The Remarkable Rocket is a short story by Oscar Wilde. I'm a huge Wilde fan, and it's a super cute story... about this incredibly arrogant firework who's supposed to be let off at the prince and princess's wedding, but cries all over himself to prove a point so ends up being useless. Also, the last line "'I knew I should create a great sensation', gasped the Rocket. Then he went out", is quoted in Velvet Goldmine, one of my favourite movies. Also, I just think it sounds cool.... gotta love alliteration.

CrazyTexan: I have Texan flags on my wall too! I'm a wannabe Texan, lived in Austin for three years, moved back to England and now spend half my life defending it against all my friends who think they know what they're talking about because they watched Channel 4's program on fat people in Houston.

bits< well, i am about the same size as a bit of any of you (a whopping 5'1") plus, i love bits and bites, and there was a really really cool girl who went to my school and everyone called her bits (though her name was elizabeth, it makes sense...) and i always wanted a nick name just like she had and so i think i idolized her and it just sorta came back when i was creating an account... i have never used bits before, except on TP, on msn and yahoo etc. i am RUDE.... weird... obsession with a fellow classmates nickname... how sad a life i live....

Awww... its ok bits. I wouldn't fret too much, sometimes when you don't have something you just desire it more and more. I can empathize with you. But if you must cry, you can use my shoulder.

The Taoist void...zero sum of the universe.

My last name is too long to quickly be yelled down a hallway, so one day my friend yelled "PHLIP" and it stuck since there had always been confusion with another Emma in my theatre group. I was looking to sign on to AIM, and "phlip23" was taken so I asked my sister and she added "fudge" and "23" is my birthday. Nice and simple.

^ Yes, those ancient Chinese mountain men were MAD DEEP! I give them ultimate props! The levels some of them reached seem so incomprehensible and unattainable... They journeyed within...travellers of deep inner space.

**joanofarc** · 03-25-2004, 03:05 PM

seriously, mad unattainable... in this day and age - with so much static around us...

phlipfudge23 · 03-27-2004, 08:20 AM

now why couldn't I figure that out?

FeZnDaBoYz · 04-01-2004, 06:11 PM

OK here's the story. I was at a party and my buddies older brother and his friends started calling me fez because i'm brown and kinda had the same hair style. So from that day on I was Fez and are band was known as FeZnDaBoYz. It's pretty stupid, but we're gonna use it till we get seriouse.
