For Friday, we have a short blog assignment...
And here it is:
Create a dialogue between you and your person in which each person says at least 7 things. The dialogue should be centered around a conflict you have with your person. I can't specify more than that since the conflicts will be varied. If you've chosen a person with whom you don't have any conflict, now might be the time to pick someone new.
If you want a line of dialogue delivered a certain way, add a parenthetical. E.g. Pete (angrily): You ate all my JuJu Fruits, you wanker!
The kicker is that you're going to perform these in class, so really try to capture your person's voice in their lines.

Taylor (angry): JOHN ROBERT YOU BETTER LET ME OUT OF THE CAR RIGHT NOW.
Beau : I'm sorry!
Taylor: You always do this! You know that I am scared out of my mind about cars so you drift every time I am in the car. I'm tired of it. I'm walking home.
Beau: Don't do that! You know how I feel about you walking home. It scares me to know you are walking when there are such weird people out at this hour.
Taylor: I don't care. I'm less likely to die walking a mile home then drifting around every turn possible in your stupid Camaro!
Beau: One, my car isn't stupid. Two, you don't know what you are getting yourself into. Three, I'm sorry. I always forget that you are afraid of cars. It is a pretty redicilous thing to be scared of.
Taylor (Attitude): You are trying to apologize to me and insult me one right after the other? Now that is what is stupid. Leave me alone.
Beau: Okay. I was being stupid. Please just get back in the car! If you don't I'm driving on the other side of the street.
Taylor: Fine do it.
*he starts...and another car is coming**
Taylor: FINE!

Nick: No problem lets just have fun while were here.
Khalil: Dude it's time to go.
Nick: Na man, lets stay and have a couple more drinks.
Khalil (angry): You know we gotta be home in a little while.
Nick: Fine, I'll drive.
Khalil: Neither of us can drive. We'll just walk home and pick up the car tommorow.
Nick: I aint goona walk all the way home.
Khalil: It's not that far.
Nick: Either get in the car or I'm leaving you.
Khalil: I aint gettin' in the car with you.
Nick: I don't care I'm leaving.

Emily: Yeah, come see. (Squats down to look in the cabinet)
Chris: (Slouches down to look in the cabinet right beside me and points to a pan) That one will be perfect!
Emily: (pulls out pan) This one?! (Accidently hits him square in the forehead with pan)
Chris (annoyed): OH MY GOD! That freakin hurt, dumbass!
Emily: Sorry. It's not like I meant to hit you!
Chris: You knew I was standing right there!
Emily (sarcastic): Well I was just lifting up the pan to make sure I was taking out the right one.
Chris: You always do stupid stuff like that!
Emily: Dude, it wasn't intentional. I said I was sorry. Take it like a man next time.
Chris: Give me that pan. I'm going out by the barbeque pit.
Emily: Okay you do that! Go pout out there.
Chris: I'm not pouting. Next time, I'll hit you in the forehead with a pan so you can see how it feels.
Emily: (Laughing at how pathetic he is) I dare you.

Bianca Day
before I start this dialogue let me explain...four girls in a small car,on our way from new orleans to an LSU game. AND Bianca is already annoyed with Victoria.
Bianca: I'm starving! I had nothing to eat all day! So just stop some place fast!
Victoria: No! We are late as it is and you want food? You are out of your mind if you think I am stopping.
Bianca: Stop the car and let me out. I will walk to the game.
Victoria: Fine! Oh my god I will stop at the next exit.
....Victoria gets off the interstate
Bianca: I want Taco Bell.
Victoria: Thats on the other side of the street. That is going to waste even more time than you are wasting for us now!
(not changing my mind)
Bianca:I want Taco Bell.
Victoria: FINE! You are never coming with me again anywhere!
