Glomp? Is that negative?

No, it's the online equivalent of hug-tackling someone.

INT. SCENE - APRIL’S BEDROOM - AFTERNOON
Mrs. Caulfield gently shakes April awake.
MRS. CAULFIELD
April?
APRIL
I’m fine, mother.
MRS. CAULFIELD
Come down and have some cake.
APRIL
I’m not hungry.
MRS. CAULFIELD
April…
APRIL
Mother…
SPEAKER (V.O.)
Oh, yes, very difficult indeed. Go have some cake, April.
APRIL
I’m not hungry! Leave me alone.
Mrs. Caulfield sighs and leaves.
INT. SCENE - THE AUDITORIUM
The speaker pauses in his story to take a gulp of water from a styrofoam cup.
SPEAKER
Yes, well, funny how the slightest little decisions effect us. Effect them. You see, April’s life changed forever when she refused to leave her room- and, more importantly, refused to stay awake.
INT. SCENE - A LIBRARY - NOON
Titus is sprawled on the floor. April’s form flickers suddenly in front of a window. A moment later she becomes solid once more.
TITUS
Back so soon?
APRIL
Eh.
April drops into an armchair.
APRIL
So this is…?
TITUS
(waving his arms above his head)
The library of dreams.
APRIL
Hm. Not as impressive as I would’ve imagined.
TITUS
Dream-writing is a notoriously dull career. Dream-storing even more so.
ApRIL
So I see.
TITUS
Still, this place is important. Without it-
APRIL
(interrupting)
I know, I know, there wouldn’t be any dreams. Doesn’t mean it’s not boring. Can’t we go somewhere else?
TITUS
You tell me.
April glares at Titus for a moment, then closes her eyes. She screws up her face in concentration.
The scene skews abruptly to the left.
EXT. SCENE - A PARK - CONTINUOUS
April and Titus appear in a rush of wind. April glances around smugly.
APRIL
Ah, much better.
TITUS
I sense food.
APRIL
Hot dog stand, nine o’clock.
TITUS
Right you are.
Titus makes a beeline for a brightly coloured hot-dog stand.
Suddenly a gloved and disembodied hand reaches out and snatches April’s shoulder.
APRIL
AH!
The hand drags April backwards a few steps, then both the hand and April vanish in a flash of light.
INT. SCENE - A DARK ROOM - CONTINUOUS
The only light is a dim candle. April appears suddenly with another flash of light and topples to the ground.
April groans loudly. We hear vicious laughter off-screen.
APRIL
Judging from the general atmosphere of this place, I’m guessing you’re a nightmare.
(pause)
Judging from the candle I’m going to assume you’re a denizen of the night. And if the laughter’s anything to go by you’re not a ghoul, spectre, vampire, or zombie.
(pause)
You have a human hand, so you can’t be a bogey man, dragon, or other grotesque monster… thing.
(pause)
You want to give me another hint?
There is another flash of light, briefly illuminating a completely bare room with no windows.
APRIL
Oh… You’re no monster. You’re just a garden-variety assassin.
VOICE (O.S.)
Well reasoned, Ms. Caulfield.
APRIL
Please, call me April. And you are…?
VOICE (O.S.)
Serenity.
APRIL
Ah. Cheerful sort of name, Serenity. Show yourself.
Serenity strides into the room.
APRIL
That’s better, isn’t it?
SERENITY
I just kidnapped you.
APRIL
And I’m trying to make polite conversation. Out of curiosity, though, why did you kidnap me?
SERENITY
Why not?
APRIL
Well, ethical reasons mostly. Kidnapping is largely frowned upon in civilized areas. But are you implying that you kidnapped me for the heck of it?
SERENITY
Perhaps.
APRIL
You lie!
SERENITY
You’re taking this remarkably well.
APRIL
I try to just let things slide, y’know?
SERENITY
I kidnapped you in order to sacrifice you to Him.
APRIL
Ah… That could be a problem.
Serenity folds her arms.
SERENITY
Oh?
APRIL
Like any halfway sane person, I’m terrified of Him.
SERENITY
I don’t see the issue.
APRIL
Naturally I do not wish to be sacrificed. I especially don’t want to be sacrificed to Him.
SERENITY
Understandable.
APRIL
Glad you see my side of things.
April pushes herself into a sitting position.
SERENITY
You don’t exactly have a choice in the matter.
APRIL
Drat.

My friend invited me to go to a fair with her and to see a Jonas Brothers concert with her. I decided to go... I would say the Jonas Brothers sounded horrible, but I COULDN'T hear them!!!! The girls were screaming so loud I had to cover my ears most of the time!!!!! :( The are so pathetic! They probably only like them because they THINK the Jo Bros are cute, but I DON"T think so. !!!!!
(August 3, 2009 - 9:28 pm)
They think the Jonas Brothers "cute"? I have to agree with you, they *are not* "cute". My friend (a boy), was singing a song by them. well, i'm guessing it was by them because it was whiny singing and the lyrics were weird. he told me that the song was called "paranoid" or something. If Mason becomes a famous singer, then I think he's going to be like John "Cougar" Meloncamp. he wears weird outfits and thinks he's all cool. I've been to a concert and I saw John "Cougar" Meloncamp. But i wasm't there to see him. i was there to see bob dylan. i'm going to a other concert and John "cougar" Meloncamp is performing. But I'm not going to see him, either. i'm going to see Neil Young. i also want to see Tom Waits, but that might be a little to hard.

The Jonas Brothers AREN'T CUTE. If I had to describe them in one word, it would probably be weird, and if two plain weird, and if three plain old weird, and- well you get the idea. I mean it looks like they wear GIRL'S shoes! One of them wore a red leather HIGH HEELED boot! Merlin's Beard! When will the weirdness end?!
(August 18, 2009 - 9:37 am)
Yeah, it's not eggsactly the topic of this link.
(August 13, 2009 - 7:37 pm)
Yes, it's in the wrong thread, but what is it? I'm enthralled!! Ok, well, no, but I have been sitting here for a while trying to think of a better word, and none come to mind. What I mean to say is... no still nothing better. Uh... you've captured my interest. Is it a movie? Book? Play? What??? I'm dying here!!!!!!!!
