I put a plant in a soap box once. But other than that I have no idea.

Thank you, that was helpful, Hawkins.

(Why do you do these odd and random things?)

Because you know... When people get really passionate about something and try and tell everyone and inform them, and get them involved in the cause and such... it is said that they are getting up on their soapbox...

Oh. I can honestly say that I have never in my life heard that expression. xD

But that's okay. It works.

I stood on a soap box once. It got flattened. Then stayed very far away from the soap. *makes sure nobody's looking, then attacks the soap violently with a knife*

Butterfli: why is there a bar of soap here with a bunch of stab wounds?

We should call Haratio. xD He always makes me laugh.

lmfao! From CSI Miami? lmfao!

A guy got stabbed with an icicle, so Horatio is there and is checking things out. The girl comes up and says, "He was stabbed 30 times. That's one cold killer."

*laughs*

and Horatio goes, "Yes, quite a cold killer. Cold as ice." and then he whipped out his sunglasses, put them on, and then walked away like James bond.

*ROLLS ON FLOOR LAUGHING *

I like when he takes out his sunglasses, drops a one liner, then walks off and the theme music plays. xD I always laugh.

Did you see the one where the guy got burned to death when he set his own house on fire? The first scene and when they kept showing the gas fumes slipping into the water heater and exploding...it was creepy. I don't know

CSI Miami is the best. Las Vegas is dumb. And so is New York. That Mac guy is weird. But the Las Vegas series finale was good, Travis had it taped and I watched it. It was kinda creepy with all those minis.

I only remember the guys on CSI Miami, I know one or two on Las Vegas and NY, but they're not as serious. They're not all mental about a murder, they'll always be like "hm. Looks like our vic wanted to try out skydiving." and the other guy'll be like "really? I went skydiving once." "oh really? How was it?" "it was nice. Thanks for asking." "Hm. OMG aren't we supposed to be investigating a crime here?" "Oh yeah. What was it again? A dead body? Oh. Just tell their family he fell out of a tree and broke his neck." "But that doesn't explain why his legs are missing." "Dammit, I'm not a doctor!" "Yes you are." "...I know. I just like to hear you say that."

I like writing dialouge. It's fun.

A guy who fell out of a plane attempting to skydive and somehow lost his legs? Or the one where the guy set his own house on fire, opened the door, took a breath of superheated air, fried his lungs and died?

The thing about CSI is though that there's always a story within the story. There's never just a "Our vic was shot by his brother for brotherly reasons. End of story." But that doesn't sell the hotcake or whatever very well does it?
