A Pointless Conversation that was Destined to Happen

While I was trying to pick a conversation on the internet for this blog, a miracle happened--and that miracle's name was Jill. I was just checking my e-mail when this im popped up from my sister:

Jill: I'm bored

me: i'm stressed. I don't know how to do my homework


Suddenly it hits me.
me: Ooh. You could help me out! Wanna help me out?

If you just respond, that is all i need

Jill: oh yes
what homework is it?

Jill: so....


about this conversation...

I'm totally having one
with myself



me: Its really important homework.

Hi I'm back now. So have you ever heard of Liam Sullivan?

Jill: I have not.

liam KYLE sullivan?

me: Uh....maybe...go check out his website at
Liamsullivan.com.
whoopsie i mean
liamshow.com

Jill: should i watch the videos?

me: yea! Check out muffins and tell me what you think. Cuz i'll tell you what

i think. I think i wish I looked like the muffin lady.

Jill: I think you could look like her with little to no effort.

me: That's excellent news for me.

Jill: Ok i watched it. It's interesting. I like the way she says "muffins"
I probably would have laughed out loud a little if i wasn't so prone to peeing

my pants now.

me: Oh yeah i forgot. You have a baby growing inside you. Well another one that's

not as funny is Love Letters. its entertaining, yet won't cause the peeing.

Jill: im watching text message break up right now
is this guy part of your homework?

me: No my friend, you are. And that's a wrap. Thanks for your help, sister that's

all i needed from you.

Jill: ah man!

me: Starwipe....and we're out

I like the way you put your commentary in he actual conversation itself. This was very interesting. Also helpful, everything was explain but without the actual narration.

I've heard of reflexivity in movies but this is the first time I've seen it in a homework assignment. If you add commentary for the revision, keep that up. Maybe something like, "Here I am, adding the revisions for this assignment..."

By the way, my wife and I are always singing the "Shoes" song but I didn't know who that guy was. Thanks for the link. "These shoes are 300 dollars..."

Read well for the speed of the conversation. Certain things that picked up the pace:
coloring
minimal commentary
process paper feeling

slowed me down:
spacing between lines
font


I liked the way you incorporated the point of the assignment into the assignment, both with your sister in the conversation, and your reader through commentary.

VERY clever conversation. As per class discussion I think that it has a wonderfully complex set rules.

I think that as per your peers comments that some commentary may be useful, also I would play with text colors and fonts for clarity.

Nice post, I liked your idea of tying your post into the homework assignment.

Good use of videos

Good job.
