    only that it is happening

  15. Pillars remind me much of ancient greece. They had pillars with three types of orders on them. The first kind was doric, which was really boring. The ionic order was kind of boring as well, but a little bit better. The third and final type of order was the corinthian order, which was well flourished and very pretty. you still see these a lot today.

  27. i dont even know what exactly a pillar is. is that what holds a bridge? also sounds like a pillow. is it a pillow that holds a bridge? that would be a very unstable bridge. well, thats stupid, i guess. but then, what are you gonna write in 60 seconds. also, i am not a native speaker. are my 60 seconds over yet? white pillar house, i lived in one, once. there was an alcoholic porter calling me sunshine and having tea with rum in it. had a ball in that house. more on my way there, when i came home from clubbing. why do people like white pillars anyway? just because the romans liked them , now people think they are all cool.
