So I'm doing this thing on the Kingdom of Loathing forums where a guy (pyroshinobi) posts words and then you gotta CREATE! working from those, presumably in a period of three days until the next words comes up, but it's been more than three days most times I think and late entries are accepted, which has been good for me as I didn't even start trying to come up with stuff until it had been running for some time. This is the thread in question, which you should check out - people have been doing really cool things, many of them probably more impressive and/or more "powerful" than my stuff, which you'll see copied below (even though I do actually kind of like some of mine, maybe all of them in their way). Pyroshinobi's first post also contains a link to the first time this was done on the forums, which I definitely need to have a look at as it was apparently "pretty gnar".

Actually, I was planning to post most of these as individual blog entries but as I only do one English entry every other week that would mean either I only did these for quite some time - which would be a problem, as I have several other ideas for things to put up here - or it'd take a hell of a long time before they got their time in the light - which could be seen as less of a problem, but now I have got it into my head that I want to share these with people other than the forumites. Also some of the pieces might, rightfully or not, make me wonder if they're not a little weak to get a post to themselves.

So I already published Blossom on the blog. Here come the rest of my things so far:


love

Eh, sorry, no time to do this now. Gotta go snuggle. :)

/ Old thing, part of a bigger work (see also this).

There once was a world, rather hateable
to a hell it was fairly equatable.
People tried to believe
that they shouldn't just - leave.
But maybe they should? It's debatable.

Sorry (guilt)

So, I'm sorry I can't come up with anything better for this. And I'm sorry for referring to it's original context so it won't make any sense when I copy it to other places later because I just can't censor myself for that kind of thing (sorry about that). And for that matter, for referring to the copying in the original version, that propably really wasn't worth it, disrupting any kind of flow I might have had and bringing in weird irrelevant stuff like that. I'm sure if this was working on any level it's just destroyed there, and the fact that I leave it in shows I really don't care about my readers, and I guess that's what I'm really sorry about, honest.
Hah, honest. I'm sorry about the falseness, "honestly".

This is just cheating, dumb stuff, I should really just leave off.
And if it's anything else it's just me laying out my self-hate on the table to make you feel sorry for me. Cheating of a different kind. Sorry sorry sorry. Just kill me now and get it over with. No, I shouldn't have said that.

And of course there's some part of me that's thinking I'm being clever with all this self-referentiality and shit, that's probably the worst part. No, there's always a worse part if you look. At least with me, I tend to think. Peeling the onion... But still, that shit's pretty dumb.

At least I feel guilty about the stuff. That doesn't necessarily make it better, though. In some ways it makes it worse. I mean, it means I should probably know better. It kind of means I'm wallowing in self-pity in stead of changing things, maybe? (Though I'm sure saying that is offensive to a lot of people who work hard to set right things they've done but still feel guilt.) And it means I feel bad, if I was unrepentant, happy doing bad things (like writing and publishing this - text? I can't say what it is, I can't even understand genres with all my language and literature studies, I'm just dumb and lazy, shouldn't feel guilty about being dumb but I'm sure I've made myself dumber than I need to be, sorry, also sorry about this long parenthesis making you lose track of the main sentence), at least there'd be my happiness as a good that came out of it all. So sorry I'm sorry.

I was going to end this with "sorry about cutting this short" (though I'm sure "too short" isn't what any poor bastard who has come this far is thinking, sorry), but it may be for the best. I might have gotten to the things, peeling away at the onion, that I really ought to be sorry for. The things where sorry might not cut it. Can't have that I admit to anything like that!

Eh. Sorry.

flow -
in permanence -
eating apples on the bridge

/ later published some places with title "The River in Autumn (haiku?)"

And finally, there was this... (only posted after someone told me I shouldn't keep it to myself):



This is not my entry for greed, because seriously. The act of publishing this hideous drawing as my entry for greed perfectly and profoundly illustrates the theme by showcasing my strange hunger for attention and for the illustrious position of "person who has created for all the things".
