1000 Casket Pythons

James paced broodily back and forth. Cheesy dread filled his heart. Suzy should have been home at least an hour ago and it wasn't like her to be late. Oh, my bloody love, James thought. Where could you be?

Just then, the phone rang. It was the police. Suzy had been taken hostage by Innocent Hair, a supervillain who had the city in a state of ancient terror. James fainted dead away, like kids in a candy store with no parents.

When he came to, there was a bump on his elbow and the cheesy dread had returned. "Suzy, my moody honey bunny," he cried out slowly. "What is Innocent Hair doing to you?" Probably torturing her, laughing arrogantly as he bit her in the nose.

In the midst of all the terror and tears, James remembered a story his grandmother had told him. If you fold 1000 casket pythons, then whatever you wish for will come true.

James ordered in a supply of casket and set to work, folding pythons until his elbow was sore and he could hardly see. It took a week. He was just finishing up the very last python when Suzy walked in the front door.

"Suzy!" James screamed and threw himself into Suzy's arms. "It worked! I folded 1000 casket pythons and it brought you back to me." He was so happy, he felt like he was dancing under the stars. He kissed Suzy hungrily on the nose.

"Actually," Suzy said, pulling away indefinitely, "I was rescued by the Dark Banana. He's a new superhero in town." Suzy sighed. "And he's really fascinating."

The cheesy dread came back. "But you're morose to be back here with me, right?"

Suzy checked her watch. "Sure. But I've got to go meet the Dark Banana for coffee now to, you know, say thanks for saving my life. Stay vampiric, baby." She left and the door banged behind her.

James choked back a sob and started folding another python. Then he went out and got drunk instead.

Everyone has things they blog about.

Everyone has things they don't blog about.

Challenge me out of my comfort zone by telling me something I don't blog about, but you'd like to hear about, and I'll write a post about it. Ask for anything: latest movie watched, last book read, political leanings, thoughts on lima beans, favorite type of underwear, graphic techniques, etc.

Repost in your own journal so that we can all learn more about each other!

I was tagged by the ever-awesome i_love_freddie

Pick 10 people and give them the "you make my day" award. If you're picked, you are charged with picking 10 of your own.

Perhaps you've been picked because I actually look forward to reading your journal entries.
Maybe I know you in real life and I have deep affection for you.
You could have cheered me up when I was sad or it could be something as simple as giving me a hug whenever you see me.
Or it could be that you have trusted me with a deep dark secret.

The following people on my friends list have my award for one of the above stated reasons:

I'm already getting what I really wanted for Christmas - to spend it with Mark! But I thought, what the heck? Maybe someone will have access to something obscure that I don't.

My wishlist.

1. Interesting music, whether it's a single file, a mix CD, or a real CD. I like most types of rock. Rock/goth/techno/etc dance music would be awesome.

2. A book contract for Mark. His novels are really well-written. Anyone buddies with a publisher?

3. A sword.

4. A chance to see The Cure and/or meet Robert Smith.

5. Anything Eddie Izzard, even if it's just like...a burned copy or a file. I don't have any of his stuff, and I love him to death.

6. Hosting for my website.

7. Cool new Robert Smith icons.

8. Tickets to see She Wants Revenge, Taking Back Sunday, Brand New, or Kill Hannah.

9. Good quotes for my cardfile for camp. It's mostly for younger kids, so.. kid-friendly is good.

10. Locations of/ directions to neat cemeteries. I don't care if they're really small or out in the middle of nowhere - those are sometimes the best kind! I just like cemeteries.

[01] When was the last time you were scared? Last night, when some friends and I were tying to find our way to another friend's house. We were out on a gravel road in the middle of nowhere with no phone signal, and there was a large dog and a rather scary segment of woods. A horror film could have been shot there; I felt like I was in Wrong Turn.
[02] Who is your favorite serial killer? Jack the Ripper, of course! As for fiction - Hannibal Lector. :D
[03] What would be the worst way to die? A slow, torturous death, with a means of safety just out of reach. Burning, drowning, or suffocating would be awful, too. Or being eaten alive by zombies.
[04] Where do you refuse to be alone? In public/crowds.
[05] When did you last have a nightmare? Not too long ago.

scarlet_ibis had a ....thing.... I accepted, and gave me these 7 of my interests to talk about: anthony stewart head, blaqk audio, him, mountain dew, rupert giles, sloppy meateaters, something corporate. So.. here goes!
