  3. what would you do with $640 million dollars!

    1. Put a huge chunk of it into my first home buyers account (I don't feel ready to leave the nest yet)

    2. Put another huge chunk (probably about 50-75%) into a long term savings account.

    3. Pay off family debts and give some away if anyone asks (I don't want to become a sugar mother though, so no freebies after the first handout unless there is a very compelling reason)

    4. buy the shit I've always wanted but never been able to have, more cloths, new bed, uber computer, huge ass aquarium for darling, fancy schmancy paper to use in uni (don't laugh, that shit's expensive!) and maybe invest some more into art and collectables if anything catches my eye.

    5. Go on holiday. Alone.

    I am the immortal jelly fish. I don't have a partner, and due to the immense ocean I live in I'm unlikely to find one any time soon. It doesn't matter much though, I just embrace my youth and have fun while I can. No matter how old I'll become I doubt I'll ever grow up, and that's the joy of it. To quote a friend, you're never too old to have a happy childhood.

    I'm sorry about reviving an old thread but I have to vent. I hate it when people use the word "sex" as a noun. I've seen it a lot in some of the older fandoms like sherlock holmes, more specifically the stories that deal with an older, conservative and refined character or society. I get where they are coming from, its difficult to find a word that doesn't sound silly and yet it does sound like something a refined and sophisticated person would say, but still, "sex"? It is clearly a verb, not a noun. Using it as a noun just doesn't sound right. Just have a read,

    "he pulled his pants away, revealing his sex, which was rigid and moist"

    It doesn't sound right does it? At least it doesn't sound right to me. I mean, if your character is a very uptight and sophisticated person then why not just call it a penis, or erection or what ever common name applies. If I was an uptight socialite I would call it by a "soft" nickname when in public (manhood, for instance) and when in private I would just call it by it's name.

    Just my personal opinion, but I doubt I'm the only one.
