George was very tired. He’d been working all day, and he had the aches to prove it. His fingers felt like the tendons were trying to pop out of the inside of each knuckle, while his eyes told him that there was a giant with a thumb in each of his eye sockets. His back was also rather stiff; it seemed as if every time he turned, a whole section of bones popped with a loud CRACK. His knees were also creaking; each pop sent a shudder through his leg.

His work wasn’t finished yet, but George had a mighty need to stuff his face. His stomach growled at him angrily. George’s work was important to him; he hadn’t bothered to eat anything all day, and he was pretty hungry. The way his stomach was acting, maybe he could spare a few minutes or so and eat. He opened his lunch-box and began to work on his ham sandwich. Thank God for lunch boxes.

The sandwich was pretty good, and the apple left him content and thirsty. George downed a miniature bottle of water and grimaced. He glanced at the bottle and made another face. Deer Park. Man, that stuff sure is Deer Something, but it isn’t Park. Still, he was satisfied. George took a minute to reflect, them burped. If there ever was a philosophical belch, this was it. George considered himself a master of burping. Burping, and his job.

Several hours later, George finished. He cracked his knuckles and burped again, tasting his late dinner. His fingers and other joints still throbbed, but he was happy with a good day’s work. By now the FBI would be sending the money to his bank account in Switzerland; this pleased him. He needed the money, and he didn’t feel like launching any missile. It was too bad he’d had to launch the first one. George shut off the power to his bunker complex, and went to sleep on the trundle bed in front of the gleaming bank of computers and other hacking tools.

I just knew it.
You sure don't like Deer Park, do you? lol. Burking hacker. Nice concept. What did you write this for?

Ooh guys in corsets? Y'know I'm just crazy enough so that I MIGHT like that...
» randomjunk on 2006-10-23 06:07:39

I like it!
How did you make it on paint? I know how you make blinkies and invisble backgrounds on paint.

La Noyee eh? Hehe I forgot it was even there. :P Glad you like it though. :)
» randomjunk on 2006-10-23 08:54:03

Aww.

If you like La Noyee you'd probably like the rest of the Amelie soundtrack. Have you seen the movie?
» randomjunk on 2006-10-23 09:04:20

You should see it! It's awesome! I think it may be rated R, and it's in French, but that doesn't make it any less of a cool movie. Maybe they'd have it at the library?
» randomjunk on 2006-10-23 09:20:22

Sucks that you can't see it... :/

I think your story is pretty good, but it gives the impression that there's more to it. I feel like it isn't whole... you know what I mean? And it's okay if it isn't random. I may be randomjunk but even I'm not random ALL the time.(But don't tell anyone! :P) I can enjoy things that aren't crazy.

Haha sounds interesting. I just realized my comment got displayed twice... :P
» randomjunk on 2006-10-23 10:05:12

LOL! Exchange recipes. That's funny. XD
Ok this is the blinkie tutorial. http://www.tennyo.net/pixels/index.php?q=tutorial_blinkie.html You have to download a small program called MS Gif Animator. For the invisible background you need Ifranview. http://www.irfanview.com They both work on paint. ^.^ Just follow the tutorials.

Yup absolutely free and safe. They're really simple and help a lot.
» Kirei on 2006-10-24 04:36:57

Haha, George... like BUSH.
That's who I thought of anyway.

"Thank God for lunch boxes" is my favourite part. :)
» sarah on 2006-10-24 11:11:55

Yeah I just got it earlier today... you like?
» randomjunk on 2006-10-24 11:56:33

When Invader Zim was running I was too young to watch it... but I did manage to see one or two episodes. Something about removing that guy's eyeballs... and then eating people's guts or something. Hehe well at least I know why my mom didn't want me watching it...
» randomjunk on 2006-10-25 12:09:22

I love lunch boxes!
» sarah on 2006-10-25 01:13:23

You're right, you did spell it wrong. It's 'conceited'.

How about if it's just a photo contest of the person, with or without a computer?
» randomjunk on 2006-10-25 06:55:47

Hmmmm whoever is the least photogenic wins? Haha is that good enough of a twist for you?
» randomjunk on 2006-10-25 07:24:20

Personality... that's a good idea. Except that I tend to have two extreme sides of my personality so that might be kind of hard if I wanted to participate... hmm.

You think you have a lot of comments eh? Doesn't theZEBRA have some entries with a hundred or so comments?
» randomjunk on 2006-10-25 07:36:06

Oh that's why she's so popular? I always wondered about that....

Hehe most of these comments are from me. :P I think my highscore is 10.
» randomjunk on 2006-10-25 07:55:23

Wait I was wrong it's 11.
» randomjunk on 2006-10-25 07:57:09

Haha maybe I'd better cut down on the commenting eh?
