*~Twilight~*

       I am going to see "Twilight" this weekend, and could not be more excited!! The sad thing is I don't really like the actor who is going to play Edward (Rob Pattinson). A lot of the girls at my school think that he is really cute and perfect for the role, but personally, I think his voice is monotone and he is not the way I imagined Edward. Nonetheless, I am still excited. It's also sad that I have not read the last book yet. I heard it was really good. I guess it does not matter though, because my sister already ruined the end for me. Oh well, all that matters now is the movie; I only hope it lives up to my expectations.

Newscast Project Experience

   In Computer's class, we had to do a newscast naything we wanted. I had the same group as I did for the Homecoming newsletter(Ana, Erin, and I), so it was fun. We did it on horses, because Ana knows a lot about them, since she owns one. Personally, I did not really know as much as I thought I did about horses. It was interesting, and I learned a lot. It was funny when we were filming thought, because we were having problems fitting everyone in front of the camera, and the background was cool (it was a picture of horses), but it was one of those backgrounds you add on Macs so it had green lotches when we moved. Altogether, we had a lot of fun, and it's sad I won't have this class next semester.   

The Things I Am Thankful For

Well, there is a lot to be thankful for so I made a list:

1. My family and friends, of course

2. That I get to go to private school

3. That Thanksgiving break is coming up

4. I was born into a Catholic family

5. Friday is tommorow

6. I get to got to my first concert in two weeks

7. That I have a big family

8. My one cat that is still alive

9. That I get to go to Florida this summer

10. That I might get to see "Twilight" this weekend 

Time is Ticking Up

Usually when I talk about when I was younger, I like to think about myself as a normal kid. It's funny though because last weekend I was watching a few movies from when I was younger. When we were younger, my sisters, my brother, and I would make movies with our friends. We took our acting seriously. My older sisters Mary and Stephanie were the masterminds behind the storylines of most of our films and directed us. Anyways, when I was looking back at these movies, it was interesting, because even though it was around the years 2001 or 2003, I noticed we have changed a lot over the past five years. One thing that really caught my attention was our fashion is much better now. At first after watching these videos, I was embarrassed, but now that I look back at it, it was really fun and at least I made some memories. It's sad how fast time goes by, and, sure, I may not have been a good actress or a "normal kid," but who wants to be normal anyways?

*My Creation*

If I could, I would invent a machine that could make any kind of food: desserts, meats, salads, anything. It would be able to make any quantity of food, and it can refill itself when it runs low on ingredients. Also, it would be able to tell you the ingredients and nutrition facts of the food it prepares. I think it would be a good invention, because some people do not have the time to prepare something or just simply do not have the time to learn how. Also, the nutrition facts and ingredients would be helpful in case anyone has allergies or are on a diet. Another reason why I would invent this machine is I would be able to make more and sell a lot, because you can never go wrong with food. 

Political Cartoon

Personally, I think we made the wrong decision in choosing Obama as president. Besides the fact that he supports gay marriage and abortion, he also has a program that I disagree with. This program I found to be best portrayed in this political cartoon. In it, as you can tell, people who work hard for their money have to pay taxes to pay for those who do not work at all. The idea of people having to earn money just to have it taken away and given to people who do not have to work is wrong. Besides if they get money for free, how will they or anyone else get any motivation to work?

5 Day Weekend!!!!

I am really excited, because this weekend we have five days off. Orginally we would have four days off, but since our soccor team won, we get off an extra day to go to the game. So far it's a really great weekend, and it's funny because it's not even a day into it. I guess what made it really fun is German club. It may sound boring, but it's actually a lot of fun. We bake a lot. Today my friend and I made pretzels, and she's a really good cook, so personally, I think ours were the best. To make it even better, I have almost no homework and a lot of thing to do. I am really excited for the rest of the weekend, I can only hope it will get better!!!

*~Blank Page~*

This picture inspires me because it reminds me of the fact that we write our own stories and they aren't written for us. Personally, I think its kind of a scary thought because if you're not happy how your life is, then you have no one to blame but yourself. However, it's good because your the one with the pen. Also just knowing your the one who makes the decision, can drive you to do your best because this is your life your writing. Once it's written, it can never be erased. A good thing though is you write the end. I guess what I'm trying to say is it reminds me of life and its many choices and how I am responsible for how my own turns out. Even though no one will probably ever write a real story about me, I will know the story and that's all that matters.

Scary Movie Podcast!

In my computers class, we had to make podcasts about our favorite scary movies. I personally do not really like scary movies, but I sometimes find them interesting. When we were first assigned this project I was stuck between "The Butterfly Effect" (which isn't very scary) and Disturbia (which I love!). In the end, however I chose "The Others," which unlike most scary movies has a lot more thought put into it and a better purpose than just to scare people; it had a message. Making the podcast was a lot of fun with the Macs, especially with such a good horror movie to base it on. We got a lot of sound effects to use and a selection jingles to choose from to create a scary vibe. I don't know if mine was the best, but I think it was good.
