Iiiiinteresting.

I'm going to comb this forum now that I finally have a bit more of a breather from work. If you're still accepting applicants, I'd like to join, if I may.


Cheers,

T out.

Bob and T, you are both accepted. Thanks for joining.

Time for the phrase of inspiration to be revealed. The phrase is as follows:

These are the lies that have flashed before my eyes.

Your task within the next three weeks will be to come up with a work of writing (no less than 75 words) and include this phrase in the work somewhere. When you are finished please send your entries to me via PM.

Deadline for entries is July 31st, 2007.

Looking forward to seeing what you can come up with! :)

Hehe, yea. Thanks, Jess. That's actually what I was going for. Had it correct in the first post, but I guess I missed a word when I posted the quote in its own post. Hehe. The correct sentence should have 'that'. :) Modified! Thanks, for pointing it out.
