Name: Louis Davros age: 16 gender: Male background/personality: Louis was a classic example of your stereotypical outcast. From birth until his current existence in his Sophomore year, he had only really found companionship amongst those in a similar situation. He had not made any transitions well, from the time he flatly refused to leave the house he had spent the first eight years of his life in, to the the more social transition from elementary and middle school social life to the far more active and dynamic social expectations and pressures of the high school. He still harbored a deathly fear of phone conversations, he never really learned how to text, he was frankly baffled by the startling array of music available and never developed a taste for any of it. He had never developed any sense of style or fashion, caring nothing for his appearance. Hovering above all of this like an overcast sky there was a fear of rejection. Needless to say, any romantic possibilities were DOA. Thus, the entirety of his social effort was based entirely around franticly scrambling to catch up to these social norms, before it became to late. He was constantly battling himself and his apathy and fear. Far too often he found himself saying; "what's one more night inside? I'll call a friend next weekend." In short he simply didn't know how to live life, and too afraid to try if he did know. This left him bitter, cynical, and hating the social norm with a burning passion, while still yearning with all of his heart to be a part of it. He found his only refuge in fiction, fantastic stories of different worlds and people who faced life a so different from his with the kind of confidence and tenacity his simply lacked. He often found himself thinking to himself that should the opportunity present itself he would enter such a story in a heartbeat. Despite all this, thoughts of suicide never so much as crossed his mind. There was still a tiny spark in him, one that would awaken in his most depressed states and rail violently against the world that seemed so determined to crush him. It would fill him with new resolve, a determination to make his mark on the world and claw his way out of his self destructive spiral. Too bad he died in a tragic and humiliating automobile accident soon afterwards. appearance: Not caring in the least what he wore, he often simply picked what seemed to be the most comfortable whenever he was dragged out clothes shopping. The clothes that followed him out into the afterlife were a plain black long sleeved shirt, a pair of jeans, and a battered old pair of white tennis shoes. An unruly mop of black hair consumed the upper third of his head. A pair of glasses made his his hazel eyes seem just a little bigger than normal |

I laughed. Winter this is good, and it's accepted. But there were numerous grammar errors and spelling errors, that seem to follow you in all of your writing. I'd suggest downloading Firefox, it'd probably help you. |

Gah, that was quite a mistake. Sorry, for long posts like that I have a tendency to only use the squiggly red line to alert me to mistakes, and unfortunatly "shit" was spelled correctly. For grammar, I honestly couldn't tell you, probably something about run-on sentences. I use way to many commas. The thing is, I am using Firefox. What does that tell you about my typing ability? |

Yeah... I've learned to type faster but my accuracy hasn't quite caught up. Plus, I never learned to look at the screen while I type. |

Oh, I see. I've been typing for a while, and I type pretty fast and rarely look down at the keyboard, usually only for an Alt Symbol or #,$,%,^,&, or *. Everything else I've got down, and it helps. |

Winter, the sad thing is: you're in Euro, you shouldn't have grammer problems, at least if you're doing well in it. You may be an exception though. |

Winter, you're probably using an older version of firefox. Mine and AoG's, and probably Luke's firefoxes have spellcheck. |

Um, AoG, Euro and grammar have next to nothing to do with each other. In notes, the point is to get as much information down as fast as you can. During essays, it's not graded based on spelling and grammatical errors so long as it doesn't interfere with the information. Besides, what are these so called grammatical errors in the post? Enlighten me. |

'Far to often' = Far too often 'saying "what's one more...' = saying; "What's one more... A few there. Meh. By the way, what's Euro? |

AP European History. Indisputably the most horrific of 10th grade courses. A semester and a half of advanced reading, daily quizzes, mind-rending tests, and your occasional nerve wracking DBQ. |

And the supposed re-learning of how to write an essay. (At least that's what Mr. Prod said.) |

And the readings are generally long and often mind numbingly boring. |

Sounds shitty. I only took two Social Science classes; Ancient Civilization and Change and Revolution. Ancient Civ is basically beginnings up to the fall of Rome, Change and Rev picks up at the fall of Rome and ends at American Rev. They're not AP though, just honors. I didn't feel the need to take any AP Social Science classes. AP Calc and AP Physics keep me busy just fine. <_< |

Eh It's not so bad, once you get used to it. Pana and I lucked out and got an awesome teacher. If anyone can make several thousand years of European history sound interesting she can. You should have been there when we were talking about that one time there were three Popes at once. |
