Since a very young age, I was homeschooled. It was an absolutely wonderful time, spending hours with a bitchy and tired mother and waiting for everything to end while I took the opportunity to sleep, eat, and play while she cooled herself off.

It was when I was 17. I was going on a trip to a theatre. My brother was going to high school at the moment (because he wanted to. Don't know why. I kind of missed him because we started to share rooms about a month before). It was Shakespeare, and, well, I was going with some students of my brother's high school to go see this thing in Canada.

Well, it was quiet at first, but I was to meet something that would shock me forever: Liz Herring. I knew her from church. She was previously homeschooled as well, but decided to attend middle school which apparently turned her from a little goody two shoes into a nasty mountain lion. I was stupid enough to talk to her.

But, nah, she wasn't that bad. I hadn't seen nothin' yet.

During that entire trip, the "kids" were loud and destructive as they got themselves new boyfriends and girlfriends in a blink of an eye, separating 5 minutes later to group up with other kids in the same hasty manner.

I sat in my seat and amused myself as I watched an entire first season soap opera unfold itself before me. I had a theatre on already.

Unforunately, the others couldn't see how entertaining their endeavors  were. The television was on with Mulan, but what half-asian guy would want to watch that? The first time I saw that, I had no idea what country the setting was. I was told, "IT'S CHINA, YOU IDIOT. DO YOUR HOMEWORK!"
Oh, come on! I spoke fluent Japanese and understood perfectly about the differences between Asian cultures that Americans were so ignorant to understand. I mean, the guys in the movie had long chinese beards and wore Japanese geisha kimonos and a variety of shoes that spans from Japan to China to pure stereotypical imagination.Do my homework? THEY should have done their homework because if I hadn't looked Italian instead of Asian, I would have knocked their faces off! I hated explaining myself after catastrophes result. Asian blood didn't do me good.

I know it's random, but I have A.D.D. Now, back to the main subject.

Well, when I thought it was the worst I've seen, just wait until I came back! (the Shakespeare wasn't that great. So. let's continue to the sequel.)

Liz was lying on top of another guy, snoring. Oh, how I wished to have borrowed my brother's cell phone just so I could call her dad and see the look on his face. Damn! Liz Flatfish she would be!

The stupid high school kids were demanding for Mulan again and succeeded on getting the DVD back in, and so Liz sprang up from her position and watched intently as I could see her eyes beginning to dim from the way that movie destroys culture-related brain cells. Nah, may have been my imagination. Her eyes dimmed a long, long time ago.

"You're such a pumpkin," I told her and she blushed. Yep, she doesn't get anything a bit. Calling a person a pumpkin is NOT a compliment in Japan. Oh, no, it is most definitely not. Want to know why? Okay, I'll give you a hint. What's the interior of a pumpkin like in contrast to the inside of the human skull? Actually, come to think of it, a Jack-O-Lantern would have suited her even more. At least her eyes would twinkle then.

Afterwards, I just forgot what happened because everything just blacked out.

A day later, I woke up with an emormous bump on my head.

Little did I realize, Liz was sleeping on her father. Oh, ****. I'm screwed.

Posted by brandon_scott 2008-06-20 14:13:17 .... I don't get it. Maybe I'm just an American that's too ignorant to understand. Why is she sleeping on her father? Or on some other guy? Is this actually a commentary on your distaste for Americans, or is this a story? Makes no sense. + Report this comment
Posted by D.A. Ross 2008-06-20 16:11:54 Whats the point? The writing style is ok, but I have no idea what your main topic is about. Or why the characters do what they do. Were you tormented wit cartoon movies as a child? Could have been better if you stayed on one subject and went with it. + Report this comment

Posted by Something Indecent 2008-06-21 05:29:15 .... You should rewrite this and try to explain a little more about what's going on. But it's ok about Mulan, Americans get my culture wrong in movies too. And I'm American. + Report this comment
Posted by chaabuk 2008-08-10 02:57:57 .... That's a good one but at places it seemed vague and indistinct. I liked the way the story progressed but there are sketchy details. Probably, another revised version would read better. + Report this comment
