Check it out.

I was looking around a publisher's website and found this book that looked interesting. I clicked the link and it took me to the author's blog. She uses the same blogging site as us. You guys should really check her out.

Shall Thout Laugh Today??

I cam across these pictures of my nephew and they made me really laugh so I thought to myself hat just maybe they can make you laugh today. I hope you enjoy these: I know I ferrrrshurrre did!

This is interesting...

I have two interesting "notice its" for this week, and they both come from books I've read before. I figured, though, that many of you would enjoy them.

The first is from a book called Once Upon a Marigold by Jean Ferris. In this book there is a character that is always mixing up his idioms and saying, for instance, "put your shoulder to the grindstone and your nose to the wheel". There are many occurances and each mix up is more hilarious than the last.

The second is from a book entitled The Rumplestiltskin Problem by Vivian Vande Velde. This is a collection of six retellings of "Rumplestiltskin" and each of them begins with the words "Once upon a time..." but each one says something about how different the times are. One says "Once upon a time, before lipliner and eyelash curlers". They are very interesting and each has something to do with the changes the author made in the retelling.

I really miss having Creative Writing first thing in the morning. I hope everyone is having a good semester so far!

Post Creative Writing Work

Totally being creative writingful tonight. I just typed a new entry for my memoirs because today in band was way too funny to pass up. Now I’m going to write some more of my new fiction book. I do love it when teachers don’t give us homework. Smell the freedom (for a limited time only).

R.I.P.

J.D. Salinger has left us phonies... may he RIP.

An interesting story.

Ok, so Wednesday night i was walking my puppy Bax and he saw a squirrel and chased after it ( i mean, if we can chase after these things we must right?). Anyways, he ran and i fell on the ice. Not a big deal, he's done that before. Then, about a half hour after i got home i had a revelation as i was trying to read. My glasses were gone. Very long day today. My eyes are so bad i practically run into people without them and it felt so weird not being able to read the board and actually having to listen to the teachers. Usually i read it and move on. Regardless, it was interesting. I feel so bad for real blind people because it's hard for me to go a day. My mom and i went down looking by where i fell last night and couldn't find them and after some mass searching of my room i thought they were gone for good. They must be on the ground in some place waiting for someone to find them and wonder why a pair of glasses was laying on the ground covered in snow (which would actually be a very interesting notice-it...) Later tonight though, my dad went over to look and he returned about twenty-minutes later glasses with some ice still on them in tow. I never thought I'd be so happy to have my glasses. :D
