How old are you Beatrix, 16?

I'm in year 10, and I am 15

And Fatman are you legally able to drink at 18...?

I turn sixteen a few weeks before you .
Year 11 though :L. Yeah, we can drink at 18, is your legal age 21?

Year 11 at 15 for the majority of the year? What did you skip a grade or is that typical for you guys and gals in Australia?

I'm young for my grade here lol

21 drinking age sucked, alcohol is so readily available in America, especially in Vegas!

Do you mean it wasn't really checked upon? Yes it's decently easy to get alcohol here underage, I don't know how to, but I live in Wisconsin, so being in the state with the most amount of drunkards per capita (i believe and by farrr) then at least around here it's not too hard.

Not that I've tried though, I don't like beer, and getting drunk doesn't really appeal to me. Maybe it will as I get older but it doesn't right now and I don't plan on consuming several drinks of stuff I don't even like the taste of. I'll stick to soda

We're southern hemisphere, our school starts in the summer?

I'm watching the Napoli-Chelsea game, and the commentary is amazing . They're talking about what a good performance Chelsea are putting in to be 1-0 up, and then Lavezzi scores .

not checked upon? mate i was surprised the hotel rooms didnt have taps from which vodka flowed rahter then water, just about anywhere and anywhere in vegas you could buy alcohol
and pokies there are mental, as soon as you walk out of the gate at vegas airport, the first thing you see is pokies and at our hotel, to be able to walk to the main desk you had to walk through pokies, there was no way to get into the hotel let alone to your room without wlking through pokies
then again i was on the "the strip" so maybe its more intense there, having said that if gambling, drinking and strip clubs is your thing then as soon as you turn 21 i reccomend you get onto a plane to vegas, although i think its gonna be a while before i go there again

[beatrixasdfghjk.]

OKAY, HERE'S WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE SO FAR.
I don't really like attribute, or bandied :L.

A Lengthy Dissertation on the Complexities of the Human Condition and the Conflict that Arises due to the Inability to Impose a Concise and Succinct Definition which will Encompass All Scenarios, Noting that Anthropology Accedes that Humanity is Rarely Able to be Clearly Dichotomised, as Suggested by the Regularly Bandied ‘Duality’ of Human Nature.

Well help .

I've gotta finish my story, though >>

[fatman123]

i could send you the short story i wanted to use in the HSC but couldnt because the question was a b*tch

[beatrixasdfghjk.]

Merlyn asks herself a different question this time.
‘Don’t you trust yourself, Merlyn?’
‘No I don’t, but that’s what makes me—’
‘Makes you what, Merlyn? Makes you strong? Makes you brave? Makes you clever?’
Pause.
‘Because you know you’re none of that, Merlyn. Deep down, you know you’re just a horrible, bratty little child who’s got too much time on her hands and has decided to lea—’
‘Argument by assertion, sweetie. Makes me—‘

Alive.
~!
Exhales.


Can't be bothered fixing up the formatting for here, my story is so disjointed :L.

[fatman123]

sounds more like a script to me

[beatrixasdfghjk.]

She's arguing with herself :L.

It's italics, see?

[fatman123]

ahh an internal monologue, it looks really good if you can nail it but its not easy to do, when i wrote stories i had minimal dialogue

[beatrixasdfghjk.]

I'm bad at big, long chunks of description, and I think it's even harder in present tense .

[fatman123]

i always wrote naturaly in 3rd person, imo 1st person really limits you
My stories were a bit odd in a way because i didnt realy have many long slabs of description and i had minimal dialogue but rather i told a story in a more formal version of a way you would recont a story to a freind, more-or-less by listing a sequence of events

It's first person with internal monologue (:
Mine story's quite indecipherable :L. You think it starts in medias res, ONLY IT DOESN'T, and you're meant to realise at the end that the entire story was in chronological order .__.

[fatman123]

i like, send it to us when your done

[beatrixasdfghjk.]

It's due tomorrow .

[beatrixasdfghjk.]

WTFREAK, ONE WORD OVER THE WORD LIMIT, I HAVE BEEN DECEIVED :vagi:.

[beatrixasdfghjk.]

The assessment notification says no more than 800, my teacher says plus-minus fifty, another teacher says plus-minus 10%, so I use 10% .

[beatrixasdfghjk.]

Oh wait, I counted '//finis.' at the end as a word :L. OH WELL, ALWAYS GOOD TO BE JUST UNDER THE UPPER WORD LIMIT.

[beatrixasdfghjk.]

PRINTED.

I've only printed four and a half copies .__.

[beatrixasdfghjk.]

My stapler is out of staples, so I go get mum's. Out of staples. I have been deceived :vagi:.

[beatrixasdfghjk.]

Oh, I stapled it too close to the edge ):

[beatrixasdfghjk.]

Just realised that story now starts in medias res, because I added a line to the intro ):

But I need that line for plot flow ;__;

[fatman123]

What is this, a play-by-play commentryy of your life or something?

[beatrixasdfghjk.]

I love the way they take bets on political outcomes now .
