1. a. Idea- Write about being gay
b. Possible Anecdote(s)-- my anecdote is to show how being gay has effected aspects of my life. Details to include: The difference of how my mom treats me now. Looks and comments I get from people when I'm out with my girlfriend. How great it was when we went to the gay pride vigil thing and how we didn't get dirty looks from anyone and they thought it was cute when Tashaa put her sweatshirt around me. How sometimes I have to hide that fact about me depending on where I am or who I'm with. How my mom lies to the family about me..
c. So What? --
my epiphanies so far: Being a homosexual in today's society is a very hard thing to do. Despite all the looks and comments and hate I need to make it through it all and tell myself that.. it will get better. Give things time and people may learn to love, accept, and maybe stop all the hate. I'm still a normal person, I'm just like everyone else, there's nothing wrong with me.
d. My Belief Statement: I believe that there is nothing wrong with me and things will get better for all the gay people out there.
e. Possible Title:
2. Idea- Why I love Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street
3. Idea- How music is a HUGE part of my life and it practically is my life
4. Idea- How I've wanted to be in a band since, like, 7th grade
5. Idea- Were The World Mine...

Poetry
Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein
There is a place where the sidewalk ends
And before the street begins,
And there the grass grows soft and white,
And there the sun burns crimson bright,
And there the moon-bird rests from his flight
To cool in the peppermint wind.
Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black
And the dark street winds and bends.
Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow
We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And watch where the chalk-white arrows go
To the place where the sidewalk ends.
Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go,
For the children, they mark, and the children, they know
The place where the sidewalk ends.
And before the street begins,
And there the grass grows soft and white,
And there the sun burns crimson bright,
And there the moon-bird rests from his flight
To cool in the peppermint wind.
Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black
And the dark street winds and bends.
Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow
We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And watch where the chalk-white arrows go
To the place where the sidewalk ends.
Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go,
For the children, they mark, and the children, they know
The place where the sidewalk ends.

An Idealist/Creative Enthusiast's Song Lyrics
1. "Raised By Wolves" by Falling In Reverse
http://www.cleanvideosearch.com/media/action/yt/watch?videoId=PK5D3G9e-X4
I was lost now I'm found
I'm sustained by the sound
Of the angels singing me to sleep
While my feet are leaving the ground
Am I dead? Or am I dreaming instead?
A cornucopia of opiates have flooded my head
I'm insane, I am smart
All it takes, is a spark, to ignite my bad intentions
And do what I do best to your heart *2Don't be fooled, I was raised by the wolves
Now the moon hangs in full, so you know I won't
Play by the rules
I will never spill
Spill my blood for you
You have let me down
One too many times
Someway, somehow, we've fallen out
Caught in between my enemies
No way not now, I won't back down
I draw the line at you and me
You're what I started, now disregarded
One day they'll see, it was always me *1
Due to mistakes, I have made to the state
I am trapped inside a Dillinger
Diligently thinking of ways to get out of this god awful place
I have learned that my fate is something I can't escape so
Sound the alarm, what I've said from the start
Is I'll never let your system break me down or tear me apart
Don't be fooled, I was raised by the wolves
Now the moon hangs in full, so you know I won't
Play by the rules
I will never spill
Spill my blood for you
You have let me down
One too many times
Someway, somehow, we've fallen out
Caught in between my enemies
No way not now, I won't back down
I draw the line at you and me
You're what I started, now disregarded
One day they'll see, it was always me *1
Oh, this is the end of you
This is where I draw the line
And I won't lose
This war is mine
Oh!
Spill my blood for you
One too many times
Someway, somehow, we've fallen out
Caught in between my enemies
No way not now, I won't back down
I draw the line at you and me
You're what I started, now disregarded
One day they'll see, it was always me
One day they'll see
It was always me
It was always me
*1
May not think things through, not thinking of, or ignoring, the consequences or needed details
*2Can get caught up in the moment and be impulsive
