A plea for help...

Apr 12, 2008 23:02

Okay, guys, here's the thing. I've got to get some original work done or I'm...in trouble. With several people who keep me on task. The problem is, I've only got so many ideas lined up that I can fall back on (to be precise...two.) So I've decided to break open my notebook of random quotes and scraps of lines that I've just been collecting and post ( Read more... )

original work

Isn't feral children like Romulus and Remus or something like that? How is it related to psych? >< Okay, but if it IS about children who grew up away from other humans, it sounds interesting but, be careful about the characters...because they could get Mary Sue-ish very easily. (at least in my opinion ( ... )

It came up in our psych class when we were talking about language acquisition. Children who grew up in the wild were unable to learn language or fully demonstrate what we might call "human behavior", which proved that there was a critical window in childhood for language development. So now when I watch Tarzan, all I can think is..."THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE ( ... )

Oooooh, I see.

You know, the "They're just words; they don't control us. Not anymore." line reminded me of Dane Cook too, you know, like how after he says one of his messed up words like 'electroshadowcamelmorphous,' or something like that, he'll go 'words don't control us, they're just words.' And everyone cheers and I'm watching the youtube clip going, '...cheers are default, ne?' But he's funny, usually. XDD

That line reminded me of Space Dementia. XDD

IT WAS NEIL GAIMAN, I felt bad and looked it up.

Ehh? YOu got in troble? But it's NEXT YEAR, your english teacher seems really anal. But she's cool if she encourages you keep writing. ZOMG, it's so cool that you are gonna continue writing in college! (I'm assuming...)

HAHA! I know exactly what you're talking about with Dane Cook. Have you ever seen the one about Roman Catholics where he talks about the "croutons o'Christ" and Reese's Pieces? It used to be on Youtube but I think they took it down. Anyway, FOR SOME REASON I FIND THAT ONE HYSTERICALLY FUNNY!

LOL yeah, I went and found the book that line came from on my sister's shelf as soon as you said that...

Yeah, I got in trouble. Because my teacher is pregnant (and thus, psychotic. But shhhhh, I didn't say that) she has random mood swings and I guess she found a really old draft of something I wrote and decided to confront me. But yessssssssssss I plan to continue in college (while studying in something that will actually make me money ;) and then hopefully one day I'll be able to publish something, BECAUSE EVER SINCE THE 4TH GRADE I WANTED TO BE A WRITER! *strikes heroic pose*

OMG, the awesome *strikes dramatic pose.*

Ten minutes later
