I also think the word random is used too much. I used to love it though.

In terms of polls, NO. In terms of everything else, yes. Random is often used incorrectly as a synonym for strange or unexpected, whereas random actually means "Lacking any definite plan or order or purpose; governed by or depending on chance".

I don't honestly think I hear it that much...but this has to be one of the most ridiculous yet funny topics i've seen for awhile..
I do not have enough time for PC anymore, it is a sorry affair but I haven't been active in a long time. I do not have many friends still here at PC but if you are one that is still please feel free to contact me via msn.

It's an annoying excuse for annoying behavior, methinks.
This post speaks to me on so many levels.

And to answer the question, random is majorly overused, just like 'XD'. Here's a perfect example:

It's overused xD That's all teh "random" me has to say xD

Everyone wants to be random, so it's WAY overused. I've never noticed before, so it doesn't really bother me.


Paired with Tiger-Chan, and it's not gonna change any time soon! :P
Deceived by my eyes and all I was told I should see
Opinions not mine, the person they taught me to be
One night in the dark, a vision of someone I knew
And in the darkness I saw, a voice say, I'm you.
Inside me a light was turned on Then I was alive

(v chorus v)
If you close your eyes your life, an empty truth revealed
Dreams you never lived, and scars never healed
In the darkness, light will take you to the other side
and find me waiting there you'll see, if you just close your eyes

Hearts uninspired, trapped inside somebody's dream
Too close to the fire, yet cold and numb with the pain
But the fever has broken, and the river has run to the sea
Washed to the ocean, and saved by a voice inside me.
Inside me a light was turned on Then I was alive
(chorus)
Never thought I would be here, so high in the air
This was my unanswered prayer
Defined by another, so much wasted time
Out of the darkness, each breath that I take will be mine
(chorus)
If you just close your eyes...
