It was time for me to leave creative writing. I leave 5 minutes early to
avoid the madness in the hallways between classes as it's impossible to
move. I grabbed my things and quietly walked out the door. I walked to
my math class and stood there. The bell rang at last. Students were
coming out of classrooms, the chatter began, cell phones came out, and
the usual in between class events began. I was standing there in the
crowd for not even 5 minutes and a man walked up to me.
"Hello," he said.
"Are you a sub?" I asked, thinking he was subbing for our class.
"No," he said with disappointment in his voice.
"Oh," I said. I then began laughing so hard. I was cracking up for a good
5 minutes. I was still trying to settle down when my aide came in the
room. Surprisingly, she didn't ask what was the joke.
When I got home, I called my friend Meghan from school.
"So I thought a man teacher walking by me was a sub," I began, "he
probably thought I meant the sub you eat."
"That would be bad," she said, "if you went up to the teacher, bit his hand,
and then he screamed. Yeah that wouldn't go over too well."
"I know. The teacher would be in trouble if I really thought he was a
sandwich."
We laughed some more, and then I hung up the phone. I just couldn't
believe I did something so stupid.
Honestly, given the tripe you post on these boards, I could.
*Sigh*
ahhahaha that question could've been taken in so many different ways.. lol
precisely, but the childish nature of this is just ... nauseating, for lack of a better word.
if you want to write, take writing classes. This is childish writing.
Glad to know I'm not the only one who had filthy thoughts when I started to read this. Remember that song by The Police "Don't Stand So Close To Me"? Teacher / student no-no activities.
lol, leo! you know what? take writing classes. I would expect this kind of
writing from a 12-year-old tbh. A 16 year old would laugh at this and be like,
what the hell? seriously, though, I agree with Joanne here on this.
And just to think, this poor guy almost got to be part of a sandwich with you and your laughing friend.
You all just have naughty minds. *grin*
lol, wayne!
Yep, we do. I'm another one, because I had those same thoughts. Apple, I definitely would not pursue anything to do with writing if I were you.
Yep, me too. A dirty mind is a terrible thing to waste. lol
I too had naughty thoughts at first. This is the Zone after all. Then I saw who the OP was and thought, well, hell, now I gotta read this. Shitfire! There's 3 minutes of my life I'll never get back.
I usually try not to be a complete bitch on here but seriously, OP, writing isn't your greatest strength. I'm not saying you couldn't develop the skill but your subject matter is complete nonsense.
I thought the same thing as many of you, that this was a sub/dom type thing. Then I looked at the poster and realized that no, her mind doesn't work that way...LOL.
Yeah, I want to apologize to all of you. I told her not to post this on the board, and she obviously did the complete opposite. I personally didn't think it was funny. Just wasting board space as usual.
hi, let's waste board space! not. (how is this funny?) All ya dirty minded
people, don't be ashamed to think the dirty thing! :d this just made me
wonder, "are you okay? you need a shrink?" :d Imo, this is shit.
This topic is an afront to those of us who post genuine writing material for others' critique. Not because it was posted, but because of all the attention it gets. People will go out of their way to read and then write negative comments, but less will take time to comment on anything more substantial. Kind of backwards if you ask me.
I didn't read this. Got halfway, then blobbed it out my brain.
Hahaha, yet you're still here.:)
Omgomgomg that was very funny, thinking a man saying hi to me is a
substitute teacher. Just because someone says hi to me, that doesn't mean
they are a substitute teacher. It's like a student walking up to me and me
asking him or her if they were a sub. It's like what the hell? Now iI should
have said are you a substitute teacher? Sub, while it is short for substitute,
also means a sandwich, so the teacher probably thought I was calling him a
sandwich.
You need to be in an institution, somewhere, child.
Consider me part of the dirty-minded club. LOL I thought things were about to get interesting, here.
i thought the story was vaguely humorous. The first thing the word "sub" brought to my
mind was "unsub" as in unknown subject. The second thing, submarine.
but people come here for entertainment. If you want serious attention from potential publishers, would you really direct them to this site and tell them that this is where you like to hang out and get tasteful critiques on your writing? Think about it.
Sorry Remy. Many of us read the writers' topics but are not really qualified to comment. But we do enjoy them.
To the original poster: I agree, writing is not your strong suit. Take it from one who rambles, has been criticized for it from childhood, and has never successfully fixed it. I shouldn't be a writer either.
Again, ApplePeaches, I'm not hiring myself out as a writer either.
Reel them in Apple. You go girl. Smile.
This topic has been entertaining for sure. hahaha.
I've heard it said that we don't really grow up. We just learn how and how not to act and what's appropriate where. I think some adapt better or worse than others.
Remy. After reading your post on the Almost getting thrown off a plane board, I do get where you're coming from. It's nice to get feedback after putting a lot of work in to something. I certainly agree with that. however, would you really want the type of responses that the OP has been getting? There have been attempts to make some serious spaces for people on the zone. Take the graffiti addicts board. It was created for those who might be on drugs, alcohol or anything else and truly need help or advice, but the very first post on it was some guy who thinks he's a bear and loves playing with his paws. This was a big disappointment to at least the one community leader that I was friends with at that time. There's some helpful information and people out there, but I'd still venture to say that the zone is mainly for entertainment. I don't necessarily think people are backward thinking just because they're in the mood for entertainment instead of being in class or group discussion mode.
Guess I never grew up. hahahaha.
*sings at the top of her voice*
"I don't wanna grow up! I'm a Toys'r us kid!"
It's like the difference between reality tv and NPR. NPR is where the serious folks go and the zone is like virtual reality tv for blinks. lol
If you want genuine help and/or serious feedback on something, it's usually best to ask individual users you might know, rather than post to the public boards or graffiti. Otherwise it turns into an entertainment topic for all.
All this talk about growing up. Growing out, unfortunately, seems to affect most of us.
Haha! It was hilarious! The point of the message boards is to discuss
everything, so I figured people would get a laugh out of it!
As this is a message board, I'm just going to put this out there. Actually, no, apple. This garbage, like your other useless dribble you call writing, is most likely to induce projectile vomiting, severe nausea, and feelings of regret and sadness for wasting three minutes that could otherwise have been devoted to reading other, more interesting/entertaining subjects. Reading other peoples responses to your pointless jibberjabber, however, is entertaining. Carry on, and have a nice day.
Hoping some sustenance along with hot, fresh coffee will help with some of my irritability this morning.
The writers who want to go somewhere, usually work till perfection, and never publish work on public web sites. LOL I have some work I'm doing, but mostly with music. When I can afford to, I will publish it.
Blessings,
Sarah
It's not jibber jabber, it's hilarious!
Entertaining to me too. Smile.
She reeled them in.
We've learned the Zone is full of naughty minds, mine included. hahaha.
Something tells me we knew this about the Zone long before this post. lol *playfully punches Wayne's sholder*
Just might be right. Just might.
I thought the same thing when I read the subject line. Lol I'm just as dirty as the rest of you.
I think the dude was probably a dom, so he was very disappointed when she asked if he was a sub.
ApplePeaches ist der untermensch.
I thought that too. I thought the post would be an ad for her asking for a sub lol
to be a dom with.
yall are just nastyyy! :p lol, now that you guys are saying that... :p
So if she did bite his hand, would she be a vampiric dominatrix?
Google it and you're welcome.
She'd be far more interesting.
lol! :p
We're back here again?
Laughing.
