Short Story...?

So, I've been thinking of writing a short story these days...
I want to write according to a solid idea, but I can't seem to find the inspiration for that idea.
x'D It's a hopeless situation, I just need something special! ㅋㅋㅋ

*lalalala*

I actually posted on FB for random genres, situations, professions or objects, but the best (and only thing) I got was a scifi plot about an alien landing in Korea on a quest to find out what makes them tick...
I don't really understand the quest, but scifi isn't really my genre either. I don't know what to write about it, without bringing forth all types of cliches...

*sigh*

Broken pencils are pointless...

Here's a list of some very funny lame jokes I found on the internet...:

- I changed my iPod's name to Titanic. It's syncing now.

- When chemists die, they barium.

- Jokes about German sausage are the wurst.

- I know a guy who's addicted to brake fluid. He says he can stop any time.

- I stayed up all night to see where the sun went. Then it dawned on me.

- This girl said she recognized me from the vegetarian club, but I'd never met herbivore.

- I'm reading a book about anti-gravity. I just can't put it down.

- I did a theatrical performance about puns. It was a play on words.

- They wrote to me I had type-A blood, but it was a Type-O.

- We’re going on a class trip to the Coca-Cola factory. I hope there's no pop quiz.

- Did you hear about the cross-eyed teacher who lost her job because she couldn't control her pupils?

- I tried to catch some fog, but I mist.

- What do you call a dinosaur with an extensive vocabulary? A thesaurus.

- I used to be a banker, but then I lost interest.

- All the toilets in New York’s police stations have been stolen. The police have nothing to go on.

- I got a job at a bakery because I kneaded dough.

- Haunted French pancakes give me the crêpes.

- A cartoonist was found dead in his home. Details are sketchy.

- The earthquake in Washington obviously was the Government's fault.

- Be kind to your dentist. He has fillings, too.

Sorry for your good sense of humor, I may have ruined it with this... x'D

Yummy smells~

*Random post ahead, be warned* ;)

For some reason I got to thinking about smells...
There are some smells that I always love to smell and that make me happy in one sense or another.
Here are some of the smells I absolutely love:

♥- Vanilla sugar: My mum uses this every Friday for the pancakes and I can't help smiling when I pick up and smell the paper packets the sugar comes from. =] I have a weak for that smell.

♥- Tea or Perfume stores: Simply heaven, especially when it's cold outside or raining. To enter a store with a flowery or sweet scent makes me feel so happy. =3

♥- Rain on dry earth scent: There's even a noun for that scent; Petrichor. I find it so nice that when on hot summer days it ends with rain, thunder and lightning. Then when that too has passed, to fall asleep with that lovely smell coming from my opened windows. Hmmm ^^

♥- Rose syrup in milk: The scent reminds me of my Chinese grandma. I have no idea why, she may have made the beverage for me a lot when I was little, or she may have worn a perfume with that scent, I can't remember. It's just the scent that brings me happy memories I can't remember x'D If that even makes sense.

♥- Kretek cigarettes: I don't smoke and I would never do that either, but the smell of these Indonesian cigarettes I do love a lot. My grandpa has had a time he liked to smoke these and my dad has also tried these. These cigarettes have herbs in them; clove, which makes them smell good =) However they're still cigarettes, so no good for the lungs and all xP

♥- Various foods. This is a given, but there are some foods I love to smell in particular; my mum's split pea soup, baked leek dish and macaroni. ^^ And BAKING!! =D Especially cookies and cake, or sweet buns from the bakery. x'D I love to smell food~
