Summer and an Excerpt! Yay!

I love summer so much!!!!! I scan see my friends every day and I can go to the beach and I'm free!!! Well actually I can see my friends every day at school, too, but there you don't have enough time to talk! Anyway, I have an excerpt from a story I'm writing, since Leah said she loves them so much:

Wait first BTW if you look at like the very first few posts on here there are excerpts from the same story but a different part of the story. Anyway, here it is:

Ferra hurried inside. Even from the vast distance from the door to the throne, he could see a limp body on the floor. He ran to him, a scream escaping his lips. Tears slowly gathered in his eyes, and his throat ached as a lump grew.
Ferra threw himself to Brokk's side, sobbing. As he leaned against the otherwise cold body, he felt a strange warmth against Brokk's hand. He flipped it over, revealing the green member stone of Frale. Remembering Brokk's words at their first meeting, Ferra spied Brokk's palm, with was blackened and burned.
Now Ferra understood how Brokk had died. He swallowed hard and stood as if to prepare to face the inevitable truth: Brokk was a traitor.

You'd have to read what I've already written to really get that, even though I pretty much just ruined the whole story (which isn't finished). Right now its about 18 pages long, and I want to finish and try to get it published. Anyway, go outside and enjoy your summer!!! Bye!!!

Wish that you could but you're never gonna own me
Take me away
A hiding place

This is not what I intended
I may have failed but I have loved you from the start
Or I won't live to see another day I swear its true

3. If you want it, you already got it
If you thought it, it better be what you want
If you feel it, it must be real
Time is waiting

4. What are we supposed to do?
Can't find the reason to keep holdin on
There is nothing left to prove
How can you just deny this simple truth

5. This is for my peoples who just lost somebody
You never let me know it
I never knew I could hurt like this
I wish I could find a way not to cry

You blow a kiss but it just don't feel the same
I can't bite my tongue forever
You can tell me that there's nobody else

7. It's you and me, movin at the speed of light
It's like I waited my whole life
For this one night
It's gon be me and you on the dance floor

8. How bout a round of applause
Don't tell me you're sorry cuz you're not
But you put on quite a show
But it's over now

9. No more makin you cry
Girl we flyin on the G5 G5
Have me singin all night night night
Don't stress, don' stress, don't stress

10. So many people gonna say that they want you
Fell for the woman just when I met her
Out the many broken back doors and windows
Took my sweet time when I was bitter

Alright that is all I hope you get at least a few of these! They are pretty easy! Anyway sorry for not posting in a while; I will try to post more!!!

SO CLOSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Only nine more days!!! I can last! (I hope) Sorry I haven't been on here in like a million years!!! I've been busy and outside and such!!! This weekend we're going south to go camping!!! And there's a good chance that we might go to the same place as Jodi!!! What a coinkidink!!!!! That would be so fun!!! I could like wake up and go to her tent and be like hey!!!! I hope you all are spending lots of time having lots of fun outside!!!
I love life!!!! That was really random, but it's true. And I mean that in a completely serious way. Even the retarded stuff that I hate, I still love. Because without it, I wouldn't learn and know better and I would be less experience. And even though I suck because I am a hypocrite for saying this, I hate when people say "Just wait" or "Not right now" because (and this is kind of depressing) you could die at any moment!!! So why wait? You have to LIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't wait!!! But I'm not saying you should rush rush rush all the time! You should still have time to sit and relax and close your eyes and be happy and thank God for living and loving and laughing and everything you have, the good and the bad!!! Because everything he throws at you is an opportunity, and you have to every opportunity you get!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But don't waste it! And if you make a mistake, then that's ok, because then you'll know exactly what not to do next time. Sometimes God even gives you opportunities to make mistakes. So go do everything you said you would wait for!!!! Skydive! Scuba dive! Run a marathon! Play with your siblings! Take out the trash! climb a tree! Overcome your biggest fear! Do whatever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just go and do SOMETHING, because every moment is a moment that could be great!

Yay for Sunshine!

Hey yall! No lesson for you today, I just wanted to comment on the beeyootiful weather! I love summer! And spring! Only fifteen days of school left!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOHOO!!! Guess what? Meaghan's birthday is tomorrow!!!!!! She's twelve! Yay!!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! (I remind myself of Frosty the Snowman when he first wakes up) Anyway, I have to go to softball now! Sorry for such a short post. Why are you even sitting on your butt on the computer? GO OUTSIDE RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I MEAN IT!!! NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Mother's Day!

I hope you all are having fun with your mothers!!! Yesterday I went to Rainbow and Cub and I saw Alex E, Kevin and Kyle's mom, and Sheridan and Shaefer's mom. Then today we went to Walgreen's and I saw Jennifer's mom and sister and we said hi. Anyway, I have a 'lesson-y thing' for you all!

Everybody takes everything for granted!!! I know you hear that all the time, but it's true! Like there are people out there who have nothing, and here we are in America with so much, and we're not in the least bit thankful!!! We have music and sports and houses and TV's and school (yes, you should be thankful) and everything, and yet we still complain!!! And the birds when you wake up in the morning, and the warm sunshine, and the awesome friends, and the people who are really nice and do random acts of kindness. And now I'm reminding myself of Mrs. Merchant, but it's so true! People should be nicer!!! But that's not the point that I'm trying to get across! The point is, you should be thankful for what you have. Even the little stuff. Like sunny days or mothers. Or baby birds or llamas (that was random. Tia's sister wants a llama) So just take the time to be thankful for everything that you have. Be thankful for life!!!!!!!!!

Move Along

It's funny how so many people freak out. Like whether its a test, or a lot of homework, or something lost, or whatever, they just completely freak out and worry. Even if it already happened, like they didn't do so great on an assignment, they'll worry and worry and worry even though it already happened. And I'm not saying that I don't do that. Like for instance, in the past two days I have managed to lose quite a few things, and I have been worrying so much. But OH WELL. That's like my motto. Why worry if it already happened? You can't change it. You're only wasting your time. Think of all the other things you could be doing instead of worrying. And worrying causes wrinkles! Relax, because chances are whatever you're worrying about is STUPID! Think of it this way: in ten, or even two years, will you remember this??? Probably not. So forget whatever's on your mind, okay??? Tomorrow's Friday! Don't worry, be happy!!! As Louisse/hippies would say: Chill out, dudes!!! Be mellow!!!!!

Joy

That title is because I'm happy!!! Sorry I haven't posted in a while, I haven't been on the computer in a long time. I have the song Pocketful of Sunshine in my head. It's really good and inspiring. The song Breathe by Anna Nalick is really good too. It's not that common so in case you haven't heard it here are the lyrics:
2 AM and she calls me 'cause I'm still awake,
"Can you help me unravel my latest mistake?,
I don't love him. Winter just wasn't my season
"Yeah we walk through the doors, so accusing their eyes
Like they have any right at all to criticize,
Hypocrites. You're all here for the very same reason
'Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button, girl.
So cradle your head in your hands
And breathe... just breathe,Oh breathe, just breathe
May he turned 21 on the base at Fort Bliss
"Just a day" he said down to the flask in his fist,
"Ain't been sober, since maybe October of last year."
Here in town you can tell he's been down for a while,
But, my God, it's so beautiful when the boy smiles,
Wanna hold him. Maybe I'll just sing about it.
Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable,
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table.
No one can find the rewind button, boys,
So cradle your head in your hands,
And breathe... just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe
There's a light at each end of this tunnel,
You shout 'cause you're just as far in as you'll ever be out
And these mistakes you've made, you'll just make them again
If you only try turning around.
2 AM and I'm still awake, writing a song
If I get it all down on paper, it's no longer inside of me,
Threatening the life it belongs to
And I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd
Cause these words are my diary, screaming out loud
And I know that you'll use them, however you want to
But you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable,
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button now
Sing it if you understand.
and breathe, just breathe
woah breathe, just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe.

Also, the song Angels by Jessica Simpson that is soooo good:
"Angels"
I sit and wait does an angel contemplate my fate
and do they know the places
Where we go when we're grey and old
'cos I've been told that salvation lets their wings unfold
So when I'm lying in my bed thoughts running through my head
And i feel that love is dead I'm loving angels instead
[Chorus:]
And through it all he offers me protection a lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong and down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me I know that life won't break me
When I come to call he won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead
When I'm feeling weak and my pain walks down a one way street
I look above
And I know I'll always be blessed with love
and as the feeling grows
He breathes flesh to my bones and when love is dead
I'm loving angels instead
[Chorus]
[Repeat Chorus]

Listen to it on YouTube! It's really good. Another good song is Fall For You by Secondhand Serenade, but I won't put the lyrics on here. This post is longish so bye now!!!

Fine...

FINE! I'll post something different!!! You have no idea how desperate you all sound! But just because I don't post every day doesn't mean I take that long to post! Some people take forever! But sorry my computer time is limited- don't ask why. So say goodbye to the daily post- at least for now. Anyway, I'll do 'like an exerpt or something'.

She started with a walk. Slow and easygoing, in no hurry at all. But she gradually became too impatient and speeded up. When even that was too slow, she kicked off her shoes and sprinted across the field. When she came to the stream, her heart pounded faster, but she leapt over it with ease. Soon she was there.
The bright sun shone through the thick canopy of leaves, casting a green light through the trees. The stream had become a creek, wider and clearer. Needles blanketed the ground and gave the whole place a fresh, earthy smell. Birds chirped overhead.
She stepped up to a thick log that led across the creek. Following the familiar path that she knew by heart, she made her way to the tree. It must have been centuries old. It towered above all the other trees. The trunk was wide enough to wrap twelve arms around, and was covered in knarly bark. Its branches twisted up and around, reaching out like crooked fingers. The girl climbed quickly up the tree, nimble with experience. Her bare feet were tough and the bark was soft with wear. When she reached her spot, she settled herself in comfortably and fell asleep.
It was dark when she awakened. The stars were barely visible through the trees and a cool breeze wisped across her hot face. She heard rustling in down below, and stiffened. The sound soon stopped, as if someone was trying to stifle it.
A twig cracked.
A dark figure crept below her. The girl stayed perfectly still, not daring to breathe. A flashlight clicked on and she turned away, hugging the tree for cover. Carefully, she leaned around again to see what was going on. When she saw who the figure was, she nearly screamed with despair.
No! she thought. This was the last place that she had thought they would look. She had thought she was safe here!

That wasn't the best, but I guess it was okay. Bye!!!

HAHAHA!!! CAUGHT IN THE ACT!!!

In your face, pipscreech!!!!!!! You ARE meaghan and I can prove it!!! Megabomb commented at 8:44 Pacific Time, and "Pipscreech" commented at 8:45 Pacific Time!!! IN YOUR FACE!!!!! I told you so!!!

I was just typing what they said in the movie. So yeah I have to go now more later bye!

Well Hello There!!!

IT'S FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Like most of you all know, I get hyper in the afternoons and evenings. And ESPECIALLY on Fridays!!! So I'm being a freakishly hyper freak. Guess what? I'm allergic to cats. I like cupcakes. And astounding products. Can you guess what movie I'm watching. I'M SO EXCITED!!! I LOVE the kupcake-anator!!! It can make cupcakes out of ANYTHING you have in your kitchen. Anything? ANYTHING. Anything? ANYTHING. Anything? ANYTHING!!! Hang in there, baby! Yeah, I'm being random. Get over it! Wow I'm a freak. CHOCOLATE THUND-A! I'm so random and hyper!!! Oh scary!!! It's a freaky spider thing! There is a fat woman in a closet. And Ben.

A New Champion and A New Blog

We have a winner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Louisse is hereby the first person to get all of the questions right!!! And that one was hard.
Also, Tia has a blog so go to the links and click on hers!!! And for LA, you know how we are doing poems? Well go to the link labeled Katie-Who-I-Don't-Know's Blog and there are some really really good poems there!!!
Thank you all for not saying that I am mean or unsocial!!! I guess I can live with being unique. That could be a good thing, right? Well, anyway, it's better than being mean. (JENNIFER) JK, Jennifer you're not mean (most of the time).
OK. I have a very important announcement to make. I have told you all this a million times! When you comment, CLICK ON NAME AND URL. YOU DON'T HAVE TO TYPE IN THE URL, I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT IS!!! JUST TYPE YOUR NAME!!! Otherwise I won't know who you are!
OK today we did stupid tests. It was our last day. But we got to have so much free time and we weren't allowed to learn!!! So anyway I was reading because I was done with my test, and Louisse came over to sit by me. Then I was putting my head down and trying to go to sleep but I couldn't because Louisse was staring at me. Then I accidentally did something embarrassing which I am not going to say. And Louisse please don't tell. So anyway then we both started cracking up!!! And everybody was looking at us like OMG you guys are freaks. So then Louisse went back to sit in her spot because we didn't want to get in trouble, but every time we looked at each other we freaked out and started laughing. And then in Language Arts something funny happened:
So Mrs. Peterfeso was like "Everybody go sit down." And people were still standing up so she said it again and again and she kept saying it until people sat down but they were still standing so she kept saying it. And so she was starting to sound like a broken record. So finally John sat down and then Igor's like "Good job, John, you broke Mrs. Peterfeso!" And we all started laughing. But Mrs. Peterfeso's just like "Hmm, interesting." until we stopped. But then she's like "Hmm, interesting," again and so we started to laugh again. And then Mrs. Peterfeso's like to Leah, "I thought that was pretty disrespectful, didn't you?" and Leah's like "Yeah." But anyway then Mrs. Peterfeso was just silent. I was biting my lip and my tongue and my cheek so I wouldn't laugh because it was so hilarious!!! And soon I was literally crying because I couldn't laugh!!! It was sooooooo funny!!! Anyway that's all for now so bye!!!

1. The smell of your skin lingers on me now
That this has nothing to do with you
I must take the baby steps till I'm full grown
But it's time for me to go home

2. In the front seat of his car
I look around
When we're on the phone and you talk real slow
I was walking up the front porch steps

3. Steady hands just take the wheel
You start to wonder why you're here not there
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
Can you see what I see?

4. The pieces of my heart are missing you
I've never felt this way before
All I ever wanted was for you to know
I miss you

5. This life hasn't turned out
I need a credit card that's got no limit
I want a new tour bus full of old guitars
I"m gonna trade this life

6. No, it's never gonna be that simple
That we'd be perfect for each other
We'd never have to wonder
If we missed out on each other

7. Let's take it from the top
Whoa, I never meant to brag
Second chances they don't ever matter
To steal it all away from you now

8. I never had to say goodbye
You must have known I wouldn't stay
You never heard me break your heart
You'll never see me again

9. The pen's in my hand
Staring at the blank page before you
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it

10. High school she was that girl

10. Don't Stop the Music by Rihanna

I might do another one tomorrow but I'm really tired now and I don't feel like looking up songs and lyrics right now. Making this game is actually really hard work! First I have to think of ten songs, which can take a while because my mind blanks, and then if I can't think of the lyrics I have to look them all up online.
So we're supposed to get TEN inches of snow tomorrow!!! Actually, I heard six on the radio, Paige said seven, Jackie said ten, and Colin said twelve!!! Today in LA while we were supposed to be working me, Annelise, Colin and Matt were finding out the average and it is 7.7. On the bright side, a lot of people (including me) think we're going to have a snow day tomorrow!!! (and yes, Jennifer, it IS possible!!!) Last year we got out of school early one day and the next day we had a snow day!!! It was so awesome cuz it messed up the whole school day!!!
Anyway, I g2g now so bye!

Zippity Doo Dah!

It's a beautiful day!!! Not as warm as I would have hoped, but compared to the last few days today is awesome! There really is nothing else to write about! Wait! I'll do another song game.

1. Think you need a new one
I think we should get together now
You know it's not a secret
I know you talk about me all the time again and again

2. If I should die before I wake
It's so hard for me to breathe
Got me out here in the water so deep
Tell me how you gon' breathe without me

3. You mean well, but you make this hard on me
I learned the hard way
Your twisted words
Your help just hurts

4. And hearts all over the world tonight
I'm so glad that you're mine
I don't want nobody else
I just need you all or nothing

5. I've been awake for awhile now
And I crinkle my nose
The rain is fallin on my window pane
That you make me smile

6. I fake a smile so he won't see
I laugh cuz it's just so funny
He's all I think about at night
He's the song in the car I keep singing

7. All of a sudden I forget that I was upset
So that I can't mad at you
I can't stand how much I need you
That's how much I love you

8. Sometimes I walk a little faster
Sad, you're not seeing what you're missing
I'm unusual, not so typical
Sometimes I wish when the phone rings

9. You have m heart
When the sun shines, we'll shine together
Said I'll always be a friend
Now that it's raining more than ever

10. I'm making my way over to my favorite place
I just came here to party
I just can't refuse it
But now we're rockin on the dance floor

OK, that's all. Look under the archives in April for a post called Sing a Song for directions on how to play that game. Answers in the next post!!!

Strange Feelings and A New Bet

Have you ever really wanted to do something, and you don't know what, just something? Like something important? Yeah, it's a weird feeling. It's hard to explain.
Anyway, we're doing another bet. I can't tell anyone something about Louisse, and it last till the last day of school. Whoever loses has to yodel (yes, yodel) while we're walking to the bus where people can hear. And IM GONNA WIN!!!!!!!!!! I have lost EVERY bet this year and now I'm gonna win. Anyway, I g2g now sorry for the short post.

The Rest of Us

I don't know why I chose that title, I just liked it. Normally I don't like when people's titles have nothin to do with the post, because the you're all excited to see this awesome post, and it ends up being dumb (no offense). So sorry about that. I have decided to exerpt, which I have not done in FOREVER!!!

Though the school was diverse, full of many different and interesting people, all the students seemed to revolve around just three girls. These girls were flawless in every way. Their skin was free of blemishes, all tanned beautifully. Their hair was shiny and bobbed up and down with each step. Their eyelashes were dark and thick, their lips were full and pink, and their clothes were of high quality and very expensive.
But the girls' eyes didn't sparkle with every mischievous smile. They didn't huddle, hiding urgent whispers, then laughing unnaturally loud so as to impress and mystify others. They didn't have snappy comebacks or funny jokes. They didn't even gossip.
These girls' personalities were so blank, it was as if corpses were walking around. There were never any laughs or smiles radiating from them. In fact, they barely talked. With their strange personalities and perfect looks, these girls were almost inhuman.
There were another three girls roaming the halls of the school, and they too were almost alien. But they were just the opposite. Dry bumps and blemishes covered their ghostly pale skin. Their hair was a colorless tangle of grease and knots. They had thin lips and eyelashes, and their clothes were the same as their hair: messy and free of color.
The girls' personalities, however, were the most beautiful part of them. Their laughs always echoed throughout the school, and their smiles lit the halls. Happiness emanated from their sparkling eyes, and they were all friendly and easy to talk to.
Everyone else in the school was invisible, floating through the walls as if they weren't even there. What went on between each group of girls was a mystery to even the teachers.

Once again that was a really bad ending but I gotta go now so BYE.

RAISA!!! :)

I Lied

OK I lied. I said I was going outside but I'm not I'm not. I'm so bored and only two people posted on their blogs!!!!!!!!!!!!! Usually it takes me forever to read all the posts. Thanks, Megan and Abby!!! Anyway there's really nothing to post about... I just have nothing else to do. OK, fine, I'll get off my butt and go outside and get some fresh air.............

Raisa aka Rosie aka Elsa aka Raybone aka ... RICECAKE!!! (NOT COOL!)

Sing a Song

OK, here's a game thing:
Each problem has four lines from a song. Read each line and try to guess the song. You write them down or comment the answers or just keep them in your head or whatever. The answers will be posted tomorrow or the next time I get on here or whatever!!! So far no one has gotten them all right, so study hard! Actually, don't. If you look up the answers, that's cheating. But you can listen to your iPod or the radio or whatever to help you.

1. I've got a way of knowin
I felt this deep connection
I just kept lookin down
I will redeem myself

2. All that time he was takin her for granted
She don't care
If you've got nothin left
He was always givin her attention

3. Cut off from love
But I don't care what they say
But they don't know the truth
Thinkin I'm goin crazy

4. I'm a thousand miles away
Don't you worry about the distance
Listen to my voice its my disguise
I've got so much left to say

5. And I want these words to make things right
Been lookin forward to the future
In this crystal ball
He tastes like you only sweeter

6. Oh I had a lot to say
Cause everything inside it never comes out right
And I know I can't take it back
And blame turns to shame

7. I just want you close
Everything's gonna be alright
People keep talking
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling

8. Boy you looked right through me
That Cupid hit me
Can't breathe when you touch my sleeve
The girl can't help it

9. Got me ten feet off the ground
Then you go and cut me down
Take a shot for you
But I'm afraid.. It's too late

10. Another day, another drama
And with a kid on my arm
No, for real, are you kiddin me?
I'm Mrs. Lifestyle of the Rich and Famous

OK, that's all. Tell me if you like this or if its stupid, because I can do more. So yeah anyway, bye!!!

And it was sooooooo funny!!! Anyway, bye now!!!

RAISA!!!

Scooby Dooby Doo

The last day of Spring Break, and it is SNOWING! (see my last post for a freakish spaz attack) I know it will melt soon, like in a week, but still!!! I was going to play outside and stuff today!!! Well, actually its already melting like on the driveway and the street and stuff, but just yesterday you could see the beautiful green (yellow) grass!!! Oh well. I shall have to push on, however hard and torturous it may be. I WILL SURVIVE!!! Hey, isn't that the name of a song? Why, yes it is!!! Lately a lot of stuff has been reminding me of songs. How strange. Even though I like school, I shall be sad to leave this glorious freedom. Well, it must be done sometime. And after this year we will be halfway done with mandatory tortu- oops, I mean school. Oh well. At least I'm not alone in this cruel, cruel activity called learning. I'm talking kind of weird. Like, I'm using 'shall' and stuff.
Scooby Doo must be a VERY popular show. I mean, its been around since like the 70's and it's STILL on. Same with weird shows like Hogan's Heroes and I Love Lucy and stuff. But those are classics. I guess some shows never die. I like Ricky in I Love Lucy. His accent is cool. I like Australian accents, too. They're funny. G'day, mate!!! I also like the Scooby Doo theme song. OK, enough babbling about old stuff that nobody watches anymore (except my brother, who is watching Scooby Doo right now).
I am very bored. I want to go outside. I want the snow to stop. I want it to be summer. I want, I want, I want. How selfish. Well, I'm sure you all want the same things. Am I right?
OK, I'm gonna leave now. Maybe I'll post later. BTW, this is post #48. On post fifty be prepared for a very freakish spaz attack. And no, I am not copying iCarly. I got the idea BEFORE I saw that episode. Anyway, I'm not calling mine a Fiftieth Blog Spectacular, I'm calling it... IDK. I'm calling it something else. I'll figure it out when the time comes. Bye now!!!

Wimps

My sister and brother and mom and dad are watching the Wizard of Oz right now, and I can hear some of it, and I've been thinking... Dorothy is such a wimp! Seriously, she cries all the time, and the only way she can kill a witch is by pouring water on her!!! And the witch isn't even magical or anything! She could just punch her and be done with it! Plus flying monkeys are cool, not scary!!! And all Dorothy can think about is her precious little slippers, when she should be fearing for her life. (Well, according to the movie. But like I said, the witch shows no sign whatsoever of any magical powers) So yeah, I was just thinking about that... I'm so bored!!! But I have to go off here anyway; I've been on here for like two hours. How pathetic. While the rest of you are traveling the world becoming tan and spending all your money and being happy or at least sleeping over at your friend's house, I'm sitting at the computer the whole night like a loser without a life. Whatever. BTW, I posted more before this and you probably didn't read it so scroll down and read it and please comment on this one and those other ones.

Bye yall

PS yall yall yall yall yall yall yall yall!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Take that Louisse!!!!!!!!!!!!! (she hates it when I say yall) YAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YAY!!!

Yes!!! My dad said I could go on here again!!! I'm so happy! I'm in a good mood now!!! Even the snow doesn't seem like that big of a deal. It'll melt. Today at Louisse's we were dancing, which is surprising, because I don't dance usually. It was fun though. People are so lucky!!! When we were at Louisse's we walked over to Megan S's and right after we left she went to California!!! And Abby is in Italy, and Hayley is going to Florida and Annelise is going to California and I'm stuck rotting in the mud and snow!!! So sad. Oh well. Easter is soon!!! I'm excited. Except there should be daffodils and bunnies, and instead there is like two feet of snow. It'd better melt by Sunday. I mean, it was pretty much gone yesterday, and now it's like we went back to December!!! Grrrrrrrr... Third quarter ended yesterday. So sad... no more PAC, no more gym. In the beginning of the year I would have been happy about that, but I don't want to go to health now, I want to stay in gym. It is fun, especially when we play soccer. I love soccer!!! And softball, but soccer is better. Anyway, that's pretty much all I have to write about... we're coloring Easter eggs tomorrow... It's a tradition. And every year I do this really cool thing: You take a needle and poke a smallish hole in an egg... be careful not to break it! It has to be on the top of the egg. Then do the same thing on the bottom of the egg. Get a bowl and hold the egg over the bowl. Then blow through the top hole and the yolk will come out the bottom, and so at the end you are left with the shell. Then you can dye the egg, but it floats so you have to hold it under the dye. Be careful again not to break it again!!! Then it lasts forever!!! Only last year my traditional egg broke and my mom only lets me do it to one egg so I don't waste them. (which I did) OK, right now I am listening to a song by Queen called Bohemian Rhapsody (don't ask me why I am listening to it; I'm a weirdo) and it is strange. BTW, thank you so much for all the votes on Louisse's poll. I got 10!!! I feel so good now!!! JK, I know I'm weird and I don't care if you vote for me. Anyway bye now!!!



Love forever,
Raisa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Snow...

IT'S FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hate snow so much!!! Two days before Easter and we have like two feet of snow!!! That sucks!!! I am at Louisse's house right now. Louisse and Jodi are dancing and it is really weird!!! I'm still not allowed on my blog but I don't care. I can't stand not being on it!!! It's so fun!!! There's like nothing to post about... again!!! It's spring break right now!!! My cousins might sleep over when they come for Easter. I really like when they sleep over, even though one of them is like sixteen and she probably doesn't want to come over anyway. The other one is fourteen and the other one is as old as me. Well, five days older. OK, now I'm rambling on about my extended family again. OK, now we're going to Megan's so bye!!!

Spring Break

Hey yall I'm at school right now!!! so if I get cut off in the middle of a sentence then that's why. SPRING BREAK IS FINALLY HERE!!! Well, after today anyway. I'm so happy! But even though I love school so much (well, not the learning part, just the friends and the craziness and all), I am so happy that it is over for a while. Obviously. I mean, who isn't. My dad won't let me go on here anymore. It's dumb, though, because its not like I'm doing anything bad on here anyway!!! He should trust me enough to have a blog. But whatevs. Yeah i haven't been on here in a long time, and I kinda miss it!!! Blogging is so fun!!! There's really nothing else to post about... Today we had a movie day and we watched Radio. It was cool because it was a surprise, so we stayed in our first hour classes until lunch, and now I am in study hall, which is after lunch. I'm bored. I want to go back to the classroom now and play cards. Yeah that's pathetic but cards are fun. Bye now!!!

So Sad

I don't have a lot of time and I'm not supposed to be on here so this will be short. But we lost today in the semifinals, against Minneapolis South Central (I think). It was 48-64. Oh well. I'm glad we made it that far. Mr. Downs, a Cougar teacher, is the head coach, so we saw him on TV and that was cool. (We watched the game in seventh hour) We did another bet today. I only agreed to it because Jackie gave me a full pack of Altoids. I couldn't laugh, and every time I did, they asked out two guys for me. Later they changed it to one, but they ended up asking out NINE guys!!!!!!! How cruel!!! (JK. I didn't really care that much.)

Anyway G2G now so bye!!!
kkkaaayyylllaaa the gggrrreeeaaattt

Good and Bad Things

Well, there was no bet today... but evil Will is still going to ask out Ryan for me, even though I threw away Louisse's lunch tray so she said I didn't have to ask him out!!! So the bad things first: I HAVE SO MUCH HOMEWORK!!! I have my stupid dumb torturous person pouch, a Reading worksheet, my rough draft for my research paper, and the response sheet from yesterday that I forgot to do in History. I guess that's all the bad stuff... not much, but I am totally dreading all the homework. Now the good things (not all of them are happening today): WE BEAT OSSEO IN STATE QUARTERFINALS!!! Oh yeah!!! For girl's basketball, we beat Osseo in the state quarterfinals. Which is cool, because my cousin goes to Osseo! And so on the bus I called her and she was freaking out and stuff. Also, me and my cousins have the same Spring Break for once, which usually doesn't happen, so I can have them over. And on Saturday I am going to my grandma's for a surprise birthday party for my uncle and all my aunts and uncles and such are going to be there, and I have a ton of aunts and uncles and such, so it will be awesome. Of course, one of my uncles isn't going to be there because he lives in Oregon, but whatever that's like a given. Anyway there's still seven other aunts and uncles plus there husbands and wives and then my cousins of which I have five. Well actually seven, but the other two's parents are divorced and they live with their mom who isn't related to us by blood and plus they're both out of college and they barely come to see us (us, as in my mom's side of the family. And yes, this is all my mom's side. My dad's side has about as much, but we barely see them because they live in Africa). So yeah that's cool and plus I get to see my cousins a week later after that because they're coming to our house for Easter with everybody else (Easter is our holiday. My grandma has Christmas, my aunt has Christmas Eve, my other aunt has Thanksgiving, and any other unplanned get-togethers go to the other five (minus the Oregon uncle) siblings who have whatever they feel like having) Now that you know my whole family tree and our holidays, I think you are bored (and confused) enough. Anyway, that's all the good and bad things, and I don' tknow what else to write, so bye. But please comment everybody!!! (that means you, Louisse and Hayley. Thank you Jennifer for actually commenting, and Annelise too.) Oh yeah, and even if you don't have a blogger account, you can comment by doing anonymous (please tell me who you are if you do, or at least give me clues), or write in your name and not a username or password or anything. Bye now!!!

Grrrr...

So now Will is asking Ryan out for me, but he isn't going to tell him that I don't like him, so now Ryan is going to think that I like him. And today Jackie, Hayley and Annelise blackmailed me into doing another bet where I couldn't talk until the end of the day or else they would ask out two guys for every word that I said. And they call themselves my friends!!! (grrrrr...) I feel like doing a list:

Designs
polka dots
stripes
plaid
flowers

I can't think of anything else. I don't know what to write. I need to work on my person pouch and it is annoying me sooooo much!!! I still need to write all of it and get two more props and it's due in three days!!! Lol!!! Shane told Colin that Louisse likes him even though she doesn't!!! Lol!!! Now I cna't think of anything to write again. Usually I can't think of anything to write and then I'll think of something and then I'll start writing a ton and my post will be freakishly long!!! But I am like the only one who writes long posts; the rest of yours are all really short!

It's weird that now I look back at all the stuff that we did in elementary school and it's like wow, i can't believe we didn't have locks on the lockers and wow, we stayed in the same room practically the whole day! It's so weird to think about now, when last year middle school would have been weird to think about. For six years I had been doing the same thing, and now I've been in middle school for less than a year and it seems like I've been doing it forever!!!

Bye Bye now!!!

Monday...

The first of many long, torturous days. Spring break better come soon!!! BTW, if you are Will and you are reading this then congratulations you found my blog. Guess what everybody?! I lost another bet!!!!! So me and Louisse were both at five strikes, and in PAC we were talking about ZJ for some reason, and I'm like "He's so weird; he plays like seven instruments." And Louisse started screaming and freaking out and I was like crying cause it was so sad. Well not exactly crying but whatever you know what I mean. Isn't that sooooo sad? Only all my so-called FRIENDS were laughing and rejoicing and saying that this was going to be funny to watch. Thanks a lot, you guys. And you weren't exactly helping me to win. I DON'T WANT TO ASK RYAN OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nooooooooooooooooo............................... I am so sad. I also lost my house key so if any of you find it... please give it to me. And please don't break into my house. (lol) BTW, Hayley said my house was weird and now that I can insult her again, you're house is weird too!!! Oh, yeah, and Will, your gray gym shirt is stupid and I don't really like white shoes!!! (lol you deserved that!!!) And insults to the rest of you that tried to make me lose!!!
So, happier things... Eight days until Spring Break (in all of it's glory, I think it deserves to be capitalized)!!! Well, ten if you include weekends, but only eight school days. And everybody go to Louisse's blog: www.cornellrocks.blogspot.com Please vote on my poll... and there's a list of blogs to go to under it (or over it, I forget)
I will do a quiz like Louisse did.

What is your favorite minor holiday?
St. Patrick's Day-5
Valentine's Day-4
Fourth of July-4

Do you like warm colors or cool colors?
Warm-5
Cool-5

Scoring:
25-35 You are weird and obnoxious but people still like you. You have a sense of humor and are very social.
15-24 You are pretty cool but also very weird. You might not be that social, but you have kind of a lot of friends. You are average.
5-14 Sorry but you are kind of a loser. Of course this is just a test and you might not actually be like that at all but your test score says you are. Then sorry. But anyway you don't have very many friends, and you get your clothes from sucky places (no offense. Anyway sometimes Target has good clothes) You might also be goth and that is weird. Unless you are Louisse who only acts goth sometimes and is not officially goth like Julia K's friend is.
1-4 Is it even possible for you to get that low of a score?

So hope you like my test yall... sorry if you are a loser but it is just a test and none of my friends are really that loserish... except maybe Jennifer... JK!!! Please don't kill me!!! Nothing really happened that was interesting at school today... except me losing the bet, which I already told you about. Oh yeah and Will you better not tell Ryan that I'm going to ask him out. But if you do be sure to tell him that I lost a bet so that he doesn't think that I like him like last year.

So bye everybody... I'll post tomorrow!!!
Kayla the Great!!!

ps I have a lot of posts under this that you probably didn't read, so scroll down and read them and please comment!!!

pps Hayley please tell me the address of your new blog!!!

What Up (again)

Hey yall. Normally I don't post twice a day but I am just sooooooooooooooo bored!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe I'm saying this but I wish it was a school day so at least I'd have something to post about. I'M SOOOOOOOOOOOO BORED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Boredom

Like a worm

eating me away

from the inside

knawing at me

I'm going crazy

it's like staring at a

white wall

listening to an

endless lecture

like a blank book

flipping through the pages

all of them white

I bang my head on the table

my eyes start to blur

my head spins

I'M GOING TO EXPLODE!!!!!!!



Now I'm inspired. I'll do an exerpt now.

The town was dead. The once grand City Hall was now dead and dusty and uninhabited. Only a few sagging houses littered the empty streets. The only place with even a hint of life was the Saloon, and even now there was barely anyone there. The bartender, Mr. Frank, polished every glass as if his life depended on it. When even he had to admit that they couldn't be any shinier, he swept the floor, cleaned the bathrooms, wiped the tables. Finally five o' clock rolled around, rush hour in the small town. Of course, rush hour was an understatement. Rush hour was the name for when thirteen children ran home, and the workers at Broker's Tire Factory trudged away after twelve hours of work. It was when the few men who worked on Main Street (at the General Store, at the Lissie's Clothing and Fabric, and at the Rick the Butcher's) went to the Saloon. It mostly stayed quiet, unless, of course, Johnny showed up. Johnny never seemed to have money, but Mr. Frank gave him his whiskey on credit. Of course, he never paid him back, and nobody else understood why the bartender kept on loaning him money. Especially when every time Johnny decided to mosey on over there, he usually stirred up a big enough fight to get himself or someone else locked up for a couple of nights. So when Johnny pushed open the doors to the Saloon that night, Mr. Frank decided that enough was enough. He wanted to find out where Johnny lived, and why he was always so down on money.



OK, that was a sucky ending, but I have to go now so bye bye!!!



Yours in Boredland,

KAYLA!!!

What Up

Hey everybody I am so bored right now. Jennifer couldn't come over cuz of Girl Scouts and them neither could Meg for the same reason and Louisse couldn't for I don't know why, and so I had Hayley over. Nothing to post... don't feel like exerpting right now... finished my homework... nothing to read... nothing to watch... the Internet is boring... OK, it's probably really boring for you all to read my constant complaining but whatever. Sorry this is so short but I g2g so bye now!!!
BTW if you go to Buca di Peppo and order lemon chicken it is SOOOOOO good!!! And then get sourdough bread and dip it in the butter!!! I seriously am in love with that stuff!!! OK I'm seriously leaving now. Bye.

Luv Ya,
***KaYla***

Ha Ha Will!!!!

IT'S FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (sorry that's a tradition) Good job. You found my blog. But here I am Kayla so don't say my real name... never mind, you can't say anything on here unless you get your own blog. Under this post is the one about you and Louisse being evil.
So hey yall guess what? There's another bet. Me and Louisse have to be nice to everyone or else we have to ask out Ryan W. (you better not tell him Will) We have five strikes and even though it's the first day I already have four. But this time I will NOT lose. Here are some blogs to go to:
www.bennysunshine.blogspot.com
www.katiethegreat428.blogspot.com
www.carrotop2710.blogspot.com
www.sweetooth2710.blogspot.com (that's Jennifer's blog)
www.cherryjuice.blogster.com (that's Louisse's blog but it doesn't work right now)
I can't tell yall Hayley's blog because it has confidential information on it.
You guys should see the movie Penelope!!! It is sooooooooooo good.
I am feeling really random right now. I just keep switching topics. I'm bored and I have nothing to write.
PAC is soooooo fun!!! Right now we are learning magic. But I like PAC because everybody talks to each other. Like usually all the boys talk to the boys and all the girls talk to the girls and nobody does any mingling (isn't that a weird word?). But in PAC nobody's like ackward or uncomfortable no matter who they're talking to. It's cool, but it sucks that we only have it for a quarter.
Anyway I have to go now.

Hola!!! (that's bye in Spanish) (hahahahaha JK I know it's hi in Spanish)

Yours Truly,
Kayla the Great!!!

ps will hayley please comment!!! because lately only jennifer has been commenting and its annoying. i like to read the comments.

Evil People (specifically WILL and LOUISSE)

So sad... I lost the stupid bet! I was hating Colin and all because I was trying so hard not to like him, and then all of a sudden in Reading I looked at him and started to like him. And so I lost the bet. Unfortunately, I stopped liking him a quarter of the way into the next hour, so it was not even worth it. Will is very cruel. In gym Louisse told him to ask Colin out for me, even though I didn't like him (Colin) anymore. So he actually did!!! And Will and Colin were kicking (in kickball) and me and Louisse were in the field, so I saw Will talking to Colin and then they both looked at me and I'm like Oh, crap. So me and Louisse were laughing and then when there were three outs and we switched, we went up to Will and we're like Did you do it? and he's like Yeah, and so I pushed him. Then when we were walking to sixth hour, it was me and Louisse and Annelise and then right behind us was Shane, Hunter, Will and Colin. And Will's like, Look! There's Kayla! to Colin and to me when I turned around he's like Look! There's Colin, even though he knew I didn't like him anymore. So Colin was looking all pitiful and walking with his head down and I felt kinda bad, but it was really really ackward. So then Will was pushing Colin forward saying Walk faster, but wouldn't. Then he's like I think I'm gonna walk faster now, and so he runs ahead of us, but Louisse is like Awww, he likes you, and I'm like No he doesn't, and then Colin turned around and he's like No I don't, seriously, I don't. Then he walked slower again. Then Hunter was being all weird and he's like Kayla, will you give me a makeover? (but of course he was kidding) and he did the same to Annelise and I'm like Hunter you are a strange person. So then me, Louisse, Annelise, Hunter, Shane, Colin, and Will were all walking together and it was actually kinda fun, but of course me and Colin didn't talk to each other because that would have been WAAAAYYYYY too ackward. But then during seventh hour me and Louisse made Will tell Colin that I don't like him, so in the end it was good, unless of course Colin doesn't believe him, but I seriously don't like him. Anyway, bye!!!

Au revoir!!! (That's Bye in French)

ps like my list? feel free to give me more suggestions on awesome places

Fun Things (actually not really)

So what up ya'll? I am feeling a little down. Hahahahahahahaha. Today was a mixture of really bad and really good. So I have a cold, and I woke up in the middle of the night and COULD NOT fall back asleep. It took me like an hour and a half. Then I forgot my stupid analogies packet, even though I saw it and specifically reminded myself to get it. (it's dumb anyway, who needs it?) So then I was going to ask Mrs. Broz to give me a new one in Hawktime (homeroom), but she's like "Sorry, that's ELEVEN extra sheets that I have to give you. If I gave you one then I'd have to give everyone else one, and that would be a thousand extra sheets." And I'm just like OK, but it's not like everyone else is asking!!! And I don't usually forget stuff in Reading. Why can't she just be a good, kind, caring teacher? So then she actually did end up giving me one in Reading, because we were using most of the class time to work on it and I had nothing to do, but since it is my second copy I am apparently getting points off. Then Meaghan was getting all mad at me because she doesn't like 'a certain friend of mine' and the 'certain friend' gave me a note that was personal and Meaghan was being all mad because I wasn't letting her see it. And she said I was making a big deal out of not letting her see it but I really wasn't it was her because she kept bringing it up. Anyway, Meaghan you are probably reading this right now but don't worry I'm not mad at you anymore. And then at lunch I couldn't eat because I didn't have enough money in my account and I forgot to bring lunch money.
Now for the good things. I lost my house key on Thursday and the office, which is usually not helpful at all in finding things, had it today and I was so happy. Then I got 100% on my math assignment, which doesn't happen often. And in gym I wasn't incredibly terrible at badmitten like I usually am, and I didn't get all tired during the warm up because I pretended to tie my shoe for three of the runs. Actually, I realize now that there are a lot more bad things than good ones, but whatever, the first two good things count for about 2, so it's not off by that much.
I think I will do an exerpt now.

The morning was crisp, and all signs of drowsiness immediately disappeared when I stepped outside. I wished I had brought my jacket, as goosebumps had already erupted on my arms. I hurried down the street, taking care to duck into as many shadows as possible. A bright flash of orange suddenly spilled from behind a hill, and I raised an arm to my face as I bathed in the warmth. Suddenly I heard sirens, and my moment of tranquility was over. I raced to the end of the street. Whipping my head back and forth, I ran across the highway to the woods. Just as I leapt under a bush, a pack of police cars screamed around the corner. I closed my eyes, my heart pounding loudly. Suddenly, the sirens ceased and I heard the cars stop right on the other side of the highway. As quietly as possible, I crawled out from under the bush and into the woods. Running as best as I could while crouched down on the damp ground, I made my way over to a knarled tree. It was blackened and hard, and there was barely any bark on it. I reached inside a small hole and pulled out my backpack. It contained a sweatshirt, flashlight, food, my life savings ($100), and a knife. I yanked the sweatshirt over my head and continued my rushed journey. Behind me I heard running footsteps crossing the road, and I broke into a sprint. I ran down a hill and tripped, bloodying my knee. I reached into the pocket of my cutoffs and pulled out a dollar in change. I wrestled my hair into a ponytail. The bus station was about a block away, and according to my battered old watch, I had exactly a minute to get there. I whipped off my shoes and grabbed them. For some reason, I have always been able to run better in bare feet. The wind picked up, but luckily I was running with it. I skidded into the bus station just as the doors to the giant black machine opened, and with a quick look behind me, I dashed inside.
When I was two my dad left my mom and I to fend for ourselves, with only $600 and a few clothes. My mom managed to get a job and rent an apartment, but for the next eight years I was living without any leisures whatsoever. I went to a shack called a school, where the rooves were actually tin, and the desks were wooden crates and we sat on the floor. When I was ten, my mom got drunk and I never saw her again. I packed up my stuff and went to live in the old abandoned house across town. I grew vegetables in the backyard and even tried (unsuccessfully) to teach myself something every now and again. Unfortunately, I soon found that I was a missing child and the police were looking for me, probably to dump me in some foster home. But who needed them? I could live by myself just fine; I had been for the past two years. I took a backpack full of important stuff and hit the road. Sadly, I was spotted my some jerk who couldn't seem to mind his own business, and then the cops kne I was there in Breezy Point. So there I was, a twelve year old girl on the run from the cops, on her way across the country, living on one hundred dollars and six boxes of granola bars.

Wow, that was long. I gotta go now and work on my stupid analogies homework like I was supposed to be doing this whole time.

Yours Truly and Forever More,
Kayla!!! :)

Big Foot

big foot is the name of a hill at the skiing place where we went. it is SO AWESOME!!!!!! BTW mrs. peterfeso if you still haven't read it scroll down two posts for my HW. and yeah read the comments please. skiing was so fun! i fell like seven times but whatevs. and one time i couldn't even get up at all and some dude had to help me. dylan g. broke his wrist doing some thing. serves him right he is mean to me, and friday in gym he threw the ball and it hit maddie right in the face!!! anyway i think i will do an exerpt now, sorry if it is short like before. guess i kinda lost it.

The wind stung my red face; my cheeks were numb from rubbing against the snow. I felt like I was flying. I raced past other people, zipping by and weaving in and out. Soon there was a bump in front of me. I was good, but not that good. It was too late though. I couldn't stop. Those who were around me heard my piercing scream. I felt myself fly up into the air, and land back down again with a thud, but after that everything was black.

Just to tell you that did NOT happen to me, because i could barely turn, and i am NOT good at all. anyway bye.

hey everybody.

IT'S FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BTW, mrs. peterfeso, scroll down to the post after this for my HW. ps read the comments too. guess what yall? there are FOUR people reading this blog!!!! i am proud. have you ever seen the jungle book? where the little vultures sing the friends song? i will write down the lyrics:
we are friends (we are friends)
we are friends to the bitter eeeeeeeeeeennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnndddddddddddddd (the bitter end)
and when you're lost
in dire need
who's at your side
at lightning speed
something something something
something something something
in fact we've never met a fellow that we didn't llllllllliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiikkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkeeeeeee
(diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiddddddnnnnnnnnnnnnn'ttttttttttttttttttttttttt liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiikkkkkkkeeeeeeeeee)
so we are friends indeed (we're friends indeed)
something something
something something (we're friends indeed)
we are friends (we are friends)
we are friends to the bitter eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeennnnnnnnnnnnnnnndddddddddd (the bitter end) (that is sung really low by sheer kahn the tiger because he comes to chase mowgli)

and then there is also the bare necessities:
look for the
bare necessities
the simple bare necessites
forget about your worries and your strife
i mean the bare necessities or mother nature's recipes
that bring the bare necessities of life
wherever i wander
wherever i roam
i couldn't be fonder
of my big home
the bees are buzzin in the tree
to make some honey
just for me
if you look under the rocks and plants and
take a glance at the fancy ants,
then maybe try a few
the bare necessities of life will come to you
(they'll come to me!)
they'll come to you

ok, do a lot of jungle book songs, but i don't feel like it so i'll do an exerpt instead:

The sun hit the gem just right, so that each corner was lit with a sparkling glow. The whole room was illuminated in a green light, so bright that I had to blink my eyes to see. But when my eyes were working properly, they fell upon the most intricate and beautiful thing I had ever seen.

well, that was not very long, but oh well. i want to do the words to Part of Your World from the little mermaid. some will probably be wrong:

I wanna be where the people are
i wanna see wanna see 'em dancin
walkin on those, whadya call em oh, feet
flippin your fins you don't get too far
legs are required for jumpin, dancin
strollin along down the
what's that word again street
up where they walk
up where they run
up where they stay all day in the sun
wandering free
wish i could be
part of that world
what would i give
if i could live
outta these waters?
what would i pay
to spend
warm on the sand?
betcha on land they understand
bet they don't reprimand their daughters
bright young women
sick of swimmin
ready to stand
andready to know what the people know
ask em my questions and
get some answers
what's a fire
and why does
what's the word
burn?
when's it my turn?
wouldn't i love
love to explore that shore
up above,
out of the sea.
wish i could be
part of that world.

you should take sour cream and yogurt and mix it and it makes really good dip to dip fruit in. it might sound gross but it's not. anyway i am dry now. i have nothing to write. never mind! stupid shows:
spongebob squarepants
family guy
south park
the simpsons
phineas and ferb
pucca
home improvement
pokeman
ben 10
there are too many other ones to name, but those are high on the list. bye now!!!

Death Penalties are Wrong

You have probably heard of a death penalty, right? It's where a criminal gets executed by the government instead of going to jail, like they SHOULD. your probably thinking, Oh, sad!!! And you are 100% right. It IS sad, and it's wrong!!!

I think that the death penalties should be stopped! The Constitution is against them, so why do we even HAVE them in our country? Aren't we supposed to FOLLOW the Constitution? And here's a list of ways that they execute criminals:

• Firing Squad (in case you're wondering what that is, I will tell you -with only a little detail! The criminal is tied to a chair. Then a doctor uses a stethoscope to find his heart. The doctor then pins a piece of paper to the criminal's chest in the place where his heart is. After that a man shoots the criminal from a hole in the wall. Horrible, right?)
• Gas chambers (DOESN'T THAT REMIND YOU OF THE HOLOCAUST?)
• Lethal Injection

Google "descriptions of methods of executions" and click on the first one- but be careful, because it is VERY disturbing!

Anyway, sometimes innocent people can even die because there were accused of a crime that THEY DIDN'T COMMIT!!!!!!! Imagine dying for no reason- and because of the GOVERNMENT, who is supposed to PROTECT you from these kinds of injustices!

So, tell everyone you know about the death penalty and how ATROCIOUS it is, and maybe soon it will be gone!

BTW, in case you all were wondering why i am doing this, it's because it is Language Arts homework. Mrs. Peterfeso will be reading it.

uuuuugggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh................

omg this is torture! my head is killing me, my throat is all hot and dry, and no one will answer the phone. why am i never sick on school days!!!! and god, this is a LONG WEEKEND!!!!! i should be partying! (actually literally. i should be at hayley's bday party but noooooo, my body chose to be evil TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i'm sick!!!

so sad. i am ill. i couldn't go to hayley's bday and it sucked. and yesterday i didn't post. what a tragedy. i don't have anything to write. bye now.

Question of the Day and such

QOTD: Should I stay or should I go? (and why?)
Bonus Question: Who will YOU vote for? (go with Obama!!!)

I am bored. I don't know what to write. I am tired. I don't want to go to school tomorrow. I want it to be summer. The End.

again, i can't think of a title. what is up with my brain and titles?

hey!!!!!!!!! IT IS MONDAY. you probably knew that, but know waht? i HATE mondays. and mornings. i missed the bus today. and i have so much homework and a ton of other lousy stuff which won't come to my mind at the moment. well, whatever. i have written about today and now i can't think of anything else to write about so whatever. actually, i will do a quick descrption of a summer scene because i want winter to be over SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!

actually a poem.

Summer
The sun is blinding me
with its golden white rays
The pavement sears the bottoms of my bare feet
I run across the street,
my feet slapping painfully against the gravel.
Into the backyard
I jump into the hammock
The cool shade of the tree is calling me
I reluctantly drag myself
from the comfortable depths of the hammock
Like a monkey, I shimmy* up the tree
And rest my head against the smooth, cool bark.
I realize my throat is dry.
I jump down
and run inside.
A cold glass of lemonade is waiting.
I retreat again to the hammock
to sip the sweet drink.
My friends calls
We run enthusiastically to the pool.
Other kids are
running
jumping
screaming
laughing
swimming
We join in
eager to cool off.
At night,
the neighbors
and my friends
come over.
We grill burgers
hot dogs
and steak.
A bonfire burns brightly
As the night cools down,
we huddle around for warmth.
Marshmallows!
We rip open the package
and roast each one
to a perfect golden brown.
Oops.
We drop the sticky white mess
It sizzles in the hot embers.
After tiring games of
Ghost in the Graveyard
and Hide and Seek
and Tag
and Capture the Flag
all in the concealing dark of night,
everyone leaves.
A few friends stay
and we go inside.
A movie is on
It's scary and we huddle close together.
One by one,
we drift to sleep.
In the morning,
will be
summer.

OMG, I want it to be summer sooooooooooo bad now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I should NOT have writtne that poem because now i think i am going to cry. so sad.

*shimmy is a funny word. it's a little weird, but i couldn't think of any other word that would fit. it's kind of like snippet. only snippet is better that shimmy.

please comment!!!
Your crying friend who will one day be famous,
Kayla!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

PS Question of the Day is What's the real reason?

PPS I think from now on Question of the Day will be at the bottom of the page and will be marked QOTD~ and then whatever the question is.

Question of the Day

Why is it purple?

Note: this question is very random and you can interpret any way you want. There is obviously no right or wrong answer. And BTW, i DON'T know what "it" is, so don't ask me.

FINALLY!!!

IT'S FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
have you ever experienced that weird feeling at the end of a long period of time? like it went by sssssssoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo fast... like you can't believe a year is already over? and then while the year is acutlly going by, it seems like forever! and then since it was going by fast and slow at the same time, you are forced to conclude that it was going by just regular, and the whole comment was pointless in the first place!!!!!! well, i am feeling like that right now! like the week has been like that! but now i am so glad that it is a weekend! only tonight my dad's aunt is coming over and so we are going shopping at an authentic grocery store like where my dad is from and then after that we are going out to eat but that is stupid because we have to pick up my dad from work and my aunt and we are leaving soon and it is sssssssssooooooooo dumb because i really don't want to go and it is wasting my beautiful friday!!! anyway, here's a SHORT exerpt:

I crept quietly through the dark house. The dusty floor was rotting in some places, so i had to squint to watch where i was going. suddenly i heard the low groan of a door opening. the night had been still, so it couldn't have been the wind. I leaped silently to an old bureau and crouched behind it. My breathing seemed to fill the silence with noisy racket, but if i held my breath i would have to let it out, and that would be even louder.
suddenly a dark figure entered the room. the tall shadow looked around cautiosly, making sure that no one was around. suddenly a switch clicked, and the single ray of a warm glow illuminated a few dust particles in the air. i huddled into a ball, hiding my face. with a crash, the figure kicked the bureau aside. being so old, it crumbled, and my hiding place was revealed. i screamed and junped up. with a push, i ran past the stranger, but it grabbed onto my arm. i twisted around, but the already tight grip stiffened, and i yelped in pain. the flashlight fell to the floor and rolled away. a raspy whisper blew a hoarse, stale message into my ear: "come with me or die". i felt the cold metal of a gun, and when the stranger dragged me away, i knew i couldn't resist.

ok, maybe not so short, but whatever i g2g now.

i can't think of a title

it's wednesday...................................................... (in a dreary, monotonous voice) two days until saturday! and then two days until monday... then five till saturday again. yes, good job kayla, you know the days of the week!!!! i am actually freakishly hyper... maybe it wore off because i am being really dreary and sarcastic now... at least on here. anyway i am not quite sure what to write about... hey! i used to know exactly what to write until carrotop said she didn't know what to write! it's all your fault! JK. i guess i will just do a random exerpt.

The diner was one of those old fifties type ones that i love, though i wondered why there was nobody there. The walls were turquoise and there was the front half of a cadillac convertible sticking out of one of them. At the bar there were peach colored stools accented with metal stripes on the sides. The familiar scent of grilling burgers wafted its way to my nose. Tall glasses of malts and shakes sat abandoned on the counter. Suddenly the ground shook with a deafening rumble. A cascade of screams echoed outside and i ran to the window to see what was going on. The malts crashed to the floor and shattered. A few shards of glass hit my ankle and i yelled in pain. My ankles were scattered with bloody cuts, and the floor was a mess of glass and multicolored mush. Then the ceiling started to vibrate. Afraid it was going to fall, i ran under a table and crouched there, waiting. I said a quick prayer and squeezed my eyes shut, awaiting the smash. My heart pounded loudly in my chest and my sweaty hands shook. dust from outside floated in, and soon i was a mess of blood, dust and sweat. suddenly the ceiling crashed.

yay!!!!! and also no!!!!!

IT'S FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sorry i missed it last week. i got shots (well, a shot) today and it was pretty cool. not. it didn't actually hurt that much though. i am happy that it is friday. duh. although getting shots on a friday afternoon is sooooo great. not. 2night i am having a typical friday that you would think aobut in like a movie or something (and i mean friday night, not day): pizza and a movie (pirates of the carribean: at world's end) i am excited because someone besides jenjeanne actyually found my blog. she is carrotop. (or he? somehow i am pretty sure you are a she) go to her blog: www.carrotop2710.blogspot.com. and go to jenjeanne's: www.sweetooth2710.blogspot.com know what's weird? they both end in 2710 and they have no idea who they are. at least i think. maybe carrotop goes to my school and i don't even know it, although unless you are lying because it's the internet and you can, i don't think there are any purple haired people in my grade, or my school. i have no list for you today... never mind, yes i do: pizza toppings (heard of and unheard of)

Interesting Things

About the animal testing poll... unless you know a ton about animal testing, you should probably be neutral about the subject. Reseaching stuff about it really helps you to take a side. Even though we just did a project on it in Language Arts, I STILL do't know enough about it to take a side. Here are a few sites you can go to to help you understand more about it (or you can just google stuff about animal testing):

• http://www.geocities.com/paws_n_tails/AnimalTestingFacts.html (or google "animal testing interesting facts" and click on the first one)
• http://www.kids4research.org/debates.html (for)
• www.peta.org (against)

OK, now sonme other random things... SNOW!!!!!!! maybe it will snow so much that we won't have school tomorrow... i especially don't want to go since the ski trip is cancelled... the snow would have made it easier to ski, but NO, it's too COLD. jenjeanne you are probably saying that it will NEVER be a snow day because you always say that but almost every year we get snow days in january, february, and sometimes even march. so there!!!! that would be so cool to have a three day week!!! i love waking up on a snow day and watching the news, and then you are wringing your sweaty hands and hoping... hoping... then you watch for the C's and finally... your school!!!! and you jump for joy and wake up your sister and she hits you but then she hugs you because she is so happy that it is a snow day and so are you and then you go outside and play in the glorious life-saving snow until you realize that you are still in your PJ's and you rush inside because it is so cold and then you eat breakfast because you actually have time since there is NO SCHOOL and then your friends call and you go to their house and party like it's your birthday only it's not but pretty close- IT'S A SNOW DAY!!!!!!!!! i seriously hope that it's gonna be a snow day tomorrow becuase based on what i jsut wrote if it isn't i am going to be VERY disappointed. and wow that was a long sentence before. oh yeah, i almost forgot- a list of AWESOME songs:

• girlfriend
• I can do better

Me Drooling (and some other things)

I am home sick right now and I was just watch MTV Cribs and this one guy from Nickelback has THE most AWESOME house EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (this would be me drooling) he has a giant shower, an indoor pool with a hot tub and steam shower, an outdoor pool with a bar and the bar seats are in the pool (also, the pool has two levels and the second level has a window underwater for the 1st level to see from the bar). He has literally like thirty fourwheelers/snowmobiles/jetskis/whatever other things like that you can imagine, his OWN STUDIO, a pool table and bar, and a TON of other really cool stuff. sometimes i think the reason they even HAVE that show is to make people like me cry. seriously. my house looks like a shack compared to his!!!!! also, this other guy who i forgot has a home theater with a giant screen and six leather reclining chairs. (he has a bunch of other stuff too, but not as cool as the theater)

Anyway, i have a list of awesome books that you must read caz they are so good

~The Truecolors series (especially Fool's Gold, Harsh Pink, Faded Denim, and Moon White)
~Stargirl
~The Princess Diaries series
~The Clique series
~The HARRY POTTER series (i am obsessed. harry potter is the BEST)
~Bass Ackwards and Belly Up (this title may be weird, but this book is really, really, really good)
~The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, The Second Summer of the Sisterhood, Girls in Pants, and Forever in Blue (this is a super good series too! it's kind of like Bass Ackwards and Belly Up only differentish)
There are tons more but I can't remember all of them at the moment, so maybe more later. Right now here is a list of great movies you should see (some are younger, some are older (as in age-level), but all are good)

• Live Free or Die Hard (SO AWESOME!!!)
• harry potter series (of course)
• shrek the third
• Sidney White
• Eragon
• The Poseidon Adventure (both the new and the old)
• The Titanic (you've probably already seen it but if you haven't you should it is really good!)
• Lost in Space
• Mulan (i don't care if it is babyish this movie is AWESOME!!!!! only they ruined it with the 2nd one caz that one is so stupid!!!)
• King Arthur (very good)
• The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe (only if you see it too many times you start to hate it)

like before there are more but i just can't remember all of them so maybe more later. anyway, the iCarly theme song is in my head so i am going to write down the lyrics (sorry if some of them are wrong)

I know, I see, somehow the world will change for me. and be so wonderful. live life, breathe air. i know somehow we're gonna get there. and feel so wonderful. it's all for real. i'm tellin you just how i feel. so wake up the memories (members?) of my nation. it's your time to be. there's no chance unless you take one. it's your time to see the brighter side of every situation. some things are meant to be so gimme your best and leave the rest to me. leave it all to me. leave it all to me. just leave it all to me.

i love iCarly!!! it's such a cool show!!! anyway, this post is too long now so please comment and bye!!!

math+homework+me=headache*i hate it squared

I HATE MATH HOMEWORK!!!!!!!

guess what day it is???

IT'S FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and i am especially happy beacause one thing i hate is coming back to school after a break!!! And i am SO tired and my hand hurts and i feel a little sick (which is stupid because i wanted to get sick today, but in the MORNING, so i didn't have to go to school today, but no, i am going to be sick for the weekend, instead. that's what i get!!!) but the zoey 101 movie is on tonight, the one where she might leave (even thought i know it's so obvious why, because jamie lynn spears is pregnant!!! so obviously she has to leave), and it is on at 7 and 8 (i have 2 nick channels), and so if i watch it at either time, i will still be able to watch fashionably late (this awesome show by stacy london, a cohost of What Not To Wear, a show i also love, and it is sooooooo cool i like when she goes place to see how they make stuff or whatever. and last time she made ginormous (why doesn't anybody say egantic?) cookies and it was sweet. anyway, the show is on on fridays at nine.)!!!!!

i am proud to say that i did EVERY SINGLE one of the things that were on the list (even covering my face in something (chocolate sauce), and running across the yard and back barefoot!!! except a) i didn't go around the block in shorts, a tshirt, and flip flops because that was optional anyway and my dad said i couldn't, and b) i drank sparkling juice instead of a sip of wine. oh well, that's ok, because i didn't HAVE to do any of those things anyway. and those things are very self-finding type find your inner self and such (yes that sounds stupid but i is very true. i swear.)

anyway bye!!!
