Education & Reference - 5 December 2006

I am a fifteen-year-old boy, and thus firmly entrenched in school. However, I do not care too much for schoolwork. I want to write.

Before you ask, yes, I do get A pluses in English, and I love writing stories. I have several fanfics, thanks to fanfiction.net (my account is X-Black Mage-X if you're interested) and I'm starting work on an original story.

The only problem is that school gets in the way so much. All I want to do is write; I speak the truth and nothing but when I say that, if I had to write stories for a living, I would give up school tomorrow.

I don't want the extra work; I don't want the stress; I don't want the tests or grades or exams or anything. All I want is my imagination, a bit of peace and quiet, an original idea, a pen and some paper... oh yeah. And a computer avec word processor.

What do I do? Are qualifications really more quintessential to my success than my stories? I may be able to string words together, but I haven't got a full life experience.

I am struggling to control a child who has no remorse when bad behaviour means exclusion. Refuses to do anything that is asked without being verbally aggressive. Blames everyone, lies constantly even when caught red handed. You name it we have done it.

Today, my professor was saying that writing with black ink on white board is the 'sixth' most soothing combination of colour for eyes. The first most soothing combination for eyes is Black writing on yellow background. Is that true. Please mention any scientific explanations/researches and the complete list of the combination of colours

My child goes to a private school in Mississippi and we have to pay a fee for drug testing. Not every student is tested, just random students, but every parent must pay the fee. Is this legal or am I getting another screwing?

Anybody can say F@#& OFF in a moment of anger, but there is little style in that, even though it may do the trick as a vent. How about some really vile phrases or curses...fun, evil, odd, or politically incorrect.

Fun: May the fleas of a thousand camels infest your armpits.

Truly politically incorrect (I apologize before hand because this is bad on so many levels): I sh*t on your mother's communion wafer.

Evil: Eat sh*t and die.

Odd: Death on a stick.

I notice that almost everyone on here spells LOSE (as in LOSE weight) as LOOSE. I can't believe so many people do not understand the difference. Oh well.. no biggie, just wondering if I'm the only person who notices this constant error?

Maybe you people could rate "crap" on a scale of 1 to 10.
