Best Lj School Listing EVAR!!!
And I'm so bummed I didn't think of it myself.
Just keep in mind that the real school will have to be at least three times this size...
While I'm here, I beleive I'll post my one word review of the Family Guy movie: Meh. As we observed during the special features, "mildly amused" pretty much sums it up. Some very funny moments, and a slightly better plot than we often get on the TV. But all in all, I didn't laugh as much as I expected it to do. You'd think people would have learned from South Park that shocking us with vulgarity is fine but it's still absolutley critical that you be funny.
Myself, I only do funny in a casual way. I would never attempt to do it professionally. In all seriousness, I think that comedy writers tend to be more screwed up emotionally than people who do horror. No, I'm not basing this on anything but my own impressions. But I think horror writers (the good ones, not the book equivalent of a slasher movie) are more prone to be introspective. They probably have a better understanding of insanity just because they need it for thier work. Comedy writers, OTOH, are funny to keep from dealing with overwhelming things plaguing them in real life: repression, rage, intense fears, all kinds of crap. I guess I suspect this because that's what I use comedy for in real life, but my writing is totally separate from that. My writing is much more sarcastic than funny, which I guess sarcasm is just wit with a bunch of anger thrown in for good measure. Anyone feel me on this?
