I'm re-starting my old writing community, story_lines. Here's how it works. Somebody/Anybody can post a prompt. It could be a few sentences or it could be a picture. Then, others can add onto the story in the comments. The amount you want to add can be up to you. You could write as little as one sentence or as much as a couple of paragraphs.

This is very similar to a round robin. It's tons of fun and it's great practice for those of us who love to write, but are out of practice or don't have oodles of time to write. If you like this concept, spread the word because it's one of those things were, the more people you have, the better it is. As they say, the more the merrier!

Anyhoo, the first prompt can be found here. Feel free to create other prompts if something strikes your fancy. Enjoy!

And in other news:

- I have read about the latest kerfuffle on LJ. What a mess! I just thought I'd repost a statement saying that I will never cross-post anything written on your journals onto Facebook or Twitter.

Now I've got to figure out how to remove the Facebook and Twitter ticky boxes from my journal. What's the fix again?

Imagine that you are turning right out a parking lot onto a busy road. There's a lot of traffic, but you think you can squeeze in when a nearby light changes red. No worries, right? Wrong! Before the light changes, an old geezer in a big honking SUV-- a Ford Expedition, no less-- pulls up next to you and completely obliterates your view. And since it's a busy road with heavy traffic, it takes him for-fucking-ever to turn left. Yeah...that is a major pet peeve of mine. And even worse, these assholes don't take into consideration that a) they're bigger than you; b) they're obstructing your view; and c) you were there first, thank you very much. They just pull up beside you and then pull up all the way to the road so you can't see a fucking thing.

Seriously dude, take your goddamn gas guzzler and cram it up your ass, why don't you?

Okay...Link time! I've been saving these guys up for a while. Some of them are probably old news. Sorry! Just haven't had the time!

- Why cats will never be able to take over the world (Blame popfiend)

- Sci-fi meets high fashion! - This recent fashion school grad from Columbia College also so happens to be a big Star Trek and Doctor Who fan. Can you tell? (Swiped from someone on geek_girls_anon I think)

- Some sad news from a day or two ago. Anne Frank tree toppled by high winds and rain

- Ten things I know about the mosque by Roger Ebert. I pretty much agree with everything he says except the iman's choice of location may not have been such a hot idea bit. Muslims as well as Christians, Jews, Atheists, etc. died at Ground Zero. I see no reason why they can't build a mosque near there. And wasn't there an Islamic Center at that location before the World Trade Center fell anyway? Sorry, I don't see what the big deal is about...other than many of my countrymen are as xenophobic as all get out. (Link via ladyfox7oaks)

- Some people on Facebook set up a page petitioning that David Tennant carry the 2012 Olympic Torch dressed as Doctor Who. For those of you not familiar with the show, Doctor Who carries the 2012 Olympic Torch in the episode "Fear Her." I think this is an awesome idea and I would be very happy to see this happen. (I forgot who posted this link. Sorry!)

I don't do very many memes anymore, but I just had to do this one:


Give me one reason I'm going to hell.

Then post this request in your LJ, and I will tell you why YOU are doomed to eternal damnation.
