So I figured I'd post something since no one's been on here it over 2 and a half years!!! Anyways...I guess I'll continue working on my paper now...

The Salesman

Well...for english class we had to make a parody of "The Raven" by Edgar Allen Poe. Anyways it's great!...Me, Taylor, and Christine worked on it during first and second periods...so without further ado or whatever it is...here it goes...

The Salesman
by Taylor, Rebecca, y Christine

Once upon a midnight dreary, while i watched, weak and weary
The television of many a forgotten show
While i nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a commercial.
As of someone rudely selling, selling on my television screen.
"tis some loser", I muttered "selling on my television screen."
Only this and nothing more

Presently my curiosity grew strong, hesitating no longer
"Sir", said I, "or Madam, truly your annoyance i despise"
The fact is i was napping, so rudely you came selling.
And so loudly you came a yelling, yelling on my television screen.
That unfortunately I had to hear you"--here i stared at my television screen.
Darkness there and nothing more.

Back toward the couch turning, all my soul with in me burning
Soon again i hear a selling somewhat louder than before.
"surely", said I, "surely, that is someone selling at my door.
Let me see, then, what thereat is, and this mystery explore.
Open here i flung the door, with a many speech and utter,
Stood the salesman, and nothing more.

In there stepped a pompous salesman from the evil company of yore.
Not the obeisance made he; not a minute stopped or stayed he
But with the mien of lord or lady, sat upon my laz-e-boy.
Ghastly grim and ancient salesman wandering from the nightly shore--
"tell me what they lordly name is on the Night's Plutonian shore!"
Quoth the salesman, "but there's more"

But the salesman still beguiling turned my anger into smiling.
Straight i wheeled the couch in front of the salemans's laz-e-chair.
The upon the couch sinking, I betook myself to thinking.
Thought to though, thinking, what this salesman was for.
This i sat engaged in guessing, but no syllable expressing
What was meant by "but there's more"

And the salesman, never leaving, still selling, still selling.
On the laz-e-boy, just inside my chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon that is dreaming
And the lamplight o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
And my soul from that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be sold --and even more.

The Salesman

Magic Beans

So, I went to see The Brothers Grimm yesterday. It was a good movie as long as you can tolerate the following things:

1. A somewhat predictable fantasy plot
2. Graphic depiction of a chicken being skinned
3. A kitten getting kicked into a blender...Yes, you heard me.
4. Old ladies
5. REALLY old ladies
6. A forest being burned
7. A bunch of obscure references to fairy tales

I, personally, enjoyed the movie for what it was. If you don't enjoy movies with far-fetched plots, don't bother with this, you will hate it. However, if you like odd fantasy movies with a bit of black humor, you'll have fun with this one.

7/10

The current going-ons.

So anyway, here's what's going on with me.

First, I have two college classes, Accounting and Psychology. Accounting is boring and stupid with the exception of a few cetain times when my teacher has wigged out (THIS IS AN ASSET!). Psychology is held in a very hot room. I've slept through both my psychology classes so far, I shall fail!

I finally found a freshman all for myself. I named him Timothy. I don't know what his real name is. He's so cute ^_^.

ANYWAYS...I've been comming along nicely on Captain Synth 3. It's got a harder and more aggressive edge than Reflection Pool. I obviously did this to appeal to a more hardkore generation. Actually, it's just because the songs are a good deal angrier. But anyway, I suppose I should be done by the new year, depending on how often I get opportunities to record. *sigh* I need a job....

WHEE! good day!

yay! TGIF!!!
Well, today was great. It was a short day! Yeah, i had lunch with all my buddies!!! had lab ih physics! and got a few hugs and a kiss from an unamed source!!! :D...lol. and i left my lights on all day, so pancho's (my truck) battery was dead. So...my awesome friends stayed and helped me out! :D I love you all! Well, i would have gone into more detail, but i've g2g to a CYS (carolina youth symphony) retreat thing soon so goodbye!!!

Think Marilyn Manson looks wierd?

Now for something completely unrelated! I will give you the FIVE most obnoxiously ridiculous people in metal.

OSCAR DRONJAK (HammerFall)
Don't get me wrong, HammerFall is the shizniz, but Oscar is not. Actually, Oscar's guitaring is, but his choice of clothing. I wish I could find the picture from Renegade in which he appears in a full suit of armor. C'mon! Power metal isn't going to loose the nerdy stereotype with people like you around!

GALDER (Dimmu Borgir)
Black metal tends to have a tendency to be ridiculous, and I forgive a lot of the stupid looking people in the genre, but DAMN is this guy asking for it. For one, he's bald. Bald people aren't metal. Except Rob Halford. This guy is no Halford. Two, the smile. It's like an evil clown. Only bald. Three, well, just look at him. He looks stupid.

LOST HORIZON (Band)
Lost Horizon is simply horrible. Just look at them. The capes and tribal face paint scream stupid more obnoxiously than Dani Filth giving birth to a porcupine (See: Any Cradle of Filth song). What's worse than the fact that they look ridiculous, is the fact that they actually THINK they are these people. Every member of the band has a nickname ranging from Cosmic Antagonist to Preternatural Transmogrifier. Transmogrifier. That's the stupidest word I've ever heard of.

WALDO (Hatebeak)
Look at him, sitting there on that guys shoulder. Waldo is the singer for the death metal band Hatebeak. I swear, he sounds just like a parrot. Heck, he even looks like a parrot. It's almost as if he was a parrot. No. No one would be stupid enough to have a parrot sing for their death metal band...

So there you go. 4 reasons why you aren't ugly. Actually, you are ugly. You're probably Oscar Dronjak in disquise. Nerd.
