Oh god, the purple dialogue =/

Quote from: Vector, age 16
“Dead, younger and older,” he said.  “On the steps of sanctuary lie Edhaam and Imra—and here am I, ready to cart them into the ground!  Let us mourn them with blood and bones, spilled in the streets to forbid a red flood in the rain.  Let us slay for an end of slaying.  Let us bludgeon innocence to abandon cruelty.  Such madness sleeps in the heart of man!

"Little love, here you must remain in the silent dark.  Do not cry.  Cold flesh will feed willow and white jonquils.”


Oh god, the purple prose =/

Quote from: Vector, age... mid-highschool?
I wonder sometimes if there is not some great irony in how man gained his crystal skies, by dislodging the womb of the earth and taking it to fly away in.  I sit on the backs of ancient creatures, looking at the sky from close but always, always shielded from its wrath by terrestrial bones and antediluvian blood.  We burn the old beasts in our engines, lending our machines the rhythms of our hearts and bodies, bestowing upon them our brains and fury and above all our buried, tacit dream, that singular desire to be something we are not.


I think I have to forbid myself to read stuff that I wrote more than a couple months ago, because it's all shit.

 Yeah, I know the feeling after I had to look over all my old art when the basement flooded. How did a school think it was a good idea to accept me for this crap?

I would bet money Andrew has edited things retroactively, except I can't prove anything because it was edited retroactively.

Yeah, that was the inner dialogue of a more-than-half-crazy pilot right before he crashes >_>

I can't find any version of Franky's Theme that doesn't have a ton of fuzzing noise in it.

Hopefully its just me being hypochondriac again and not me becoming sick.

I can't say it's enormous disappointment (yet).  There are parts that I'm really enjoying reading, and all the references to Cyrano de Bergerac, Romeo and Juliet, West Side Story, and Sweeney Todd are pretty neat.  It's also just fun in parts.

But I want to kill Nutt.  Slaughter 'im.

Bah, I was about to start a thread with a question I had from my writing, and then I answered my own darned problem.  I've got to be less effective if I want to do this here.
Wait, independantly solving your problem made you sad?

I have this issue that makes me singularly unsuitable for GMing or organizing anything fun.

I will get into something like D&D or whatever, and I'll be really into it, but then suddenly and inexplicably it'll end and I can't bring myself to even open a book regarding whatever this thing is.

It's annoying >:c

Indeed. The whole football thing was a letdown too.

His books are rather hit-and- miss as a series, but I felt he really dropped the ball in some ways with that book.

Condoms are okay sometimes, I guess.....
This made Realmfigher happy, but it makes me sad. Too little, too late, I'm afraid.

Yup.  When you independently solve your own problems, you no longer have an excuse to talk to other people about your writing.
