong beams shine on the empty shore.

Soft waves crash in an everlasting reach.

I wish the sun would shine forever more.

 

Thy heat is like a pin pricked in my side,

the sharp end point spreads poison through my soul.

My heart sinks with the ever-changing tide.

I now begin to think that love is dull.

 

Jakolby's politics are getting heat,

throwing shade as dank as roaring flame.

He may think his views are turn't and elite,

but #feelthebern's a choo-choo train.

 

Although my passions lack the heat of flame,

truth is, this Utah weather is to blame!

I am utterly convinced that retrofutirism will be a thing in the future.

 

Think about it, you are a fashion designer in 2153, you need something to be the next big thing, but what? Oh, look at all these silly things the people back in the mid 1900s thought we would wear! Lets go with that.

Hey morzathoth, where does your Profile Picture come from?

An old manga called Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. Its my favorite.

 

To summarize 25 years of serialization it is about the bizarre adventures of the Joestar family, all who have a name which can be shortened to Jojo (exactly what it says in the title XD). It has a kind of Mistborn structure, like the eras. Each 'Part' is about a different 'Jojo' and is mostly a self contained story (even if having read the previous parts greatly helps, like you dont need to have read era 1 to enjoy The Alloy of Law, but you should) and whatever weird, horrible things that happens to them.

 

My avatar is Hikashikata Josuke, the 'Jojo' of part 4. (Apparently the kanji for 'suke' can be read as 'jo', dont ask me, I dont know japanese)

 

I would recommend watching through the anime, it is awesome. Part 4 starts in a couple weeks (The manga is up to part 8)

 

Questions?

The broken line.

 

Could you tell that that stanza was written by the more... eh, punk group of students? :P

It's annoying when you have to sit through a class in which the teacher has no idea what they're talking about and yet tries to pretend they do anyway. I just sat through a lesson in which the teacher essentially tried to feed us a formula for making a creative writing piece.

 

You don't have a formula for creative writing! You can't say that this, this, and this must happen! If you limit it as severely as you do, then it stop's being creative writing. Particularly since in the last assignment task for creative writing, this same teacher marked it and I got full marks for that component, and I quite literally broke about every rule except one in that task.

 

Then there's the elitism that popular fiction can't also count as 'true literature', which annoys me to no end.

What kind of this this and this must happen!?

Like heros journey or like your character must be named Barbara and she has to find a stray kitten?

All short stories must highlight a problem with contemporary society. You mustn't tell the reader the point you're trying to make however, but instead must try to bamboozle them by talking about something completely different so that any meaning they take out of it will probably be completely different to the point you meant to make was anyway.

 

I might have paraphrased slightly.  :ph34r:

 

There's more as well, but I'd stopped taking notes by this stage except for points I genuinely considered to be valid (which were few and far between, unfortunately).

It most likely shows mods the message you're reporting, making it not so personal anymore.

I just realized you can report personal messages. :blink: How does that work?

 

It's there in the (hopefully) unlikely event that someone starts getting harrassed via PM.

*sees no one's replied in over two hours*

 

*dies of shock*

 

And what the heck . . . ? :

I agree. What the heck? Why aren't people voting for him already?

Okay guys, I have a problem. I found this amazing picture that would be great for my profile, but I also like the one I have now. What do I do?

Flip a coin? Save the one you currently have and alternate?

Post the second picture, and have everyone vote for which one is better?

Switch between the pictures everyday?

Turn one 50% transparent and put the other behind it so you can use both?

Flip a coin to decide?

Bribe someone who you interact with a lot to use the second profile picture?

Go back in time and beat your past self into unconsciousness before they discover the second picture?

Bribe chaos to allow you to have a .gif for a profile picture, then make a .gif of the two pictures switching?

Put the second picture in your signature?

Link the second picture in your member title?

Make a second account for that picture, then switch accounts every post?

Post in the Random Stuff thread and ask for someone else to make the decision for you?

All of the Above?

Put up a picture that wouldn't be great and you don't like.  Nobody wins!
