ReplyDeleteI like your descriptions, but remember to use proper capitalization and punctuation in your creative writing blog post.
DeleteLast month, i had had the craziest experience ever, i went to a bar with some friends to drink and to have some fun, but no one expected that it will be my last night as a normal person. We were drunk and an old man came to us when we were going back to home, he claimed to have the power to make us famous. First, we started laughing at him, but as we were drunk we told him to prove it, he smiled then he came to me, i don't know why but i felt something strange, something that i've never felt before, like he had a big influence on me, i stayed calm and looked to him in the eyes, then he told me that I was the chosen one, I didn’t have enough time to ask him any question of the questions I had in my mind that I found myself in a spacious and luxury room, I didn’t believe it at first, I thought I was dreaming so I went to the bathroom, I washed my head then I looked into a full-length mirror and then the shock of my life, I was not Youssef anymore I became a HOLLYWOOD STAR Bradley Cooper. I was confused, I didn’t know how this happened, I didn’t even know how to take it, was it a chance that nobody have or was it the beginning of a horror life. I went to the place where we met the old scary man and I looked for him everywhere, but nobody knew him or even saw him last night, I started walking in the street and I saw people looking at me and came to take pictures with me. In the night, I went home I smoked a cigarette and wished I find my old life, I slept and then the next morning I realized that it has all been a dream and nothing ever happened.
ReplyDeleteAlways a dream sequence ending! Remember to capitalization "I" in sentences.
DeleteAfter a busy night doing housework, I went to sleep in my bedroom with my dirty clothes. The day after I woke up in a huge room well designed .flowers were distributed in all the room, my clothes were very fashionable and very fascinating. I didn’t realize what happened to me. Was I dreaming? Was It me? Were those my clothes? … Lots of questions hunted me but there were no answers. Few minutes later, I heard some people shouting, what’s a surprise! People were shouting Jennifer Lawrence under my balcony. They thought that I was this famous actress. And as I love acting and being popular and have fans, I decided to play the role. It was very fantastic, I have never felt this emotion, and never had this experience. It was great to act in one of the biggest film. The experience did not stop there; I won the price of the best actress of the word and was awarded thanks to this film. After few months of the celebrity life, the real actress appeared and fortunately I was obliged to give up.
ReplyDeleteGood work! You used great adjectives.
DeleteIt was long Friday night, I finished my homework at 6:00 PM, and then I decided to hang out with my friends out of the town for a while. I sent emails to all my favorite friends for about five minutes, and I went out to get some fresh air until I get some responses. Unfortunately I got non-respond, so I took my father’s car and I went to see my cousin in the dormitory where he lives. Once I got there I found his room very hot, like if it’s on fire, he was smoking something very special, and it has smell like strawberry. I stayed with them for about 15 minutes and then I felt asleep. I woke up the day after with a strong headache; I felt down on my head, and I couldn’t stand up. After that I went to the bathroom to see what happened to my head. I was choked, and I didn’t believe my eyes, I was just like about seeing my favorite actor instead of my head, and I started laughing for about 10 minutes with non-stop. After that I heard someone knocking at the door, I opened the door, and it saw cousin, and I asked him; how do I look like? –Then he said: like somebody who slept for about two days because of drugs. Then I knew that it was only the fact of smelling a lot their special cigarette.
ReplyDeleteGood post! I like your storytelling.
DeleteLast Saturday, I went with some friends to visit one of the mysterious places; it was amazing. Actually this place is full of beautiful waterfalls and others beautiful landscapes. During our journey, we saw many strange things such as weird buildings. We were curious by one of these buildings, so we entered to see who the owner of this house is. We found something very strange, actually something that we see only on cartoons and films. Actually it was an oil magic lamp, this lamp when you rub, you awoke a wish-granting genie appears and ask you a wish. My friends and I were shocked, but few minutes later we started giving our wishes.my friends asked the genie to give him something very expensive, but me I wish to be a Hollywood star. The day after, I woke up in a luxurious room this kind of room that you can have it only in your dream. When I went to the bathroom, I found that I had the face of Jennifer Lawrence. In the beginning I didn’t realize that my wish was realized, so I called my friends to ask them if their wishes were realized too. Their respond was yes. Finally, they came to see me and found that I became a Hollywood star.I have learned one important thing that even if stars have a lot of money their life are not easy at all.
ReplyDeleteIt's true; celebrities are just people, too. Good story and good writing.
DeleteMy eyes were heavy; I fought against myself to open them, after several attempts I finally succeeded. Every part of my body was hurting me, the heat was unbearable. I looked around me, something was going wrong, it wasn’t my bed, my room ... I got up, I walked to the bathroom and I looked in the mirror, what is happening to me? Who is this person in the mirror? I was probably dreaming! I closed my eyes and opened them once again hopping that this person would disappear but it doesn’t. I didn’t know what to think, I was shocked and scared , this person in the mirror wasn’t unknown to me, she was an actress , Jennifer Lawrence ! That was becoming really weird! I decided to go back to the room and to calm down so I could be able to think of a solution. An hour later, everything was clearer. I maybe don’t know what was happening to me or how long it will last but I was sure of one thing: when you have the chance to be a celebrity, beautiful, rich and popular why private yourself?
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. I would be shocked at first, and then just enjoy being rich and famous for a little bit. Good work.
DeleteIt was late at night, i could feel it. As i opened my eyes, i saw something really strange going on, the room was really different, everything was so fancy and luxurious, where did i just woke up ? Was i dreaming again ? i stood up and took a good look around,there was that full length mirror, i looked into it and i was shocked ! it wasn't me in the mirror,there was that famous person that i've always known from the TV : Bradley cooper ! I couldn't believe my eyes, suddenly i became a famous hollywood star ! It was not something that we see everyday ... So i decided to enjoy it ! I went for a walk in this extraordinary crib, everything was magic and huge. This man was living the best life ever, i couldn't doubt, especially when i saw the garage full of amazing cars, so i went for a ride in this beautiful Maserati, that perfect mixture of luxury and sport. I was driving really fast through those smoky mountains when suddenly i heard a voice ! It was my roommate, he was snoring again ... What a jerk !
ReplyDeleteAh, the classic dream sequence ending, again! I like your use of descriptive imagery in your writing.
DeleteWhen I woke up this morning, or this afternoon I can’t remember, I was laying on a king size bed, alone. First, with the unbearable headache I had, I thought of having a hangover, and then I remembered that I only had two cocktails last night, so it became obvious that someone had drugged me. With a lot of difficulties I got up, and with great surprise the first thing I saw at the window was the Hollywood sign. I was in Los Angeles and my last memory was with my friends in a little night club, in a tiny town, in Wisconsin. I panicked and ran in the bathroom to check in a mirror if I wasn’t physically injured. When I finally get into the bathroom of this huge luxury suite, I found myself in front of a full-length mirror and then it was the shock. I was exactly looking like Jennifer Lawrence, the famous actress, which all the greatest Hollywood directors want in their movies! The same long brown hair, the same white skin, the same blue eyes … I was her. After a few minutes, I saw myself, I mean my body, appeared behind me. My body told me: “Don’t worry. You’re going to be fine. It’s me Jennifer Lawrence.” I was voiceless. “I’m just borrowing your body for a few days. I’m tired of all this craziness. So I’m taking some holidays. Here’s one million dollars. Thank you very much.” And Jennifer Lawrence disappeared with my body.
ReplyDeleteYes! I like your idea of doing a Freaky Friday body-switch. I bet it is difficult to be a famous celebrity now. The paparazzi are crazy!
DeleteOne week ago , I woke up late in the morning as usual. But this Saturday was not like others. I woke up in a very fancy room that really didn’t look like my messy one . Everything seemed wealthy and fashionable. I didn’t say a word I just checked in every corner of the room but didn’t get an explanation. I opened the dressing, everything smelled Gucci , Prada ,Chanel and Louboutin shoes .. I was overwhelmed. Near the dressing, there was a very large mirror , I decided to look at it even if I had a feeling that I will get shocked. My lord, I saw Jennyfer lawrence in the mirror reflexion. Yes, the hunger games star ! I thought it was a 3D poster or a hidden camera but no it was too real, I mean it was me. I screamed then I laughed. I didn’t know how to feel. Whether to be happy because i’m the one i’ve ever loved , i’m now my own idol or sad as I am not the real me , and I don’t know how to deal with it . After this long moment of insecurity, I took a look throught the window, there were about a hundred of paparazzis and fans fangirling and screaming once I showed my face. I waved to them came back to the room. I called the police to tell them what happens and ask where the real Jenny is, but they thought I was under drugs effect or something like this . I visited my home, i knocked and a girl opened and screamed on my face, the girl was the real me. It’s like we’ve exchanged bodies and souls. Till now, i’m still the hollywood star and don’t know what to do.. I’m just waiting for the magic to come back and bring the real me to my life again.
ReplyDeleteAh, Louboutin shoes! The true love of every shoe-fetishing woman. Very good description, just remember to use proper capitalization in your sentences.
DeleteHave you ever wondered: Why do most of people like to sleep much longer then the others ? Simple question, complicated answer.
ReplyDeleteProbably because dreams are better than reality, everything goes the way we want it to. It is simply unlimited, we free our minds.
Every girl's dream is to look like Victoria Secret's Angels, so if this dream would come true, why would I ever want to wake up ?
A knock, a second then a third was coming outside of my room, accompanied with tons of voices, more like stressed voices.
"Wake up Jenny, you're going to be late ! " An unfamiliar voice shouted. Yes, of course, classes again. I slept late last night due to a pile of homework I needed to finish, so all the strength to get out of my bed was taken away from me. But I was somehow forced to open my eyes as the sunlights almost blinded me. " I am already up !" I shouted back, completely sure that my dad knows that I was lying. Pause that ! This isn't the voice of daddy, what is going on here ? I instantly pushed myself out of the bed, realizing that first of all this wasn't my own bed, the pillows weren't impregnated with my usual fruity perfume, they were as white and cold as a dead body, then it was a California king sized bed, the type of bed that could fit three persons in it. I never slept in any kind of those beds, I've never even dreamed to own one someday. Not event in my wildest dreams. I decided to take a look at the entire room, and the more I analyze it, the more my eyes grew wider and wider. Two chandeliers were hung from the ceiling -which was made of glass to let the daylight in- and used to light up this princess bedroom. I was starting to get lost due to my overthinking, but was soon interrupted when someone said: " We don't have time to waste Miss Lawrence, so please hurry up and go take a quick shower so that we can see which dress you'll be wearing for tonight." I opened a closed door I noticed before, and went in for a shower in that luxurious bath. Once I got out of the shower, I erased the mist from the glass. I was shocked, this isn't me. I saw a girl with blond short hair, blue eyes, amazing smile. I was Jennifer Lawrence. My life changed since that day, I went back to my room and talked to the man who seemed to be my manager, asking which dress would be much suitable for tonight's movie premiere of The Hunger Games. As soon as my dress was ready, someone took care of my makeup, then my hair. I was now ready for the red carpet, flashes and paparazzi's. Since that special day, I knew that nothing is going back to being normal, and that was fine with me, because now I got those super model's legs I've always dreamt of.
Lights, camera, ACTION !
It would be so cool to actually act the part of Katniss Everdeen in a movie. Very good work.
DeleteDear Diary:
ReplyDeleteLast Saturday started so amazing. I went to a party with my friends and we had so much fun. However, we ended up really drunk. Next morning, I woke up at home next to my boyfriend with a terrible headache. I couldn’t recognize my own bedroom! I was somewhere else. My boyfriend was surprised and I wasscared. I got up of the bed and had a look of myself on a full-length mirror.”aaahh”. - I screamed.-” Who is this?” Then my boyfriend said: “Wow, You are really hangover”. -“That’s not me!!” is the last thing I shouted before I woke upnext morning at the hospital. -“Good morning Mrs. Lawrence, I have the results of your analysis” A random doctor said. I was shocked. –“Someone put some drug in your drink Saturday night. It’s a new chemical drug that people are lately using to make others don’t recognize themselves. This way they can get into their houses passing themselves off as girls’ boyfriend”. –“…What?”. I muttered. –“Police has already been informed, and last news suggest that it might have been a fan.” He added. I feel so scared and sad Diary. I know no one said it would be easy, but I couldn’t imagine that it was going to be so hard. Good night.
I love your idea about a new drug that makes people unrecognizable to themselves. Like amnesia, but in a pill. Very creative idea, Nora.
DeleteI woke up in a room that isn’t mine , i was increasingly confused about what it’s happening . I stood in font of a full-length mirror and was shocked ! I was the famous Hollywood actress Jennifer Lawrence . I was blonde with blue eyes and a perfect size,in reality I was a little bit happy about what I looked like in this corp but I was above all confused about what it was happening.Despite everything I went out wandering in the city center with heels of about 30 cm . Everyone was staring at me and wanted pictures with me , I was very excited to be so popular that I had almost forgot that it wasn’t me. I spent few days in a life of a star enjoying her corp and signing autographs . Until I woke up ! It was a dream !!! I was happy and sad in the same time . Happy because I had my life back , and sad because I enjoyed the life inside the corp of Jennifer Lawrence .
ReplyDeleteAh, the much-used dream sequence ending! Please keep in my using proper capitalization and punctuation in your blog posts.

ReplyDeleteIn the last week of August, M’jid and Aziz went to Amsterdam in order to take some vacation before the beginning of the Fall semester in AUI. Of course they brought with them some hallucinogenic gifts for us, so we had to celebrate their coming back.
It was Sunday night, before the first day of class, when they knocked at my door, holding with them a drug bag full of the magic brain stuff that we were supposed to trip with that night. Once inside the house, I opened the bag that seemed to me as a treasure, especially when I saw that it contained: little plastic bags of Ketamine and Salvia, five grams of weed with it bong and pipe, and finally some blotters of LSD. It was too much for me to try the hard drugs that night because I had class the day after, so I contained myself with smoking weed. Once I got too high I went to sleep.
At approximately 4A.M, when I was in the middle of a dream, I took a pee-time break. In my way, I crossed the living room: everybody was sleeping. Apparently, the Salvia took them down, poor them. The pipe of marijuana on the table was filled to the top, they certainly couldn’t finish it. What a waste! So I smoked it until it remains only the ash. The action of putting back the bong on the table made me understand that I was in the limits of my highness, so I stood up wishing to go safely to my room. Unfortunately, I remained stand up with the incapacity to walk for more than a minute, fixing the television that was still on: MBC 2, Bradley Cooper, Limitless. Then I failed down on Majdouline’s head with the eyes exploded like if I was paralyzed. She barely moved, that’s what I remember before falling asleep.
I didn’t remember when I slept, but I do remember when I woke up the day after. I was lying down on a royal bed in a luxurious room that looks nothing to mine. “Where the hell am I?” I said by bouncing from the bed. A yellow I.D card was in the table that was in the center of the room. “It will probably help me to figure out what’s happening” I thought, but it just blurred my mind because it was Bradley Cooper’s card. “How did I end up in Bradley’s house? What am I doing in his room? Is that a bug of the natural system that teleported me here? DID I SLEPT WITH HIM?”. It was too much to handle for my brain, so I sat down holding my head, and trying to find an explanation of all what was happening. While I was overthinking I noticed that my hands were too big, and my legs were too hairy. It was not my normal body. I was no longer Yassine, maybe I travelled through the time in a future dimension. So I went to the only full-length mirror in the room to see how I became. Guess what: I was Bradley Cooper. With the power of the shock and fear I fell down holding my head again and overthinking. I started reciting all the Coran verses that I know asking God to help me to understand what is going on. Then, I remembered little by little what happened right before I fell asleep, and suddenly everything was clear: I was in the middle of a Salvia-Marijuana trip. I simply enjoyed the moment, surfing with the vibes of the Salvia’s effect: I went for a walk in the Hollywood streets enjoying my life as a star till I fell asleep in my star bed by midnight.
Monday 8A.M, I hear my phone ringing from my room. I was back to the real world. I lit a cigarette to wake up and feel alive. While I was taking hits of the Winston Light that I found on the table, God knows to whom it belongs, my eyes fixed the pipe, and I went into a deep meditation about it, remembering where the three hits led me. Then I put my clothes and went to school for a real day in the real world. After, I met M’jid and Aziz on the campus, they affirmed me that what I smoked was a mix of Salvia and Marijuana, and that each one of them lived the same trip depending on which actor they fixed in the television before falling asleep: M’jid was Jennifer Lawrence and Aziz was Angelina Jolie.
This is a great creative blog writing. You did excellent work. Your descriptives are vivid and engaging.
