Do you see anyone walking around outside? We are standing in complete silence. What the hell is wrong with our neighborhood? What the hell is going on? We have checked my house, your house, your mom’s friend house, and Christina’s house. This is really fucking weird.” http://cyberdash.net/celfa03/node/view/1854 I am not sure if anyone else has noticed this but it seems like the film director, Quentin Tarantino, has an obsession with feet. In most of the movies that I have seen him direct there is always a clip that has the camera soloey fixated on someone’s feet. http://cyberdash.net/celfa03/node/view/1811 There is a football game for play station 2 that has to be the best sports game ever made for the system. The name of it is NFL 2K3. Unlike all the other football games it is very realistic. There is an option in the game that you can set that enables you to fully control the quarterback and fully control how he throws the ball. http://cyberdash.net/celfa03/node/view/1784 “I told you something was different Jamie.

I also like the way it sounded with me being able to narrate the story in the 3rd person so I changed that too. http://cyberdash.net/celfa03/node/view/1696 “I told you something was different Jamie. Look nobody is here. There are no cars around, nobody is walking outside, we are standing in complete silence. What the hell is wrong with our neighbor hood? What the hell is going on? We have checked my house, your house, your mom‘s friend house, and Christina‘s house. This is really fucking weird.” http://cyberdash.net/celfa03/node/view/1638 I hate it when you go into a fast food restaurant and they give you some little stamp thing or a card that you have to get filled out to get something free. I always throw mine away. To me it is their way of trying to get you to come back. http://cyberdash.net/celfa03/node/view/1637 I was reading an article in Florida states’ newspaper that caught my attention. It was pretty funny because I could relate to the authors views. It was about how he would rather sit down to play video games and study all day rather than do most of the things that other students involve themselves with. He stated how people feel that they have responsibilities and don’t have time to waste on video games. The author tried to show how people get caught up in trying to grow up fast and become adults with responsibilities. He feels that getting good grades are enough for responsibilities. http://cyberdash.net/celfa03/node/view/1576 My favorite part of the day has finally arrived. I hear the assistant principal on the intercom releasing all of the seniors. We got let out about ten minutes earlier then everyone else so it was pretty easy to meet up with the rest of the seniors. I always meet up with my friend Jamie at the parking lot right after school. Today was just like any other day so I headed towards the lot so that we could walk home together. http://cyberdash.net/celfa03/node/view/1575 I revised this story by trying to follow the guidelines provided in the revision assignment. I think that having to write it in first person gave a twist to it. I am not sure if it is better or worse. As far as using dialogue goes, I used a lot in the first draft so I tried doing the same in the second one. http://cyberdash.net/celfa03/node/view/1509 When I went back to Tampa this past weekend it made me realize how much of under appreciated privilege having a car is. There are so many teenagers that have cars and I don’t think we realize how much freedom it gives us. http://cyberdash.net/celfa03/node/view/1508 I have really put myself into a situation that sucks. When I first signed up for Meteorology I thought that it was going to be a very easy science. I was thinking that it was going to be a breeze and it would be an easy “A.” I was absolutely wrong. http://cyberdash.net/celfa03/node/view/1451 I chose my topic by doing what we practiced in class. Choosing a situation then adding a problem to it. The first thing that came to my head was two students walking home from high school. At first I was going to make them get hit by a car or something but I didn’t want to write about that. The next idea was making them fall into a fake world where there houses became illusions and they got stuck in that world. As I started writing it the story kind of took a twist and they just ended up walking down a never ending road. http://cyberdash.net/celfa03/node/view/1450 Seniors. The upper classmen were let out of Lazy Creek High. Jamie and John, two friends from the same neighborhood, had always walked home together for the past three years right after their classes were over. They would meet up at the front of the parking lot and head home from their. http://cyberdash.net/celfa03/node/view/1401 Last Night was pretty freaky. My friends took me out to some old children’s hospital that was supposed to be abandoned. It is so crazy because it was like the whole night started out like a scary movie.
