so how do you go about telling your school you don't intend to turn up to any of your mock exams except your art one because, well it's 10 hours of art, that's fun right ? and this is after many forced 'chats' with your head of year about how she will be very dissappointed if i don't try harder and get my target grades blah blah blah blah blah and if i'm not at my mocks they will come to my house and get me and bring me to school too bad i'll be on a train heading away from said place

I'm writing a paper comparing the Judeo-Christian and Hindu creation myths. It's goodtimes. So far, I have discovered the STRONGEST yellow skittle ever. You know how if you take two skittles, and press them together, one of them will give and break over the other? Well, I found this yellow one, and it stood up to one skittle of every colour! I was pretty amazed. I tried everything I could think of (relatively) to make it be the one to break, but it was just not having it. But then I ate it, so it's no more. It lived a good life.
Do you think I could include this in my paper? I think so. It will be excellent. I could conclude with: "And then God created the strongest yellow skittle to ever exist. The end."

I wish you could end papers with The End! I am so shit at conclusions. I just want to say, "In conclusion, I am right. The End."

"In conclusion, I am right. The End." That is beautiful. No, seriously. I feel that way too, all the time. Especially when I don't know HOW to end it. I'm just "And these were my points, let me repeat them to you. And here's a vague restatement of my thesis. Is that all? I think I'll be done now." And let's not even start about content.. :-\ 1200 words is so little, and yet, it seems an impossible goal right now. Sigh.

I hate when I get to the halfway point of a large wordcount, because then I am so tempted to just copy and paste what I have already written and hope that they don't notice.

I wish you could end papers with The End! I am so shit at conclusions. I just want to say, "In conclusion, I am right. The End." I'd kind of like to copy the works of Mr. Poe and just kind of end halfway through a sentence and claim that "I was trying to make it seem as if this essay was a found manuscript." I hate endings. Especially in foreign language essays...

You could use this one: ;~;
....I'm still not sure what it's supposed to be. Ask emergency. He has a load of imaginary emotions expressed in punctuation form.

You should. Although bearing in mind the ending's a bit different from Palahniuk's. I think Palahniuk said he prefers the film ending to his one. His one's slightly more ambiguous.

Exalt *makes high-pitched pipipipipi noise*, just for going to the trouble of drawing up the stupid emoticon on paint.

Yes ... well that's a face. Someone needs to start a "please explain these emoticon faces to Victoria because she doesn't understand them" thread.

It's the thumbs-up emoticon on msn messenger. It took me a while to get this too, because I never use thumbs-up on msn messenger. And clearly we aren't on msn. But oddly, people use it a lot anyway. =
