Post subject: Stealing Chuck's Style
~(It's my goal to take Chuck Palahniuk's place as the greatest contemporary author of our time...by doing so, I also take the rights to his style of writing, which I love. ^^;; I was bored...so I just typed this up...my friend Cara said it does sound like Chuck's style...but with my own 'signiature Jilliness' to it.
So...here...ya go.)~
So what's happened is you've forgotten your paper at home. In that desperate, frantic search of the back seat with your arm stretched out backwards, twisted and upturned, the steering wheel slides just a fraction of an inch to the right. This eighth of an inch difference puts you in a ditch, still scrambling with your hand in the backseat, like the pathetic corporate sack of sad that you are. Your old-lady blue Chrysler is relieving itself of gas and fluids as you scream at the fuzzy dice dangling from your grease-smudged review mirror. You can't find that fucking paper, and now you'll have to walk back for it.
This is where your life begins and ends, ever turning on an axle of repetition and boredom. You've been trained to be this worthless pile of nothing, this little glob of whatever on the bottom of some much more important person's shoe. All that college and work and crap has brought you to this reality of humdrumness. All the preparation for life was more exciting than the real thing.
You open the car door, taking the first step on just another long, pointless road in your life.
That fucking paper…that ever-important trash…it's just some company bullshit about safety.
It's actually missing due to the wiping of your ass with it the previous night after you ran out of toilet paper. But you must not have noticed.
Your first step is over a growing puddle of anti-freeze. Its blue looks like the punch they serve at the business New Year's party. Like that Windex you almost downed after that horrible party.
Your brown tweed trousers drag the ground as you turn ninety degrees. Away from the car. Away from the company. Away from home.
There's only one direction you've never actually been in.
And you take that first step towards it.

Well, we used to use a green cleaner at the movie theater. We called it 'the green stuff.' That would probably sound dumb, though. Sorry. Does that mean the party's gonna have green punch now? That sounds just as bad as blue punch.
