My Big Breakup by sabine101 (Scrubs): You never wake up saying, "today, my world will be rocked." Or, if you do, then you just skip in to work all juiced up with world-rocking anticipation and then slip on some floor wax and go skating down the hall on your chest while the janitor curses at you for streaking the linoleum. In other words, a day like any other.
So. Like. by lalejandra (My So-Called Life): "So? Like -- like what already, Graff?" he said impatiently, and ignored the hurt look on her face. "Like, you've been talking to me for five minutes, and all you've been like is -- whatever."
Trousers by kadrin (Blackadder): There were many sentences, phrases, clauses, and indeed words that Lord Edmund Blackadder had decided he did not want in any reflection of his life, and "Lord Edmund Blackadder was concerned about the state of his tights" was high up the list.
A Very Manny Christmas by 2am_optimism (Black Books): "I don't know, it was that horrible I don't remember. I've blotted it out of my mind from the horror - that's how hard my life was."
From Mathematics Further Off by fox1013 (Madeleine LEngle novels): Charles Wallace, of course, has it the worst; Meg cannot find a single other girl to come over and play with her dollhouse, never mind someone who could understand why placing things into patterns and pairs is so interesting (even though it is, of course; when things are in sets then there are all sorts of things you can organize), and she realizes that she is sub-par compared to any of them.
