Originality

Some people really seem to like my writing. I can't really imagine why. It's drawn from other people's work for the most part. It's kind of embarrassing how little you'd have to search to find quotes, story lines, and characters that have appeared in my writing. The first thing I'd ever read aloud to anyone was just my first experience on Minecraft made more realistic. How about the poem I wrote about the world escencially circling the drain? "Elective amnesia is the general mentality?" Wrong. Elective Amnesia is a song by Rise Against. And come on, a zombie apocalypse story? You can't get much more clichéd and unorigional than that. When I saved the person who rescued me from a horde of zombies by killing myself with a grenade, did Will Smith come to mind? I am no legend. My next short story? It's like Devil May Cry 3 was the surrogate mother of Kingdom Hearts' and Infamous' illegitimate child. The main character was chosen by his weapon to be it's wielder. He has the power to shoot electricity from his hands and sounds the majority of the story he is ascending a tower to find and kill his brother. My last short story, the big dragon from How to Train Your Dragon was chasing me. In a panic I too, shelter in the kitchen from Ratatouille. There, I was attacked by the demons from Dante's Inferno. My poem that Rick Roll'd an entire class was a small piece of my life, a big chunk of my friend's writing style that I sdjusted ever-so-slightly and an old Internet joke so overused that even the most calm person would become infuriated just hearing it. I guess it's just hard to be original when you're as lazy as I am. But as Mr. Garrison from South Park once quoted, "Everything's already been done."
