In my Careers course I voiced an opinion other than the teacher's and spoke out against the idiocy of the entire course. That earned me a 46% which was just barely pushed to a passing 50%. Hmmm.... 1984.

I did poorly in Planning, which is the equivalent of Careers. But that's because I wrote stupid answers on purpose.

I didn't do my homework (falling under "speaking out against the idiocy of the entire course" and not "the Jake syndrome" or quote unquote "laziness") and when I was required to do homework because of importance to the course, I did it in such a unique way that she failed me. This happened twice, on two pointless, incredibly hard and demanding, and totally personal assignments. In one we were required to make a road map metaphor of our lives, and three possible ways our lives might end. Most people made giant 3-D maps with colour and stuff, but I did all mine with a pencil and piece of printer paper, but I did it in a different way than they did, and frankly, all of theirs were the same. Colourful and boring.
36%.
Then, for the 'summative' (which normally is used in combination with the final exam to make up for 20% of the final grade, but in the case of numb courses like Planning/Careers, there's no exam, so it's worth like 20%) she asked us to do a ridiculous amount of work in two weeks and I planned this totally amazing presentation which wasn't what she asked for, and it included a speech which broke the fourth wall and was artsy and shoved sh*t in my teacher's face, and she asked me to present a day early than she earlier said, so I didn't have it memorized, so she gave me a 0%.
f**k you Molnar.
f**k you.

So I was supposed to like, learn the basic endings by the end of freshman year, and the less basic ones by the end of sophomore year, and most of the verb tenses by the end of junior year, but I never really learned any of them so I just got further and further from being able to communicate but I didn't fall asleep in class so I was in the top third of the class in participation so I got an A.

Really, I did most if not all of that in first year and the rest in second year. Needless to say, I loved that class.

Me and a friend did a project like this, except it was a movie (you saw a clip on Facebook as 'Bullying') and we basically just mocked the entire project and we used a ton of comedy torture and subtle profanities and I died like 4 times but the teacher gave us 100% and wanted to use it to show other classes in later years.

Well considering the script I was writing turned into a novel and even in script format would be unfilmable without a giant budget and trained professional crew, I think we oughta start with a script.
I think it should be an oddly dramtic, almost film-noir style narrative, doused with rediculous nonsensical surrealism, with extremely witty humour very subtly folded in so that only the most intelligent of viewers will laugh at the absurdity.
"Are you sure that's your skunk, Miss Feldman?"
"My skunk was a goldfish, Doctor Euler."
"That's mister Euler, Miss Feldman, I didn't spend 10 years at medical school for nothing."
Something with absolutely no plot.

The only problem is that both of my filming cameras are pretty bad, so I don't know what I'll do about that. Maybe my new digital has short clip filming or something, I haven't messed with it.

I figured we would like collaborate on the script but I would film the majority, especially if I get a fancy HD camera. Except my friends are either lame drug addicts who can't act or boring squares who can't act. I could act all the parts, though. Or, if he has a decent camera, Dan could play all the female characters and I the rest or something.
But script first.
I think we should write it in a sort of "silly story, one sentence at a time, go around the circle, kind of way. Maybe a thread on last/fm for it? Whuddya think fellas?

Sure, last.fm thread sounds good. As long as we don't get too ridiculous/stupid with our anti-plot it should be good.
