Big Mistake

[unforth]

It really was a big mistake for them to put computers in this classroom. Interestingly, I seem to be one of the only students not paying attention, which, I think, is probably testament to the dedication of Grad students. Or the extent to which they worry that they'll get caught. :) It seems strange, somehow - I can't really think of any good reason to pay attention, but I guess at least some of the others feel that they really aughta.

Anyway, I'm not used to general updates cause I usually don't give them, but, well, I'm exceptionally bored right now so it's not a normal situation. :) Still, normally I'd write (I've started writing up the Hogwarts game, but I'm having a heck of a time figuring out where to start) but I have a dreadful headache, which I've found has greatly limited both my grammatical complexity and my vocabulary - very bad things to limit if one hopes to produce quality writing.

I find I'm having trouble figuring out where to start. Should I start with summer vacation, as the Harry Potter Books do? I'd have to make up a bunch, but that's I suppose. Should I start with the opening feast? That's where the actual game started, of course, but it feels very abrupt whne I try to start there. There are also a bunch of intermediate points in that range, and later points too, so I just can't decide.

I also find I'm reluctant to write in dialog for other people's PC's - I don't wish to do anyone any injustice, and I fear being unfair to my friends. I've run into this problem with previous attempts to write up games as well - I just worry some how. :)

Anyway, I'm starting to worry that I'm drawing attention by being the only person in the class typing, so I'm going to shut up now. :)

Oh yeah, one other note - All us wrestling fans will miss you Eddie! RIP

There once was a boy and his stick...


...you see, he really loved his stick, and the magical powers associated with his stick. You know, like getting chicks. Oh yeah, and magic powers...don't forget the magic powers ;).

If you write this story the way you write everything else you write, I doubt you'll have much trouble for all too long. But I'll wish good luck with it anyway...cuz I'm just that nice of a guy :).

Dude, I didn't know you read my LJ. ;) Anyway, the problem with that start is that my character is a girl (a straight girl), so I don't particularly want to use my magic stick to get with girls. ;)

Hey...girls have magic sticks too...you know...the magical pulsating vibrating kind ;). If you wanna be really technical about it, you can definitely use that to get with chicks...and it would make the story that much more interesting :).

She could use it to get with dudes too....but ewww...
