So today was my brother's birthday, and considering normally no one does anything for it, I decided to take him out to dinner. Now, historically speaking, our parents never seem to give a shit about his or my birthdays. And his soon to be ex-wife never does anything for him either. Surprisingly, his "wife" actually got him a cake this year and invited us over....

That was the most agonizing ten minutes of my life... So I tend to carry around a bottle of water that holds 36 ounces of water in it. Today I went through it twice in two or three hours, 72 ounces of water for those keeping score. So during the last ten minutes of class tonight it all decides it's time to come out. I...

Been in that same situation myself before.
The worst instance was when I went to see Lost in Space at the cinema. I drank a large (cinema sized) coke during the 1st 15 minutes of the film.
It decided it needed to come out halfway through the film, and I hate missing any of a film I'm watching, even though this particular one was really bad. I kept thinking "it's gotta get better than this" and somehow made it through the rest of the film before having to dash to the bathroom.
I was bitterly disappointed because I missed the theme tune at the end, which was the best thing about that awful film!

Yep, that film was so bad, not even Gary Oldman could save it, but at least he got to say the immortal line "Never fear, Smith is here."... 
Did you ever find out if there was an actual bomb threat or if it was just a threat?

So a bomb threat was apparently called in to my university today. I was just starting to get ready to go to class when two of my friends texted me. Before I could respond, one of them called me saying not to go to campus because they were evacuating everyone. I was a little worried about how out of breath he sounded, but he mentioned...

Thank you very much!
Nothing wrong with extra reading time when the book is good, but boring ones make me want to face a bomb threat rather than continue reading. What are you reading at the moment?
I'm busy with yet another urban fantasy series, as fun and simple as usual.
Oh, I had a weird experience on the site last week; apparently I added a member as a friend, and he thanked me in a private message. The weird thing is that I didn't do it. No idea how or what happened, but I changed my password straight away, apologised and all that.

Kitty cat says...get back to work!!! Kitty wants salmon for dinner dammit! :p

Yeah, I can relate to motivation issues, cute cat you have! 
I preferred the Pennywise nightmare to my coursework now too.
Had a survival "Hunger Games" type dream last night, only we weren't killing each other, we were trying to survive against Trolls and stuff...

Fuck this shit is getting old. Every couple days, for some reason that tech support couldn't answer, they send me a new password for this site. I try to log in, it fails, I check my email and sure enough, 'we received a request to change your password' appears in my inbox. Why the fuck does this happen?

So I might not be screwed after all. I thought that the page limitation on my detective fiction story, 15 pages, would make it too uneventful and easy to figure out. But now that I've got the end and the beginning written out at about 4-5 pages total, I think I should be able to make some good twists and turns to take the reader...

Was a good time for sure. Yay Lady Deadpool, lol. It's hard for me to find good male characters I want to cosplay as. Most either don't have much to make them stand out (basic suit, school uniform, etc) or are so outlandish that I don't have the skills to pull that off. Dr Horrible makes that nice. Simple, yet distinct! It is hard to find more average sized appealing characters.
I've been poking around the site to find out who made that picture, I might just have to contact them to find out. The style doesn't look particularly distinct, it is very anime/manga in style. But I want to know that character! Even if they just made it up.
I think starting from the end is a good way to go. At least for me, whenever I try to write, if I don't know what the ending really is, I'll kinda go aimlessly. Good luck with it!

Gotta stop being a slacker... Day two of spring break has come and gone and I still haven't done a single thing I need to. It's just so hard to be motivated to work when I have free time to catch up on the games I have. Doesn't help that I ended up picking up the walking dead game today. At least I've gotten a...

Is the Walking Dead game any good?
Hope you manage to get more work done today.

Excellent, sounds like they've paid attention to the show then.
Is that game multi-format?

My cat is an idiot. I'm trying to sleep here and I hear this loud banging and such. So I get up wondering what he broke this time. Next thing I know he jumps up on the bed dragging one of his toys with him. I figure he just wants to play so I grab the other end of the toy and try to get...

Nice! my story isn't as interesting as that,it's basically about 3 people who come together and bond over a few weeks.It tells how they came came to meet and whatnot.It's a drama- type story i guess.

Hey Bro...sorry i've been AWOL for a while. Im still alive! I've been forgeting to check back here often. I've been good. I hope you're doing well too.
So I seem to have begun at the end. Been working on my story, I just finished writing the ending before even starting on a beginning. I've honestly never done that before, I usually start at the beginning and see where the characters lead me. So now I have to figure out how to get to the ending I wrote. Should be interesting. It just...

That's awesome that you've had a short story turned into a novel already!
As Babel's already asked, are they published somewhere?
I'd be interested in reading one of your stories.
Hope this latest story goes well for you, at least you've got the ending done, I've always thought that was the hard part.

Hooray for playing hooky!!! I decided to skip today's class and start my spring break early. And surprisingly, I've been relatively productive. I know have the main ideas for my detective fiction story prepared, I know more or less who the murderer is, how and why they did it, and how my detective is going to figure it out. Now I just need to start...

Good luck on the writing!

Great news on the creativity front!
Hope that goes well for you, wish I had a talent for writing...
My stories usually end up descending into a rip off of a TV programme I've seen.
Thanks for the comment man, as per the job - I've still got it for now, so it's not all bad. Things might pick up for us, who knows?
Thought you'd like the graveyard pic.
