.... While Suzanne and Erin were diligently practicing their forehand and backhand motions, I took private lessons focusing on my serve. Glancing their way, I would see them laughing and chatting as they walked to the clubhouse for a snack during a break. By expending all my energy on the game, I had hoped that my friends would respect my ability and that it would bring us closer together. Instead, I felt they were ostracizing me, which wasn't truly the case. Even so, Suzanne and Erin had developed a tight relationship of which I was envious. The closer they became, .....

.... -- As to where I get my ideas from for my sick excursions, I sincerely do not know. Like Stephen King (who got the idea to write IT when looking off of a bridge) I seem to receive my mad phantasms out of thin air. For example, when I first began writing the first draft of this essay, I started out writing about writing horror stories and ended up writing a short story about a vampire in London. It is safe to say I get ideas out of thin air. When I do capture the intangible, I literally feel a rushing sensation in my head! I feel like a kid on a roller coaster. I .....

.... very strange. I told my friend I couldn’t breathe and he said I should calm down or I would scare myself. I was beginning to hallucinate, the grass started to dance and turn shades of purple. It was a strange feeling, like we were the only two people on earth, everything else seemed to have disappeared. I was beginning to get very paranoid, which is not good when you are doing acid. My friend thought we should go to my house because I was scared. He decided to go home because he did not want to be around when my mom got home, he was feeling a bit strange himself. I w .....

.... many more miles. The beat of the music is no longer distinguishable as beats out it's own tune on the glass of the windows and the metal of the car. Visibility is reduced to almost the end of our noses as the water sluices down the windows. Moving the car ever so cautiously, my father pulls into a truck stop to wait out . Making a mad dash through the small rivers that are forming in the parking lot, we all pile out of the car and into the cool sanctuary of the diner. We are allowed to order anything we want, this is vacation, all the rules and regulations of home seem to hav .....

.... he had been passing around, and a handful of flyers he had received. He carried his driver's license, now useless since he was lacking a vehicle. He carried a set of keys, with a car alarm remote. What company was he covered by? He would have to call them later. He had nothing to alleviate his current difficulty. He had some money, but not enough for a cab ride back to San Diego at 5am. He was sure that cabbies didn't take pez as currency. He felt ill-equip, and mortified that his car alarm hadn't stopped the theft. He carried the guilt of sneaking away to atte .....

.... knife, emergency transmitter, and a first aid kit. The action occurs after Brian gets all of the survival supplies out of the survival pack. While Brian is fixing himself food that came from the survival pack, he tries to figure out how the emergency transmitter works by flicking the switch. Brian thinks that the transmitter is broken because he does not understand its function. The climax of the story occurs when the plane flies over and lands on the L shaped lake. ACT III: The conclusion is when Brian is flipping the switch back and forth on the emergency transmitter .....

.... and just barely made the team. I was the "scrub" of the group, I always sat the bench, and never started. I was the kid no one wanted to be stuck with in partner drills and the kid no one wanted to pick to fill up there team when we scrimmaged ourselves. I was the kid who had to pick it up or be cut from the team, something had to give. My fourth year on the team was like the ending of an era. Our three best players on the team had informed the coach before the season started that next year they would be leaving the Strikers to go play in the premier league. I, havin .....

.... student loans. When I first started working for this company they were short handed and all the employees at the store I started at were new to each other. That is they had worked for the company at other stores but had not worked together. I was hired when the manager went to his yearly manager meeting in Reno. When I was hired I was hired on as a delivery driver. The delivery driver is responsible for all of the deliveries and pick-ups of store merchandise. The only training that I received were two videos. One video was on "Smith's Safe Driving Techniques" .....
