Creative Writing .

Most Interesting Part of This Class: Having to make up so many stories and poems .. that was always interesting to see what came out for like .. ideas .

Most Boring/Useless Part of This Class: What we're doing right now with making the movies . I think that writing the script should have been like a bigger part of the whole deal .. because this is a creative writing class . and our movies probably won't be that great considering the time frame and what we have to work with . Also .. the road trips . I really didn't like the road trips . I thought it was kind of pointless to write that much about what we were doing .. and that that's the only way it applied to creative writing .

Hardest I Laughed in This Class: When Joe was here .. and we were on the Internet .. end of story .

Thing That I Learned That Will Be Most Useful to Know in the Real World: Well .. writing . I'd hope that would be the most useful thing coming out of a creative writing class . And I also learned the meaning behind things like .. he lived on the other side of the tracks .. etc . you know .

Best Thing About Brigs as a Teacher: Um .. you can say a lot of stuff that other teachers might be offended by .. ha ha . And he's more of like a kid .. when we're not doing class work .. he's like a kid teaching that you have to take seriously ?.. if that makes any sense . And he isn't too hardcore about anything .. besides grading .

Thing Brigs Could do to Make This Class Better For Future Classes: If you're going to do the movies .. give more time for preparing . More movies . Things are more interesting with movies .

"Snopes"

Ever since I watched the Wedding Crashers I seriously thought that if you like put Visine in someone's drink that they would have diarrhea . Because they did that on the Wedding Crashers. But I guess it's not true !

I'm Looking Foward to..

A lot of things . I'm looking foward to getting out of my house. It could be a dorm or an aparatment .. At this point I could care less as long as it's not residing on 211 N Minier Ave . I'm looking foward to becoming a nurse. I've always wanted to pursue nursing as a career . It's going to be a little easier to get into now that my mom is the officer manager at IWU for the Nursing Dept. I'm looking foward to getting my car fixed . We're taking the girl to court because her insurance denied my claim - even though that she got the ticket . I'm looking foward to the summer - which means no waking up early every day. I'm looking foward to trying out for high school musical two ( i know , i know .. ) at Eastlight in East Peoria . I love being in shows . I'm looking foward to Beauty and the Beast getting over with .. because I'm getting really annoyed by it . I'm looking foward to my brother getting married .. I love weddings ! And that means that I get to be in Nashville . And I'm looking foward to tomorrow . Because we're going to Springfield to see my sister graduate from college . This means that I get to see my Aunt Brenda . I love her ! And I haven't seen her since .. I was in a show this time last year . :]

Conflicts

Okay , so there is this girl (who will go unnamed) who hates me for a reason that she won't tell anyone . Like I was supposed out to lunch with a group of people and she said that if was going , that she wasn't going to go . Well, considering that I have done nothing to this girl, or anyone that she's friends with - I don't understand what in the heck her problem is. And of course, if I didn't do anything to her then why would I care so much, right? Because I hate it when people don't like me, if I did something to them .. maybe . But considering I couldn't tell you anything about this girl - it's a little extreme . And I really just wanna tell her to grow up and get a life . Because if you don't like me that much for no reason at all .. then she needs to get a new hobby .

My lover ?..

Okay so honestly, I think that having the perfect guy would be too easy. Actually I watched Juno last night and the dad in the movie said something that I think would make sense if I wanted to create my own "guy"

"Look, in my opinion the best thing you can do is find a person who loves you for exactly what you are. Good mood, bad mood, ugly, pretty, handsome, what-have-you. The right person is still going to think the sun shines out of your ass. That’s the kind of person that’s worth sticking with."

And of course he has to be at least 6 foot , and out of high school . the more piercings and tattoos he has is also a plus . :]

"Life of Megan" , staring ..

so even though that no one could ever amount to me . and my amazing live . here are a few peopel that might be able to step up .
Megan Runyard - Megan Mullaly
Ian Swafford - Sean Hayes
Chuck Runyard - Robin Williams

If I could turn back time

Yes . that is a song by Cher . But if i could really turn back time i guess i just wish that i could really try hard in school . and not like .. put things off . and be more dilagent . like i'm not going to say i wish that i wouldn't have dated so and so or not done something . because i really don't take back any of those things . but i wish that i would apply myself more . and of course i wouldn't mind going back to when i was like eating a whole bunch or something one night and be like megan . put it down . not worth it . haha . or like . go back and replace a water with all the pop i drink . or like .. not quit tumbling when i was a little kid . i dont know . i just want to go back and make me perfect or something .

mm . smells like spring .

okay . when i smell "spring" it makes me think of all the good times i had last spring / summer . i spent so much time with friends and i met so many new people . i love the smell of rain . it makes me wanna take a nap . but .. the smell of spring reminds me of car rides , late nights , early mornings , pointless conversations , arkward heart to hearts , relationships that you only were in to have someone to talk to or make plans with , the mall and all the new spring clothes , being able to open up your sun roof for the first time in awhile , washing my car , extreme hair cuts , going back to school with the new hair cut / hella amazing tan . spring smell reminds me of so many good memories :]

My Weird Habits ..

Okay , I have a couple of weird habits . Like sometimes when i'm walking down the sidewalk i'll make it so i have so many steps per sidewalk . I usually try to make the steps in increments of two . Thats one weird habit . The other weird habit I have is sometimes i'll look at the clock and try to add, subtract, and multiply the numbers to get them to equal to one or zero . sometimes ill have to use the : . each one counts as one . buuut .. those are the only weird habits i have . And .. they are kind of OCD like . :]

When I'm an Adult I hope I dont have to ..

Fold clothes at a store for High Schoolers. Because as an adult I hope that I get a college education and have a salary .. and also not get paid minimum wage . because this would stink . and i also hope that i will never have to do crap around my parents house . that would be embarassing . unless i have to like .. change their diapers . because .. thats what all adults should do for their parents right ? .. actually ill stick them in a nursing home and change my name . :]

My Favorite Toy

When I was young, my favorite toy was a stuffed animal that was a bird. It was teal and it had this hidious red and white striped scarf . It had like an orange beak and it and it had like a redish violet bow in it's hair. Anyways, I carried it everywhere i went . And it got to be really gross and it got stains and holes . But it doesn't really mean too much to me anymore considering my mom threw it away .. i think . no i lied . i think it's in the attic stuffed in a corner or something . anyways . i think that this is a prime example of me starting out being needy as a a kid . i am a needy person and i have to be attached to something . good going mom .. haha .

To my little kid

Dear kid ,
I hope that you're not ugly , because that would be really embarassing . I hope that you do well and that i don't have to be the kind of mother that my mom is . haha :] . I hope that your father is Jon McLaughlin , or Josh Groban . Because then you would have a pretty voice and we'd be famous and I wouldn't have to work . And then I can send you to like .. a rich private school so you can be a little brat :] . Oh and I hope that you never have to have a job . because jobs stink . and i hope that i can spoil you and do all the things that i would like to have as a kid . end of story . oh and i will probably never spend time with you . because i'll hire a nanny . okay . end of story .

I'd Never had Waken

I don't think that I've ever had a dream that I didn't want to wake up from . Sometimes I would be in the middle of a dream and go back to bed , or day dream just so I could come up with a resolution . And of course in that case I would make the ending how I wanted it . Usually when that sort of thing happens it's not a good dream . It's funny , the only dreams I remember are the dreams were I wake up because I'm so scared / nervous about what will happen . Then I lay down half concious and end it . But I think that reality is much better then dreams . Sure , in your dreams you can be who ever you want to be and do what ever you want to do . But you will always wake up . Besides in real life you can atually make it happen . Wouldn't it be weird to have a disease were you couldn't distinguish real life between a dream ?...

My Snow Day :]

Since we don't have anything to blog about I will proceed to ramble on about what I did yesterday on my day off . Well .. I slept in . Because I had the house phone in my room and I heard the phone ring and 5 AM and it was Olympia . So I figured that was the no school call so I rolled over and slept . I finally woke up and decided to go into Bloomington . I went over to Jake's house and watched ghost hunters .. and sponge bob . and I had jimmy john's . which was amazing . Then I went to Heartland to talk to an advisor about graduating early . Which .. is looking good . And then I went home to eat . And then I continued on to be lazy for the rest of the evening . And I took a bath . While listening to Michael Buble . Which again .. amazing . But that is all .

My Childhood Fear

When I was a child I was always afraid of being alone in the dark. I live in one of those big old houses were everything creaks. When I used to go to bed at night I would have to jump onto my bed because I was afraid that if I just walked up to it then I would be pulled under by a monster. When I was downstairs by myself at night and all the lights were off and I'd be going upstairs I'd have to start singing a song to keep my mind off of some kidnapper catching me. That was another thing I was scared of, getting kidnapped. I used to watch Law & Order when I was a kid with my parents. And usually they were about people getting killed and people getting kidnapped. So before I went to bed I'd think of a case scenario of me getting kidnapped and how I would get out. But back to being afraid of the dark. I would have to keep my closet door open. Because if I kept in closed I couldn't see what was inside of it .. like kidnappers . So, over all my biggest child hood fear is being alone in the dark.

Definition of a Poem

I think that a poem is like a short story . I think of poems being about one subject . And usually the author goes in the great detail about the subject . It's more like what that person thinks about the subject, but usually everyone can relate to it . I'm not much for reading poems unless I have to , like in school . Besides the poems I read inclass the other day , I don't think I've read a poem since .. English 2 ?.. I don't like poems because there is never much dialouge . And usually when I read books I skip the parts when the author goes on about nothing . Another reason why I don't like poems is because they usually consist of really big words .. and sometimes they rhyme . And for some reason poems just do not appeal to me .
