3rd Rock From The Sun

I think if I wanted to make a TV show into a movie, I'd make third rock from the sun. I think all the characters except Tommy could play their part, because Tommy is too old now. So, I'd cast Michael Cera as Tommy. I know they are really different, but Michael Cera plays a good awkward teenager, and that's what Tommy is. The rest of the characters aren't replacable. The plot would basically be about them being aliens and thinking they're going to get found out. It would definitly not be serious. I think they'd have to eventually go through the decision whether or not to go back to their home planet or not. and that's what the ending would be.

You know what I'm looking forward to!!

May 17th!! I am soo excited to graduate, and then go to college. Most people probably are worried about sharing bathrooms with a ton of people, but I'm not. I'm actually excited. I only have one bathroom in my house. Every time I take a shower, I hear this knock on the door, and my mom comes barging in. Now, if someone wants to use the bathroom when I'm taking a shower, they can just use a stall!!! And if I'm going to the bathroom, and someone else has to pee, they can just use the stall next to mine! They won't just stand outside the bathroom and be like Ashley! I'm gonna pee my pants, hurry up!

I'm also excited about not having to tell my parents about every little thing I do. I'm excited to have my own computer, and my own desk. I only have to share a TV with one other person, who will probably not watch the news constantly.

I'm also excited to meet new people. People at olympia are great and all, but I want to meet a greater variety of people. There also is a place in Charleston where you can buy costumes, and on halloween, I want to see if they have a lion costume.

Top Ten Best Smells

10. The exam room at work right after it has been cleaned.

At work, it seems like everything always smells of dog, or worse, dog poop. Whenever I go into the exam room to clean up when the day is done, I enjoy the smell of the odor eaters and the floor cleaners working together and creating a joyful cleanly smell.

9. Coconut

I love the smell of coconut because it reminds me of the beach.

8. Baking Cookies

I love the smell of cookies baking, especially in the winter when it is really cold and nasty. The smell of cookies seems to just warm the entire house.

7. Pancakes

Every once in a while, we have a rare morning where my parents bake pancakes. I love waking up to the smell of pancakes in the morning.

6. Lilacs
In the spring time, the lilacs bloom every year. I love the smell because it fills the entire yard. If we have the windows open, we can smell them from inside.

5.The inside of my jewelry box
yeah, I know it sounds weird, but read on. It used to belong to my grandmother, who died about eight years ago. Somehow, it still smells like her perfume.

4. Horses

I used to go horseback riding every once in a while, and I loved it. Unfortunatly, neither me or my family has enough money to pay for me to ride all the time, so I haven't gone in years. I still love to smell the horse farms near my house as I drive by.

3. Black Raspberry Pie

In the summer, we pick black raspberries. They are different than black berries. They have less seeds, and they taste better. Anyways, my sister is really good at baking pie, and not only did it smell got, it tastes wonderful.

2. Potato Soup

In the winter, my mom makes a potato soup recipe she got from my grandmother before she died. It is the best potato soup in the world. Just the smell makes me drool.

1. My most favorite smell: The First time you open your window in spring

I seriously wish you could bottle this stuff, but you truly cannot. I think the smell of springtime, is like a finaly release from winter. The air seems to be telling you that winter is over and life won't be so hard anymore.

My life be a MOOVIE

I would be cast as Kat Dennings. My dad would be cast as Ron Howard. My mom would be Debra Jo Rupp. My sister would be Claire Danes. My brother would be Emile Hirsh.


the plot:


Something involving a lot of cats.
I have 11 of them....

I think there would be alot of litte short stories in it about me working at the animal hospital. Then some band stories, so I would need some more actors to play everybody in band. And then even more for next year because I'll be at Eastern.

There would be interesting conflicts involving my brother because he gets in trouble a lot.

And then about me going to my sister's wedding.

It's hard to write a movie about my life when I'm only 17...

Men

hmmm. I think if I were to meet the perfect guy, I think he would either be Egyptian or Indian. If he is Indian, I want him to be Hindu because I find the religion fastinating. He wouldn't be fat, though I'd allow lack of a six pack. The way he gets in shape has to be through hard work. Maybe he works on a farm or something. I think his name would be Maniram which means Jewel of a Person. He would definitly be taller than me. He would be very good at working with all animals and we would have a lot of pets. He would also have an appreciation of literature. Of course his hair color would be black, and dark eyes. We would have to be able to make eachother laugh, and also have serious conversations about stuff.

A Letter of Apology

Dear Romeo,
I'm sorry I cut off your testicles. I just had to do it, it was for the greater good. Now, you'll be calmer, and live longer. I'll never have to worry about you getting into fights over girls late at night. Your brother will keep his eye, and your wrist is healing quite nicely. Oh my dear Romeo, you must understand, it is better this way, though I'm sorry I betrayed you. I kidnapped you on a rainy after noon. You were sleeping in the top floor of your apartment. You thought I was just inviting you inside for a cup of milk. I will never forget your betrayed look as your curled up in your cage and I left to find your brother.
Forgive me Romeo, it is all better now. We will no longer have kittens roaming our porch, but I am glad that you will live. Your brother will not attack you with his dagger like claws, and you will not attack him.

Your Loving Owner,

Ashley

A House's History

Two decades ago my parents lived in my house, because they're super old. I'm just kidding about the old part. but anyhow, these people with the last name , Serpet, lived in my house a long time ago, and it was a farm. The barn wasn't falling down. and, my house had TWO stories!! I bet it was really big and awesome. But now, I just have a really big attic and no second floor. We have these hedge apple trees that were used to keep cows in the pasture. THe old corale is still next to the barn, even though it is falling down. I bet they had a lot of horses, pigs, cows, and even chickens.

My Odd Habit

Whenever we went on car rides when I was younger, I happened to notice that fire hydrants weren't all red!!! I was so concerned with this, that I decided to try to figure out what percentage of fire hydrants were red, green, orange and yellow. There are A LOT of yellow firehydrants. I think most of them are green and yellow in washington. I never saw very many red ones. Every once in a while I saw green ones with yellow on top. I eventually gave up. I think it may have been impossible to find out, since usually we went to the same towns whenever we went anywhere. But yeah, I was really cool when I was younger, I counted fire hydrants.

I have the best job ever

I have the best job ever. I would hate to not do my job. I work at Noah's Ark Small Animal Hospital in Minier. I guess it does have its bad parts. A lot of the times just as I'm getting to really like a dog or a cat, it turns out it has some sort of cancer and ends up dying. Not always, though. There are also a lot of dogs I really like that are plenty healthy. I guess having dogs, especially the ones who are your friends, die a lot is the bad thing about my job. Everything else? I love it. In the summer, I let dogs out at 7 am everyday. It kind of sucked getting up at 6 in the morning during the summer, but once I got there I was happy. The dogs were always happy to see me, and there was usually a litter of kittens or puppies to feed. When you feed a litter of puppies, especially young ones, I find it is always best if you just sit them in your lap while you clean up their cage and fill their bowls.
I also watched surgeries that would save animals lives, or reveal how long they would live. I always thought it was pretty cool when the animals lives were saved. But when they couldn't be, it was always a pretty sad day.
I don't even mind having to clean up poop and puke. I guess it can get pretty gross sometimes, especially when they have something contagious, so you have to scrub and rescrub. More often than not, I really don't mind.
I like giving them baths too, because they're all pretty dumb so bathtubs and water scare them plenty and they act so dumb, it's cute.
I also get to learn about breeds of dogs. Mostly, I learn that their personality has to do with their owners. A lot of people don't train small dogs. So they tend to be bratty, so next time you get a small dog please train it not to bite. It is not fun when little dog trys to rip your hand off.
i could go on and on about how amazing my job is, but that would take forever.

Friday The Thirteenth

I already know that Fridaythe Thirteenth isn't really bad luck, but there are people who truly fear it. The fear has a name which is periskevidekatriaphobia. I also read that it isn't just Friday the thirteenth that is associated with bad luck, but fridays in general. Or so it used to be. Hey that's today.
uh I also read about soy products and how they are linked to thyroid problems and breast cancer. If someone has breast cancer, soy may promote the growth of tumors. Snopes response to this was that in some cases soy helps prevent cancer, or so it is believed. But there has also been several cases of people being effected negatively by soy. I expected soy to be entirely good for you and the story not to be true, but the truth of it is undecided. So, if you're a girl, don't eat too much soy. Here is the link if you want to read it: http://snopes.com/medical/toxins/soya.asp

Beloved Toy

When I was younger I collected a lot of toy horses. My very first toy horse was a regular brown horse I named Brownie. Since she was the oldest, she was the wisest. She knew where to get water, what to do when they herd was in danger, and anything the herd needed.
I remember playing with Brownie when I was watching The Lion King. My mom was taking a nap, and I was having play time. Brownie would gallop across the green carpet in the living room along with her herd. They would run as fast as they could away from the evil Hyenas and Scar who would jump out of the tv screen.

DEAR KIDDO...

Hello my child. I am your mother. I am awesome, like seriously. I understand that sometimes I don't seem awesome, but if you look past all the chaos you will see my awesomeness. I really hope that you are successful in life. I want you to do whatever you want. Whether you want to be a bar tender, or a lawyer. It is all up to you. If you do whatever you want, you will achieve the awesomeness that I have achieved. I also want you to feel free in your life. There is nothing worse than feeling like you're in a cage. If you want a spouse, find one that you can be happy with. Of course, not all marriages are entirely perfect. But if you choose to get married, don't just settle for someone you kindof like, you'll just feel trapped and unhappy. Don't over endulge in material things. You'll eventually understand that they don't really matter. Nobody really cares if you have fancy pancy phone or just a regular phone that is used for calling people. Of course, if you like something fancy pancy find a way to save for it and still have money left over for other things. Be careful when approaching strange dogs and don't drive too fast in the winter when there is ice on the road. You'll fly off the road, crash into a phone pole and die. Live life to the fullest, but just because life is short doesn't mean you should go around doing things that will easily kill you.

FEAR

I feared everything when I was little. I was extremely gullible and believed EVERYTHING my siblings told me. If they told me there was a big poisonous wolf spider in my hair, I would believe them. Or if I didn't believe them, they would pursuade me until I did and started to cry. I think that made me afraid of spiders for the longest time. I'm not afraid of them anymore though.

I was also afraid of the upstairs bathroom at Danvers. This was in fifth grade, so I was a little older. I remember thinking of that bathroom as a dungeon. A big metal thing hung on the ceiling, sometimes making a quiet ticking noise or banging noise. With the magnificent silence, every soun seemed amplified by 1000. Everytime I went to the bathroom, I tried to wash my hands afterwards but sometimes it was just too scary(Gross, I know) But when you're running, no, sprinting out of the bathroom to get rid of that murderous man hiding in the big metal thing that hung from the ceiling. Of course, it was always wise to go to the bathroom in groups.

What is the definition of a poem?

I'm not really sure how to explain what poem is. Sometimes they rhyme sometimes they don't. Sometimes they help you understand life, or get through life. Music is poetry, well the lyric are. A lot of people use music to get through life. Of course poems can be about love. They can be about a guy who loves a girl or vise versa. Sometimes they are just to convey a message. Sometimes just to tell people how they are feeling, or a lesson the author feels people should know. Sometimes poetry is purely entertainment. Sometimes people use it to vent. My cousin wrote a ton of really sad poems about her mom. Her mom is really cool so I don't know why she wrote them.
