Acceptance Speeches

Wow, just… wow, I never in my life expected to have the opportunity to make a speech about making a daily flash about a generic character making an acceptance speech. I don’t know what to say, I’m so surprised to have the honor… I’d like to thank this generic character, who taught me indirectly that it doesn’t matter how long you go without making a daily flash about acceptance speeches, that it’ll happen sooner or later if you work hard to achieve this goal. I’d also like to thank this Wacom tablet, because without it, I know this wouldn’t have been as easy to do. And of course, I’d like to thank the pen stylus thing that came with the tablet, because we all know they’re a team, and can’t work without each other. Both of them taught me the power of teamwork, and that is the most important… what do you mean I’m out of time? No one told me about a length restric

Palm Readings

Before looking up “palm reading” on Wikipedia a few minutes ago, I had no idea it was called “chiromancy” too. And yes, this is basically the same as the thing from the flash about piano playing, but without a piano or the extra reactions.

As you can probably tell, I didn’t spend that much time on this, and that’s because I ended up wasting about five hours on TVTropes again. Completely unrelated to the flash, but as a result of a small part of those five hours, the good news is that now I know a bunch of movie/TV-show/book/etc lines that are often misquoted, and I can be that annoying person that points out common misquotations when they are said. Actually, I guess this page on Wikiquote (found after a quick Google search for “misquotations”) is a more comprehensive list and hopefully won’t lead to people wasting five hours reading other articles on the same site.

Eye Contact

I don’t know how interesting this is going to be to most people considering the fact that it’s basically a wall of text (or multiple walls), but if my theory is correct, Unnamed Character’s thought process in this daily flash should resemble the thought processes of most people that take the subway when something like this happens, and this will be incredibly relatable for those people. Most of the subway ride will consist of staring at the floor or at some other inanimate object such as an advertisement, a pole, someone’s shoes or socks, a newspaper/book, or at the door.

Yearbooks


We got yearbooks today! It didn’t end up like what happened in the daily flash, though. Which is good.

Side Effects

Interestingly, there’s actually a Prescription Drug Name Generator (complete with randomly generated statistics and drug information). There’s a lot of random name/info generators for even the most obscure things, I guess. Anyway, I found a lot of the real side effects in the daily flash from a quick Google search, which is kinda scary because one of the sites I found had like a really really long list of maybe around a hundred side effects. But yeah, it’s weird that some things really do have so many side effects.
