"Sleeping Ugly" Pt. 2

This is part 2 of "Sleeping Ugly"

16 YEARS LATER………..
Rose was almost 17 when she opened the door singing a tune. But her parents saw her and made her close the door. “Why can’t I go outside!?” Rose asked. “If you stay out in sun too long, you’ll get wrinkles.” Said the queen, as she showed her daughter her wrinkles. “That doesn’t make any –.” But her parents were already out the door before she could finish what she was saying. “I sure hope I can go out -.” But she stopped. She felt a little funny so she decided to lie down.
The next morning was her birthday! Once she woke up, her body hurt all over. She tried to get up but her back was killing her. About 2 hours later, she got out of bed and looked in the mirror. Once she saw the reflection, she SCREAMED!
“What happened to me!?” she asked her parents. Her mother sighed and said, “Madelia put a spell on you that once you came of age, you would turn into an old hag. But now that no prince wants to marry you, you must be on the common man and work for you food and money. Here are peasant clothes, go get changed and come back down stairs.” So, she went up stairs, got changed, and came back down.
“Guards! Get this peasant woman out of MY SIGHT!!!” Shouted the king. ‘WE LOVE YOU!!!” said the king and queen together.
And so, Rose lived of the common people. What is the moral of the story? Who knows!The End…?

"Sleeping Ugly" Part 1

Ok, in 7th grade, we had to make up a story for a fairy tale and mix it around. I chose Sleeping Beauty and made my own story Sleeping Ugly...Here is part 1...

Once upon a time in a far away land, lived a king and queen. They had a daughter and they called her, “The Pretty Red Flower”, also known as Rose.
Now, when she was born, she was the most beautiful Caucasian baby throughout the land. Her three Fairy Godmothers came down and granted her three different spells on her.
The first one, Snap, said “My gift is the gift of Artwork and Talent.” The second one, Crackle, said “My gift is that her hair was as orange as fire.” The last Fairy, Pop, said “My gift to her is eyes as blue as the ocean.”
Then in a sudden BANG! The Wicked Witch of the West appeared and told the king and queen – “Wait! You’re in the wrong story!” said the king, madden by her savage approach. “Oh, sorry. I’ll get you my pretty and your little dog too!” said the Witch angrily. “We don’t have a dog.” Said the queen. “Well, um, I, um, I… WOLF THEY’RE ON TO US!!!” Said the Witch. “Let’s get out of here!!!” Said the wolf. But before the witch could get on the wolf and ride away to her own story, the real witch, Madelia, came out of thin air right in front of them. Before the wolf and witch could scream, the wolf was turned into a little puppy dog for the rest of his life and the witch was underneath a house before a blink of an eye. “There, that should take care of them! Now, where was I? Oh, yes.” Said Madelia. “I have a gift for your pretty little, Tulip.”
“Rose.” Said the queen.
“Whatever.” Said Madelia. “Now, your daughter, once she is of age of marriage, she will suddenly age until she looks like and old HAG! AHAHAHAHAHA!!!” She said with an evil laugh as she disappeared – “Hi, this is Madelia. I just want you to know that I am not evil at all. I am 25-years-old and am unmarried. I like walking on the beach and…” The movie stops at an instant.
“OH NO!!!” Shouted Madelia. “That wasn’t supposed to be on the fairy tale! Sorry! Now, where were we? Ah, here we are…” -And disappeared with a flash of smoke. But the smoke settled too early having shown Madelia walking slowly toward the door. “Ah, poopy!” She said and left the castle.

Performance at the basketball game gone crazy

OK, last night at the High School Basketball game, my baton team performed at the boys half time. Everything was going smoothly when after the second song was almost over, the music shuts off. At this point I was trying to get my tap shoes on and as soon as it happened, I looked over at one of my friends and then I said, "Oh crap!" (I didn't shout it...) So, we kept going with Dawn shouting out counts saying "5, 6, 7, 8!" and us trying to get the timing right, we did our "Peanut butter/Jelly" song and we were getting ready to do "Who Let the Dogs Out?" when the music comes back on. I was so relieved when it came on! So, we did that song and the "Ants" song was just fine until we got back on stage when the music shut off AGAIN! I was like, "Oh my gosh!" Then I was getting ready to shout 5, 6, 7, 8 when We started twirling and I was thinking OK...And so the show went on and we finished. Once we got into the practice room, Dawn told us that it wasn't her fault and it wasn't Jan's fault, it was the Boom box...If it gets over heated, it shuts off and that's what happened. She said if she knew that, she would have used the boom box that we practiced with.

Once I got in the car with my mom, I asked her if she liked it and she did. I then just realized I only dropped the baton 2 times that night...I performed at both the girl's and boy's basketball games. I had a blast doing it though.

"The Chef"

I made this poem today, it's called a Transformation Poem...Enjoy!

"The Chef"

Reaching for his tongs,
He takes this red,
Boiling figure
Out of the
Water

Steamy and
Fresh

He is laid on
A bed of lettuce
And served
With a
Side of
Butter.

Can you guess what the chef turned into?

"Desiderata" Poem

My grandma found this copy of the poem "Desiderata" made by Max Ehrmann. All copyright goes to him.

Desiderata

Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrenderbe on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons,
they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs;
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals;
and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantmentit is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.

Max Ehrmann, Desiderata, Copyright 1952.

Now, as I read the copy my gram had, I said, "All it means to live a happy and cheerful life while you are still on Earth." Enjoy!

HOLY CRUD! MY T.V. IS POSESSED!

Every time I'm watching T.V., it flips the channel without me touching it! It's crazy! When I'm laying in bed watching it, it changes and I have to get up to change it. Once I get back in bed and get all comfortable, it changes the channel 5 seconds later! GRRRR!

"Math poem"

We had to do this math poem...(I don't like math...Grr)

"Math Poem"

Math is like adding 1, 2, 3,
Like the square root of a house or tree.

Algebra and geometry are my favorite things,
Just like the circumference of a ring.

I know area, it's base times height,
When it comes to GCM, I get in a fight.

3.14 is pi not pie,
subtraction is hard! Says I.

Perimeter, angles, and division oh my!
Average is easy, I said with a sigh.

"One-Line Formula Poem"

I wrote this poem today...Here goes...

"One-Line Color Poem"

Roses as red as blood,
Bubbles, white as soap suds.

Orange as bright as the sun,
Golden are honey buns.

Violet as the night sky,
Silver bellied birds fly by and by.

Flushed pink are the girl's cheeks,
Yellow are birds beaks.

Radiant gray is in the clouds,
Blue as rain comes pouring down.

"I Wish"

I made this poem in Lit/English yesterday...It goes like this...

"I Wish"

I wish I was respected more,
As I walk out that dance room door.

I wish I had more money,
That would be as sweet as honey.

I wish I had a job I love,
I would be in heaven above!

I wish I had a car that works,
One that won't skid or jerk.

I wish I had more loving friends,
Friends till the very end!

Making stories up

You know what's really cool about making stories up? Well, you get told to have this here and have a topic of this and you get to writing saying this like, "Ya, that can go here and this could go there but it can come later..." And then you read it and think, "Did I really write that?" I know that happens with me a lot...And I think it's a lot of fun!

Chat rooms!

You know what's great about chat rooms? You can be a dork no one will care!

Friday the 13th Superstitious...CRAP

Ok, I know some people are superstitious, so I'll say this LOUD and CLEAR...IT'S NOT and I repeat NOT TRUE!!! I do have a funny story to tell though...

I was sitting in math right across from this guy I know and he starts saying things like, "Once I get home, I'm going to walk under a ladder, I'm going to break some windows, and I'm going to kick a black cat..." I then added, "Well, why don't you spill some salt too?" And he says, "HA! I never thought of that!"

If you want to know were I got the "Salt" thing from was, of course, Cartoons...^_^

Restaurant's Ribs

I just saw this commercial that "Every person needs to eat our ribs before they die..." Then they say, "Because you never know what will happen next." Then the person that they show eating drops "dead". It just bugs me that they say, you need to eat our ribs or you'll die.

Scared at Jazz Band

Ok, I was going back to open the locked door so that everyone could get their instruments this morning. Well, I opened the door thinking that there were going to be kids wanting instruments, but to my horror, one of my friends and this other kid, don't know him, thought they could hide and next thing I knew, I was screaming my lungs out and then I couldn't stop laughing! I then sat down by the door I opened and almost started crying! Then EVERYONE was making fun of me because of that incident...I ask the people in jazz band if they heard that and they all stared laughing saying stuff like, "ya, first there was this big loud noise, like, someone saying 'HI!' and then we all heard a scream. After the scream, we knew what happened..." I wasn't too happy with my friend...-_-

A Quote That I Like

I have this quote I like, it's...

"How can you live your life...If no one's watching?"

This is true! You can never live your life because everyone is watching you no matter what!

Lit/English Topic Sentences

Ok, today in lit/English, we had to make a sentence to the phrase "Life is full of unexpected adventures." I came up with this story...

"Life is full of unexpected adventure. You can never know what will happen next like, you start off in an unexpected land, you turn a corner and there is a unicorn. It then takes you to a pot of gold where leprechauns live. The leprechaun come out and say 'You can't have our gold!'"

I didn't have much time to write this in class, so I had to hurry up and get the sentence done...hehe...*Sigh*...
