Monday Morning

I had a good weekend  but now I'm really tired. I went to bed really late friday and saturday night and woke up early saturday and yesterday. I'm SOOOO tired. Friday night i went to my friends house in Pottstown. Saturday night Gage came over and we had a wet and wild night.

Gage has the perfect life. I wish guys wanted me the way they want him. ughh

Thanksgiving Break

I went to my grandmothers house in Delaware. I ate: Turkey, Stuffing, Green bean casserole, corn, rolls, cranberry sauce, gravy, mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie, and ice cream. It was AWESOME.

Love

There once was a boy who loved a girl. He couldn't stop thinking about her. The girls’ parents were against the relationship. The kids didn’t care. They just wanted to be together more than anything. Their plan was to run away and get married. Just one more year and they’d be legal. It was so close but yet so far. Soon the pair could live in happiness. All she needed to get by would be his love. If only the time could go past faster. That seemed like forever.

First Snow

The first snow flakes fall

Children laugh with excitement

I'm too cold to laugh

Button Description

The other day as I was walking down the street I noticed a small object lying on the ground. I walked over and picked it up. It was a three dimensional object in the shape of a circle. It was the beautiful color of light turquoise. The object had a few tiny black and green specks on it. On the bottom there was a tiny piece to put string through.  Around the edges it seemed to look like mountains. The edges went up and down all around it. In the center there were many tiny squares to make a scale – like texture.

Yesterday, as I walking down the street, I passed numerous people and began to wonder what their stories were. What were their lives like compared to mine? I thought it would be interesting to get inside just a few peoples heads to see what else was out there in the world.

  The first person I noticed was an older woman who looked like she had sadness in her eyes. Just looking at her you wouldn’t haven known that she was actually a betrayed lover. Although you could read the sadness on her face, you couldn’t have possibly just looked at her and know the reason for that sadness. I could oddly see the story clearly. She had once been in love a man. They spent every waking moment together and it felt like the love was mutual. One day she walked in on him and her best friend. Her best friend was man named Mike.

  

The second person I saw was obviously a drunk. The man was already indisposed at 2:00 in the afternoon. I wondered the reasoning behind. I don’t think he woke up one and thought, “ I want to become a drunk”.  Then I saw his story clearly. He had been in the war and shortly after he got home his house caught on fire. He lost his wife and two children and now drinks his life away to, what he thinks, forget his problems.

   

The next person I saw was a choirboy named Elliott. He was rushing around and looked very suspicious. His story was quite unique. Although he was only 17 he was having a secret affair with the pastors wife. No one knew. Not even his best friend Alex.

     The final person was an abusive bully. He was about 12 years old. He beat up everyone in school who even gave him a odd look. No one knew that the reason this boy, Erik, was so aggressive was because of the way he was raised. His father beat him regularly so Erik just figured that was the way of letting out his anger.

Sick and Tired

I've been out of school for a while so I don't have the color thingy done yet, therefore I can't right a haiku. So I'll just write about how stressed I am because I have SO much stuff to make up. freaking mono sucks. I fell asleep at 2 a.m. last night and woke up at 4:30 a.m. and couldn't get back to sleep. I'm soooo tired. Plus it doesn't help that the mono makes me tired. And my mom was being a word I can't write on here and made me get up. Ughhh. 

Sickkk =(

I've had mono for like 3 weeks now and I still have it. It sucks. I'm tired ALL of the time and I actually had to wake up this morning and I'm not happy about it. At least I get to go home at like 10 so I can sleep. Yayyy. I'm very excited for that. I better be fully recovered by my birthday next week or i'll be VERY mad. I have no clue how I got sick which is even more annoying. 

Frost

When I look out my window in the morning and see frost, I already know I'm mostly going to start out having a bad day. I hate the cold and frost is a symbol of it. I already feel sick and as I stepped out my front door this morning, I had a wave of chills go down my body. I could feel the goosebumps on my arms. All I wanted to do was run back inside, jump in my warm, fuzzy bed, and SLEEP. But, of course I had to keep walking to the bus stop and wait. I lovee when the bus finally gets to the stop on cold days. The heating is usually on, so it's like a wave of heat, which also gives me quick goosebumps. By the time I get to school I'm comfortable on the bus and didn't  want to get up. So then I had to force myself up and go on into a cold school room. Ew. I HATE the cold.

Foggy Fall Morning

I don't really like when it's foggy in the morning. I feel like the bus is going to crash into everything in its path. Plus my bus drivers a little on the wild side. Also foggy mornings can be super creepy, like when your in the street and someone comes walking out of the fog towards you. It also makes the woods look ten times scarier than usual.

Favorite Restaurant

My favorite restaurant is Applebees. I like how they have a variety of food. The menu is arranged mostly by course. The appetizers, and then salads etc. They also have a weight watchers menu. The restaurant has old pictures and subjects around on the walls of old movie stars or movies. The menu describes its food as vividly as possible so that you know what you're ordering.

4 Dayy weekend

I'm sooo excited for the 4 day weekend. I'm going back to my old school Thursday through sunday for their homecoming game Friday and the dance Saturday. Most of the kids that graduated last year are coming home so I'm excited to see them too. I have to see my ex-boyfriend(ew) because he's coming home from PITT tomorrow. I think it's supposed to rain Friday so that might suck but whatever. But I'm excited for the dance because I just got my dress last Sunday and really like it.

Success

Success is achieving something that you've been working hard to accomplish. It takes a lot of different things to have success. Sometimes its strength or brainpower. There are many things people can define as success, for example a person with job that pays a lot, or person with low paying job that the person has always wanted to be.

Sleepless Night

Last night I watched CSI or SVU or something. Idk what it was called, but it was TRAUMATIZING. I had to sleep in my moms room and it took me a little while to fall asleep because I kept thinking someone was going to come in the room and get me. And then when I finally fall into a deep sleep, I hear my alarm go off. Joy. 

Crash

As I walk down the street, I am already in a bad mood. All I can concentrate on was how angry I am to be walking down a street in my soaking wet socks and shoes. SCREECH......CRASH! Smoke appeared and a tire rolled down the street. Fumes and smoke filled the air, something was obviously on fire. I ran ahead and found a blue delivery truck overturned with a blazing fire running all throughout it.. Broken glass, metal scraps, bread, and wine bottles were scattered upon the ground. The wine did not help; it contributed to the fire. I could taste the burning rubber. The truck, I realized, came from a local grocery store. Then someone yelled, “Call 911! There’s a man inside that truck!” He had a cut on his forehead and what looked like a broken arm. I started to run toward the truck. I yelled, “Can anyone hear me? Hello?”

“Ya, I need help. Get me out of this truck!” he shouted.

“What’s your name? I need to know your name.”

“It’s Chuck…Chuck Spenollie.” I heard the police and the ambulance sirens from down the street. Flashing lights blinking in the distance.

“They will get you out in just a second.” But then the sirens were getting farther and farther away and the lights were fading too. “Someone get that ambulance back here!” I screamed. Somebody nearby called 911 again.

“What…where are they going? They have to get me out of this truck!” he yelled with fear in his voice.

“Look Chuck, don’t worry. I’ll talk to you until they come and get you. Do you have any--“

“NO JUST GET ME OUT OF HERE!” The fire company arrived; half of them attacked the fire, the other half using the Jaws of Life to save Chuck. I kept Chuck calm, although I was scared out of my mind by the scene. They released Chuck; they pulled him out gently because of his injuries. The police kept the public out. I followed Chuck to the ambulance. "Don't worry Chuck, I'll be right with you. I won't leave until your at the hospital."I smiled at him. He smiled back.

"Thank you so much."

Rainy Friday

I don't mind rainy days on weekends or days we don't have school. It's nice to just lay around all day and watch movies with my friends, but I don't really when it rains on school days. First of all, I wake up and its still dark out so all I want to do is keep sleeping. Then I have to walk/run to the bus stop in the rain. By the time I get to school the floors are already wet enough to slip and fall on butt. Awesome. The perfect way to start a day.

Autumn

I didn't realize it was already fall. It's kind of depressing because it shows that summer is now truly over. I don't really like fall because its ends summer and also because it leads into winter. But it does have some good qualities about it. The leaves changing colors and falling to the ground can be pretty.

Walks on Water

Once there was a girl who loved the outdoors. She loved going on canoe trips and was very carefree in the water and in the rapids. When she had reached the age to go on bigger trips with her sisters, she went on a trip with bigger water and bigger rapids. The event that gave the girl her name was something they all remember.
They had stopped for lunch and she and one of her sisters were walking along the river. They came upon a small waterfall. Her sister loved the water as well and wanted to play in it. The girl agreed. They spotted a large rock in the middle of the water and wondered how they could get to it. Of course they knew they had to walk across the water. They were skeptical because if they fell they would go down the shelf, or small waterfall. She and her sister were young and not thinking and decided to go across. The current was strong but her sister got across safely. It was the girl’s turn and she started across the edge. The girl was smaller than her sister so it feels as if the current would knock her over. She was almost across when she slipped. She fell down the first little shelf and held on to a small rock for her life. Her sister quickly grabbed her hand and pulled her up. Out of fright and somehow, humor, the girls were screaming and laughing loudly.
Her other sisters, who couldn’t see the girls from where they were making lunch, heard the screams and rushed over. The oldest sister, who was responsible for the others, came running over first and was furious and wonders how they got to a rock in the middle of a strong current and just above a waterfall. The girl and her sister looked down as their soaking bodies and notice baby leeches all over them. They pick them off and wait for their sisters to help them. The oldest sister throws them a rope and the girl lets her sister go first. As her sister tries to grab a hold of the rope she almost falls into the water. Her sister gets across and so does she. The other sisters are very angry but they are just happy their sisters are all right. They name the girl, “Walks on Water” to symbolize the experience.
