If I were to put two characters from two different books on a date, I would ha e Tyler Durden from "Fight Club", and Fertility Hollis from "Survivor". They would go out at night due to the fact that Tyler Durden is only Tyler Durden at night. Upon meeting one another, Tyler would probably share his philosophies about destruction, rebirth, and perfection with Fertility. Fertility would already know about Tyler's philosophies, so upon hearing them, she would offer Tyler a chance to witness a tragedy. Tyler would accept and they would go see an event that Fertility had dreamed about weeks before. Tyler would be so happy with Fertility's gift that he would not want to leave her. But, after a few hours, Tyler would "wake up" and become his waking persona. After this, Fertility would be so excited about this unexpected change, she would never leave Tyler. After this they would live happily ever after, at least until one of them inevitably dies.

My Name
My name is Jacob Haller. My first name is spelled and pronounced as one would expect. When people first meet me, many of them pronounce my last name as if it were spelled as "Holler", with an O, which is wrong. When i think of my name, i do not believe it is very special, as it is a very common name. When i was much younger, the only association I made with my name, other than a few kids i went to school with, was the song "John Jacob Jinglehiemer Shmidt", as this was the only place i had heard my name. I do not really associate my name with much as of late, although others might. As far as nicknames go, I have two. At my father's house, and to a few people at ECHS, I go by Jake. At my house, I go by my last name, Haller, because everyone there has a different last name than me. Before I was born, my mother wanted to name me Patrick. Thankfully, my sisters talked her out of that decision. The meaning of my first name is a bit of a double-edged-sword, in that its' meaning is closely tied with the Bible, while i myself am not religious at all. Even though my name is very common, it is my name and i wear it proudly, like a badge of honor. Whether it walks behind me wherever i go or precedes me into the unknown, it has been my name since birth, and it will remain my name until i die.

If I learned everyone else on the planet was an alien, my day would probably go something like this. I would probably not be able to go to sleep because of what I just learned, so I would be up all night. At some point I would probably have some sort of an existential crisis due to the fact that, as far as I know, I am one of if not The only humane left in existence. However, after I get over the initial shock of the news I do not think my life would change very much. Even though everyone I have ever known and loved would have turned out to be an alien, they are still the people I have grown up with and the people who have cared for me all my life.

Pinata
I have been sitting in this dark room for weeks. people come and go but no one ever acknowledges me. Lately I hear them talking about something and pointing to me. Then one day they come for me. They take me outside and hang me by a tree. One by one the children come, slowly, the yard fills with them, laughing and talking. The one in the center receives gifts from the others. After a while someone leaves, then they return with a bat in their hand. He hands the bat to the first child as he slowly walks towards me. Suddenly, I realize what is about to happen but i am unable to move. All i can do is hang in anguish and wait for him to strike his first blow.

If given the option, i would choose to spend the rest of my life as a knight. I would want to be a knight because generally, knights were wealthy, fairly powerful people. Knights were usually wealthy people because the armor knights used was expensive and only well off people could afford it. I think i would enjoy my daily life because if my kingdom was not engaged in any wars, i could spend most of my time living comfortably and generally not doing much due to my wealth. When i would be called off too battle, i would be looked up to by commoners and average soldiers. Even though i am not at all suited for any sort of battle, i could hope to die an honorable death for my kingdom. All in all i think being a knight would not be too bad.

If i could have any three people over for a hot beverage, I would invite Nikola Tesla, Shigeru Miyamoto, and John Lennon. I would invite Nikola Tesla because i have always been fascinated by his work and i would love to hear about his life's work straight from the source. I would also like to know what it was like to work with Thomas Edison. I would Invite Shigeru Miyamoto because he is a personal inspiration and role model to me as well as one of the greatest game designers in the world. I would ask him everything i possibly could about game design so i could learn from his experiences. I would also ask him how he got his start at Nintendo and how it has been to work for them for the past thirty years. I would invite John Lennon because The Beatles is one of my favorite bands. I would like to ask him what it was like to be a part of one of the most influential bands in history.

Thrre things that would be on my bucket list are to go to TGS in japan, to meet Shigeru Miyamoto, and to meet Ted Price. I would like to go to TGS, which stands for Tokyo Games Show, because it is one of the world's biggest game developer's conferences in the world, i also have always wanted to go to japan. I would want to meet Shigeru Miyamoto because he is one of the most well known game designers in the world, directing games such as Super Mario Brothers, Legend of Zelda, and Metroid. Miyamoto is also considered by many people to be the father of modern gaming. Finally, i would like to meet Ted price. Ted price is the president and founder of the company Insomniac Games, one of my favorite game companies. He is also a personal inspiration of mine because he started Insomniac Games with basically nothing and grew it to be a very successful and respected game developement company.
