  5. Distinguished brings to mind pictures of men in tuxedos and top hats. They stand around looking “distinguished”. Who ever decided what this word means? What exactly is it that men in tuxedos and top hats actually accomplish that makes them so “distinguished”?

  10. He was a distinguished and heart felt young man in his late teen years. He just graduated high school and was ready for the real world.

  15. There was something different about her. The way she combed her auburn hair, or the way she studied her texts so meticulously as if the very thought of forgetting a single sentence would be the death of her. Among her peers, she didn’t fit. Her nature was not a sociable one, and they isolated her as she tried to isolate herself.

She hated when they came – she and the others would be worked to death, forced to cook day in, day out, no matter how sweltering it was outside, all to proved food for the damned “distinguished” nobles. Well, when the Revolution hit, the “distinguished” wouldn’t be very “distinguished” anymore.

  19. In a sea of people, the distinguished gentleman is hardly noticed. He passes them by like a wave on the ocean, each one carefully avoiding his stoic, yet regal gaze as he pressed on towards his goal with a aura of one who carries the weight of loneliness.

  28. There is nothing particular about me that is special. I am smart, but I am not the smartest. I am funny, but not the funniest. I can write, but not as well as others. I mix music, I sing, I am short, I am attractive, I can cook, and I am a good friend. None of those things about me stands out, nothing I do or am is the best, or most unique. So how can I be special? I am not distinguished from the pack.

  32. He was tall and handsome. His suit was pressed, and it was clear with a single glance at him that it was expensive. His manners were smooth, and his hair was slicked back. Jessica thought that he was the most beautiful man she had ever laid eyes on.
    And now she was on a mission. A mission to win him over. A mission to make him the husband her parents were determined she have soon. He would be what kept her from being stuck with an old, rich geezer chosen by her parents.
    Except, on doing a little research, Jessica discovered something that might make her mission a little harder. She discovered his wife.

  35. Everything was different. There were so many changes occurring, no one was the same anymore. But I guess that’s what happens in war. But the differences were so, well, different! They were so ditinguished from one another… I only wanted to help in this war; I never expected it all to change me so much. But, again, I guess that’s just a part if war. It’s all up to you, though, to decide what to make of the changes, right? So why was I in this situation still? I mean, what did I do wrong to end up here, as a prisoner of war. More changes I suppose. If I get home, my family will see these new distinguishments as just developments. No, not even that… They probably won’t even recognize me. And that’s not just from all of my inner self that’s changed; I’ve gotten so many battle scars from this ruthless endeavor that I can’t count them. Nothing is the same. But like said of old, change is nature. And isn’t that just the truth?

  37. Never before had she seen him in this way. His usually tattered britches were swapped for crisp clean trousers, he donned a collared shirt in place of his worn plaid one. Once shaggy hair was organized into a brilliant coif atop his head. He no longer looked like the unfortunate farm boy. This man was distinguished an would surely impress her father. He had to.

  38. the gentleman walked over, i felt a slight touch tingle my shoulder. “hello again” i shuddered. “you left this.” smile. “i have been looking for that” conversation, conversation; conversation. “i should be leaving.. the time has ran so fast.” embrace. “is this goodbye?” nod. “you wont be forgotten.”

  39. I don’t wish to feel distinguished. I want to be a clock maker. I want to do my best to refine the clock with the provided tools. I want to make it sparkle and shine and operate like a dream. However, I do not want to be the time keeper. There’s too much pressure in that, and when I leave, who will maintain the time without the clock?

  40. standing out when everyone’s sitting shouldn’t be too hard, but everyones’ chairs look so soft. forgot how to put words down like i used to. it’s been too long. typing is a calculated process of inputting letters, characters, pressing buttons not writing. d i s t i n g u i s h e d
