Today you get to lie and write about it. On a separate sheet of paper, free write about things you wish you had done or could do. Mix the possible -- I wish I had visited the Grand Canyon -- with the impossible -- I wish I was invisible. One you are done, begin a story, poem, or essay by claiming that you did do all that you said you wish you had done or could do.
Example: I published a book when I was thirty and it became an international best seller. After that I took up ballet and became an accomplished ballerina in only three weeks. I am appearing at the Met on Saturday. Once the new PGA golf season begins, I am hitting the pro circuit. Those guys had better watch out because I'm taking home the Master's green jacket this year.
This is only a short example. Be sure your example is of a healthy length.

I recently got a full ride to Madison to play Volleyball and Compete in track and filed for them. To celebrate my great accomplishments I took a trip to Hawaii. When I was there I went sky diving. Once I returned home after my trip I decided to join the sky diving team because I enjoyed it so much and within a month I was a professional stunt diver. When I started going to school in Madison they offered me an opportunity to be in a scuba diving class. Once we had completed the class we went to the great barrier ref scuba diving. The coral was so beautiful. I got to swim with fish of all kinds. My accomplishments don't stop here. I was recognized by Madison as an outstanding student and got my name spread across headlines of newspapers all over the country because I was not only a two sport athlete in college, but also an accomplished sky diver.
ReplyDeleteI was cheering at a Colfax football game like I do any old Friday night when a man came up to me. He said to me that I was better then this small town blues and asked me to act in a movie in Hollywood. I couldn't help but squeal and yell YES! The following weeekend, my friends and I, got on a private jet and headed to California. On arrival, there was a limo waiting for us. We cruised around the big city with even bigger smiles on our faces. We hit the beach and many of the shopping malls. We all got a new outfits. I acted in a cheerleading movie that made the billboards. Everyone was talking about it. After the movie awards, I sadly headed back home to Colfax. Once I returned to the school and everyone poppped out of their lockers for a big surprise party! We danced on the cafeteria tables, ran through the hallways, jumped off walls, and simply turned the high school into a rave. Even Mrs. Myers was going crazy by squirting silly string on everyone who walked by. None of the teachers could contain us so they shut down the school for the day. We did not care though. We all got on the super bus and turned it into the party bus. We celebrated all night long with Mountain Dew and sour gummy worms. :)
ReplyDeleteOne day I woke up and found out I could eat sandwiches better than anyone. Then I became a world champion basket weaver. As if I couldn't get any better, I was able to grow the largest apricot in the world and someone bought it for five billion euros. Since I had no use for euros, I built a spaceship for orphans in Peru. Then they went to space and lived there. A few years later, I played the tambourine in a song that just so happened to be in a movie that ranked 43 on IMDB's best movies of all time.
ReplyDeleteSo, one day I was swimming in the ocean with a narwhale. His name was Fred and he was purple. Fred did not like to associate with the other sea animals, they would pick on him because he was purple. Because all the other animals would pick on him, I was his best friend. Fred and I spent all of our time together. We were swimming around, having fun when all of a sudden a shark started to attack us. I was really scared and so was Fred. I looked up towards the surface and I saw a light, it was a submarine with Johnny Depp in it. He had come to save Fred and I. He was my hero! Years later we got married and lived happily ever after. As for Fred, he lived in the pool in the backyard.
ReplyDeleteI was walking to school when a big black SUV pulled up next to me. Justin Bieber got out and told me that the CIA needed my help on a special mission. Then we got on a private jet and traveled to Antarctica. There we saved penguins but only the purple ones. Then we went back to Chicago and ate a dinner of pancakes and raspberries at the top of the Sears Tower. I got a phone call from Harvard and told me that the dean was worried that I was smarter than him and had to give me his job. I turned it down because thats not really my thing. Then I rode horses on a beach with Robert Downey Jr and he gave me his Iron Man costume.
ReplyDeleteOne day, just sitting in my small school in the middle of Wisconsin, a CIA agent from London comes in and asks me to come with him. He doesn't tell me anything, but says that I’m the perfect girl for them. I fly to London in a black windowed helicopter, and on the way there we stop at Area 51 to gas up and eat McDonalds. In London I learn that I will be going to Australia to help rescue the Queens dog Coco Puff. Once in Australia, I am equipped with all the newest gadgets and the CIA dress me up as a homeless person. I walk on the streets of a small Australian town looking for a man named Ella. I find him, use a high tec stun gun and save Coco Puff. Coco Puff and I take jet skis back to London were I am awarded a castle in Canada and a life time supply of Willy Wonka candy.
ReplyDeleteBill Gates came up to me one day, and told me that he wanted me to become the lead designer for the all new computers that Microsoft is coming out with. They are actually so small that you put them in your pocket, and they project onto a pair of sunglasses. You only have to talk to tell it what to do. I couldnt pass up the offer, and flew with him to California, where he gave me a house in the country with a pool, a go-kart track and plenty of hunting land. I also got a ski boat and a bass boat. It was the most amazing thing that ever happened to me!
ReplyDeleteOnce upon a time I invented airplanes. I flew all over the world and I eventually ended up in India. I lived there for 546 days and became very used to bathing in a dirty river. After I left India, I made and underground tunnel that went to Kenosha, Wisconsin. When I was there I I spent most of my money on a yaht and lived on Lake Michigan for a couple years. Right before I went to live on the lake, I legally changed my name to Metta Worldpeace. So after a couple years on the lake some aliens came down and stole my boat so I was just stranded in the water. I decided to swim down as deep as I could go and I my way down I some how grew gills. I found a school of sharks living in Lake Michigan for some reason, and I started living with them. I convinced all my shark bros that fish are friends, not food, so the whole lake lived together in peace. That is the reason I changed my name to Metta Worldpeace; because I went out on the lake to make peace. So after I achieved my goal of making peace, I decided to get out of the lake and get my gills surgically removed. It didn't hurt too bad though. After that, I decided to join a group of friends that called theirselves Brick Squad. My best friend out of all of them was named Waka Flocka Flame. He goes hard in da paint with everything he does. Me and Waka decided to collaborate on a song and we named it Grove Street because thats the street we lived on. Unfortanately, another group of friends that Waka and I weren't part of named Taylor-Friend Group and their best friend named Wiz Khalifa got mad at Waka and killed him. So I decided to try to find a nicer group of friends after that. Thats when I found Brett Favre. Brett and I were BFF's! We decided to get an apartment together and he trainded me to be the greatest quarterback ever(besides him). I went to the NFL and got drafted to the Packers and I took Aaron Rodgers' spot. After a very successful carreer I was inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame and had a happy retirement and rest of my life.
ReplyDeleteI spent this entire summer in a small village in Africa. I rode elephants and played with lions every day. One day, as I was riding my elephant named Jeffrey, I came across a baby dinosaur. I took the dinosaur back to my hut and fed it. The next day the dinosaur was bigger than Jeffrey! The whole village came to see and they made me the leader of their tribe. They called me "The One Who Wakes The Extinct". We named the dinosaur Bob and brought him deep into the jungle. To this day he wonders through Africa, protected by the people of my tribe.
ReplyDeleteOne day, someone had noticed an exceptional design that I had made and asked me if I would desire a classified government job. Certainly, I had plenty of interest, but I couldn't be fully informed of it until I had accepted. I chose to except it, and after I was introduced to the ability of designing radical machines that had seemed more of something from a fiction book than reality, I was brought to classified locations within the vicinity of Area 51. I was told to be able to go outside the box of known science, and that no design was too radical or outlandish to be called impossible! So I began designing things that seemed more of something from a Star Wars movie than that of the modern world, and was paid a very exceptional amount for doing so. In the end, I developed spacecraft and underwater vehicles that are unfathomable to an average mind. I find the only thing to dislike about the occupation I hold, is that I can't tell a soul about the designs, and even if I did, who would believe me?
ReplyDeleteI was pondering the number 42 with Stephen Hawking one day in his living room. We'd been thinking about it for quite some time when I got thristy. I asked Mr. Hawking for a glass of water, and he directed me to the alternate universe in his cupboard where I found a hole in the space-time continuum. The crazy part was that he was all out of clean glasses, so I had to wash one in the sink. The sink didn't actually exist though, as the matter of which it was comprised had gone missing, leaving only a shadow. So after I washed my glass, I filled it with some good ol' dihydrogen monoxide, which was still able to flow from the nonexistent tap. After I returned to the living room, Mr. Hawking said that he was thirsty as well, so I repeated the whole process.
ReplyDeleteSo I was sitting in my treestand getting ready for a great day of hunting. I was seeing loads of deer and I was pretty jacked. Then out of nowhere, a cougar run up my tree and started to maul me. I wasn't sad about it because I speak cougar so I told him to stop. After he stopped, we talked for awhile and realized we were best friends! He felt kind of bad for hurting me so he took me to a hospital where Doctor Phil fixed me. He made me go to rehab so I went with Chubbs(the cougar). The person in charge of rehab was Shaq and he taught me to be tall and then Chubbs and I went on to rule the tall people world forever.
ReplyDeleteToday I woke up in my dorm at UCLA. Like every other day, it was about 80 degrees already. I could feel the California sun beating through my open window. What a great feeling. I got got ready for the day and opened my macbook to check my email. Much to my surprise, I had an email from the band Blink-182 explaining how they wanted to meet up and hang out. Without hesitation, I called the number that was given. I set up a date to hang out with them and went on with my day with an uncontrollable smile on my face. When I met up with my friend on campus she told me that our dance team was going to Spain to participate in a HUGE competition. We both expressed our excitement by screaming loudly and jumping up and down. Soon after that I returned to my dorm room to start packing for our trip.
ReplyDeleteI was relaxing in my dorm at the University of Tennessee one rainy day watching One Tree Hill when I suddenly got a phone call. The number was blocked on the caller idea but I answered it anyway and to my surprise it was Paul Walker. He told me he had watched me play in my basketball game against UConn the other night and wanted to know if I would go to dinner with him later that night. I shrieked yes and started getting ready to go even though I had 4 hours before he was going to pick me up. We went out to this fancy resturant and he paid for me so yes it was considered a date! When he took me back to my dorm, he said we should do this again soon and more often. Then he kissed me and left. I was the happiest girl alive that night!
ReplyDeleteI recently went to the showing of The Price is Right. I was the first one picked in the crowd. I won $200 million. I then moved to California and bought a Bugatti, actually make that five. I then built a mansion for everyone of my family members and bought them all new cars. Next, I traveled abroad and made a ton of new friends. After a few months I sailed back home. On my way I seen some people on an island so I stopped. They were stranded and turns out it was the Gilligan's Island crew. They were in the middle of filming their comeback movie and I got to be one of the main stars. After that, it was a long day so I continued my journey back home. I then got married, had kids, and lived happily ever after.
