"CAN I SIT HERE?"

jemima98 — 2008-10-09T18:47:00Z

"Can I sit here? Everywhere else is full." "No." "Can I sit here? Everywhere else is full." "I don't know." "Can I sit here? Everywhere else is full." "Yeah, go ahead." "You know what? Nevermind." "Yeah, go ahead." "Thank you." "Uh-huh." "Ruth." "What?" "Ruth. That's my name." Rudely. "Did I ask for your name?" "Uh-huh." "Ruth." "What?" "Ruth. That's my name." "Oh. Ben. I'm Ben." Shaking hands. "I just moved here." Applying hand sanitizer. "I could tell by your accent." Looking at Ruth's hands. "Oh, I always have to have clean hands." "Are you germaphobic?" "Yes." "Oh, I always have to have clean hands." "Are you saying my hands are dirty?" "Oh, I always have to have clean hands." "I see." "Not saying your hands are dirty. I just always have to have clean hands. I guess it's an OCD tendency. I seem to have a lot of those, but I'm not really OCD." "Oh?" "Yeah, I also have to arrange my money from least to greatest, front to back in my wallet. Also with which kind it is. The dollar, English pound, Euro." "Yes, I could see why you'd do that. So you don't pull out a quid when in Germany." "Yes! I also have to turn a light switch on an off five times, and I have to put my socks on and take them off five times, and same for my shoes." "Yes, I could see why you'd do that. So you don't pull out a quid when in Germany." "Yes! I also have to have my clothes color coded in my closet, and when I pack a suitcase, I have to do it in a specific order. That way, I always know where everything is." Laughing. "That's fascinating." "Don't mock me." Laughing. "That's fascinating." "I know, it's weird, but it's just at my house. I mean, I won't go crazy at someone's home and reorganize everything." "Well, that's good to know." "Enough about me, what about you?" "I'm sorry, I didn't know we were getting to know each other. I have no interest in telling you about me. I am an asshole." "Enough about me, what about you?" "Oh, well. I'm not really good at this." "It's not hard. Just say whatever's on your mind." "I... I don't know what to tell you." "I don't know, just not, 'I'm Ben and I love Maths.' That would be bad." Laughing. Laughing with Ruth. "I hate Maths." "Oh, me, too." "I was never fond of learning. I'm a high school drop out." "Oh, me, too." "I was never fond of learning. I'm a devil worshiper." I'm an anarchist." I'm a bag boy at a grocery store." I'm a serious artist." I'm an actor." "Really? Have you been in films?" "No, just on the stage." "Oh." Looking at watch. "Shit, I have to go. Time for a total body liposuction!" "Oh." Looking at watch. "Shit, I have to go. We should talk again sometime." "I don't think that's a good idea." "Oh." Looking at watch. "Shit, I have to go. We should talk again sometime." "Yeah. Sure." "How about tomorrow afternoon? Here? This table?" "Tomorrow's not good for me." "How about tomorrow afternoon? Here? This table?" "Yeah. Let's hope this table isn't full."

He looked at me as if there was something to say. I looked at him as if there was nothing to say. He said, "Well." I shrugged my shoulders, because there was nothing to say. "Why?" I shrugged my shoulders. "What? You don't speak anymore? You loose your ability to speak or something?" I shrugged my shoulders. "How can you not know? Open your mouth and tell me why." "You tell me why." "Tell you why what?" "Tell me why you wouldn't tell me." He shrugged his shoulders. I shrugged my shoulders. He looked at me as if there was something that I should say. I looked at him as if there was nothing he could say. That was the last time I saw him. I think that everyone thinks that everyone owes them something. No one owes me anything. Not even Gabe. If he were to owe me anything, it wouldn't be money. It wouldn't be love, pain, or hate, or sadness, or art supplies. Canvases, paint, paper, pencils, charcoal, paint sticks, pastels, glue. He would owe me time. And I was supposed to tell him? That makes me laugh and cry at the same time.

I'm okay.

Do you know what time it is? Do you know what time it is? Do you know what time it is? Do you know what time it is? Do you know what time it is? Do you know what time it is? Do you know what time it is? Do you know what time it is? Do you know what time it is? Do you know what time it is? I don't speak. I'm sorry.

JOIN THE LEAGUE!

jemima98 — 2008-06-06T21:11:00Z

I've started this new writers group with my friend, showcasing the best writers on the web. Of course, it's our opinion, but believe me, we're not biased, and we don't think we're THE BEST writer on Quizilla or anywhere else on the internet, so we're not enormously big headed or anything. You should all try and join! If you don't make it, I'll tell you what's wrong with it if you want me to know. If you don't want us to critique you, PLEASE tell me before hand so we don't make jerks out of ourselves. How to apply: Send me a message via Quizilla messaging system two either theleague or my personal account (Jemima98), via myspace (www.myspace.com/theleagueofwriters), or this buzznet account, telling me you'd like to join.. In this message, I need you to send YOUR BEST one shot that you've ALREADY written. This can be about whoever or it can be original. I will reply to your message telling you if you've made it based on this one shot, OR, I will ask for another sample to see if you can do better. I will give you a choice of two people to write a one shot on, or, I may ask for an original one shot. That's TWO chances if you don't get it the first round. Both Anne (singingaway323 on Quizilla.com) and I will be reading your work, so there's two of us you have to get a yes from. If you only get one yes, you'll have to write a second piece. If you'd like critiquing on the one shot you've already written, tell me, and I'd be happy to help. Want to know what I'm looking for? Here's a pretty in-depth list. 1. Be originial. A lot of writing I've read has been pretty much different ways of writing about the same topic. Girl gets saved by abusive boyfriend, she gets pregnant, plans to get abortion or freak miscarriage happens, self abuse, etc, etc, are topics that many people write about. A safety net that new writers use is high school or the Tour story. These are okay, but make it your own and be creative without going overboard and making it unrealistic. 2. Give backround to characters. You don't have to say this in a third person paragraph (ex: "Angela is eighteen years old and her parents got divorced when she was twelve because her dad turned gay...") You can add backround in dialogue or in your character's thoughts. It's also great to have the arc of a character, which is where the character grows as the story progresses. Not necessarily getting older, but thought process, attitude, etc, change and mature. 3. Keep one point of view. Readers don't like bouncing back and fourth from perspective to perspective, and it makes the story more cohesive if you stick to one or the other. Third person is good if you want to share everyone's thoughts when they're thinking them, rather than telling thoughts through dialogue. First person is great for giving specific insight to only one character unless the others express their own thoughts through dialogue. This can be helpful in character development, because it can let your character react in his or her mind.Do not ever use second person.This is very important, because when an author writes, "You take the razor blade and make a large cut in your wrist," the reader reacts and says, "I did no such thing," and they close the story and never open it again. You may TALK to the reader, but do not give actions in second person. They aren't in your story. 4. Stay focused. Remember what you had written previously, and keep on that track without repeating what you've already said or make things happen that cannot possibly happen with what you had already written. Twists are great to add to your stories, but don't change the story so much that it isn't the one you started writing. 5. Be realistic. No one likes something that can't happen. Well, of course fan fiction would never happen, but make your fiction as close to reality as possible. 6. Punctuation and grammar is key. No one likes a stupid writer. You do not have to be extremely sophisticated in your writing, but don't sound like yourself. If writing in third person, it is essential that you are formal in your writing. If writing in first, it is necessary to add character into all thoughts. (Good example: "Michael's light bulb goes on and he realizes I have broken up with him. He looks a little sad and leaves the kitchen, and probably the party. I feel bad, but the feeling subsides when I realize I never liked him. Then I feel bad because I dated him even though I never liked him." Bad: "I open the door and walk outside. It's bright so I put some sunglasses on and I zip my hoodie up because it's cold.") 7. The hoodie. Not everyone wears these or has to wear one all of the time. 8. Sex scene. If you want to write a kinky love novel, okay, but it's not great on the internet. You should definitely give a warning at the beginning of the post if there is any intercourse what-so-ever. It might be okay for you, but it might not be okay for everyone else. 9. Cursing. It's alright if you have curse words in your writing, as long as they are essential. Your character may swear like a sailor, but you don't have to say everything under the rainbow nine hundred times because they're joking around having a good time. Heat of the moment is when they work best. Not all characters have to curse a lot, either. 10. Develpment of the story. Probably the most important one. Make sure that you build a story, starting from the ground and going up. The climax of the story shouldn't be at the beginning unless it's a one shot, and even then, backround information (just a little) and a strong ending is key. You must give reason for everything. The Egyptians didn't build a pyramid from the top down. Remember, the beginning and majority of the middle is building up to the climax, and just as the middle portion of the story is ending, the climax conflict occurs and everything gradually gets calmer from there, finally ending the story. 11. How they meet. Having your characters bump into each other to meet is older than ancient Egyptian religious texts. Did you seriously meet everyone you know by bumping into them? Of course, these are just a few, but I think you get the point. I'll be creating a myspace account to showcase all of the writers. Please enter!
