Rebuttal Bitch

Have a character espouse a viewpoint on life with which you very much disagree, but have the character argue it well, citing examples from her life to buttress her stance. Resist the temptation to make her sound foolish or harsh. Write this in the third or first person, from the narrative.

Gays cannot be married. How am I supposed to explain to my children that a man and a man can be together when the bible tells us otherwise. If gay marriage were to be legalized, a straight man could marry a straight man just to reap the federal benefits from the marriage. It's just not the way God intended it. A penis fits perfectly into the vagina. It is meant for procreation and a child brought up in a straight heterosexual marriage will be more stable than one brought up in a homosexual marriage. Also, if we allow gays to raise children, what's stopping them from teaching their kids to be gay. Because it's obviously a choice. Right?

The room is like next-gen white. Everything is clean and simple. The Mac in front of me is about two inches thick and the modems are quiet as shit. Katie is typing sporadically next to me. She's on twitter, though, so it shouldn't continue for much longer. She's wearing a blue skirt-sweater with stockings and boots. The unused Macs in front of me day dream about color squibs. The lights are florescent white. The tables are finished wood. It actually looks like the inside of a genius bar at a Mac store. Random clicking can be heard around the room as if we're helping the computers communicate to each other via Morse Code.

Symphony for the Solo

The first short film I've ever made. Filmed entirely over the course of two weeks using just one camcorder and iMovie to edit. The music was also my own original composition, recorded on Garageband. ten minutes of an entire hour of playing
