I just like this comment I left Niff so I posted it here: Tory is indeed going to buy me a cat. His name will be Tybalt Apollo Vancouver, because I am going to name all of my pets after Shakespeare characters (unless I name them after Harry Potter characters, which will be the case with black dogs, wolfish-looking dogs, rats, deer-- if possible, lol-- or anything evil enough I see reason fit enough to name it Bellatrix or Regulus or Voldemort or something, lol . . . I suggested Bellatrix for Jessica's scorpion, and it was runner-up to something Indian that was really cool, so I hold no bitterness, lol . . . ).
Tory is going to name hers Something Artemis Van-something city (it's a tradition in our family, you see, because my mom had a cat named Vanwert-- a city in Iowa or something-- and my dad had a cat named Vandalia (city in Michigan, lol, and our postal address at the lake) Magnolia Caledonia Diarrhea-- because that's what she had when they found her.
Mr. Hatfield needs to get high, as Liz would say. He seems so depressed and he derives too much pleasure from getting kids in trouble. He's like Snape. He sniffs like how I picture him doing, too, leaning nastily over your shoulder to see what you're doing . . .
As for my screenplay in Creative Writing, I started writing one, but I'm not so sure about it. I'm not sure if it's going to be long enough, I'm not sure if it's going to have the desired effect, especially considering how it's not in the context of the story, and I know for a fact that no one is going to act it out (lol, Robert and Alice-- and even Liz, who was at first okay on the idea, I think-- were adamantly against it . . . and Robert is the only Asian guy I know well enough to ask, lol . . . since the main character is Japanese . . . ), so no extra credit. Also, it's mildly controversial, I guess you could say. The other scene, which involves more girls (so I could probably bribe like Tiffany and Jessica to do parts in it, lol, if I wanted to get the extra credit for acting it out ^_^), is awkward because it has abuse and lots of "racial expressions" in it. Though really any scene in my story is going to involve a fair share of racism; this is the '40s, after all, and the thing deals with Japanese-American internment camps, which were just racism with the excuse of
I suppose I could always do a Marauder one and then I could definitely get Tiffany and Jessica and probably Jamie and Tory and Neil (if needed) to do it, considering that's what we do together when we get together ANYWAY. It would just be on film, lol . . .
So far everyone I asked has been divided:
Liz: Do story (Harry Potter is an unhealthy addiction), and won't act out.
Joey: Do story (he growled when I suggested Harry Potter), and I wouldn't ask him to act out.
William: I don't really know (I don't think he cares), and I wouldn't ask him to act out.
Laura: Do Harry Potter, and I wouldn't ask her to act out.
Brock: Do Harry Potter (preferrably something satirical), and I am not having him act anything out, I'm sorry.
Alice: Don't do scene with Andy and Fiona, and won't act out.
Robert: I don't really know, and won't act out.
Erin: Suggested a couple scenes she's read of it. I wouldn't be able to see her to have her act it out.
Anyone else got any input? The people who want me to do my story really don't seem to go one way or the other within in.
I probably won't end up getting to film out anything, will I? I also may be immensely dissatisfied with the screenplay itself, won't I?
You all probably tell me to choose it myself. Well, you know what, I can't?
Speaking of input, give me examples of:
1) Instances in democracies in which people have been condemned for their religion, or punished more harshly because of it.
2) Instances in democracies in which people have stood up to religious rule that happened to be in a democracy and it was all inspiring and stuff.
I am not done with this debate, as you can see. I have pure theory. PURE THEORY. No examples. I need them . . .
I don't like Mr. Hatfield and Mr. Briddell getting pissed when I argue with them. It's not even arguing. I point out a fault with something in their policies and they freak out and tell me to shut up and go to the bathroom (because that's always when I need to argue, lol . . . ). They act like I'm being all subversive and disrespectful. I mean, come ON, I'm almost 18, I'm perfectly capable of having a rational disagreement with them, particularly when some of their policies are perfectly ridiculous. I mean, my quartet was promised practice time, and we've gotten to practice TWICE. His solution: practice outside of school. He told us-- that was one of the main criteria of us HAVING this quartet-- was that we would get practice time IN school, because we were all too busy to have any other practice time any other time. Then he doesn't even listen to a word I say about what type of music I would like to play for this quartet: Classical, when he KNOWS I like Romantic and Contemporary. I go on about it all the time. It's a VERY good thing he gave us the whole Haydn book so that we could find another song to do that was in a minor key, otherwise I would have snapped; the one he gave us was completely NOT my style--happy, mathematical, *RETCH.*
Yeah, I know Liz, "pick your battles." I don't. I just don't. Everything is worth something.
Plus, I'm sick and tired of my concerns being belittled in Orchestra class. That's a long-lasting, long-term, and perfectly valid issue to have with someone.
I finally heard that "Ugly" song Jessica likes and used in Hogwarts Halls. I think it's funny how their band name is the name of a woman in my family, Excie-- actually, two of them . . . the first was named after this South American woman named Ximina who her uncle or something had married-- and no one in the little Irish family knew it was "zi-MEE-nuh," so they called her "EX-ih-mee-nuh," and, hence, Excie. Then, further down the line, another Excie (and just plain Excie) was born.
Then I made friends with Xie, lol . . . Kristina's nickname.
