Drive in: Wikimedia  The Teenager Who Couldn't Stop Talking: "Whatever you do, don't make a sound" my twin sisters said in unison as we pulled into the drive in theater. I had begged them to let me go to the "R" rated movie with them the whole week and they finally agreed. I loved hanging out with my older sisters, they always tried to make me feel included even though I am younger than them. The only problem is I am only 13 so I am not old enough to get into the movie without a parent present. Because of my age, my sisters had hid me in the floorboard of the backseat with a load of pillows, blankets, and snacks. I could hear the ticket booth worker talking to my sisters. They asked for my sisters' IDs and explained that they had busted over 10 underage kids trying to sneak in. They all laughed and began to make fun of the "stupid" kids who had been caught. I began to feel my heart beating out of my chest and I felt the air under blankets getti...

Revised story @ My Portfolio Dear Diary: Flickr Dear Diary,  High school sucks! And so do BOYS! I guess maybe I should backtrack and give more details so here it goes. Me, Ambika, and Ambalika were getting ready for a night on the town like we normally do on a Saturday night. We listened to our favorite songs as we put on our makeup and danced around the room. I loved these moments with my sisters, especially now that I am a senior and will soon be leaving. When we were all finished getting ready we climb into our car and headed to the biggest high school party of the year, Bhishma's Back to School Bash. Once we made it inside I spotted Salva. We had gone the whole summer apart because he was off at camp. This party was the perfect reunion.  We danced, we kissed, we laughed, and we had an amazing time. When 1 am rolled around it was Salva's curfew so he left the party while I stayed a little longer because my sisters were still enjoying the night with  Vichitravirya, Bhis...

Revised version @ My Portfolio Benjamin Franklin Quote: Flickr Story: "Josh there is someone at the door for you." my mom yelled. Ben was standing at the door waiting as I approached. "All the neighbors are going to the skate park, aren't you coming?" I thought back to when I had asked my mom earlier, "Once you finish your homework you can go, we don't want a repeat of what happened last time do we?" I looked at Ben with a disappointed look, "Not until I finish all of my homework", Ben looked defeated, then suddenly he smiled. "I have a plan, only do your math homework, then when your mother asks if you completed all your homework you can tell her yes because you have finished all your "math" homework. Ben's idea would surely work. So I agreed and told him that I would meet him at the skate park soon. I ran to my room and completed the math homework almost effortlessly, it had always been my favorite subject. Then I we...

STORY:  One day Dashagriva was riding along when he approached a mountain, the name of this mountain was Mount Kailasha. He had heard the stories of the god Shiva and Nandi, the bull he used as his transportation, but being the overly-confident person that he was, Dashagriva was not concerned with running into either of them. As he got closer to Mount Kailasha a Bull appeared in front of him. “Turn around now, Dahagriva. This is the territory of Shiva and he wishes to have no visitors at this time.” said the Bull. Dashagriva was unbothered by this bull, who clearly was Nandi, so he continued to the mountain with a grin saying “and who is going to stop me?”, then using all of his 20 arms he lifted the mountain high above his head, “because it won’t be you, Nandi” Dashigriva continued. Shiva had been watching the altercation from above the mountain, and once Dashagriva lifted the mountain Shiva saw an opportunity to put Dahagriva in his place. So Shiva used his big toe to push down t...

Portfolio Link Nemo Horror Story Almost everyone has seen "Finding Nemo" but very few people know the horrific story of what went down behind the scenes while filming. Today I am going to tell you all about how Gill really came to get his scar.  The scene in which Marlin and Dory get into the Pelican's mouth and taken to the dentist office to find Nemo was not originally written into the script, it was created later on to replace a scene that, when first filmed, went terribly wrong.  The original scene was actually filmed using a crane rather than a pelican. In the scene the crane was supposed to carry each fish one by one to the ocean to help them escape the tank and reunite Nemo with his father. Gil volunteers to go first, the crane first had to prove his loyalty by taking Gil to the ocean and back to the dentist, without eating him.  It must also be noted that Gil was the only fish on set that did his own stunts.  While filming the scene Chris the Crane took Gill ...
