literature

Literature is a sort of aesthetic expression, usually involving words, but can be made of patterns or symbols. Most people think of literature as novels, but it can be anything you read, write, or create, as long as it has a special meaning. For example, a regular old to-do list is not literature, while a combination of certain symbols can be considered such.

My favourite kind of literature is prose.

Kurt Cobain

The lead singer and guitarist of Nirvana, who was/is revered not only for his musical talent but also his unwillingness to conform in an industry that practically tatoos "sheep" on your forehead. He eventually killed himself- many say it was because of Courtney Love, some say it was what he was fated to eventually do, and there's even a conspiracy theory that Kurt Cobain killed himself because of his undiagnosed lactose intolerance.

Kurt Cobain was one of the most important musicians of the 20th century.

stalljinks

A combination of the words "stall" and hijinks." Occurs when people have commit capers in public washrooms- for example, dropping a melon into the toilet bowl from three feets above, exaggerated sounds effects, etc.

The stalljinks almost got out of hand when Mikey commenced "Operation squirt bottle of Mountain Dew."

straight edge

The term was coined by the late D.C. punk/hardcore band Minor Threat, who promoted, through their lyrics, a lifestyle free of drugs, alcohol and casual sex. Ian Mackaye, the band's lead, claimed not to have started a movement, however, in today's underground(or not-so-underground) societies of punk and hardcore, it has become a full-on label. One who claims "the edge" does not participate in "poisoning" their bodies. No drugs, no alcohol, no casual sex(and others will include veganism, abstaining from medications, even so far as caffeine, etc). X's are used to represent "the edge".

sXe, edge, straight-edge, xxx

Monty Python

The world's greatest comedy troupe- often referred to as 'The Beatles' of comedy. The geniuses responsible for creating such stupendous works as'The Life of Brian,' 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail,' and many episodes of their television show 'Monty Python's Flying Circus.'

The members of Monty Python, dead and alive, are all quite hilarious people. And they make fantastic women too!
