Hey!

It has been forever since I last blogged and I kind of feel bad about it but nobody reads this so I guess it is alright. I mean I have been busy lately with the life. (Theatre and school) and I got into a car accident like two days ago. Yeah that's me for you! Maybe I'll come up with something for this.

Drivers Education

Alright!!! I finally passed my drivers ed class!!! (Not that I took it more than once.) The class wasn’t too bad just boring. I did have friends and made some new ones, which made it funner (yes funner). I did learn some new things and passed the test!!! So now that the class is done I still have to get my temps. *sigh* I kind of don’t want to drive because I know that I’m going to hit someone. I’m an insane driver I can’t even dive a golf cart!!! *tear* All. well maybe I’ll pass maybe I won’t but if I do drivers everywhere beware.


P.S. I would be the one driving in both pictures.

ΙΧΘΥΣ

My vacation has been AMAZING!!! (So far) The last day of school I have exams (that sucked) but after school some friends and I have a tradition of walking home and having pizza. (Yeah we walk and eat at the same time!!!) Then the next day (the 10th) we went to Major Magic’s (which is like Chuck E Cheese's) and that’s coolie. That’s normal but what is new is that I have been away to in Kentucky for the last few days. (June 10th- 13th) I was there for a Christian event called Ichthus (ΙΧΘΥΣ which is Greek for fish). It was SUPERMEGAAWESOME!!! It is a festival with more than 111 bands, 7 stages, and 111 acres. I got to see some of my favorite bands play and it was my first time seeing them LIVE in concert!!!

(Delirious?)

I saw Hawk Nelson, Family Force 5, Stellar Kart, Kutless, Skillet, Everyday Sunday, Sanctus Real, Israel Houghton and the New Breed, and Delirious? (All amazing bands and there was some I didn’t get to see). I got burnt to a crisp! But it was still awesome!!! I had some incredible experiences while I was there. I also got to hear some amazing speakers. They were Justin Lookadoo, Shane Claiborne, and Pete Hise. It was a very busy four day but they were fun. (Wow that's a LOT of pictures that were a BUTT to get up.)

Seniors

So today is the last day for the seniors. I’m happy that they are going on the do different things but of course I am sad to see them leave. I hope that I will get to see my graduating friends once again. I don’t think the realization of them leaving has hit me yet. To me it feels just like any other ordinary day. It doesn’t seem that I am going to be one year older as well. To all of class of 2009 CONGRATULATIONS!!!

That means exams are coming D:

GAO!!!

I am a robot dinosaur!!! (It's a joke between friends.) Another joke for other people YOU WILL BE A BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLY!!! I know it's random but that's me.

Finally!!!

YEAH!!! EXAMS ARE FINALLY OVER!!! No more studying until I'm tired! That also means that Creative Writing class if over too (that's kind of sad) I really liked this class. I wish that it was all year but then I wouldn't get to take other classes. All well this blog is still mine and I hope that I will continue to blog.

Writing

In Creative Writing class we were assigned to write a story (shocking I know.) I really have never written a story before. It was pretty interesting and difficult. I am not a very good writer especially when I have to have do create it in a certain time. It wasn’t too hard to come up with characters. The ending is the easiest thing for me to create and the begging is the hardest to make. I already knew what I wanted to happen at the end. It was hard to put it down on paper (that’s a new concept) and actually create the events to get to the end. For writing a story for the first time, I think that it was pretty good. I did like when we had other people editing the papers and getting comments. They catch the mistakes that I don’t (which there was a lot of errors.) I don’t like commenting on other peoples work (selfish?) No, it’s just that I kind of feel bad (I know that sounds dumb.) I’m afraid that if I mark something down that it will be wrong and then it will be my fault that they got it wrong.

Winter

Yay! It finally snowed! I love the snow because that means winter break is coming! No school and the holidays are coming up. I’m able to be with family and friends. I think that snow is fun. Having snowball fights and going sledding. It’s fun to get cold and then going inside to warm up with a cup of hot chocolate. Yum, I love hot chocolate because it is delicious. It is amazing when school is canceled or having a two hour delay by the snow and ice. I love ice sickles, they are so pretty. People have lights up on or in their houses. (They are so cool.) I love to just walk or drive around just looking at the lights.

Tests

I hate them with a passion! (Fine, I really don’t like them.) I know it is to show what we have learned but I’m just not very good at them. I am one of those people who can study for hours AND get to use a cheat sheet, yet still manage to fail. I don’t know how people get away without studying and pass with flying colors. I congratulate you people. I just wish that if I get many tests that I be given loads of homework. I know that sounds weird but I want to be able to look it up, know what went wrong, and fix it. Instead of playing a guessing game and when it’s the incorrect answer not know what I did wrong. I wish that there were some way that I could do better.

The Definition of Manliness

Captain Falcon's epic manliness burns with a passion,

and he is also the epitome of Super Smash Bros. fashion.

He possesses unparalleled skills,
which he uses to crush his opponents wills.

If you are in the air,
you should beware.

For if you are in his view,
he will latch onto you,
and then you will be through,
as he shouts "Yes!" and bids you adieu.

Those who are faced against his mighty knee,
cower with fear and flee.

The Falcon Punch is a move to revere,
for it will make you disappear,
and everyone will hear,
the crowd cheer,
as the stage is clear.

Captain Falcon also loves to flaunt,
by ridiculing you with his "Show me your moves!" taunt.

His greatness you cannot refuse,
for he will then use his shoes,
to give you more then a bruise,and you shall surely lose.

*Note: This was made by my brother.

Theatre

Throughout life there are many choices you can take or not. (Yes, yes I know more things about choices.) One of the most rewarding experiences that I have done is theatre. Whether you are an actor/actress or a theatre technician it doesn't matter. You meet so many people and have fun (most of the time). Both positions in theatre take LOT’S of time and they both work very hard at what they do. I have been a theatre technician or “techie” ever since I joined theatre. I have met a variety of people who have all been amazing. I thank all of them who have worked with me. You have made this experience incredible. If you are thinking about doing theatre then DO IT!!! Try and join, and if you don’t make it the first time all well try again. Don’t just sit around wishing you could be in something like that.

... We'll Choose Whatever Path We Want, Without Any Regrets...

Many people live by quotes or sayings. There are so many out there it is hard to decide which one I live by the most. I would have to say the quote “... We'll choose whatever path we want, without any regrets...” by Edgar Roni Figaro is the saying I live by most of the time. Everyone chooses different courses; some are good and some are not so good. Everyone makes mistakes we are not perfect. I try to live without regrets because what is done has been done and there is nothing that I can do to change that. I have made many mistakes (and I still will) but I continue to live. If I were to be sorry for all the things I have committed then I would be depressed. Make the most out of life and live life to the fullest.

Sunset

Sitting on the beach
As the sun goes down and down
The moon coming up

Scenery changes colors
Starts begin to rise
A beautiful site

Broken Heart

Broken Heart
Sitting there alone
Our own little atmosphere
Fixated blankly
Unknown to what will happen
Your words begin to sink in

What did I do wrong
As you stab the dagger in
My traumatized heart
I would say I was sorry
For bleeding on you clean clothes

A Verziolus

Verziolus
This is a Verziolus
It lives in velds, vents, villas, and villages
A Verziolus eats vinegar, vegetables, veterans, and vitamins
It likes voting, volunteering, venturing, and vandalizing
He vaulted into school
And was violent to my valuable viola

Your Muffins

I have eaten
The muffins
That were on the counter
The ones
You were probably
Reserving
For fiends

Forgive me
They were so yummy
So delectable
And so scrumptious

Sense Poem

Zoo
I see a zebra
It tastes like cookies and cream
It smells like flowers
It sounds like a cow
It feels like velvet

Hello!

This is going to be interesting, I am making this blog because of a class. Most people in the class are very thrilled to start their very own blog. I am excited to make my own blog but I am also not. I do like to write, but I am not very excited because I don’t like to share my work with other people. I don’t think that I am a very good writer. Usually when I write I never get to finish it. I don’t get to because I get distracted and forget about it, I think that my work is junk and throw it away, or something else like that. I am kind of nervous to share what I write on this blog because people most likely will read this. (I’ll live though.) I hope that the people that decide read this blog like the things I create.
