Oh BOY! I just KNOW that this week will be AWESOME!

*gasp* CYNDAQUIL! You dare CHALLENGE me?! I am the ONLY one who has ANY chance of WINNING!

Also, I happen to be EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD at faking accents.

Oh, you are all so ridiculous. The contest isn't who can do th best accents! It's about being the best Stereotypical Australian! No one cares if you can sound like you came from Selsey - which I can, by the way! For I was a star in My Fair Lady; I was the unamed character from Selsey in the opening scene. That you would have the audacity to think I could be surpassed in acting up... makes me so emotional!
"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

NO! ALL of you are wrong!! It is I who will win this competition! None of you even have the slightest hint of a chance! I will strive to become the most melodramatic person this forum has ever seen if its the last thing I do!

But oh! Cruel fate has cursed me with mountains of homework! Even on such a beautiful day, my academics still torture me so! But I will not succumb to despair, I WILL PREVAIL!

Fools, all of you! You dare think you can begin to compete with me, the creator of the forums? Tremble in fear for I shall rise up and conquer you all! But alas, for I am not eligable... Of cruel world, why have I been given such a horrid fate? Doomed to do nothing but add information about a new day to the first post. Curse the fate that has brought me to this!

Oh, Sir Silver, you indeed think that you are the greatest actor? A laugh!

For, surely I, the great Shere Khan, would top your simple peasntry role. What? That has nothing to do with accents? LIES!

Well, arn't we confident today? My my my, such wonderful, absolutly glorious melodramatics! Oh, how can I ever compete with such outstanding talent! It pains me to say that I have a creeping hunch that I, Gardialvoir, That Slightly Random Guy, will not be slightly random this year! Oh, how it makes me so sad.

NO! I must stop this excrutiating self-angst! Angst is a sign of WEAKNESS and NONCONFIDENCE...NESS! Yes, I know that that is a made up word. What do you take me for, a fool? I simply forgot the correct word for lack confidence. Why, my mind is telling me that it is incomfidence, but surely it can't be that! Can it? CAN IT!?

Oh dear oh dear oh dear. I have positivly no idea what incensed means! I mean, I know what it means as a noun, but not a verb! Or is it an adjective! Curse you vocabularly and grammar skills! You have failed me once again!

edit: Oh my, I almost forgot. Silly me. Does each day's events apply in the IPA topic? I have no idea how we will work this weeks glorious events into simply commanding our monstrous freaks of nature to attack other monstrous freaks of nature, but when there's a will, there's a way!

I, too, am puzzled by Tuesday's theme. What is it? If I do not know, how ever can I participate? *gasp* What if I am forced to sit on the sidelines, simply because I do not know the rules of the game. Oh, how simply awful that would be for me!

Oh, do not be so sad, Saber! You are going to sit on the sidelines with company! Granted, it's not as pleasing as participating, but be lonely not, for you are not the only one not participating! And if, preferably when, Josiah or someone else tells us what Incenced means, that that will allow us all to participate!

Oh Thank You Astral, for you have saved me much trouble of surfing many pages on the net to find out what Incensed means! Oh how grateful I am to you. Who knows how long I would have remained lost in the sea of pages and web sites!

I also greatly look forward to this week for it holds many laughs and mysteries about randomness.

Alas, the week of randomness has begun and I got here late due to studying exams. Oh the---
okay, I cannot do this. I might have better luck with tomorrow's theme.
This is my RP Forum, Tales of Symphonia Adventures, or ToSA for short. Please take a look?
