I'm back from Guatemala and Belize now so I thought I would just put my journal entries up here for yall to read about my trip. Just beware that there is about to be a heck of a lot of posts :} Also I'm legit-ally just copying my journal but adding some pictures, and my journal is written in Spanglish in some parts, so you might not understand it all ^.^
6 o'clock
Alarm woke us up and we shut it off so we didn't have to hear it
6:30 -up and at 'em
We woke up, got read for the day. I make my bed way better than my roommate XD Like I can't stand wrinkles so there isn't any. She just kind of throws her blankets on the bed so it's sort of made but not to perfection. It bugs me for some reason, but MY BED IS MADE ^.^ (yes I'm bragging)
7:15- breakfast
It was really weird. We were left to eat alone and had corn flakes. The weird part was the milk for them had been warmed up! It wasn't bad but I prefer dry cereal. We also had yogurt and oatmeal. The yogurt was really runny, but yummy frescas yogurt.
8 o'clock -Escuela
Nosotros tuvemos escuela of course con Yolanda y yo got annoyed con el sol! Mostly we just chatted, well they did while I listened. We talked about a show Yolanda likes that has prostitutes in it and people buying people (sex slave trade dealio) We also talked about Tikal. Learned it would take a day to make the 45 minute plane ride, so I'm glad we are taking the plane. After break we played scrabble. I was awful at it!
I don't understand it anymore in Spanish than en ingles! I was doing two letter words "Si" "Pa" "De" "Di" that sorta thing until Yolanda helped me. My brain just isn't good at Scrabble. I mean I suck at words with friends XD The second game I did do better though ^.^ I used the word "Bano" so I'm pro now ;P
1 o'clock - Lunch
We had beef stew basically. There was beef and potatoes in it and we added rice. It was really good.
2 o'clock
We got all dressed up, had our umbrellas and jackets, ready to go up el volcan! We had an hour bus ride y una chica puked on the way there. The puke was running down the aisle. Es muy grosero. She ended up staying on the bus when we got there because she wasn't completely better. Nuestra maestra stayed with her since she's climbed the volcan before. We didn't even get off the bus antes de nosotros were attacked by lil kids trying to sell walking sticks to us. Rent a Stick ;P I didn't buy one, but they kept asking if I wanted to, saying I would need it (I didn't) I was going to stay with the main group, but after a few minutes of walking, my roommate had an asthma attack so I stayed with her. So did tres chicas y dos chaperones. One of the chaperones ended up riding up like two other chicas because she didn't feel good. The rest of our small group went up really slowly so my roommate could walk it. This boy went with us about half way up. Oh and our guide stayed with us... The boy was riding a horse who's baby followed the whole time. We got so many pictures. Well I forgo my camera was charging (glad I forgot it) and so I was taking pictures with Mariah's camera so she didn't have to worry about it. We got the filly "Lena" (yo pienso que nombre de ella) to eat from our hands. She really liked to lick our hands too, probably tasted salty or something. She was cuatro mes old; her madre tiene tres years. (can't say years in spanish on here because I won't have the accents and stuff so I would be saying butt). Eventually the guide told the boy to go away :c It was a sad time! He was adorable.
After like tres horas, nosotros finally made it to the top. It was maybe 5, 5:30, or even 6 at the time. I obviously don't know. I would've loved to keep going but it was getting dark and it started to rain. After a lot of pictures and taking some lava rocks, we booked it down the hill. It took a lot less time, but we were like soaking wet by the time we got down. Some perritos went down with us. A lot of us (not me) gave all their food to the dogs because they didn't get a lot. Then una chica gave her jacket to someone and money to some kids. All we heard after that was "Money for me?" as we walked to the bus. They obviously could use it, but I didn't give them any or I would be mobbed by the rest of them. That was the reason I didn't rent a stick ;P
On the way back, my roommate got sick. She had a bag so it didn't get everywhere at least. Now she's doped up on drugs for bus rides. We didn't get back by 8:30 for dinner, though Elena waited up for us. We weren't really hungry though...I hope it wasn't really rude of us >.<
I took a shower with ZERO water pressure, so it was just barely drizzling...Whatever though. Then we finished packing for the Tikal flight and went to bed.

Day 3- Tuesday July 31
I'm back from Guatemala and Belize now so I thought I would just put my journal entries up here for yall to read about my trip. Just beware that there is about to be a heck of a lot of posts :} Also I'm legit-ally just copying my journal but adding some pictures, and my journal is written in Spanglish in some parts, so you might not understand it all ^.^
6 o'clock- woke up...went back to sleep
6:30-up and at them.
7:15- ate pancakes with fruit! Papayas....couldn't decided if I liked them or not. They were really sweet and melony, but not like really solid.
8 o'clock- Escuela
I got asked preguntas, like to come up with sentences to go with ser y estar, y couldn't come up with any. My mind isn't like super working right now because I'm so tired...It just keeps going blank :\
1 o'clock
We had something delicious for lunch. As I'm writing this two days later and can't remember...yo pienso que lo es sopa de pollo again. I really can't remember much :\ Wish we had more free time so I would have a chance to write
1 o'clock- Mercado
At two they took us to the big mercado. It wasn't as bad. People weren't begging us to buy anything. I got a maraca, a box whate, a red bracelet, and four other bracelets (one for free). The whale is for me because it was just too kool not to buy.
4 o'clock- Salsa lessons!
There were two groups for it. My group es el primero. It's pretty simple and we got to dance with some guys. Pablo was one of them and he has all the girl's gushing about him. I admit, he is very guapo, but there isn't really any reason to gush after him. I got to dance with all three of the guys... The dance instructor handed me off to a guy who couldn't actually dance XD We were learning faster than him for the most part.
"Uno Dos Tres. Cinco Seis Siete" was our counting beat.
5 o'clock- Home/Market
Went home and got Mariah's money so she could buy stuff at the market and went back there. She had forgotten her money at home for when we went there the first time on accident and had really wanted to buy a dress at the mercado.
6:30ish -LOCKED IN
We were chilling in the market and the gates got locked because it was closing time. So we had to walk around the market and find the other half of our group which consisted of five girls, two chaperones, and myself. We found a gate, with a guard that had an AUTOMATIC RIFLE, to let us out once we were all back together. Then we went back home. Two of the girls in our group were fighting because one of them apparently had been taken advantage of by a vender lady while the other girl was supposed to stay with her.
7 o'clock-Dinner
We either had a stuffed breaded thingy or some steak thingy. I'm not sure which one XD
8 o'clock- Rainbow Cafe
We went to the Rainbow Cafe to chill and listen to some music. We waited almost the whole time for Mariah to get her drink that she had ordered...she never got it. The place was really cool looking and had good music. Tehre was a drummer and a guitarist/singer. The drummer (according to Maddy) was rather cute but not as cute as Pablo. I concurred :}
9:30- Ugh Late
We were supposed to be back by 9:30 but the drinks had just arrived for some and one of our teachers wanted us to leave as a group. Our german teacher that came as a chaperone on the trip ended up sorta walking us home and we were locked out! Lucky America heard us trying to get in or we would've had to wake everyone in the house up to let us in. That was the end of that day's adventure and we went to bed. Well.. I did while everyone else (Mariah) took forever to go to sleep :c She kept moving around and I just wanted to sleep. Eventually she stopped.
Everyone seemed really surprised by the amount of sarcasm they have been getting from me. I'm just that great of a person, I can't help but be myself here.
Tuesday is the day homesickness hit me. I really wanted to talk to Ethan... I mean a few days is way too much to be without my dose of Ethan's awesauce behavior and attitude. I miss talking to him so much :c
I also miss 'Merican toilets! We can't flush toilet paper here...Can't flush it because their pipes are so much smaller than ours are. If we were to flush toilet paper we would ruin the pipes and it would be really expensive to fix them apparently. I didn't want to find out how expensive it would be though so I didn't flush any toilet paper ;P
Some of the girl's skype people because they are willing to pay for their internet just for a short conversation with someone, but I think I can survive a week in isolation from back home. I mean, we expected it to be no contact at all, so why should we go out of our way to find a way to contact them? They don't expect us to contact them....
6 o'clock- woke up...went back to sleep
6:30-up and at them.

Day 2- Monday July 30
I'm back from Guatemala and Belize now so I thought I would just put my journal entries up here for yall to read about my trip. Just beware that there is about to be a heck of a lot of posts :} Also I'm legit-ally just copying my journal but adding some pictures, and my journal is written in Spanglish in some parts, so you might not understand it all ^.^
Wake up- 6:42
Alarm set for - 6:30
We got ready and everything
Breakfast -7:15
We ate with Elena. She made us scrambled eggs with tomatoes in it. It was really good. She also made jello! We had tea and pan to go with it.
Escuela- 8 o'clock
We walked to the school and then split into our nuevo clases. I'm with Blake y Lauren. Yolanda es nuestro maestro. We talked en espanol para cuatro horas!
Noon- leave escuela
Escuela was good, it really reminded me that yo pienso espanol. I understand what people are saying, but I find that I'm not talking back unless I'm addressed. It's just easier to listen. I mean I even did this en escuela back home, pero yo supposed to be practicando mi espanol... Well we actually got outta class early and so we -Blake, Lauren, y yo- went on a walk around the block. It was actually rather nice. Then we all met as a group in front of the school and waited around AGAIN for directions on when to be back and when we would be done with the tour. After that we headed out.
12:30- passports to bank
So we exchanged some money at the bank, but it's a total rip off so I don't plan on doing it again. Everywhere is taking US dollars anyway.
1 o'clock- Lunch
We had lunch with Dorita, Elena, Chirino?, y Melo?. It was a sopa de pollo broth with rice y veggies. REALLY good. There was pan y tortillas con this stir-fry of ground carne no se qui fui, y veggies. Tehre was also rice. Had water with that meal. Mariah talked like the whole time, not really eating... I'm worried about her, she is so picky...Sure we have a bunch of snack food, but she needs real food still! She's all "Maybe I'll lose a few pounds," but that is NOT BUENO! She needs to eat...no ifs ands or buts. We can't do anything about it but bug her between meals so she doesn't disrespect our host family. She claims that if she doesn't like something she starts to gag on it. I don't believe her though. It's the most ridiculous thing I have heard in a long time. After we were done eating we sat around and talked FOREVER AND EVA.
2 o'clock- Back at Escuela para tour
We had to wait around again but then we went on a tour. We went to the old capital, La Casa de Jade, Chocolate museum, market place, y central park. We were followed EVERYWHERE by street venders. No me gusta porque yo no quiero usar mi Anti-D's. They would get all up in your face "Pretty lady why you no buy" "I make for you" "Special price just for you" "Name your price" It was awful. I just wanted to scream at them to go away, or slap them... The old capital was a grogeous broken down building (Earthquake). The capital was moved to Guatemala City after a earthquake. We had to go through security to get in and then we were shown pictures of photokids 20 years. Something about Suenos. You see after the war (no se que war...probably their revolution war) Someone gave out cameras to get pictures taken of those who survived. They were sad and pretty pictures. Muchos suenos.
Got some good pictures at the Jade place. Got tons at the park. Probably all amazing, no se porque mi camera necisita arreglar! The park was GORGEOUS even with stupid freaking venders. I mean I understand they have to make moneh somehow, but still. So anyway, at the market I almost had a meltdown. I'm NOT GOOD CON PERSONAS! I did buy two keychains for like $5 or something. I don't know what I plan on getting for presents, just don't know. Everything is pretty here though.
After the tour we went back to la escuela y came up with a plan.
7 o'clock- Dinner
We basically just had leftovers. It was yummy though so I didn't care. My roomie didn't eat much again though :c She talked the dinner away! Dang can she talk. We also gave some gifts. They got a map and peanut butter. They thought the map was HUGE! It was a map of Iowa.
8 o'clock- PARK TIME
We went back to the park to chill. It was really pretty at night with lights and such. We again got pounced on by venders, but not as badly. "No Gracias" got said mucho. After checking the park out we went and got ice cream at some place. It was a Calastra Waffle (yo pienso) with queso y berries and vanilla ice cream and a caramel topping. After that we went home and to sleep. Me encanta dormir!

Day 1- Sunday July 29th
I'm back from Guatemala and Belize now so I thought I would just put my journal entries up here for yall to read about my trip. Just beware that there is about to be a heck of a lot of posts :} Also I'm legit-ally just copying my journal but adding some pictures in, and my journal is written in Spanglish in some parts, so you might not understand it all ^.^
On Sunday at midnight we were at the school, waiting to leave. we were supposed to be loading, but the bust wasn't there. The bus driver had thought we were leaving Monday at midnight. So he got there an hour later. Then he drove us to the Chicago airport and we were on our way. Our plane in Chicago was delayed, and after a two and a half hour flight we got to Miami with enough time to use the bathroom before we were on our way again. Once we got to Guatemala we went through customs and a few people lost there luggage before we headed out. We went to school, got some delicious guacamole, salsa, and chips, were told some stuff and then went to our houses. The salsa was really sweet.
At our house it was Mariah and I in one room and then two other girls from our group en la otra room. They had a nicer room, I swear to god. Though, we had a closet ;P
We met our hose family, the host mum was Elena. Though she might have been the host grandma, not really sure. She's nicea nd all, but we don't really comprende mucho que ella dice.
Then there's Dorita, yo pienso que Dorita es hija de Elena...no se.
There has also been dos chicos... un es hermano de Dorita, se llama Chirino, yo pienso...no se.
We also met America, pero no se la relacion entre de America y Elena. No importa para mi, though I probably should know it. So we had an awkward lovely chat with Dorita y miramos television. Then we went back to la escuela. There was so much waiting...It seems like all we do is wait around. Well two girls had gotten lost...
So we waited at least thirty minutes para ellas to be found then went to a restaurante. It was in a hotel y gorgeous. It also was elegant. I wore my sister's dark green skirt with my orange/white stripped zippered-backed shirt. It felt really awkward again because all the guys -Guatemalans- were saying those comments -piropas- we were warned to ignore. So the restaurante, nosotros tenemos pan, mucho delisioso, con sopa de pea and also some type of spicey salsa thing. The pea sopa might have been asparagus, no se. Then we had this really good carne, yo pienso steak with ham y queso topping. There was a veggie salada y rice with it.
After that was dessert. I ate it but didn't really like it. It had dates between this weird slimey bottom and a top that was like really really thick pudding. The top was okay...
After that five guys came out and danced to a live band (which had been playing all through dinner). They all had these masks on and extravagent ropa y maracas. In the middle they handed off maracas and got the diniing people to come dance, ten people at a time because there was ten maracas. It was awkward and fun. Then we got to wait for the buses(vans) to arrive and take us home. We went to bed. XD
The End of Dia Uno.

Farming and I Grow It
It totally just came to my attention that I forgot to share one of my favorite videos ages ago! D: I found this during fair week :}
Check it out if you haven't seen it already XD It's really catchy.....then again the I'm Sexy and I know it song was really catchy too XD

Raccoon Releasing
So once upon a time, I woke my brother up to go do chores. He complained a lot but went and did them. He came back inside screaming that we had caught a raccoon in the cage by the chickens- So he was going to get the cage and put it in the truck so that we could take it miles and miles away from our house so it wouldn't come back.
- Well he couldn't get the cage outta the ground (it was staked down) and it was really hot out. We didn't want the panting raccoon to die, so we decided to let it out.
- So we got the truck and drove it over to the cage. Then we got a hose, crowbar, and shovel. We were using the crowbar and shovel to release the cage and the hose to protect ourselves!
- Oh wait....my brother says the hose was to cool it down <.<
- So anyway....we were slaving over trying to get the cage open (meaning my brother was trying to open the cage inside the bed of the truck so the raccoon wouldn't attack him while I watered the grass around the cage and the raccoon with the hose).
- Well it wasn't working, so Chuckles grabbed a stick to help release the cage
- and after about a million attempts (it seriously took almost thirty minutes to do this) we finally got the cage open. The raccoon just sat there :c So I sprayed it with the hose and it went running off into the woods
- The End

Guatamala
Yo estoy muy inquieto para mi viaje a Guatamala! Yo estoy saliendo proximo fin de semana!
I am very restless for my trip to Guatamala. I am leaving next weekend!
So I can't wait. I really really can't wait. I want to explore the world. I want to see different cultures. And this time next week, I will be in Guatamala doing exactly that! There's going to be so much to do there and see. I am really excited, but nervous at the same time.
All the other trips that I have gone on, I have had access to talking to my family all that I want because of my cellphone. All of my trips this summer, I have found out that someone in my family has died. I am scared that someone is going to die and I won't know about it because I am so far away. I won't be able to be there for my family or anything. I won't even know about it until I get back because I won't be calling them up. I feel like I'm going to get homesick, but at the same time, I feel like I'm going to be having way too much fun to get homesick XD
Anyway.....

Swimming
Today my friends and I went to the beach :} I absolutely love swimming. It's a release of everything that is stressing me. It didn't work today though, I feel like I'm about to explode. The water wasn't deep enough, I couldn't even tread most of the time. It doesn't matter that I couldn't tread though, because hey my ankle is injured and I CAN'T tread water very well right now. I also had to hang out with my friends.
With the mood that I have been in today, I should've been swimming laps, not stopping to hang out with them. I should've been avoiding people. Instead I had to put up with my friends and act like I was happy when all I wanted to do was be alone. I had to pretend and you don't understand how exhausting it is to pretend. You don't understand how hard it's becoming to pretend that I am okay in every single way.
Tomorrow I am going back to the beach. Tomorrow I am going to swim until I am too exhausted to continue. Tomorrow I am going with my sister and HER friends, they will leave me to my own doings. I can swim. I can be free of everything. I can relax. I can feel again.

Tell me Why
Why can't there be one day where I'm truly happy?
Why must I always have to put a fake smile on my face so that people won't ask me how I'm doing?
Why do I want to cry for no reason?
Why can't I be me?
Why does life have to suck so much?
Why must the elephant sit on the fence? :\
Why can't my depression stay the hell away from me?
Why am I upset that one person doesn't want to talk to me right now?
Why do I even have to care that that person doesn't want to talk to me?
Tell me why I have a frown on my face,
Why it feels so strange to smile fully and truly,
Why I feel like I'm a fake, a impostor,
Why I just want to wake up from this horrible nightmare but know I can't
Just Tell me WHY!

Weddings+Death
So I haven't written much recently, so I thought I would do a quick update on everything that I have done in the last week that I haven't said anything about :}
Last Saturday (July 14th) one of my favorite cousins got married. I remember I used to hang on him all the time, he has always been really tall to me and he would give me piggy back rides and everything. I was really little then. Well he finally got married XD I had a blast at his wedding, though I wish my other favorite cousins could have come out from New Hampshire, they weren't able to make it though so I had to have fun without them :c I managed....but it would've been funner with them! So anyway, on Friday the 13th, my mum got a message while we were at the wedding rehearsal. My great grandma had died.
That's what I got to do today. Today we went to her visitation/funeral. It was a lot more cheery and social than all the other visitations/funerals I have been to this summer (which has now been three total). I met a few of my "cousins." I'm not actually sure what to call them because they are my great grandma's kids's kids's kids :D so in other words her great grandkids.... I'm just going with cousins....they probably are some form of cousins right?
I'm waiting for a triple rainbow in the sky now, because there should be 3 rainbows :} The brightest for my Grandma Shirley, the 2nd brightest for my Uncle Dave, and the lightest for my (great) Grandma Faye. It might happen :}

Picture Story of Vampire Diaries
Okay, so I just watched an episode of Vampire Diaries and I wanted to replay exactly what I looked like while watching it...so here is the picture story of myself while watching Vampire Diaries XD
So Jeremy was compelled to take off his ring and go stand in the middle of the road while a hybrid ran him down. Alaric got shoved him out of the way and got hit instead. So then the hybrid comes back and is all like "I can save him just let me in your house" and then JEREMY GOES AND KILLS THE FREAKING HYBRID! I was all like "whaaaa?!?!?!" and that is what I looked like *points down*
After that there was a Damon/Elena moment, with Elena's hands covered in hybrid blood. There was lot of yelling. This is what I was feeling about the whole thing, I wanted them to kiss :} AND THEN AT THE VERY END OF THE FREAKING EPISODE THE KISSED :D

Oh and then Alaric came back from the dead because of his nifty ring but it didn't heal him so he had some great internal bleeding :D This is what I was feeling when that happened...I was all like "Damn I want that ring"

And that is the end of my picture story of my reactions. So actually what really happened was I decided to do a photo spam on a friends wall and used these pictures while telling her that's what I was looking like because of Vampire Diaries....It literally happened too :} I was greatly entertained and had to share.
Suicide Hurts
I didn't write this....someone from a Facebook page did and I thought I would pass it along....
Suicide hurts more people than you think, please don't ever consider it.
You’re sitting in your room ~ door locked ~ with a pen in your hand and a blank piece of paper infront of you. Your hand is shaking, and the tears begin again - for the third time in the past hour. ‘To my family’ you write at the top of the page, but decide it’s a bad way to begin your letter ~ your suicide letter. You try again, start over ~ again and again, but you don’t know where to begin. No one understands you; no one knows what you’re going through, you’re alone or at least that’s what you think. Nobody would care if you’re alive or not, you mean nothing to nobody.
It’s night, and you slip into bed. ’Goodbye’ you whisper into the darkness. And with that, you take your last breathe and end it all.
No body cares, right? Well you thought wrong. It’s a Tuesday the following morning, and when it’s 7:21, your mother comes and knocks on your door. She doesn’t know you can’t hear her she doesn’t know you’regone. She knocks a few more times, calling your name to open up. When there is no reply from your side of the door, she opens it and screams. She collapses on the ground while your dad rushes to your room. Your siblings have already left for school. Your very weak mother collects all the energy she’s got which is close to nothing to walk over to your bed. She leans over your dead body, crying, squeezing your hand, screaming. Your dad is trying to stay strong, but the tears escape his eyes; calling 000 or 911 with his left hand while his other one is on your mother’s back. Your mother blames herself. All those times she had said ‘no’ to you, all those times she had screamed at you, and sent you to your room over something stupid. Your father will blame himself for not being there for you when you asked for help, for being away from home at work for long. Nobody cares, right?
8:34. There’s a knock on your classroom door it’s the school principle. She looks more worried than ever. She calls the teacher to the side; all the students worried: what’s going on? The principle then later announces about your suicide. The popular girl that always called you fat and ugly is now blaming herself. The kid that would always copy your homework but treat you like crap ~ he’s blaming himself. The boy that sits behind you ~ the one that always threw things at you during class ~ he’s blaming himself too. The teacher is blaming herself - for all those times she’d scream at you for forgetting your homework, or not listening in class. People are crying, screaming, shocked, in regret of what they did. They’ll all be devastated - even the kids you’ve never talked to before. Still nobody cares about you, right?
Your siblings get home. Your mother has to tell them that you’re gone; forever. Your little sister ~ no matter how many times she’s screamed at you, told you she hated you and stole your stuff ~ always loved you, and saw you as her hero; her role model. She now starts to blame herself; why didn’t I do what she told me to do when she told me to? Why did I take her stuff even when she asked me not to? This is all my fault. Your brother gets home ~ the boy that never cries. He’s now in his room; mad at himself ~ he caused your death. All those times he’d played pranks on you. He’s punching holes in his wall, turning over things; he doesn’t know how to deal with the fact that you’re gone. Forever. Nobody cares about you, right? Right?
It has been over a month. The door to your room has been closed all this time. Everything is different now. Your brother has to be sent to anger management classes, your little sister cries everyday still waiting for you to come back. Everyday she waits for you to come back home. The popular girls have now turned anorexic. They don’t know how to deal with the pain that they’re feeling. Your father has depression; your mother hasn’t slept for nights it’s all her fault. She’s been crying and screaming every night wishing for you to come back. The boy who would always bother you dropped out of school. The boy that copied your homework now cuts. But nobody cares about you, aren’t I right?
Your mother finally decides to go clean out your room. But she can’t do it. She’s locked herself in your room for two days to try to clean up your clothes, your things. But she can’t she can’t say goodbye to you, not yet, not now. Never.
It’s your funeral. It’s a big one ~ everybody comes. No one knows what to say. The beautiful girl with the big smile is gone; you’re somewhere else. No one knows what to say, they’re all still shocked. Everyone cries, everyone misses you. They all wish you’d come back but you don’t, and you won’t.
Still think nobody cares about you? Think again. Even if people don’t show it, they care about you, they love you. If you kill yourself today or any other day you won’t know just how much you meant to people. If you kill yourself today, it stops your pain, but it pains all the ones who know you for the rest of their life. Suicide is the easy way out - but it’s the wrong choice. Life is beautiful. Yes, it does have its ups and downs everyone has their bad days. Sometimes people go through tough times in their lives like you’re probably going through now but bad times come and go. You might not see the light at the end of the tunnel, but it’s there. No matter how hard life gets, never give up on yourself, or on your life.
Take a minute now, and think. If you killed yourself ~ how would the people that love you feel/go through? Can’t think of anything? Well I’ll tell you: tears, tears, and more tears. Devastation. Guilt. Pain. Broken. Regret. Miserable.
If after reading this you still feel suicidal, there are people that can help you. I’m here for you whenever you need me, and I’ll be more than happy to listen to you and try to help you feel better. There are teachers, parents, grandparents, neighbors, adults, councilors ~ they’re all there for you whenever you need them.
I just want you to remember three things: you’re beautiful, you’re not alone, and it does get better, I promise.

Ice Skating
So today, I went ice skating. I absolutely love ice skating.
I went with my cousins/uncle/aunt today along with Chuckles and Quackles (what I've taken to calling my siblings) to the ice arena. I had to drive through scary traffic (just kidding...I just don't like driving in that town). We rented skates and went out onto the ice. First I must tell you what I'm wearing on this trip...
I wore short shorts, a tank top, and a denim vest with a smexi looking hat. I looked pretty freaking crazy. Everyone else was dressed warmly because they didn't want to get cold. My hands were the only thing that got cold, then again I didn't fall down once. I'm sure that if I had fallen down I would have been in lots of pain.
It took a while for us to get used to the whole ice skating ordeal, but then we were able to skate. Chuckles was a pro at ice skating. I was greatly jealous of him. XD After we got used to skating, we played tag on the ice. Some of us were better than others, so we didn't really play very well.
It was a lot of fun though. I hope to get to go again soon, I'm trying to convince my Kewanee loves to go ice skating with me (perfect destination if they come to visit don't you think?). Next time I'll be sure to wear pants so I don't have to worry about getting uber hurt from falling down. That way I can work on my backwards skating more than I did this time XD
Toodles!

The Book of the World
As I said in the last post...I didn't read this before posting it because I don't feel like going thattttt far down memory lane...but here is the story I wrote to go along with that post all those years ago (which was 2008 just saying)
“Everyone is waging war with each other your highness. What ever are we going to do?” Cenedra, one of the many queens of the world asked.
“We will have to call court. I want all of my loyal subjects to come to the Ruby Palace in the United States. It has always been my favorite place around this place. Tell them that they are going to be required to submit all the countries that they own and that I am making some new laws. These wars are getting way out of hand,” Mab announced. Mab was the High Queen of the world.
So just to get you up to date on some stuff here is a lot of information you might like. She had control over all the other queens and kings, but sometimes they got a little out of control. That was the time that she would call a court, to settle all their disputes. So now all the country leaders were coming together. Actually, due to some weather conditions and such, only a few of the queens and kings made it to court when Mab called upon them. They were Cenedra, Kaida, Eadoin, Jaser, Ece, Taiomah, Makani, Edan, Caleb, Calandra, Jokull, Sabra, Rafiya, Bella, Qamra, Maeko, Pouria, and Kylie. There might have been a few others, but no one can remember everyone.
These people owned a lot of countries, and were waging war on each other all the time. It was mostly over land disputes, but every once in awhile they would have a fight for just the heck of it. These wars, well, they aren’t really wars, they just weren’t allowed to have any physical wars. Mab strongly disbelieves in bloody violence and what was the point when they all lived under the same ruler. She did believe in letting them solve their own problems though, that was why there was so many wars. When there became to many the court was called and peace was made, and that brings us back to this court Mab is calling.
Everyone came within a month of getting the message. It was hard to get messages to people, because birds are the fastest way to communicate with them, but eventually everyone showed up. I don’t know how they lived though, no electricity must have been really though. They couldn’t stay up reading very late, though a lot of them came up with devises to make it possible to stay up late. I am pretty sure that it wasn’t for reading though. Mab entertained them and they all had to learn about the history of the United States, since that is where court was being held this time. Oh yeah, by the way, court is held on a different country each time and everyone is required to learn about that country.
Edan was the last one the show up, he brought the bad news of the death of King Henry, which is how he became the king of England. Apparently, Henry died of old age, but I think Edan just got bored of waiting for him to die and instead of waging war, he just killed Henry for the throne.
Did I tell you who I was? Oh, no I didn’t. I am the daughter of a great king and queen. Um, I don’t think you actually need to know who I am. Do you? No, I suppose not. This is a story of my sister though. Yeah, that is all you need to know.
Right back to the story, everyone was devastated to hear the Henry had died, well some of them anyways. Mab was, but some really hated him, he was really mean to some people. He had bloody wars and it was horrible. I am glad Edan killed him if he did, because he was going to kill my best friend Makani. Makani really isn’t that important. He is Edan younger brother and not a lot of people like him.
Anyways, as I was saying everyone was devastated blah, blah, blah. This is so boring, maybe we should just write this story in 3rd person, then there wouldn’t be so many thoughts about what I think. Yeah, that is what I’ll do. Oh, by the way. In this story, Mab made up some laws before the story. It was really interesting. Some of the laws were that you can only own 5 countries and then the countries you won from a war didn’t count as your 5 countries. You can have assistances or anything else from any gender for your country, but any other rulers are not allowed to be the same gender. The rule I think is the best is that you can’t have a Prince or Princess until you are 14. That way not many people are allowed to have them. I think it is really silly that you have to own a legal document to own a fly, but that is the way Mab wants it. Okay back to the story.
So here is the story of the world after the Golden Age. That was when Mab ruled the whole world and didn’t let others take command of parts of it easily, though I do believe that Kaida and Cenedra got to rule the Philippines and Japan during this age. Oh yeah, I forgot, 3rd person. It won’t happen again. So I’ll start all over now.
“Everyone is waging war with each other your highness. What ever are we going to do?” Cenedra asked, one of the many queens of the world.
“We will have to call court. I want all of my loyal subjects to come to the Ruby Palace in the United States. It has always been my favorite place around this place. Tell them that they are going to be required to submit all the countries that they own and that I am making some new laws. These wars are getting way out of hand,” Mab announced.
“Okay I will send the birds out right away,” Cenedra agreed. “Oh, by the way, did I tell you that Queen Bridgette was eaten by a whale? Calandra has taken her command of the Atlantic Ocean.”
“Really? I thought that Bridgette had control of the Indian Ocean.”
“Well, she had, but before she died, Makani won that from her. He outwitted her.” Cenedra informed.
“Well, that is really intreasting, I am surprised that I wasn’t told before you. Speaking of which why wasn’t I told?”
“Message just came in today. Calandra sent it, but she is on the other side of the world and the Russians intercepted her first message. She wouldn’t even had know that, had the bird not returned to her with no message and a brand of the Russians on it. Well, I really should send these letters.” Cenedra said getting up from the table. Mab got up to and went over to her book shelf and grabbed a book as they left the room.
“Tell them that I want them to be here within the next two months. If they can’t come, then I want to know that.” Mab decided and nodded to Cenedra as she entered her quarters to read the book she had grabbed.
Cenedra sighed and continued on to the bird place. All the homing pigeons were waiting t be let out and finally, all the letters were sent out to the correct person. “It is so stupid, letting birds deliver messages. They are like our own personal slaves now.” Cenedra muttered to herself.
“So, I have called you here today, because you have all disappointed me. The last court I called, only 3 of you showed up at the meeting. Edan, Kaida, and Taiomah, thank you for coming by the way. Anyways, you disappoint me, because you are being so mean to each other again. I was just informed by Cenedra about the death of Bridgette, but I didn’t know that you, Makani, had already won the Indian Ocean for her. You are all going through kingdoms way to fast. The people that you rule over aren’t sure who is ruling them anymore. It has to stop. So now, here we will have some, for lack of better word, debate, and decide who gets what country, but first what news do you have. Does anyone know why Henry isn’t here? Edan weren’t you at England before you came here?” asked Mab.
“Yes, I was, and I am sorry to bring you such distressing news, but since the news hasn’t reached you, I guess I have to tell you. King Henry has died. I have taken over the throne.” Edan mournfully announced.
“That is terrible news, what happened?” asked Ece.
“He died in his sleep. I don’t know if he was poisoned though. It just happened a couple of weeks before I left for here. I didn’t get to hear the results of their tests on the body, before I left. I will let you know if someone poisoned him though.”
“Funny, how he died when you were there. Don’t you think?” Jokull asked.
“Jokull, don’t even try to figure this out. I have my best people on it. Though even if you did try, I doubt you’ll find anything. You are so stupid,” Edan muttered.
“Hey!” Jokull cried. “ We are supposed to be nice.”
“That is right Edan, you really should pick on someone with the same level of smartness as you.” Cenedra joked.
“Cenedra, Edan, and Jokull, would you please be quiet. We are trying to have a meeting. Did you say that Bridgette died?” asked Kaida.
“Yes, she was eaten by a whale, Another odd consentience. That probably happened at the same time that Henry was killed. Does any one have any news on the Russians?” Mab asked.
“I think that they are getting tired of this war. They might be willing to make peace with us soon,” informed Eadoin.
“I wouldn’t count on that. My latest information says that they are trying to get some of the countries that we are leaving alone to join their side. Mab you might want to get back in the grove of traveling around your kingdom. I mean, I know that the world is really huge, but we can’t have them switching to supporting the Russians. I want this war to end; there is way to much blood being shed in this war for my liking.” Cenedra announced.
“Okay, I will remember that” Mab agreed. “We need to have some more troops go up there, I thin that the Russians are getting out of their ports and we can’t have that. I think that they are trying to convince us that they aren’t doing anything, and then killing everyone that they see as a threat,”
“So why haven’t they tried to kill you?” asked Jokull. Cenedra snorted and there was a burst of laughter around the table. “What did I say?”
“No one is stupid enough to try and kill Mab. They know if she is killed there will be a huge rebellion and they also know that they would be caught before she even died.” Bella informed.
“Shouldn’t we get back to the recording of who has what countries?” asked Ece.
“Yeah, we should, okay everyone put your counries down on the piece of paper that you have. While you do that, I want to know your opinon on these new rules that I have made up for all of you. I figure it will keep you guys peaceful for longer. Pretty soon I might as well, just keep court going all year and never let you leave.” Mab joked.
“So what are these new rules? I bet they are all really good,” Maeko betted. “You always have others best interests in mind when you make these laws.”
“That is very kind of you.” Mab replied. “Now one of the rules is wars are only verbal, as you already know, but you can be threatened. You can’t however, threaten a princess or prince. You also must have a legal document to own a elephant, whale, or fly. You can’t own a country if you are an alcoholic or drug addict and there is no whaling.”
“Wait, you have to have a legal document to own a elephant?” asked Taiomah.
“Yes, you only need one. The number of elephants and whales you own will need to be verified though.”
“What if there are to many whales to count?” Makani asked. “I mean, my ‘country’ is an ocean. There are millions of whales in there.”
“You just need one certificate if you have an ocean, but the rest of you need to verify how many you have. Now can we talk about our next line of business?”
“Wait! Did you say that we have to have a legal document to own a fly?” asked Cenedra. “If you did, I totally want one. I could call my fly Jimmy-bob, or Bob-jimmy!”
“Right, we will get you one right away. Now that was a little of track, so does anyone have anything none related to this meeting to say?” MAb inquired.
“Um, when is lunch?” Jokull questioned.
“Ugg, we aren’t ever going to get anything done, are we?” Kaida moaned. “We are going to be here forever.”
“ Oh, be quiet. We can eventually leave. Just not very soon with how everything is going. I vote that we have a break. That way Jokull can have some lunch.” Edan suggested.
“I seconded that vote. Anyone else want some food? I am staving.” Cenedra called. Everyone looked really upset about not getting anything done, but what could they do? They were rather hungry and weren’t getting anywhere. Mab sighed and handed out the rule list for everyone.
“Read all the rules during your lunch and when we get back in session tell me what you think.”
“How long is this break going to be?” Cenedra asked.
“How about,” Mab looked at her sun dial watch, “In 30 minutes.” So everyone left, except Mab, Kaida, and Cenedra, to eat lunch. Mab, Kaida, and Cenedra had food brought to them and they started to talk.
“You know, you could make this meeting easier by not interrupting Cenedra,” Kaida remarked.
“Yeah, well I really would like to own a fly. Though maybe I wouldn’t since they don’t live very long and no one should own free animals. It would be like a slave then.”
“Wow, you have decided that flies can be slaves now did you?” Kaida sarcastically stated. “What would they do for you?”
“Well, they could poison someone for me if I got really mad at someone,” Cenedra replied. :Though I wouldn’t want to do that, because then they might die and then I would have to find someone else to poison. You know what I mean right?”
“No idea, you lost me when you stated to babble.” Kaida said.
“I mean, that I can’t poison someone, because then I would have to find someone else to poison, because that person died cause I poisoned them. It really makes sense when you think about it.” Kaida nodded, trying not to laugh and Mab just kind of started to laugh.
“What? It’s not that funny,” Cenedra stated looking very confused.
“Yes it is,” Kaida laughed.
“You know this is an obweas court, you shouldn’t make fun of people,” Cenedra scowled and then started to laugh. “Though I don’t think you could survive without making fun of people.”
“Now you’re the one bullying. Mab are you really going to put up with this?” Mab sighed and looked at Kaida and Cenedra.
“Can’t you ever have a civilized conversation without bullying?” Mab inquired. Cenedra shook her head laughing and Kaida just shrugged. “Well, I do believe that the half hour is up. Let’s get back to business shall we?” Everyone was coming back into the room now, Everyone except Edan that is. I think Edan was off doing something stupid, because when he did show up he was really dirty and covered in mud and very battered looking. Whoops I did it again, sorry people. Anyways…Edan didn’t come back until later that night. Everyone was still in the meeting arguing as always. Cenedra was in the middle of all the fighting. She loved to yell at people, though she doesn’t much any more. Something made her stop. Cenedra wasn’t really yelling to make a point. She was just talking because she could.
“Well, I think that we should give out the documents we need now. I do believe that we need to get all the land in order. Everyone needs to fill out a document and then we will know who all has a country and what the country is. I also think that Edan shouldn’t be allowed to get anymore countries. He is taking over the world,” Cenedra was saying when Edan walked in. Okay so maybe she did have something good to say, but notice how she yelled nonsense at the same time.
“Um, why are we talking about me?” Edan inquired as he took his seat.
“Wow what happened to you?” Cenedra asked, she was trying not to laugh and wasn’t succeeding. Edan looked like he had been thrown in a pig pen and had been beaten to death. “Did your piggy friends not like you? I do believe that they did a fine job at trying to kill you. Maybe I’ll help them next time they want to try.” Cenedra sneered at Edan. Edan didn’t respond and looked around the room.
“So do I get to know what we are talking about yet?”
“We were talking about filling out documents and stopping you from gaining anymore countries,” Makani stated quietly to his brother as everyone starred at Edan. “What happened to you anyways? You were right behind me on our way here and then you just vanished.”
“I met some old friends of ours and went and talked to them,” Edan whispered quietly. “Now be quiet, I seem to actually have to defend myself against that stupid girl.” Cenedra heard all of this but didn’t say anything. She just simmered quietly waiting for another time to get back at him.
“Edan, you will have to tell me what happened later. From now until the sun goes down everyone will be filling out documents that say who owns what country. Get to work,” Mab ordered. Cenedra got up and left the room. Everyone glanced around wondering what they should do since there wasn’t any documents. When Cenedra came back though, her arms were filled with paper. She was also singing a song quietly to herself, which just happened to be when the sun goes down. Oh I should probably explain that now. You see for some reason Cenedra knew how to listen to music on radios and stuff. Which if you think about it is really weird since there wasn’t electricity. Though I guess it isn’t that weird since I’m listening to that same song too and I don’t have any electricity. Crap I forgot third person, my bad yet again. Back to the story, yet again.
Everyone filled out the forms and when the sun went down piled out of the room to go to sleep. They all had a very long day ahead of them tomorrow.
Edan, Cenedra, Kaida, and Mab stayed behind. One the big long octagon table of the knightessess, Edan was on the opposite side of the room. Cenedra, Kaida, and Mab sat right next to each other with Mab in the middle. Mab motioned for Edan to come sit closer, and he moved three seats down. Kaida and Cenedra glared at him and he moved down so he was sitting one seat away from Kaida.
“We don’t bite you know,” Cenedra sneered. Edan didn’t even look at her and just ignored her.
Mab sighed, “Can’t you ever get along with each other?” Cenedra shrugged and sat back, shutting her big fat mouth up for the rest of the night, or at least until the meeting was over. “So what happened?”
“Well, it’s a long story,” Mab and Kaida made themselves more comfortable. “Okay, so I went out to get some food. I thought I might buy some from that cook Solemn. He always is at this palace.”
“How do you know that?” Kaida interrupted.
“Because I’ve been here before and I always buy food from him. Anyways, I found him and ordered some food. As they were making it some strange men came up and ordered the same thing as me. Solemn took one look at the man and quickly gave the food that had just finished cooking to me. I didn’t really care and just waited for him to make another one for me. Solemn didn’t though. He just ran out of the shop. The man then looked at me. No he glared at me. He had these bright eyes that kept changing colors. At first they were hazel, but then he got angry and they turned orange.”
“Orange eyes? That not strange at all,” Cenedra muttered to herself. No one heard though, so I guess you could say that she didn’t really talk. Ugg, why do I keep doing that?
“He told me to leave the store and I didn’t. I figured I should watch the shop until Solemn got back. Well I learned my lesson. If a Russian soldier tells you to leave, you should listen to what he says,” Edan laughed.
“Russian soldier?” Mab sharply repeated. Edan nodded and Kaida shuddered.
“They must have intercepted one of the messages and know that we would be here. They probably sent him to get the layout of the place. I bet the Russians are going to try and kill us, not Mab, but everyone else,” Kaida shuddered again. Cenedra smiled gleefully at the thought of a fight for death. No one saw though because for some reason she was being ignored by everyone.
“That’s nonsense. No one in their right mind would attack us here. They also wouldn’t try and kill everyone. That just isn’t right.” Mab insisted.
“They ain’t in their right mind,” Cenedra stated quietly to herself, why on earth does she keep saying things? She isn’t heard yet again by the way. I have no clue why she would want to keep talking if everyone keeps ignoring her.
“Everyone is waging war with each other your highness. What ever are we going to do?” Cenedra, one of the many queens of the world asked.
“We will have to call court. I want all of my loyal subjects to come to the Ruby Palace in the United States. It has always been my favorite place around this place. Tell them that they are going to be required to submit all the countries that they own and that I am making some new laws. These wars are getting way out of hand,” Mab announced. Mab was the High Queen of the world.
So just to get you up to date on some stuff here is a lot of information you might like. She had control over all the other queens and kings, but sometimes they got a little out of control. That was the time that she would call a court, to settle all their disputes. So now all the country leaders were coming together. Actually, due to some weather conditions and such, only a few of the queens and kings made it to court when Mab called upon them. They were Cenedra, Kaida, Eadoin, Jaser, Ece, Taiomah, Makani, Edan, Caleb, Calandra, Jokull, Sabra, Rafiya, Bella, Qamra, Maeko, Pouria, and Kylie. There might have been a few others, but no one can remember everyone.
These people owned a lot of countries, and were waging war on each other all the time. It was mostly over land disputes, but every once in awhile they would have a fight for just the heck of it. These wars, well, they aren’t really wars, they just weren’t allowed to have any physical wars. Mab strongly disbelieves in bloody violence and what was the point when they all lived under the same ruler. She did believe in letting them solve their own problems though, that was why there was so many wars. When there became to many the court was called and peace was made, and that brings us back to this court Mab is calling.
Everyone came within a month of getting the message. It was hard to get messages to people, because birds are the fastest way to communicate with them, but eventually everyone showed up. I don’t know how they lived though, no electricity must have been really though. They couldn’t stay up reading very late, though a lot of them came up with devises to make it possible to stay up late. I am pretty sure that it wasn’t for reading though. Mab entertained them and they all had to learn about the history of the United States, since that is where court was being held this time. Oh yeah, by the way, court is held on a different country each time and everyone is required to learn about that country.
Edan was the last one the show up, he brought the bad news of the death of King Henry, which is how he became the king of England. Apparently, Henry died of old age, but I think Edan just got bored of waiting for him to die and instead of waging war, he just killed Henry for the throne.
Did I tell you who I was? Oh, no I didn’t. I am the daughter of a great king and queen. Um, I don’t think you actually need to know who I am. Do you? No, I suppose not. This is a story of my sister though. Yeah, that is all you need to know.
Right back to the story, everyone was devastated to hear the Henry had died, well some of them anyways. Mab was, but some really hated him, he was really mean to some people. He had bloody wars and it was horrible. I am glad Edan killed him if he did, because he was going to kill my best friend Makani. Makani really isn’t that important. He is Edan younger brother and not a lot of people like him.
Anyways, as I was saying everyone was devastated blah, blah, blah. This is so boring, maybe we should just write this story in 3rd person, then there wouldn’t be so many thoughts about what I think. Yeah, that is what I’ll do. Oh, by the way. In this story, Mab made up some laws before the story. It was really interesting. Some of the laws were that you can only own 5 countries and then the countries you won from a war didn’t count as your 5 countries. You can have assistances or anything else from any gender for your country, but any other rulers are not allowed to be the same gender. The rule I think is the best is that you can’t have a Prince or Princess until you are 14. That way not many people are allowed to have them. I think it is really silly that you have to own a legal document to own a fly, but that is the way Mab wants it. Okay back to the story.
So here is the story of the world after the Golden Age. That was when Mab ruled the whole world and didn’t let others take command of parts of it easily, though I do believe that Kaida and Cenedra got to rule the Philippines and Japan during this age. Oh yeah, I forgot, 3rd person. It won’t happen again. So I’ll start all over now.
The Book of the World (3rd Person)
“Everyone is waging war with each other your highness. What ever are we going to do?” Cenedra asked, one of the many queens of the world.
“We will have to call court. I want all of my loyal subjects to come to the Ruby Palace in the United States. It has always been my favorite place around this place. Tell them that they are going to be required to submit all the countries that they own and that I am making some new laws. These wars are getting way out of hand,” Mab announced.
“Okay I will send the birds out right away,” Cenedra agreed. “Oh, by the way, did I tell you that Queen Bridgette was eaten by a whale? Calandra has taken her command of the Atlantic Ocean.”
“Really? I thought that Bridgette had control of the Indian Ocean.”
“Well, she had, but before she died, Makani won that from her. He outwitted her.” Cenedra informed.
“Well, that is really intreasting, I am surprised that I wasn’t told before you. Speaking of which why wasn’t I told?”
“Message just came in today. Calandra sent it, but she is on the other side of the world and the Russians intercepted her first message. She wouldn’t even had know that, had the bird not returned to her with no message and a brand of the Russians on it. Well, I really should send these letters.” Cenedra said getting up from the table. Mab got up to and went over to her book shelf and grabbed a book as they left the room.
“Tell them that I want them to be here within the next two months. If they can’t come, then I want to know that.” Mab decided and nodded to Cenedra as she entered her quarters to read the book she had grabbed.
Cenedra sighed and continued on to the bird place. All the homing pigeons were waiting t be let out and finally, all the letters were sent out to the correct person. “It is so stupid, letting birds deliver messages. They are like our own personal slaves now.” Cenedra muttered to herself.
‡
Months later all of the great rulers were at the Ruby Palace in the United States. They were all sitting in the sea room, and it looked like they were under water. They sat at the octagon table of the knightessess, though not all of them were knightessess. “So, I have called you here today, because you have all disappointed me. The last court I called, only 3 of you showed up at the meeting. Edan, Kaida, and Taiomah, thank you for coming by the way. Anyways, you disappoint me, because you are being so mean to each other again.

“Well, it’s a long story,” Mab and Kaida made themselves more comfortable. “Okay, so I went out to get some food. I thought I might buy some from that cook Solemn. He always is at this palace.”
“How do you know that?” Kaida interrupted.
“Because I’ve been here before and I always buy food from him. Anyways, I found him and ordered some food. As they were making it some strange men came up and ordered the same thing as me. Solemn took one look at the man and quickly gave the food that had just finished cooking to me. I didn’t really care and just waited for him to make another one for me. Solemn didn’t though. He just ran out of the shop. The man then looked at me. No he glared at me. He had these bright eyes that kept changing colors. At first they were hazel, but then he got angry and they turned orange.”
“Orange eyes? That not strange at all,” Cenedra muttered to herself. No one heard though, so I guess you could say that she didn’t really talk. Ugg, why do I keep doing that?
“He told me to leave the store and I didn’t. I figured I should watch the shop until Solemn got back. Well I learned my lesson. If a Russian soldier tells you to leave, you should listen to what he says,” Edan laughed.
“Russian soldier?” Mab sharply repeated. Edan nodded and Kaida shuddered.
“They must have intercepted one of the messages and know that we would be here. They probably sent him to get the layout of the place. I bet the Russians are going to try and kill us, not Mab, but everyone else,” Kaida shuddered again. Cenedra smiled gleefully at the thought of a fight for death. No one saw though because for some reason she was being ignored by everyone.
“That’s nonsense. No one in their right mind would attack us here. They also wouldn’t try and kill everyone. That just isn’t right.” Mab insisted.
“They ain’t in their right mind,” Cenedra stated quietly to herself, why on earth does she keep saying things? She isn’t heard yet again by the way. I have no clue why she would want to keep talking if everyone keeps ignoring her.
Maps
I came across the maps again today. I haven't written about them I'm pretty sure, so I will now because it's a great memory.
In 8th grade, we started this thing, I'm not really sure how it started, but people started to claim countries and one of my best friends became the queen of the world. Well it went on from there, I printed out a map and people would sign their name on their countries so that no one would get mixed up on who had what country. I was like the guardian of the maps or something. It went so far that we were making up stories and such. Like, the whole world was at war with Russia because they wouldn't bow to the queen of the world. It was a great time. On the back of the map of Europe, there is even an agenda written down from the first day of December. This is what it says....
Mon- New Zealand- Queen biz
Tues- North Pole- Skiing and Snowboarding
Wed- South Pole- Ice Skating and Sledding
Thurs- South Georgia Island- Hang out with dlkjfadlskf (ex-best friend)
Fri- Madagascar and Ethiopia- Jungle hiking/ climbing
Sat- Hawaii- Volcano Swimming- get volcano proof clothes and googles..don't invite kfljal (my "twin" brother)
Sun- Pacific Ocean -Swimming with Dolphins and other stuff
We would have a great live as the leaders of the world. So anyway, that summer I promised a few of them that I would write a story to go along with the maps and I started it but never finished it. I'm going to post it in the next post depending on how long it is, I know its pretty long though because I'm not one to write short stories. I'm not even going to read what I wrote way back then, I'm just posting it...so go onto the post called "The Book of the World"
