The [publishing] business is a cruel and shallow money trench. A long plastic hallway where pimps and thieves run free and good men die like dogs. There is also a negative side.

"I can't beat you without me!"-me (I am an idiot)
Here's the origin story for that line. Me and my friend was playing King of the Monsters 2 for the snes and we were at the final level and my friend run out of lives and continues when we reached the final boss and I tried to say "I can't beat him without you!" but instead I said "I can't beat you without me!". My friend started laughing at me for that. But I managed to still beat the final boss by myself and afterwards we laughed our ***** off at my stupid line.

"Don't get set into one form, adapt it and build your own, and let it grow, be like water. Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless — like water. If You put water into a bottle it becomes the bottle.

"It's not about strength or power - you gotta be fluid...You have to be like water...You're tense, I'm calm. You apply excessive force, I control that force through fluid motion. That means relaxing the whole body so that it could react instantly without resistance. You know, without thought. Do you see now? It means becoming like clear water...Water can take any form. It drifts without effort one moment then pounds down in a torrent the very next."
-Spike Spiegel's take on the above quote.

twally: so do you think you can ever reach perfection in your writing.?
the girl of my dreams: no. not really, but see there is beauty. i mean you can strive for perfection, but you'll never reach it. like when you write something. you just kind of know when it is done, when it is beautiful. but often times you lose beauty in your quest for perfection. and that is never a good trade off. you just have to know when your writing is done and beautiful, not perfect.
twally: (silently mumbled to myself) i love you...

Oh, Ireland born. Didn't notice that.
Twally, good luck. Remember, "It is better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all".
Don't know who first said that.
Or "better to have loved and lost her, than to love a loser."
-Luke Duke, off Dukes of Hazzard.
Just tell her how you feel....what's the worst that could happen?
