Okay. This isn't going to be one of my typical Daryl entries. In fact, completely disregard this post as an 'entry' . It's merely a question.
See, I've been asked (or in other words mildly begged) to enter some writing into the school's literary magazine. Apparently not enough things have been submitted. So, being the desperate editors that they were, they came to me. Not because I write, but because I write for fun. I swear. Ten years from now you will find me working in some stuffy cubicle, doing everyone else's paperwork. And enjoying it.
And when at 4:30 in the morning I arrive home...at my parents' house, I will be greeted by my mother who would say something like
"Daryl, you really need to stick up for yourself. Don't let the bullies have all the fun!"
And then I would probably wipe the lipstick off my teeth and respond with something along the lines of
"Oh, no, mom. They're my friends. Even Wally, the fat one that still calls me Dariel and laces my coffee with deadly chemicals."
Yep. That's my future alright. And it will all start with this literary magazine.
Anyway. Back to the question. Since I'm feeling a tad bit lackadaisical at the moment, I don't feel like writing an entirely new entry. Therefore, I plan on using one of my previous entries to submit into the literary magazine. The only question I have for any loyal readers is....which one?
Please, pick anything but the one about the ten commandments. I don't think that would go over too well with....religious people.

Oh, Harry Potter for sure. Or the janitor and the lacivious principal.
Either, be happy that you know what you like and are incredibly talented at it.
Oh, how do you pronounce your name, just curious.

I liked that one about Bathroom politics. The one were you wrote about girls going to the bathroom in groups and who gets the mirror and stuff like that. I don't know if thats what your literary magazine is looking for, but I thought it was good.
Oh and no one submits to our literary magazine either.
My pleasure, you write incredibly well.
Daryl, I have to say this--and feel special, because it's not something I say to very many people--you rock. I started reading your Xanga after todaysrandomluckywinner's rant, and I read your first entry, then figured I'd read your second, then ended up reading about three more...
So far I love the bathroom one. We don't have a literary magazine, though, so I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for. Then again, it's been a while since you wrote this, you probably already chose an entry.
your writing is quite funny, and it gives me something [not completely mindless] to read in order to pass my boredom. so to recap, you write good, keep going or im going to have to send my army of pirate [and rabid] penguins after you.
