"This is written in a rollicking and knowing style that makes the reader complicit in its absurdities. The dialogue - which you use judiciously - raises a smile. What fun"


The above is what I got written on my returned assignment for the screenwriting part of my degree, complete with a first. Hooray! I want to be a scriptwriter when I grow up.


(Sorry, but I've run out of real life people to show this to, having thrust it in the face of every living thing in the Wales area.)

You raised someone's smile! Thats megally cool! Gosh...my experiment write ups never raise smiles. :( Where am I going wrong?
Going along the same lines of running out of people to show things: http://i5.tinypic.com/4hivz2h.jpg I had eye sex with this guy many a time.
P.S. Well done on the 1st! Was this the film script set in Las Vegas?

Congratulations on the first!

PS - It pains me to say that as me and my friends tend to be the ones who pass notes about nerdboys like you! Yes, we pass notes at my university. Yes, it used to be polytechnic. (Coincidence?)

Uma - Who is that? Is it a younger Paulo Nuitini? He is very beautiful (when he hides his fish teeth). Yup, that was the shoddy script script in question. Perhaps you should set your lab experiments in different locations, and perhaps have a wacky character conducting them. And colour in the diagrams. Perhaps with those scented wax crayons. Yes. Dooo it.

James in Brackets - I'm not a nerdboy! I did the whole thing in the 15 or so hours before it was meant to be handed in. Red Bull gave me wings. You shouldn't pass notes. I'm always scared they'll fall into the wrong hands and make us look evil. Whispering is the best way,

Ah but whispering draws more attention. We tend to get evils shot at us or, every so often, someone turns round and tells to shut up because they're to learn. Fucking losers.

I still have the note telling me I'm 'a pretty gay' on my wall. Part of me assumes they meant I'm not slightly gay, I'm pretty gay.

SO. You could say your first was cos of me? Right? Not that I'd want to steal your thunder or anything...
Scented wax crayons? :O Hypnotising ones! To make the ol' professors do everything I say!!! Not that I want them to do much...well not all of them anyway ;)
I'm gonna shut up now.
Bye Gee x

Another singer songwriter type? You're like the patron saint of rubbish popstars! I'm the patron saint of failed popstars.

Tell why I owe my first to you... I seem to remember you haing something to do with where I set it actually. Anyway whatever you did surely had o bearing on my finished mark. It probably even caused a few to be knocked off..
