My last post + a short story = yay

Hello everyone, as the title says, this is my LAST post and you can imagine how disapointed I am. I really loved posting on here and I really hope it doesnt get deleted.Im moving so it would be hard for me to keep posting on here when Im at a different school. These meetings were always fun. Me and my friends always sat together and talked, it was fun. Wow this stinks, but lets not be all mopey, sapey,oh boohoo.  Im writing a short story! Yay, your all happy now right?...right? Oh what do I care?! Its my blog and my last day, Ill do what I want!(Mr.Mayo-"no you wont" me-"Aww, no fun" Mr.Mayo-"Your suposed to be posting good and nice little things on books and short stories." me-"Like I said no fun") The short story is just a little something because I ran out of books to write about, at least that you would be interested in. So dont be mean and say 'Oh this story stinks' because I dont want to hear it.Its a little something for Halloween so it might be interesting.

Holly walked along the streets filled with laughing kids her age and younger. She was 11 so this was her last trick-or-treating year. She was a vampiress this Halloween, every other time she was somthing more cheerful but she got bored of that. She wore a long dragging black dress and a blood red cape. She put on fake teeth and used a blood capsule that was supposedly to taste like cherry but it tasted more like bleach.Her candy bag was getting near full but she had several more houses to go.   

She noticed a houes she hadnt seen before, and nobody was trick-or-treating at it even though the porch lights were on. Holly aproached it slowly looking around the yard cautiously. She saw the lawn was grey and dead, and the house looked unused. She raised her finger to the doorbell but the door opened before she could touch it. There was nobody there. The wind blew through the door way, almost like to push her in. She took a few steps and before she knew it she was inside the house. The door slammed behing her bringing her to reality. She spun around and tried to open the door but the handle came off and rolled into a corner. She franticaly pounded on the door. She was stuck there till  someone comes to find her.

She found a candle and a match she lit it and it seemed as the  whole room lit up, revealing in the corner a giant bat. It was the same size as Holly and for a bat thats pretty big (put yourself in her place, a bat about 4'8 standing only ten feet from you. Hey it would be kinda cool if you werent alone and traped in a house that looked as though a thousand people died there.) She stepped back slowly not wanting to wake it. She remembered she was trapped in there so it looked like she was stuck with it. There was a light coming from behind a closed door, there were also voices and music. "Maybe someone can help me out of here" Holly said to herslef. She opened the door and stepped into a room lit by candels. The room was huge and there was a strange music playing. There were people dancing, but the peolpe didnt look normal. They were taller then normal and very pale. They were all dressed in black and red. There was a stentch in the room she couldnt identify, but it smelled like blood. "wait a minute, oh crud." Holly said aloud. All the people in the room stopped what they were doing and turned to Holly. They all were expresionless but Holly could tell what they were thinking. Then they started to come closer. Holly let out a scream that all the surounding houses could hear. But they didnt care.

Little Jimmy finds Holly's body, little Jimmy starts to run, Little Jimmy sees a shadow, little Jimmy lets out a cry, little Jimmy has to die, little Jimmy is just like Holly, little Jimmy passed away.

Wow...I think that I did a pretty ok job, the poem at the end is what scared me. Happy Halloween and goodbye, I shall miss you. Ok Im going to ignore that comment about "we wont miss you'. But I know you will surely miss my sarcasm and short stories. Haha, sarcasm, short stories...sorry. Ok I have to go and never return (maybe I can see if I can come back sometime)

Dont forget me, always miss me, holding fast to what we lost, trying hard to grasp that its really gone, Hard to know that its not to return, but always remember Im still alive to say I was here.(Made that up, haha I know its cheesey)

Bored bored bored bored...wait I have an idea!

Hello people!I'm back (I was back a couple of weeks ago to) Today I have to show you this really cool site that has short stories and quizes for you to read and take. Some of the people who right on there are really good at it, their stories are real good. I took some of the quizes myself and they were fun, I have also read some of the stories. This site is quizilla.com. If I had the link I would give it to you but I dont so instead of being lazy, just type the site in. I have not been reading much lately...no I'm not sick I have just been busy with a whole lot of stuff so my mind has not been working. My train of thought ran into a tree, my brain had a meltdown, my mind trailed off and disapeared.(NO THIS DOESN"T HAPPEN OFTEN!) I know I know, next time I am here I will wright more, but for now you can go see some other blog like the movie section (done by my friend).

well, thats it for now. Have fun with those quizes

I'm Back!

Hello again, I know I know it has been too long but don't worry about that because I'm here now, as well as my friends on the movie page and (I think she changed it's title) the dinosour page. Also a new page Why? Anyways, I bet you missed my sarcasm and reviews (no coments, let me believe you did). Over the summer I read like crazy, mostly because I took a trip to Missouri. Even though reading books on a car trip can make you sick, I took some asprin. This year for 7th grade I have a new English teacher, Mrs.Baker. Some people who just met her would say she scares them or she is unusual for a teaher,but to those who have had known her for three weeks may say the same thing. Actualy she is my kind of teacher, she is funny, imaginative, and cool. She loves Fiction books like Beowolf and King Arthur. (She collects daggers to, you can tell just from that how she is)Mr.Mayo has been topped, Mrs.Baker is now the weirdest teacher in my book. Sorry Mr.Mayo, you have moved to second place. Oops, you didnt come here to hear me talk about my (weird) English teachers, but to hear about books (dont worry, I will always include my opinion and my remarks like usual. I'm not going to be like those other book pages you see everywhere else where they just say things about the "critics" opinion). Today I shall tell you a little secret (so much for secret, it's now all over the internet), the secret is that I am writing a book that I will send to a publisher, hopefuly it gets published. I can hear that "psh," but I will do my best and get that book published! I am not going to post it here because it will take too long to type both here and at home (my fingers cant handle that much). It is about a girl who loves to read (no not me, she is just partly based on me) her name is Gail. (that is my middle name, I told you she was only partly based on me)One day she is taken away by a mysterious man, she ends up in one of her favorite books, King Arthur and the Knights of the RoundTable.She is put in the place of a peasant and ends up saving.....well when its published I will tell you. There will be several books but I'm doing one for now. Well, like always, I am not going to spoil it, Im sorry but I cant. My manager wont allow it (not really, I dont have a manager) So I shall say goodbye for now.

yours till I graduate middle school

Hi people! I'm back! Sorry about leaving so soon last time. It was snowing and we had to leave early. But I am realy exited! Do you want to know why?... You don't!?! Well I am going to tell you anyway. This is my first time blogging at home! Well, enough about me. Let us talk about this weeks book. It is called "A House Called Awful end". It is about a young boy named Eddie Dickens. His parents get ill and have to send him away with Mad Uncle Jack & even Madder Aunt Maud. Aunt Maud has a stuffed stoat named... well Aunt Maud calls him one thing and Uncle Jack calls him another. So realy, it is very confusing. In this story there is an orphanage, a docter, a house, and a traveling actor. You have to read this book because I am not telling you any more. Except that There is a second book. Alright.. no begging, I know I wish I could right for hours on end to.

Lemony Snicket

     Hi there! Please forgive me for not posting for ages. Probably every post you go to is going to say the same apolige. Agravating that that is first thing you read. Enogh lingering chit chat.. I am here to tell you about the ever popular Lemony Snicket books. You have probably already read the series and seen the movie. But oh well, thats just to bad, waaa. For those people who have not this is a great starter to the books. I will not tell you the whole series, just a summary to the books. There are three chidren, The Baudelaire children. They have two parents, and they have an enormous fortune. But the problem is exactly the fortune. Thier house burns down in a misteriose fire. The fire was caused by a vilian as you probably guesed. And if not oh well. This vilian is named Count Olaf. All he wants is thier fortune. I will not tell you any more. You just have to read the books and watch the movie. Any ways my hands are tired. Huh..? You did noy just say oh well ... did you?

Poem day(dun, dun, dun)

Hey guys!  I know you guys are sooo exited to read the poems I got  from the contest. I have no short stories to post so instead I am going to post two poems that are realy great. The first is a poem that is from a friend of mine who had it published in a book! (What a quincidence huh?)Well here it goes.

Life

You may concider life a given gift or not, Life is a thing that is not bought,

Life is as delicate as a rose, Life comes and life goes,You should constantly respect life, It could go with the strike of a knife, Respect life now that it's here, Life might not be here the following year, Thankfully life is here today, Life deserves a hip,hip horray.  By Codie K.

The next poem is great, but I can't describe it. You just have to read it.

Theres a light upstairs, Keeping everyone awake, When someone went up there, It apeared to be a mistake, They rushed down stairs, Because it was it nothing, It was soon found out it was just a dream. Danielle K.

Well thats it for now.... What? You want to hear a joke? No...thats just to bad. Maybe next time.

Lou,Bob,George,Harry,Larry,and Samantha

Hello! I'm here to tell you a very funny story I made up (actually I had some help from my friend, It almost actually happened). It's about six squirrels living in a tree in one of my best friends back yard. OK, here it goes.

There are six squirrels living in one of my best friends back yard. Every morning she goes out and calls out,"Hi Lou, Bob ,George, Harry, Larry, and Samantha,". All of a sudden she is pelted with acorns. This almost always happens. One day she decided to fight back. She put on a helmit and a pillow. You probably think she has a spoon for a weapon. WRONG! She has a spoon and bubblegum. She goes out side and prepares herself. HI!!!!! She yelled. The squirrels come out ready for battle. SPLAT!My friend looks up and sees that she had stuck the squirrels to the fence with bublegum. She felt sorry for the squirrels, so she took them of the fence. Problem was that the bubblegum had stuck to their fur. Sad to say that the squirrels had to have a haircut. But other than that they lived in the backyard until vacation time. The end.

P.S.  Hey ,I'm hosting a contest. Sorry only Brandon Middle School students can send in. Well all you have to do is send a poem or a short story. Do this by December 10. Send it to Room 904(Mr Mayo's room). Thanks,see ya.

November 18, 2004
