    One day, I started writing, not knowing that I had chained myself for life to a noble but merciless master. When God hands you a gift, he also hands you a whip; and the whip is intended solely for self-flagellation...I'm here alone in my dark madness, all by myself with my deck of cards --- and, of course, the whip God gave me."

    Awesome stuff! I think it would work a lot better if you could pick your top 3. I think that average would bring a more accurate result. Anyone else?
