Messages - Giggle Tail

Giggle sat on a bench in the middle of town square, enjoying his day off from work and brainstorming ideas for his next story.

There's a secret to not hating school.... It's called going to college.  Then, you study what you enjoy studying.  Yeah, there are still GE's, but it's so worthwhile to have the classes that you never got to focus on earlier... Like Russian literature, or Colonial American history, or underwater basketweaving..... (Okay, so that last one might be a stretch, but I'm sure you could find it somewhere.)  Shoot, in Cambridge and Oxford there are classes on Quenya (Tolkien's Elvish).  You can really just go crazy studying what you enjoy... depending on the school, naturally.  Smaller campuses often mean less variety... but also a happier wallet.

Anyway, back on topic:
Once upon a time, my Colonial American history prof. decided to help us understand "conceptually" what Cortez meeting the Aztecs must have been like... So he told us he would play a movie which best explained first contact: "Mars Attacks!" He then frankly admitted to us that actually, he just liked being weird, and had some free-ish time in the lesson plan, so we watched clips of aliens attacking the earth, and called it good. 

(This might not be the funniest, in my opinion, but most of the others are very... department specific, making for great fun with people who understand the period, and blank stares from everyone else...)



In response to the first part: I still hate school, and I'm in college (as I said before).  Though there is generally some truth to that.  It's just that my major is children's literature, which is more designed to make you critical than to help you be a better writer  :l


In response to the second part:  lol sounds kind of like my highschool science teacher.  Half the time we just watched episodes of Myth Busters in his classes because he didn't have any lesson ideas :P

Though again, on the bright side, it's so incredibly terrible it's hilarious :P

Especially that second episode I saw......so many things wrong with it.......

Giggle perks up at the sound of the announcement.  The voice giving it sounds....familiar.

".......He's the CAPTAIN now?!?!"

"Giggle Tail.  Nice to meet you."

I'm only part-way through the video "Bronies Watch MLP: Newborn Cuties" and I agree already  :I

On the other hand, it's actually easy to laugh at how bad it is  lol

Giggle takes his comic book, then remains silent due to a combination of shyness and socially-awkwardness.

Really?  Huh.....Learn something new every day.

I'm still in college, so I'm not out of the woods yet myself.  Thankfully after so many years of practice (plus some lessons learned from watching so much of ponies  ovO) I've gotten really good at not conforming :P

Giggle really doesn't know how to respond to that.

Personally, I'm with what seems to be the majority opinion that season 2 was just as awesome (if not more-so) as season 1.  Though again, my opinion.

On a lighter note.....

PONIES PONIES PONIES PONIES PONIES  ovO  :D

Giggle is still a little uneasy from the words "used to."

Giggle gulps nervously.

I'd seriously just want it to have everything that made G4 so truly awesome.  Which is why, again, my hope is they learn from G4 if they make a G5.

(still making up the title, but she would see it's a children's comic book of some kind  X3)

Giggle hesitates, but after failing to come up with a good excuse to not show it to her, he sighs and hands it over.
