strawberryswinger Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 LAST UPDATE: 11/3 (Rules) So, i've come up with an idea for a contest. You have to write a text as short as possible, using as many exact CP song titles as you can. Here is my entry, you'll easily understand what do you have to do. THE HARDEST PART of that RAINY DAY was when i got LOST IN MY PLACE, in AMSTERDAM. I didn't know where the kitchen was! I thought "DON'T PANIC" as i was trying to find it. Such a stupid TROUBLE. Then i recieved some POSTCARDS FROM FAR AWAY, i took them with my right hand, ONLY SUPERSTITION. One of them had A MESSAGE written on it. It was from my friend MOSES, who was in the ladder of a VIOLET HILL because of THE GOLDRUSH. He just said 'you're the ONE I LOVE', and a SHIVER ran trough my spine as i was reading. Then, clouds bursted to show DAYLIGHT and God put a smile upon my face. It was such a perfect day! So, exact 16 song titles. Do you understand it now?:D Hope you think it's a good idea:) RULES - RULES - RULES - Maximum of 250 words. - Only COLDPLAY songtitles apply. - Only EXACT songtitles apply (e.g. god put a smile upon my face won't apply) - Must include, at least, one title from Parachutes, one from AROBTTH, one from X&Y, one from Viva la Vida and one from any EP or B-Side. - Deadline: April 1st - If you've already posted your entry, post it again now and be sure it's ok with the rules! - MUST be funny :laugh3: - I will decide the finalists, people will decide the winner (with a poll) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudy_o Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 My friend and I were walking down the VIOLET HILL to CEMETERIES IN LONDON. Suddenly, I heard A WHISPER from my back. It was really scary. I try to TALK to my friend about my feelings, but I was standing still like an IDIOT. I turned and saw WHITE SHADOWS coming to me. One of the shadows whispered “What are you doing IN MY PLACE, huh??? NOW MY FEET WON'T TOUCH THE GROUND... Hahahahaha” I screamed, “A GHOST!” My legs start to SHIVER and we ran at the HIGH SPEED, that is about 42 kilometers per hour. We bumped up to a laboratory, and we met THE SCIENTIST. We asked him about the shadows and he told us that they are DEATH AND ALL HIS FRIENDS. He gave us an unknown potion in a YELLOW tiny bottle. “WHAT IF we throw this potion to the shadows?” “They can SWALLOW-ED IN THE SEA” "Really" "YES" “Oh, good. Thanks” “You’re welcome. SEE YOU SOON” We went back to the cemeteries, and met the shadows again. We threw the potion but nothing happened. Unfortunately, they became bigger and shouted “WE NEVER CHANGE!” We ran back to the laboratory at the SPEED OF SOUND and survived. That was THE HARDEST PART in my life. 22 titles :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iPsy Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Me and my girlfriend went to see the CEMETERIES IN LONDON. We went to see her mum, I remember her mum, she had beautiful GREEN EYES. I am creeped out by cemeteries, always have, it's like DEATH AND ALL HIS FRIENDS. My girlfriend starting crying, I told her that I will try to FIX YOU. She then said she heard A WHISPER. And then said "WHAT IF She is still alive" I laughed, said YES sarcastically and said "Maybe she is A GHOST" She hit me and started writing a note. "How do you spell Lunar?" she said. "L-H-U-N-A LHUNA" I said, " Don't be stupid", she said. She didn't TALK for about 42 minutes as she wrote, I waited impatiently before she showed me. "Sorry, I got LOST in my own imagination, you can read it now". "GOD PUT A SMILE UPON YOUR FACE, You are the ONE I LOVE , Everytime I come here it makes me SHIVER but I love you and will always be there for you. Me, Simon and Dad are doing fine, WE NEVER CHANGE. The dogs causing TROUBLE as well, she misses you. From your loving daughter, Lucy. P.S- VIVA LA VIDA' "That was beautiful" I said "Now come back IN MY PLACE" "Your grammer is terrible!" I laughed and said "Come on, let's get a GLASS OF WATER. We walked for hours, we never did stop at my house, we went past VIOLET HILL and saw a sign for AMSTERDAM, We laughed and considered going that way! It was almost DAYLIGHT when we finally returned home. The next day was awesome. The CLOCKS went back an hour so we got an extra hour! We made PARACHUTES and I received POSTCARDS FROM FAR AWAY from my relatives, it was my bithday. My grandad sent a nice one, he is THE SCIENTIST in the family, he developed something called a STRAWBERRY SWING which is a swing that when you sit on it, it makes strawberrys! The day turned worse though. I was driving down PROSPEKT'S MARCH street when I crashed into a car, I got A RUSH OF BLOOD TO THE HEAD, I has missed the WARNING SIGN'S, This was definetely THE HARDEST PART of the day, although I am fine now. It was a RAINY DAY and the day flew like the SPEED OF SOUND. 34!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pseudonym Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I've done this so many times before I just really don't feel like doing it again. I've gotten 20-30 before, maybe I'll give it another shot later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illuvcoldplay Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 It sounds like a great idea but we need to have some rules like how many words likes it can be with you getting in as many songs as possible.. If there is no limit then the exercise will be pointless......... If its too long then people will get bored of reading. we can for example make it no more than 3 paragraphs with about 5-8 lines per paragraph... That should be enough to make an exciting short story Sorry but as a teacher I'm all about structure and ground rounds when it comes to writing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bello-lo Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 It was a RAINY DAY, I felt A RUSH OF BLOOD TO THE HEAD as I lay, I started to SHIVER, LOST in thought, surely EVERYTHINGS NOT LOST, but YES it was, for MURDER had occured, they'd killed us 2 LOVERS IN JAPAN, not in AMSTERDAM, but here right IN MY PLACE. I should have seen THE WARNING SIGN, THE WORLD TURNED as the 42 bullets hit us. I thought DEATH WOULD NEVER CONQUER but it has. DEATH AND ALL HIS FRIENDS has taken my love and I and placed us in THE CEMETRIES OF LONDON. those GREEN EYES of her will never TALK again. NOW MY FEET WONT TOUCH THE GROUND, TIL KINGDOM COME we are where GOD PUT SMILE UPON YOUR FACE and mine . I'm sure I could think of more when I'm not so tired Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earth to raven Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 THE HARDEDST PART of THE GOLDRUSH was when THE SCIENTIST and THE ESCAPIST went to mexico to tell SONGBIRDS to VIVA LA VIDA on VIOLET HILL, UNDER THE TRACKS TILL KINGDOM COME. But, THE THINGS I DONT UNDERSTAND is how THE WORLD TURNED UPSIDE DOWN when the WHITE SHADOWS made SPARKS at the SPEED OF SOUND and why SPIES decided to make YOUR WORLD TURN UPSIDE DOWN. Then, BIGGER STRONGER ANIMALS traveled at 2000 MILES an hour for 42 hours. After that, LHUNA and MOSES got married on a STRAWBERRY SWING IN MY PLACE on a RAINY DAY!!! I had my maid with GREEN EYES POUR ME a YELLOW GLASS OF WATER and she got LOST in her TWISTED LOGIC and had me SWALLOWED IN THE SEA, but YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE! 1.36 days later, i came back and let her know that EVERYTHINGS NOT LOST and that i would give her a WARNING SIGN when her MURDER was soon going to be a TROUBLE. But when she asked "WHAT IF WHATS GOING ON makes the SOLID GROUND SHIVER?", i said "SEE YOU SOON, i must find THE ONE I LOVE. WHERE IS MY BOY?!" After that, I RAN AWAY at HIGH SPEED. Then, she was gaining on me at the SPEED OF SOUND and screamed "DONT PANIC, I can FIX YOU!! The CLOCKS tick, but WE NEVER CHANGE! HELP IS AROUND THE CORNER FOR YOU! GOD PUT A SMILE UPON YOUR FACE and IN THE SUN, there is PROOF of WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS NOW!!" Then i stopped because SUCH A RUSH is tiring. nest thing we knew, we were in the PROSPEKT'S MARCH in POPPYFIELDS. THE END....57:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racrow Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I was walking at high speed in Amsterdam, but I didn't feel in my place as it was a rainy day and i missed the green eyes of the one I love. So I was feeling like a complete idiot and he needed proof that the text was harmless, but this was the hardest part as he believed it was a warning sign that we are in trouble. I realised I was now lost and the street signs where one of the many things I don't understand, I stopped to talk to a couple, Moses and Marianne , who were brothers and sisters, and they gave me directions to violet hill, its was on route 42. I stopped for a glass or water to clear my head, the what if-s floating through my head, until I decided that yes I was not easy to please so I ran away to the cemeteries of London to start at square one, after leaving a message to the scientist who used to be my lover in Japan, but now we only sent postcards from far away because the sparks had been swallowed in the sea, as I had met my ladder to the sun All these events really change how you see the world, because I now know everything’s not lost when you have Chris Martin and Coldplay. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racrow Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 damn i've just re-read the rules i didnt realise it had to be funny :S oh well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImLovingGuyBerryman Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 sorry, I know this isnt funny, but it's the best I could think of: I RAN AWAY last night...I was in TROUBLE. It was dark with not a hint of DAYLIGHT. I missed A MESSAGE: the WARNING SIGN at the CEMETERIES OF LONDON on the VIOLET HILL. I ran through the entrance, then I was tired and needed a GLASS OF WATER so I stopped. Only then did I realize I was LOST! THE HARDEST PART would be finding a way back home. Suddenly I had TWISTED LOGIC: WHAT IF I should bump into A GHOST, or DEATH AND ALL HIS FRIENDS? These are THINGS I DON'T UNDERSTAND! "Oh well, DON'T PANIC. It's ONLY SUPERSTITION and will probably be HARMLESS!" I said to myself, yet the thought of if it still gave me a SHIVER. Then I heard A WHISPER, so YES, I was still scared, and it gave me SUCH A RUSH, A RUSH OF BLOOD TO THE HEAD! I sprinted at a HIGH SPEED TIL KINGDOM COME...well actually only for 42 minutes. Then the weight of GRAVITY made me tired again so I stopped and looked up at the moon, la LHUNA, a SLEEPING SUN. It's light cast WHITE SHADOWS all over the ground. As I looked at these, I noticed the graves of my BROTHERS AND SISTERS. I wished that they had had the chance to grow BIGGER STRONGER. I started to TALK to them: "If I don't leave, I'll SEE YOU SOON." I could hear their answer: "EVERYTHING'S NOT LOST, DEATH WILL NEVER CONQUER! VIVA LA VIDA!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bello-lo Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Ok extended it There's a saying LIFE IS FOR LIVING and boy did we live. Her name was Violet, VIOLET HILL she'd make my heart beat at the SPEED OF SOUND, inseprable we were, she THE SCIENTIST and I MOSES. Until one RAINY DAY, I looked at my watch, it was 1.36 when THE WHITE SHADOWS stormed in, DON'T PANIC I thought to myself. Too late, I felt A RUSH OF BLOOD TO THE HEAD, SUCH A RUSH, I started to SHIVER, LOST in thought, surely EVERYTHINGS NOT LOST, but YES it was, for MURDER had occured, them blasted SPIES had killed us 2 LOVERS IN JAPAN, The ONE I LOVE and I, not in AMSTERDAM, but here right IN MY PLACE. I should have seen THE WARNING SIGN, people thought we were TROUBLE. THE WORLD TURNED as the 42 bullets hit us, shot down like ANIMALS. I thought DEATH WOULD NEVER CONQUER but it has. DEATH AND ALL HIS FRIENDS has taken my love and I and placed us in THE CEMETRIES OF LONDON. those GREEN EYES of hers will never TALK again nor see DAYLIGHT. THESE THINGS I DON'T UNDERSTAND NOW MY FEET WONT TOUCH THE GROUND, TIL KINGDOM COME we are where GOD PUT SMILE UPON YOUR FACE and mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
