    Dostoevsky's Notes from the Underground's and Callaghan's Such is My Beloved's protagonists and relating them to Berdyaev's creative ethics and whether or not they exemplify it. With occasional reference, as need be, with some pre-Existentialist and Existentialist thinkers.

    Working in sweet references was only a last resort when I couldn't base my entire assignment around some form of pop culture - most likely video games specifically Final Fantasy. My origins here stem from one such endeavour, and I still attribute my passing school entirely to video games. Without the knowledge I gained there and the sneaky ideas to steal I would never have made it all the way. I simply cannot even recount the various assignments and references, but oh man, good times.

    Do you still have the essay around somewhere? Sounds like it would be an interesting read.

    I once re-wrote an essay on consumer law and pointed out that the consumer often agrees to things without reading them and how ignorance of the fact doesn't constitute not legally being bound by the terms laid out in the contract. My example was EULA's common to many games.

    I just wrote a paper on the Teleological and Cosmological arguments for God!

    I've been putting it off for 2 weeks.

    It took me 10 minutes to write.

    In a final exam on Roman History, I was writing an essay on Rome's technological capabilities, and whether or not they were really as advanced as they could have been. As with all exams, I was getting a bit loopy by the end, and found myself writing "[the Romans were quite advanced but they could've done better]; they didn't even have Internet!".

    That's a shame. I hate when you have those moments of genius on things you aren't allowed to keep.

    I once wrote an essay for my intro english class in college about the impending robot invasion. The prompt was how does that college prepare kids for the future. I quoted novels and movies and such. It was aligning that we were preparing ourselves to craft our future overlords. Well written I though but I got a D because it wasn't based in reality and my sources were not factual, or so he wrote in the notes. So I contested it and he changed it to a B.

    In 6th grade English we had to write something about news, so I wrote about the development of Final Fantasy VIII, which hadn't been released yet.

    In 7th grade English for a creative writing paper, I wrote what was essentially a mini-sequel to Suikoden II. I don't have it anymore.

    I took a creative writing class my junior year of college, and one of my short stories was about a real life game of mafia (which I called Death Note). I got an A on it.

    Yeah, they are rather straight forward. Go Aquinas, go!

    My paper has been handed in but it was a rather shoddy job. :/
