The Nominees Are…

(sorry about the shoddy html earlier. I accidentally went off with a beautiful woman, had an adventure, saved a pestilent bird only to let him die again, had a fantastic time with friends I love, had good food, played some soccer, developed a charitable idea, and drank an inordinate amount of Vanilla Coke)

Each post can only be nominated for one category. Goodie Grab Bags, Carnivals, and posts in other weblogs are not available for nomination (for some reason. Perhaps next year). Votes are by comments and only one vote per category per person.

‘You were popular? When?’

‘I had a dream about you last night. I thought you’d like to hear that. It was disturbing to me, I must admit, seeing as I do not know you. I dreamt that I decided on a whim to meet you in Australia (absurd in itself), and then you picked me up, and sometime during the night I got separated from you and your friends and I was stranded in Australia without your number or anyone to call and I was very very frightened. Weird. = Oh, and the lines of the worlds/donuts are not meant to be solid – just for diagram sake they are drawn as such. They’re more like the rings of Saturn in that they are truly not solid objects, but many rocks floating around up there that generally stay within their own orbit, but occasionally may break through layers. Ooo I got a whole metaphor going on here. I like metaphors. :D’

http://www.apixelatedmind.com/2005/09/we-need-to-talk/
‘Hmmm…
Sometimes it is necessary to talk, though… and sometimes it is hard to bring up a topic in the normal flow of a conversation. For instance:
Him: So I was waiting at a red light the other day and some idiot almost backed into me.
Her: Ah… moron… speaking of morons, I slept with your best friend last night.
Do you see how a simple “We need to talk” could have assisted in preparing the other for the impending conversation? Since it’s been programmed into us that “WNTT” is a prelude to a more serious subject matter, at times, it’s merciful to insert the phrase.
I think any real relationship will “need to talk” every now and then. Hopefully not very often, but enough. Personally, I’ve never been in such a relationship, so I don’t fully understand the gravity of the phrase.’

‘Dude, you’re wound too tight!You suffer from the same affliction all people who think they somehow matter, do. You believe you know everything and anyone with any smarts at all must believe the way you do. Guess what -‘

‘”They’re more like the rings…” I’m pretty sure that’s a simile. That being said, I was simultaneously very disappointedly and interested in this post. For me to explain, would take time and effort. So I leave all in peace.’

‘Disgusting child abuser, it’s people like you that make me want to convert to Christianity, for the brute satisfaction of condemning you to Hell. I just wish that one day you’ll realize how disgusting and wrong your feelings were, and that children do not deserve to be subjected to hardship because of your beliefs. Please never have children.
