[tesni]

I am going I cheat and give you my three favorites, and feel sorry for myself because there isn't room for Beethoven's piano concertos or any Shostakovich.

Edith Piaf- Éternelle
Judy Garland- Judy at Carnegie Hall
Yann Tiersen- Amélie (soundtrack from the film)


What's your opinion on perfume?

[Elliott]

Hmm. I don't really know if I have an opinion on it. Sometimes I wear it and sometimes I don't. My grandma got me this Paris Amour perfume for Christmas and it smells really good and seems very me, so when I remember to put it on, I wear it.

Yours?

Object as what I fangirl over?

Eh heh. Ted Bundy.

Favorite restaurant?

[Elliott]

Cinzetti's. It's a fancy Italian ALL YOU CAN EAT BUFFET. And they have a crepe bar for dessert and aah it's like fat heaven.

When was the last time you were sick?

[Elliott]

Not really. Sometimes I do in class, but I'm not much of an artist.

What's the last movie you've watched?

[Colby]

The Shining, the old one. Love it.

What's in your copy/paste right now?

[Elliott]

؟

Welp, that wasn't as interesting as it could have been.

What's in yours?

[Colby]

This poem I wrote for daily themes...
An Ode to the Poster
Written for 4/24/12

It’s a thin thing,
the poster that
hangs on my wall,
held up by only four tacks
(well, three,
because the one
in the bottom right corner
fell off years ago
and I never replaced it).

It was made,
I figure,
in a factory,
long sheets of
thick paper
rolled out and printed on
with a picture,
then covered with a layer
of glossy film
to secure the picture.

It’s an odd thing,
the larger-than-life image that
hangs on my wall.
Having a picture
of a person who I’ve never seen
and, unless life moves me
in a strange direction,
I never will see,
hanging on my wall
is nothing if not abnormal.

But it was created for a reason.
That poster
of Lebron James
that hangs behind my door
held by only three tacks
was intended to give boys hope.
It is a thin mirror
that reflects
what they wish they were.
Something to aspire to.
And for a while, it did just that.
But when you realize
that even though you practice
just as hard as the other boys
and sweat
and hurt,
you’re just never going to be as good,
you quit.
And you don’t come back.
Ever.
Even though your dad
would say something
like,
man, I wish you
were a sports fan
so we’d have something
to talk about
and I could watch you succeed in something.

Doesn’t he know
I wouldn’t succeed?

So now
the window
to another person
that was meant
to inspire
hangs by three tacks
in my room
behind my door
and glares at me
because it’s
just another
something
that I’ll
never be.

But I forgive it.
When they laid out that paper,
they didn’t know.

They knew there’d be boys
who would be inspired
to go outside and practice.
And there were,
but there aren’t anymore.

I could take it down.
If I wanted to.
But I don’t.





Why do you people make me post long poems here?

[Elliott]

BECAUSE THEY ARE FANTASTIC! :D *applauds* Wow, I really like your poetry.

Have you ever been canoeing?

[Colby]

THANKS LAV. I couldn't decide if I liked this one because it's more personal than most of my poetry.
Yes. Ugh. My dad has a canoe and Fort Scott has the slowest moving river on the planet. Combine the two for the worst afternoons of your life.

If you could be a historical figure for a day, who would you be?

[Elliott]

Hmm. SUSAN B. ANTHONY. Because I've been on a feminist kick for the past couple of days and organizing protests and getting carted to jail and things would be fun.

How do you feel about women's rights?

[Colby]

Oh, that Susan B. Anthony...I'm for them!

How do you feel about ghostwriters?

[Elliott]

Bleeh. I think it's stupid most of the time. I mean, it's one thing if it's a classic series such as Nancy Drew or the Boxcar Children and the original author is dead and everyone knows they aren't being written by the original author anymore. That makes sense to me. But when the "author" takes the credit for something someone else wrote... yuck. What's the point of that?

If you had to kill one person who is alive right now, who would you kill?

[Colby]

Nicolas Cage. I can't explain to you, but I hate him.
Although I should probably use my one murder on some really super awful person who will kill the world instead of one really super awful person who makes bad movies.

If you could have a phone call with your grade school self, what would you say?

[Colby]

Dirty Ice Cream by Lady Gaga.

Worst class?

When was the last time you were sick?"

((I FREAKING LOVE THAT RESTARAUNT.))

[Elliott]

Today it was most definitely Geometry. What's the last sentence you've written in a story/ poem you're working on?

[Elliott]

I HAD A QUESTION. It wasn't showing up for some reason. IT'S THERE NOW. SO ANSWER IT.

Choir and band.

[Jo]

Violin, violin.

Read any French poetry?

[Isaac]

I play the trumpet.

Any current story ideas?

[Colby]

I don't honestly have one. I just like nice cars. Trucks are good. I kind of like a version of my Chevy Colorado that like, has room in the backseat for half a midget. And then that doesn't run like shiz.

Favorite thing to read about?

[Elliott]

Realistic teenagers.

Current character crush?

[Autumn]

HAHA. I am talking to you about Zuko, so I'm all squee-y about him and ahhh I've been talking about him all day. THis is like my third Zuko conversation, so my brain's like "AHHH, ZUKO, LET ME LOVE YOU"

What is the last television program you watched?

[Autumn]

I don't have a favourite sentence I've ever written D: I'll just pick a part that I like.

"Life is a like a game. You take your chances and go for the win. But there is always a loser in games. The loser is the one that just isn’t as lucky, the one that doesn’t have the skill, the one that just isn’t good enough. And when it becomes clear to the loser that he or she is losing, then they will try to get out of the game as soon as possible.

In this game the loser is me."
-first lines of a suicide note in Shades of Rain, also known as When It Rains, etc

What is the longest thing you've written?

[Manfred]

About 25 pages when it comes to book-format.
I'm kinda short with words, still working on it xD

What is the longest period of time you've read in one sitting?

[Autumn]

I'm going to talk about regular theatres instead of movie theatres.

The last time I went to a theatre, I saw the chorus kids messing up my home The Grinch Who Stole Christmas.

What is your favourite theatre piece that you've seen?

[Isaac]

I've... really never seen a play. :\

What's your biggest pet peeve?

[Maria]

Hum.. that's hard. I don't know.
Maybe someone thinking man are way better than women. I just get pissed off.

Do you like politics?

[Colby]

I like them in that I can argue with you about them, but they are not my favorite topic by a long shot.

What book do you HATE?

[Elliott]

I'm pretty sure I've answered this a ton of times but Bullyville by Francine Prose. It's probably the only book I've finished that I despise.

Favorite snack?

[Colby]

Ah sorry for the repetition.
Um I like trail mix, coconut M&Ms, Chips and salsa.

If you were on a TV show, what'd it be called?

[Elliott]

Happy Unicorns of Doom

If you were a crayon, what color would you make out with? Why?

[Colby]

Like, light purple, because it's not a super girly girl like pink, but it's also not a big man like red and blue or death like black. *totally have NEVER thought about this in my life*

If you were a room in a house, what room would you be?

[Isaac]

Assuming I could be as big as a house I wanted to be in, a reading/computer room would be suffice.

How many raccoons do you think you could take in a fight?

[Colby]

Like, two? Idk though, raccoons are feisty.

Weirdest thing that happened to you today?

[Colby]

The Sims 3 and Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 tie.

Is it excrutiatingly hot where you are?

[Isaac]

YES AHHHHHHH

Have you ever lost a really close friend?

[Isaac]

OH MY GOODNESS THERE ARE SO MANY.

Twilight for sure. That was so freaking overrated. And Maximum Ride.

Who's your favorite singer from before the 70's?

[tesni]

THIS IS SUCH A HARD QUESTION. Like all the music I listen to is before the seventies.
Shortlist- my queens, The Venerables Piaf, Garland (and her accompanying musicals) and Dietrich (and her accompanying films, most of her early ones having at least one song) and also Jacques Brel, Helen Kane, Lucienne Boyer, Fréhel, Josephine Baker and Anita Ellis. I also love the songs in the Fred Astaire/Rita Hayworth films, but Rita was dubbed by aforementioned Ellis, so I don't know how much they count (either way, I think Fred/Rita had better chemistry/songs/dances/everything than Fred/Ginger).

Do you have a favourite instrumental composer?

[Manfred]

Matthew Bellamy!

What's your favorite food?

[Colby]

The pork tacos from the hot dog restaurant here in Fort Scott, closely followed by nachos from the hot dog restaurant. IT'S SO DELICIOS IF YOU GAVE ME AN INFINITE BUCKET FILLED WITH IT AND A FORK I WOULD EXPLODE FROM EATING TOO MUCH.

Favorite animal?

[tesni]

I freaking adore hedgehogs.

Sixth sentence of page 59 of your novel[la]/play/autobiography/whatever? Use 49/39/29 where 59 is inapplicable.

[Colby]

Page 19 of Where Things Stay Hidden: "You’re here to welcome Mr. Murdock’s grandson, Chris.”

Opening sentence of your current writing project?

[tesni]

T2010NNWTCCT- "We live one hundred miles inland, and there are fish swimming past the windows."

Favourite song from a musical?

[Colby]

Hmm. I have to go with Hairspray's You Can't Stop the Beat, partially because it's catchy and partially because it's one of the few musical songs I know.

Favorite line from a novel?

[Isaac]

ARE YOU SERIOUS.

GRR.

I guess I'll go with, "I am haunted by humans".

What color do you hate the most?

[Colby]

OMG I LOVVVVVVVVVVVVVE THAT LINE.

Worst type of food?

[tesni]

Orange. ugh.
