Flexible Workplace: Part 1Days are long at MagiCont. You spend an 8-to-5 job where you have to supervise a large group of willing workers in a company about the unexpected. For the first couple of days this is relaxing, but afterwards it gets repetitive and tiring. Wander, noticing this early on, allowed me to express my individuality in the workplace, which gave me the ability to train myself in contortion for four hours of a nine hour work day.Flexible Workplace: Part 13 years ago in Short Stories More Like This

I'm one of those people that enjoy contortion. Not really the kind that are on those pay-to-view websites or the circus, although I do join them occasionally, but the kind that appears as a hobby. I do enjoy standalone shows and acts, mostly because the art is demonstrated flawlessly and not as a time-waster.
This would explain why I was out. I had noticed on an upcomin

I desperately fled from my locker as I heard the warning bell ring signaling us to start heading to class. I was late for English class everyday.
Why only me?
I am one of the lucky students who got the new lockers downstairs; my English class is on the third floor at the opposite end of the building. While I was running I could hear kids mocking me.
"Hurry up Tamera before you ruin your kiss up image!" yelled some one from behind me. I already had a pretty good idea of who it before I turned around to glare at him.
"Go jump off a cliff!" I yelled back. He put his hand in front of his mouth and gasped. I rolled my eyes

Again, this is about 87% opinion, 10% speculation based on observation of ff.net, and 3% fact. However, it's meant to be helpful. Kind of.
I didn’t get flamed last time, so I'm not going to write all of those pointless defensive bits and bobs this time. Flamers can go read part one. There.

"Smiling like an idiot"
You know I find it hard
To stop myself from laughing.
Sometimes it's just a sign.
The start of a whole new beginning.
I find myself looking up at the sky
While wearing this really goofy smile of mine.
While I think of you I can't help it,
you make me want to laugh out loud.
You smile, you laugh, and cry.
Would you believe it,
Your reasons make me want to smile.
You say the reason that you smile is so
I would come and say hello.
You say you laugh just because you know
The sound of my voice would follow.
And even when I see you cry,
You tell me that it's just because of a stupid fly.

Once upon a Cyberpolian time, where all was fake and pixelated, and the trees were green but bore no edible fruits, there was a pint-sized troll who went by the name of Fei Yan.
Now, if there was one thing someone needed to know about this little pixie, that one thing would be that she is always hungry. Oh boy, you can definitely count on that. There were lots of things she was hungry for. Bubble tea, sweets, cakes, candy, steamed buns—
Especially for steamed buns.

Alright. So, first of all, you need to think up a name. Can't think up a name like Lukarvu (the main character)? That's alright! Because I'm about to tell you a way to help think up names! (I actually don't use this though, I just thought of this right on the spot.)
Alright, so - count up the letters in your name, it doesn't matter if it's your first, middle (if you have one), or last! (Or you could count up all of the letters in your full name! Wow… that'd be a lot!) Now, count them up!

I felt the need to get what is going through my mind out somewhere, so here I am typing. It’s been a while since I’ve done anything big, so here’s something that gets me thinking and might hopefully get you as well.

I was thinking about having the heroes trying to stop a war between at least two factions (who haven't been detailed yet), orchestrated by an evil force in order planning to take over.
I also wanted the main hero to have some sort of jaw-dropping backstory, but all the //good// ideas (Amnesiac/artificial being/son of villain/replica/ect.) have been taken.
Also, there will be various different species:
Humans (Duh)

“Are you serious”, you would say,
And I’d laugh with no answer in my mind,
Because this is who you are.

Ever so easily too.
“Yes”, and you would smile.
I’d stare and your smile grew bigger.
I wanted it to stay there forever.
I wanted to kiss the lips that formed that smile.

Perhaps it’s just the result of neurotic, angst-ridden instinct, but this week, I’ve come to the conclusion that life is best lived as a lie. Or at least, behind a mask…
Last Saturday evening, and I’m standing outside a blue-lit church. A woman in a full white ball dress is walking towards me, and I can hear music coming from inside. All the people around me are wearing masks.
I stare in open mouthed admiration as the woman passes, and glance down at my own black dress. Damn. Outmanoeuvred. Looking around again, I see similar formal dresses, even more terrifying heels…but of course, eve

They fear they will be discovered for what they really are
Then left to die alone
And they let their souls bleed as they run through the halls
Screaming at the top of their lungs
They'll become something else as they flee this place
The battle has begun
All the ugly girls hide beneath their stringy hair
Wondering when their time will come
They fear they cannot shine the way they feel they should
So they just grow numb
And they let their souls bleed as they run through the halls
Screaming at the top of their lungs

Physics and HarmonyPhysics and Harmony7 years ago in Philosophical More Like This
The idea of the harmony of the spheres is a fairly familiar one. It is the doctrine that the planets each represent a different musical note, and that together they make music. It is similar to the Hindu philosophy that states the universe was birthed from the sacred sound 'Aum.' It also finds resonance with the Biblical saying 'In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.' Interestingly enough, these theories are starting to be supported by quantum physics, specifically string theory.
At the most basic subatomic level discovered so far, string theory suggests that matter is made up of tiny vibrational l

Miyajima Island: it is considered to be a very scared ground for Shintoism and Buddhism. Many shrines and pagodas have been erected here, honoring the dead and remembering ancient tales. Often, tourists come here to marvel at these buildings and see great performances. One show is being held nearby the Miyajima Pier, where a huge group of tourists and guides gather around to see a small wooden stage set up at the sandy shore. A sign on the stage tells of the act that will occur: Shou & Shika: Magical Performance at Noon. The foreign tourists shrug and stay, even though they never heard of this act.

Hello. I'm sure you all remember how back in 2010 when SEGA released the start of the amazing Sonic the Hedgehog 4 saga the "fan"base fell out and started crying about trivial crap like how the physics weren't the same as the ones in the classic games or how SEGA didn't use Sonic's and Eggman's classic models and all that crap but mostly everyone complained about the physics and they still are even with Sonic Generations. Yes. They're even bitching about classic Sonic's physics in that game even though they came closer to the Genesis physics with that one than Sonic 4.

Solar could hear the pain in Sanna's voice and realised just how little he cared. Right now, other things were on his mind. Apart from the occasional reference to his favorite snack, Melted Cheese Nachos, there was something else that he found himself dwelling on. He swiftly sat down and rummaged through a nearby box. Inside, it was full of his personal belongings, which didn't consist of a great deal to begin with. "Ah crap, it's gone again...." he said as he noticed an item that was absent.
