Favourite lines from your writings...

Kinda self-explanatory, I s'pose. Funny lines, deep lines, random lines that only make sense in context, whatever. If you like it, post it here, but try to keep it to just a sentence or two if possible. The weirder, the better I say. Oh, and don't add any explanatory notes, it's more fun that way.

Here's some of mine, all taken from NaNo '08.

“Silly vampire pumpkin, doom is for the Doom Cauldrons.” 

“A jack-o-lantern, the scariest one on the block,” said Vlad. “The one that actually, you know, eats stuff. And people. And candy!” 

“See what? You broke your finger?” It did look a little bent out of shape after all, and it’s entirely possible, stress fracture, I mean he is always carrying around that little globe thing of his.

-

Vlad: You don't even /like/ friends. Why do you want more? 

Chaos: I like to torture people, my dear Vlad, and friendship has, through my centuries of existence, proven itself to be a very effective method of torture.

-

“Vampires are creepy enough as it is, but to add pumpkin DNA to the equation of undeath is to step it up to a whole new level of freakiness.”

-

Morwenna: Man- eat-  No. No, no, chairs do not eat people.

Bartholomew: That one does, it learned how from the pumpkin.

-

“Well now you know I’m human, so happy for you. Hooray, congratulations. And such.”  

Hello! Good morning, this is your wake-up call. We’re not living in candyland… We haven’t been for some time now. Sorry.

"He's praying..." muttered Toby, raising an eyebrow. "He's praying to a shoe." 

"Yes, Toby," I replied mildly, "he's praying to a shoe. People do funny things, eh?" 

-

And just because, here's one from Broken Dreams:

The skeleton touched the brim of its hat in a jaunty sort of salute. “G’d evening,” it said.

TNO (umlaut...?) is running away to England when she's eighteen?

College? No?

Cool!

"Get off of me, you lump," I shouted at her. "I'm swallowing dirt!"

I just think that that's funny for some reason...

Er, yeah... *blushes*... Sorry, I knew that. The way you worded it made it sound like... I dunno... you were going to run away to the circus or something... duh. *hits self* Sorry. :)

(I so can't imagine TNO ((umlaut... this is really upsetting...)) in a circus...)

Bring a laptop when you run away, okay? Then you can give your Chatterbox friends updates... ;)

It'd be cool if we were all still in touch in college. Though I doubt it.

Some of us could be in touch... there's a possibility. I bet that if I ever don't get Cricket anymore, I'll still come on here almost every day.

And then Jimmy heard stomps on top of the cave, and they walked away, away for the time being. Jimmy looked around the cave, that was the most frightening thing he had ever experienced. His mind was pounding, and his heart was beating way too fast for a young ferret. 

 

“That’s the last thing I’d do, Fox!” shrieked Jimmy, even tears were flowing out of his eyes, “And I believe, I BELIEVE that there is a God and I believe that he will protect me from YOU!” 

 

Oliver pretended to gasp, “My dear, Lily! You would dare say what I taste like in front of the mean bully, beast? He will tear me to pieces,  and that would be so bad!” 

 
Oliver sighed, “What a life it is, being fat round my belly,” Oliver started crying, “Oh dear. I’m cryin’ again, oh how I wish I could be skinny again! Oh how I wish, my old mate, how I wish I could be skinny like I was when I was only a small child. But my child days are over, how tragic, and now I am overweight. Oh, all those useless years, eatin’ all that food, just tryin’ to make me fat. Oh, how I wish I could just go back to bein’ slender. Oh, how I wish.” 
 
WRONG!” Oliver cried at the top of his small lungs, “I’m so big, that well-I-well-I-have to roll down the street!” 
 

Arty pointed his paw at Jimmy, “Oh, you shouldn’t have said that, ferret. You don’t know my extraordinary hunting skills, never underestimate me... ARTY VAN HOUGH!” 

 
 

Arty sighed, he was beginning to get tired, “I have never worked this hard for food. Ugh, I need to get something to eat. C’mon out little ferret! C’mon!” 

Jimmy crossed his arms, “I’m not stupid, fox. And your not sly, so isn’t that too bad?” 

 
That's it. hehe Some of them seemed deep to me when I wrote them!!! :):) :D:D:D:D:D:D

Haha... I catch myself spelling color as colour and favorite as favourite all the time - and it's not like I read a whole lot of British books, either. Somehow it seems better is all.

Yeah, I did it so often that I just gave up and stopped "fixing" it when I wrote it. My English teacher doesn't mind, so I don't see why I should.

Yeah, Scoube's awesome. And she has a wicked accent. It's like... I dunno... Southern with a touch of Irish or maybe Welsh.

Scoube? Unique name... is that what she says you should call her, or a nickname?

submitted by Mary W., age 11 and one, NJ
(April 21, 2009 - 5:16 pm)

Yeah, that's her name - Grace Schoube (I spelled it wrong the first time, heh.)

It's pronounces Scoh-bee, though. :)
