Edit: not happy with final draft. Will repost after revisions.

I made the application.
I don't like it.
Here, have a poem instead.

The World's Greatest Pancakes

When we were young, we crawled until
Our knees grated on the tarmac
And then we stood, and still welcome
The hardened souls and soles and shoes

At risings of the Northern road
A glance back is affordable
To bloodstains and footprints in sand
And all else which came in between

Yet all discomfort which endures
Is cured by the waitress's smile
She serves them with home-made syrup
We've never loved each other more

If I return the morn, she knows
The question is a bitter spice
Had it been me, nailed to that cross
I would look neither down nor up

Vio Amethyst, 27/02/13

If I said that, be right or wrong, to you –
I know of you, only from what we guess,
And were I false, would you then guide me true,
The wisdom sought, unto me, would you bless?

And if you did, if I said then – I feel,
Your sadness, in the falling bitter rain,
For our own kind, your beauty did we steal,
And storm clouds dark now serve to share your pain.

And if it were all true, I then would ask
Forgiveness, with the knowledge I now mind,
That beauty, do those winds and harsh rain mask,
Greater than any which could grace my kind.

And so, I ask, my heart would your hand fill,
If not, you have my love forever still.

o dear.

I think it's time we brought this back.

Rules of C1L game is as follows
(special thanks to Zecchini who helped during the rules' formulation | Originally posted by Valdremia):

The object is to change one letter ONLY, and make a new word. You can drop a letter, add a letter or change a letter, but only change one thing. You have to keep it going until no one can make another word. You CANNOT play off of your own word. NO PROPER NOUNS, NO ABBREVIATIONS AND NO ACRONYMS ALLOWED! Each word played must be found in one of the 4 ENGLISH LANGUAGE dictionaries listed here.

When no one can make another word. That's the end of the game. The last successful person is the winner.

Example:
player 1-dark
player 2-dart
player 3-tart

(I) Game starts:
all winners of previous round will post 4-letter words for the next new round to start.

(II) Winner:
The winner of the game will be concluded only when the game ends for the week, i.e. as per clan time's end of each Sunday. If the game proceeds to have a conclusion nearing or after its prevailing week and trickles over to next week, a minimum of 48 hours* from last posted word left uncontended to be declared the winner. This is also to give others who might not be on forum daily, a chance to play or counter as well.

*Pertaining to last contended word under normal circumstances where there is none dispute or arrears to the word played or played on. However, when the word played and/or those played after it are questionable, disputed and/or requires validation, 48hours starts from the time/date it is validated. This is to ensure that players have ample time to contest the word and would not have lost of opportunities since they been pre-led to play off the invalid word.


(III) WORDS PLAYING OFF ITSELF and REPEATS
(1) You can't repeat a word that was previously used. Ex: word words word wouldn't work.

(2) You cannot play a word directly off its previous** under the following conditions:

- Changing of tenses (past to present vice versa): e.g. Sit > Sat, Lend > Lent, Baffle > Baffled, Know > Known.
- Changing of plurals versus singular: e.g. Play > Plays, Gasps > Gasp.
- Use of adjectives: e.g. Large > Larger, Trick > Tricky, Sex > Sexy.
- Change of spelling same word: e.g. Carat > Karat.
- Cases of words obviously playing off itself under the same genre of meaning: e.g. Muffled > Muffler > Muffle, Battled > Battles > Battler > Battle

**Note: under certain circumstances where words are played off directly but does not fall under the above conditions such as for e.g. Crate > Crater, Read > Ready (clearly different meanings/words), it is acceptable. If there are disputes please raise concerns with valid reasons. I will do my best to assess it.

(3) No professional-related words that does not exists in the English dictionaries stipulated in the game links.

(IV) Dictionaries
4 Dictionaries STRICTLY to refer to are:
CAMBRIDGE DICTIONARY ONLINE
CONCISED OXFORD
MERRIAM-WEBSTER (assoc. Encyclopædia Britannica)
AMERICAN-HERITAGE


(V) Added exceptions - Spelling (American vs English)
Both are acceptable. So long as we stick to an existing word, same meaning, English based. You may use the Cambridge link to check the American Spelling:


Have fun! :)

My entry for National Poetry Day, as part of my Creative Writing course.

ANNE DE SEINE
VIO AMETHYST

Making history, I do not live for.
Meeting history, like you, I'd die for.
Unanswered question, unsolved mystery,
It only serves to fascinate me more.

What could shatter such perfection?
Was it, from Winter's heart, escape
Into the choke of nature's lifeless tendrils
To rot all trace of existence away?

But have you seen how you served on -
With gifts of wisdom, graced those in doubt
And taught them all of life and love,
Though only after they fished you out.

From the signposts and the little wooden fences
To grand walls lined with gleaming razor wire -
Polished buttons upon a soft fur coat,
To keep the cold from infecting the fire.

Yet so long ago did you show the world
That hidden beyond, chilling waves to the eye,
Lies warmth and calm, the serenity you found
Beneath the Palais du Louvre and a starlit sky.

With interesting content.

Taking a Creative Writing course in college this year.
My first homework was just to write something, so here it is.
Another epically long poem by Vio, naturally.


THE PASSING OF THE MAD COW
VIO AMETHYST

The sun had drifted past the hills
That fateful summer afternoon
The sky was clear, the wind at rest
And nightfall would come all too soon

The barren earth beneath her hooves
Cried out in pain for all to hear
Her hellish growl from deep inside
Warned that no man should come near

"The cow's gone mad!" the Farmer cried
All the townsfolk came to see
What their once most precious cow
Had now come to be

The Mad Cow bellowed in her rage
To the crowd within the town
"She can't be milked" the Sheriff said
"She's got to be put down!"

A young lass stepped up with a knife
The Mad Cow broke her thigh
The farmer then tried with his axe
They say he lost his eye

We all agreed her life to end
Yet no one could know how
Then from the crowd, my voice was heard
"I shall kill the old Mad Cow!"

A silence fell upon the town
They cleared a path up to the pen
With empty hands, without a word
I stepped into the Mad Cow's den

The gate swung shut, and with it came
A deathly chill upon the breeze
Her gaze upon my chest, I stopped
And fell upon my knees

"O Mad Cow" I cried aloud
"To bring you harm I do not seek!
"I have no blade, do as you wish,
"But first, I beg you, let me speak!"

She held her ground to contemplate
I saw the madness in her eyes
To my relief she did not charge
The Mad Cow to me then replied

"Foolish child to enter here,
"Save if you wish to meet your end
"Speak your words, and speak them strong,
"For you shall never speak again."

My heart raced within my chest
Though my breath was calm and deep
And after but a moment's pause
I slowly rose up to my feet

I took a step towards the cow
She growled as I drew near
I looked her in the eye and said
"I speak for none but you to hear."

A few steps more, before I stopped
Just below the Mad Cow's chin
The mighty beast stared down at me
I felt her breath upon my skin

"O Mad Cow," I said to her,
"For this I have been truly blessed
"To speak with one such as yourself
"Before we both are laid to rest

"Ashamed I am that I spoke not
"For all the years that I stood by
"And watched our demons take their toll
"And never answered to your cry

"There is no greater punishment
"For me than to know
"That pain and shame we all have caused
"Has come to shape you so

"Though when they said that it must end
"In silence I could not remain
"I may not right what has been wronged
"But to try else, I can't refrain

"In truth I have come to confess
"The burden which you bear
"Is no stranger to myself
"It is a burden that I share

"In differences we are the same
"So together let us cry
"For I also share this curse
"We both are Mad Cows, you and I.

"A promise, all I have to give
"Within you I confide
"No more shall you suffer alone
"For I shall be here at your side

And with these words I raised my hand
To rest upon her bare neck's skin
And for the first time felt her warmth
And her heartbeat from within

She did not move, nor did she speak
A single tear fell from her eye
To my shoulder she brought her head
And rested with a lonely sigh

I held the Mad Cow in my arms
And felt her anguish fade away
Two Mad Cows were understood
There was nothing more to say

Her legs gave way, her body fell
I knelt beside the fallen cow
She placed her head upon my lap
Knowing that her time was now

I kept my promise till the end
And held her till the cow grew cold
Though what she said with her last breath
No one save I shall ever know

I stood again as night had come
The town spoke not - they had not heard
They parted as I left the pen
And started home without a word

After years of rage and hate
The Mad Cow's end had come to pass
Yet before she left this world
The Mad Cow had found peace at last

Last night I had a shower, and we had some weird new bath gel. I decided to try it out.

Shortly after the shower I notice my back and arms feel really dry. I take no note of it.

I was up till around 3-4AM finishing my English coursework. After that I got into bed, but due to excessive consumption of energy drinks, I was unable to fall asleep. I simply lay there for around 3 or 4 hours straight.

At around 6AM, I noticed a weird prickly feeling on my back and arms. While sleep was already impossible, this made even lying down uncomfortable. Thinking it had something to do with the heat, I turned off the heater and opened the window slightly.

The prickling continued. The best way to describe it was as if a large amount of porcupines were rolling around on my skin. It must have been a reaction to that new bath gel. I had college in a few hours, and I needed to at least get some sleep in.

I changed tshirts, but that didn't help at all. I eventually picked up on the fact that the porcupines occurred whenever my skin touched fabric. I took my shirt off entirely and opened the window fully, but the porcupines returned as soon as I lay on my back or side. I tried laying on my front and using my arms to keep my chest from touching the bed, but the porcupines just moved their way down to my arms, which was equally as bad.

It was nearing 7am and I was running out of sleep time and options, and the siege of porcupines was not letting up. Then I recalled how the WG t-shirt is 100% Australian cotton and most buyers claim it's the most comfortable shirt they own. I jumped out of bed and dug through my cupboard until I found the shirt, and put it on. I then got back into bed and lay down as normal.

In less than 5 minutes, the porcupines were gone.

Bravo, WG...

Short-lived as I got 63 defence within a minute of getting that.

Had to sell obby cape and zerker
Cost like 400k
FUCK

Just posting to clear up any confusion that may arise.

As of today I have made a lawful name change.
My name is now Vio of the family Amethyst, or Vio otf Amethyst.
You may call me Vio for short.

My IRC nickname will be Vio, and my RuneScape display name WG Vio.
I will update the forums and memberlists, and other RS-related groups e.g. RSC, YouTube, etc. as necessary.

Had a French class today
Topic was Transport and Tourism
And I learned the french word for "Train".

Ready?

"Le Train".

In the old combat system, I would now be 126 combat.
Never thought I'd see the day.
