Actually, I first heard the quote from the Avenged Sevenfold song "Bat Country", which is probably the song you were thinking of. In fact, I had to do several takes of audio recording to get a clip of me saying the quote in a way that didn't immediately remind me of that song. Of course, then I had to lower the pitch so that it sounded demonic. But it was my love of various forms of rock music, including metal, that introduced me to the quote in the first place. Afterwards, I looked it up and found that it seems to have originated from a fellow named Samuel Johnson in the 1700s.

As for my creepypastas in general, I'll just keep writing what I feel inspired and compelled to write until someone tells me this site needs more gaming pastas. If and when then that happens, I'll browse through my retro games (because it's very hard to make modern games legitimately scary) and see what inspiration comes out of it. I have been thinking about writing a Banjo-Kazooie creepypasta for a while now. I'm a big fan of those games and the few pastas that I've encountered about that game were somewhat... disappointing. Though I do get a laugh out of the one that Mutahar read when he says that a scream coming from the game was "the most realistic scream ever, and it wasn't like a cartoon scream anyways, too." I think how that must have been written that way in the pasta and it always gets a chuckle out of me.

In closing, I hope you feel better and that the *storm* of a cold passes, leaving you feeling more like a flower or a *lilly* if you will. ;-)

A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.
