Caterer: Count Chocula
Band: the OHS jazz band
Where: Six Flags St. Louis, the St. Louis Zoo, Olympia, and my own house
What to Bring: swimsuit and towel, Presents for me.

What we'll do:
First we'll fly on a private jet to Six Flags. If you're afraid of flying you can walk. Then when we get there we'll go to our hotel and check in. There will be massages and hot tubs waiting for us.
We'll stay there for the night, then go to Six Flags. While we're there, we'll have the best time ever. We'll go to Hurricane Harbor one day and the Roller Coaster part the second.
So we've taken up three days. We only have 4 more.
On the fourth day we'll leave Six Flags and head over to the zoo. That will be fun, because the zoo keepers will let us feed the animals for them.
The 5th day we'll drive back to my house. We'll have a grand old time but stop at all the amusing places on the way. WHen we get to my house we'll stay there for a day and hang out. Then we'll go to olympia on the 6th day. By then everybody will be nutty on only a few hours of sleep and a lot of energy drinks. So when we get there we'll do whatever our hearts desire. Then finally on the 7th day, we'll go back to my house, open presents and eat cake and icecream.

A **STAR** is born.

If I was a star in a movie, I would SO be in an action movie. They're so exciting and everybody seems to always have fun in them. I would do my own stunts too, because stunts look like the best part. I would also be one of the good guys, or in this case, A good "girl." I would like to do one of the stunts that Arnold Schwarzenegger did in "Commando." He jumped out of an airplane!! That was the coolest scene I've ever watched!!
My co-star would definitly be Arnold Schwarzenegger or Mel Gibson. They're the best action actors ever. Well, before Arnold became governor of California.
I'd wear something awesome, like black pants and a black trenchcoat thing and I'd have a gun strapped to my ankle, a knife in my belt, a gun in my belt and a gun in my coat. I would also always have some silly string in my coat.
I would probably have my movie be in some place awesome, like California.

WHAT A FRIGHT!!!! =O

The scariest experience I've ever had was scary scary, not fun scary. Because when you're scared for the fun of it you know you won't get hurt for real, none of your friends get hurt.
There are a lot of scary things that have happened to me, but nothing REALLY scary. The time I got a brilliant idea to go on a bike ride in 100 degree weather, that was pretty scary. I got lost and my vision started going bad. I shouldn't have done that. It was stupid on my part.
another thing scary was when I almost broke my neck, my sister got accused of stealing, my brother drunk((that was more weird than scary, he was also 21 at the time so it was legal)), when my friends do something stupid while driving that shoulda killed them. Whenever my dad goes away, and says he'll be back in an hour, and comes back in three or four, that scares me. There has been a lot of scary things but nothing that sticks out more than the rest. I've never been much of a life threatening situation where I realized I was in one. Somethings I look back at and wonder why I didn't freak out or wasn't afraid, or how the heck I even survived.

OFFEND NOBODY!?!?!??!?!

I think that things should be censored, because of modesty. Like, if you told EVERYTHING Then there is nothing left to learn. Like a big discription of something in a rated X movie should be censored. But when it comes to Talking about other things like, words and stuff. Everybody should be able to say whatever they want. Like, I think that if someone is racist they should be allowed to say it. Like, let society punish them and try to sway their opinion. Like, everybody should be free to say whateva they want. Like, they do in movies people should be warned about language they use. like cuss words and stuff. so people can decide what they want to hear.

WEEK 2B NATURE vs NURTURE!!

It sort of depends on how you look at it. The way we act is affected greatly by "nurture" but of course, our physical appearance is genetics. Suppose we're talking about our personalities, who we are despite what we look like. I think that your upbringing and the way people treat you takes a lot of toll on your life. But you also have genetics that bring bad habits. Twins seperated at birth have been found to have the same exact habits and interests. but still, you can also be greatly affected by society and upbringing. So, I guess I'm saying, it's a mix of both. YOur parents and friends help make you who you are but their is still something inside you, your DNA, that makes you you.

MUST SEE! TEEE VEEE!!!

Okay. So if I were to write a sitcom, it would be something great, and spectacular! I'll have to include every spectacular event I can think of, such as a trip to the Chocolate factory or a party out on the street. and of course: every show needs a THEME SONG!

So the show starts out in a fantastic town called Danvers. Like the one near here. It's a small town, filled with a Gas Station called Tip Top, and a worn down school. Everybody there is fairly close in relationships and distance. Here we find a family, a normal family much like ours or yours. They call themselves the Cheese family. Why? because their last name is: cheese. They have a house made of wood. but the inside is very cold, it's refrigerated because every piece of furniture is made of cheese... except those in the bedroom. (they tried once, and sleeping on cheese proved to be very uncomfortable). The kids are very unhappy with their living quarters. They constantly fight and yell with their parents and plan on running away, but something always makes them come back home to the cheese house.

The Cheese Song:

Daddy wanted a house
that no one else would have
something unique to stand in a crowd

Mommy once said, she liked cheese
she could eat it everyday
or live in a house of cheese

and daddy knew what he should do
he started building and shipping
in truck loads of cheese
and there they made a cheese house
and daddy was pleased.

[camera zooms in on satisfied daddy staring at his cheese living room]

Gothic Garb

I think my favorite Halloween costume was when I was Peter Pan. I was about 5 or 6, but still it was awesome. My mom made it herself. It had green tights and a green tunic and a felt hat. Not to mention, I looked adorable in it. I think I won a first place at the Danvers Halloween costume competition or something.
One time my brother was this lady for Halloween. It was hilarious! I can't remember who he was though. But anyways. He wore a sports bra with balloons in it. My mom put temporary hair dye in his hair to make it white. He wore makeup too. It was funny.
Another year he was a Werewolf. It was when we had my old dog, Scooter. He had this big ol' scary mask. It was scary and the mouth was in a menacing growl (we still have this mask). Well, Scooter thought that Justin(my big brother) was an intruder. He would chase him around the yard, barking and growling. When he figured out that it was only Justin, it turned into a game. Scooter was a bassethound. He was pretty strong. He'd trip Justin and try to take him down. That was the year I was a witch, and my sister was Dolly Parton. I think it was the last time all three of us went trick-or-treating together. It hasn't been as fun since.

Grizzly Me

I would go to Yosemite, I do not now how to spell it. Wow I spelled it right. ANYWAYS. I would like to go there. It's like where I grew up, but better. It has real waterfalls and rivers and mountains. I have always wanted to see the mountains and live under a waterfall. I think I'd want to live with, whatever lived there. I'd stay away from big animals that would kill me, but foxes, deer or other animals like that would be okay.

I don't think it would change me much, but only to make me even closer to nature. It would be so much more peaceful and wonderful. I would never want to leave. I mean look at this picture. The waterfalls, the rainbows, the... happiness. I'm sure it has it's downs. Like, It's probably easy to fall off of cliffs or drown in rivers. Theres probably some dangerous animals. But, That's cool because that's part of it. Driving, walking across the roads, walking under tall buildings, or in them is just as dangerous, just you have more people to help you.

Making A Comeback...

I usually try to recover from setbacks. When I am afraid, I face my fears and find that there wasn't anything to fear at all. In marching band, my trombone didn't work right freshmen year. I felt dumb because I thought it was my fault it sounded bad. I tried my best to overcome it, but it never worked right. Finally during sectionals, Justina figured out that the spit valve, yes the spit valve was broken. So, we fixed just right and it worked better. I guess, the fact that I sounded bad through all of band camp sort of hurt my pride a little. I tried to make a comeback, and this year in marching band, and concert band I feel I have been doing much better. Next year, and the year after I plan to do better and better. This wasn't much of a setback, but I recovered from it. The trombone is my favorite instrument. That one looks kinda like mine, but newer and nicer. Mine is only like 5 years old.

I'm currently trying to recover from one set back, I have a B in Geometry and trying to work it up to an A. I have like a 93% and an A is a 94%. It is rather annoying, but I will reach my goal.

My Animal

I think that I closely resemble a bunny, a floppy eared bunny. First of all, I have hair kinda like that. It's floppy like their ears. I'm cute, I guess. My mom says I'm cute, anyways. But anyways, I kinda have a personality like a bunny. Bunnies can be really sweet and I can be really sweet. Bunnies can be really mean, and I can be really mean. I can be fun, and bunnies can be really fun. I can be boring and bunnies can be really boring. What else...

Rabbits are very skittish and secretive in the wild. I'm very skittish and secretive. Then, Rabbits can also be strong and carring, especialy when their families are in danger. I can be strong when it's necessary too. I'm pretty sure I'm smarter than a rabbit. Well, the rabbit in Winne the Pooh is really smart and I am too, so I'm like a rabbit.

CENTER OF THE EARTH...

The center of the earth is a new place to visit. It is untouched by all of mankind and kittens. The journey is long, but in the end worth it. Captain Herbert started the first journey to the center of the earth. He grew up in Texas, a farm boy and an orphan. Little did he know, he would one day be considered a genius among scientists, and a king among men.
It was January 9, 2005 when he rounded up a group of soldiers, to find out what was inside the Earth. For twenty-three days they traveled down into the earth. The strange scents amd sounds wafted upwards as their journey continued.
Finally, February 5, 2005 they reached the center. The ground wasn't hot and, it wasn't nessesarily cold either. It was perfect. A well traveled tunnel was ahead of them. It was perfectly rounded and there weren't any footprints, though the ground was well packed. They walked through the tunnel and saw an unbelievable sight. It was a perfect world. They were greated by children giggling and laughing. Green grass scattered accross hills and hills. The children didn't wear any shoes and the adults didn't either. The soldiers were asked to take off their shoes and follow them into their world. "We've been waiting for you," they said.
All the soldiers and faithful scholars followed them into the perfect world. Well, it is now the year 2007. Only one soldier returned. He told us of this perfect world deep inside the less perfect world, and begged the president to bring the United States down with him. They went down into the earth again with curiousity and carelessness. This time, the tunnel was blocked off and the perfect world was inpenitrable. The soldier threw his arms in the air. He yelled he screamed, and the people wouldn't believe him. But, one question still remains. What happened to the rest of the group. Why did just on soldier comeback?

UTOPIA

If I could create the perfect world, I would have music playing on the streets of all the cities. Every kind of music would be played. There wouldn't be any pollution or anger against each other. There would be acceptance. People would accept each other for who they are and walk among each other with very little modesty, enough modesty to wear clothing. People would no longer be obsessed with how they look in a mirror, everybody would be considered beautiful, no matter the shape, size or color. Jail wouldn't be needed because crimes against the community would cause extreme shame to one's heart.

about my school

I go to Olympia. I enjoy it here, I guess if I didn't go to school I wouldn't have any friends or know anything. So, I guess It's a good thing that I go here. Olympia doesn't really have a specific "dialect." Some of us are farther south, and I guess that could make a difference, but I haven't noticed. Everybody here really dresses however you want. You have the people that follow trends, you have people who just wear cloths they like, there are people that hate trends. Even though we have a small school, everybody is pretty diverse in the way they dress and think.

It's almost a tradition here, that whenever we have tenderloins for lunch, it is almost forbidden not to run to lunch. I guess it doesn't really matter how the tenderloins taste, of course they're always good, but if they weren't I'm sure we'd find something else to get excited about.

I don't really pay attention to the cliques. I guess it sort of average. You've got the nice people that everybody is friends with. There are jocks that are obsessed with sports and dating. There are band people. There are nerds, speech people. Nerds, band people, speech people, and nice people seem to interact well. Jocks and like people that are really into fashion, and obsessed with vanity are usually friends.

I've never really noticed a fight or anything between cliques. I don't like drama, so I try not to pay attention. Usually it's the cliques fighting inside themselves. It's hard to place stereotypes on so many different types of people. Even though we don't like to use stereotypes, it seems that they actual do fit for some people. Not all, of course.

The bad things are that the people you used to be friends with in grade school, are no longer your friends. The people that you spent 7 years learning and growing with, now won't give you the time of day.

One thing I like about Olympia is band. I love band. It's the best thing ever. It is ALWAYS fun. I play the trombone. Pepband, Marching band, jazz band, concert band... It's all indiscribable and the greatest thing that a student at Olympia could be involved.

A Special Meeting

I fI could meet anyone in the world, dead or alive, I would meet John Denver. John Denver died in a plane crash. Ironically, he sang 'leaving on a jet plane.' That isn't the point. John Denver was an environmentalist who truly cared about the environment. He was a tree hugger, a hippie out to sing about the Rocky Mountain High. John Denver was truly a great song writer. My father and I watched a Tribute to John Denver on PBS. It had several of his concerts compiled together, showing me what kind of singer and song writer he is.
