Make a Difference Monday

What did you do Monday?

I went to school, came home, had a Popsicle (or two), went to bed and didn't get up until the next day. I didn't fall asleep until 10ish that night and I didn't do anything except lay in bed and moan. I did have a temp of 103, so you can't exactly blame me, can ya?

Anyway, at school, I was nice and didn't laugh at Lindsey when she got paint on herself. Granted, I might not have told her... No, JK, I did tell her, don't worry! And I did other nice stuff too. Like... uh... Okay, maybe I didn't do so well on my first Make a Difference Monday, but I tried!
I sure hope you did better than me!

One thing I DID do was draw pretty pictures, see?

Birthdays and Prom Dresses

So, I bet you read Lindsey's last post, about her birthday... which is in exactly one month!!! And, she is right, I have some ideas on what she could do for her party. 1) I like camping. 2) Anything but manis and pedis. 3) I will not go if we go to David's Bridal-- do you really trust me in $300 dresses? 4) We could spend the night in that one building in her townhouse center... the one where there are games and stuff... 5) We probably shouldn't go to a hotel, wouldn't we get kicked out? 6) Picnic parties were fun in the 80s, no offense. 7) We could dress up as old men and pretend to care about history. JK. 8) We could do that cookout idea, just not call it a cookout call it... Stuff-Our-Faces-Until-We're-Sick. 9) Don't do ice skating, that's MY party in November. 10) We could have a tea party and I could crash it! JK (again). 10-the-revised) We could go to Borders and drink hot cocoa and read books and stuff.

ANYWAY, today was a half day and Lindsey and I went to Sonic then to JCPenny's. She wanted to try on prom dresses. I did not. I walked away. She followed, moping. I sighed and said, "If you REALLY want to...". She tried one on. A blue sparkly homecoming dress. I laughed and took her picture:

Long time no post!

Well, life is quite unforgiving. Its been over a month since I have posted, lots of things have been going on. 1st: My Grandparents have been visiting, From the south. 2nd: Had A band Concert. 3rd: Just been busy!
Its been a long month! Juliet and I are starting to plan my birthday! In a month and a day, I shall be one year older. Ideas Include: 1.Laser Tag, 2. Going to David's Bridal and trying on dresses, 3. Camping with a few friends, 4. Staying the night at a hotel, 5. Pool Party, 6. Picnic Party, 7. Dress up party, 8. Cookout 9. Mani-Pedi's and Facials 10. Sleep over. Those are my Ideas. I'm sure Juliet has more Idea's, she always does. Well, post soon. ;)

Make a Difference Monday

Yes, folks, I know it is Tuesday. BUT, now you can think about this over the next week. It is something my mom started on her blog (Delicious As Pie) AND all you have to do is try not to be negative and do at least ONE nice thing for someone else. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy. Right? DO IT.
If you have ever dreamed about world peace, than start with this. Tell all your friends about it. As Amelia Earhart once said, "No kind action ever stops with itself. One kind action leads to another. Good example is followed. A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions, and the roots spring up and make new trees. The greatest work that kindness does to others is that it makes them kind themselves."
So start next Monday, and who knows, maybe someday everyone will be doing this and that will make the world a better place.

It starts with a Monday.

Math, Math, Math

Yes, I am actually posting about math, Lindsey. (u spelled your name wrong on your email, FYI) Well, we are doing quadratics, which are actually kinda fun. Here are some of my math problems:

1. (x-3)(x+4)
2. (x+3)(x+5)
3. x(x+5)
4. (x-2)(x-6)
5. (x-3)(x+5)

They're quadratic equations. Don't ask me why I have to solve them or where that gets me in life, but, what the hey.
They are really easy, here: for the first one...
(x-3)(x+4)
first, you multiply x by x (for the fist x and the second x)= x to the power of 2
second, you multiply x by 4= 4x
third, you multiply -3 by the second x= -3x
next, you multilpy -3 by 4= -12
second to last, you add 4x + -3x or 4x - 3x= 1x either way
then you put them all together: x to the second power + 1x - 12
that is the answer, but we haven't learned how to actually solve for x yet, but I might be able to guess. don't expect me to put that on here though... cuz if it's wrong...

20 Plot Ideas for Stories

I was bored earlier and decided to make up some world as a story kinda thing. So, I Googled 'story plot ideas' and found this on Yahoo Answers:

'I have a list of 20 basic plots that you can expand on and incorporate your own ideas into:
1. QUEST - the plot involves the Protagonist's search for a person, place or thing, tangible or intangible (but must be quantifiable, so think of this as a noun; i.e., immortality).
2. ADVENTURE - this plot involves the Protagonist going in search of their fortune, and since fortune is never found at home, the Protagonist goes to search for it somewhere over the rainbow.
3. PURSUIT - this plot literally involves hide-and-seek, one person chasing another.
4. RESCUE - this plot involves the Protagonist searching for someone or something, usually consisting of three main characters - the Protagonist, the Victim & the Antagonist.
5. ESCAPE - plot involves a Protagonist confined against their will who wants to escape (does not include some one trying to escape their personal demons).
6. REVENGE - retaliation by Protagonist or Antagonist against the other for real or imagined injury.
7. THE RIDDLE - plot involves the Protagonist's search for clues to find the hidden meaning of something in question that is deliberately enigmatic or ambiguous.
8. RIVALRY - plot involves Protagonist competing for same object or goal as another person (their rival).
9. UNDERDOG - plot involves a Protagonist competing for an object or goal that is at a great disadvantage and is faced with overwhelming odds.
10. TEMPTATION - plot involves a Protagonist that for one reason or another is induced or persuaded to do something that is unwise, wrong or immoral.
11. METAMORPHOSIS - this plot involves the physical characteristics of the Protagonist actually changing from one form to another (reflecting their inner psychological identity).
12. TRANSFORMATION - plot involves the process of change in the Protagonist as they journey through a stage of life that moves them from one significant character state to another.
13. MATURATION - plot involves the Protagonist facing a problem that is part of growing up, and from dealing with it, emerging into a state of adulthood (going from innocence to experience).
14. LOVE - plot involves the Protagonist overcoming the obstacles to love that keeps them from consummating (engaging in) true love.
15. FORBIDDEN LOVE - plot involves Protagonist(s) overcoming obstacles created by social mores and taboos to consummate their relationship (and sometimes finding it at too high a price to live with).
16. SACRIFICE - plot involves the Protagonist taking action(s) that is motivated by a higher purpose (concept) such as love, honor, charity or for the sake of humanity.
17. DISCOVERY - plot that is the most character-centered of all, involves the Protagonist having to overcome an upheavel(s) in their life, and thereby discovering something important (and buried) within them a better understanding of life (i.e., better appreciation of their life, a clearer purpose in their life, etc.)
18. WRETCHED EXCESS - plot involves a Protagonist who, either by choice or by accident, pushes the limits of acceptable behavior to the extreme and is forced to deal with the consequences (generally deals with the psychological decline of the character).
19. ASCENSION - rags-to-riches plot deals with the rise (success) of Protagonist due to a dominating character trait that helps them to succeed.
20. DECISION - riches-to-rags plot deals with the fall (destruction) of Protagonist due to dominating character trait that eventually destroys their success.

You can also try the two word test, where you just arbitrarily pick two words and somehow, an idea could evolve from that. eg. King Liver?
Somehow I got, a king must donate his liver to his only son so that he can remain heir to the throne, however, the liver contains something? that causes the doctors to scratch their heads in confusion and they realize that whatever the kings liver contains will kill everyone ... I got that from two words.

There will always be the
1. Man versus man.
2. Man versus nature.
3. Man versus self.
4. Man versus man’s work.
in writing.

Remember to include twists and turns, which I cannot help you with but steer clear of vampires, as they are ridiculously overdone.'

Two things:
1) What do you MEAN vampires are RIDICULOUSLY OVER DONE? That is just crazy.
2) I like those ideas and they helped a lot.
So, thanks whoever wrote that.

I Found Myself in Wonderland...

So, you've heard of that new movie, Alice in Wonderland? It is the new and improved version of Disney's original Alice in Wonderland. Here is what it is the easy way: Alice is proposed to and fell into Wonderland again. Alice finds Wonderland in a state of... what's the word... well, they are in need of desperate help. And Alice is apparently going to save them by slaying the Jabberwocky. Yay!

Post from school

Hi, I am at school. In science to be exact. I'll give you a little lesson about earthquakes, fact or fiction.
Fiction: California will fall of into the ocean
Fact: San Andres fault is a strike-slip fault, part of Cali. might be up near Canada though
Fiction: That a 10.5 Earthquake can happen.
Fact: There would have to be a fault that circles the earth!
Fiction: The golden gate bridge could colapse
Fact: It is strucurally sound, and would not collapse.
And now that I have finished my extra credit project I Can post a little more than just Fact or fiction. The Deepest humans have ever drilled is about 8 miles in to the crust. Ok, I want to get a little break from science, I'll tell you about my bucket list. I have plans for summer vaction. And I have a list of things I want to do:

These are a few of my favorite things

Ok, a while ago I gave a friend a list of my favorite things. It had a bunch of things on it. Like:
Favorite Color: Purple, Favorite Food: Pizza, Favorite Drink: Root Beer, Favorite Movie: Percy Jackson and the Olympians. Ya know, stuff like that. It even had my favorite utensil. Which by the way is a spork. Well, I hope by now you know about the Chilian Earthquake. They are saying it was 180 time worse then the haiti, but i won't have as much damage. Oh yes, I have a leaving question for you all: What does freedom mean to you? Its a great question, and would really help with my P.B.A. Bye!
