Welcome to Bachville - Population: you
Last night, I spent four or five hours sitting around with two of my friends, listening to Funk and old Beatles LPs, sewing Link costumes, and eating Hawaiian pizza.

It saved me from the confusion and horror of last period English, during which my teacher told me that my writing style was "so awkward!"
And I still don't know what he was talking about, because when I asked him, he said he'd tell me later, and when I asked him later, he said he'd tell me on Monday.

I write 1500 to 3000 words a day and every one seems to know what I'm going on about, so I am utterly mistified as to what problems he had with my assignment.

Van Helsing is still the crappiest movie in the face of the planet, btw.
The acting sucks, and the plot sucks, and the characters suck, and the monster design sucks, and the humour sucks, and the "plot twists" suck, and the ending sucks, and the music sucks, and the weapons suck, and the fact that Anna died at the end for no reason whatsoever is pretty stupid, too.

As is the entire "omfg draculas babies r coming!!!111one111" bit.

How could vampires possibly have babies, and why wouldn't they at least be humanoid? And why would they hatch from sacks/pods that hang from the ceiling?

After some discussion on this topic with Vince and some other people you don't know, it has been determined that vampires cannot have babies!!!!!!!!!

And even if they could, Van Helsing's a bastard for a sploding them into green goo like that.

I want a synthesizer so I can make dance re-mixes of all of Bach's greatest hits, along with the Pachelbel Canon, Winter, and some other equally-celebrated works.

Because techno is so not dead.

I got an idea for another short story, so I'll ask you guys for some help:

What do you think defines humanity, on a universal scale?

If aliens came to Earth, what would they be impressed/mistified by? Would they be as different from us as we like to think? Or is there something uniquely weird about the species homo sapien sapien that would set us apart?
