This isn't much, but things seemed slow, and I haven't had enough time to really write anything new thats deep and profound, so heres a dramatic(ly exaggerated) retelling of something that happened to me. Most of my talent comes from my ability to exaggerate real life stories into on paper, and I really enjoy doing it. So here it is.
------------
My older brother, Patrick, my buddies Mike and Chris, and I are driving home from Nick's house at about 12:30 am (in Nick's piece of crap for a car, actually...No we didnt steal it, he let us use it) when some girls pull up beside us on the driver side. They roll down a window and a young blonde, at least 20 years old, pops her head out the window and shouts "You guys want a chicken nugget?!" while holding up some McDonald's chicken nuggets.
Already, I am thinking the nuggets must be poisoned. My first clue was that the nuggets are from McDonalds, so it's to be expected, but I also lack trust, and what would young blondes cruising around late at night get out of giving some college loser's like ourselves chicken nuggets? The satisfaction of knowing that they had killed a bunch of idiots, thats what.
"YEAH! TOSS ONE OVER!" I shout as I lean across the car trying to extend my hands out the window on the driver side.
She tossed a chicken nugget over and it hit Patrick in the face, then fell between the door and his seat. The light then turned green and we took off.
The next light turned red and they asked us if we wanted another one.
Of course we did.
She tries to throw another one, but it hits the side of the car and falls to the ground.
"Hey, remember, theres a 90 second rule, it's still good!" she shouts to us as the light turns green. It's obvious she wants us dead.
We speed up to try to catch up with them again. Trying to kill us or not, we aren't about to let cute blondes get away. Especially if they're offering us food. I mean, c'mon, we are men.
Alas, our efforts were in vain. We had to get onto to interstate, and unfortunately, that is not where they were headed. But the adventure didn't end there.
When we got back home, Patrick found the chicken nugget that fell beneath his seat and ate it. That, my friends, is hardcore.

LOL
Aw man, your work is so pointless that I love it's simplest. Again it has it's raw, real life essence about it that makes it you. I guess your lack of detail which I keep hen pecking you about is not need here. I can't put my finger on why I like this. whee

yeah, you may have noticed I'm a big fan of simplicity. And details are definitely not necessary here. "Cute blonde" gets the job done. Actually, now that I think about, I used less than 5 adjectives, I think.
Which reminds me of Stephen King's words of wisdom: "The road to hell is paved with adverbs."
Thank you very much for your comments 3nodding

I've already responded to this in your journal, but I wanted to say (and the edit function doesn't work for journal comments), that it's the last line which makes it. The story would be nice without it, but it just gives it that extra little 'life' factor.

LMAO!!
Oh my goodness, that sounds like oh so many of the useless adventures my friends and I have had over the years. If college isn't good for stories and adventures like that, it's useless!
Mad, you're my hero.

Wow, that was great! As mentioned before, the last line is what makes the piece great- it was a great way to end it! Aside from a few typos I don't think I would change anything. Great job!
