- Dully
And maybe that was the tragedy of it all. A gloomy human with a mind a bit too fuzzy, forever walking around a blank space of grey, trying to escape the inescapable buzzing glow in their ribs. To drown out that deafening call of the imprudent lake that so limberly cast them aside now and then. Like a dog's rough collar I am, always it seems, stifled around the edges, and too obtrusive in the dull serene.

- My girl
Quite meek and shy, but somehow it seemed almost as if she always knew more than she let on. But she remained paralyzed, almost, with a slight glint of confusion, no compulsion resting atop her brows. She knew what she was doing, right?

- So tragic stars
We cried under the stars that never forgave us for being too numb in the heart that we chose to stay put on this spinning, smoldering rock, instead of hugging them goodnight and humming to them our tragedies lost. The stars don't forgive us, and they won't ever soon, because to them we have betrayed what it means to be called the moon.

- Losing
There's no shame in losing to a black belt when you're a white belt, but when you have very similar skill levels, you're going to come back to the techniques that are most likely to get you a win.
Mitchell Tenpenny
- Truth About You
There's two sides to every breakup, one's a lie and one's the truth. One of 'em went down and one was made up, but in the end we both lose. Why can't we meet in the middle? Call it even, call it truce. If you quit tellin' lies about me, I won't tell the truth about you.

- Be Alright
And my friend said, I know you love her but it's over mate. It doesn't matter put the phone away. It's never easy to walk away, let her go. It'll be okay. It's gonna hurt for a bit of time, so bottoms up let's forget tonight. You'll find another and you'll be just fine let her go. It'll be alright.
Onomatopoeia
- Asking for something
Some people out there are afraid of asking for anything, and that includes me. I find myself shivering in fear whenever I want to ask for something from someone. What is it that makes me think this way? Is it possible that I feel a sense of guilt when I ask for something? No, it can't be. As far as I'm concerned, whatever it is that I'm going to ask for is well within my right to. So why on earth can't I do it?
onomatopoeia
- Sense of Humor
Sometimes I find myself to be laughing at the weirdest possible thing that exist in this world. I could be laughing at a pineapple at 3:00 in the morning for absolutely no reason. But it's comforting knowing that I'm not the only one like this... right?
Your Worst Nightmare
- Right Handedness
Look upon my unholy opium lolli-pop! Holy moly, I only kill Jim by lolli-pop. My link upon him, you'll jump no ill. No, you! MY yummy opium lolli-pop! Nom.
Your Worst Nightmare
- Left Handed
Drew's race car was a feared avatar. We saw cars sew far east desert treads, was Ted's dad aware we saw Drew? Wade craved desegregated stewardesses' breasts. Few great tresses dread sad readers, fewer red sweaters fear red dresses. Rat-faced Dave fears sweat.

- Breathe Deeper
Seems you're coming on, breathe a little deeper should you need to come undone and let those colors run. Now you're having fun, so do this and get through this and come find me when you're done, so we can be as one <3.

- Thumb typing
I've started typing "c," "v," "b," "n," and "m" with my thumbs. It's slower right now, because I need to think about it so much, but my thinking is, when I need to move my index fingers up and down so much, it really slows me down. Try typing "unannounced" a bunch with thumbs for bottom row and tell me what you think.

- Typing quotes
Typing quotes is so enjoyable. There's something about getting dropped into the middle of a piece of literature or just something someone said at some point in their lives. You get an introduction to such a broad and random set of perspectives. The only criterion is that someone had to like it enough to submit it as a quote here.
Terry Pratchett's "Men at Arms"
- Vimes' Boots Theory
A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet. This was the Captain Samuel Vimes 'Boots' theory of socio-economic unfairness.
Terry Pratchett
- The Average Voter
What a place! What a situation! What kind of man would put a known criminal in charge of a major branch of government? Apart from, say, the average voter?
Terry Pratchett
- Regarding Ankh-Morpork
Murder was in fact a fairly uncommon event in Ankh-Morpork, but there were a lot of suicides. Walking in the night-time alleyways of The Shades was suicide. Asking for a short in a dwarf bar was suicide. Saying 'Got rocks in your head?' to a troll was suicide. You could commit suicide very easily, if you weren't careful.

- Life is the Game
People take life too seriously. They say life is a game and you have to play to get ahead, but if life is a game shouldn't you play for fun? It's not like there's any way you can win at life, everyone dies eventually. There is a game that's like that. You can play it all you want but you can never win, and someone like me will come along to make you lose. You just lost the Game.

- I Hate Parties
I hate parties. And a wedding party is the biggest of all. All the guests arrived and Orpheus is taking a shower. He's always taking a shower when the guests arrive so he doesn't have to greet them. Then I have to greet them. A wedding is for daughters and fathers. The mothers all dress up, trying to look like young women. But a wedding is for a father and a daughter. They stop being married to each other on that day.
