**********************************************************************
Within the deep crevices of Farhan’s abnormally brilliant brain, there resides the actual thinking process that dominates his decision. At the head of the council is STRUCTURE, in a formal suit with a laptop and Starbucks coffee. Peering over the laptop is none other than CURIOUSITY, with a long nose and clothes with all imaginable colours on it. Pondering deeply at those fascinating clothes is INSPIRATION, in an angelic-looking robe with a halo mysteriously floating above. With him is PASSION, clad in fiery red and constantly in ecstasy at the lively activities around him. IMITATION seems to wear a mix of everything the others are wearing. Looking rather annoyed is REBELLION, dressed in punk clothing.

STRUCTURE
Guys, listen up. Farhan is in urgent need to prepare future blog entries. We need to think up of some new writing styles.

CURIOUSITY
Why new writing styles?

REBELLION
Because those stereotypical ones on the nets about losers elaborating on their sucky lives just suck. We need some new ones that will kick them in the ass.

PASSION
All right then. I’d like to see some new ones myself. Let’s get some ideas to start with.

IMITATION
Fanfics, fiction written by fans about what they idolize. Make the entries look like fanfics written by someone who’s a fan of Farhan.

STRUCTURE
You’ve got an interesting concept there. But we have to make it original, something of our own creation. Inspiration, enlighten us on this one.

INSPIRATION
Hmm… Let me see… Something suitable for a blog, with a touch of fanfic in it… How about a twist of reality, to rewrite actual events as if they happened in a fictional world, not bound by realistic limitations.

STRUCTURE
And we have an original idea ladies and gentlemen. So we have some fictional entries that have a tint of real world events. How else can we make this more interesting?

PASSION
We could have each of these fiction based on one specific emotion. Something like the fiery passion of Vengeance and the solemn emptiness of Hopelessness.

INSPIRATION
Let me see… Liberation, Endlessness, Pleasure, Emptiness, Bliss, Rebelliousness…

REBELLION
I like the sound of it. We need something that will create some talk among the readers, something referring to them. We need to get them talking back to us. Breaking their rules is something that will surely get them talking.

STRUCTURE
Calm down Rebellion. Until Inspiration gets us something good, I’d rather have you sit down quietly.

CURIOUSITY
Wait, before we go on to other things, why are we even using creative writing styles to write this blog? It doesn’t seem appropriate. I still don’t get it.

REBELLION
Because normal blogs are just bullshit. What we’re trying to do here is to at least make interesting bullshit.

STRUCTURE
Now that you’ve mentioned it Curiousity, it does seem weird to make boring things interesting.

REBELLION
Go read Farhan’s blog will ya. Then see how things can get interesting.

STRUCTURE
Read it? I WROTE it!

IMITATION
Yes my precious, once the hobbits are dead, the ring will be ours!!!

INSPIRATION
A-ha! Another character!

CURIOUSITY
Err…. How does that relate to the conversation?

STRUCTURE
I get what he means. Another way to make the entries more interesting would be to include another character other than the author himself.

PASSION
An interesting choice would be to have someone so different yet similar to the author himself, like Gollum.

REBELLION
Ooooh! I know! I know! Let’s have his opposite self! What better way to portray hatred and depression than have the very person that the author is not? That way, he’ll be able to break rules!

STRUCTURE
We’re not letting anyone break any more rules.

REBELLION
Why not? What are you going to do to me if I break them? Make more rules? Fine with me. Without rules there’s nothing to break.

STRUCTURE
We’re not having this argument, again. Fine, I’ll go with your idea, since Inspiration is running dry.

INSPIRATION
*Gasp* Need…. Water….

STRUCTURE
Ok gang, I think we should proceed to our next agenda.

REBELLION
Bring in those girls!

THE END

********************************************************************
Editor's note:
Moments following the end of this conversation, STRUCTURE willingly surrendered himself to a straight jacket to protect himself from constantly trying to stop the 'rough' activities that followed. PASSION on the other hand surprised even REBELLION with his true nature, with IMITATION being the lesser.
