Well, I’ve been creating a plot for a story that’s good 4 either a book or movie because it’s summer and I needed some leisure time. I would just want to know what do you think?

Here’s the story:

It’s about a guy named Sean who has been getting bad luck after quitting his job as a literacy critic for a magazine to pursue his dream as a novelist. His girlfriend left him for a rich man, his landlord’s chasing him for rent money, and he’s suffering from writer’s block. He has since drown into depression, and had several suicide attempts.

His seventh attempt was the last straw as he was kicked out of his apartment and was living on the streets. His older brother Roger finds him on the street and took him to his loft. Sean learns that Roger’s gay, as Roger’s been hiding it from the family ever since, and mentions Roger about his status in high school as being popular and dating many girls (he learns they used him for fashion advice and he only had an eye for the captain of the soccer team).

After passing out at a bar, Sean was taken back to the loft, as a flower plant suddenly drops from the upper level and breaks a priceless antique, or in Roger’s case, a chair once sat by Gianni Versace. Sean then encounters the neighbour, Eileen, for the first time, as she complains with Roger and his lover, Jamie, over the hole she created.

He would meet her again the next day, during her day job as a dog walker. Eileen is a free-spirit whose family knows every Hollywood legend from the classic era, dresses oddly, is very klutzy, has a child-like behavior, likes to talk about mindless things, always breaks the rules, loves to watch strangers and dub over their conversations with music or with her imagination and loves to have fun. Sean also learns of her night job as a singer at a cabaret, and her long-going feud with Roger and Jamie over Eileen killing their dog (The dog was chased by one of Eileen’s dogs and was ran over by a taxi).

Sean begins to hang out with Eileen more, even when they fix the hole in the apartment. Eileen’s bohemian personality was a sudden change to Sean’s organized and depressed life, as he is becoming more outgoing and getting luck with a new book deal. He suddenly begins to fall in love with Eileen. He confesses it to her, but it was too late as Eileen leaves her apartment and Sean behind to further her music career.

When they reunite, Sean has become a best-selling author for his book about his relationship with Eileen and Eileen is touring with her Vegas-performing brother. Sean learns that this will be his last chance to win Eileen back, and he is willing to take risks to win back the girl.

Well, the title I chose is "A Girl Like You" and if the plot sounds familar to you, let me know cause it’s just a draft and I’ve been getting a feeling it was done before. As well, I’m also in high school.
- about Sean’s book, it’s actually based on his relationship with Eileen, not his autobiography.

We used to live in an area that was known to have a lot of haunted homes. Our house was not exception. I have always believed in ghosts but my dh said that was total bs. Until I heard the ghost standing by the threshold of our bedroom and dh woke up and told the ghost to leave now. This is our home. I was then convinced since I never told him about the ghost that house.
We have experienced many tragedies and hardships in that house.and never thought much of thinking wow we have just bad luck.
The previous owner had a sad life too and towards his end, he did have alzheimers and was convinced someone lived in the attic and had the attic door so blocked it took dh 2 hours to finally open the door.
When we finally put the for sale sign up on the house that night a mirror that was securely bolted to the wall just slammed down for no reason. I guess the ghost was upset that we were going to leave him.

We bought some furniture that was in the house when were buying our house. and we brought that furniture with us to our new house. We have still had our share of tragedies and hardships that seem more frequent than other people we know.
dh is now convinced the bad JU JU from the old house followed us and that we should burn the furniture that we have from the old house. We also have an antique Noritake vase and some old hand tools and a few kitchen tools.
What should we do with them?
