This one's unusual. So, what? It's a contest, it's a bucket, hmm...

Prizes: None, it's just for fun! Sorry, but I can't afford these things...
Deadline: NONE! As in, NONE! This contest will be ongoing. Prizes will be given whenever I feel they've been earned.
Rules: Just come up with something meaningful, a brief phrase of some kind. Absolutely NO plagerising. To give you an idea, here's a personal favourite of mine:

"I am a part of all that I have met", from Ulysses, by Alfred Lord Tennyson.

"Do not go gentle into that good night; rage, rage against the dying of the light" - from Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night, by Dylan Thomas.

Just come up with something like that yourself, something meaningful.

-No word limit, but you know the best of these things are always short.

-You can enter as many times as you like; you can't win quote-of-the-day more than 5 days in a row (so you can't just make money by entering all the time when nobody else does).

-Incidentally, if there's a quote someone else has said, you can post that, but credit it to them, even if it's your friend. That won't count as an entry, but it does add to the bucket.

-I'll be entering too, but I can't exactly win my own money.

-No fee, naturallement (that's French, I think).

How to enterYou just have to post it here.

By moi:

"Life's too short to diet."

"Alcohol... it's a love-hate relationship. Love when you're drinking it, hate the morning after."

"Before you do anything in front of your family, ask yourself, 'would I survive my grandchildren knowing this?'"

"Everything makes sense in the beginning" - me.


"The world would be a better place if everyone acted as if their mothers were looking over their shoulder" -unknown.
I would love to say that I made that up, but I didn't. You don't have to enter it.

"God never looks away from his creations, as we do on Earth, a craft project isn't always too interesting to watch over" -me

"Sometimes friendship is too dear to hold onto any longer," -me

"Glue sticks blondie," - me

"Don't talk to me until I say so, don't touch me until I say you can, and don't act like you know me until I click my tongue three times and snap once, otherwise I will be humiliated by my friends from the space comitee" -immitation, but still me, lylas919.




I am adding to the bucket!

Alright, this one just needs to be said:

"He who fights monsters should see to it that he himself does not become a monster, for as you gaze long into the abyss, the abyss also gazes back into you" – Friedrich Nietzsche

And also:

"I LIKE WOMEN- No! What I meant to say was..."- Kayla Perensovich (my best friend (also, she really didn't mean to say that. It was just her moment of accidentally mixing up words. It is a funny story, though. I'll tell you later.)

"How now, brown cow?" -Erika Apathy (my OTHER best friend)

"Wow! That proves it! You have absolutely NO heart!" -Kayla P.

And a few by me:

"I may not have that much endurance. Or strength. Or speed. Or fast reflexes. But I have thee things on my side: intelligence, wisdom, and a cookie."

"You haven't met my cousin, have you?"

"I have a heart... It's just small and dark."

Just thought I'd point out this little weird fact but the quote, "The world would be a better place if everyone acted as if their mothers were looking over their shoulder" is actually a line from the first episode of the new season of House! It was said by the mother who was sick.

Okies... onto quotes.

"I know Karate and I have a banana. Obviously I am a descendent of Ninja monkies!" -Me (This actually was said during a random conversation with me and a few friends when we were talking about bananas...)

This one requires me to give the sentence that came before it... i hope it's not too innapropriate... just some friends of mine joking around...

[ "Hey! Ariel, any sex in that yet?"-Me

"Not yet just some lick- oh wait, there's some."-Ariel ]

"We are human and all we can do is acknowledge this and move on with our lives, we can't expect to be perfect." -Me

"Choices are limitless, regret nothing." -Me

"Maybe I should get lost on purpose. Then at least my life would be interesting." -Me (talking to a friend about how bad I am at memorizing street names and the such...)

"I WANT YOUR MINI COOPER!" -Me

"Singing is my life and a life without singing, is no life at all." -Me

"Love is like the wind. It whispers to us gently and then drifts away." -Me

"I will hunt you down and guy you like a fish with a rusty spoon!" -My friend Katie.

"I live life by the CHILL rule. Change for no one. Hear what people have to say. Insist upon doing the right thing. Love all who need it. Lots of chocolate is always good." -Me

I KNEW IT!!! I KNEW IT!!! I KNEW IT!!!!! I just KNEW it was from House...
He is awesome, did you know that in real life he has a British accent, but he covers it up on the show!?!? I was surprised by this, well I will feel like a spammer if I don't type a quote or two now...hehe.

Here is my brother's back-up quote for that one..."The world would be a better place if everyone looked over their own shoulders" - my brother.

"OOH CUTE!" -me at the mall
"Sorrow isn't something that you can ignore, sorrow isn't something you can cover up, sorrow isn't something you can live with, sorrow is sorrow and there is no other definition," - me

"Someone's words don't make happiness, you do," -me

"COME ON HOLLYWEIRD!!! YOU CAN DO BETTER THAN THAT!" -me yelling at a movie screen.

"Mariella, is me," -me, from Kate Nash's song "Mariella,"

"I wish I could sing like that dang it!" -me mad at my voice.

HEY! GIMME BACK MY COOKIE! *growls menacingly*
To late, Iz ate it. twisted I went and bought a whole package of Chips Ahoy! Chunky, you can have the last two if you want.

My friend and I managed to get on the topic of drug use today.

"I claimed to be drug free, I never claimed to be sane."-friend

"Insanity is my anti-drug." -me

"I don't do drugs cause the voices in my head tell me not to." -me

Seriously, there's a reason I don't do drugs or drink. I'm weird enough as it is without an 'altered state of conciousness'

Me: "The quest for sanity is what finally drives you insane."

Someone that I can't remember: "No one ever plans to fail, he just fails to plan."

Little girl at bus stop: "Where's your sister?"
Me: "I ate her."
Girl: "You scare me."

Someone in my study hall: "Without us short people you'd have no one to make fun of."
