Ever feel like your characters are all kind of the same? Do you want to try a totally new kind of character and see what it's like without making a huge commitment? Do you want to free yourself from the shackles of your own small world and fly freely through the personas of others who act, think, and desire things in a totally foreign way? NOW'S YOUR CHANCE!

The Social Game is pretty simple. You are given a sentence and a voice to say it in, say:

"I love you." (emo)

Your job is to restate the phrase in the preappointed voice. I could be a short restatement:

"You make me feel less like killing myself."

Or something long and complicated:

"Every time I see you from afar / the Demons in my soul howl and shrink away / your light is more than a creature / a creature of night like me can bear / Do you see me? / Can you see through my mask to my soul? / Darkness looms within me / Pain grips my veins like fire / I can only say, I am burning for thee."

Then, you post another phrase and voice for the next person.

Those of you who were on VU remember this game, I assume. The rules are slightly modified now.

1. Follow Gaia's TOS
2. Use common place phrases, lines from songs, poems, whatever. Don't use private jokes though because these kind of make it hard for those who are not part of the joke.
3. Ditto for voices. Try to make it a voice that has a strong accent or stereotype attached to it, like my 'emo' poetry up there, not a person only you and a few others know.
4. Don't use the same type or phrase twice in a row, or types that are closely related. (like "hillbilly" then "southerner"). Remember, this is about expanding your writing ability.

So, yeah, that's about it I think. Using phrases and types that are opposite (like "What a cute kitten!" with Arnold Schwarzenegger) makes it more fun, but that's not a hard core rule.

The first phrase is:

"She sells sea shells by the seashore" (Snobby Aristocrat)

(I changed the quote. It really easy now!)
"She said she loved me/ Turns out she lied/ So I'll drink in my truck/ Because my dog died/ I'll talk 'bout how city folks/ are all missin' out/ even though I lost my teeth/ and can only eat mashed pig's snout."

Hi, I guess. Do you want something? Because you're gonna have to wait until I'm done listening to this My Chemical Romance song. I'm also painting my nails, and it's gonna take about 10 minutes to dry, so you should probably just sit over there and wait. I don't know why you're here anyway; youre wasting your time. We're all wasting our time, running in circles through our mundane routines. Life is meaningless. *hairflip*
