oh god.i hate them. i can't work to deadlines. i was very bad at keeping to them back in school. that's why i nearly failed, i suppose. i'll have deadlines breathing down my neck for my whole life, which i can't handle. maybe i'll fail at life.
[Inan]
my head hurts already. It is only 9:30. Where the hell is that bottle of pills. Crap, more work. I guess I'm just not feeling it today. Netflix got in, maybe the order of electric cigarettes will cheer me up. Why not.
[shaun]
Beep. There's more than one meaning to the word and as my heart stops, I realize this. You are watching with cold eyes the flat surface of my life and how it went with you.
[tv]
A dead line lies there limp ... wanting to be exhumed ... wanting to receive CPR that maybe, just maybe it will be a greenly growing line of truth.
[Laure]
I have a deadline in my life. It's coming soon and I'm not ready, nothing's finished, I'm not where I'm supposed to be. I don't know what happens when a deadline isn't met. Before I could cry or manipulate or joke my way throughout. But what about your own deadlines, the ones you make up to determine who you are and what you mean? There is no joking your way out of it. You can cry, but it won't make a difference. You are what you are.
[a.]
as i saw how many people wrote about the frustration, drive and awareness of deadlines something in my heart made me sad because of the many people that don't see time running out in something that really matters. the deadline of your life to figuring out how much god really does love. you.
[me.]
I have to write this really quickly because I have a deadline which is the word at the top. I have write but someone is talking to me. They should stop. Ugh, I missed a block of time there. And another.
[Bayard]
deadline, yes. love it love it love it, wouldn't do anything without it, without knowing there is a date and a time for getting a thing done. deadlines mean anxiety but performance improves with some kinds of anxieties. i love deadlines. glad to have a deadline today. thank you for reading, for being here.
[jen]
I am DEADLINE, one day I will not be able to work on my life any further. Hopefully I will miss this deadline and continue work well past DOID (day of intended death)
[Peace Bunny]

"Well?"
"No more today sir," said Ted, "I'm afraid we'll have to get back to you."
"No more?" replied senator Bob
Umm. What the hell?? /me defiles it

[daz]
It's like a race, really, against yourself and time, but it's really nothing of the sort. Pen taps. The smell of white-out. Torn off pages of lined paper and a now habitual glancing upwards at the clock. Too little time, too little progress.
[Jun]
Wire like a coil of wool,
static, the crackle
of this lipless mouth
in your hand, pale as death.
Nobody home, loveless-disconnected

[Claire Askew]
oh how bloody appropriate! I've got to submit the title of my talk by Friday and I haven't decided on that AND I still have to crunch the data and do teh powerpoint file. 'twas ever thus...
[Andy]
always.... on.....a ..... deadline. One thing or another. Work. School. Home. The Kids. Everything always needs to be done RIGHT NOW.
[Tango]
There it was, the deadline, that dreaded monster from the abyss of maniacal writings and musings, that void, the great emptiness threatening to swallow me hole and spit me out on th other side taunting me "you didn't make it, da da da da"...
[Thorsten Becker]
Deadline,deadlines, .... everything needs to be controlled by deadlines these days. And if you achieve the deadline today they will give you a shorter one tomorrow. Do we need this control and steess in our lives, does it help with a relaxed office. Was it really needed that soon or were you just trying to show you think you are in charge.
[Sara]
i need to draw more lines..
for the (dead) line to become less..
sorry..
i haven't time to write..
[bronto]
imminent failure. possibility of not making it. dead. dead time. dead beat. dead loss. line. boundary. limit. end. reaching the end isn't necessarily bad. deadlines can be beaten.
[Len]
I love the time deadlines make as they go whooshing past is what Douglas Adams said about them. I have always liked working to dealines though. Though the finality of the word is slightly chilling. Its almost like one might drop dead if we dont comply.
[shweta]
useless on top of each other orderless...pointless are there to be ignored in endless time there is no dead line dead line like dead circle
[Vedrana]
again? ok this is gettin a little boring, i shall just continue with the ventilator story then, so yes where was i? Ok now i am just buying time, i dnt feel llike stopping, lik if i stop i might be shot, AH! deadline! see i have to type a hundred words before it goets to red.
[shicara]
it seems so plain like the the ventilator, it would be pleasant to see some waves. Interesting i should think. However it has something, atleast more than just the alphabet 'l'
[shicara]
yesterday, my manager called me and told that you have to finish this task. He also told that deadline is on13th june. IT was terrible day for me. I started working the issue and I am able to indentify the fix after analysis. I am thinking oof the solution and as soon as i got it it confirmed with manager.I will start working on it. Once i implemented it I need to test it manully first and then I ll run quite a few replication regression .
[giriraj]
it seems so plain like the the ventilator, it would be pleasant to see some waves. Interesting i should think. However it has something, atleast more than just the alphabet 'l'
the end.
the final frontier or something simliar.
late up every night.
making you wish you life away.
physically no longer alive. due to this line. this full stop slightly elongated.
and unfortunatly. your life only begins when you are there
(try not to start again)
[ele]
I like the dead line I like to be on time in the last minute a dead line as short as poossible is better than a dead line that arrive in a year or 2 I remeber that I wole up one morning and realize the dead line for the paper will expire in 10 minutes so I wrote toh 1002 worss really fast and won the big prize. Oh dead kine you are my life line my border my inspiration
[Yoel Donchin]
It was the last day to hand in our writing assignments on our life, our autobiographies. My hands shaked and sweat poured from my forehead as the teacher came by. I had left mine at home, a huge mistake indeed.
[Molly Kit]
a line drawn around a prison beyond which prisoners were liable to be shot.
no, really. i cheated and used a dictionary.
scary, huh. i'm lucky. lucky i'm just a student. a student whose lecturers don't get rifles. rifles are bad. rifling is also bad. i think computers can be rifled, and that i have rifled a computer, and it makes me feel bad. i didn't shoot it, though.
[joni]
I'm used to work with deadlines.
yes, deadlines is my sanctuary, or so it called.
but with you, I also have deadline.
as you know how attractive you are,
can we set the deadline on when we are going to bang the room?
cuz only then you will finish the job for the material deadline I know.
[rur]
Shit I'm on a deadline. I'm not sure if I'll have any time to finish this shit. What am I going to do? If all else fails I'm going to wing it. Just B.S. on it. What's a guy suppose to do. The clock is ticking and there isn't anything I'm can do about it.
[Nasri Yusof]
there are a million deadlines but they are only there to create order and improve efficiency otherwise we would have no motivation to get things done. deadlines help us maintain the significance of time because it is only the absence of or limitedness of time that makes us find value.
[sidney]
yes that is tomorrow and we must make the deadline without fail Its great to have dealines as it makes you more active and get the brain going. There are plenty of things that you can achieve by having dealklines lots of fun really
[Alan]
Deadline is tempting for dead time. It fuels your veins like acid and little blue pills. It doesn't mean anything because its not alive, its external and self-imposed. It doesn't mean anything except to ourselves. It gives our lives meaning. Deadlines are the new Messiah.
[Lin]
oh my god. my life is ruled by deadlines. no matter when they are, how achievable or unachievable they are, I must wait until the absolute last minute to do what I need to do. there is some perverse pleasure in procrastination. that feeling of naughtiness of being in control by being out of control.
[jo]
i hate deadlines. sometimes I'm terrible with them and it makes me wan to hurt people in a physical and occasionally emotional way when they are late with MY deadlines. I used to think a dead line was when everyone in a line for the teller at the bank got shot
[Kyle]
first time, diffcult to come up with something. I hate deadlines. they suck i have too many i need a break, always working, too much school. where did all the fun go? dunno.
[adem]
Oh deadlines. Like the timing winding down to my final in oh i don't know less than 12 hours? yah. or newspaper deadlines--those were interesting. Actually, i don't like deadlines. They're kinda on line with time. Time doesn't exist. Clocks do.
[Can you see what I see?]
I hate fuckin deadlines. Always deadlines in life. Even this fuckin thing here is a deadline. I wish I could wake one moring so full of money and booze that I could fuckin say FUCK YOU DEADLINES FUCK YOU and for once actually mean it. So dealiones, yeah, um , well, has it been
[The Grizzman]
I hate this word. It reminds me of high school Newspaper when I would have to spend hours and days working on stories and pages for other people who couldn't get their shit together. It also reminds me of what a raging procrastinator I am and how my grades generally just are sucking...I should learn to embrace this word!
[whitney]
Why do I have these. Oh wait I know why. Because If I didn't have them I probably wouldn't get anything done. In fact, I often make these for myself. So I guess... I know exactly why I have these. Incidentally I am on one now.
[Wakcher]
sigh
again late nights i dislike this much stress levels fuck this give up throw away just do it then get over and done with yeah thats what ill do coffee break leaave myspace fuck this anger sit down tdo 15 minutes of it now ill grab another coffee dinner time check the time itd late like 5am man gotta get up earlyy
[ry]
not a good thing, deadline, think about it, dead and line, I don't want to be dead and I don't really like lines so the combination of the word is really gross to me... plus if you don't meet a deadline it is not good, so they are just stressful, and not good in general.
[Erica Nicholson]
there is a deadline to this. there is a deadline to my life. my day, my life has a deadline because i live in a routine. theres more to say, but i wont today, because this deadline has expired.
[David]
deadlines can be stressful but sometimes I work better with a deadline. In fact, i often leave my assignments to the last minute because I think they will be better if i do them with the deadline in place. Some of the assignments i wrote with a deadline are better then the ones i wrote with lots of time on my hands. That doesn't really make sense to me...
[Oceana Setaysha]
Deadlines remind me of the cells in a prison. With the sharp bite of the whip against my back, and the snarling commands of my overseer. Deadlines fill my heart with dread, every thought of it looming closer, closer, closer like a monster. Fear fills my mind each time I think of them.
[Eclipse]
This is how long you have until it's done. It's not very long, but it's not that short either. You only have until then. Can you do it? I can't...

My brother's friend buys time in his life talking to people he hates. I am one of them; he looks at me earnestly and I look back at him, and he pretends he cares about me but I can see the deadlines blinking through his eyes.
[Janie]
The deadline is coming. We've got three days to wrap up this fucking mess of a project. Our management is so incompetent and so fucking socially inept. Where did they find these people. How is this our political model? How are we living this way? Is this really how you want to treat your most valuable resource
? Your human resources?
[stumblin...]
She looked at the clock on the wall. If she didn't finish the article by the deadline her boss would fire her.
It was difficult to be a young, new writer, especially in New York City but Amanda was determined to make it.
[B]
The deadline was getting closer for her. She would have to turn up the body eventually if she was to gain the approval of her elders. She searched the well high and low, but the fact that the "well" emptied into a river was not much of a help. She waded further into the water, turning over the floating body of one of the many victims and scowled--it would take ages to check every one.
[Niom]
a deadline is interesting because it puts pressure on you, it makes you take chances and throw convention to the wind. It can also make you feel as if you need to work more than necessary, it can take away the natural ebb and flow that is the writing process, without deadlines we are free to truly express our emotions]
[ken hanold]
Hmmm this word reminds me very much of what I am feeling right now. I have 60 seconds to write about this word, and yet it seems so ironic that I was given what this word represents in order to write about it. Capiche?
[chloe louise. bleh.]
Deadline. One minute. sixty seconds. We never have enough time.
What is enough time? How do we know we need more? Maybe we're done when we think we're just beginning...
[Alexis]
Only 60 seconds. I can't wirte anything decent that fast. Sometimes, He has me write something sexy for him. I never feel like I've had enough time to develop it. I'd hate to disappoint Him. He's been so patient, and giving, and kind this last month. Losing him would hurt. Even more than Drew.K
[Kay]
deadline
[Merp]
I hate deadlines. They suck, alot. I think everyone should not be subjected to the evil that is deadlines. If there were no deadlines, the world would be a much better and more relaxed place. Because then people wouldn't rush so much.
That is all.
[sam]
This is a horrible thing; especially for writers. I for one, absolutely cannot write under a deadline, i crumple and usually pull an all nighter and end up with a piece or writing that badly needs editing and could have been much, much better.
[Katie K]
The deadline's coming,
the deadline's getting long as it nears,
the deadline's stopped and Satan's database has crashed,
because so many forgot how to fly,
fly like they did when they were children.
The deadline on the heart monitor,
it used to dance so lively,
and now it's still holding a note,
the fat lady singing.
[4h4b]
i have to write a paper for school and i am not sure what its about but i have a deadline
[robin]
deadlines are both good and bad for me. the stress encourages productivity, but, in the end, it becomes impossible to do ones best work with the deadline looming. It becomes an excuse for copping out on editing and proofreading. Alas... if only one were productive without the threat of slave drivers.
[Heather]
I don't have time
it goes quickly
with every sun set
and morning dew
broken by quick hot
summer sun raise
I miss the sweet
slow ache
of childhood
unadorned
by responsibility
[eve rednellac]
i hate it. i can't stand it sometimes but i know its necessary because if not, we human won't be able to get shit done. to a certain extent, i can agree with it. what would be a world without deadlines? it would be freakin' laid back. would things get done? if they did, would they get done on time?
[Gregory]
i only have 60 seconds in this deadline. it reminds me of people with real jobs and stress. a reason to loosen one' tie. unbotton the top botton. drink too much. beat your wife. 'i'm sorry, honey, but I'm under a lot of pressure with this deadline." I picture high pressure bosses with gray hair and giant wrist watches. i think of procrastination, eventually.
[patrick]
Quickly she raced down the street only to find that the doors were closed. Locked. She was too late. Her midterm was due in three hours and the only library in the area with the book she needed to finish it was closed. A sinking feeling invaded her senses.
[Zumi]
such a damn mess. Every day something is due and it's to much. i just can't take anymore memos or faxes or well anything. i feel inadequate but the mundane and worthless existence that is my life in this firm are wieghing on mme and I'm going to snap. Perhaps I ll leap from this window. or that one. Or anyone. Deadlines. Fuck you. and your deadlines.
[ariana]
pressure to finish. rush to an end. can it be extended? yes but only to put off the certain.
[al]
time constraint
can't finish to paint
may be the end of the line
it's deadline
[ivanaldover]
I wish I didn't feel lie I needed to rush. I wish I could take my sweet ass time and just tell you whenever I could. But I'm in love with you, and if I wait any longer I'll explode. I just wish I didn't have to feel so alone. I wish you would do something.
[Nina]
the clock stops and there's nothing left to see. Blank space that calls out at me, only it's ticking closer and closer, green inching towards me. I'm not sure what to do, or where to go, but my time is almost up. Ready?
[Eva]
I can't help it. I know I should be working on it but every time I go near my paper, i get bombarded with thoughts of.. her. It's dumb, and I'm probably going to fail my class because of it, but good God I can't get her dumb smile out of my head! Ack! I shouldn't even be doing this!
[dani]
i dont know what to do beacause the deadline is close and i haven't tried to do anything with my project. sucks badly. sucks sucks sucks. i dont have anyone to help me with the project. its due in 3 hours. 3 fucking hours. the deadline is going to kill me and if i were to start now it wouldnt be worth it because i wouldnt even be finished and therefore it would be pointless to start the project in the first place. my teacher is going to kill me.
[britty]
when something is due
[sierra]
It's too soon for a deadline. I don't have enough time for this shit. God, I can't believe I wasted my whole day and now I am forced to rush. God, I hate being rushed, it's so frustrating. The so much to do and so little time. I hope that I am not penalized if I miss the deadline. I wonder what will happen to me? Will I lose my job? Not have enough money to feed my kids?
[Susan]
deadlines for things that require any typy of creativity remove a lot of
[rani]
the deadline. the deadline can be categorized on two different ways. excitement, or stress. The excitement of a deadline can almost make you piss you pants like a child. But then again, so can the stress!
[Christiane]
People talk and talk about other people. About their faults; about their weaknesses; about their mistakes. It's hard to continue to try again and again for you when people are always telling me that you'll never change. I've established a deadline in my head and in my heart for when I need to get out and let you go. I hope that you can prove me wrong before that deadline comes. I need you to prove me wrong.
[Leah]
i don't want a deadline for growing up.
[rachel]
Okay, so I have a deadline. And it is in two hours. And I have nothing done yet. Big deal, right? ... Okay, so it's a huge deal! This isn't like high school when I could pull together an A+ book report in two seconds. I need time!
[H]
what the hell is a deadline? really isnt it just something that we created through our inexperience with the universe and time? whats the hurry
[Jyrm]
It's what everyone hates but the one's who can't work without one. I can't. I need a deadline or I procrastinate. I also need an assignment. If I don't have an assignment, I don't do anything. So, give me and assignment and a deadline, and I can write really well. Try me. Go ahead, try me. I can write good prose if I just have an assignment and a deadline. No deadline, no prose. It's just that simple. Is my ninety seconds up yet? Can I stop now? Hello! Is there anyone there? I give up. You gave me the assignment of writing about the word at the top of this page, and, I thought you gave me a deadline. Well, I wrote about the word, and I think I've written about it for a long enough time to be through with this assignment. Well, am I?
[Will Wilson]
I hate deadlines. They are intimidating. Why should someone have one? I suppose I can contradict myself and say they help. One could go on and on and on about a topic if they didn't have a deadline. So they are helpful but rude.
[courtney]
deadlines suck. i hate them. i quit art in school cos they're too limiting for the living of. i'm a cumulative three months overdue assignment-wise AS WE SPEAK! and this little gidget gadget has a very imminent deadline glaring me in the face with its ever reddening orange eyes. fear fear. it's ok, i'm going to have lunch.
[joni]
Oh god. Crap. I have SOOOOO many deadlines to make. Like, huge presentation on Friday. Fanfic needs to be up tonight, hasn't been started. Oh, and social studies essay.
I KEEP GETTING DISTRACTED!
By important things... LIKE BONES!
ZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK! I LOVE YOU ZACK/ERIC YOU BETTER FUCKING BE ON NEXT SEASON OR I WILL BEAT THE PEOPLE WHO PAY YOU [ERIC] WITH A STICK! I REALLY, REALLY WILL!

[Gabi]
its time to put away the stumbleupon becuase of the deadline. the books need writtenn and the classes need to be taken. The guitar needs to be played and the revenue needs to increase substantially. Deadlines are the root of all evil and the motivation for anything that is good. Its time to put away the stumbleupon.
[Emily]
i guess
if you say so
i heard you the first time
no, no i really don't need you to visit
seriously, you expect me to work under these conditions
i have half a mind
to stomp and holler
and scream at you to shove it with your ultimatums
and deadlines
[hg]
this is one of the worst possible things in the universe. i mean really, who needs them? nothing but stress and anxiety and waiting and worrying. absolute hell. why does anybody need to get something done at a specific time... stress doesn't lend itself to perfection.
[patrick]
no, the line was crossed buster,,now your just dead and stank with your pool cue lodged somewhere where the light of love dimmed sometime back,,you are not the replicant you thought you were,and proclaiming your false prophecies at the gay pride convention did not sit very well with wilbetro el macho,,,so be it,,,gay people rule,,maybe,,wheres tom with the weather?
[joel]
The deadline approached, and he was frightened. His book should have been done, proofread weeks ago. Where had the time gone? His boyfriend had bothered him, his loser neighbor had pissed him off, and all of his free time had flown out the stuffy, painted-shut windows. Poor him. He'd finish it tonight.
[Caroline Palmer]
She did everything she possibly could to stop him. It was a horrible mess and her heels broke in the city street, but she stood her ground and was strong even though the moon was out and the bats were flying over the shopping mall, now closed, catching squirming mosquitoes in their little mouths. He just wouldn't listen.
[Olga]
I've had plenty of deadlines in my life and I worked best with them. When they stopped I stopped. I used to write for pay and always with a deadline. Now I still write but only for fun and I don't get paid. I'm not good at imposing my own deadlines. I thought I would be, but I'm not. I can't remember the last time I actually had a deadlline.
[Mona]
The dreaded deadline. ait is necessary. Nothing would get done with out it. You need nerves of steel to meet deadlines sometimes. It would be better if you didn't procrastinate and had excellent planning skills.
[Lynn]
His fingers hurt from the typing, the erasing and the retyping as he scrambled to get it all down on the page. He furrowed his brow as he struck another wrong key--he was sweating heavily and the cigarette in his mouth just tasted like failure.
[lucas sherry]
I hate to use is can't. Can't do this. Can't do that. It's just another way of avoiding the truth that one fears to attempt something. So, let's get rid of can't. One word we can all do without.
[mike]
beat it beat, you can do it, gotta get it done. Hurry Hurry. We can do this. Time is of the essence. Whats the problem. Hurry Up DooshBAg. YOU NEED TO DO THIS> YEA YEAH YEAH. GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GOG GO GOG OG OG OG OG GO GO GOG OG OG OG OG OG OG OG AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh

Deadlines are things that just so happen to a nuissance on business life. Often, people forget what a deadline really means, because they never give things on time. Of course, I've never been one for following deadlines either, so I can't say that I am any better. It's quite a good thing to ahve however, because it keeps that deadline stress on.
[Brent]
fast, hot moving hustle go get it done move it now now now hop yo it faster faster right away!!!!!!!!!! stresssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mind blank money OMG! Cant think
[Sharon]
i have a deadline. deadlines are never met. deadlines are dead lines. i don't like deadlines. make them go away. no deadlines make me happy. i like to be happy. i don't like dead lines.
[april]
deadline. i have one. it tortures me. it is my worst enemy...and my best friend. Because if I ever have any hope of getting anything done, i need my deadline more than anything. Uh oh, time's up...
[Kat]
oh boy, deadlines are done and gone for the year woo hoo
All I can say is thank goodness for that which is only
temporarily gone from existence in my life because
I will have deadlines until I am
dead
[Joshua]
well fuck its another one and you never are able to make it. its just like you can't help but NOT obey that stupid word. otherwise, yeah, you could churn out that report in a week, but put that dreadful word up there and you agonize over it for weeks. you missed the fucking deadline
[goat]
The on rushing deadline made me feel overwhelmed. I knew I would never make it and that she was going to die.
It was only until I realized that it wasn't that easy to find kidneys after all that I decided this was a bad idea.
[bort]
i love the whooshing sound they make as they rush by -- Douglas Adams
[Matt]
I had this deadline I need to accomplish. It was imposed on me quickly and I wasn't how to go about it. It was a writing assignment. My teacher told me I was a good writer but that I wasn't very creative. She suggested that I just write and write and write whatever comes to my head first. So that's what I did. Rather, that's what I've been doing. I don't know. It seems to work pretty well. But then again, I am no writer. I just play games.
[Brandon]
There was a deadline I had to write for this. I only had a few seconds to type, but I don't remember because I hadn't read the previous page well enough. I was nervous, as I watched that little green bar above the text box slowly creep across to the right. Halfway through, it began to turn into warmer colors, an orange color.
[Andrea]
it seems that if i don't pass math this year everything will just crash down. I have 3 weeks to raise my grade, and of course thats plenty of time. i need to do it, i need help please. i wish i was smarter.
[Juliana]
last one done
last one to finish
never get it done
never finish
tick tick tick
KABOOM
[hannah]
I hate deadlines. motherfucking son of a bitch deadlines get in my way. they make the best work, though. i work bets under pressure. deadline is a scary word. why must it be dead. the work ends but its life begins. we should not call it a deadline. that is a silly term. blerg. i have a deadline as soon as that line ends.
[betsy]
The clock ticks mercilessly as the hands on the clock wanders mindlessly towards the tick marked "12." There isn't much I can do to stop this constant passing of time, but what I can do, is very little to what is expected.
[Krissy]
I died and went to hell. I have to deliver an assignment for History Class tomorrow and I don't want to. I am in love with my History Teacher and want to do something about it. Don't care what they have to say, don't wanna listen to them anyway. Work work.
[Pepe]
deadline?!?! CRAP. SHIT. FUCK. MY WHATS-IT-CALLED WAS DUE TODAY. I AM SCREWED. that is what i think of whenever i hear the word deadline, and that is what my reaction would be if i ever forgot a deadline.
i really, really, really, REALLY hate deadlines.
*shivers*
grosssssss.
[lauren]
Same word I had last time... I wonder if there's one word per day and I'll have to wait till tomorrow for something new. THAT SUCKS. i SHOULD TURN CAPS LOCK OFF. There, I did. :D
[Avia]
Ah I need to get thiis thing in before the 1 minute deadline. I don't know what will happen if I don't. I doubt that it's anything terrible. BUt I'm still kinda panicy.
[Avia]
She was there, computer in front of her, seconds ticking away.
Think.
She thought.
Type.
She typed.
Time was the deadline, imagination was not.
Black and white, it had to come out somehow.
She thought of rainbows. No.
She thought of stars. No.
She thought of loss, heart break and betrayal. Yes.
This was the time, now more than ever, to write.
[Elysa]
Anyone can say anything in one word. One word is anything and everything. a word is a meaning. It can and will mean anything you say. Just a word can change things. it just one word that make you think....
[Mad]
no more time, work, about to finish, time in which something is due, referring to a due date of a paper, dealing with work or school, the end of time limit.
[nicole]
Oh my gosh, I have this paper that's due. I need to finish before the deadline.
[Jenn]
you are my deadline.How do I complete you?
[M2M]
The deadline for the project was the next day, and, of course, I hadn't even put any thought into it yet. I rushed, worked late into the night...And got one hundred percent.

Cause for concern, damage to reputation, stress, coffee, strain, pain. Complete, yet still no time to eat.

I smell chiles burning on the stove I feel the pressure of the misinformed and procrastinators building up because the end is near and you are lacking. little chihuahua sniffs my jeans and runs away trembling in fear. my stomach grumbles time to feed it and deadlines are trash I always work down to the wire ugh ugh ugh I hear my mom calling me and the minute timer is running outtttttt
[stephanie]
I have a deadline. I need to finish becoming successful before it's too late. How do i know when it's going to be too late? Dunno.. So i guess i have an invisible deadline. This is why we set goals so that we can set our own deadlines for success. Success can't be achieved by flying through time without knowing which direction you need to head.

my boys down ground they blooded, they blunted, devil got em hunted, rolled flat blazed a hundred// to riches I roll// the flow i wrote, the murder I sung, same shit my will-be(bee) got you stung//
[ERIC LEE]
i rush. i move. i write. i plan. i hurry along. to get this out in the time required. my hands and feet don't seem to move fast enough. others around seem to dampen the speed and the urgency flees. it doesn't seem possible to be able to finish this on time. what crazy fools are they?
[clowno]
Click. Click. Click.
Why, why is it now? I have had maybe a couple weeks to perform thismost dubious of tasks, butno, it choses to sneak up at the last minute. If I had known!@ Next time! Next time it will be better! I'l prepare and scout and look and LISTEN!
maybe...
[Ace]
deadlines are the scariest things an writer can face. one must be prepared for deadlines. they consist of times and good stories. all news editors have great stresses about deadlines. like for instnat right now i have a deadline to finish this thing. oo lord you gotta help me with this. ahhh. hahah i dont know what else to write. help! heheh im watching the real world my deadlines up!
[molly]
I don't know why I do this to myself. I look around at other things and don't understand what I see. Even though I try to so much.
As I watch the deadline creep closer I realize I still don't understand at all. Not one bit.
[Lainey]

[Eric]
the end of the term is always stressful, with all the papers due. and teachers that assign, lets say, three papers to make up for the fact that they've assigned nothing the whole year. oh yeah, its a good time.
[Sarah]
Horrible amounts of pressure that are ruining your life and making you feel guilty for not doing something you don't even want to. Other peoples way of keeping you obedient and making you a hard worker. The reason that happiness is so hard to find when you work.
[Jonathan Cutshaw]
I'm on a deadline. I'm sweating, thinking about coffee, going to pee, eating, but I can't stop, I have to keep going. If I don't reach my deadline, I'll lose it all. Only by doing this, by reaching that deadline, can I get my hearts desire. My whole life rides on this time, my happiness depends on being on time. Why then can I not concentrate on the task at hand? Why does every other thing I can or need to do keep running through my mind.
The TV is too loud so I have to stop to turn it off. The phone rings. I have an answerin machine but I have to at least listen to the message.
[Monika]
I hate deadlines. They just lay there. Dead. Cleaning them is a hassle because they tend to be brittle and fall apart. I have taken to using a leaf blower to dispose of them. The neighbors complain about noise pollution but I just remind them of the service I provide.
[JO]
lots of pressure- have to get this done... why do i always procrastinate. i work well under pressure but i could have done this earlier. focus now and make it good! i love this...
[jason]
The deadline for my marriage was yesterday. I deceded nit ti oriceed as I wasn't sure if I loved her. Next Time I will try to get to know the giro for more than two hours.
[Tom]
I hate to be crunch. I design my life to avoid deadlines and I have been successful. I am always soooo far ahead that a deadline never appears in my lights. When a deadline occurs, I have already passed it and have gone on to the next thing. It is a zen thing.... nothing by doing everything.
[SWHanson]
i hate deadlines, it makes me feel stressed. deadlines should not exist you should do what you want to when you want to, fuck deadlines and the person who invented them. Deadlines mostly relate to articles I feel like; therefore I will never be a writer. Deadline include the word dead, which i hate.
[G]
my paper had a deadline today. it was a math paper and i needed to give ms allen the square route of pi. how the heck was i supposed to know the square root of pi? so i got out my calculator in record time and i pushed random buttons on it. did i get the square root of pie? hell no! i got some random mumbo jumbo. so, how is my calculator? i smashed it. my calculator is dead.
[may]
the line just floated in the water lifelessly "Stupid day-glo bait" Stan muttered, but he wasn't really angry at the bait as much as the cheating sonovabitch that sold it to him. If theres one thing he couldn't stand it's a man that let work overtake his humanity. That and his crippling arthritis.
It wasn't exactly good-times junction either.
But then what's left?
[qadir]
this is the furst 6-=seccond story I have to do and they give me deadline I dont think these are random. I think they are on purpose. I can do just fine on a deadlne, but thiw will be so full of typos that no one will be able to read it. It would make he perfect code excep tI look at it later and never remmeber what i wrote in the first place. I'm surprised my 60 seconds arent up yet. I'm wasting time and words but I guess thats wht point. and now I'm blo9cked.
[Laura G]
Granpa carried it down from the attic. It was antique, yellowed and aged like everything else my grandparents packed in the attic. the lace and satin had rotted; grandma wanted to be buried in her wedding dress.
[maggie blaha]
i am going crazy with this time constraint this soul complaint i feel dead in the water you oughta get a little bit of sympathy for me or him or you or kim i dont follow whims
[Max McCarty]
3 months until I hit the line. 3 months until I'm dead. When I read Atlas Shrugged, it talked about people who got jobs under auspicious circumstances. I'm as fucked as any of them.
[Suave]
Seems like everyone's dying these days. It's a universal. I mean, one out of one people die. Look's like I'll need a FastPass just cut in line for the afterlife.
[Nat Yonce]
honestly, the green bar moving across the screen in bugging me out, I cant think about anything other than not having enough time to type what I want to because that green bar is just racing across taking away the time that I have to write. I really can't concentrate, its red.
[annalisa carollo]
deadline
[annalisa carollo]
She looked frantically towards the sun. Its was half down the horizon and only a small fraction still shown with a golden hue. "Move!" She screamed at herself. They were coming...she had to keep moving.
The last rays were closing in and she felt her heart nearly pound out of her chest.
[Axel]
ugh god I hate deadlines, I'm so bad at meeting them. I mean, I set them for myself, but I never ever meet them. When I do, I get no satisfaction out of them. Is it all really about me not having personal motivation in life? Why can't I just do my damn school work? It would all be much simpler if I did. I don't know. I hate deadlines. But I guess we can't live without them.
[Lena]
"Excuse me,Mr,angel,is this line to get into heaven?"
"No,maam,this is the'Dead Line'.This is line the line that seperates the wheat from the shaft.Make sure you have your form B's and justifacation tables before you get to St.Peter.Good luck."
"Thank you.Thank you,very much."
"You're welcome,maam."
[a false terl]
a scary horrible word i simply choose to ignore.
the consequences of this are my life.
but i thrive on chaos.
[Jenny]
how many times do i have to do deadline?
[do]
a deadline is something that tells when a project or something is due. I guess another word for deadline is due date. You have to have something done by this time most of the time by a boss or teacher
[shayne]
uh, what?
[poop mc poopster]
i always freeze up. I never know what to do. the blank page staring at me..mocking me with its pristine whiteness.
Every word seems wrong as i write and I frantically backspace, erasing my humiliation, my lack of talent as still the page winks at me, knowing my weakness.
[Stephanie]
time up.
[gail]
I hate deadlines! I'm a poet for cryig out loud! you can't rush the creative process! I guess it's just a sign of the times, though. this is why we're getting sub-standard art
[Joe]
the end is near hurry hurry I work better under pressure I am the procastination queen I used to wait until the day before with all assignments esp journalism I won awards that way I miss that time of my life I have no deadlines now just bills and my kids they are kind of like deadlines I guess time to eat diaper changes you know the routine and dinner for my husband try to have it done when he comes home. thus is the life of a momy and wife
[Shannon Varney]
This is all I have to say....I love one word. The one word I love is idiot. What an idiot I am for doing this. I could have spent 60 seconds doing something productive with my life but instead I chose to do this. What a waste.
[adam]
deadlines are very stressful they make me think aif school and pressure to get assignments done they are really hard to meet but all my orofs say that they are important for real life because int eh real world.
[Melissa Baird]
Despair. Why should we have deadlines? Take as long as you want to do what you need. Dead- it's so final. Not very nice.
[Rachael]
There are deadlines for everything. For schoolwork, for projects, for voter registration, everything. No one wants to wait for everything, and how could one blame them? There is a certain amount of time a person is allotted to do something, and if you can't get off your arse and do it before that time, then the fault is your own. Unfortunately, procrastination is a problem these days- everyone puts everything off. I'll finish this later.
[leah]
the end, no more and all that could ever be. Life is everything. Finite. Yet look at the stars, the neverending vast and impossibly more important stars, somehow nothing ever matters compared to the light that dinosaurs observed. All I ever feared is put to rest by these, and all I ever dreamed is shattered by the same vast friends.
[George]
Minute before midnight, will it collapse?
do I see how tommorow is playing with nut-joes, muscles with overweight burden..midnight flash of lightning..
[zoran]
deadline leaning over me, nagging and pulling at me. why do im ideas come at the last minute? why is that always the case? I sit at my desk and furiously spill my mind onto my paper. this love hate relationship i have with writing is certainly something to marvel at. My frustration builds, but i keep getting drawn back in.
[Doug]
meet me in the middle at the crevasse
where our fingers meet on the bridge of
your back, the spines and
quarter-to deadlines that we have to
meet me in the dark at the brittle firehouse
let's strike ice into the sweet wood
where our hearts beat on the bottom
of your smile.
[Katie]
Oh! Deadline. Whoa is me... NOT... everyone knows nothing gets done till the deadline. Thank god for deadlines, or nothing would get done.
[maryl]
Dedlines are good and bad, if you are a procrastinator they are the worst pain in the but ever.
In the other hand if you are organized, they help you to keep discipline and organize your day
nice....
[Federico]
stress, that's all it means. stress means my mother, stress means my sisters, stress means a hormonal household and violence associated with crying. stress means getting rachel to cumberland farms at stupid hours of the night just to get supplies for her fifth grade project, when your mother gets pulled over and almost arrested the night before your birthday. stress means rushing, deadlines mean stress. bliss is when you meet one.
[rizzo]
i hate them.
a major one now is causing my team memebrs to collapse left and right .. !!
one had to go to the hospital and the other was out for two days with massive headaches..
why can't the world pass by at a slower pace..
[silk]
I'm in a hurry. In a major rush. I only have one hour no. Two hours. two hours until the event of a lifetime. ok. not really of a lifetime. and not really an event. the minor dance of a...of my....high school career. ok. not dance. stand.
[JD]
a dead line measn business. If you don't reach it the people will not know the story very fast. Usually associated with news and business it is the point at which youi give all or nothing.
[blake]
Writing this without thought. Only 60 seconds til the end. I hope I can get something out of my head. Clear. Empty. Thoughtless. Rushed. Impulsive.
[Brittany]
all i have to do is just make it
no time no time
steadfast and steady
robots pumping fast
gimme time gimme time
struggle push press onward
all we have to do is just make it
[Keeley]
Deadlines are what's wrong with the world. They do, however, keep me out of trouble...
[Jane]
deadlines seem never ending. So many come everyday, in and out. But it seems like we work all the time and the deadline either comes too soon or not soon enough. It shorts or lengths everything. I feel like it rips reality from all of its seams. One by one. Nothing is easy going everything has rules. it seems as if everything has dead lines.
[Taylor]
60 seconds is nto long to write about a deadline in fact i think its the least amount of time i have had for a deadline. well i best start writing something of interest before the time runs out so i am going to write one word back and thats dwarfs.........
[leon]
oh, deadline is the word, hmm.. ironic how the word deadline is the word i must write about before this unexpected deadline, although i didn't explain it well, it is irony if you think about it.
what kind of deadlines are the worst? who knows, I know music GSCE deadlines are to be taken seriously. All other deadlines are there for a reason too i guess.
[James]
Well, a deadline. Not a good thing. In fact, a terrible thing. There you are with two days to write 1,500 words on something you really should know about, but due to a lack of attention in class, you haven't got a clue about. You're 500 words in and run out of things to say. It's not going well, is it?
[Lexi]
It's a very long line
that stretches from the life
I led back there
to the next life.
All of us are dead,
on line,
the deadline.
[sambpoet]
this is what I am up against:
to complete the plans I made
when we were together.
Now that you are gone,
you would say it doesn't matter,
but I know it does.
I will meet that deadline
or die trying.
[Sambpoet]
La linea della morte č una linea che non si puņ superare, o meglio si puņ, ma facendolo di solito capita qualcosa di spiacevole, tipo che ti sparano o qualocsa del genre, pertanto meglio non attraversarla. E' un gerco militare e viene usata anche per definire un punto di non ritorno, tipo che ho 60 secondi per scrivere della deadline.
[garok]
I hate deadlines deadlines suck so bad. i cannot work under deadlines like this one. I wish I could hurt the person who invented these deadlines. I hate them!!!! AAAAH!!! deadlines should die!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Almost done!! Done!
[April]
don't think, just write? how the fuck am i supposed to do that?
[bob]
deadline
[Greg F]
Deadlines cause me angst. I know I need them--I would never get around to doing things otherwise--but the day after a big one always finds me half-crazed and sleep -deprived. My biggest issue, however, is the guilt. Guilt while I'm rushing to meet the deadline, guilt while I'm missing the deadline, and finally, relieved guilt when I finish my task just barely after the deadline.
[Kathy]
deadlines SUCK cuz ya know, you just procrastinate and you don't really think about you just DON"T do it... argh I hate deadlines. I've always gotten everything in on time, but still, its nerve racking when times almost up and crap...
