Story #10

Posted by Mckelly Timothy in Storytelling - Chase on Thursday, February 17, 2011 at 7:19 am

On my last trip home I  lost my arm, I don’t know why or how.

I missed out on a year of my life

After so much worrying, the police finally released Kevin. He came top the hospital, it was nice to know that I didn’t lose him along with my arm.

I screamed and cried as I explained to the police that Kevin didn’t belong in the hospital. They thought that I was just in shock from what happened to my arm as they tried to understand and figure out how I lost my arm.

“How did you hurt your arm?” they asked.  “Who hurt you?” I was stuck on the words they used: Hurt. They acted as if my arm wasn’t missing. Didn’t they see it was missing.

“It was an accident.” I yelled. “An Accident.”

They started nagging me about Kevin. Their words went in one ear and out the other.

I took a long pause when they finished speaking. I yelled once more “It was an accident, Kevin did not hurt me. Get out and let me see him”

Love Stories

Posted by Karen Brown in Storytelling - Chase on Thursday, February 17, 2011 at 7:18 am

Happy Story:

I stand in a crowd and see nothing but grey figures around me.  Because the only one that matters is you, let's be together forever.

Tragic Story: I stand in a crowd and see nothing but darkness.  I'm alone and I can't find you.  I want you to know, "I miss you"

Italy!

Posted by Davonte Martin in Storytelling - Chase on Thursday, February 17, 2011 at 4:56 am

That's amore:Dean Martin

"When the moon hits you eye like a big pizza pie

That's amore
When the world seems to shine like you've had too much wine
That's amore
Bells will ring ting-a-ling-a-ling, ting-a-ling-a-ling
And you'll sing "Vita bella"
Hearts will play tippy-tippy-tay, tippy-tippy-tay
Like a gay tarantella

When the stars make you drool just like a pasta fazool
That's amore
When you dance down the street with a cloud at your feet
You're in love
When you walk down in a dream but you know you're not
Dreaming signore
Scuzza me, but you see, back in old Napoli
That's amore"

I've Been, I am, But I Want...

Posted by Lenea Harris in Storytelling - Chase on Wednesday, February 16, 2011 at 9:56 pm

I've been a writer. I started writing when I was 12. They were little poems that followed the AB pattern and rhymed every other line. I never invested the time to develop an advanced vocabulary so the poems consisted of overused words, but they were my poems. They were my thoughts in 12, or 14, or 24 sized font. And I cherished each poem that I started, whether I completed them or not; because they were my poems. They were my thoughts in black, or, blue, or pink ink on white paper. Those poems turned into short stories, which very quickly turned into never- ending stories.   

I am a writer. I haven't written a poem in months; but I work on my novels daily. I've added a few words to my vocabulary, but not many. The stories still seem never ending; written in pure dramatization and ending abruptly. I save any deleted content and value everything. Because these stories or scenes, are my escape into a life that I have created. A life that has been stuffed onto a 13- inch screen, but can never be limited in words, font size, or font color.

But I've never shared anything with anyone outside my comfort zone. It may seem strange my comfort zone includes people that I don't interact with physically on a day- to- day basis. I've shared my creations online or through email. I've sent 100 pages of imagination to people that live in Oklahoma, or Chicago. But when my best friend since 10th grade asks me to send him something, I get nervous. I anticipate judgement. 

I am a writer; I've been a writer. But I want to be a publisher.

Another Story

Posted by Alexandra McGrorty in Storytelling - Chase on Wednesday, February 16, 2011 at 9:48 pm

I don't think I have much to write really, so this story will be kind of lame. Anyway, I started my Capstone today which is teaching an 8th grade class about medical history. We started with osteology. I was panicking all week because when I went to introduce myself last week I was pathetic and could barely figure out what to say when put on the spot in front of the class. It kind of discouraged me and made me not want to go back, but I felt like I was too deeply committed to be able to back out of it now. 

However, this class went fantastic. Everything literally fell into place and all the students actually seemed interested, even taking notes and yelling at me if I went too fast for them to write. It was insane and awesome at the same time.

The Real Me

Posted by Onjelique Jackson in Storytelling - Chase on Wednesday, February 16, 2011 at 8:39 pm

I am suppressed. The real me. The me that hops up and down and waves my arms and pumps my fist and calls it dancing. The real me that cranks the music up to the point where my thoughts are just backdrop sounds that hop to the beat of the music as well. The me that believes music is life. That creativity is life. The me that used to believe that every writer should have a tattered leather bond journal that has the word “journal” in cursive on the front. It says I am mysterious, and well, I’m a writer. The me that usually hesitates to turn the corner in the case that I bump someone so hard that we nearly fall to the ground and my cool facade will be broken and I’ll be humiliated for life. The me that observes my friends and actually wonder if we’ll grow old together and still find that Spongebob and Patrick are funny even in our mid-eighties. I am suppressed because no one told me that it was okay to be myself. I don’t mean the sappy children shows that’s about Suzy finally gaining friends because she got the courage to ask to play blocks with the other children and that act alone defines her “individuality” as a child. No. No one has ever told me that it’s okay to not actually know how to dance like the video girls or the celebrities that dance in super exclusive VIP darkrooms in mega-VIP clubs in the heart of Hollywood or New York City. No one has ever told me that is okay not to have long flowy hair that permanently smells like strawberries and champagne. No one ever told me that it’s okay to not actually enjoy taste of beer and cigarettes at huge party that you don’t really feel comfortable in. If I had have known that it was okay to be the ordinary girl who knows how to just be herself, who is not really a party girl, who has an unrealistic dream to be a real writer with a real career, the girl who reads 20 books within a month and somehow manages to have some sort of social life; If would have known this, I would have found out who the real Onjelique was a long time ago. However, in retrospect, it’s better late than never.

The Perfect Day

Posted by Marjorie Moreno in Storytelling - Chase on Wednesday, February 16, 2011 at 8:35 pm

Today was the perfect day! I went to Colgate University, I went shopping, and I ate ice-cream [chocolate and cream] … It was awesome! I got home at around 9:00 pm and I noticed that I’ll have a quiz tomorrow [I haven’t yet study] I have 3 assignments to do. It is crazy! I’m probably going to stay up all night studying for the quiz. Well at least I can say that today was a perfect day [from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m.]

What do people think of me?

Posted by Robert Glynn in Storytelling - Chase on Wednesday, February 16, 2011 at 8:12 pm

​One day last summer at work, a woman came up and ordered her food and then asked me to sing her something. I don't remember the words she used, but I gave her a confused look, and she said, "Oh come on, anything? You look like a theatrical person. I am a theatrical person, and I can usually spot other theatrical people." I honestly did not know how to respond. I shook my head and just said, "No. I can't sing." She was a little disappointed. I can't blame her, she sort of went out on a limb to just come up and ask someone something like that, though she was probably a little drunk anyway.

Looking back on it, I should have said something about playing the piano for 9 years. However, I certainly do not consider myself any type of theatrical person at all. I hate performing and I hate being on stage and getting all of that attention and being looked at by everyone at the same time. It makes me nervous and anxious and stressed and my hands sweat a lot. But it also got me thinking of all of the hundreds of people I interact with every day at my job and how each one probably judges me even in that short period of time of interaction. I wonder what all of the other people think of me...

I look like a Korean idiol?

Posted by Perry Woods in Storytelling - Chase on Wednesday, February 16, 2011 at 7:27 pm

 I shuffled through my iTunes till my favorite song blasted out my ears as Park Bom sang loudly opening lines "YOU AND I TOGETHER IT JUST FEELS SO RIGHT". I turned down the volume and looked at the screen. It was ironic that a person me and my friend were debating about came on my iTunes. I clicked back on to here box she went on aruging.
"You totally look like her"
"I do not she is korean"
"You have the same nose"
"I have my mother's nose"
"Your eyes are the same"
"Eh I doubt it"
-she sent a picture to me-
"See you look the same"
"You seriously think so?"
"Yes"
"Well I dunno..."

After that argument almost a year ago you can say I am convinced that at times we look a tiny bit alike. But not always it is just a bit a those random moments.

Best Day In A Long Time

Posted by Jennifer Albright in Storytelling - Chase on Wednesday, February 16, 2011 at 6:51 pm

Today, for what seemed like the first time in years but had actually only been a few weeks I chilled with my best friend after school. It lasted three hours, and it was wonderful. I had an awful feeling in the pit of my stomach all day when I hadn't seen her because we had no classes together and I hadn't seen her in the morning because I had gym class downstairs. So, when I finally met her at our locker I got extremely happy and smiled my brightest grin, and then I found out she was going to spend time with me. Needless to say, I was more excited than I have been in a long time because we almost never hang out anymore. So, today was a good day.
