Just in case you were curiousThat's a project we just finished for my government class. (AKA, the reason I got only an hour of sleep last night) I just want to show it off since my group is so awesome. (Also, nerdy and awkward) It makes me laugh. I was mostly behind the scenes in the movie since Josh, dirty blonde Michael Jackson parody, and Adam, dark-haired Lonely Island Parody, were the stars but I'm there in the black shirt dancing with the guy with long black hair around 3:18. The Great American Melting Pot in the end is kind of an inside joke with the class since the teacher in the beginning of the year tortured us with that song by repeating "THE GREAT AMERICAN MELTING POT~" for like five minutes. (Thus the screaming) Deuce is the nickname of the teacher who is 6'5", bald, but with a red goatee/mustache combo. Discuss: Your shameless nerdy/awkward friends How repetitive politics are Class projects you have waaaay too much fun making. How awesome our video is

Haha, thanks Black.
I never actually watched School House Rock as a kid.
I don't know why.
But I find it very amusing when we watch it in high school.

Wow, really? We had to watch it all the time in elementary school. I can still remember the Preamble of the Constitution because of it, though. We also had to watch it when we were in AP Literature... sweatdrop

What I've learned from SchoolHouse Rock:
(That I could have known in elementary school had my teachers shown it)
Bills die if Congress doesn't pass them
America is made up from a bunch of different people.
.........
............
That's actually all I can remember.
I remember watching it freshman year in English though.
There's some story about a guy trying to ask a girl out but I don't remember what it was trying to teach.

I don't really remember the guy asking a girl out. Let's see... Conjunction Junction... We the People... most of the multiplication songs... the Melting Pot... all in all, I can still remember a lot of it. Course we have cable, and back then, we had this really crappy TV with only 13 channels, most of it news... so, I only had a channel or two to watch. blaugh

Going on the topic of School House Rock:
I could never understand the guy in "Conjunction Junction."
I had to watch "We the People" in middle school as part of a memorization assignment.
I had to watch "I'm Just a Bill" in high school.

I hate posting twice in a row, but I just remembered something.
On the topic of films made for school:
I was in a film for a group project that I wasn't a part of about the movie "Smoke Signals." My best friends (who decided to go in a group with another one of my friends who wasn't even that close to us thus causing me to be stuck with the guy in the class who no one likes) had me play as one of the characters. Seriously, though, what the heck? I should have been in their group!
Another film was made to explain 4dimensional planes. Or something. It was a while ago. It was set up to be like one of those silly videos instructors show you every now and then. Similar to Bill Nye.

I think... out of all my classes in high school, only one person actually made a video for their project. And it was actually in my friend's class, but the teacher found it amusing and showed it to everyone in Journalism. (Ugggh, hate this topic sad ) It had to deal with Beowulf... but it was made in a really countryish, redneck sorta way. made me laugh. I think the worst pic of myself is when my friend decided (on our last day of high school, no doubt) that she wanted to see if she could paint one of our group up as a geisha... and it ended up being me... let's just say that it didn't work out. I ended up scaring the crap outta a few people instead. lol I know I've taken a few pics of people in awkward moments. This one boy got forced into dressing up as girl (he lost a bet) and he had his nails done and his hair put up in a side pigtail. He didn't know I carried my camera around just about everywhere. lol

Dornkus:
They made you play a character in their movie while making you get stuck with the kid no one likes.
Your friends kind of suck.
I may not have watched School House Rock but Bill Nye was pretty awesome.
I kind of wish I could have seen this video now.
Black:
Really?
We make a lot of videos.
My friend and I right now are planning one for Hamlet.
We're rewriting the last scene in a Western style, so we'll have a shootout with cap guns instead of a fencing match.
Then when Fortinbras shows up all the people that died are going to turn into zombies and kill his army and him.
It's going to be so bad but so fun. xD
Aww, that sounds hilarious though.
That sounds pretty awesome too.
Those are moments that everyone wishes they had a camera, you actually did!
I have a friend that lost a bet and had to wear a denim mini-skirt.
It was so short that he kept having to pull it down and adjust it or his boxers would show.
(Sad thing is, he looked better in that skirt than I would have.)

Why the Hell did we have him instead of you in our group?" I think the math movie is somewhere on Youtube. I have no idea how to find it at this point. It's been a while and wasn't on my account, so I don't remember what keywords were used. All I'm finding is football, cheer homecoming and projects that I didn't do. Maybe it was taken down?

Haha, nice. Did he figure out why? Oh, I hate that. When you can't find the video you're looking for when you know it was there. Maybe it was taken down.

Either it was taken down, or I can't remember which keywords to use. I also just remembered that there were even more class video projects that I helped a friend with. He had to make films that showed different filming techniques. One was about a guy trying to buy a pencil, and the other was a fight between V and a generic agent. I was the guy selling pencils and the agent. I have no idea if those are on Youtube or not.

That's kind of random.
But that actually sounds like it'd be pretty amusing to watch.
Maybe you should see if you can find them.
