Phone rings. I pick it up. "Hello?" "Hi. How are you?" replies the voice on the other end. "Good." I reply automatically.
Oh Opuss, little kitty, How you've grown up. How's it going, what's hanging, so, what's been up. You've found some new friends, while I've been away, it's great to see they've got more time to play.
Always be yourself... Unless you can be Batman. Then always be Batman..
My robotic arm is equipped with a drill, a camera, spectrometer, and a scoop… most of them are for science. The scoop is for ice-cream..
Nothing tastes as good as doing a science feels… (except for Reese's Pieces).
A court on Friday sentenced Anders Behring Breivik, the Norwegian extremist who admitted killing 77 people, to at least 21 years in prison after ruling that he was sane when he carried out his...
I know 2.5 billion seems like a lot, but can you really put a price on learning that rocks on other planets are made of rock?.
2.5 billion dollars and all I've got is an AM radio and a Kindle full of Dean Koontz (whoever that is.) And people wonder why I'm depressed..
You know what, douchebags in t-shirts. I would LOVE to "Keep Calm and Carry On" but I am on f--king Mars, 100,000,000 miles from home and never coming back..
Elton John was wrong, Mars is a GREAT PLACE to raise a kid… so long as your kid doesn't require oxygen. Or love… or hope..
Sometimes Mars appears to be moving backward in the sky, while actually moving forward… this is called "being a tricky asshole.".
Mars is a lot like Arizona… red, desolate, everyone's obsessed w/ trying to find aliens. Also, I regret visiting both.”.
If "2001: A Space Odyssey" has any kind of moral, it's that you probably shouldn't piss off a computer that can kill you. And I just nuclear that rock over there into oblivion. GOT THE PICTURE?.
Been parked in the same place for a week. If this was Detroit, I'd be nothing but a burnt-out shell by now. GO ECONOMIC RECOVERY!.
Speaking of desolate lifeless wastelands, who's still using Google+?.
Odds are if I do find life on Mars, you meat-bags are just gonna put it on YouTube in a Wookie costume. And I'm cool with that..
Just looked at a rock and it was all "What you lookin at?" LOL so I nuclear-lasered it with my eyes and now the others know whos in charge..
I'm going to go take a nap even tho all the science is super important... LOL JK, I'M JUST SIFTING DIRT LIKE A BEACH HOBO.
What they don't show you in that parachute photo is me inside the capsule quietly pissing myself in sheer terror..
Great... 100,000,000 miles and I'm stuck in a bloody crater. Awesome..
The following posts are based on the Mars Rover 'Curiosity' which touched down on Mars earlier this month. P.S. I did not make these up. I just found them funny so I am reposting them.
Why do some people stick a '#' at the end their opuss and follow it with a word that is completely unrelated to their piece of writing ?!?. #likethis #notepic #chocolatebananas.
Just a big, screwed up, heartless, popularity contest..
Why should, when there's sun 'n sea. I be lying here, under a colourless grey sheet. Staring up at flies on the ceiling. Unmoving, unseeing. While all around the ocean is seething.
Or Carpe Diem: Seize the day. (Latin).
Stretched out on a towel on the beach in the shade, reading all the wonderful stories/poems/quotes on Opuss. You guys are genuinely amazing..
Because deep down, we all love to be baffled..
IF you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and...
The fierce motivation that drives us on. A pride in another when all is gone. The knowledge that there is always room to improve. That feeling you get when you've something to prove.
The irony of fate ~ Unknown Just a nice phrase. Thought it would be nice to share it..
Whether you're stretched out on a towel on a beach in the Med, or lying curled up in your room with a good book, summer is the best time to do what you love..

A time to post oppusses lying on your front lawn..
A time that is happy but passes all too fast..
A time to stuff yourself with watermellon..
A time to sleep in..
A time to make plans and then forget them.
What words cannot describe, What pictures cannot capture, What poems cannot express, What paves the way to the soul. Music..

Lets be honest. When you see a photo on Facebook of a girl with cancer and it says "like this if you think she's beautiful" and you like it, you aren't liking it because you think she's beautiful.
Opuss is a place of writing. Do not copy off Twitter or "megalikes.com" or other such meaningless sources. And if you do, at least quote it. We don't wanna fill Opuss up with plagiarism.
Can't a boy and a girl just be friends. Yes, they are of different sexes... Your point?.
(and gals), tell me, who are you rooting for in the Euros?.
Hilarious TV show on BBC iPlayer or Fridays at 10pm. Highly recommended but also abit, erm... (not to sound like your mom but...) kinda inappropriate.
Anything that drags me away from the things I love (ketchup painting, shower singing, guitaring, and of course Opuss) must be bad.
Screw them..
You could be writing the most boring text ever, but the moment someone tries to look over your shoulder, it suddenly becomes top secret..
No matter what they tell you, you only live once. One life. Don't waste it..
Because the thought of not having them with you, is to terrible to comprehend.
Do what you believe is great work. ~ Steve Jobs.
Watch his speech at Stanford Uni on YouTube and if you have the time, read his biography by Walter Isaacson. It's a fantastic read about an incredible man..

I'm thirteen. And I still love drawing smiley faces on my pasta with ketchup. Some things never get old..
Watch it. No arguments..
Even missing break is fun when you're with friends..
There's that tune at the back of you're mind and you just CAN'T REMEMBER WHERE IT'S FROM. I know I do :/.
We've gotta live life to its fullest- even if it ain't easy..
The feeling - the fantastic feeling - you get when you realise you've cracked it..

Hi sis :).
What better motivators?.
Whether physical or emotional, pain is always a reminder that something isn't going quite right..
How can you say sorry when you know as well as I that nothing can console me?.
Forty two. Duh..
...the hardest thing in the world, because the easiest is temptation..
Sometimes the hardest thing to do is just to admit you were wrong. Not because you're stubborn. Because you genuinely don't get what your mistake was..
Life ain't easy. Most of us should have realised that by now. But life has its fair share of nice bits too. It's good to remember that when the going gets tough.

Why cry when you can laugh?.
All yours @kiku ;).
The point of Valentine's Day isn't to be single, eat to much cheap chocolate, or to stay in all day by yourself. It's to have someone special to share it with <3.
We do it cuz only Ducky understands our true talent :).
You always hear about people being 'so disappointed' that a place or thing they've wanted for ages didn't turn out to be as amazing as they thought it would.
Congrats on knocking me down a notch .
Hey @FallingIntoTheRain. Welcome to the community for creative cats .
Books are like magic. A good book allows you to escape into the fantasy reality it provides. Magic..
Flipping a coin is always the best way to make decisions. Not because it makes the decision for you, but because you realise what you really want just as it's about to come down..
Hi @Bam9000. When did you join the community. You've got some awesome stuff up there!.
