Lines I’d Like to Use
Posted: September 20, 2013 Filed under: Culture, Musings | Tags: culture, ideas, writing Leave a commentAs some of my friends and family know, I’m not just a blog writer; I also aspire to be a fiction writer (unlike almost every OTHER English major throughout history). So far I haven’t had much success in getting published (see previous snide aside), but I still plug away at it when I find the time and energy. A large part of that is I jot down ideas for stories and, more importantly, lines of stories or bits of dialogue I’d like to use. For me a lot of stories grow out of these tiny seeds, built around what seemed like a passing fancy at the time, or just something that popped up in a conversation with someone. I may never get around to using any of these, so I’m sharing them with the world. Feel free to take them, use them, make them your own. All I ask is that if you do you share the results so we can all enjoy them.

“These assholes are my friends.”
“Hey!”
“Look, I said you were my friends.”

“I would totally fight a hobbit for you, honey. You’re my preeeeciiiouusssss.”
“I’d fight a hobbit. It would have nothing to do with you. I’d just fight a hobbit.”

He radiated a palpable aura of ‘go fuck yourself’, with a side of ‘eat shit and die’.

His tombstone read ‘He had a better second half.’

“Maybe I’ll just withhold the Midol from you.”
“I want you to think very carefully about what you just said.”

Truly, he was a king among his people: the douchebags.

“I see a lot of things in my dreams, honey. I don’t want to take most of them home.”

“If these walls could talk-“
“I’d burn the fucking house down.”
