ok this is a preview of the story i'm working on.

it involes a romantic relationship between grace and lauren tolbert.

" it was any ordinary day at A.G., durring F(resh)A(ir)T(ime). Grace, Luisa, Jake (me) and Lauren were hanging out. They were haveing a very heated debate about which manga was better, fruits basket or Buso Renkin. Grace, who read it but was not really into it, and Jake, who did not read it or any other Sholo for that matter, thought that Buso Renkin was better..."

sorry i have to leave it there but i will keep posting more if you want!

hey it's Jake the noob! just letting you guys know i joined the blog! umm yeah that's it....

Okay, so...I made Clare give me the collabs from the meeting before last, but I forgot about them in turn...So only about a month late, here they are!

Collab #1:
"Touchdown, turnaround, I never see you around," sang Gregg to his watercolor of Howard. Ed sat next to him wondering if he should fear for his life. Gregg asked Ed, "Do ya love meh?" Ed's mouth formed a vehement "No!!" but he suddenly took on a thoughtful look . . . Ed started quivering, barely able to resist his manly goodness. Gregg looked at Ed with a lustful look in his eyes. Ed looked at Gregg in the eyes and said, "You're missing an eye. That's gross." (Okay, who the hell was it with the whole eye missing thing?) "But I still love you, Old Gregg! Even if you ARE a scaly manfish who's in love with a man from Leeds, I'll never leave you."

Collab #2:
cream pastries, pancakes and butterflies
rain-sticks and incense-induced headaches
razor blades and hand grenades
Bush and Iraq
your dog and his underwear
Blockbuster cards and the PLU numder for cherries (4046)
killing certain blue-shirted boys with self-described purple eyes (run for your liiiiife, Matthew!! Sorry. That bit wasn't in there, but I felt compelled to add it.)
Wondins if I clocked out... *shifty eyes* (sorry, that's seriously what it looks like! I don't know what it is!)
I'm so happy, I do whatI like and how I like it...living in the sun lite loving in the moon lite having a wonderful time
smashing chocolate muffins into Z's face...
stuffing twinkies into the microwave, making them explode onto the spiders.

Collab #3:
One day, Ed lost his tie.
His tie was his friend.
He'd lost friends before. He got over it quickly. He lost his friends because he liked Nascar and golf.
"Maybe," he thought, "I should attempt to have NORMAL interests, that are shared by non-brain dead people."
"Naw that wouldn't be any fun," said the voice in his head. Ed wandered around the streets of Morrison until he reached Southpark. "Perhaps I should make a ladies day by getting my face done," he pondered. But then a photography store caught his eye and he dashed inside 'cause he's a freak, but he suddenly thought,
"Wait! Aren't I supposed to be being normal?"
In the corner, he spotted it. A new tie. At a photography store. Half-priced. Just as he was about to go inside the store a woman with a five-o-clock shadow, lots of muscles, and a deep voice said, "Hey, wanna be friends?"

Collab #4:
Vimes and Vetinari...holding each other in a tender embrace while staring each other in the eye.
"You're missing an eye," said Vimes. "But I still love you just as much." Vetinari smiled. "Can I eat the other one?" Vimes begged with a childish pout. (Okay, people, I think the eye culprits are Jake and Matthew. Keep an eye out for them. Puuuuun!!)Vetinari gave him a weird look, but tried to compensate for his confusion by kissing Vimes.
"That's my eye. I think you missed."
"Sorry my eyes are made of glass."

And that's that. :D

One Year and Counting

I don't know if anyone noticed but in August this blog turned one years old. Happy birthday to it.

Last Meeting

Our meeting Thursday went well, I thought. This week we had a small group but we did more exercises this time than we ever did in the past. Maybe I'm getting better at picking exercises or maybe a smaller group of you rambunctious teens is easier to corral.

Meeting Tomorrow

Don't forget, youngsters, meeting tomorrow. 6 pm. Be there or be more square.

Stephen King on Harry Potter

You can read his essay here.

Any thoughts?

??????????

Wasn't someone going to post some group writing we did?

Is Middle Earth Europe?

Somebody has combined a map of Middle Earth and a map of Europe to show that Middle Earth was based on Europe.

Watching the tube

So, did anyone watch the science fiction show on ABC last night? I was wrong about the time. It started at 10 not 8. I thought the show was OK. I was extremely disappointed by the number of commercial breaks. I swear the show was probably more of a half hour than an hour and they juiced up the time with commercials. It got to be tough to sit through after a while. I guess that's about what you can expect from network television.

Television Tip

This actually sounds promising. Starting this Saturday, ABC is going to air adaptions of original science fiction short stories. It's called Masters of Science Fiction. Any series that is going to attempt the filming of short stories by John Kessel, Robert Heinlein and Harlan Ellison is definately going to be worth a shot. If you are sitting on your rear near a television this Saturday at 8 pm, give the show a look.

What the hey?

Wasn't somebody going to post the writings we did as a group at our last meeting? I am almost positive that someone said they were going to post them particular writings. Who could it have been? And, what's the deal?
