Well well...
Aug. 25th, 2004 04:47 pmYay for awesome English teacher! Mr. Lamoraux already has us writing *dances* though Maddy doesn't get to answer questions....noo, though I stopped raising my hand after he was walking down the row and gave me an odd look and said "Well I already know you know what the conclusion is..." I took is as a compliment.
We have to plot though. I utterly despise plotting. At least with webs or story maps, which are the only kind we can use. Timelines, as long as I have the ever most basic of plans (like when I did my would-be Nano, I just knew I had a character named Krista, she was a theatre actress, and I had to get her to Tick, Tick...BOOM!, Wicked and RENT. I threw in a random boyfriend later on) are by far my favorite. I do a bunch of em, general, setting 1, setting 2, relationship, ect...and I dunno, it's easier, cause then I can run em all together in one huge one. That, or just kind of writing a synopsis of the whole thing in two or so pages. But, nooo, we have to use a web or story map. So I just grumbled while I made my web, which I guess is close enough to a timeline since I did according to when everything happened...
Oh, but yeah! Our thing to work with is, Mr. L gives us $10,000 and we have a month...gotta travel somewhere, meet at least three people, and bring back two things. Soo, I decided to go to 1996 New York City, meet Jonathan Larson at the Life Cafe, and go to the opening night (though there's issues there, the opening night was the night after he died...I don't know when the bootlegged one was. I might make my little story self jump forward a bit and go to that...) and wait outside the stage door to meet the OBC, though mainly Idina and Anthony I guess. Then jump jump jump to, see opening night of Wicked (hey, it's MY time machine, I decide what I do!) and see Idina and Cheno and Joel and Norbert. *Clapclap of joy* Then I decided, WOOO HOOO, I could have two weeks left (cause, duh, a week in each time)...but then, holy costume party, something happens to my delorean time machine. I hop in anyways, and, well, where else can I go...I end up on Serenity. Duh.
River finds me, and well I have to stay on the ship for a week, cause it's my story. Once I realize, ahhh, my time machine!, I decide to try it again. Well, where ELSE can I go but Sunnydale. Around early 6th season, or...hmm, late 4th. Late 4th, oh yay! I can glare at Riley and stalk Spike and tackle Tara. *More clapclaps* Then I have to go home.
Know what, yeah that's a lot. He said no limit, but I bet I should decide which half to use...Jossverse or NYC Theatre. Hmm...grrargh.
I guess I'm off to horseback. Hmph. LISHA...be on, pwease *Pout* Or, well, I might do the stalker thing and call you. *Ponders*.
*Defies gravity*

Stupid Movie Quote: "Tomorrow. Same time. Same place. You get raped. Be there." Trisha nearly choked laughing. It's horrible but my sister had to laugh and rewind and make me listen. It's the 'Be there.' that makes it.
