All right... I won't lie... I definitely b.s.'d my way through senior English, mostly because we never had any interesting assignments I could sink my teeth into... yup, and passed with a 98 percent. That's some good b.s. right there.
"He yanked himself free and fled to the kitchen where something huddled against the flooded windowpanes. It sighed and wept and tapped continually, and suddenly he was outside, staring in, the rain beating, the wind chilling him, and all the candle darkness inside lost."

I LOVE CALVIN AND HOBBES!!!!!.....**coughs** OK. Yes. Well, I have to confess: I completely b.s.'d my way through English too. Once I got the hang of what they wanted it was easy LMAO. More than once I've been accused of copying out of a textbook because I sound so much like one (no joke- my teachers kept writing "Is this your own work?!". I used to be called Dictionary at school). Passed pretty well too. But then when I was in my last year I got this tutor who saw RIGHT through me...she helped me to stop b.s.ing and I wrote the best essay I've ever written with her help. Now I'm much better **coughyeahrightcough** When I read my old work its kind of jaw-dropping though. But anyway, I totally get where Calvin is coming from hehe.

That is so hysterical. I totally want one of those.

You gotta love Calvin and Hobbes. Snoopy is another good writer (actually bad writer) who is inspiring to draw from. At least we don't have rejection slips sent to us wrapped around a rock and thrown at the backs of our heads.
*ahem*
MOST of us don't have rejection slips thrown at the back of our head...
lol just kidding. i haven't finished my novel yet so I haven't yet discovered the joy of rejection slips.
