Geez, has it really been over two years since I officially joined this cesspool - and an extra half year of lurking before that?
Sometimes, the speed of time is unfathomable.
Being an active regular user in the past year, I've seen a lot of people/alters come and go in 2006 - more coming than going - some surprisingly, some not so much - and yet, throughout the changes that last year brought, Uber remains, more or less, the same environment that drew me here so long ago.
The nature of Ubersite as being a "serious writer's forum."
BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
*wipes tear*
Truth be told, that IS what keeps me here - despite the quick grins and outrageous comments that the circle jerkery, camwhorage, photoshop, and Ubercentric posts may bring (and yes, I admit full guilt to all of the above on several occasions), it is the high quality writers that have encouraged me to retain my active presence. You know who they are. The authors that churn out stories on all ends of the spectrum, from hilarious pseudo-fiction to sobering recaps of influential personal life stories. The writers that persevere to engage their audience with the wit and intelligence of the written word, no matter what the topic.
Rather than accidentally offend anyone who I would invariably leave off of this "best of Uber" list by accident, I will just offer a blanket THANK YOU to all of you who work hard at your writing. You know who you are, and I applaud your efforts.
That being said, in light of my belated two year Uberversary, I thought I'd recap some of my favorite "serious" contributions from 2006...everyone more or less knows me around here as the official Uber musician, and for a change of pace, I thought that I would resucitate some of my non-music work for a little attention, even if for no other reason than to show that yes, I can and do write stories from time to time...I hope to do more of it during 2007.

Well Spank My Ass and Call Me George (NSFW) - http://www.ubersite.com/m/86821
~ This short poem, written for the "15 Minute Challenge" exhibition contest, is one of my favorite written pieces. Had a lot of fun writing it, especially within the time constraints. Details the REAL cause behind the "War on Terror."
Maculation - http://www.ubersite.com/m/85303
~ Freeform poetry written for the FUPA contest. Based on a scenario from college.
The Antagonist - http://www.ubersite.com/m/83142
A somewhat bizarre fictional story based on a personal dream.
IGKTW (I'm Gonna Kill That Woman) serial story
- Part 1: Verisimilitude - http://www.ubersite.com/m/87068
- Part 2: Remittance - http://www.ubersite.com/m/87506
- Part 3: Justice - http://www.ubersite.com/m/87803
- Part 4: Antipathy - http://www.ubersite.com/m/88134
~ Written for the IGKTW contest, these series is the second non-Uberized serial story that I've written (the first being Antidote Bear, which was posted in 2005). Based on a blend of personal life events, fictional elaboration, and with blues rock music intertwined into the story, this one was a real challenge to keep the flow going throughout all four parts.
The Panda - http://www.ubersite.com/m/81967
~ I tackled trochaic octameter in this poetic variation on Poe's "The Raven." Written for MandaPanda after losing a bet to her.
The Banshee to Dublintown Came - http://www.ubersite.com/m/84607
~ Also written for the ShamRock Open. For those that haven't read it, I won't spoil the surprise of revealing the banshee's identity.
You'll Never Get Me Pot O' Gold - http://www.ubersite.com/m/85027
~ Quasi-serious fictional short story written for the Shamrock Open.
They're Magically Delicious - http://www.ubersite.com/m/84370
~ Written for the ShamRock Open contest, this story details Fat Tony's role in the origin of Lucky Charms cereal...
A Zombie Family Christmas - http://www.ubersite.com/m/96810
~ Exhibition poetry for Ubermas 06. If only they had done THIS on the Brady Bunch holiday special...
The Mensa of Menses - An Interactive Assessment (NSFW) - http://www.ubersite.com/m/96679
~ Off-color fictional quiz written strictly for humor value. I had hoped that this would make B@W, but alas, it still hasn't...
An Ode to Shlongy and Nitty - http://www.ubersite.com/m/85608
~ Written during the FUPA drama in order to shed a humorous light on the whole mess. I still laugh every time I see this post.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And, for those of you that came here looking for my music...it's all catalogued under the following label. You decide what you like best, since it's impossible for me to pick my favorites, and after all, aesthetic taste is purely subjective.

(OH WHO AM I KIDDING, THE "ORGASMATRON" SONG THAT I WROTE WAS MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE!!! http://www.ubersite.com/m/90768)
For lack of a better way to bid this Uberversary post adieu, enjoy a fresh camwhore...

Nice beard. No, I pay the Puerto Rican once every two weeks to shave me. In the mean time I either let it grow or do it myself.

It's pronounced "moose-lim".
================================
Yes, that's right. I worship moose. Because I sure as HECK don't worship Allah, or whatever it is that Muslims subscribe to.
