LBJ
Forgive me, this may not mean anything to anyone but me. I feel the need to get the idea out, though! Hold me to it. I should write this:
I’m taking a playwriting class in the Fall where the primary assignment will be the creation of a stage adaptation of some figure from history. Coincidentally, I’m currently writing a pretty large research paper about Lyndon Johnson where I’m listening to his phone calls in 1964. Ding! I could take actual conversations and adapt them into dialogue! It could be a story of young LBJ and Dick Russell, who grow up friends together but eventually become enemies over the topic of Civil Rights. You know, like Magneto and Professor X. Right? I know, it sounds crazy now, but trust me! It’s got potential!
Coincidentally, Holly and I are pulling a pseudo all-nighter to honor our Graduate Student heritage. Education isn’t working until you fall asleep on your keyboard!

Play on historical figures, eh? That’s pretty awesome. I love your idea! Especially if both parties receive super human powers and try to either save/destroy the world.
..um, yeah.
