Changes and Stuff (lots of stuff!!!)

Well, as you might have noticed, I changed my profile name to 12 purple roses. This has some meaning behind it that, if you know me, is really quite obvious... I also changed my profile to be more interesting and added a beautiful picture of a purple rose! Look at my complete profile! And also... if you have a blogger account, you can become a follower of my greatly awesome blog! So go amaze yourselves!
Beauty At It's Greatest
I love fall!!! There was this really awesome tree I say while walking to Jodi's. It was bright neon yellow! It was so cool!

Now a poem about me and colors that I wrote! Don't say anything about it until you're done with it, okay?

Explanation of Colors and Me

Red
Red is me when I scream and yell and stomp and am so mad that I look like a tomato and just can't express my anger in a civil way and so I'm uncivil and kind of explode

Orange
Orange is me when I'm in a bad mood and if you tshake me or twist me the wrong way I'll blast off like a bottle of Fanta so stay away

Yellow
Yellow is me when I'm happy and there's really no reason for it I just can't stop smiling and laughing and I'm giddy and I feel like the sun because I'm just so bright and shiny

Green
Green is me when I'm feeling helpful like I can set the table or save the world kind of like trees they do so much and so little at the same time and you're grateful for them

Blue
Blue is me when I'm glum or sad or so hopeless that all the tears in the world com flooding out like rain but hopeless is really more of a navy or like the ocean going on and on forever

Purple
Purple is me when I'm calm and happy and realxed and feeling regal like a queen wearing her satin purple gown and just sitting and feeling content and satisfied knowing how lucky I am

Rainbow
Rainbow is me when I'm writng this poem because as I write each color I'm feeling them all and feeling grateful for them all and just a bit gay for comparing myself to a rainbow



And now...
I was just feeling grateful, so I'm going to write something nice about each and every one of my friends and even people that aren't my friends I just talk to... (in alphabetical order almost without hurting my brain too much)

Way Back Then

1900's- The dresses are way too hot and itchy and scratchy. I would die. Though they look kind of cool, in an old-fashioned way.

20's- I LOVE the 20's. The dresses are sweet! And their short little haircuts look awesome. And the music reminds me of Christmas, which is always a good thing.

30's- They didn't really have a fashion, did they? Well, except rags. Poor little Great Depression dudes! Of course, with the economy in this state, that could be us soon!

40's- I don't really remember what the clothes looked like during the 40's. Dresses with collars and stuff??? All I remember is WWII and the invention of meatloaf.

50's- This was the modernizing of the US. Everyone was like, look at me! I have a TV! I like their cute short little dresses and stuff!

60's- The beginning of hippies! The decade where most of our parents were born! Too many turtlenecks.

70's- Again with the turtlenecks! I know this decade pretty well because of That 70's Show. I don't really like the style, but on the people in the show it looks normal and actually pretty good.

80's- This was the decade of the freakshows. I'm serious. They were all weirdos according to how they dress. And they all wore really really big glasses that made their eyes look small! Leather pants and strange vynl jackets and stuff. Weird...

90's- I swear, everyone in this decade was color blind. They have the weirdest ideas of what matches. Of all the decades, this has the WORST style in my opinion. Leggings and freakish hair and weird leotards that make their hips look five miles wide. And ponytails on top of their head!

We dress the most normal. Of course, in 20 years I might not be saying that, but seriously, our generation's style isn't that weird... well, some people... but they just don't know how to dress. Anyway, bye!!!

ps scroll down and read the post before this AND COMMENT! Cuz you guys never do!

The Bright Side (a poem)

You should visit here sometime.
It's usually sunny and
Even the rain sparkles.
When you wave
There'll always be
A smile in return.
A laugh is like
A sprinkling of sugar.
You know we're closer than you
Think, just a peek through the window
Come on over,
Join us on the bright side.

BAD MOOD

I want a new email address which my parents won't let me get. I want to sleep over at Jennifer's and Maddie's which my parents won't let me do. I want a cell phone which my parents won't let me get. Besides the cell phone, is that too much too ask??? People are annoying. They think they're sooooo cool and really everyone hates them. Someone should just go up to them and go, "Everyone hates you and you're annoying and you're not as cool as you think you are, so get away" And people should be nicer to each other. Like if someone waves to you or says hi, you don't just look through them like a window. YOU WAVE BACK. Duh. And I sucked at soccer today and I got like thirty wrong on my math assignment cuz stupid Mr. Apt made every little thing worth a point and he gave us like two tons of homework and he sucks sometimes, you know? And then the stupid activity bus never came, which my mom made us take, so me and Jodi got home from soccer at 5:15, and soccer ends at 4:15. And I keep thinking, "Look at the bright side..." or, "At least we..." or good stuff that happened today, but its fun to be in a bad mood sometimes, even though usually its funner to be happy. My stupid brain is WIRED to be constantly happy. Like if I'm mad or sad or IN A BAD MOOD LIKE NOW, I'll just forget about it after a while even if I don't want to. Or if I'm mad at my sister then like five minutes later I'll start talking to her like normal and she'll be like "Aren't you supposed to be mad at me?" But now I'm DETERMINED to stay mad............................................................................... This is hard. Ok, stupid sixth grade went to stupid Deep Portage today. And eighth grade is going to DC in like a week. And seventh grade doesn't go ANYWHERE or do ANYTHING cuz it sucks and its boring. And next year I can't even GO to DC because its a thousand dollars. Whoever made it that much is STUPID cuz if you went outside of school it wouldn't even be that expensive. And schools even get a discount cuz there's tons of people. More things to be mad about... None of you commented on my last post. What the heck? (normally I wouldn't care but since I'm looking for reasons to be mad... Anyway don't take it personally) And Louisse after this you're probably going to say I'm a loser so shut up cuz I'm not. Hey... Speaking of my last post... We LOST the homecoming game. What the heck is that??? Stupid Hawks. They suck. And the STORM??? What is that??? We're a CLOUD. Oh my God. That is so stupid. Well, I have to go eat dinner now, which is probably stupid leftovers. We ALWAYS have leftovers. Anyway, I hope I got you in a bad mood.

ps it's fun to be in a bad mood, trust me

pps I didn't use a single exclamation point this WHOLE post. That is actually the first time in the history of this blog, whick has existed to almost a year. Whoop-di-doo. Blah. (Louisse shut up)

We Lost

Man that was so lame that we lost the homecoming game!!! We went into overtime because it was tied 21-21, and then they scored a field goal and won and it was really lame!!! They couldn't even let us win on our homecoming... Well, it was a close game, and we were ahead almost the whole game.

Ewww... I have to write a paper and I'm actually supposed to be doing that right now, but whatever I don't want to. Not that I really have much to write about. It's almost Halloween!!! Only 26 more days!!! Well, I think I'm done posting now there's nothing to post about... I want it to be Halloween/Thanksgiving/Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sneaky!!!

So when we went to a movie on Saturday, we went to Walgreens first, because its like ten times cheaper than the theater candy. And we all got giant bottles of cream soda and like three boxes of candy. And then, since we were all carrying presents except Paige, we bought a gift bag. And then we put all the junk food in there and Paige carried it in like a present and it was so funny!!! Ooh, that's right, we're sneaky!!! And then at Leeann Chin we ordered these little citrus ice cream things and then we put toothpicks in them and started singing happy birthday and Louisse was hiding and then she blew out the toothpicks that were never on fire. It was pretty funny.
Hey go listen to Family Portrait by p!nk. It's a sad song but its addicting. I like it and I'm listening to it right now!!!
You know, I haven't excerpted in a while. I will right now.

A thin sheet of cold fog turned the tall piles of colorful leaves to soggy brown messes. I had had my brown corduroy jacket for a few years now, and it was worn thin. I pulled it closer to me, shielded against the October chill. A cold whisper of a breeze blew my hair into my eyes, and I took my freezing hand out of my pocket to wipe it away. The thin gold chain that sat on my collarbones felt like ice against my skin, biting like a tiny golden snake.
Finally I reached the house. I quickly ran up the steps leading to the door and let myself in. Upon calling out, I found that I was alone. I heated some tea and pulled on a fresh pair of warm socks. Then I curled up on the beaten couch and fell asleep.

That wasn't the bestest, but whatever. So guess what???? When we went to the zoo on Friday, on the way back, our bus got lost!!! And we were still on the bus when school ended!!! And then all the buses left and we got to school at like 3:00!!! And so they had a separate buses come for our city and that other one that's the name of our county too. And we ended up getting home at 3:30!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What's funny, though, is that when we were getting on the bus at the zoo to go home, we all got on the right bus, but then stupid Mrs. Ford said no, You're supposed to be on bus 5 and this is bus 6! Even though it was the samd bus and bus driver and everything. So they made us switch buses even though there were like fifty of us on our bus and like three people on the other bus. So so what what bus we're on, just as long as we're on a bus!!! But whatever! It's fate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Because we switched and then that was what bus got lost! FATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was so awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The End!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You Live In a Zoo!

Happy Birthday to you!
You're going to the zoo!!!
ZJ drew you as a monkey,
And you look like one too!!!

Just kidding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We're going to the zoo tomorrow! Fun, right? Well, either way, it's better than school. Pretty cool, huh?

Television
We were on TV!!! Yeah, baby! You could only see little snippets of me, but that's okay! and Paige and Leah both got interviewed! It was pretty awesome!!!

Knights and Castles
Well, not actually the knights part, but in art we made castles. Actually, you could make a castle, tower, or house, and I amde a house and it is so awesome! Only I forgot to do icicles! Oh well.

This is how I feel, when I think about you.
(singing, words, etc, etc)
I feel like a hero, and you are my heroine. Do you know that you're love is the sweetest?

Sorry, I'm listening to Hero/Heroine by Boys Like Girls. Okay, 4 minutes by Madonna and Justin Timberlake now!!!

(music...)
(more music...)
(words I don't know...)
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, just say the word and I'ma give you what you want.
(blah blah blah I don't want to write it all down)
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, just say the word and I'ma give you what you want.
(blah blah 4 minutes to save the world)
Tick tock tick tock tick tock break it down

Okay, what should I write about???
Can't wait for Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well, firstly Thanksgiving, but whatever! I'm totally in the Christmas spirit! Only 60 days until Thanksgiving break!!! Which, unfortunately, is only 5 days long, but they DID add those 5 days to Christmas break, which is now 16 days long!!!!! Pretty cool, right??? YEAH!!!

I'm comin up so you better get this party started
I'm comin up so you better get this party started
(blah I can't type that fast)
I'm comin up so you better get this party started (I'm comin up, I'm comin)
I'm comin up so you better get this party started

Yeah!!! Woo hoo!!! This song gets me pumped! We need a reason to have a party! In March I'll have a whatever party because no one likes march. Because you're like ewwwww I can't wait for winter to end, and you want a reason to be happy. So the reason will be that soon you're going to Raisa's awesome party and you can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm comin up so you better get this party started (I'm comin up, I'm comin)
I'm comin up so you better get this party started

Now it's Don't Stop the Music by Rihanna!!!!!!!!!!!
Do you know what you started?
I just came here to party
But now we're rockin on the dance floor, actin naughty
You're hands around my waist
Just let the music play
We're hand in hand, chest to chest and now we're face to face
I wanna take you away, just escape into the music
DJ let it play
I just can't refuse it
Like the way you do it
I wanna take you away, just escape into the music
DJ let it play
I just can't refuse it
Like the way you do it
Please don't stop the music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Numero ONE HUNDRED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's taken me nearly a year, but here I am!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Number ONE HUNDRED!!! Fireworks and such!!! Yay!!!
I don't really want to have a big celebration, so I will just write randomness like usual. Here is a suckish poem:


The Sky

My eyes and the sky switched places
The sky is gray and
My eyes are raining
There’s thunder outside
I wish I could do the same but
I can’t say a word
Skies aren’t supposed to talk
And you left me speechless

Inside Jokes:
Did I see what I saw?
I'm an antiseafooditarian!
Zack attacks racks of snacks... (on and on and on)
Go with the flow...
Party in my box!!!
Let's ditch this gig!
(ear pull)
Sock Boy!
I'm so excited!

I can't remember the rest, but I'm sure there's more...

Let's see... what else can I put on this post?
Well, I went to an apple orchard today and almost got a bunny! We were going to name him Benedict. Then it would be Benny for short and his name would be Benny the Bunny! Funny! Runny! Sunny! Okay I'm done.

Well, this is kind of a pathetic hundredth post, but maybe I'll add more later! Wait! Here's so more sucky poems:

All It Takes

All it takes is the first step
The first voice
The first choice
With your hand in mine
Together we’ll build
the broken houses, feed
the empty stomachs, save
the lost hearts.

Time

Running
Running
Running
It’s like dogs at my heels
Snapping
Snarling
You can’t outrun time
It’s always right behind you
Never
Slow
Down

Okay, that's all, bye now!!!

Guess Who

I DON'T WANNA GUESS WHO!!!! Who are you??? If I don't find out soon... What's annoying is that your game is working! Whatever. From this point on, I refuse to let it bug me!!! Well, just a little. And I still want to know who it is!

Girls and Boys
It would be so weird to have a name like Jordan or something and then you meet a guy named Jordan and you're like Hey I have the same name as you!!! Some other Girl/Guy names:
Jesse
Jamie
Bailey
Max
Sam
Alex
DJ
CJ
Leslie
Marian (yeah I know those two are weird for girls but its true I've seen guys with those names)
Pat
Jo/Joe
Ryan (I've seen a girl with that name, believe it or not)
Lynn
Louise (Louisse said she met some guy with that name)
Lou
Taylor
Clay
Kerry
Jerry
Chris/Kris
Lindsay (weird I know)
Cory/Cori/Kori
Dylan (some shows and books have girls with that name)
Ren
Carly (that can be a guy's name)
Sheri
Ray/Rae
Vy (short for Vivian or Victoria or Victor)
Morgan (like Morgan Freeman)
Sydney
Reagan
Matt
Okay we can't think of any more bye now!

Nothing To Post About!

I'll post a poem that I wrote a long time ago:
Hold on... I have to go get it...

BTW none of them have names unless otherwise stated

Instant Love
package torn open
Just Add Water!
Ingredients
blond hair
blue eyes
white smile
I want a refund

You probably don't get that but Jennifer does. Hey, none of you ever go on here anymore, except Louisse who has nothing better to do than insult me all the time... not that I care or she means it, but whatev... it WOULD be nice to have some REAL comments on here... JENNIFER, MEAGHAN, ABBY, MADDIE, ANNELISE, LEAH. Did you all abandon me... AGAIN? I know you said you still read it, but how do I know if you are if you never comment??? More poems now...

Clouds white as a star
Snow on the moonlit path
Tears that glisten like sapphires
They were so beautiful
But...
Clouds clear
Snow melts
Tears dry

Here's a follow-up to that poem:

Clouds cleared
Snow melted
Tears dried
We thought all was lost
But...
Behind each cloud is the sun
After each winter is the spring
Under each tear
Is a Smile

Seasons
I can't wait for winter! I want it to be Christmas, but after Christmas and New Year's and the holiday season, I want it to go away! Or else I want the leaves to start falling and it to be fall so it can be Halloween and Thanksgiving and Homecoming and stuff!!! I hate this in between not summer not fall thing! And as cool as winter sounds, the fact that is lasts half of the year is not so appealing. Like after the holiday season it should magically become spring, at LEAST by March.

Look Carefully
When you watch the So What video, look carefully just before her hair catches on fire. You'll see that though the hairdresser is spraying it with hairspray or gasoline or whatever, p!nk actually has a lighter and is flicking it on and off absentmindedly.

Well I guess I had more to post about that I thought!!! Bye now!!!

Curb Ball

Ok, so Kaden made up this awesome game called curb ball, and now him, Matt O, Matt P, Travis and me all play it. This is how you play: If you're the server, you stand facing the curb and bounce the ball against it. Then you hit it behind you. You need anywhere from three people to ten to play, but its funnest with about six. After you hit it, everyone else, who is standing behind you, hits it. When you hit it, you call off the number that you hit it. For example, after the ball is served, I would hit it and say "one". Then someone else would hit it and say "two" and so on. You can play just wiht your team or against another team. If you play against another team, then when the ball hits the ground, the other team gets the ball. Whatever number you got up to is how many points you have. You can play however many rounds you want. So say the ball hit the ground after someone said nineteen, then you would have nineteen points. Then the other team gets up to twelve, and it would be your turn. If you get up to fifteen, then you would add that to your score from before. Fun, right? Totally.

Home Sick
Sure, its fun to miss school, but today in PAC we're digging in forensics, which sucks to miss. Oh well.

So What
Look to the right of this post and watch the So What music video by P!nk!!!!!!!!!!! Its really funny and awesome!!!

Bye now!!!

Quitters Never Win!

Okay, so Louisse QUIT the bet; apparently it was too hard for her to be nice!!! I won, so Louisse has to dress all preppy on a day of my choosing!!!

Neighborhood Fun
Well, my neighborhood/street is a bit weird; all the guys act stupid and we never end up playing anything. But last night was SOOO fun!!! We had people from Jodi's neighborhood (Jodi, Jonny, and Erin), and then there was Matthew P, Milica, Nick, Tommy, Ali, and Me!!! Ben and Chad were there too, while we played a very intense game of four square, but then they left so we played truth or dare, which was very fun!!! Yay for everything!!! If you're wondering where Kayliann, Kaden, MacKenzie, Jariah, and Jinda were, they are at their dads this weekend. (Well, MacKenzie, the stepsister, was at her mom's, but whatever) Travis and Matt were at home, and Lydia was sick.

Anyway, I gtg now, so bye!

The First Day

Well, the first day has come and gone (yesterday), and it felt... just like sixth grade!!! But I saw you all again, and it was quite fun!!!!!! Sadly, a lot of you are in Blue Caribou, but at least we all sit together at lunch!!! Hooray for large square tables!!! So its the second day and I already have homework!!! A lot, too!!! Fortunately I already finished our massive math homework!!! Me and Louisse have already started a bet: We have to be nice. That shouldn't be too hard for me, but for Louisse... Well, let's just say that this should be interesting. If I lose, then I have to dress super goth for a day, and if Louisse loses, then she has to dress super preppy for a day. Yay for bets!!! Well, I have to go play basketball with Kaden (he just wandered over to my house). Sorry for the short post!!! More later, bye!!!

Raisa!

Make It Last

Only six days left!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh no!!! Make it last!!! Do all of the things that you said that you were going to do this summer but never really ended up doing. Fly a kite! Go to the beach and swim to the buoy! Go skydiving! (Okay, I was just kidding about that one) Go to that fair that we go to and go on that giant tall ride that drops you down!!! (you all know what I'm talking about) We are running out of time!!! Use it well!!!
And now, for an exerpt:

Aayla shuddered at the thought of fighting Elissa with no one beside her. Sure, Aayla was a good fighter, but Elissa was far more powerful than her, and she could never defeat her on her own.
Soon Aayla reached the spot where Brokk had told her to go. She knelt in the dry grass and examined the ground. It was no different than anywhere else in the field. Still, Aayla trusted Brokk; why would he lie? Closing her eyes, she uttered the words that he had whispered to her.
The earth below Aayla's feet began to vibrate and rumble. Aayla stood. Maybe she had said the wrong words. Was this supposed to happen? Suddenly, a single spot of the ground began to shine. With a burst of blinding blue light, everything stopped. And lying on the dying weeds, right in the spot where Aayla was supposed to look, was a dirty, rusty, shovel.
Bewildered, Aayla picked up the shovel. It was heavier than it looked, and the wood handle wasn't sanded, so Aayla presumed that she would get splinters while doing whatever it was that she was supposed to do. She dug the tip of the shovel into the ground and pushed down with her foot. The dirt was hard and dry, so lifting up the clump of earth was hard. She continued to dig, pearls of sweat forming on her forehead. As she dug deeper, the pearls melted down her face.
When Aayla had dug down about three feet, she started to see a glow in the now moist dirt below her. With a new fierceness, she shoveled out the remaining mud until she revealed a tiny glittering orb. She lifted the orb out of the hole.

Okay, I have to go now, so more tomorrow or later today, okay??? Okay!!! Bye now!!!

RAISA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Handlebars Lyrics

I can ride my bike with no handlebars
No handlebars
No handlebars
I can ride my bike with no handlebars
No handlebars
No handlebars
Look at me
look at me
hands in the air
like it's good to be
ALIVE and
I'm a famous rapper
even when the paths're all crookedy
I can show you how to do-si-do
I can show you how to scratch a record
I can take apart the remote control
And I can almost put it back together
I can tie a knot in a cherry stem
I can tell you about Leif Ericson
I know all the words to "De Colores"
And "I'm Proud to be an American"
Me and my friend saw a platypus
Me and my friend made a comic book
And guess how long it took
I can do anything that I want
cause look
I can keep rhythm with no metronome
No metronome
No metronome
I can see your face on the telephone
On the telephone
On the telephone
Look at me
Look at me
Just called to say that it's good to be
ALIVE
In such a small world
All curled up with a book to read
I can make money
open up a thrift store
I can make a living off a magazine
I can design an engine
sixty four miles to a gallon of gasoline
I can make new antibiotics
I can make computers survive aquatic conditions
I know how to run a business
And I can make you wanna buy a product
Movers shakers and producers
Me and my friends understand the future
I see the strings that control the systems
I can do anything with no assistance
Cuz I can lead a nation with a microphone
With a microphone
With a microphone
I can split the atom of a molecule
Of a molecule
Of a molecule
Look at me
Look at me
Driving and I won't
stop
And it feels so good to be
Alive and on top
My reach is global
My tower secure
My cause is noble
My power is pure
I can hand out a million vaccinations
Or let'em all die in exasperation
Have'em all healed leavin lacerations
Have'em all killed by assassination
I can make anybody go to prison
Just because I don't like'em
and I can do anything with no permission
I have it all under my command
Because I can guide a missile by satellite
By satellite
By satellite
I can hit a target through a telescope
Through a telescope
Through a telescope
I can end the planet in a holocaust
In a holocaust
In a holocaust
In a holocaust
In a holocaust
In a holocaust
In a holocaust
I can ride my bike with no handlebars
No handle bars
No handlebars
I can ride my bike with no handlebars
No handlebars
no handlebars

Viva La Vida Chorus

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my soul, my shield,
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain,
I know St. Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word,
But that was when I ruled the world

Been There, Done That

Sorry yall, I already went to orientation and all I saw was Jennifer. My locker is in the SIXTH GRADE HALLWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The tradgedy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But I'm right by Jennifer and Mr. Harmon and my homeroom (Mrs. Green. She sucks). So guess what??? I wrote a play!!! It's for my sister. She a fifth grader, but a bunch of third graders are going to be in it, so it's a youngish reading level. And the title sucks, but whatever. I'll copy and paste it here: (the stuff in parenthesis is supposed to be in italics, but for some reason when I pasted it it wasn't)

Dr. Max’s Evil Plot

· Commander Juve (boss dude)- Jinda
· Agent Audrey (smart dude)- Raisa
· Agent Brooke (pretty dude)- Kayliann
· Stacey (kidnapped dude)- Lydia
· Lola (assistant dude)- Milica

Before the first scene, have each character introduce themselves. The last character to go will say the following:
Welcome to Dr. Max’s Evil Plot. Dr. Max is an evil professor who has kidnapped Stacey. He plans to strike again at a costume party in downtown New York. It is up to agents Kevin, Audrey and Brooke to save the day.

Scene 1
(Starts in office. Commander Juve is sitting in office chair; agents are around her. Brooke is texting someone, Kevin is asleep, and Audrey is listening attentively)

Commander Juve (CJ): Alright team; in order to catch Dr. Max, you are all going to have to work together. Dr. Max has kidnapped a girl named Stacey Blake. He plans to capture someone else at the 2008 NYC Halloween Party. It is up to you three to save Stacey and everyone else at the party. Move out!

Scene 2
(The three agents are at a colorful party. They are wearing costumes, but underneath they have lots of spy gear)

Brooke: Ugh! My costume is like, so itchy!

Kevin: Mine too!

Audrey: Get over it. We need to find this Dr. Max guy and get out of here before someone gets hurt. Get out your trackers.
(Brooke examines her nails, and Kevin pulls out the wrong device)

Kevin: How do you work this thing? (He fiddles around with it until it makes a loud noise)

Brooke: OMG! You like, made me like, break a nail! (flaps hands and hyperventilates)

Audrey (shaking head): Why did I get stuck with the biggest idiots in the entire company? (to agents) Let’s go. (They wander off)

Scene 3
(Dr. Max, Lola, and Stacey are in Dr. Max’s lair. Stacey is tied up and unconscious and Lola is holding a clipboard)

Dr. Max: Alright, Lola, take this down: (Lola poises pen) “I am Professor Maxwell Jackson. As you may have noticed, I have kidnapped Stacey Blake. If you ever want to see her again, then give me three million dollars by midnight.”

Lola (after finishing writing): Isn’t three thousand dollars kind of a lot of money?

Dr. Max: Three million!

(Stacey starts to stir, then opens her eyes.)

Stacey: This isn’t my house.

Dr. Max (rolling his eyes): Obviously.

Stacey: Who are you? (starts to scratch at something on the floor)

Lola: He’s Professor Maxwell Jackson. He kidnapped you. He wants three thousand dollars.

Dr. Max: Three million!

Lola (ignoring him): When your family gives him three thousand doll-

Dr. Max: Three million!

Lola: Whatever. When he gets three thousand dollars, he’ll let you go.

Stacey (looking up): What?

Scene 4
(The agents are still at the party. They are searching for Dr. Max, who is hiding under a table with Lola and Stacey)

Brooke: Can we like, go outside and get some like, fresh air? The humidity in here is like, ruining my hair.

Audrey: There’s no time! We have to find Dr. Max!
Kevin: Who’s Dr. Max? (Audrey rolls her eyes; Brooke whispers something into Kevin’s ear, and he nods) Oh.

Brooke: I got a text! (she pulls out her cell phone) Commander Juve says that she got a ransom note-

Kevin: What’s a random note?

Brooke (ignoring him): She got a ransom note from Dr. Max saying that we need to give him three thousand dollars by midnight! She says that we need to find him before midnight or it’ll be a disaster and we’ll lose our jobs! (she looks at her watch) We only have thirty minutes to find him!

(The three of them start to look around frantically for Dr. Max. Just then he comes out. Lola is holding a microphone to her mouth)

Lola: Ladies and gentlemen! I am Lola, and this is Dr. Max! We have secured this building so that no one can escape! We have also kidnapped this young girl! (she pulls out Stacey) Give us all of your money-

Audrey: Stop right there!

Kevin: Yeah! We’re members of the BFI!

Audrey (to Kevin): BFI is a garbage company, you idiot! It’s FBI!

(Lola and Dr. Max snigger)

Brooke: Let go of Stacey!

Stacey: What?

Audrey (whispering to Kevin): Get out your net.

(Kevin gets out a net and tries to throw onto Dr. Max. Instead, it ends up on him. Lola runs to grab him and trips on a paper cup. Dr. Max follows and trips on Lola. By then Kevin is out of the net and throws in onto Lola and Dr. Max)

Brooke: Now we have you!

Stacey: Hey! I got a text! And I thought all of my friends forgot about me! (she pulls out her cell phone)

Audrey (shocked): You had a cell phone the whole time and you didn’t even use it?!!!

Stacey: Was I supposed to?

(Just then Commander Juve walks in, looking at the scene before her)

CJ: Good job, team! You did it, and with three minutes to spare! You’ll all be receiving special medals for your bravery! (she pulls three medals from her coat. Audrey, Brooke, and Kevin all line up and she places the medals around their necks. She turns to Lola and Dr. Max) And as for you…

Scene 5
(Dr. Max and Lola are in a jail cell. Stacey, Commander Juve, and the three agents are around them outside the cell)

Dr. Max: I still can’t believe you wrote three thousand dollars on the ransom note instead of three million!

Kevin: And I still don’t know what a random note is!

(Dr. Max and Lola leave the cell; everyone holds hands and bows.)

And don't forget to read the post before this!!! Because you guys always read the top post and you don't look to see if there's one before it that you haven't read!!!

The Disputed Controversy...
It seems that no one knows the true lyrics of When I Grow Up by the Pussycat Dolls. Some think it's groupies, some think it's boobies, and I've even heard rubies! Jennifer and I so graciously looked online, and we saw YouTube lyrics that said groupies. But! We also looked on metrolyrics.com, where it said boobies, and completealbumlyrics.com, where it said groupies. It seems the only way to find out is to ask the Pussycat Dolls themselves... though I suppose that you could always look inside the lyrics of the cover of their CD... Whatever!!!

Bye now!!!

Yours Truly and Forever,
RAISA!!!

You come over unannounced

Lose control, all body, all soul

I swear I could fly

Nothing Really...

I don't really have anything to say right now, but I wanted to post so I decided to. Okay, I will have my brother say something then type it. Hold on...
Star Wars is cool. (he couldn't really think of anything to say) Luke is my favorite character.
Lego Star Wars II rocks! Computer games are cool. Our deck floor is brown. (random...) I like Cheez-Its.
Okay, that is all. Wow, my brother is as random as I am. Alright I'm done posting. Maybe I'll post again in like a half an hour.

HOORAY FOR THE RED WHITE AND BLUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yay!!! I LOVE the Fourth of July!!! It's so festive and fun and fantastical!!! I hope I see you all at or in the parade!!! I could have signed up to be in the parade for my church, but they were promoting 75 years of the Chicken Dinner, so I would have had to do the chicken dance. As hilarious as that would have been for all of you, I don't think that's what I'd like to be known for. Wouldn't it be cool if I could be a QUEEN and then I could wear a royal purple satin gown and a sparkling tiara and creamy white gloves that go up to my elbows and I could wave gracefully, basking in glory and warm sunlight? Ah yes... I can picture it now... Well, we can't all be queens. But at least I can dream!!! In order to celebrate the 25th anniversary of our city's celebration, the fireworks are supposed to be better than ever!!! And for those of you who are going to the carnival today, there's lots of music, food, games, rides and FUN to go around. Hopefully I'll see you! Oh dear. I haven't seen most of you in a month. As much as I love summer, I almost wish we had school so that I could see all of you. We've already gone through a MONTH of summer... so sad. It's 2:30!!! Only one more hour and then I can go and parTAY!!! And I haven't done that since the fifth of June!!! Everyone likes a good parTAY!!! Possible Fourth preparation that you might have done:

• Dug out your old sparkly American flag T-shirt and pair of white shorts
• Rushed to Aero or AE or something to buy a NEW sparkly American flag T-shirt and pair of white shorts
• Found those obnoxious bead things that we wear only on Spirit Day and the Fourth
• Painted your nails red, white, blue, or all of the above
• Spray painted your hair... or maybe that's for tomorrow

I do love getting into the spirit of things, don't you? So don your red, white, and blue, and go CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cheerio!!!

Hopefully you all can do a decent British accent! Okay, on the count of three: Cheerio! Alright I'm done with that now. So I have seen many people this summer; I have a very long list! The most interesting by far were Brad W at Target (he was like "Raisa" in this accusing type voice and I was like "You're a dork") and Mr. Carlson at the library (we waved and he said "Hey girls how are you?"). But yeah ask me later who else I saw!!! Okay Louisse is bugging the heck out of me right now and she says to do title down acrostics for people, so here's some:

Okay those are the only people that read my blog so bye now...
Wait!!! When you comment please do one for me!!!
BYE NOW!

Just Us

When people are scared, what are they scared of? Robbers? Murderers? Knives? Guns? Terrorists? People were scared of the Soviet Union during the Cold War, because we were on the verge of a nuclear war. Yeah, that's pretty scary. But who launches the missiles? Who drops the bomb? Who shoots the gun? Who stabs the knife? People! We're all just people. Men, women, children, really, none of us is scarier, or more powerful than the other. We're all just human beings with the same body parts, brains, hearts, feelings, thoughts. Sure, some people are beautiful, others ugly, some smart, others dumb, some nice, some mean, but that doesn't make us any less of a human. When people say "I hate this government" or "I hate Canada", do they really hate the government or Canada? No, because what do the government and Canada have in common? They're made up of people! And you don't know all those people or what their beliefs are, so how do you know you hate them? You don't! And we shouldn't be scared of the government or Canada or even Russia, because we're all just people!!!

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!!!

If you thought it, it better be what you want

Can't find the reason to keep holdin on
There is nothing left to prove
How can you just deny this simple truth

You can tell me that there's nobody else

7. It's you and me, movin at the speed of light

For this one night
It's gon be me and you on the dance floor

Took my sweet time when I was bitter

There's like 1000 something people in the US with my first name, and I'M THE ONLY ONE IN THE US WITH MY FIRST AND LAST NAME!!!!!!! So there! I AM the one and only!!!!! woo hoo!!!

PON AND ZI

ps- the yellow one is pon

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 am the master!!! Detective Raisa to the rescue!!! Yay! Anyway, the movie I was watching last night at Jennifer's was The Cat in the Hat, hence the randomness. 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. My friend lives in Europe and she has a Mum. She went to Africa to learn stuff. So did I. ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I like the color purple!!! Anyway I g2g!!! Or do I? Bye now!!! Maybe later if I post I'll be less hyper. I plan to stay up until midnight tonight. Bye!

OMG

OMG!!! Book projects are due on Wednesday and I didn't bring anything home!!! Must work!!! G2G, sorry for the really short post.

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

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!!!

BYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.............

ps read the post before this!

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.

She don't care

But I don't care what they say

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!!!

Be happy! School is almost over! Only 46 more days!

OK, I'm done now. There's no more stuff to write. Oh wait! There is! So Leah and Jennifer both have the same pencil case, only Leah's is pink and Jennifer's is blue! So before Hawktime, I switched them!!! So during Hawktime Jennifer came in and she's like, "Where's mine?!" And I'm like, "Leah has it!" So then later Leah's like, "You're dead to me!!!" And it was sooooooo funny!!! Anyway, bye now!!!

RAISA!!!
