baarnold (William A Arnold):
I plan to go to graduate school for the next 3 to 5 years to avoid getting
a real job. During that time I would also like to marry a nice woman who wants
a career so I can stay home, play Nintendo full time, and generally be a bum...

This, I think, demonstrates at least two things:
1) Shakespeare had a larger vocabulary than God.
2) Assassins must be immensely bored to create
more words than either.

Girl of 18
Fell in love with everything
Found new life in Jesus Christ
Hit by a car
.....
Summer's day
As she passed away
Birds were singing
In the summer's sky
Then came the rain
.....
I don't want to start
Any blasphemous rumours
But I think that God's
Got a sick sense of humor
And when I die
I expect to find Him laughing

sorokin (Jessie Stickgold-Sarah):
How many times do I have to tell you
That I'm sorry for the things I've done
But when I start to try to tell you
That's when you have to tell me
Hey...this kind of trouble's only just begun
I tell myself too many times
Why don't you ever learn to keep your big mouth shut
That's why it hurts so bad to hear the words
That keep on falling from your mouth
Falling from your mouth
Falling from your mouth
I may be mad
I may be blind
But I can still read what you're thinking
And I've heard it said too many times
That you'd be better off
Besides...
Why can't you see this boat is sinking
(This boat is sinking this boat is sinking)
Let's go down to the water's edge
And we can cast away those doubts
Some things are better left unsaid
But they still turn me inside out
This is the book I never read
These are the words I never said
This is the path I'll never tread
These are the dreams I'll dream instead
This is the joy that's seldom spread
These are the tears...
The tears we shed
This is the fear
This is the dread
These are the contents of my head
And these are the years that we have spent
And this is what they represent
And this is how I feel
Do you know how I feel?
'Cause I don't think you know how I feel
I don't think you know what I feel
I don't think you know what I feel
You don't know what I feel
