Not an essay! [02 Oct 2005|09:08pm]
I wrote this for creative writing.

Teen angst! [26 Apr 2005|12:34pm]
This article is on teen angst. Before reading it, there is one note that I must make, and that is this:

I acknowledge that not all teen angst is unwarranted. Occasionally, somebody's life really does suck major amounts of ass. I don't really care enough to sympathise most of the time, but I do understand. This article is not for you. This article is for all the stupid fuckers.

A very rough draft of an essay that I am writing for Film as Lit. [04 Mar 2005|10:47pm]
This particular essay is not caustic like everything else I've written here. In fact, it barely firs in with this journal at all. But I need a place to put it so that I can get some critique, so I figured that this was my best bet. It should be noted that this is very rough and I wrote it in under an hour without checking anything but my spelling.

“Moveie thetrs r hard 2 undrstnd” [31 Oct 2004|09:07pm]
As some of you may well know, I have been working at a movie theatre for the past two months. I was hoping to emerge from my first work experience as an enlightened person (in some way,) but instead I have gained just one important piece of knowledge: For the general population of a town unnamed to protect its identity*, movie theaters are incredibly difficult to understand. I feel the pain of this town, and have taken the liberty of writing them a letter.

An essay on the religious. [05 Sep 2004|08:31pm]
This essay arose out of what was essentially a bet with myself. You see, I have a particular disdain for religious zealots, and typically find myself incapable of writing anything directed at them without being extremely rude about it. This was my way of proving that I could be eloquent while still addressing a general public that I typically can't stand.

An mini-essay on love. [30 Jul 2004|12:46am]
For this essay, I owe much credit to Sumner. When asked to generate possible topics for writing, he managed to come up with one I deemed actually usable in a matter of seconds. Though not any prize-winner, (I wrote it in literally under a half an hour,) this essay is probably a lot more enjoyable to read than last week's. This is because it takes a significantly less antagonistic viewpoint, instead simply expressing the views of the author.

An essay on femininity. [21 Jul 2004|10:31pm]
It should be noted, before you read this essay, that I'm not nearly as bigotted as you probably think. This entire thing is a work of satire, and should be taken as such. It has also been livejournal-cut for your convenience. Thank you, and enjoy.

Essays by Laura! [04 Jan 2004|10:42pm]
Okay, so this journal was originally intended for song lyrics. That all went to hell when I stopped writing them. I do, however, write essays quite frequently. So now it's more of a place for me to "publish" my essays. Don't take anything I say too seriously, please. :)
