Something I invented in Maths class today (odd, right?). Thought it would be pretty fun, but I'd like to see how you like it.

It's pretty simple, so most of you should understand it. It works like this:

All you need to do is make a post starting with "Well, I woke up this morning". Then, you pretty much add anything you want to the end of it. It doesn't even need to make sense. For example:

"Well, I woke up this morning and there were tomato flavoured monkeys in my bathroom throwing potatoes at each other."

Yeah, pretty bad example, but you should get the point .

Note: It doesn't need to contain 'there was/were'. It all depends on what you want to put at the end. Eg,
- "...woke up this morning and my <something>..."
- "...woke up this morning an <something>..."
- etc.

I recall seeing a topic almost exactly like this a while ago, but I can't seem to find it, so I'll just post this up.

Why do you pirate games/applications? Is it due to money? Laziness?

Personally, I only pirate DS games due to the absurd price of games here in Australia. Occasionally, I'll buy a game that I think is worth it (Mario Kart DS, Metroid Prime, Animal Crossing, etc, and [in the future] Scribblenauts). If I had the money, then I wouldn't pirate at all. Period.

How many times have you heard a great song on an ad or video, but then discovered (to your dismay) that it was commissioned, and not an actual song? In all the times that this has happened to you (if ever), what 'song' was/is your favourite?

Personally, my favourite is 'Snap Dragon' by Johnny Green, which is featured in Balloons by Pulse Marketing. It simply has a flow to it that I really like .

What do you think? Any comments or critique would be appreciated.

I also need some help - I took some other photos, but (like the photo I used for the wallpaper) a large majority of the colour in the darker grass got greyed out by the camera. If anyone is willing to restore the colours (if it's possible), the 2 other photos are here: http://cid-c1a4c92e3cafc62f.skydrive.live....e.aspx/Pictures

I looked at a few people sigs, and decided to make something a bit 'arty'.

My result:


Made entirely in Fireworks CS4, using nothing but the smudge tool and vector shapes... I think I've done pretty well for my first real attempt, but I'd like to see what you think of it.

EDIT: New version, I've tried to add a bit of depth to the lighting...
