aggienaut So as I'm sure everyone is aware, today is Easter, AND "Four Twenty," AKA "Herb Day." What did I do to celebrate? Did I leave my room? Did I get my herb on? Did I do something Easter themed? No, no and no.
I did however get the very very beginings of the second of two short stories for ENL5F started. I'm very excited about the thing, hence my starting it no less than TEN days before it is due. I am very excited about it, "The Story of Boot." It is based on a number of things, and I consulted many things in preparation. Most prominantly it derives from "The Story of Boot," a story similarly an attempt at sounding like a myth, that was to be installed in the Chosen Echidna in installments. Unfortunately my computer crashed after only the first installment was published, so only that one now remains. I also looked again at the three episodes of "The Story of the Spectrum Diedrichs," which also were published on the Chosen Echidna and I believe I'll make available through this on a day I'm not posting a different story. One a day kids.
Since this one will be "workshopped" by the class, ie the entire class will read it and analyse it, I am putting all my effort into making it the epitome of my disdain for conventional writing. Hence the first words: "Upon once a time..." establish my intent to disregard conventional ideas of how things should be written. My goal? Make the classmates' brains explode.
Today I made a bar code out of my social security code (well eight of the nine digits, bar codes, it turns out, must have even numbers). Good times. I'm continuing of the opinion that it was be rad to have that as a tattoo, a bar code of one's social security number or something.. like.. yea. I think maybe I'll make a shirt with my student ID number on it as a bar code. Shyea.

And NOW.. now I must write a DIFFERENT story that is due tomarrow. "monologue of a liar" or something. Hmmm.....
