finding cohen

student res - tara (robson) says:
ok so the plan is to write a story today while sitting here idle. i have been staring out the window for last hour and i can not think of a story. i think i am trying to hard. how was class?

Admissions - Paul says:
so horrible

Admissions - Paul says:
i wanted to leave at 7;20

student res - tara (robson) says:
oh dear

Admissions - Paul says:
i didn't mind it when we were editing actual writer's first drafts..but we went over those horrible stories and the people were so dumb and i hate discussions anyway...and i started wondering if i could open my veins with my pen

student res - tara (robson) says:
the patchwork postcard stories?

Admissions - Paul says:
so, that Patchwork Postcard story...this one women stared to say how the main character was the "pulse" of the town and on and on

Admissions - Paul says:
finally the teacher said...what were you reading?

student res - tara (robson) says:
ha ha ha

student res - tara (robson) says:
nice to see he slammed it though

Admissions - Paul says:
there was a third story from a doctor...didn't make me cringe...but we are going to be doing more peoples stories..more crap..and discussing..i can't do it

student res - tara (robson) says:
did you say anything? was it a lot of back patting or were people brutal and honest? did anyone cry?

Admissions - Paul says:
no, people were very nice

student res - tara (robson) says:
lame

student res - tara (robson) says:
so you didn't say anything or did you make some shit up like...ummmm yes nice use of the horse...or i like that part in the middle where you ummmm say stuff?

Admissions - Paul says:
though, the horse story people struggled..and when the "writer" said that her broken ungrammatical sentences were supposed to be "poetic" people pounced

student res - tara (robson) says:
ha ha...nice. poetical. jesus christ lady you're killing me

Admissions - Paul says:
then the instructor started taking about humanism

Admissions - Paul says:
and one guy talked about phenomenolgy vs poetics

student res - tara (robson) says:
oh geez here we go

Admissions - Paul says:
and i talked about wanting to kill myself

student res - tara (robson) says:
so that was it, the ship has sailed?

Admissions - Paul says:
so horrible

Admissions - Paul says:
then i started thinking in the middle of the class how i was probably as delusional about my writing as these sad sad people and the rest of the class was even more painful

student res - tara (robson) says:
oh come on now

student res - tara (robson) says:
you are no patchwork postcard

student res - tara (robson) says:
and i take it you still haven't handed yours out?

student res - tara (robson) says:
well i don't know. it is a fine line. i mean if we aren't learning anything then what is the point. i can't even motivate myself to write anything, the problem is that some time ago i decided i would no longer be a quitter cause my whole life i was one and i hated it. so now if i stop going i will feel all tangled inside. but i might get over it. still...sigh

Admissions - Paul says:
do an msn story

student res - tara (robson) says:
the problem is whenever i think of a story i want to write it is sad and i don't want to write another sad story, i want to write something funny and light.

student res - tara (robson) says:
what is that?

Admissions - Paul says:
messenger

Admissions - Paul says:
just cut and paste our dazzling conversation

student res - tara (robson) says:
ha ha...classic

student res - tara (robson) says:
and people will say wow! rivetting and inventive. i liked the voyeuristic aspect of it

student res - tara (robson) says:
like i was really inside your head
