Phillip

It's 6:15 in the morning, and I'll have to go to school soon. I also have to go with George which will not end well. Not only that, but it's the first day of my new school year. I go on to my laptop, and try to forget about school. Hopefully, I won't be going at all since I live on a farm. Unfortunately, I'm wrong, "Phillip the bus is here. Get off the laptop!" my dad says. "Tell that driver to go away!" I say, preying that I don't go. Then comes the threat, "Do as I say, or we move to America!" No, not America!! "Fine, I'll go." I say as I turn my laptop off. Just as I get out of my...

Scotland: A Tartan Dream Destination

posted by deedragongirl

Edinburgh

Hi guys, since I have only been to London, England. Here are my reasons on why Scotland is my dream destination.

1) Edinburgh & Glasgow

These 2 cities are my current favourites on going to Scotland, especially Edinburgh because it brings out the Scottish culture in their castles and villages. They will come alive when set foot into the city, and it's like stepping into the medieval times of Scotland.
Glasgow is very much like Kuala Lumpur, despite that they still remain their historical monuments.

2) Scottish Tartans

I'm a proud owner of a Scottish tartan that I bought from Uniqlo, I love the kilt because it shows the traditions of the Scottish people and you can only see them wearing on formal occasions.

3) Scottish Music

I love the Celtic music and the bagpiper, I'm glad that Scotland has some similar cultures with Ireland. Another dream destination!

From the Highlands!

Here are my three reasons why I love to go to Scotland!

Glasgow

Ivanhoe?

Scottish Bagpiper

STOP TPP! COME ON! SIGN AND SPREAD THE WORD!

THIS IS VERY URGENT AND NOT A JOKE! ALSO DON'T GOOF OFF!!!!

I really mean it! What would you be able to do if SOPA/TPP censors the internet? What would you be able to do if writing fanfics and drawing fanarts become illegal? What would you do if it's illegal to do a cover of your favorite song on YouTube? What would you do if downloading things from the internet (music, movies, TV episodes, etc) became illegal? What would you do if SOPA/TPP wins the war and takes away internet freedom? Net Neutrality is already dead so far, we can't risk the freedom of internet...

If it weren't for George, I would've died. Thanks to him, he stopped some guys from going on strike against my dad. Just give him a gun, and he's off at work. Three days later, the police arrived. "Dad!" I said. Soon he comes downstairs, and so does George. Two officers come out of the car, and so does a woman. "My aunt. What's she doing here?" George says. "She must be here to take you home." my dad says. "Allright." George's aunt comes in the house to get George, and he doesn't resist. He just walks towards her, and they get into the car. "He didn't say goodbye to any of us." dad says....

As we leave for the airport, one of my workers drives in my way, and another one points a gun at me. "What are you doing?!" "We've had enough of you James! Get out, and don't go to the airport!" This was all Phillip's fault. Why is the guy shouting at me? It's a good thing George is in the back, because the rifles are in there. Thankfully he gets his rifle instead of mine, and shoots the guy trying to kill me. I drive away, nearly hitting the S2000 in my way. The guy in the S2000 follows us, and shoots my truck with a mini uzi. A bullet nearly hit George, and he returns fire immediately....

George

Things were going good on my first day, and then the police arrived. I thought for a moment they came to take me back into America, but they were here for Phillip. Somehow, he got expelled on the first day of school. He was playing games in class, and he beat up not only a student, but a teacher, and the principle. Who does that?! I heard that if Phillip wasn't cooperating, then we would have to move into America. This worries me a little, because I don't know if any of my aunts or uncles will try and adopt me from my current dad. I like my family, although he's a farmer that only plants...

Many laws in America, and England are the same. One of them is that you have to be 21 or older to go hunting. If I knew this, I wouldn't have gone hunting. My dad completely forgot about how old I had to be, "I'm sorry George, I didn't know you were too young." he said. I don't blame him for forgetting, he wanted me to have a good time, and he almost got it. I at least got some money for shooting deer. We return to the farm, and Phillip is waiting for us. "How did it go?" he asked. "It was good, but I forgot George was too young for hunting." dad said. Phillip then starts laughing at...

It's a nice day at my hunting range. I see a lot of people showing up in either jeeps or range rovers, then a green '47 Dodge pulls in. My No. 1 customer is driving that car, James. I see someone sitting next to him, it looks like his son, but he looks a little taller. "Hello James. Who's this guy?" "This is my new son that I adopted. His name is George." Then George says hello, with an american accent. He sounds like he's from California. "Where ya from mate?" I ask him. "Los Angeles. Something happened to my parents, and I had to get adopted." he responds. I can tell that he doesn't...

There are many things I like about George. One of them is that he is always willing to learn. I guess he's just happy because I got him out of the orphanage. That, and I'm taking him hunting. If he could murder two people, just by shooting their car's tires, and making them spin out of control he can shoot a deer with a rifle. I just have to buy more ammunition, and pick up the rifle I ordered. Halfway to the hunting range, and we get to my favorite shop. "Hello Darwin. How are you?" I say when I enter the building. "I'm good today. Is this your son you adopted?" He asks pointing towards...

I have no idea what Phillip was doing last night. Don't get me wrong, but it's as if he doesn't like me, or my dad. I'm not sure if things will go like the story Old Yeller, where the main character starts liking the dog, after he ruins stuff for him. I'm not a dog, and I'm pretty sure I won't get rabies, so things will go way different when Phil starts to like me. He is like the only one, out of ten people on that farm that does not like me. As a result, dad, and a few of the workers talk to me about him. Sometimes they'll say stuff like, don't worry about him or, He's just angry about...

Phillip didn't seem too impressed with the brother I adopted for him. There isn't much that he likes, but most of what he likes I can't tolerate. Everytime he's finished with his work on the farm he's talking to his friends on facebook! Unfortunately George does this to, but he doesn't do everything Phillip does. He plays mobster games or anything that has guns in it. He also likes Car Town, and that's what he's playing when I enter his room. "What do you think of this place so far?" "It's nice," he says. His face explains it all, he's happy here. "It's not much, but I'm glad you like...

I see my dad pull into the driveway after adopting a brother for me. I see him wearing a Cardinals jersey, and I know he likes baseball. Perhaps he even likes rugby. I continue with my work, plowing the fields after the potatoes have been picked. Then my dad calls for me. As I get towards his truck I talk to my new brother, then I'm shocked at what he says. "Hello, I'm George." It's not what he said that shocked me, it's how he said it. I have an american brother, that's bloody great, not! I then have to teach him how to plow the fields, "We've got another horse with a plow, so get...

Author's note: Before you go asking what this story has to do with Great Britain, and everything in it, this story takes place 20 miles west of London.

George

Now if you had your parents killed by gang members, how would you act? Would you try and make a run for it? Or take cover, and wait for the gangsters to take off? I might have been 14, but I owned a gun. When two gangsters drove past my Parent's car in a Dodge Viper flying past at 30 miles an hour, shooting both my parents, I pulled it out, and shot one of the tires causing the car to crash into another car. Both of the gangsters did not...
