So I am very competitive. Julie is as well. I like writing clever-sounding, confusing things. So does Julie! What about you guys?
k, here's my challenge:
Every day, I'm going to be posting my favourite sentence that I've written for nano that day. I'm going to try to make it clever-sounding and confusing. Then Julie might post hers! Maybe. If she looks at these boards. I don't have her phone number. Oh well. I hope somebody else will join in. I'll bully Zach into it.
BUT ANYWAY then I will read everyone else's sentences and say mine is better.
This is the game. Yay!
At the end we might vote or something? Dunno.
Mine for today:
It started with a table, which is certainly a pretentious thing to say.
You can top that, come on, give 'er your best shot.

I'll bite ^_^
"Her satiny hair perhaps, or the way her pink, rosy cheeks dimpled into blossoms when joy erupts on her youthful features."
So weird and hard to explain out of context, but I quite like it for the description.

"A Dark Lord spread his Army of Evil across country and shadowed the sky with Dark Cumulus Clouds of Ominous Evil."
Janna and Raicara helped, XD
God I love the random and unnecessary capitals in bad fantasy.

Aha, this thread is made of win! I love it! Unfortunately, I don't really have anything good from yesterday or today, except maybe this:
"...but I just killed them all and buried them out back."
As you can see, that wasn't even the whole sentence, but that piece out of context makes me happy because....I'm a sick human being. That's all I got.

"Xandri had no idea that it would be so boring to rebel against her planet's government. She figured the had to have at least noticed that she'd just undermined their whole system. Waiting sucked. Maybe that was their whole strategy. Killher with boredom."
so... Not so hot. I'm doing terribly this year, but I'm really sick and I can't find the energy to get off the couch and think

"Hey! That's my second favourite song from my third favourite band's best album release to date!"
Gotta love the emo-kid's tuneskis blowing up some aliens!

Yay! I really like Aethre's and grlgoddess's thingies, but these are all lots of fun.
I didn't write anything clever yesterday. Actually, I didn't write anything clever today either, so here's the closest I could come up with:
“Persenmunat!”
Which I think means "arsetesticles" in Finnish. My Finnish is really quite shaky, tho. This is spoken by a smallish fellow of Asian descent in some University computer lab as well, if that makes it any more amusing.

Okay, so I couldn't pick just one.
"Now are you going to crawl back to your nerd hole?"
- Two of my characters really enjoy sniping at each other. This kid's not even that much of a nerd.
"Emma looked affronted at being considered 'cute' 'little' and 'alien', not to mention the twin thing, which she wasn't entirely certain about yet."
- Yeah, Emma's gonna have to cut a ... emo kid...
"So that's Captain of Cryptic Messages then," she said, nodding, as she stood out of the bed, "Good to know."
- Also Captain of the Innuendo Squad. You might need a heads up about that one too.
"What's so past o riffic about an mp3 player and a cell phone?"
----------- Past-o-riffic is an awesome term which should be used more often.

I'm mocking and metally destroying my FMC
“Do you refuse to take the test?” Was all he’d asked her.
"I do"
She was more than a little disappointed when instead of asking why he just nodded and left her house. The whole idea behind rebelling was to make a point, and she wasn’t even getting a chance to do that.
My poor character. Life is so difficult when people are ignoring you.

Not that it's part of the story I'm writing (or not writing as the case may be... although I've hit over 5,000 words for essays I'm working on...) but this is one of my favourites that I've ever come up with.
It was a charming little place, small and quaint, yet elegent too, with a staircase tucked into a corner that seemed to say, "I'd sweep if I had the room."

Ooh, this seems fun! This is mine for today:
"Oh, it's fine. I completely forgive you for slaughtering my parents and dragging me away from my home in a potato sack!" she growled sarcastically.

Aha! I've got one! Finally......after several days......All you need to know is that Tay is telling the other characters his "life story"....sort of.
“I was born in a small village filled with flowers and rainbows.” Meka snorted, but Tay continued. “I had many siblings who loved me immediately, and none of them were murdered by crazy revenge seekers, and my parents were rich and famous, and I lived a very privileged life, but one day I realized it was not enough, so I left the blissful land of Kass behind to seek adventure and found it in the form of killing people for money.”

Ooh, I wanna try!
Almost immediately did Gilbert's thoughts begin to linger on her hair trailing lazily behind her at times, her brilliant eyes, the sound of her laughter...
They were...
She was...
He suddenly stopped himself and made a face. Ugly.
Yeah, that was right; she was ugly. Super ugly. Content and smiling happily, he continued on his way home.

Me again! Here I go (btw, Daken is the villain, and Nydia is the good-guy FMC):
Nydia sighed. She was traveling with a rebellious teenager, a servant of Daken, and a slightly sadistic elf with a superiority complex. This was going to go well.
