Well, that was interesting.

So I decided to get something useful accomplished today, and actually go through a few of my boxes and whatnot. Ended up choosing to sort my schoolwork box from High School (is it strange that suddenly that seems so very far away now?) and found a few precious gems of amusement therein. I don't know how I got away with some of the things I did as assignments, really, but the combination of practicality and imagination was certainly unmatched before or since. XD

In particular, I've found a few random doodles or phrases here and there, most of which I won't share because the doodles were connected to the randomness. However, there's one piece of paper that actually made me laugh out loud, in that "Dude, what the hell was I thinking, but that's funny.." sort of way.

It's labeled "Homework #10 - "Story Sketches" - 2-26-03" and there's only one item on the sheet. Directly copied, no corrections or changes made:

"1. Emily woke up hungry, but waited for French Toast to be ready, and got hungrier. She ate French Toast, and was no longer hungry. (French Toast wasn't so happy about being eaten, but that's a whole other story.)"


And here I sit, staring in a bemused fascination. What was the assignment, anyways? Where on earth did that come from? Yet it's so very me that I can't help but get a kick out of it. I felt a need to share it with y'all, as just one of those flashback moments to who I used to be, yanno?

Maybe I'll find more interesting things later. Better get back to work. *Grin.*

I envy you beign able to enjoy your old work. Everytime i see anythiong i wrote i cringe at the horrible fan fiction i wrote. Of course i'm more pained by the fact i thought it was good...

Luckily most of this wasn't my crappy fanfiction. Though I've certainly seen that stuff too.. My older stuff sometimes makes me cringe too, but I can still appreciate some of the stories I tried to put into it. The technical writing is often good but I didn't know how to use the description and such sometimes. Too much show, not enough tell. Or just that the writing was bland. It's always interesting to weed through it and see what's slavageable, for me. =]
