  2. My eyes widened in unexpected surprise as she grabbed ferociously at the gray-tiled wall, pulling herself up from her soft, pale, baby feet. She was only around a year old. I watched her stumble and waddle around like a duckling for a couple of seconds. A meter could be so much.

  3. Meters I know nothing about?! How come I can’t get a different word. Except hearing something about the water dude or electricity guy checking the meter not sure which one. Meter, meter, meter and a unit of measure.

  4. I forgot to pay the toll at the meter and when I got back to the car there was a ticket on my windshield. Why do we have to pay to park anyways? Can’t things just remain free? Damn meter cop.

  7. I did this one yesterday! Maybe I can write something better today. And this spelling is American ! Probably because it is an American site. Aussies spell meter as metre – but that’s only the measurement of length. This is a very boring piece of writing, but it does say just write, don’t think ….. it’s obvious that I’mt rambling here…. Call yourself a writer !!!

  10. Meters are like meteors in the sense they give you a feeling of what’s coming. You stare at the sky, there’s a meteor. You stare at the side walk, it tells you you’re nothing but coins to it. It just watches you and waits for your time to run out so it can call on the police and have you doomed. The meteor watches and waits, falling forever until it collapses unto your lab and there’s nothing left.

  11. there was a broken meter at the place he chose to park. He didn’t know why he parked there. It was twisted, metal, a heap of broken, a ticking machine that no longer ticked. It begged to him for the money he knew it could not receive. It wanted him. A little tiny piece of him. That’s all it wanted.

  12. usually a meter is something that measures something. such as: a meter stick, a water meter, etc. it is also a a unit of measurement of distance in the metric system. parking meters are also in place in most urban downtown areas on the sides of roads.

  13. A meter is a unit of measurement. This unit of measurement is most similar to the American unit the yard. Though they are slightly different lengths, they are most similar to one another in different measurement systems; the meter is from the Metric System and the yard is part of the Standard System.

  14. meter maids, they cool. meter, 3 feet. 3 feet used to be in school. i was 3 feet tall, i’m short. i wanted to be taller, but now i’m content wiht my height. I’m nervous for what’s going to happen after this though.

  15. You use it when you measure things… you use it for other stuff too.. its not that important… but we think it is so cool… i could use it to measure my “yard”.. but i don’t i use feet… i guess this is the end… so good bye now

  16. The metric system makes so much more sense than the America system. Guess that just points out how silly Americans can be.

  17. I remember allowing myself enough time to get back before it’s too late. I specifically pulled out 4 quarters, to pay for the full hour. But the line was too long, and I ran about 5 minutes late….but not too late to see the cop write me a ticket and put it on the window of my car. I hate the meter maid

  18. when i think of meter i think of: the unit of measurement, and instrument for measurement and the rhythm of music. As regards measurement I always think of it as how deep a swimming pool is. I’m not sure why.

  19. The parking meter stood there in front of me. Slightly bent and not all in good shape. I took out my change purse. I had a few quarters to spare. I slipped them into it’s hungry mouth. The meter went up and told me to leave. So, I went about my day without a care in the world. Only to think that I would soon return to the meter.

  20. What do we have meter’s for. to measure what has happened. What we need is a meter that measures our enjoyment of life. We would not like it because life is made up of different

  21. It was just a meter. And still it was a kilometer wide wall between us. I couldn’t see you through the fog. I just heard you’re breathe. Meterwide. i wouldn’t close my eyes, afraid I wouldn’t be able to see you as you were, a ghost, a shadow, air in nothing.

    by Cece on 05.14.2009
  22. Meter is a word that rhymes with Peter. Meters limit our time. It sensors our lives. You can not let the meter run out, or you will pay the consequences. When will my meter run out? Who will put the quarters in? What if there are no more quarters?

    by Jenni on 05.14.2009
  23. Dude! Thats a meter away!!!! A meter? Like that is very much. Its three feet! Alas, I still had to go out and reach for it. Why, oh why did it have to be so close yet so far away?

    by Jack on 05.14.2009
  24. I already wrote about the meter, it’s kinda ironic how I’m still writing about it now, well I’m not really writing I’m writing about wrting. Ha!

  25. The meter is a a unit of measurement. It is part of the metric system. The metter is much eiser to use then the ich system since it is in tens and not tweleves.

  26. I stuck a coin in the meter, and it did just that. Got stuck. The damn thing didn’t register the coin and it didn’t spit it out. It just got stuck. A single coin, insentient, sitting there out of sight like a reflection of myself screaming right back at me, all red faced, veins bulging, heart pounding. Sometimes, I swear.

  27. I love it when there arent any parking meters where i park. I think the metric system is practical and the US needs to join with the world in the system. Most humans are under one meter. I think of wooden “meter sticks” when I here the word meter.

  28. This meter felt longer than the last fifty he had run. Why fifty?, he wondered as his feet continued to rhythmically pound the soil, dead leaves and twigs. The path stretched, stretched, like it was reaching for something he knew it would never quite grasp.

  29. Now, c’mon that wasn’t fair. You MUST be looking for a reason to keep your job. It just expired, like, 120 seconds ago. Haven’t you ever made a 120-second miscalculation? These heels slow me waaaaay down. I mean, I’m just trying to make a living, here. Wait. You too?

  30. meter no one understand me when I use this word, or yards. do I use yards instead? I forget which one is the one I’m supposed to use to be authentically British. I guess that tells you a lot about me, OR the authenticity of systems of measurement. actually it should be spelt metre. shouldn’t it? meter looks wrong, you crazy Americans.

    by cat on 05.14.2009
  31. A meter is something that has been drilled into my head in AP Physics. 100 cms, 1000 mms, 1/100 of a km. A meter stick. Too many meters. The test is over and I don’t think I used one conversion on it. So much for knowing everything there is to know about the metric system.

  34. A thousand and one meters to the sea.
    A thousand and one hearts I could be.
    A thousand and one waves I watch roll in.
    A thousand and one that count my sins.

    Is this the place that I’ve always been?
    Am I just the lies I’ve been told are herein?

    Have I anywhere else to go?
    Than the crashing waves far down below?

    This isn’t the life I expected to lead.
    I wanted much more than to break and to bleed.

    by Scarlet on 05.14.2009
  35. Check the meter — what can these simple numbers reveal? Aren’t words more receptive, more expressive?

    Only slightly. The greatest things, the deepest, most beautiful things cannot be expressed in this way. The way you look at me, the tone of your voice, your soft caress, these are ways that I can learn, can understand who you are and what I mean to you.

  37. Who can think about the 100-meter race when there are bigger things on the horizon? Things like graduation, an election, and possibly a new baby sister? These things are of deepest significance; the race is merely an afterthought.

  38. A meter? Ew, this is America! Sure, I know we’re not exactly doing the most practical thing, keeping Imperial, but we’re The United States, dammit! We don’t listen to your stupid ‘actual’ measurements. We call it soccer, not Football, and no, we don’t even like it! Yes, we’re stupid, but we don’t care! We’re America!

  39. I hate what Chicago has done to parking meters. Jack up the prices to a quarter every 15 minutes just outside my apartment. What I do like is that the city’s plan is backfiring.. and nobody is using the meters at all anymore! Would you rather have a quarter for an hour, or nothing for an hour?

    by Michelle on 05.14.2009
  40. I hate that the United States doesn’t use the metric system. It makes so much more sense because it is split into 10s and 100s instead of 12s. It’s complicated and it’s so much easier to convert from cm to m versuse inches to feet.
    That’s it.
