'everest' collage

This story was about believing. It was about believing in yourself. About doing the impossible. About thinking before you act, but still acting even if people think AGAINST your opinion. It's about doing what you need to do, what you want to do. About being happy. Adios.

spiders or wasps? IT'S A GIVEN!!!

WASPS!!!!! Spiders FREAK me outttttttttttt. UGH.

Spiders make me wanna cry!! :[ Everytime I see one, I freak out... & they're somehow EVERYWHERE in my stupid house, even though my mom bug bombs. That's supposed to last, but nooooo.

Tarantulas are SCARY. If I trapped in a room full of spiders [which better never happen!!] I would probably die of fear. >.<

Erik Weihenmayer

Erik Weihenmayer is an inspiration. My logic here is that he proved to himself and others that just because he's blind doesn't mean he's disabled. He can still be a strong individual and he can do things that people WITH sight can do, & even some things that they CAN'T do. So stick that in your juicebox & suck it, haters! XD

internet safety

This post is purely about online safety. And hopefully, you're not being stupid like most teenagers... hopefully you're not posting pictures of you... -ahem- exposed self, or drinking, or tokin' up, or whatever you hooligans are up to these days. ;]

But if you are, then it's really too late to change it... Pictures [and everything else, for that matter], when posted on the internet, are there... Not just until you delete them, but until FOREVER. And typically, forever is a long time... unless you're talking about teenage relationships, but we're not are we? God, control your ADD and stay on topic...hehe... :]

But if you are one of the cool people that don't go out and puke every weekend and post it on Myspace or Facebook, then kudos to you. I'm one of those people that use online safety. And what else does this mean? It means don't give out your phone number over the internet. If you need to call someone and you don't know their number, ask someone who does. In real life. Otherwise don't bother because people can share phone numbers with people all over the world and before you know it, people from Japan are calling you to shoot the breeze. See for yourself. Go to 123people.com. Look up someone you know. You'll most likely find pictures of them, or their Facebook or Myspace link. You can find bunches of information about anyone you want to. And you can find people's phone number's even if they've never posted to the net. It's those other losers that share their number... which, I admit I do it a lot... but ohh well!

Anyway, I hope this post was informative enough for you to follow along with. And practice online safety please! Or else you might die! O.O okay, maybe it's not that intense. But okay! BYEBYE!

happy halloween!

sooo ANYWAY, today it's like a dressup day for halloween & there's gunna be a costume contest at one point. i dressed up, but i doubt i'll be in the contest. like i really want people to be eyeing me up... :P

i just felt the need to say that. :D

yay! studying! for vocab test! ;]

FLASH CARDS! :D

this you GOTTA see!

This thing I found is awesome. I have NO idea where I found it, [I don't remember at all] but you can carve your own pumpkin & then when you click done, it'll put a virtual candle in it! :D It's awesome, & lotsa funn!

ENJOY,
MAKE YOUR OWN PUMPKIN

HAPPY HALLOWEEEN!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN.

Halloween is my favorite holiday because it seems like it's the only holiday that brings out happiness in my mom... she loves Halloween. I think it's because she likes scaring people... she decorates our house all out with my dad, inside & out, mostly out though. It scares my niece... but that's not saying much because she's scared by everything... I love her! :D

But I liked dressing up as something different then every day. I mean, you can't just get away with wearing a mask every day... People would make you take it off... Halloween gives people a chance to pretend to be someone different... a chance to really show people what they are... or aren't...

drive forever...

Another part of the blogging challenge this week is to say something or make up an imaginary holiday. Well... I'm going to have to think about this one because I'm really not in much of a creative mood, especially with Jed standing right behind me...

Hmm... but I'd have to say that my fantasy holiday would be just to go out and drive & never come back until I wanted to. I love to drive, & I'm pretty good at it, I think, & I just wanna be able to leave whenever I want... I want freedom...

dream vacation

So Mrs. Brogley gave us a good idea in class. That idea is to go on EXPEDIA for the blogging challenge this week. One part of the blogging challenge is to plan a dream vacation. So, I decided that I wanted to go to Australia. And since I know this probably won't happen anytime soon, I decided to go ALL OUT on this trip. Soooo... I decided that I will depart from a Green Bay airport on January 15th. This is a good day to go because I will have my license by then [December 29th is my road test!!!] so I'll be able to drive alone or with a friend! :D [& I am planning my trip for two 16-year-olds] Anyway, I decided that I'd come back that following Friday, which is the 22nd. It would take two days to get there, because as Kody pointed out, [cuz I'm not smart enough to figure it out on my own] I'd be crossing an international time line or something like that... soooo... yeah!

So now I had to find a hotel... let's see here... I found Medina Executive North Ryde to be a good choice. And the rates were $1735 per person. That's a LOT. The total price of this trip so far is $6938... Oh, how I wish I had that much money just laying around somewhere. ;]

So that's my dream vacation... of course, I'd have to bring extra money cuz I'm not just gonna sit at a hotel for a week, soo... yeah, hope you enjoyed reading!

i'm a BAD writer.

But for once, BAD doesn't mean bad. It means blog action day. And this years topic to discuss is climate change. But what is climate change?

Climate change is the change in our weather patterns that are occuring because of an incrase in the Earth's average temperature. We're losing the ozone layer. That's not good because the ozone layer protects us and our skin but we're still acting stupidly. It's like our world doesn't even care that we're slowly killing ourselves. Not that I'm really doing anything to stop it either. But still... I think everyone else should care so I don't have to. And no one else cares. So, what am I forced to do? I'll join the blogging challege & blog action day, Mrs. Brogley. So WHOO HOO! So the ozone layer is disappearing because we keep burning fossil fuels. And what are fossil fuels? They are coal, oil, & natural gas. And they are NON-RENEWABLE. That's a big clue right there that you shouldn't be using all of them up. So what the heck is everybody's problem?!?! It's not that hard to follow one simple rule, but I guess it is. And now, because of that, we're gonna kill all the polar bears!!!!!! AHHHH!!!

But why are the polar beats going byebye? Well, they could be extinct within 100 years if the climate change continues to melt the North Pole's ice. And guess what? This ice is supposed to be permenant? So why is it melting? Because WE KEEP BURNING OFF ALL THE WORLDS NON-RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES! Makes me wanna SCREAM. So I'm ranting in this blog for blog action day. So thanks for reading, before I go any further.

But how is this affecting us, and why should we care? Well, lemme ask you this: DO YOU WANNA DIE?!?!?! Not to sound mean, or weird, or like a creeper or anything. But seriously. We're gonna die. Or we're gonna get asthma. All of us. Because of the fossil fuel emissions that are killing the Earth and killing US. Because guess what, guys? WE LIVE ON EARTH. I know, I never would've guessed. I thought we lived like, on Pluto or something & we didn't have to worry about this. But we do. But it would be nice if we could stop this wouldn't it? Well... I don't really think we can stop this, but we can slow it down... -ish... You can put more clothes on if your cold instead of turning your heat on. But if you DO have the heat on like the sane people you are, then DON'T OPEN THE WINDOWS IF YOUR HOT, YOU FREAK! Shed a layer, or don't sleep with so many blankets on... Or like, get a fan to circulate the air. But don't open the window because that's just wasting the heat and wasting your parents money, & we already know how crappy the economy is these days... so stop it. You can use weather stripping around your doors. Don't ask me what that is, but you can ask your parents like the article told me to do & you'll figure it out eventually... And shrink wrap your windows so it keeps the heat in... Don't turn on the air conditioner in the summer unless you can't take the heat anymore & you're sweating bullets. And use public transportation, or just WALK.I know, that's a scary thought when we can drive now [at least most of us can] but come on, dude... Don't let your car idle because that releases extra unneeded crap into the air. And that's NOT good.

So I hope you take this into consideration. & you better have. Or I'll hunt you down... just kidding... I'll let the world take care of that for you...

WRITING

This week's blog challege is post an intrest in our blog & elaborate on why we're interested in it, & provide pictures & all that good stuff...

Anyway, I like to write. I like writing people's stories for them. The biggest reason I like reading is because it gives me the ability to say or do whatever I want and know that is was my fault. :]

So, I post a few things on this one awesome site, Protagonize.
Follow the link HERE to my profile there. I have one story posted [that I'm still working on at the moment] & also one poem.

Another cool site that you can go on for writers is Booksie. I haven't posted anything on there yet [I just recently joined] but I'm looking forward to it. :] Follow a link HERE.

summer. :]

my summer highlight was paying off  my library card. 

it was a $20 fine, & i was soo happy that the library had a thing where you could give them school supplies & it counted for a dollar off your fine. THEN, i discovered that i didn't know where my library card even was, so i got a new one. & now it's the new ugly blue ones, & i don't like it that much, but not i'm officially addicted to the library. :]

& i might even be getting a job at the library soon! :]
