I decided to write mine in a story format. Because I consider myself a story teller and it’s a big part of my life. But I have the story written and then posted in the wrong order because I have a very hectic life and I feel that putting it out of order portrays that about me. In the story are characters, songs and scenes that are important in my life and about my personality. The song that plays in the story is a hymn and a metal song playing over one another to add a strange dichotomy and show two different sides of myself. In the story Lana Del Rey only speaks in song lyrics. That represents my love for her music but also that I love to use quotes in my daily vernacular. GIFs also make an appearance quite a bit in the project. I love using GIFs to explain myself especially in terms of inside jokes or situations that only a specific person will understand the use of the GIF. In this project I created a GIF of screenshots of my friend Tripp – who is also a character in the story (expect his voice in it is actually mine and how I would react, not him). I use screenshots of Tripp when texting mutual friends of ours as my own person form of emoji and because it’s entertaining for my friends and I. So I decided to create a GIF of screenshots of him to show how I love to use GIFs as expression, all the GIFs represent “anger” to show my short-fused personality, and it’s of photos of Tripp who is one of my best friends and a big role in my life. I used fictional characters and places as well to represent the books, TV shows and what not that I enjoy. And it all took place on an airplane because traveling a big part of my life. I wanted to do it on WordPress because I liked the idea of keeping all my class material on one platform. But I did not do pages because I have an entirely unorganized life and making everything aesthetically pleasing would not accurately represent my life.
Crowley: I smelt smoke… OH HEY LANA! Light me up one, babe!
Aziraphale: CROWLEY! Smoking is not allowed on this flight!
Crowley: Oh bugger off, ya twat! *blows smoke in his face*
Tripp: Crowley.. if you are both standing here… who’s flying the plane?
Crowley: Magic. Now piss off.
Tripp: you’re not allowed to smoke on flights, Lana.
Lana: Parliament’s on fire and his hands are up
Tripp: No one’s hands are up! *cough* just put that out!
Lana: *picks up Tripp’s whiskey and take’s a long sip*
Aziraphale: Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking –
Crowley: I’M the captain. You’re the lame ass co-pilot, let’s be real.
Aziraphale: …this is your CO-pilot speaking. We will now be coming around with food and beverages for purchase.
J.D.: I wonder if they serve Appletini’s on this flight.
Stewardess: Would you guys like to purchase any food or beverages?
Lana: Diet Mountain Dew, baby.
Tripp: Huh.. finally you’re lyric problem actually makes some fucking sense. Do you have any ZzzQuil? Maybe a horse tranquilizer? Anything to help me sleep. Seriously.
Stewardess: I’m sorry, sir, but we don’t sell drugs on this flight, much to Crowley’s dismay. Aziraphale insisted on it.
J.D.: drugs are dangerous, you know.
Tripp: How about I pay you $30 to punch me in the face as hard as you can? Knock me the fuck out so I don’t have to deal with these lunatics.
Stewardess: I’m sorry, sir. I can offer you some booze?
Tripp: *sigh* Whiskey, please.
J.D.: It’s like they don’t even realize we can hear them…
Lana: Hello, hello. C-can you hear me? I can be your China doll, if you want to see me fall.
Tripp: I’d like to see you fall out of the plane. Yeah. How’s that for ya?
Lana: you’re screwed up and brilliant, look like a million dollar man. So why is my heart broken?
Tripp: *puts his head in his hands* I can’t. I just can’t.
J.D.: I’m a doctor. I can fix that broken heart. If that’s cool?
Lana: He said to “be cool” but I’m already coolest. I said to “get real”, “don’t you know who you’re dealing with? Um, do you think you’ll buy me lots of diamonds?
Tripp: Are you guys going to flirt over me the entire time? J.D., dude. Switch seats with me. Please.
J.D.: that’s not the seat I paid for, though.
Tripp: It’s the same damn thing, man. Just switch seats with me. PLEASE.
Lana: pick me up and take me like a vitamin. ‘Cause my body’s sweet like sugar venom, oh yeah
Tripp:
blast off!
Crowley: Hello ladies and gentlemen. This is your captain, Crowley, speaking. Please prepare for take off.
Aziraphale: How do you turn this machine off?
Crowley: Seriously, man? You’re an angel. Use the “power of God” to turn it off.
Aziraphale: I can’t get it off man, seriously.
Crowley: Fuck it, dude. Just play us some tunes. Let these idiots on board listen.
Aziraphale: *turns on hymns*
Crowley: DUDE, NO! *switches it to metal*
Aziraphale: excuse me? I don’t think this is appropriate. *switches it back to hymns*
Crowley: *switches back to metal but breaks it so both audios play at the same time*

Aziraphale: awesome, man. Great. Good job. This is an entirely new form of blasphemy. You happy?
Crowley: I’m a demon… of course I’m fucking happy about it, you twat.
Tripp: Here’s how this is going to go. As soon as the flight is up I am going to plug in my headphones and go to sleep. You are not going to talk to me. Okay? I cannot handle this today.
Lana: They think I don’t understand, the freedom land of the 70’s. I think I’m too cool to know ya, you say I’m like the ice I freeze.
Tripp: honestly, I think you’re broken.
J.D.: What a pleasant surprise!!! Are you guys seated here?! I’m seated right across the aisle! How fun is this going to be?
Lana: Hello, hello. C-can you hear me?
Tripp: this is a fucking joke isn’t it? Bring out Ashton, I am being Punk’d!
Aziraphale: Welcome aboard. I’ll be one of your pilots on today’s flight to Westeros. What’s your seat number?
Tripp: 4B
Aziraphale: That will be down the aisle to the left, sir.
Tripp: Fuck. No. You have got to fucking kidding me!
Lana: Hello, hello. C-can you hear me?
Tripp: God, why are you doing this to me?
Lana: In the land of Gods and –
Tripp: NO! STOP! Stewardess! Strewardess, hi. Is there any possibility I can get a seat change?
Stewardess: It’s an entirely booked flight, sir. I’m sorry. Please take your seat.
