I feel like I should go ahead and continue my tradition of asking for your favorite sentences each day.Use this thread to share your favorite turns of phrases (or even short passages). Blind us with your brilliance!

Mine today is actually the first sentence I wrote, and it becomes a bit of a recurring theme:

I read memoirs because I believe you can find yourself through the discovery of others.

"Back off bartender, she's out of your league"

"And what exactly makes you thinkshe's part of yours Harvard?"

"Columbia, actually, and her name IS Ivy, is it not?"

Okay, more than one sentence but I heart it. :)

Ha! I like that!

Technically its two sentences but one stream of thought.

"I was also very attractive. Which in retrospect is a very vain thought, but at the time it was more of a revelation."

As Jake looked back to take one last glance at his home, he saw Davey go down in a barrage of lasers fired by the Domestic Suppression Unit, courtesy of Uncle Sam.

We have some mighty talented folk in this region #justsayin :)

"His hair wasdyed the most offensive shade of red possible."

"As soon as she got home that night, Andrea jotted down what she had seen in a frenzied manner, as though she might forget it as one forgets a dream upon waking."

"Nature people are rarely day drinkers, in my experience."

I have seen that color of red hair dye. what an excellent description.

This reminds me of a little song my friend wrote and loves to recite: "Day drinking turns into night drinking turns into early morning drinking turns into regret."

This may be my greatest achievement in any NaNo so far:

"Thats not meant in the same way misogynistic boys trying to holla at you from the passenger side of their best friends ride mean it."

Ha! I love it!

No, I'd definitely stick with 'offensive'. It 'feels' better (sorry, my brain shut off a few hours ago and I forget how to words).

Day 3: "Well, as you can imagine, neither of us were feeling particularly polite, and I kind of wound up biting him."

Yeah no that word is perfect "Obnoxious" is one thing plenty of cheap hair dye can achieve itbut "Offensive" is leveled up from there.

"I wasn't a fighter and I was especially not a fighter when I was in my pajamas, still hungover, in a dark room with no weapons."

Actually the paragraph before this was good too.

Today's is actually a quotation:

Theres an old Swedish proverb that goes lska mig nr jag frtjnar det minst, fr det r d jag verkligen behver det. This translates roughly to love me when I least deserve it, because that is when I really need it.

For something I actually wrote and didn't steal from my ancestors:

But this is not about cookies, this is about me learning how to be a bitch on the internet.

lol nice

I think this is my favorite thus far.

I turn to him with a question poised on my lips when I see the answer is in his eyes. An answer I dont want to see.

Grimacing in anger, a deep V traced between his brows, he growled, invoking the same, visceral sense of impending dread as a looming avalanche, Here, fishy, fishy.

This statement is even funnier when you realize he's talking to a sea serpent the size of a modern cargo ship.

. "Like right now it felt like I was moving through Jello dragging on with this book,it felt like nothing was happening, and it was taking forever."

My character is reading a book trying to pass time on the train, but really its a sentence about me writing this scene.

I'm just going to copy this whole section:

Fun fact: starting off statements with the phrase fun fact is one of my catchphrases.

Fun fact: another catchphrase is thats what Im here for.

Side note: my most recent annoying catchphrase is beginning things with side note.

Side note: I just sent those first three to Mike and he told me thats pretty much Jez in three sentences. You can skip the rest of the book, I guess.

Fun fact: I am ambidextrous.

Side note: When I try to tell people Im ambidextrous, I have a terrible habit of telling them Im bisexual.

Fun fact: I am also bisexual.

Fun fact: a nun once tried to recruit me to be a part of her convent when she found out I was single.

Side note: she did not know I was bisexual. Or ambidextrous, for that matter.

So meta. I love it.

"Can you write your names on this chalk board? I ran out of chalk but you can use these antacids instead."

"Whoever reads this the answer is no. You can appeal this decision but the answer will probably still be no."

The darkness surrounded us and made us feel safe, like no one would judge us for what we thought or felt. The wind carried away our confessions that night, and with them my guilt.

I think it is my favorite so far. :)

I knew the basics of telling compelling stories due to my history as a voracious reader and a compulsive liar.

Be real, Grace. How many other fiftee- year-old black girls have red hair and freckles? Ill be able to recognize her.

"But other than that oddity, I say trying to change the subject onto something less confusing, something that doesnt make my heart beat double time and my brain twirl into tiny tornados of thoughts.

"No one suspects the chicken, no matter how blue!"
