new religion

If I were the world, the world would revolve around me. I would not revolve around myself if I weren't the world. 
This is not a poem, or anything of the sort. I just needed to say something without really saying it, like the Beetles song. I was impressed as to how John Lenin confessed to an affair by song and nothing really was reveled. 

Anyway I was thinking, I really enjoyed writing those few scrips that we wrote in my theater class last year, not so much for the stories I wrote, but because I found it interesting how different people I made up would respond to each other. So, for my 365 I was wondering if I could write a conversation a day. Not conversations that I hear throughout the day (although I could be inspired by one)  but ones that I make up. I want to explore how characters can express themselves using words and by not actually saying what they are feeling. Like Luke once said, sometimes when we ask if someone would like a cup of tea, we mean something completely different. They would be between two people, and a story doesn't have to be involved, i just want to see how these two people communicate. they could be short and sweet or long and dramatic.

  1. Now you're cooking - a conversation a day sounds like a great idea, and you can draw from many sources - overheard conversations, your imagination, lyrics to a song - a lot of material for inspiration.

    Now... core values and issues - this fits in somehow, doesn't it?
