Can you draw?

How about learning to play an instrument? Let the music speak where words have failed.

"Throwing this full can of Axe deoderant(highly flammable) into a bonfire won't spew shrapnel and embers over a 40 foot radius. Nor will it make a really loud bang and get me in trouble."
...Yep. Smart huh?

I could probably write an instrument better than I can draw. But no, I'll just stop any further alternatives-listing with the fact that I have no talent for anything, so I stick with the option that requires I only be literate to do, if not do well.

It sounds really corny and sappy, but one of the only things that I regret doing is kissing one of my ex girlfriends. I wish I would've saved it for the one I have now. I always look back on it and say.. "that was stupid! You [censored] piece of turd" and when I think about it my face turns the shade of green even the hulk would be proud of. bleh.... :yucky:

I have a terrible plan. And I'm going to do it.

I'm getting a passport and saving up a few grand. Currently living in the U.S.A. and I'm going to flee to Wales. I'm not telling anyone I'm going and I'm not sure I'll come back. Don't know where I'll stay or what I'll do, but I really want to do it.

Can't wait.

For future reference, oiling your bike breaks will not stop them from squeaking, and taking off down a steep hill is not an ideal method of testing.

Back in the day(roughly 4 years ago), decided that it was time for a female friend of mine and I to become then just, things really haven't been the same sadly. Things are a bit better now, but I broke the trust that she and I had. Kinda sad really.

"I HATE WORDS"

300 pages of writers block? What? I don't understand this sentence. How do you have 300 pages of writers block, it's a lack of writing. Unless your so amazing you looped around the scales and are turning raw boredom and uncreativity back into creativity or something.

Being with a certain girl.

We were together 3 weeks (not long I know, tell HER that) but she said she wasn't ready for a relationship. I said I'd wait for her. So I moved on and found the most amazing girl ever and I had to break it to the first girl.

Honestly, 3 weeks and we only saw each other 3 times. Am I bad for this? She makes me out to be a cheater and lier. Whaaatever.

I write very slowly, even when not plagued by blocks and/or difficulty forcing myself to get anything done regardless of whether I'm in the mood to. The idea behind the sentence was mounting frustration with 300 pages worth of slogging through said difficulties.

Ah, makes more sense. Best of luck to you. My book is sitting happily on 400ish or so pages now give or take depending on how my editing goes. Had a lapse for a few months, but just started getting back to editing (2nd draft) this last week. It's less writers block, and more like reality block with me. With any luck though this will almost totally finalize the story I want to tell and I can get to work on the little detail orientated stuff like spelling and grammar.

You just told all of us. Oops! :P

I've done something along the lines of that only I went to England instead. It was a very interesting experience and not something that I regret at all. If you're young and have nothing to hold you back, and it's been something you've thought about seriously then why not? Wales is nice. :)

Currently I'm in world-building limbo. I actually finished a novel some years ago, but it was more of an "off the top of my head/spare time" kind of thing I quickly became dissatisfied with, and decided to start a new one that I would put considerably more effort into. I'm world-building in a wiki file since I want a satisfactory basis and setup before I start writing, but it's never enough. So now I'm trying to force myself to get work done just for coming up with more imaginary holidays or something, not especially vital or interesting but it's a gap I have to fill.

World buildings seems to come naturally to me, but it's my grammar, and then dialogue are my weakest points.

I had a friend who went to Europe, and did this thing called couch surfing. It's where you pretty much set up and appointment to sleep on someones couch (or an extra room or whatever) for the night. Apparently, its a big enough deal that its considered safe, as I have been told that there are no (documented) incidents where someone was taken advantage of in any way while spending the night. I was told theres a forum for it, and the people who provide the shelter get some sort of reference thing, I assume like the Ebay ratings for people on Ebay.

We were filming a parody-video with some guys...
Created a S&M-basemant in the showers and someone had to wear suspenders as nipble clamps while being blindfolded and tied to a cross with a tennisball in his mouth...

I thought: "They're just suspenders, can't be that painful..."

Couldn't wear upper clothing for 2 days cause of the pain on contact...
