Am I a decent writter?
I gobbled down my cookie before i dashed into my voice lesson, late. My throat felt scratchy and thick after I ate, but I couldn’t help it. I was starving! My voice teacher knew right away though.
"Eating again, I see." Allison said.
"sorry, I couldn’t help it." I said guilty.
"You know how bad that is for your throat. Plus it makes your lesson useless, not to mention the money that your parents waste."
"Wow, you can’t tell me about my parents wasting their money, that’s not your buisness. Why do I even need voice lessons anyway, I’ve already learned everything crucial to singing."
"Don’t say that Clare, there is almost always something new to learn. You can’t give it up. We always have so much fun together anyways."
"No, you have fun. I have to watch my diet, arrive always early, and give up all my after school activities just to see you. Oh, so I don’t ‘waste my parents money’".
"Clare, you are a very talented young lady, and I would like to see you excel in your singing. That’s why I expect so much out of you. If you had no talent I would go easy on you."
"I love singing. But, I’m 17 years old and I still want to have a normal life every now and then! I’m not giving singing up, but you are wasting my time as a singer!"
I screamed back at beloved Allison as I stomped out the door. PMS had taken over, I guess. Allison has been a friend of the family for many years. She’s so close to us, she often comes to our family get togethers, like Christmas dinner, and such. I knew my parents would not be happy about me freaking out on Allison. However she really brought it on her self, talking about wasting my parents money like that. I walked to the woods right next to my house, and found my favorite secret hiding spot. This is where I spent a lot of my time, mostly just singing. Now I sat down on the little chair, and closed my eyes. I sat like that for hours, just singing. Finally, after my throat was sore, and it was beginning to get dark, I stiffly got up and went into the house. Mom, ofcourse, was waiting.
"Clarise, I just got off the phone with Allison,and I heard about your little tantrum."
"So? She was lecturing me on wasting you’re money. All I did was eat a cookie for peet’s sake. Then she goes on and on about how I can’t do that..If you think I am wasting your money then I’ll stop, I don’t need voice lessons anywho. She doesn’t have the right to tell what I can and cannot eat though. I’m 17, I want to have my own life! Why can’t I just get my own agent or something, and get my own vocal teacher…"
"Clare, Clare! Slow down. I understand you’re point. However, you know Allison is a friend of the family, and she’s a very good teacher. We wouldn’t hurt her by going to someone else. It’s not like you’re not getting a lot out of her. When you have money to pay for an agent, and a new teacher, then you can get one. For now though, we continue with Allison. Sound fair?"
"No mom, you aren’t listing. I want to have my own life, to do stuff fun for a change. I’m tired of always being tied down with singing. Singing is my safe haven, but lately it’s becoming the one place I don’t want to go to anymore. I don’t want to quit singing, but I dont want to take voice lessons anymore. Well, atleast for now. I want to take a break from them, and concentrate on other things."
"Like school? I saw you’re grades today."
"Oh mom, you know I barely have time to study."
"Then if we stop the lessons, I expect you to pull that english grade up, to atleast a B."
"Fine, but I’m not going to stop singing."
"You can break the news to Allison then, after that get a drink of water to help your throat, and go upstairs and study. Understood?"
"Yes, mother."

If I learned anything as I child, that would be never try and mess with Mother when she’s using that straight forward tone of voice. I grabbed a water from the fridge and guzzled it down. Then I snatched my cell from my purse and ran upstairs. I dialed Allison’s number and held my breath.
this isnt done yet, its just a start, (let me no what u think) feel free to be brutal if its terrible thankk you!


Yes, it is decent, just make sure to edit it.
Fix the grammar, and get rid of a couple of things you don’t really need in there.
Good luck.

Can You Help Me Identify This Old Movie?
Just the other day I watched ‘Invasion Of The Body Snatchers’ (1954), and it creeped me out just as much as it did when I was a kid! However, I seemed to remember it differently, and think I’m confusing two different films…

Another one I can recall involved some mysterious quicksand that victims would fall into and emerge seemingly unscathed, but ‘different’; like they’d been taken over or possessed. The only clue was that they had a mysterious black hole behind their ear lobe. It was in the same vain as ‘Invasion….’ (i.e. Cold-War/Communism metaphor – paranoid battle between ‘them’ and ‘us’).

It was a very old film, in black and white, and for the life of me I cannot recall what it was called – but I’d be very grateful if anyone recognises this and could tell me the name of the film. I watched it a few times when I was about 5 years old (I’m only 22, it was an old film when I saw it), and I would love to see it again.

All thoughts greatly appreciated!


Here’s the 50’s Invaders from Mars

Sounds like "Invaders from Mars".

I think germaine is right;although i’ve searched for a half hour and can’t seem to find "invaders from mars" in the ’50s scifi movies.I thought James Whitmore was in it;but that was "Them" and that isn’t the movie your looking for.
