Subject:	John Smith 2: Electric Bugaloo
Time:	11:57 am.

SURF OVER TO THE STUDENT ACTIVITIES FAIR!!!

ORGANIZATIONS SIGNED UP WITH: 6

GROUPS THAT SHAMED ME INTO SIGNING UP BECAUSE I SIGNED UP WITH THE ONE NEXT TO IT: the Juggling Club and Habitat for Humanity (right, you want me building your house, poor man?)

GROUPS THAT I SIGNED UP WITH BECAUSE THE REALLY CUTE JEWEL RESEMBLING BRITISH-CANADIAN-AMERICAN GIRL THAT SITS BEHIND ME IN THEORY OF COMMUNICATIONS (WHICH ONLY MEETS ONCE A WEEK) AND I HAD SOME WEIRD CHEMISTRY WITH WAS SITTING AT THE TABLE AND WAVED TO ME AND DID I MENTION SHE LOOKS LIKE JEWEL: the Philosophy Club (I made a lame joke about togas, but there was a laugh and a brief discussion. I wonder what we'll name our children?)

GROUP I SIGNED UP WITH BECAUSE I'M CURIOUS ABOUT THE SORT OF PEOPLE THAT WOULD SHOW UP TO A MEETING LIKE THAT AND BECAUSE THEY WERE GIVING AWAY KEYCHAIN BOTTLE OPENERS THAT SAY "THE BEST PARTY ON CAMPUS" (PICTURES FORTHCOMING): the Young Republicans. To be fair, I didn't see the Young Democrats out there (surprisingly) or the Communists. I think I'd sign up for the communists at the very least. I like girls in berets.

GROUP I SIGNED UP WITH BECAUSE I'M CHEAP: the Bowling Club. The Bowling Alley is like two blocks from my house, I'm so there.

GROUP I ACTUALLY CAME TO SIGN UP FOR BUT NEARLY FORGOT ABOUT: WSUR, the student radio station. JOHN SMITH IS TEH BEST RADEO HOST/.

GROUP I GAVE BRIEF CONSIDERATION TO SIGNING UP FOR TO BE FUNNY: the Respiratory Therapy Club.

Adjustments.

Changed setting to Salisbury, Illinois. Wanted to distance more from NYC and capture a midwestern feel of blandness, but needed to maintain "Salisbury" as the town name because I'm thinking on calling the pilot script Steakville. Please alert me if that's insufferably stupid, sometimes I leave my common sense cap off.

Fuck it, the character's name is John Smith. He's a more neurotic, slightly more attractive and, ironically, less ego-driven me. It just sounds right to name him that, since everything he says are things that I think to myself. I can change it later if I can think of a better name, and probably will.

The following scene is out of sequence, coming in the last third of the episode, maybe later.

( As usual, I apologize for the formatting. )

( short scene, it comes later on, but I only had a snippet of time while I'm on break at the Gap, so I pumped this out. )

( VAUGHN His name is Jack Smith. And from what I can see, he’s a completely enormous flake. )

Subject:	Not about a girl, yet.
Time:	4:11 am.

This was done in Final Draft, so it loses the bolds and italics that in some cases I think are necessary to get the right tone across. Also, the spacing and line breaks might not make sense immediately, but the format is basic enough that even with all that removed it mostly makes sense.

( Please give it a short read and leave a comment if you have one. It's a short scene, didn't take long to write, and opens up a germ of an idea that I've had for a little while. )
