There are dragons in the Bible. Interesting. I could do something with this...

TASK 001 - "WRITE ABOUT A CHILDHOOD MEMORY"

Ten year old Andrew couldn't believe he'd let his parents talk him in to this stupid camping trip with his stupid boy scouts chapter. Hey, it was bad enough they made him join boy scouts in the first place. The shrink said joining the boy scouts would help him make friends, become more sociable, but if anything, it had just made him hate people more. Well, he didn't hate everyone. He liked Johnny. Johnny was cool, but his parents didn't make him do stupid shit like this. Johnny was in bed right now, or playing video games with his brother. He wished Johnny were here. 

After lying there for a little longer, he decided he couldn't stand it any more. Sam McGee wouldn't stop farting, he was bored, and he couldn't even read because he had no source of light. Completely determined to get out of the tent, Andrew decided to go for a walk. Sure, he'd be in trouble if he got caught, but he didn't care much. He shuffled around for his boots and parka as well as his sweater he'd warn during the day, putting it over his pyjamas for extra warmth, and crept out of the tent.

It actually seemed warmer out here than it did in the tent. Luckily, Andrew's tent was on the edge of the camp site, so he only had to take a couple of steps before he was at the fence that separated him and the forest. After he'd managed to climb over, he decided against going for a walk, he didn't have a torch, and... bears. He didn't feel like wrestling bears today.

Instead, he sat back against a tree, not straying to far from the fence, but he wish he had a torch and bravery. He loved forests. They reminded him of Lord of The Rings and Robin Hood which was his favourite story when he was younger. He imagined himself running off deep in to the forest and slaying beasts and returning with a prize carcass that all of his fellow knights (the other boy scouts) would envy, and the king (the scout leader) would honour him (give him a patch so his parents would get off his back about 'not engaging in scouts'). Andrew did this, sometimes. Escaped in to this little fantasy world that mirrored what was happening in the real world. It helped him feel less alone.

Bro, I know many guys, but thanks for the offer anyhow. I’m trying to cut back on the whole weed smoking thing for a friend of mine.

[ar-pierce]

Whatever, man. I don't even smoke the stuff. And that's nice of you. I don't have many friends to give up my vices for.

[jfcboo-deactivated20131227]

I’m Bethany, but everyone calls me Boo. Yours?

[ar-pierce]

Andrew. Call me Drew, if you want. I don't know.

[lucentwaters-deactivated2015061]

I came here to write shit and smoke weed and I’m all out of weed. I guess it’s time to step up my writing game.

[ar-pierce]

I know a guy, if you need more weed.

[jfcboo-deactivated20131227]

There’s always a first time for everything.

[ar-pierce]

Uh, I guess. What's your name, anyway?

[ar-pierce]

@piercea: Re-watch Game of Thrones season 3 or actually write something of value? hmm.

it's that simple? I thought I was missing something jfc I feel silly now oops

[ar-pierce]

I don't understand how the tweets work can someone explain om

[jfcboo-deactivated20131227]

I like you, stranger. We should be friends.

[ar-pierce]

I'm not big on 'friends'.

[jfcboo-deactivated20131227]

You can always try.

[ar-pierce]

I'll start on the blueprints. 

[jfcboo-deactivated20131227]

Why don’t you sit down and try to invent something that will do exactly that?

[ar-pierce]

I'm a writer, not a mechanic. Although, I suppose the two go hand in hand, in a way.

[jfcboo-deactivated20131227]

But I’m too lazy. And it’s cold.

[ar-pierce]

Unfortunately, Science has not yet advanced to the stage where we can materialize hot beverages out of nothing. My life would be a lot easier if they did. So for now, it's either go get one, or sit around complaining about it.

[jfcboo-deactivated20131227]

It’s freezing and all I want is a nice steaming cup of hot cocoa.

[ar-pierce]

Then get one.
