Whoa I didn't know Mario was an alumni. For my graduation we had that guy from Barnes & Noble give the speech. He was okay but it would've been awesome if Mario had done it.

Didn't he use to go out with Samus?

[CrossboneGundam]

The singular is Alumnus.

And last I checked, the Brooklyn thing was just pulled out of a dark, moist place by the producers of the old american mario cartoons. I've yet to see an actual Mario game that makes any mention of NY, much less any of the real world.

Your Mario isn't going to stand up to the greatest novelist that ever lived, who will be going to Boyertown Senior High.

But you can't compare Mario whose already had fame to someone that doesn't exist yet ^_^

[Alice Catherine]

Her fame will come.
True fiction will come in the form of the pen name Alice Catherine Meridian.

Is she related to the Prime Meridian? And true fiction as opposed to fake fiction? Just messin' wit ya Alice.

If Tolkien where alive he'd shun you all :P Just Kidding

If Walter Disney where alive he'd join the Miyomoto Bandwagon :P just kidding.

What I have written so far:
Chapter 1


Gifted


If Alice Catherine Meridian could put a word to her older sister Christine’s expression after seeing her report card, it would be the usual sneer that Lissa would never be as academically talented as she was.
“English, A-, probably for missed homework…math, A…well you’ve certainly outdone yourself, although he gave me an A+ years ago…Science, B…you’ve never been spectacular at that…History, B+…you seem to have gotten worse…Art, B…probably because you can’t draw for your life…Computer, A…since all you do is plant your fat *** in front of yours, anyway, so…Music, C+.” At this a look of triumph spread over Christine’s face.
“So much for that dream of being a professional singer.” Lissa bit her lip. That was a blow below the belt for her. Christine kept on.
“FCS, A…this can’t be cooking…Fitness, A- since you’re a blubbering fat loser…” Lissa rolled her eyes and decided to say something that Christine would kill her for.
“I’m not fat. If you can recall the nurse sent something home telling you that I’m a lot thinner than you were when you were my age and was concerned that you weren’t feeding me.” Christine’s face contorted with rage. Then the sneer came back.
“Well, obviously I am. I wouldn’t starve you. People would talk. Geography, A, and Concert Choir…A?” Lissa now looked triumphant. She wanted very desperately to say “HA!” in her sister’s face, but at the risk of almost getting hit again, she didn’t.
What happened next would change Christine’s face from sneering and taunting to completely incredulous and frightfully angry. A note slipped out of the report card envelope.
“Alice Meridian is required to attend a mandatory meeting for all gifted students on Tuesday, November 14, 2006 at 1:10 PM.” Christine’s eyes widened. Lissa was fighting back a yell of pride. Christine had NEVER been invited to a gifted students meeting…not even with a 4.0 GPA. Boyertown wouldn’t accept it when their parents were still alive. After the boating accident, they had considered it out of sympathy, but never did. Boyertown Junior High West, she had said, had lost one of the finest students they will ever hope to have.
“Gifted students?” She asked faintly. “Who in their right mind would put the little urchin into the gifted students’ class?”
“I got honors.” Lissa reminded her quietly.
“I got high honors every term at that school and then at the high school. I was almost valedictorian as you recall.” Lissa snorted.
Yeah, they wanted someone with a bit more personality. She thought to herself.
“There must be a mistake.” Christine said. The shock looked like it almost killed her.
“It came in my report card envelope and has my name on the note.” Christine finally looked up.
“Go to your room.” She said quietly. It wasn’t a deadly quiet that would signal that if the person that was being talked to didn’t do as Christine told them, heads would roll. It was a shocked, almost perturbed quiet that Lissa hadn’t known her sister to take on. Shocked herself, she walked upstairs to her room.
When she reached the door at the end of the hallway, she sighed.
Today’s Friday. I have a few days to figure out what’s going on here.
She looked in her mirror and sighed. Her shoulder-length brown hair was always messy, unkempt, and in her face. People claimed that it was even greasy at times. Her eyes were large, gray-blue saucers, and were probably her best feature. There were always pimples around her lips and chin. Her figure was probably second best on her. She had an extremely good figure and the diet to back it up. Other than that, she was a bit plain. Lissa wasn’t stunningly gorgeous on the outside. People told her that she just needed a bit of work. More work than she was able to give.
Maybe most of it was due to the stress of moving schools and the fact that people still thought she was dorky and unclean to them. It hurt, obviously. It hurt her so much that she didn’t even care about keeping herself done up. They didn’t really care at the fewer than 100 kids Catholic school. Why do they care here? Lissa shook her head and pushed some brown hair behind her ears. It always looked better that way. It made her feel that even if she did get turned down by three different guys on four separate occasions in one year, not counting the fact that over the course of one year she had asked a boy out once every day that was a year older than she was, about to graduate, and already had a girlfriend.
It near destroyed her. But she didn’t care. Men were the reason she got this way. She was hereby done with them until further notice.
Then, after she tucked her hair back behind her ear, she had a revelation.
She wasn’t ugly. She was just a bit…plain.

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o


The next few days came and went. On Tuesday Lissa walked up to her English teacher with the note. Honest-to-God shy even with teachers, she thought that she couldn’t even get the words out.
“I-I need to g-go at 1:10.” She said, looking down the entire time. Her teacher blinked.
“OK.” Lissa bowed before heading to her seat. Everyone started giggling.
“What’s so funny?” She asked.
“You freakin’ bowed before coming over.” Alex said. Alex was an annoying jock in her class. Another one of them, Billy, turned.
“Who DOES that?” He said. Everyone started laughing except a boy in the corner that Lissa was unfamiliar with. He was drawing. Lissa started chewing her lip, as she was on the verge of tears.

And this is even before she finds out about her pyrokinetic powers.

[Haro!]

Pyrokinetic powers? Now you just want the character to shoot fireballs like the Tech alumnus that the thread is about.

An interesting thing about Tech is that one of alumni who paid for our field's name is Charles Wang. Our field is called "Wang Field" that was always funny to me.

...if this is an innuendo joke...

[Haro!]

...if this is an innuendo joke...

Well its true and it has to do with innuendo I guess, but not really. Its just a funny bit of non-fiction.

[Alice Catherine]

Hn.
Whoa. Holy crap. I didn't realize how freakin long that post was...

[The Million Dollar Prons]

So, I scrolled up, hit Control + F and searched for "Jack Bower," "Zombie," "Zombi" and "Gregory House," but found no results, are you not at the Jack Bower Zombie part yet?

[Alice Catherine]

There will be vampires, Prons. That's as close as I could get without killing the plot. Oh, and dead bodies used on Amanda's alters.

I think having vampires in itself kills the plot.. it would have been better as a chick-lit book. They sell pretty well actually.

[VidelCoolGirl]

You know, Matt Groening or hoever you spell it Graduated from my college. Yep...he's almost as cool as Mario...so Ha!
