While I certainly didn't do it for the rep, I was a little miffed that I didn't get any for running the Champions modding contest. Miffed might even be too strong, more like cranky.
THIS IS NOT AN ATTEMPT TO SOLICIT REP, SO DO NOT GIVE ME ANY FOR THE MODDING THREAD!! (or this one for that matter, though Reneshat, that was funny)
A lot of you have been VERY kind the last few days rep-wise, but I was a little irked a few weeks ago that posting silly stuff was netting me better results than actually doing something that I thought of as constructive.
For those of you who are worried about Doug, I'm pretty sure he isn't going to do anything stupid atleast for tonight. Hopefully you can rest well in the knowledge that he will be doing the same.
Well, here's the first few, to give you an idea... you will notice that some characters are more represented than others, because I actually figured out how to sort in MS Word by the LAST word, not the first!
In no storyboard order, some quotes from the book...
Don’t you have any sense at all? What made you lose what you had left of your mind? - Bulma
How can you ask me to just sit and watch as you die? I want to save you, but I don’t know how! Please, Kurenai, you’ve got to tell me how! - Gohan
I’m not going to be kept from doing the right thing just because I’m a child. – Gohan
You know, I think Piccolo really should find a girlfriend. - Gohan
I truly thought… you understood. I thought you understood that Kurenai is a friend, and how important my friends are to me. I thought you understood that I never wanted Kurenai to come between you and me. I thought you understood that I was telling you the truth when I said it was forever. But now, I see that you don’t understand at all. And now that I see that, I would rather die as her friend than live as your husband. - Goku
YOU ARE NOT GOING TO TAKE HER AWAY FROM ME! - Goku
You feel powerful for being able to reach the stars, but at the same time, you feel so small in comparison to them. - Goku
She loved all of you so much that she chose death rather than live knowing you never loved her in return. - Kami
Every day must have mystery and beauty, joy and passion and danger and sorrow, no matter how small. - Kurenai
I wasn’t trying to make fun of you, I was trying to meditate like you do, but it’s damned hard. I feel so tense that all I can think of is how my jaw hurts from clenching it. - Kurenai
I… WILL TAKE YOU… WITH ME… STRAIGHT… TO… HELL! - Kurenai
It’s cold… the fear, it’s so cold, like I’ll never be warm again. No matter how much I try, I can’t make it stop, I can’t keep the chill away… You’re not afraid of anything, are you, Piccolo? So afraid that it chills your soul and the world seems dark? - Kurenai
Oh, that’s rich! A low-life, arrogant, stuck-up, stubborn, callous, cold-hearted bastard of a prince, who wouldn’t know what love was if it came up and screwed him, has the unmitigated gall to tell me how to live with my feelings?!? – Kurenai
Scientists say that no two snowflakes are ever the same… Imagine that… all this snow, year after year, and no two the same. Like people in a way. A lot of us look alike, and even ARE alike in certain ways, but never quite the same. - Kurenai
You can’t understand, Goku. Finding moments of beauty in a lifetime of eternity is so hard, because everything becomes the same after a while. You have no idea how lucky you are, you and Gohan and ChiChi and the rest. You know how to live, because you know that someday, you're going to die, and you don't know when. You don't know when the sun won’t rise for you, you don't know if you’ll live to see the next sunset. You don’t have forever, Goku. I do. – Kurenai
Does the fact that he is not your son make his life any less valuable to you? - Omega
Why should I care about the life of one woman when I’m on the verge of becoming a god! - Omega
Damn them, damn all of them to the depths of hell for hurting you like this. And damn me for almost not being able to save you from them. - Piccolo
Do you always expect your opponents to fight fair? - Piccolo
Everyone is afraid of something… and the fear can tear at you and wear you down until you think you’re going to go insane. When that happens, you have to hold on, hold on tight to something that strengthens your soul. Darkness can’t last forever, nor can fear. - Piccolo
It’s like… heaven itself is weeping… - Piccolo
It’s not you, Kurenai. It’s just me being utterly baffled by this thing you humans call infatuation. Caring, I can understand. Loyalty, friendship, love in a non-romantic way, I get. This romance thing just confuses the hell out of me. - Piccolo
Romance sounds like a lot of hassle for nothing. - Piccolo
What are your dreams? As you dream in the night, what does your heart call out for? Do you dream of Vegeta, or of Goku? Do you ever dream of me? - Piccolo
Then see the power of your ‘creation’… and then consider your own folly for eternity… in hell. - Shiryu
You are my avatar, my chosen… your body holds my power…together, we will stop this evil. - Shiryu
All my life, I have faced fear, blind, heart-stopping fear, and sometimes, the cold horror of death. I even walked through its door once, and I thought myself numbed to it. But… the pain, the fear, the death, none of it has prepared me for this, for what I face now, this… emptiness. - Vegeta
I am here to purchase jewelry for this woman. That does not mean I am betrothed, engaged, or in any way romantically involved with her! - Vegeta
Warriors are cold and heartless, we live by strength alone. To be distracted by emotion is a mistake I will not allow myself to make. No matter how much… I might want it. - Vegeta
Were I any other man, I would love you until the stars fell from the sky… but I will never love, not even you. - Vegeta
I know, a lot are disgustingly sappy, but it's MY book, dammit, so deal with it.
Rep is always nice, too, in addition to feedback.
So I'm a rep whore, so what?
