It's turkey day for those of the United States and Canada (possibly!) I had so much fun today :) Spent it at 2 houses, but could have gone to a third if i went with my dad, but now it's time for a sleepover! One of the few rare times that some of my cousins are allowed to sleep over at my house! :) So much fun! And tomorrow will be black Friday!!! I hope i won't get trampled!
Day with the family was weird... i was again freakishly tall! >.< AGAIN!!!! And i was compared with one person... and i guy didn't even want to stand up because he was scared that he would be shorter than me... but i danced to so many songs!! And it was just amazing! :) I hope everyone else had a nice Thanksgiving :)
This was pretty sort, but i'm about to do another one on my book reader's blog... so see ya!
Don't hate me... LOVE ME!! :)

Joy of reading outloud
You wanna know the joy of reading out loud? Well i'm going to tell you!
Well, first off i cannot say that all types of reading out louds are the same. THere are some situations that suck and some that are more bareable. It also depends on the person, but i'm just saying what i'm saying. I guess that can be it for my disclaimer note thingy. Feel free to skip over this part, but you probably didn't because it's AMAZING! <--- or you probably read it only because it had the word AMAZING in it twice. Yes, i was going to put once there, but then i realized i said it again!
The bad kind of reading out loud is when I have to read out loud to the class. I'm pretty sure that i project my voice pretty well... At least I feel that my voice is projected. Most of the time, I only read out loud in World studies. This class is two classrooms put together. Basically all the teachers do is take the wall in the middle down. Foldable walls?! What kind of invention is that?!?! Well believe it! THere are walls that fold. Whenever i read, I always worry about the fact that there might be students on the other side who cannot hear what i'm saying from my side. I mean, if it was only one classroom, I would be fine, but NO it had to be two classrooms put together! What kind of torture is that?!
Well another thing that can contribute to the badness of reading outloud is that I cannot read outloud. I tend to blend words together and then no one will be able to understand them. It's really quite annoying. I think that if i read slower, I would be more likely to get the words right, but i'm not the read slow kind of gal! I read at the pace i would normally read. THe pace that i use when reading in my mind. And boy, can i read fast in there! So, I stumble on the most simplist words, I also tend to repeat things over and over... So i end up sounding like a bumbling idiot!!
Plus, sometimes the words are very small! This does not help me keep my place in the story or piece of writing that i have to read. If teachers would like students to read outloud then why make the text so small that they cannot see straight! Have you had those? Those pieces of work that has really small print and you lose your place and end up switching lines and you read and then you reread the same line??? I've had that happen. It made me sound more like an idiot! I do not enjoy being an Idiot to the whole class! Believe me, I'm a smart person! :)
One good thing aobut reading outloud is that I can use funny voices. I only do this in the comfort f my own room or when i'm not at school. I would not want to use funny voices at school because i am such a quiet person. If i read with as much drama as i did at home, everyone would most likely be surprised! That's why i'm going to surprise everybody by auditioning for the school play my seniior year. I'm only going to if someone goes with me! And by someone i mean my friend!!! I'm making them do it! It's senior year, NO ONE can say anything then! And my cousins will have to suck it because they SUCK! (should not have said that... inappropriate, but so true!)
Another good thing about reading outloud is.... well i don't really have another thing that is good, at least not right now... That was the only thing that i could think of... WOW there are not many things that are good... If you think of any more feel free to tell me!
I had another post for this blog, but i don't think i ever finished it... Oh well, i'll see what i can do about it later, OK? but i can't promise anything... I may never ever finish it! I might as well forget about it now.....
Ok, I guess i'm done with this post... Time to go! I actually have a life... HAHAHAHAHAHA WHO AM I KIDDING??!?!?!?! I'm sitting here typing about the joys of reading out loud..... WHAT KIND OF LIFE IS THAT?!?!??! But i feel bad for some of the people that read my blog, they just wasted their time on something so irrelevant to anything else... just random thoughts.. and from a GIRL no less... THAT"S RIGHT! Girls can think! They know more things that make a sandwich! (which i'm told i fail at.... so i'm not a very good girl... oh well!) BY! <3
Don't hate me... LOVE me!!!

Grown-ups =destruction
Well, after reading Maximum Ride by James Patterson, I discovered that his point is pretty true. His point was... or rather Fang's and the Flock's point... was the that grow-ups ruin everything, especially the ones in the book.
First off, the grown-ups came up with they By-Half plan... This plan was to basically kill off half of the planet so that the wars, pollutions, and disease would stop. Only the strong and healthy people would live. Fang told people to start finding things that would make them useful, or else they are dead... VAMOS! BAM! ALAKAZAM! Dead as a door nail.... <---- never actually got that expression.... Someone explain? yes?
Well grown-ups do equal destruction, especially the scientific kind! We've all heard of the evil scientists out there who mutate DNA, test on animals, stuff like that... BTW how can they live with that?!?! Killing innocent people and animals. THey can say it's for the benefit of the people but i don't think so! WHat kind of benefits are there to killing another person!?!?!?! (well..... i guess it would be one less mouth to feed... but STILL not moral!) Why would adults want to kill other people?! or preform experiments on them?! THat's NOT ok!!!! Not in my mind... it may be ok in Sawyer's or some psycomaniac's mind, but NO WAY IS IT IN MINE!
Also, grown-ups have different priorities. They want to make things faster..... that's why they invented machines the take over people's jobs... THEY DON"T CARE that it's taking jobs away from hardworking americans! or other ians! They also care about money... They make other countries do their work (if you already can't tell... I'm talking about america the most) to other countries, like china, because it's cheaper there.... BUT THEY DON"T UNDERSTAND that they are causing children to work in sewat shops just so that they can have more money! What kind of logic is that? Killing people and making innocent children work (while they could be playing and going to school) is good? I THINK NOT!!! How would AMerica feel if we were china, that our children would have to work in sweat shops! That our leader didn't get an education because he was working in a sweatshop all day durring childhood?! America wouldn't be too happy would it?!?!?!?! (or there would be a dictator ruling our country because no one would have a mind to think and stop it!)
Also, Grown-ups are not smart. Stupid grown-ups causing global warming and don't know how to think! Companies are spending money to avoid being sued for causing more pollution, but NO! they cannot use that money to give people free lightbulbs? THe energysaving ones?!?! Or use the money to pay scientists... not the evil kinds, the enviornmental kind, that would develop more energy saving things. America should make laws that lightbulbs should be the energysaving ones (too lazy to put space between energysaving plus, i cannot spell the energy saving ones... so i'm putting energysaving ones instead). America can also make an energy saving week! That no one will have any power for a week, besides the natural sunlight! Maybe this should be in the summer, where the days are longest. THat would help! The factories wouldn't have to use more fossil fuels.
I don't want to write about this anymore... THere is so much more that I can say, but i'm not going to say it.... I'm going to play a game that Alan is playing! :)
Lesson: GLOBAL WARMING KILLS!!!!!
Who made global warming happen?: GROWN-UPS
So therefore?: GROWN-UPS KILLS!!!!!!!

Forever Night by you're truely! :) ME!!!!
This is the prologue to my book! :) I'm so proud that i'm continuing this book, unlike my other ones... The other ones only made it to like 3 pages at the most, with probably three chapters. This one is at 16 pages!!!!!! <---- AMAZING! and 6 chapters :) I don't know, the idea sort of came to me when i was sitting at the library last year. I was thinking of SOS (Some One Special in case you didn't know) and then i just thought of the prologue. This is NO WAY related to my life.I only have one guy in my life :) I also came up with the title when i was writing one of my poems. I named it forever night and i thought that was the perfect title for my book!!! well... i think i prolonged this enough so here it is!
Prologue
My heart beats rapidly as night started to take over. I turned around and there he was. I had no idea what to say. My mind was a complete blank. I can’t believe that it chose this moment to malfunction. James looked much more handsome than I last saw him. His hair had lightened due to the sun. He was beginning to tan and it looked good. It looked really really good.
I can’t believe that I am about to do this. My dream was coming true, but am I beginning to have doubts? I’ll have to leave everyone I love. Can I truly leave my long time boyfriend, Michael, for James? I have to admit that I felt a connection with James, but I have been with Michael for almost all of middle school and part of high school.
“Are you ready?” James asked in a very deep voice. It was deeper than usual. Was he sensing that I had doubts? This was no time to think about this now. I love James. I am ready to do this.
“Yes, I am ready,” I replied trying to hide my doubts. I stepped closer to him and stared into his eyes. I hope that he can tell that I’m ready. I am.
“Are you sure you want to do this? You will be giving up everyone you love. You will be giving up your friends, family, and even Michael,” James said. Did I detect a hint of jealousy when he said Michael’s name. I’m pretty sure that it was. That thought made me smile. I caught myself before it showed.
“Yes, I am ready. I love you James. Michael is the past and this is the present. You are my true love and I want to be with you forever,” as soon as I said that, I realized that it was true. I really do love James and I’m ready to give up my life for him. James walked closer. He pulled me into an embrace.
I was ready for this. There was no more time for doubts. James moved my brown hair aside so that he could have easier access to my neck. As James came closer I was struck with a sense of fear. I tried to push down my natural instincts. I need to distract myself so that James can finish. I wanted to join him. I needed to join him. It was my destiny.
I tried to distract myself. I tried to remember when we first meet, how this all started on that one day. The first day.
It looks so short on this post, but i promise! it's 1 whole page on microsoft word! (not double spaced and 12 point Times new roman font!)
Here is the poem that inspired the lovely title!!!!! Title of the poem is also Forever Nigh
There is nothing
Pure emptiness
Pure silent
No movement
Just darkness
Darkness everywhere
A trap
Once the sun shined here
When you were with me
But you’re gone...
And you took away the sun
And left me in darkness
In a state of
FOREVER NIGHT
Don't hate me... LOVE me!! :)
