I was standing at the bus stop. All I saw was this things torpedo shaped head, also very dark and mysterious looking. Its eyes were black like the clear night sky. Its body was like an odd looking silhouette, could only be described as like a slender type looking thing. Tall, dark, scary, intimidating. The thing was breathing like it couldnt catch his breath, very deep, with a slight growl, sounded almost like its body was quivering because i could hear the shakiness in its constant breaths. The creature, also had a very specific stench. I could smell rotting food, but it wasnt food. I couldnt figure out what it is. Almost like a rotting animal. It was a very strong smell, enough to move a couple steps away because i would of thrown up. The smell was like a wall of a bunch of old people in one room in the hospital that havent showered, just a dirty, gross smell. Not pleasent. If i could, i wanted to feel its face. Touch the roughness of its cheecks. It's face resembled sandpaper, but even more rough than that. I will never know about this thing. After we got on the bus, he got off a couple stops later. Ill never see it again.

25 tweets from multiple characters POV

I used James, Leonard, Snapper and Allison's POV. if its "@leonard or @james " its the character tweeting to that person. To decipher whos tweeting, there will be a J, L, S or A at the beginning of tweet.

J @Leonard; my friend, you do so much for me. why do you care so much? i love it. #friendship

L @James; my son, i care because you ARE my son. i will do everything and anything to keep you safe, happy and sober.

J @Leonard; I thank you for that. and why do you trust me knowing the crazy shananigans you're up to? do you not trust anyone else?

L @James; Again, because you are my son. and no i do not trust alot of people. Everyone i've tried to trust screws me over. why do you think i went to rehab. I only trust you and @Snapper

J @Leonard; well i appreciate you very much Leonard. I would never fail you or be unloyal. You can always trust me.

S; watching leonard do his thing is amazing. Im very greatful to be apart of his life, hes just a great human being.

J; I like that almost everytime i see or talk to Leonard, he sounds so joyful saying "MY SON!!" or, "my son HAS ARRIVED!" makes me feel like someone is proud of me. awesome feeling. #happylife

L; James is doing so great. so happy for him. all the while i am being the crazy man i am  doing illegal stuff and making them be legal. Muahahaha #mysterious #evillaugh

S; Its so nice to see leonard treating james with all this stuff. While i chillax with my girl, nice to know they're smiling just as much. Makes me smile.

J; I meet allisons family after tons of dates and nights spent together. they like me, thank god. they meet leonard too. Allisons dad could see right through leonards bull**** about how we know eachothet and met. He asks. I tell him. he likes me, and me being honest.

J; my movies arent going well either. I keep getting fired, scripts constantly getting turned down. I dont know if life will get better. #ohno #lifesucks

L; i cannot contact james. its saddening. i hate ignoring, but hes coming to see me soon. i sent him a postcard. he will know its me. i cant wait to tell him everything.

J; i finally see leonard after a year. he told me awful news.. hes infected with HIV. and he also admitted he was gay. no one knew it. he never told anyone. im shocked. but i still love him to death. everything makes sense now.

J; he tells me what hes been doing. living life to the fullest for his last couple years because he doesnt know when he'll go. Living the gay life because he never could, he kept it a secret. Hes such a strong man. #inspiring

L; ive lived life amazing. i have no regrets. everything has been done on my list. I am dieing, but ive come to acceptance.

J; @leonard- i look up to you so much. you've kept me sane, done unthinkable things for me, kept me safe and sober and have cared for me like nobody else ever has. i thank you for everything. you are awesome, my friend, leonard. #friendship

The life of a leaf

http://writingprompts.tumblr.com/image/64787412495

Summer is just starting to end. all my buddies and myself have been noticing other groups of leaves around us starting to discolor. even our own group. several of us have fallen to ground. I feel sad. summer was so amazing watching all the beautiful humans walk by us and smile at our wonderful green glow. now its windy and cold and were all shriveled and dry, I dont like it. i hope it takes me longer to fall to the ground. it doesnt feel like the right time. doesnt feel like my time yet. all my peers are all worried about autumn starting and we hate the knowing of its just going to get colder, drier and more annoying. watching all our fellow leaves fall and die and get stepped on. We miss summer. we are spending the last couple weeks to reminisce about the good times we all had in summer. now its fall. we are all very sad. i hear my friends cry sometimes, knowing we wont be here long. one positive is that we dont ever put up with winter. couldnt even imagine it being that cold oh my god. but its mid-autumn now. Soon enough we will all be on the ground.

A floating forest

http://writingprompts.tumblr.com/image/62370747923

One beautiful day I was going for coffee with my friends just like any other normal day. Nothing different, just another day. we arrived at Tim hortons and sat down and started chatting. my 2 friends were James and Henry. Known them forever we go for coffee almost 3 days a week together just to keep each other informed about our life. So we're talking and Henry offers me to come to a little get together at his place later. Of course I accepted, so we made the plans he said around 7 so I said see you around 7. The day goes on I get ready for this get together, might as well look a little better than I usually do, who knows who will be there. I arrive at his house and it's only guys at first, says the ladies are on there way. couple girls show up at first one is Henry's girlfriend, very pretty. James likes the girl that his girlfriend brought. Also very pretty. Few more people show up, I know or have talked to almost everyone, we're having a great time.After a couple minutes I'm wondering if anyone else is coming. Henry says theres 2 more girls on their way. Alright cool. So girls arrive, immediate attractio between me and the brunette. She said hi to everyone, but was staring at me the whole time. I never took my eyes off her. So I go up to her. We start talking, instant connection. We talk about life, what she does what I do , what I like what she likes, we have quite a bit in common. I'm enjoying her a lot. We kind of forgot it was a party we were so interested in knowing eachother. After multiple hugs and her giving me her number to call her the next day, she tells me, she lives in kind of an exotic house, when you think exotic house you think beach side, maybe self made, weird things. Nope. She tells me, "I live on a floating forest. On the river just down the street from Henry's. I obviously didn't believe her but I was still going to see where this girl lived, I was so interested. But I definitely thought she was crazy. Slightly scared of what I got myself into.
The next day I call her, she tells me to meet her right up green street.so I do. We walk and talk first but and I bring up the floating forest almost right away because i didnt believe her. she tells me again, no i seriously live on a floating forest. So i tell her i wanna see it. We start walking up the street, towards the river. All of a sudden i see it. Thought i was dreaming. "there it is " she says. obvioisly we had to take a canoe there, so thats what we did. the way there was actually pretty romantic. we arrive on her floating forest on the river, and im amazed. we walk through trees after trees so much trees, and there is her little brown and blue house. right in the middle. " why did you choose to live here? how much did this cost?" i had so many questions. she hates neighbours and loves the sound of the water, and the trees flowing. this girl is interesting. i love it.
months later we are still together, living in her home on the floating forest in the middle of the river. the most peaceful place in the world. never ever though i would be here , living with this sweet girl, that owns a house located on a floating forest. life is good.

Quickwrite-Minions

If I was given a set of minions for a week? Oh my god i would be seriously so lazy. From the time I wake up, I would tell them to make me eggs and bacon for when Im ready to eat, or if i dont want to get up make them turn off my alarm for me. For school well i would just bring a minion in my purse to secretly do all my homeowork for me so all my marks would just bounce up. I would get my minions to to make me supper for when i got home, anything i wanted, make them walk to the store for me If i needed something so i wouldnt have to walk anywhere. If I wanted mcdonalds, make them go get it for me. I would pretty much make them do everything, clean my room, my whole house actually. Help my mom and grandma with things, send a couple minions to go help my dad and his girlfriend too. They need it hahaha. Definetly use them to annoy the people i dont like either. They would do all my dirty work. Life would be so easy. Thats my life with minions.  hehe ;)

15 tweets from Main characters perspective.

I used the main character James' perspective

I miss lilly so much. I hate her for leaving me.  I just want to see her. #iloveyou

I like walking to my destinations. I dont forget about things, but I escape for a bit.

Leonard is the greatest. I dont think i would be living without him.  #friendship

I just want to stop crying so much..  stop hurting. #iwish

My new job was awesome until there was a pistol shoved in my face. Never been so scared. I quit that job.  # lessonlearned #oops

I met a girl. I started to have feelings,  got scared and nervous around her.  I couldn't handle the feelings. I freaked out.  #imsosorry

Leonard really cares. If I need to escape and have a vacation, BAM, takes me to LA.  #awesome

I wish I could sleep, my god. A year goes by and sleeping is the most difficult thing to do.  I just want to be normal.  #iwish

Went to Leonards crazy mansion. The guy is rich, had a great time,  for once.  His life interests me.

I started writing scripts,  I guess I like writing,  and after several failures my friends finally enjoy one of my scripts. I like that feeling. #proud

Seeing my friends and people I know drinking and druggin' really gets to me,  but it just makes me want to stay sober even more.  #everydaystruggle

How does Leonard do what he does? Isn't he scared of getting caught? I'm intrigued by his ways of living. I always wonder about Leonard,  hes brilliant. #constantlywondering

Found a connection to Hollywood for my script, called the lady, said I might have a chance, we seem to click very well also. #feelingssuck #hope

Leonard thinks I should move.  He thinks I don't want to because of Lilly. Hes probably right,  but I gotta do what I gotta do,  for myself. I have to move on.

I'm scared for this new life.  I miss Lilly. I know I'll be okay though. If im here now and not dead, I can get through this. I can do it.  I  can do this.  #positivestateofmind #believe

Woman Crush WEDNESDAY!

Sheldon Cooper is AMAZING

I just love Jim parsons character on the show The Big Bang Theory, hes so funny and tells people exactly how he feels. I love that he doesnt understand human affection, and how when people are sad he does not know how to comfort people hes just awkward and not helpful at all. His character on the show is brilliant i enjoy this show so much.

Quick write Candy Perspective

http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mcqg42itxN1qee12to2_1280.png


It all happened so fast. I remember it started as i was getting packaged up in bright orange wrapping paper, with all my fellow friends and family, off to who knows where. We watched others go, like skittles, and rockets, and marsbars, etc, but it was reese cups' turn for the worst. We didnt know what happened once they left, all we knew as that no one came back and we didnt know why. That day came. During the afternoon we're all happy having a great time, as i said it started by seeing my peers get wrapped up by this evil wrapping paper that covered all of you and sealed you in tight. Once it was my turn it was dark and boring and i couldnt see or talk to anyone. I felt all of us together being crammed into an individual box, going for several car rides and we didnt know what was gonna happen. I felt a human taking us to somewhere, somewhere enclosed and with alot of other candys, like starburst and maynards, all that popular stuff. I heard them saying help, i heard "no dont take me away!" i heard, "no i dont wanna be given away." Seems like hours went by and i guess finally it was our boxes time, we felt ourselves lift off the place we were set down, given to someone, and again all of a sudden were in a car, we can feel the engine running. We dont know where were going. Another couple hours roll past, and it all happened too quick. We were dumped into a type of bowl or container, and mixed with ALOT of variety of different candies. We could hear everyone scared, wondering, lost, so many things. Then that was it. I was grabbed, thrown into a soft bag, and went for a long bag ride for a good hour of the day, and my life finally ended with a human, looking at me with hunger and lust, and put me and my fellow reesecup that was with me this whole time, into his gross,saliva filled mouth and gone from there. I never realized why this happen. Special day for candy?

Quickwrite #1 Robot Servant

My future robot servant would be the best servant. First of all I would have the voice as Morgan Freeman. I would make it do all my math, all my cooking and all my cleaning. For my bad days I would have it set to say only nice things and comfort me when Im down. I would make it have 6 or more arms because Im a big multitasker. Id have a purple robot too because I love purple. Id make the robot take all my bus rides for me because bussing is horrible. That'd be my servant:)

Six word memoirs

I could have used alot of other images, but I chose a broken heart because not only did I worthless but broken also, but worthless was a much better adjective for what he did. I didnt edit the picture much, but I like the way the words are written in the lines of the paper I took the picture of the broken heart on. I didnt use much puncuation, none needed in my opinion. I could've capitalized "SO" because thats how emphasized it should be. I chose the font I used because even though he made me feel worthless, somehow the good part of him (pretty font) kept me there. Otherwise, I used black font. Black = nothingness. I thought it was appropriate for the story behind it.

 

I think the words and image fit great together, because I do hate drifting from friends that I want in my life. I focused more on my hand because Its usually the person drifting from me, not the other way around. Again, I didnt edit much. I did use the red font because when you stop being friends with someone theres usually some sort of disliking going on.  

 

For this one I surprisingly like english, and reading. Ive thought about being an english teacher for a long time. "I hope everything goes as planned" I used that because I definetly do hope it goes as planned, I know life brings alot of problems but ive had enough and I would like to start doing the stuff I enjoy. Thats why I took a picture of books, reading is a big part of english and I enjoy reading.

The 2 girls in my picture are my bestfriend on the right, and my new found friend that is amazing and their always there for me. It connects beacuse these 2 people, especially merranda(right) literally are the reason im not insane. Im having a bad day, she makes it better, always. I even put a happy face.

 

 

Graduating is a big fear for me, I will be lost. I couldnt think of anything else to connect with the 6 words. I wish i wouldve used a little more punctuation, I would change it to``After i graduate, Ill be lost....`` because I will be!

 

The house I lived in for my whole life. Even the fact that I had to get a picture from google maps, shows I really can only wish to go back. I cant even go there. Another, using black, black=nothingness.

 

I underlined the skinny for 2 reasons. One, id rather get called every bad name in the book than skinny. I used 3 lines because for about 3 years that comment would kill me. I hated it. I put the six words in the corner because thats how I would feel after getting told that.

I didnt really edit this much or use punctuation to emphasize the memoir, but this is probably the most important one because my sister is everything to me, and i do everything for her. I even put a heart there, cause i love her oh so much. I rushed on this picture, but in reality I shouldve put the most effort into this picture. But the words obviously connect well, I do everything for my sister, so she can smile, and Ill be there smiling with her through everything.

Reading Tweets #2

SPOILER ALERT

My friend Leonard(69), My #favquote so far is, "I am shaking. The Fury is screaming. The greif is overwhelming me please please please. I can make it all go away. I can kill it." I like this because its the perfect way to describe how James feels everyday of his life due to his alcoholism.

The #bigidea, James comes back for Lilly to find out something horrible has happened. The only thing that was keeping him alive was her, now hes going to have to live without her with his friend Leonards help.

#romance, James asks to see Lilly's body. "I take her hand beneath the sheet. It is stiff and cold. I take her hand. I am with her. I hold her. I love her. She's at rest. Cry." I cried from this. James misses her so much.

#timetravel. I like how Leonard and James meet while their in the mental hospital. "He asked my name and I told him. He told me his name and asked if I was f***** up. I said yes, Leonard, Im f***** up, I'm f***** up real bad. He offered me his hand and said good, Im f***** up too, and I like f***** up people, lets sit and eat and see if we can be friends."  They are father like son now. #friendship

#writing style, James Frey's writing style really draws attention. Its sentence beneath sentences, rather than reading left to right. " I wish she was here. Would give whatever, everything. For five minutes. One smile. One laugh. One kiss. Just one." etc, but the sentences are beneath eachother, not just left to right. I think thats awesome. Makes you wonder.

Reading Survey

The best book I've ever read was A Million Little Pieces, written by James Frey. My mom actually recomennded it because shes a big reader, and she knows I only read books that keep me entertained and leave me wanting to read more. The book was really intense, had many cliffhangers and there was always a crazy twist when you didnt expect it.
The books I enjoy to read have to usually do with abusive relationships, abusive home lives, drugs/alcohol, highschool problems, everything in those general categories. I enjoy those kind of books because theres usually so much going on to the point where a book will put me in tears, and I think those are the best books.
When I read, depending on whats going on, Im usually putting myself in the narrarator's shoes, or putting myself right into the book, where you literally have a movie/story going on in your brain. I love imagining whats going on when I read, It makes you enjoy your read so much more and you can imagine whatever, however you want. I love that about reading.
