I haven't done these in a while, but since Abby's doing it, so am I...

1. Dream big :: Hey, you never know...
2. Competition :: Beauty
3. Torn :: Natalie Imbruglia
4. Modeling :: Agency
5. Coaster :: on the table please
6. Slut :: Penis Breath
7. Spread :: Legs
8. Amanda :: was so lazy
9. Romance :: Rose petals
10. Paradise :: Lost

You know, I see a story in all this... about a man...

He dreamed big and won the state lottery and was set for life. (That's our state lottery's slogan that first came to mind up there. No, I don't play.) And there was this girl (there always is), and she had won a beauty competition. They met at a bar where Natalie Imbruglia's Torn was playing and got married. She quit the modeling agency and let him take care of her. The money started to dwindle. He started nagging her about the little things, like using a coaster on the table. They started arguing more, she took a lover on the side, and her husband found out. He called her a slut, she called him a penis breath (a jab at his bisexuality which she never could get used to). He said she was lazy, just like his first wife, Amanda. She cried that it never would have gotten so bad if the romance hadn't gone out of their marriage; he used to spread rose petals on the bed when they made love! He comforted her, but both realized their paradise had been lost forever...

Ooo... tragic... *sniff*
