My Life So Far (using google street view)




This is the home where me and my two sisters grew up. Its located in a nice neighborhood, on the west side of Oahu. I remember the house changing as I grew. There were extra rooms built, the grass turned to gravel, and the dirt exchanged for cement. I've had a few pets within this home, some that have passed on. Overall, many memories are stored into this home, most of which define me and my upbringing.

I went to Moanalua High School for all four years. Here is where I joined the air rifle team, a sport in which shooting guns was allowed on campus. I was also part of the orchestra, but sadly, I have not touched the instrument I played since then. Other than that, I didn't do many other extracurricular activities. This is also where I met my first roommate, who moved up to San Francisco with me for college.

This is the first in-law I rented with my previously mentioned roommate. The two years I spent in this unit was comparably more exciting than the eighteen years I lived in Hawaii. Going out in the middle of the night to the nearest fast food restaurant, or being a tourist and going up to fisherman's wharf for sourdough bread-bowls, meeting new people with absolutely awesome ideas on life, religion, and culture, all these things were some of my first experiences in San Francisco.

City College of San Francisco was the first college that I've attended, and still attend. I've been here for about three years now, and the education I've gained is immeasurable. I've been working towards a certificate in the Animation program, but quite honestly, it's taken me more time than I've anticipated to obtain the certificate. This is also where I met my current boyfriend, whom I have been dating now for two and a half years. I had to travel two thousand miles across the pacific just to meet him.

Expression College is where I would like to transfer if I plan to continue my education. Honestly though, I've been told many times that I do not need a continuing education after my certificate, and that most companies in my field look at portfolios over credentials. That's very relieving, as I have no idea how I'm going to afford college after City. Expression does look promising, but let's just see where life takes me.

Story Brief

The story is cast in the post-apocalyptic wasteland. The cause of this apocalypse is bio-weaponry, where a deadly virus has wiped out 90 percent of the entire human population. This story, does not, however, focus heavily on the cause or the reason for this outbreak, but rather on the experience of one woman and those she encounters on her journey for survival.

Over the course of this story, the main character is put under the stresses of survival, and must make decisions that may or may not be morally sound. The audience will also see the effects of the struggle for survival, whether it'd be paranoia, hopelessness, etc.

The Addams' Family Screenplay

Addams' Family Screenplay

EXT. JUST OUTSIDE THE ADDAMS' GROUNDS - SAME TIME
14
TULLY ALFORD, the family attorney, and his wife, MARGARET, approach "GATE," a wrought-iron monstrosity that opens of its own accord. Though Tully comes here often and Margaret has been here before, they never cease to be startled by "Gate."
Tully has a puffy, once handsome face, and an embittered grey aura that is the mark of a middle-age misspent. High-strung and superficial, Margaret is more disappointed in Tully than he is in himself.
Margaret passes through Gate first. Then, as Tully passes through, Gate slams on him, clipping him and catching the end of his coat. Tully fights Gate for his coat.
TULLY
Let me go! Ignoring Tully, Margaret continues stiffly up the walk.
TULLY (to Gate)
Gimme that! Stop it! I'm warning you! It's not a good day!
