Long post warning.
OK, so this is going to sound like a pretentious question, I know, but I'm genuinely torn on this one.
First the set up: I have a scriptwriting tutor who is a stickler for clear motivations in main characters. I mean a real stickler. She has this hard-on for what she calls 'wants vs. needs'; where the audience knows clearly what the...

dcypha:
I had the same drama when I was going to uni. Fuck the mark and do what you think is right! After all it is creative writing.
speedway74:
ha ha you were fine saturday morning, if i couldve slept i wouldve been less annoying.
worked out when you guys are coming down yet?
p.s i read that article, found it a bit far fetched, not bad fiction though

Sometimes people annoy me.
Well, actually, people annoy me most of the time. Usually it's because they don't think, or think as little as they possibly can. This irritates me. It leads to close-mindedness and idiocy.
Case in point: I submitted a short story to my Creative Writing class this week, and although I got a lot of really encouraging feedback, a common complaint was...

you forgot a thesaurus (sp) ?
remember that we are in lazy age, you need a disclaimer at the front which goes like this:
"if you dont understand a word or theme please do me a favour - just fucking google it"

too smart for your own good!!
I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
I'm in the middle of writing a script and decided (foolishly) to describe an extra as Emo (a word I loathe).
Not surprisingly, MS Word doesn't know the term "Emo" and, predictably, did it's red "Are you sure you want to use this word here" underline trick.
Since this red-underline annoys me almost as much as that...

I think the problem with the paperclip is that he's so fucking happy. I want a depressed paperclip who helpsyou really reluctantly and even ignores you sometimes.

I just had another night where the fates gifted me with something I was in dire need of, without my having to ask for it.
It's got me wondering; does the world really give us the thing we need when most we need it, or do we, ourselves, simply find whatever we might require in any given event?
Either way, is it something we'd be...

Was a lot of fun meeting you on Friday, really enjoyed your company hope we can catch again soon.
I think a part of me is becoming elitist.
And the worst part is that the rest of me doesn't measure up...
Confused?

Ha, quite a conundrum you have there. I can't really offer much else there except: the views better at the top. No that doesn't help at all. Try with all your might? ... no. Anyway, I've finished that book of yours, very life changing. I've been looking for the Meaning of Liff too, and found it the other day, Toowong Angus and Robertson, I'm thinking about buying it. What I really want though, is a copy of this book I have now, so keep your eyes pealed for me ok? I'm glad my post made sense too, I was wery. Do you think it's safe to post ideas and exerpts on here?

im not driving tomorrow night, leo is but i'll check with him on the pick you up status and txt you when i know... and you know what they say, the more the merrier (sp)?
People I've seen in my day,
Ranting and raving this beauty away,
We are, by and large, the same,
But words are too feeble, they cannot contain.
Eddie makes me ashamed of myself sometimes...
I'm quite fond of snappy versions of the "Life sucks..." credo:
Life sucks...build a bridge.
Life sucks...get a helmet.
Life sucks...fuck a therapist.
Life sucks...find a band-aid.
Anyone care to contribute...?

Sway and I hooked hooked up with Tez last night at Rudebwoyz. She introduced us to Dcypha and we all spent the night talking about sex, drugs and D&B.
It was cool, although D&B isn't really our scene.
Dcypha mentioned some "classic" dance tracks that I should hear to try and broaden my musical horizons, so I'm off to do that now...

well, i can talk - i like the veronicas 
You left without saying goodbye
Although I'm sure you tried
You call the house from time to time
To make sure we're alive
But you weren't there
Right when I needed you the most
And now I dream about it
How it's so bad, it's so bad
Father's hands are lined with guilt
For tearing us apart
Guess it turned out in the end
Just...

At least he sorted his shit out - I hooked up with my da' after 20 years; we even did 'the road trip'. We parted company 10 miles outside of venice - I went on to venice, he went to dover for a week.
Which sums us up, really - he's dover; I'm venice.
How was your relationship with your father before he died?
