What are the "Life Lessons"?
The Life Lessons at the Starkiller academy began as an idea in mid 2001. The idea came about from the highly amusing structure of the "Life Lessons at the Sith Academy" fan fiction site. The premise for my life lessons was simple: write about various things that had occurred in my life that were funny, or put a funny spin on various events. Basically, the life lessons were designed to be amusing, with a very large dollop of self parody thrown into the mix. I put these up periodically on my various live journals, and as my LJ's are all friends protected, only a handful of people could see them. They became, however, the most popular part of my LJ writing. I still write the life lessons, so this section will be periodically updated.
There's no real set time when I write a life lesson post, it just occurs when I think of something funny and decide to write it down. As well as the 'official' life lessons are several other pieces of self-deprecatory humour that I had on my live journal. Basically, these pieces are writings that garnered a lot of comments and amusement from my LJ friends. So, among the pieces titled 'Life Lessons at the Starkiller Academy,' there are a small number of pieces that are not life lessons per se, but are pieces of amusing events in my day to day life.
The time line of the content of the life lessons is broad. These stories come from memories of my life from as early as 7 years old, right up to the last two or three years. They cover everything in content from what only-children get up to when they're bored, to events at gigs, to weird things I've done just for the hell of it. All the life lessons are designed as humour - they are not meant to be taken as words of wisdom on how to live your life, merely the recounting of my easily amused self of events in my life. Also, I'm getting old, and the memory ain't what it used to be. *snerk*
