...BURBA, I (randomly) want to remind you how grateful I am to have someone like you as my big sister. I know how stressed you are with all your med stuff but I bet you a million pesos that you can do it. I know you, you are not a quitter – where you can still manage to have the biggest genuine smile despite the heavy load of things you’re going through. It can be honestly really tough sometimes seeing you come home, stressed because of am or pm duties and that, I can’t do anything “big” about it I’m really sorry I piss you off (most of the time) – (sometimes you’re bitch, i know you know that) I know you know how much I do care and love you despite it all. I’m lucky enough to see you become the woman you are – independent (yet still sensitive), witty and intelligent. This seems quite embarrassing but you’re one of my role models in life. Let’s face it, I know you more than anyone else does ( this is true ) I know that you always have something right to say about everything. You love exploring – being so curious about the world. You hate PDA. You always forget about that mole on the upper left of your mouth. You like Xavier but you don’t know if it’s the right time to. You have the deepest depth of thoughts-it’s like a Mariana Trench. You like insulting me. You love everything Japanese – and white chocolate. You have this habit of looking sideways instead of straight. You’re always there for a friend or family, they’ll always be a priority. You’re insecure about your little mutli-talented...

...*For the purpose of this paper, I will be ignoring the events of the Holocaust, for it is the creation of an insane man and overshadows and corrupts the merit of an otherwise fully functioning and proactive government. The creation of Totalitarianism, and its application in government in the early 20th century, was a necessary evil and one which prevented a greater future tragedy by its rescue of the German nation, and in a greater sense the global stabilization which it provided. You see, this is how all this shit went down. Me and my boy Olivander was straight ridin' down the main road through downtown Who-The-Fuck-Knows-Where, when all of a sudden these fuckin hoodlums run up on us and tryta gank our asses. My boy Olivander thinks just like me. He knows I wusn't gonna take this shit, and I knew he wasn't gonna take this shit. So we both go back to back fuckin matrix style, whip out our gats, and cap these muthafuckin scum bags right there. Right there is the fuckin alley. Then we searched these bitches and found a shitload of coupon to T.G.F. Fridays. So we fuckin snatched them coupons, bitch that owned em was fuckin dead anyway, and we hopped in my whip and took off at a rapid pace, right after we found the closest fridays on Olivander's TomTom. Ya dig? So we fuckin blazed across town like a mutha fuckin bullet and made it to the Fridays fifty miles away in fifteen minutes. An absofuckinlutely outrageous pace.

...RS to OP: I’m not 100% sure why I’m sitting down to type you a message first but perhaps it says a lot about what’s going on here. Today was one of my best friend’s engagements and I wanted to stay longer I was enjoying myself but it’s over now. You have picked on me incessantly since you got back from CT and I understand that you are sick but it’s nasty. Yesterday wasn’t nice for either of us but we managed to pull through and communicate well enough to show our care for each other isgreater than the drama that attacked us. I was not flirting with anyone today. I feel sick that you suggested that and that you made a scene at the table and made us leave early. I’m terribly disappointed in how the day ended and how you left me. We are living in a double standard relationship where you can be mad about how I deal with stuff when you are very quick to act cold and offish when you’re unhappy. Every 5 seconds I hear how you dated another chick. You really have dated a lot of people yet you get upset if I mention ONE funny story with a long term boyfriend. I do everything to make you happy and to not say anything to rock the boat with u. You do everything to throw tantrums in front of people. I have been upset by you for 2 days now. I’m so upset I left Darren’s party earl. SO upset. I can’t get that day back. I’m scared of you sometimes and how u snap at me and of how you will react to me. You make me happy 90% of the time and I think we are amazing together but I am not some other...

There are empty seats on either side of her. The other seats are taken. A garbled train announcement comes over the public address system. ALL THE PEOPLE WAITING for the train strain their ears to make sense of the announcement, but it's just gibberish. They all look at each other as if to say, "Wha?" Nobody gives it much further thought. They continue reading, chatting, listening to Walkmans. Somewhat down the platform, JOEY and FREDDY are going through the turnstiles. Their conversation is well in progress. They make their way down the platform toward the bench. We don't hear what they're saying because...

Meanwhile Jeff and Joey sit on the couch under blankets watching TV, eating popcorn. BRICE Margaret! So nice to see you found our place. MARGARET Of course I found it! You can run but you’ll never hide. Jeff and Joey roll eyes. BRICE Ha, that’s my Margaret. Except let’s keep the creepy talk for our rehearsal shall we? Margaret looks confused. BRICE Gentlemen meet Margaret, Margaret, meet Jeff and Joey aka our audience for this evening. Brice grabs the TV remote and turns off the TV. Jeff and Joey are not pleased.

...A Simple Exchange of Niceties The narrator is a teenage girl whose view of herself and others definitely is critically bad. She starts telling the story about herself, without mentioning anything good at all. She kind of demeans herself by using the words “trashy whore,” which she was called by the father of her child. She mentions these words a couple of times in the story, and it seems like she doesn’t see herself as anything, like when she says: ”I’m bad news,” or “I’ve never done anything with my life. I’m not going to amount to anything, it’s not like I’m going to find a decent bloke and get married.” However about other people she isn’t positive neither. She has many prejudices, like of the woman with the bottle of water. She calls the old lady’s action of joining her on the bench, without asking: “Do you mind?” or “May I?” for bad manners. She simply doesn’t like other people, which she shows by telling the woman that her mother doesn’t love her, what she surely does, and by saying that being alone isn’t the worst thing at all. The bench is very precious to the girl, and it means a lot to her. She considers it her property, and has always thought of the bench as her own bench. The reason why she chose exactly that bench, and not one of the other hundreds in the park is, that it’s the one just to the left of the big duck pond. Because it’s comfortable and doesn’t have stats that protrudes into your back. Simply because it’s the best bench in the park, and she have spend...
