i'll start!!!

Chuck Palahniuk (the author of Fight Club) wrote this beautiful short story called Guts

Knotted inside the snake, you can see corn and peanuts. You can see a long bright-orange ball. It's the kind of horse-pill vitamin my Dad makes me take, to help put on weight. To get a football scholarship. With extra iron and omega-three fatty acids. It's seeing that vitamin pill that saves my life. It's not a snake. It's my large intestine, my colon pulled out of me. What doctors call, prolapsed. It's my guts sucked into the drain.

@Love I've been around a lot more in the past. I recently became busy, the aforementioned novel being part of the reason.

i no joke read the hunger games in my freshmen year of HS, which is roughly 2-3 years before it Got Big, thought it was sort of cool until i got to the bad ending. then just watched battle royale and had a better time.


Totally inb4'd you admitting you actually liked The Hunger Games once Troll admitted he actually liked The Hunger Games


i don't think it's that bad, aside from the ending.
