The Meaning of Life

Seeing as it's IN THE TITLE, I thought I should probably say something about the meaning of life.

I have no idea what the meaning of life is. At all. In any way.

However, I was recently on the NaNoWriMo Characterization Game, and my characters were asked this question. Here are their answers.

Demetrius: Whoa. Deep.

Richard: I think the meaning of life is trying to be as true to yourself as possible, and do what will help you to be the best you can.

Demetrius: We apologize for Richard. He's been watching Disney.

Richard: It's ALWAYS like this. Just because my siblings have NO ambition, they never TRY at all.

Demetrius: Richard, that's the POINT of having no ambition.

Richard: Then what's the meaning of life?

Demetrius: The meaning of life is wheat noodles fried in lots of butter, licorice tea on rainy days, and lots and lots of physical contact.

Lucius: Nuh-uh. The meaning of life is trying to get the other bastard before he gets you. And free rock concerts. Actually, free anything. Except stuffed animals. No, actually, even stuffed animals. They're useful if you're visiting some horrid friend's snotty kid and need a present.

Iago: *I* think - this is probably cliche, and has been said lots before - but I think that the meaning of life is having someone to care about, even if it's just a dog. Or a fish.

Lucius: Oh, who cares, Iago? We all know you've got *your* life all sorted out. What about you, Bertram?

Bertram: How in the hell am *I* supposed to know? I think they all sound nice.
