If Famous People Can Say Mad Things And Be Quoted, How About E-Friends of Kat's?

As the title says. If you've been in a movie or a play or an alien spaceship or a video of questionable morality (Hi, Paris!) then you get quoted when you say mad things. When you're us, you get looked at strangely and inched away from. Proof: Today I yelled "Ears!" and then started laughing maniacally. My father looked and me strangely and inched away. But today I'm not celebrating our quotes, oh no, that would make far to much sense. Instead, the quotes of some of my acquaintances from Elftown, a website I frequent. The address is elftown.lysator.liu.se, if you care enough to type all that. It's loosely fantasy themed. Fantasy like elves and wizards, not other kinds of fantasy, like fantasy basketball, the newest mindless fad among high school males.

Random Quotes by Elftown Members

"Life is a series of reality shattering revelations, where, in the end, nothing is as you would have it, and everything is as you would least like it to be."
- Generic Stereotype

True. Well spoken, GS.

"At least, in my own journey this is the way of art, for there is in my life, no life but the art, and in the art, no art but life."
- Skydancer

"Love the art - Art the love, express your soul through your art."
- Skydancer

I've seen Skydancer's art, and the guy is good. He does photo manipulations. Do not underestimate a man that likes fairies. The other kinds of fairies, imbecile.

"Let the minds be free and the hearts be merry, like the childish laughs of beautiful fairies."
- Crimson "the Alchemist" of AbSynthe

There are those fairies again. Strange name that one's got.

"Reality is just a fabrication of our minds to help us cope with our own imaginations."
- ethrail

I have to agree. My imagination frightens me sometimes.

"To be romantic is the depth of all sorrow, and that's where my soul dwells."
- Keisari

That reminds me of one of the readers of this blog and I won't say which because to say would be blatantly conceited, which I am for thinking it, but I don't have to tell you all that, despite the fact that I just did, and through this sentence I'm basically flaunting that, so I guess that makes me conceited after all. Oh well.

"If truth is beauty and beauty is truth, then as long as you are true to yourself you will never be anything less than beautiful."
- HiddenFire

Did you hear that Erik? Erik! Why aren't you paying attention - oh. Well, er, hi, Nadir. No, you two can carry on. Right, back to the blog then.

"Some things in life can not be explained, so people made up excuses, but of course the excuses, like the the things they explained, were inprobable and unbelievable themselves. So, of course, people needed excuses for the excuses. So people made religion."
- The Last Gunslinger

That reminded me of either Ben or Spencer or Gabe or both or all of you at once. Though Gabe would have through a "sa" or some kind of Jarr Jarr thing in, and Ben would have put in at least one "clearly." So basically it reminds me of Spencer, but well. . .um, yeah.

"And ere this darkest night shall turn to day,
and all these lucid dreams shall drift away,
pray take me on a journey through the fog,
into the mystic realm of Tir na nOg..."
- WindingRiver

Don't forget to write.

"Don't worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum."
- Dinaer

I haven't tried solving them with gum yet. Maybe I should. God knows I've tried everything else, including having Erik help me study. Unfortunately Erik's unavailable at the moment. Or rather, fortunately, considering my pairing allegiance.

"The CIA and Quizilla are in cahoots."
- Hackworth

I thought no one but me knew.

"Oh beautiful
They're scorching skies
The amber grains in flames
Purple mountains crumbling across the polluted plains
America America
Man smeared his stain on thee
And raped the earth for all it's worth
From sea to dying sea."
- Bonedust

Oh, lovely. Well. Not necessarily my opinion, but a neat bit of parody.

"I'm a living breathing contradiction, but only because I'm permenantly confused"
- Zantetsuken

Sounds like Kat spirit. Who gets the random song title reference? I actually hope you don't, because I hate the song, so I won't give you a muffin, instead if you get it I'll Punjab you, but as half of you are already under sentence of Punjabbing for Jarr Jarr impressions/confusing me/severe lack of common sense/not reading PotO/not seeing PotO, it can't affect you too much.

"You can't buy pre-packaged originality"
- Pelz

True, but you can find it fresh caught on my blog.

"When words aren't enough, there's always a nice shotgun shell that can finish your sentences with a bang."
- Avaz

Max is going to kill me. Yes, I support gun control.

"I refuse to relinquish the reckless abandon of my youth to the wisdom of my experiences."
- Acerbus

'Tis wise to be reckless.

"Life is quite a playground,
with many slips and falls.
But when you get back up and start running again,
That makes life worth it all."
- Gwendylyyn

Awwww. True. So true. Annoying soppy, so you want to smack it, but true.

"It's really hard work staying pissed off at the world."
- Images

Could you not put that in so many words?

"Everyone who lives dies but not everyone who dies lives."
- Gate Control Theory of Pain

Oh, you nicked that from somewhere. . .I'm sure I've heard/read it before.

"We are no more than the picture of our own soul."
- GreyCloud

"The meaning of life is there is no meaning of life because everyone has a different meaning of life so there cannot be one true meaning of life."
- Morag Ni Morrigan

(Blinks. Reads again.) Hey, I get it! And it's the closest we've come to an answer after 42, which didn't have a proper question to it anyway.

"Anything more beautiful than a strawberry is a luxury."
- Poncho

But I don't think strawberries are very - oohhhh. I see the point.

"While living in yesterday, we miss the today we'll long for tomorrow."
- DawnUnicorn

Ye Gods, you people are like Ben and Spencer to the Nth degree.

And now for my absolute favorite.

"All people dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their mind, wake in the morning to find that it was vanity. But the dreamers of the day are dangerous people, for they dream their dreams with open eyes, and make them come true..."
- Blue Highway

I need to steal that for a story. But won't, because I am kind and merciful. And a bit bloodthirsty, but that's beside the point.

I remain, gentlemen, your faithful and obedient servant,

J.G.

Hmmm. I actually read this post for the first time, interestinly enough, from my mom's phone. Neat stuff. I tried commenting to, but it didn't work.

Interesting quotes a mix of deep thoughts and Deep Thoughts, if you catch my drift. If you didn't get that lest sentance, rest assured that somebody else got it. And if that didn't make sense, well, not my problem.

I always would find interesting quotes but then forget them later. So now I have a Microsoft Word documen full of nothing but quotes. so whever I need a quote I know where to go.

Will any of these make your Word Doc? I've taken up embroidery. Does anyone have anything they want pointlessly sewn onto a piece of cloth, which they will probably never use again? I guess you can display it, but hey.

Possible messages to embroider, though I do not limit myself:

"So long and thanks for all the fish."

"I remain, gentlemen, your faithful and obedient servant,

O.G." (Or J.G., if you like. Or M.B., or G.D., or whatever. You can personalize.)

"OAYe!"

Or various graphics. . .I've rambled far too long now.

Isn't it tragic that there's a man on the Dodgers named Milton Bradley?

Embroidery, eh? That is somehow not suprising to me. More suprising is the fact that it isn't suprising to me.

Ok. Here's my graphic, a new logo for my website. Took me about 90 minutes to make, and involved math. Uhh. Ah well:

So why embroidery? I know a search for logic is vainm but if life is redundant why not ask?
