50 Word Story
I'm not one to be dramatic. But today? Today means war. I've got everything- sarcasm, reverse psychology, pathos, logos, ethos- gotta be prepared. It's all part of the grand scheme of things. Whatever it takes to win. My hands sweat as I go in to meet the enemy. "Hey, mom..."
The Blurb
My Stupid Mouth (John Mayer) A date gone bad. A boy doesn't think before speaking (typical) and offends his date. The boy feels like he shouldn't ever speak again, it only hurts him when he does. He remembers what his mom said, "think before speaking". He should have followed her council. The News (Jack Johnson) A mom and her son are watching the news. The boy can't understand why no one is sad about a great casualty that has happened. His mom just tells him, "you can't believe everything you hear" but the boy doesn't agree and still wonders why none of the news casters are sad. At Seventeen Beauty, Smarts, Sporty, Funny, talented... this is just a short list of things a person needs to be in order to be popular, liked, not considered an outcast. At the age of seventeen, like most girls, a young girl came to "realize" the list. She found that if she didn't have anything that was on this so called "list" she wasn't liked and wouldn't get what other girls did. But in the end she found that she would rather just be herself then be someone she's not. Because after all, who really cares about that stupid list? Speak Now (Taylor Swift) A boy about to marry the wrong girl, according to the old girlfriend. But what can a girl do? Day dream. The girlfriend just pretends that the boy she loves won't marry the other girl. He won't say yes and he'll run away right now and meet her. But her daydream ends because she knows she's not the kind of girl who should be rudely barging in on a white vail occasion. A Little Too Not Over You (David Archuleta) Boy falls in love with girl. Boy loses girl. Girl gets a new boyfriend. Old Boyfriend gets jealous when he sees old girlfriend with new boyfriend and he now misses old girlfriend. He wants her back, but she has already moved on. Complicated yet? |

Dear John.
Boys, Boys, Boys.... Sometimes boys can be stupid. no offense. :)
"John was rude to you, Taylor?"
"Yeah..."
"well what are you gonna do about that?"
"Write a song."
"Eh. Thats not really my style... I was leaning more towards- we get black outfits, rope, a can of shaving cream, maybe some 'i hate you' stickers and we brake into his house.... pretty brilliant, if I don't say so myself"
"No. I'll write him a song. John and me will be the characters in the song."
"fine... What about the plot?"
"It will be about how I forgive him for being so rude to me"
"uh-huh. That's gonna cut him deep... not! You should write about how he used you, just like all the girls before you!"
".... Yeah, you're right"
"I'm always right. Ok, what about the theme?"
"Run while you have the chance and don't get caught up in bad relationships."
"Ok, sounds a little like every other 'relationship song' but that's ok... So what's the conflict?"
"really? you have to ask? that's easy. I fell in love. he used me. we broke up. now I'm writing a song... Dear John."
"I still think we should break into his house... but whatev. so, setting?"
"no where really in particular. just me writing a song."
"I like it."
"John was rude to you, Taylor?"
"Yeah..."
"well what are you gonna do about that?"
