Hmm Updates

So I feel bad for never updating this, though I feel that currently it has no common viewers. The reasons for no new updates are, well, I haven't had much to put here. Plus I have been busy, with what? School, multiple forms of it. From play, to the college hunt, to crazy changes.

Anyhow in fantastic news I was accepted to Knox College. Plus a $10,000 renewable scholarship if I go there. I also sent in an application for Hope College in Michigan, they are sending back the first results Dec. 15th so I should hear from them after that. I think I am going to stick with just applying to those two colleges. I am more the happy to go to either one. Deciding is going to be the problem.


So anyhow back to the blog. I have somethings to update this with, I also think I am going to take down the Sewers Of Change Story it is not made for a blog, and I lack the HTML skills to make it into a sort of website. I may pull excerpts from it however. So hopefully I can get back on track with updates. Oh and if you do read this, feel free to comment, it is nice knowing someone is there, and I enjoy constructive criticism.

Finally, for those out there who wish to know what I am doing at every waking moment. It is finding out how my day was, without actually asking it. You can check out my twitter account www.twitter.com/tonuchi

Corwin and the Magic Toliet Paper Roll

I believe this was written in 11th grade for creative writing. The assigment was to tell a story about your childhood. 

Corwin and the Magic Toliet Paper Roll

It was a staple in my household when I was younger to have what is known as the craft box. Said box was filled with every little thing my mother saw fit from bits of string, colored paper to glow in the dark sticker sheets. It was from this box that my brother, Emman saw to make a smoke bomb. Now being quite young and having no real idea of the basics of pyrotechnics my brother’s smoke bomb was fairly simple. He had filled a used toilet paper roll completely with flour then covered the ends with paper and finally stuck a piece of string through the top for a fuse.  

So the bomb was made and showed off to the friends of the apartment. We all thought it was brilliant but realized that when you are less than 10 years old there is really no reason for one to have a smoke bomb. So after a bit of brainstorm the plan came into effect to trick the neighborhood idiot, Corwin. Now unlike the rest of the kids we normally hung out with in my apartment, Corwin lived two houses down. He was always coming up with one way or another to try to get the girls of my apartment to kiss him but it never worked and would usually backfire. 

The plan was simple the three girls in the apartment, my sister Michelle and the two girls who lived downstairs Nichole and Stephanie would dress up in genie esque attire, which was also used during our home made performance of Disney’s Aladdin where I played the role of the Sultan, and they would hide behind the big tree in the backyard. My brother would then set off his smoke bomb next to the tree and out would pop the girls to trick Corwin. My role in the whole thing was to make sure Corwin would never advance far enough to see the girls behind the tree. So we put the plan into action and as the girls hid behind the tree trying their best not to giggle, my brother lit a match and put it to the fuse of his McGiver smoke bomb. Lighting flour smoke bombs in attempts to make and explosion is as pointless as playing catch with Stevie Wonder. However my brother didn’t give up just yet. In an act of desperation he picked up and threw the toilet paper roll at the tree with such force that the contents exploded everywhere. So when the dust settled all Corwin saw were three genies.

Doing an impressive job as genies the three girls semi danced their way forward to Corwin while my brother and I tried our bests not to laugh. Corwin was completely dumbfounded, whether it was the makeshift bomb or the elaborate costumes, he fell completely for it. So then of course was the time for wishes. The three “genies” asked him his request and to what should have been no surprise he immediately asked to kiss the genies. We had no plan for this but, thanks to the cunning wits of the girls and our extensive knowledge of Aladdin and therefore the rules of genies, he was told that genies cannot grant wishes of love and the three girls scurried quickly inside leaving Corwin shocked and utterly disappointed

A New Way

Thanks to some great advice from a friends father I have decided to start a blog filled with my creative writings and other writings. Mostly this is to test out a public opinion on my stories and get a feel for what works and doesn't work. I plan on uploading stories from high school along with writing original pieces weekly to keep me practicing. I have thousands of ideas and here I feel I can finally put them to good use.

A bit about me- I am 17 and a senior at a small highschool in Minnesota. Ever since I was little I have been building elaborate stories in my head and depending on my age put them to use, mostly in the form of playing with Legos and little homemade comics. With my passion for art I had seen myself maybe growing up to be a cartoon/comic creator. It wasn't until 10th grade during a creative writing class that I realized that more than art, I had loved creating the stories behind it. I have since settled on a career in creative writing. From there I plan to take my abilities and write for Video Games, Movies, Televison and hopefully write a few books or short stories on the side. As time goes on I will probably write a bit more about myself.

[Edit] I should add that while I try hard I am not the best with grammar and punctuation. I do plan on presenting my older work with as little edits as possible as to maybe show improvement. If bad grammar disturbs you I apologize and am trying to get that down.
