Please give us the next installment, I want to know! what happened? did she come to America? did the blush of first love last? what happened after you got off the plane? |
| Posted By: impersonator Posted On: Feb 7, 2007 Views: 570 | RE: english essay hahaha, thanks for the support junglegirl. I've actually been a little bit disappointed with myself on this essay since the entire time that I was writing I was also trying to keep in mind that I shouldn't write too much. I really hate to edit myself on the fly like that. But in due time I'll sit down and I'll write out the rest of the story for you guys. peace and love |

| Posted By: impersonator Posted On: Feb 8, 2007 Views: 558 | RE: english essay ah, very good question, but this will probably make your jaw drop lol. During the time my sister worked for the airlines as a ramp agent, so she had ties with certain airlines that would offer her airlines a discount (she worked for great lakes airlines). They had ties with Lufthansa airlines. The only catch to that, was that the ticket was given a standby status, which means that realistically I could have been stuck in germany with nowhere to go. The ticket cost about $700.00. Since I had graduated HS with flying colours my parents said that they wanted to give me a graduation gift. I could have chosen for them to help me on a new car, my first apartment....but I chose the airline ticket. So I went over there and I brought about $500.00 with me. Keep in mind though folks, in Sweden $500.00 does NOT get you a long way hahaha. But ya, that's how I could afford to go over there. peace and love |

| Posted By: dsg Posted On: Feb 8, 2007 Views: 550 | RE: english essay Pretty nice mate, the beginning could use a little more zing though. And the part about her father is a little contradictory (if she speaks english how has he had noone to practice on for a long time). Can't wait to see how it turns out... Please tell me you smoked with her :D |
| Posted By: impersonator Posted On: Feb 8, 2007 Views: 546 | RE: RE: english essay actually wr, I don't know when or where I picked up the habbit of old english. I suppose that it felt more expressive with it's writing style, and my spelling habbits just followed suit. lol dsg, you've gotta remember, over there they don't speak english to eachother, they speak swedish (or in their language, "svenska"). Her father was about 56 (I think?), I suppose that I should have included that information. But their schools have been progressively implementing more english requirements since that has become a higher demand. During her schoolings she had also taken extra english courses. MANY of her friends spoke very choppy english and had a very difficult time in expressing themselves. Everyone over there that I met was thrilled to practice their english on me, and as soon as they found out that I was from colorado the first question they had was: "Do you know Peter Foresburg?!!?", they asked me like I knew him personally....I guess since he's from there they look at him like he's some fyucking god or whatever. But like I said before dsg, I feel that I didn't do such a great job on this essay since I was outruling myself as I had written the story, plus with the chronological order that this event happens, the juicy stuff doesn't occur until the middle which totally takes any light that the beginning had away. During the 1 1/2 (to about two years) that she and I were together I didn't smoke weed or take X. Before I met her I was only into rolling and I didn't really look well upon weed. When she and I met she had asked me if I would stop taking X since it had upset her, so I had agreed to stop. There was one time in our relationship where things were on the rocks and we got into a fight so I just said **** it and I popped a few pills with my friend just to **** her off. But as time grew I found her views upon substances to be very hypocritical since she enjoyed going out every weekend and getting **** faced off of hard alcohol. I tried to talk about that with her, but it was then that I realized exactly how narrow minded she was. It wasn't until about October of last year that I decided to give Gonja a fair shot again. I don't really know if I'll ever pop X again since it makes me feel outta it for about a week. I don't use substances just to get messed up, I quit smoking cigarettes entirely (I haven't touched one for about 8 months now, w00t), and since I'm looking for a job I haven't touched weed for quite some time. I only use these substances so that I can step outside of my regular thought pattern to look at things from a different prespective, I can do this through meditation as well, but I feel that the substance induced thoughts and the meditative induced thoughts greatly differ from one another, the experiences can be tied into eachother to make a better outcome. Plus, I'm an avid lover of music and I enjoy the changes in the sound and feeling that one experiences when they're innebriated. peace and love |
| Posted By: wr Posted On: Feb 8, 2007 Views: 542 | RE: english essay Well then stop it. An American using British spelling is like a kid from the suburbs acting all street. |
| Posted By: impersonator Posted On: Feb 8, 2007 Views: 540 | RE: english essay I'd prefer to keep the spellings and grammar that I use to be more descriptive in my conversations/writings thank you. There is nothing incorrect about the way that I write/speak. Again, I don't know how I ever came about writing like that, but it helps me get my point across while it's still considered proper english. peace and love |
| Posted By: wr Posted On: Feb 9, 2007 Views: 535 | RE: english essay Writing colour is not more descriptive than writing color. It doesn't get a point across better. If you learned English and spelling in any country but the U.S it is the correct spelling. If you grew up in America, spelling like that is pretentious. It sounds like you use British spelling to make others think you are smarter. That would make you insecure. Either that or you are really someone like that Snail character that used to come here pretending to be from Colorado. Your name is impersonator after all. |
| Posted By: impersonator Posted On: Feb 9, 2007 Views: 533 | RE: english essay I don't remember snail being from Colorado, but I'm pretty sure that snail and I are easily distinguishable from one another. I wasn't stating that simple changes in spelling accounted for me being descriptive, I was merely stating that my overall writing styles (including grammar and punctuation) account for my statements point. I am not trying to come off as intelligent by using a writing style that differs from my country of domicile. Geeze wr, you're trying to make me look like Madonna or something >.< peace and love |
