Okay that last post was pretty pathetic, but what are you going to do when dad says that he is going to go to joann fabrics and you need to get something but you also want to write something on your blog. You get a short sentence that isn't even spelled right. And now just thinking of the snow makes we look out at what is melting. Tsk, Tsk. The snow should not melt.

Snow!!!!!

It snowed last night. Horra!!! I am thrilled.

No Snow

There is no snow and it should be illegal. I want to have ten feet of snow so I can go sledding and snow shoeing. Even three feet would be nice, not this rain and snow crap. The only remotely exciting thing going on right now is that annie and lucie are over. If they weren't then I would be bored. Or I would be reading a book. I have been watching the birds flying to the bird feeder in the rain. They are so cute no matter what the weather. Check out my poll everyone.

Christmas Decoration

Yesterday I went over to my friend Kathy's house and helped her decorate her home for Christmas. Mostly we were moving the furniture out of the way and getting the boxes down from the upper level of the house. I stayed overnight and today I did most of the work. The tree got set up and things on her mantle and the lights in the window. I also watched the movie A Boyfriend For Christmas while there too. I enjoyed myself throughly.

I thought that this was precious.

Orange Rules

This post may sound corny and look just as bad, but I thought that everyone could do with a laugh at my pathetic rule book for eating oranges. I had an interesting talk with one of my friends about oranges and so I came up with this guide book and gave it to him. I still think that it is funny and even if it does sound dtupid, it makes someone smile.


Alex




Pre Rule : Before you eat an orange, you must ask the SU Orange men Mascot if you can eat an orange. If he says “no” then you cannot eat one. If he says “Yes” then start by following these rules.

Rule 1: You can only eat a orange that has a circumference of 10 in/ 26.5 cm. If you find one that is this size then you can eat it and continue to follow these rules. If you don’t you will have to serve the consequences. You might end up in the jail for mistreating oranges.

Rule 2: Before you eat an orange you must ask if it would like to be eaten.

Rule 3: If the orange says “Eat Me” you may take it and eat it. If it says “ Don’t eat me” leave it alone.

Rule 4: After asking the orange if it wants to be eaten, you must ask how it wants to be sliced; with a knife or with your hands.

Rule 5: If it says a “knife”, You must ask the orange what knife it wants to be cut with.

Rule 6: You must then ask the knife if it would like to be used to cut the orange.

Rule 7: If the knife says “Yes” you may use it. If it says “no”, you must tell the orange your predicament and ask it for another knife that would be willing to cut it.

Rule 8: After using the knife, you must say “Thank You”

Rule 9: If the orange says to “use your hands”, use your hands. And then say “Thank you” to your hands for pealing the orange.

Rule 10: To wash the knife or your hands, you must ask the water faucet if you can use it. If it says “ Yes” Then wash your hands. If it says “ No”then your have to ask other sinks if you can use them. If all of the sinks in your house won’t let you use them, then you must ask sinks in other parts of the world. If you cannot find any sinks that will let you wash your hands, then you must ask the hoses. Hoses can be tricky because they have there favorites. If all of the hoses in your yard say “ no you cannot use me “ then you must ask all the other hoses in the world. Then if your hands are still not washed then you must ask all the bodies of water in the world. if they say “no” as well then you will have to lick your fingers. Your tongue won’t mind as long as you say “Thank you” to it. But by then all of the sinks will let you wash your hands. So it seems as if you just wasted your time.

Rule 11 : If others are around when you have a orange, you must share with them all of the orange so you have none, or you must give all of the orange away so you only have left 1 mm left which is for you.

Rule 12: If you are older than 6, you cannot eat Clementines. Florida Oranges are for only 9-13 years old. Navel Oranges are for the teens and up to 20 years old. All of the other oranges are for everyone older than 20. But Alex Haehn is an exception she can eat any orange that she wishes as long as some rules are followed. She is also excepted because she is a friend to the Orange Men.

Rule 13: You cannot eat anymore than 3 oranges a day due to a gigantic growth in the belly size. To figure out your belly size,( if you want to grow a big belly) read this chart. It tells you how many oranges will give you a certain size in one day. ( The chart is written on the next page due to some circumstance about the looks.)

100 oranges = 100 ft
95 oranges = 95 ft
90 oranges = 90 ft
85 oranges =85 ft
80 oranges =80 ft
75 oranges =75 ft
70 oranges =70 ft
65 oranges =65 ft
60 oranges =60 ft
55 oranges =55 ft
50 oranges =50 ft
45 oranges =45 ft
40 oranges =40 ft
35 oranges =35 ft
30 oranges =30 ft
25 oranges =25 ft
20 oranges =20 ft
15 oranges =15 ft
10 oranges =10 ft
5 oranges =5 ft
4 oranges =4 ft
3 oranges =3 ft
2 oranges =2 ft
1 oranges =1 ft

Rule 14: You can only eat oranges on Tuesdays.

Rule 15: Your can only eat Oranges between the times of 2:00- 4:30. This will allow you to eat other fruits during the day with out the fruit punching each other. Otherwise you would have fruit punch.

Rule 16: You can only eat oranges with orange juice, cheese, and crackers.

Rule 17: Don’t eat a soft orange. It could be rotten.

Rule 18: Don’t eat a green orange or you will turn into a lime. It will happen also if you eat a yellow orange. If you don’t turn into that fruit, then you might turn into that color.

Rule 19: Never ever throw a orange on the ground. It will become bruised. The orange might become so mad that it will roll on you and bruise you. Or the Oranges will call 911-672-643 for being mistreated and you will get in very big trouble for being mean to the orange.

Rule 20: Oranges have personalities.Don’t forget to ask it some of these questions:

a. Where do you want to be pealed?
b. Do you want to be pealed with other oranges?
c. Are you too cold or are you too hot?
d.Would you like to become my friend?
e. Which spot is better for you? In the sun or in the refrigerator?

Questions like these might lead to a new future for you in the orange land.

Rule 21: Do not hit an orange on the floor. Because they might turn on you and roll over your foot, hand ect..........

Rule 22: Do not hit a orange because it could bite you, and you might end up in the hospital. Oranges have a strong and a deadly bite.

Rule 23: Do not eat an orange that wears a crown because you will eat a royal orange. It would be a royal pain to eat a royal orange. Not to mention a pain in the mouth. The mutant orange men will attack you and you could go to the orange jail. They will put you in jail for misuse, mistreated, unlawful eating of the king. You would have to stay in this jail for 48 hours. ( hours symbolize years in orange. 1 hour= 1 year. 2 hours= 2 years. 3,4,5 and so on.)

Rule 24: Oranges have a mean fruit punch when they get mad so stay out of the way when an grouchy orange comes by.

Rule 25: Oranges with a navel tend to be ticklish. They may become your friend or become your enemy. So be careful of the Navel Oranges, or in Orange land they may break out into a civil war. That war could even happen here on Earth.

Rule 26: Don’t underestimate an orange. For even if you don’t know it oranges are quite smart. They have an overactive imagination and that could lead to a drastic orange revolt against human kind if you disobey these laws.

Rule 27: You must say to the Orange “Are you ready to be eaten?” if it says “Yes”, it will smile at you. If it doesn’t smile at you, you must wait twenty minutes and then try again.

Rule 28: Oranges don’t like to be separated from their skin often. So make sure that before you eat the orange you ask the orange if it would like to say goodbye to its shell. Then you may eat the orange.

Rule 29: Oranges loath to be alone. So when you put them in the refrigerator, put them with other fruits. For example: Apples, Pears, and Bananas. They don’t like pineapple very much or other weird fruits like that. If you put the oranges with the fruit they don’t like you may have a fight in the fridge friuts against fruits.
Rule 30: Never put the oranges with vegetables they might eat each other to death. Or the oranges might suck out the vegetables juices out so they turn white. (This happened in a story I read called Bunnicula)

Rule 31: Beware of Captain Orange who goes around stealing our oranges so he himself can eat his fellow oranges. (He’s a bad orange. Destroying his own kind.) If you happen to find him in your fridge, just take a knife and cut him up for a snack. You might get in trouble with the King Orange, but at least he can’t steal oranges anymore.

Rule 32: If you become an orange farmer you must not grow oranges in the tropical rain forest because they will shrivel up and you would get in trouble with the Orange King for being imorange to them.

Rule 33: Please

Rule 34: Be

Rule 35: Kind

Rule 36: To

Rule 37: Oranges

Rule 38: Do not eat oranges with other fruits because they get jealous.

Rule 39: You must sing to the orange before you eat it. This will calm him down and he will want to be eaten more.

Rule 40: Do not eat orange flavored candy because they will think you like candy more than healthy fruits.

Rule 41: If you have a pet monkey don’t give him/her a orange because it will give them a really bad temper. We don’t know why, but a bad monkey is always trouble.

Rule 42: The only animal that likes to oranges is the Triple Rhino of Golapaous Isle. They eat so many oranges that the species has stayed the color Orange. They are a major attraction in the new zoo down there. You can purchase them in the zoo. But most people find there size way to minuscule. They get lost very easily. Well enough of this science lesson. Lets get back to the rules.

Rule 43: Do not use an orange when playing the game of bowling.

Rule 44: Do not eat an oranges while listen to loud music for it will get mad and scream in your ear. This loud noise hurts their delicate ears that are so tiny that there microscopic.

Rule 45: The only music oranges will listen to is Oceania. This is because this music is easy for an orange to dance to.

Rule 46: Oranges only dance on weekdays at any time. They save the weekends for going on dates.

Rule 47: Oranges don’t like being with dates because they are allergic to them. (This date is the kind you eat.)

Rule 48: Never eat an orange when listening to Aqua. It may become a deadly thing.

Rule 49: Never mistake an orange for a ball, or you just might get yourself on the ground with orange juice on you.

Rule 50: Oranges do not like it when mortals disobey these rules. They have a real problem with the fact that they have to have rules for people to live by. They find them quite ignoring. The rules are there because their last Orange King was terrified of humans, and wanted to put these rules into action. But the orange just might still have a revolt against the old dead kings son. That would be bad for him. There would be trouble in the orange realm. That is where you need to help the oranges. Making friends with them will help you enter their realm, and just then maybe you could help them bring down these rules until then, these rules stay. Maybe you can help. Here I’ll bring the portal in. Just imagine a land where everything smells like fruit and oranges talk. There are good ones and some bad ones that help the king. So you my brave wanderer must save this land before it is too late.

Car Crash

Not to worry anyone, but car crashes are not fun and I can atest to that because I was in one tonight. I am okay but I am going to be emotionally disturbed for the rest of my life. I probably won't be able to drive for awhile, because I am too scared to get behind the wheel. Maybe by wednesday I will feel better. Right now all I can do is cry and thank God that my guardian angel was watching over me with my mom and all of the people who love me. Thank You.

Glory

Self Esteem

I just realized that I hadn't posted in a really long time. I was right. So now I can start anew.

I was watching LIVE IS WILD tonight and I thought that it is really interesting that many guys feel threatened when a girl beats them at a sport. It seems to me that they have some insecurity problems that the have to deal with. Those guys that have that problem are usually threatened whenever a girl beats them. What's jsut as bad is when the girl knows it and keeps beating the guy just to get his goat up. Both cases I think delve into people's self esteem. What do you think?

MidTerm Stress

Sarah apparently wanted me to write about how stress out I am. I am. I guess that the only good thing that it good about this is that the second notebook that is due has been put off until the second of November. That makes my studying much better. I only have to study for three tests. I suppose that I will be all right as long as I focus and don't full around.

Wheely down the Expressway

Want to hear about a Jackass. Today when I came home from school a guy decided to show off. I was driving and he came on a motorcycle next to me and then passed and went in fron of me. I didn't think of it until her stood up on the bike and pulled the bike up and did a wheely in the middle of the expressway. Of course he went around other cars and looked back to make sure that I was watching. I thought that the trcik was pretty cool, but at that moment in time was thinking "you jerk, do you want to kill your self". I wonder about people like that. Where do they pick that type of behavior from?

Weekend Upcomings

My cold is officially at it end. The hot totties, tea, honey and whiskey, worked really well. Now all that I have to worry about it my nose running. It is quite annoying because it feels like every five minutes I have to blow my nose. I suppose that I could pump myself up with antihisamines, ( not quite sure if I spelled that right) but so far it hasn't been too bad. Yesterday was a bit yucky because my diafram kept spasming and it was hard to breath let alone talk without feeling like I had to cough. But anyway, lets get off this depressing topic and talk about something else. Let's see, well the weather is much better to talk about. It has been nice, warm and sunny. You'd think that with such nice weather that I would be outside in it. Well if that was the case then this blog entry wouldn't exist.

Yesterday when I came home from school I put our upside down scarecrow up. Mom saw this idea in a magazine and we have been doing it ever since. Basically the scarecrow is standing on his hands. I think that it is cool because not many people have one of these. I do notice that may people give us comments on it. Usually it is because we are outside at the moment doing yard work and they happen to be walking by.

Right now there is a guy fixing out dish washer because it had a recall on it. So that would be another reason why I am staying in the house. The other thing that we have to fix is the oven. It decided to break on us. The temperature doesn't work anymore, and as far as I know the oven has to be hot to cook. If I knew those computer signs for smiliy faces, this would be the spot where I would put one. Anyway, dad and I have to put it together some time this weekend. It should be interesting. I like taking things apart.

Tomorrow I am going to ride horses and hopefully Waldo won't be a jerk and try to scare the hell out of me. He made me say some pretty colorful words last week. Sara can atest to that. He is the type of horse that you can spot out right away because while all the other look smart and intelligent, he looks looks lost and confused, not to metion stupid. From what I hear, he tries to more or less drive you crazy when riding him, but he doesn't have the guts to actually get you off of him. I gues that the more I ride him the better I will be in the long run.

Saturday I plan to spend at a friend's house. She just moved in and I am going to help her put stuff into her attic. She can't move around as well as I can and I told her that if she needed anymore help that I could do it on weekends. (Every time I write weekends, I always manage to write 'weed' first, finally knocking off the 'd' to get the word week. Mind you while I have been writing this sentence I didn't do that though.)

Sick for 48 hours

I got sick this week. Woopie for me. But now I feel much better thanks to soup and hot totties. Tomorrow I will actually be able to go to school without feeling gross. Horrah. I can't think of anything else to type up for now, so I will write later when I do.

Copying Sarah

I'm going to copy Sarah ans tell everyone what and where my name comes from. Alexandra is greek and is the protector of mankind. Cool huh!

No BBc America, Fooey!

The most remotely interesting thing that happened today was mowing the lawn, psy homework, which in some parts of the chapter, I did find fun to read, mythology, and picking up sticks in the lawn.

I saw Brokeback mountain which made me cry because it touched my heart, I also watch episodes one, two, and three of Daniel Dandonda. I really liked that, now I just have to wait for the library to get the next set. I wish that we had the british broadcasting channel all the time and not just on saturday nights. But we don't have cabel, so fooey.

Nora: The Sequel



I thought that this was really cute!

S142007

I got an 80 inn my psy class and probably an A in spanish today. I am throughly thrilled. Horses was okay to today. I jumped a bunch of jumps in a row. it is called gymnastics. I went over a crossrail and then a rail along the grround, another crossrail, and a rail along the ground, but they are so close together that you have to stay in two point the whole time. It is interesting and fun.
I do have a story that I am working on, but I am hesitant to type it because of a few negative things that I wrote about. It is more of the stories that is a girl story. But maybe I will put one of my other ones on here when I get a chance. I have quite a few, though I will have to find one that I don't mind sharing. Some are just too deep for me to share with the world yet.

Spice girls

I have seen many girls try to lipsink to this song, and they can't do worth beans. These guys are really good, and it is funny.(at least I think so) Check it out!


Contolling Powers

"No, don't hurt him," I screamed. It was only the golden chains holding me back. They had Jude paralized on the floor. No sign of life could be seen. I strained on my chaind that held me to the wall.
"Give us the amulet and he shall live,"
"He had nothing to do with it,"
"Anyone who entwins their life with yours is involved," a moan escaped from Jude's lips.
The chains extended enough just about to the place where I was able to touch his arm. His arms which held me the night before were ridgily out.
"Jude," I screamed.
"He cannot hear you because to him, at this moment in time, you do not exist,"
The tears rushed. If I give up the amulet, then the whole world would fall into chaos, but if I didn't my heart would be broken.
"I'll give you the amulet," I said quietly, but everyone heard. The gold chains fell and I flung the amulet away and ran to Jude. Tears continued to fall. When Jude realized what I did, he held onto me. They did'n't pay attention to us. All they could think about was contolling the world.


It seems like mostly everyone wants to control the world, at least in the good and evil books. They want to have that power over all. It is as if they don't have all of that power they would fall off the face of the earth. The power they crave they can only have with complete and total domination. What type of person would want to do that to a group of people? Why would they? They would have to be pretty sick in the head to want that. The chunk of story that I wrote came to me one night after I had watched a movie and it made me realize that there are many movies and books about real people who would do that. And consequently in the end made me sad to know that such people exist or existed.

I POOTED

Come Ooooooooon

Study Blues

Today I studied all day long. I seriously don't know if I learned anything because there was just so much info that I had to read about. I read from nine thirty to eight fifteen this evening stoping only for breaks in between and dinner. Right now I feel as though my head would explode. I still haven't done all the work. I have spanish left to do, but I have an hour to do that before my class tomorrow. It is just review anyway. Good thing that on Wednesday and Fridays I am done at two so that I can go home and do whatever I want. It will only be on Mondays with that acursed lab in my physical geography that I will be at school till five.

First Day Nerves

Today was the first day of school and I haven't finished it yet, I have one more class left before I can home. Hopefully it is the only class that I have to write a paper. None of my other classes have papers in them. Maybe it won't be that many. I just hope that I understand everything that I read.

Durand Eastman Park

About a half an hour ago, we got back from Durand Eastman Park. We went on a hike around the Eastman Lake and saw swans and ducks with their babies, herons, huge spiders, and lots of mushrooms. One was bright orange. I thought tha they looked neat.

Tomorrow is my last day of freedom, and then on wednesday, I have to get up at 6:30 so that I can get to my 8:00 class. I want to get there early so that I can go to the book store and get myy last book for my Mythology class. It wasn't ther ethe last time that I was there, so now I have to get it when everyone else is there. I hope that I get to see my friends there in between classes. Well I know that I get to see Leah in my science and spanish class, but I also get to see Sara in my spanish class as well. Maybe I will see other peole that I have seen in my previous classes.

I think that I will go to the library tomorrow because I want to get more books and movies. I am going to be a bit bummed out because I won't be able to read as many books as I normally have done this summer because I have all of this school stuff to read. But I suppose that the only good thing about going to school is that I get to see my friends, my tv shows are back on, I get to sing for church, and I get to ride horses on fridays.

Textbook Madness!

I went and got my psychology book yesterday, and I swear that I am going to fall over this semester. It is so huge that I can just barely carry it by itself. It is ridiculously large. Good thing that I have that class first and that I have a locker to put it in, otherwise I think that I would have to build up muscle to carry it, or put it in the car when I am done. My geography class has two text books of some size and my spanish books match in size. Th eonly small books I have are for mythology and I only have one of them. I suppose that I will live, but we will see.

We followed the goddess though we weren’t sure of what we thought of her. But even as we followed her, I felt this gnawing presence. I didn’t know what it was, but it was close.
Gebri didn’t think much of living. The cave was atrocious, not a clean spot in sight.
“Griffen a light,” Kalob said. Griffen followed behind the goddess leading us with his light. Deep within the cave we found Gebri muttering spells over the obcedian block. A light shot out of the goddess’s hand and hit Gebri’s shoulder.
“I think that I’ll take that,” the goddess said.
“My lady,” Gebri said, almost pleasantly, as he stood up, “One such as yourself must have better manners then to throw a gentleman against the wall,”
“You are not a gentleman father. You broke my mother’s heart with your greediness. Now you want to destroy everything I know. I can’t let you do that,” the goddess held her hand up to silence me.
“Yes a lady would be kind, but as you see, I am a goddess and we are not always ladies. You have someone who should have been destroyed a long time ago. If you hand him over, you will be let go,”
Gebri spat, “ You don’t think I know that as soon as you killed my master I will die too? Oh I have thought of ways to do this so that I can have all the power, but with a binding spell it won’t work,”
“Does it really matter?” the goddess said flicking a fire ball at him. But Gebri ducked behind a rock.
“Once, my master returns you will think twice before you do that,”

“Look,” said Mathyus. The Obcedian block was growing. A head began to appear with a bulbous nose.
“My master returns,” Gebri cackled. The goddess created an energy force field to keep Garados from becoming human.
“You must rebind him to the block before the force field is gone,” the goddess said to us. “Hurry! I can only hold it so long,”
WE stood in a pentagon around the block. Concentrating we lit up our crystals and created a light trail, connecting our crystals with love and light. But as hard as we tried, nothing wold keep Garados in the block. An arm and then the left foot grew out of block.
“We’ve got to try hard,” Jess said. But Garados’s life force overtook us. There was a crack and I was repelled backwards, hitting my head against a rock. I blacked out.

PART 6

“Where am I?” I mumbled. “ What the hell happened? Where is Garados?” I said nearly shouting.
“I’m right here,” the voice sent shivers up my spine. My hairs stood on end. “You should never try a binding spell when only part of you magic is intact,” Garados said smoothly. I shook my head groggily. As I opened my eyes, I saw the inside of the cave. Garados stooped in front of me. I tried to tear him from limb to limb, but my body wouldn’t move.
“I do love having power. Tell me Kel how does it feel to lose,” I spat at him. “ Fine, act like an animal. It will only keep you here longer,” Garados left. Once gone, the magical restraints were lifted. I slid to the floor of the cave.
My head hurt. I had gouges cut out of my arms and legs. My back was scrapped from the rocks when I slid down, and I think that I broke a finger or two. But even though I was wounded, I managed to survey my surroundings.
Garados left me where I fell. The boys and the goddess had disappeared. But Gebri was still around, watching me from another cavern entrance. Apparently that wasn’t good enough because he had to come over and harass me with his taunts.
“I told you that failure was in your future. You are just like you mother Kel. simply irresistible, but not strong enough,” he said grabbing my chin until I yanked away. “ She tried to so the same thing to my master long ago, but he escaped. My master is more powerful than the other wizards that she eradicated,”
“How you dare talk about my mother like that,” I went to shove hi over, but he just flicked his finger and I was paralyzed. After awhile he let me down. This time I would use my power. I reached down to grasp the crystal but it wasn’t there. Gebri cackled gleefully.

“No crystal for you,” and he left, his laughter echoing off the walls. I was left seething in my anger.
*
I was at the point where I couldn’t feel the presence of my friends or my mother. But I did feel a newer one. It was a different one then I ever felt before.
“You have more power then your mother,” I heard in my head. “But it looks as if you are caught Kel, daughter of angel Lessionia,”
“Who are you?” I asked in my head.
“Just someone who has your best interests in mind,” he replied.
“A name would be nicer,”
“Informality is much better though. Now if I help you escape, you must do something for me,”
“If I have to give you Garados for it, forget it,”
“Ah, so you’ve heard it from Lessionia?”
“No, it is running through your head. ‘Does she know about Lesionia and I? The attack on the house? My plans for Garados?’”
“You are definitely stronger than your mother,”
“Now if you don’t mind, I would like you to leave my brain. I will think of a way to escape on my own,”
“I’m sure you will,” and then he was gone.
“Oh, Gebri,” I called. His head popped up from behind a rock. “Someone know where you are,” I taunted.
“How do you know?” he asked picking up the front of my shirt.
“That’s enough Gebri,” said Garados after Gebri slapped me for not answering. “If she is not ready to tell, we will just give her some time,” said Garados but much too smoothly. He walked over to the far side of the cave. He made the walls clear. a deep pit with no bottom was visible, and my friends were about to plummet down through,”
My words spilt out so fast that I could barely understand them.
“I don’t know who he was, but he knew my mother and he wants you Garados,”
“Well that buys you and your friends some time,”
“Why aren't they awake?”
“Once they were asleep it was much easier to take their crystals. Now that I have five, all of you can watch me change the world,”
“You monster!” I screamed. I pulled on the magical bonds holding me. “ I will not let you do that!” Slowly I moved forward.
“Impossible! You shouldn’t be able to move at all,” Grinding my teeth, i continued to push forward. I thought about all the people I loved; my Mother, Grandfather, Jess, Griffen, Mathyus, Kalob, and yes Horitori too. I wasn’t going to just let them die. My heart over flowed with love and light that I began to overcome Garados’s magic.
“This should be impossible! It’s inconceivable! No one could have the power to do this except....,” Garados said astonished.
In a flash my mother showed up. “Yes Garados, my daughter, Kel, is the one of the prophecy. The one of angel, elf, and man. One who has the power to eradicate all evil. Your time has come,”
I closed my eyes and in that instance, I saw myself when I was little. It was at Grandfather’s house. My mother and father were chasing me around the yard. Grandma was in the garden picking strawberries. I ran behind her skirts.
“You can’t get me now,” I giggled. My father came at me, picking me up. He twirled around once. I had my hands outstretched. I giggled some more. My father brought me down. I hugged him, my arms around his neck.
“I love you daddy,”
“ I love you daddy,” tears rolled down my face as I gave one more push. Garados was gone.
Falling to my knees, I hit the floor. “Father,” I called. Gebri laid sprawled on the floor. He clutched his chest. My mother hovered over him. He motioned for me.
“Lessionia, I never meant to hurt you. Garados’s hold was so strong, I...,”
“Shhh,” my mother said kissing him after. “It doesn’t matter now. Her tears fell to his chest.
“My baby girl,” my father said, taking hold of my hand. “ I never stopped thinking about you. Now you’re all grown up and beautiful,”
“I love you daddy,” he closed his eyes and I cried.
*
Part of me died that night in the cave. I never realized that my mother had left my side to help my friends. All I could do was sob for the father that I never had. Garados was gone, but nothing made since anymore.
I drifted on a plane of existence, never in one for any length of time. Nothing kept me in place. Briefly I would see my friends in and out of the plane, but soon they disappeared and only my mother was left.
I had a dream about her and that a man came to here offering her the ability to go back heaven, but she declined saying that she would stay on earth. That same man came to me. He presence was the exact same presence as in the cave.
“I realized that I was wrong for harming you and your mother. I did not believe that such a prophecy existed,”
“I forgive you,” I whispered. He came out of the shadows of my dreams. I saw his face, as a high angel; Caron. He bowed at me, right arm clenched in a fist over his heart. He took to the sky and disappeared.
*

“Kel,” someone whispered. My eyelids fluttered open to see Jess’s radiant face.
“Jess,” he laid down next to me. We didn’t say anything at first, but his arms around me made me feel secure. I snuggled up next to him knowing that everything was okay and a kiss made my hear realize that too.

THE END

PART 5

Magic always leavevs a trail no matter what. It was really easy finding my father because he liked using his power a lot. He was staying in a cave not far from Garados’s destroyed castle. So now all we had to do was to go back to the mainland.
“Mother, are you coming back with us?” I asked her as we got ready to fly.
“I wish I could Kel, but the angelic power I had to use to escape has worn me thin, not to mention the power I had to use to help you. Besides, you don’t need me. The five of you are stronger than the last guardians. But my love will go with you,”
She held out her arms and I squeezed her tight. When we at last stood apart, she smiled with the warmth that I always knew.
The five of us took to the sir. Griffen leading the way. Our clothes took form of the warrior. My mother flew next to us for a way.
“Bet you can’t do this,” she said, and with the last bit of energy that she had she twisted and looped in the air and then sped up dropping thirty feet closer to the water before she tightened her turn and zig zagged up towards us, coming to a short stop next to me again. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t manage the sharpe turns.
“You need to fly more,” she shouted as she dropped out behind us, going under a cloud.
Touch down was a success. From the sky we could see the ruins of Garados’s castle. From there we landed close by.
It was then that I felt a vibrating in the back of my breeches. It was the golden disc. Alexandra the Huntress krept out of the edge of the rubble.
Griffen stiffened at the sight of her. Alexandra’s eyes were on fire.
“Did you acomplish your mission Griffen?”
“He’s no longer your pet Huntress,” I spat as I stepped between them.
‘I suppose that he listens to you now,” I glared at her. “Well,” she said talking over my head, “If he knows what’s good for him, he will obey you. Tell him to give me the golden disc,”
“Why should I?”
“Why does it matter. You don’t even know what that disc does,” she retorted.
“But if you, Alexandra want it so bad, then it must be worth something,”
“If he doesn’t give it to me, then I will keep my promise,” Griffen hastily came forward.
“Give it to her Kel,” Alexandra smiled smugly.
“But Griffen,”
“Kel, if you love something, you will do everything to protect it,” he looked at me, his eyes pleading. I gave him the disc.
“Thankyou,” said Alexandra.
She climbed the rubble of Garados’s castle. Holding the disc high, she closed her eyes. Warm light rushed down fro the heavens, engulfing her with light. Swirls of blue and green moved round and round. The Huntress disapeard and the goddess before us.
“Why the ruse?” asked Kalob. “We would have jsut given it to you,” he said bluntly. Slowly the half transparent goddess came down the rubble.
“It was to test your love and trust for each other as well as other people. Not to mention that I can’t change back into the goddess without the disc. Garados is a wizard but also a theif and a trickster. The golden disc gives me extra power to transform me into a human. But without it I can’t change back. Garados, cunningly stole it form me in hopes of keeping me away. But he was fool enough to hid it in plain sight where a farmer found it. Consequently when Garados found the farmer, he had to burn the whole village. Garados cannot enter a holy temple,” Her voice, a laugh echoed. “I am still annoyed at how foolish he is, though it is funny,” She closed her eyes for amoment. “Genri has Garados. He is not far from here. I suggest that we go before it is to late,”

Monday, August 20, 2007

I slept for many days. Without the magic, my body healed much slower. I woke up four days later with my mother sitting next to me, which lead me into another fit of tears..She held me tight.
“It’s not your fault love,” she said stroaking my hair. I clung to her as never before. I felt so valnurable without the crystal. It had become my life.
“what will we do mother. Without the power of all five of the crystals, we are not match against Gebri and Garados,”
“You will find a way Kel,” she said.
“I’m so afraid,” my shoulder shuddered.
“You have every right to be. They are both very powerful wizards, but you have light and love on your side. You will win,”
“I still don’t know how?”
“Be patient. In time it will come to you,” then she left me and I fell back into a deep sleep.
I woke again a few days leter. Someone had drew back the curtains to let the sunshine in. I sat up looking out the window. THe guys were out playing a ball game.
“Are you hungry?” asked my Granfather as I walked in. I let him sit down on the edge of the bed. “They’re pretty good at that game,”
“Yes,”
“Hey you’re better,” said Mathyus as he and the other came in through the door.
“I’ll be back for the dishes,” said Grandfather.
“How are you feeling?” asked Jess as he came and sat down next to me. He gave me a side squeeze.

“ Like all of the energ has been saped out of me,” I touched the dull crystal on my chain.
“There has to be a way to get the powers back,” Griffen said.
“Mother said that the idea would come if I waited,”
“Do we have the time?” asked Kalob.
“The only way the block can be opened is with our crystals. Gebri needs all of them for it to work,” Griffen said.
“Let us hope he doesn’t come back for them,” I said solomly.
I spent the day wandering the hills of the island searching for an answer to my problems, but nothing came. I thought that maybe if I looked into my soul I would find the answer. But when I did, I found myself only at the mountain inside my soul. Was my soul trying to tell me something? Was the answer in the mountains?
So I stayed there pondering over why my soul told me to come here.
All night I watching mountains. Then in morning, the sun came out. Sitting up and streching, trying to get the kink out of my neck from sleeping outside, I saw the rays peaking through the clouds. They hit the farthest mountain top which in turn reflected off the other mountains. Could this be what my soul was trying to tell me? Light could defeat the evil. That had to be it.
Walking down the mountain, I began thinking about how the light streamed through the mountains like that.
“The mountains are beautiful in the morning,” said a voice which startled me out of my deep thought.
“Oh Grandfather you startled me,”
“So sorry. What were you doing here so early?”
“My soul told me to go to the top of the mountain and I would find out how to defeat the evil,”
“And did you?”
“Yes, the light trail,”
“Oh you saw the reflecting llight off the mirrors. That is a wonderful sight,”
“If I can make a light trail like this one, I may be able to vanquish the evil,”
“I hope you succeed Kel,” We continued down the mountain path to Grandfather’s house.
I was now ready to go after my father.
***
“Did you find what you were looking for?” my mother asked me that night.
“I need to make a light trail to defeat Garados, but I still don’t quite know how to make a light trail,”

“You saw the mirrors on the mountains making the path,”
“Yes,”
“That light path is physical. I think that what you are looking for is more spiritual than physical, something that comes from all of your hearts,”
“But how?”
“You all have love for someone or something. Light comes out of that love. When you consentrate all of your magic, together you make a light trail,”
“We have to go after Garados together to be able to create this trail,”
“Yes,”
“But my magic? It still hasn’t come back,”
“Go back to the mountain once more. Listen to your heart,” and she vanished into a ball of light,”
***
“Even if we have the light trail, it doesn’t help us find Garados,” Kalob said exasperated. He and the others were arguing the plans as we went up to the mountain. They would always ask for my advice, but I shrugged them off. I was still in deep thought. I wanted quiet. I didn’t care about Garados right now.
“Guys,” I said trying to get their attention, “Guys,” a bit louder, “Guys!” I shouted. All head turned towards me. “Can you just be quiet for a moment,” I continued to walk up the mountain. No one spoke.
The air up here is so fresh and I drank it all up. I found a place to sit and meditate. I had completely forgotten about the boys.
“Where has my magic gone?” I asked my soul.
“Where do you think?” it asked.
“My father has it,”
“That answer seems to be the most logical, but are you sure?”
“Where else could it go?”
“Magic cannot be taken from someone. Their powers may be borrowed for awhile, or a spell put on them suppressing that power, but it is not gone. But what is magic? Where does it come from?”
“It comes from my heart, from my love,”
“As long as you are still using that love, you have your magic. You lost your hope when you found out abot your father. That dispare made you feel as if you lost your power,”
“My powers were being held down with my sadness?”
“I think if you find out why you are upset your powers would reamerge,” my soul said.





A door sprung up. A gold plate said THE UPSETTING ROOM. I opened it to find shelves pilled up with memories of something being upsettinf to me. Some of the labels had the word ‘passed’ written over them. At the very end of the hall, the memory of my father and mother being taken and feeling defeated kept my heart heavy.
“Al least Garados can’t be released. I should be happy about that. My heart lightened when I finally realized that to be true. People were not being hurt by him and that brought me great joy. The memory glowed orange and the word ‘passed’ appeared on the memory. A tingle crept up my arm and into my heart. I could feel the crystal tugging at my heart again. I felt some of that magical connection. It was then that I knew that I didn’t fail my mother. I had captured Garados which is what she wanted. I knew that she lived and my guilt for not staying and helping her fight was lifted as well. Most of my power returned, but I still coldn’t shake the uneasiness that I felt towards my father. But I knew that I was still weak. My heart hadn’t healed all the way.
“Kel you are glowing,” Mathyus said when I came back.
“Part of my power has returned,”

PART 4

Lessionia was clever. She knew that he would find her. It was inevitable. He wanted Garados,but she hadn’t succeeded in capturing him. Garados skuled away leaving no trail or clues for Lessionia to find. Lessionia gave up after searching for Forty years. That was when she found Gebri in the woods.
But now with the dogs going tense and growling, she knew that it was too late. She had to get Kel and Jess out.
He came himself, but he stood on the hilltop watching his minionsdo the dirty work. The trees shaded his face so all that Lessionia could see was his lower torso and legs. Lessionia wanted to know what his face looked his face looked like. Now that the kids had gone she would be able to stop the mysterious man. Who was he and what right did he have to order an angel around?
The house was crushed in a matter of minutes. The animals fled in the forest.
“Lessionia, have you’ve forgotten our agreement?” he asked.
“I searched for forty years and found no trace of Garados,”
“So, that doesn’t mean tha you stop looking for him,”
“I wasn’t going to search for him my entire life,”
“Angels live forever Lessionia. You have endless time to look for him,”
“We pardon me for wanting to forget that part of my life. And is it so terrible to want to have a family?”
“Yes, but now you forfit Kel for not giving me Garados. I gave you back tthe crystals and the elixer for Garados,”
“The elixer didn’t work,”
“Was it my fault that you were late Lessionia? If I didn’t give you the elixer then Gebri would have died. I saved his life,”
“Gebri was a monster. Maybe it might have been better if he died. Gardos would have been gone then too,”
“But it is all too late. Where is Kel?”
“Safe, and you will never find her,”
“No one can hid from me,”
“Kel is smart. She would sense who you are,”
“But who am I? Even you don’t know Lessionia,”
“The show yourself,”
“Not just yet,”
Three tigers charged at Lessionia. She used her angelic powers to rise above them. They jumped into the air trying to get her legs.
“Using angelic powers.Tsk, Tsk,” with a wave of his fingers Lessionia fell to the ground where the female tiger held down on Lessionia’s chest.
“Why do you fight for him?” Lessionia asked the tiger. Angels have the gift of tongues.
“Because we get fed,”
“Just hunt,”
“We can’t,” said the male.
“No one taught us,” the third implied.
“Well what are you waiting for!” shouted the strange man. “Kill her!”
“Will you teach us how to hunt?” asked the female again.
Lessionia nodded. The three tigers let her stand up.
“Don’t trust animals to do your bidding. They may only do it because they are hungry, but when given the opportunity, that can change,”
“ That may be true for tigers, but I have other who are more faithful,”
But in that instant, in a flash of light, Lessionia disapeard with the tigers.

more story


We were close to reaching the island of Zarkesh. The night before we were to land I had Garados’s block out in front of me. He was sulking on the inside, arms crossed, and back turned.
“Where is my mother?”I asked. Garados didn’t say anything. “Where is she?” I almost yelled, but Garadose stayed silent.
We got to Zarkesh the next morning. Getting off we headed towards the river. All the while, Garados’s block weighted down my heart, and I felt the eyes of the crew on my back, but what got me was the captain’s. I felt a pull on Garados’s block. The captain had been looking for a chance to ake Garados. I spun around glaring at the captain.
“If you want him come and get him,” The captain didn’t move but smiled maliciously. My friends stood ready to battle.
“You’re on Garados’s side,” The captain kept smiling. Then he pulled on the block, but it fel in the sand. Raising his arms he began to pull it again towards him, but I stopped it. A tug of wa had begun. Five of us against one of him. But soon it was to just be one on one. He over powered them and held them in balance.
“Who are you?” I yelled over the water.
“I’m a sea wizard Kel,”
“How do you know my name?”
“You’re part of my loins, my flesh. You’re my daughter Kel,”

My consentration was lost and my father had Garados.
“You will fail just like your mother did Kel. You will end up like her,”
“Why?” I said sith tears running down my face.
“I had and offer I couldn’t refuse,”
“Let me help you,” I pleaded with him, my face now wet with tears, “Give me Garados, please father,” But he just stared at me until his gaze brought me down to my knees. He had complete control over my body. I could no longer move. He began to close in.
“Tell your guardians to give me their crystals and no harm shall come to you,” a voice echoed in my head.
“Never,” I said
“So be it,” His grip tightened and I was lifted into the air. My friends could do nothing to help me.
“Lessionia, come out and save your flesh and blood,”
A light shown and down came my mother.
“I knew that you couldn’t just stand by and watch your daughter die,” my father said.
“You would kill your own ddaughter ust so you can rule over all. Do you think Garados will grant you this if you set him free. How can you be so blind. I may not be able to save you from evil, but Kel can. Release her or suffer the consequences of the almightly ones. Gebri, you know that I will do everything in my power to stop you. If our daughter is the key to do that, then I have no choice but to kill you,” my mother said.
Gebri stared at her, his grip on me still strong. Jess began to run towards me now that the spell was lifted from him, but my mother held him back. Gebri let me go, but turned onto my mother who vanished into the light.
“Remember daughter, you are safe for now, but sooner of later you will come to get Garados back. I will wait patiently, then snatch the stones, taking over the world along side my master,” his voice echoed in my head. Gebri’s ship sailed away leaving us watching on the beach. Jess put his arms around me as I watched the ship disapear. But I slid out of his arms and I walked up the beach to the river. My mother was on this island and she was the only one who could help us.
I was the first who saw my grandfather’s house ontop of the hill. His was the farthest from the village. Grandfather was slumped in his chair on the porch, sleeping. I went and kneeled at his feet and put my head into his lap. when I looked up, he was looking down at me.
“It seems the torch had been passed,” he said. The boys hung back on the front steps of the porch.
“You also brought the stray ones just like your mother,”
“Grandfather, where is she?”
“Can’t you feel her Kel? She’s in the wind and the mountains. Her pressance is strong here,” I slowly shook my head and looked down at his feet.
“He took your powers didn’t he?” I heard a gasp from one of the boys. Grandfather lifted up my face so my eyes were level to his. Then he looked at my crystal which was dull in color. A tear rolled down my face.
“Oh love,” and he embraced me. I silently cried. “You are tired. Come and rest inside. “Well you too,” he said when my friend hung back, “ I’m not going to bite,”

Oh Lucie, I wrote more story for you.



Jess and I became singers. Kalob played the lute, Mathyus played the flute and Griffen took care of all our belongings. He was so pleased. (he,he) It wasn’t my fault that he refused to play an instrument, so he became the manager and that is what they do.
“How much farther?” asked Kalob who was frantically learning how to play the lute, and quite frankly he was freaking out.
“Not much farther,” I said back to him, “why?”
“You know perfectly well that I can’t play this instrument,” I giggled. “It isn’t funny,” he said.
“Try this,” I said as I walked back to him handing him a vial. “It will allow you to play the instrument without failing perfection. It will be as if youo have playing since you were a child,”
“Will this really work,” he said doubtful.
“That’s what my mother said,” Kalob took the vial and drank a drop. “Now try playing,” I encouraged him. Kalob took up the lute and he began to play like a songbird.
“Thanks Kel,”
Walking to the sea took many days and many nights of sore, swollen feet, and festering blisters which were easily cured with Jess’s plant herbs. We walked through the valleys, hills, swamps, and forests. But within five days we arrived and the coast and just in view was the port where we would be getting onto a boat.
It was a crowed. The port was like a bowl and the people inside were the soup spilling over. Hollaring was heard throughout as wares were trying to be sold. Chamber pots were being spilled out of windows splattering anyone who got too close. Animals, carts, and people were creating such a ruckus.
“We need to find the ship that is going to Zarkesh,” shouted Jess over the noise.

“I found a ship,” said Griffen using his powers. “We need to get to the fifth dock by noon,” That was easier said then done. The pushing of people and animals, not to mention watching your feet so that you don’t step in something disgusting, made us late for boarding. Once there, we showed the captain our passes and went aboard.
Our room were very small. The boys shared a room next to mine. When we were settled, all five of us went up onto the deck.
It was only later that I noticed that the crew was acting a bit strange. They tried not to watch as I passed them, but their whole process slowed down.
“Something is going on,” I whispeard to Jess. He didn’t believe me or any of the other guys.
I was warry of using my magic, and I found myself doing thing manually. But it wasn’t until I caught a rat in my room that I found out about the whole truth.
“Please don’t tell the captain that you found me. I would be flogger for sure if found out I got caught when I was told to stay out of sight,”
“The captain told you to spy on me, but why?”
“I don’t know. He just siad that I I watched you, that I would be given more money when everyoe got paid,”
“I’ll keep your secret. Let us continue as we were. Keep spying on me and going back to the captain.If he says anything of value, give me a heads up, agreed,”
“Agreed,” he said still standing in the room.
“Oh all right. I’ll give you something for now, but don’t expect something everytime. I’m not made of money you know. I’m just a simple musician,” I said handing him a coin.
That night I told the guys, under a spell of silence, what was happening.
“But what would the captain want with us?” asked Kalob.
“He must know something about us, but what could it be?” Jess asked.
“Shh, I hear footsteps outside,” I said quietly. They came by the door pausing for a second and then resuming their walk.
“Now we know that we need to keep on out toes,” said Griffen.

Winnie and Jesse

Jesse Tuck

Jonathan Jackson

Tuck Everlasting

I just watched Tuck Everlasting and even though I have seen it about five times, I still get very emotional. But that is what usually happens to me when I watch a love story. I was screaming to the tv when the colonel mustard was coming to destory the beautiful happiness of Jesse and Winnie. Why can't people just butt out of other peoples lives. The stink pots have to ruin everything and it isn't fair. But I suppose that if the stink pots weren't there, then their wouldn't be a story. I wish that all love stories could end happily. But then that would get boring. Katherine is over and is making me laugh while writing this. She is driving me crazy like usual, which is great.

Harry Potter

I have finished the new book a few days ago and was so excited because all of the loose ends were tied up, but also sad because now there wouldn't be any more books coming out.

I really liked the part where Harry looks into Snape's memories. I couldn't believe that Dumbledore knew what the outcome would be it Snape killed him. Rowling made Snape seem to be a bad guy, but he was only doing it on Dumbledore's orders. I want to know how Snape could keep up that double agent thing going on. You would think that Voldemort would notice. You also get to see that Snape was a caring person but that part of him was broken when Lily started to move away from him. But yet he still cared for here enough to plege his life to protect Harry, even though Harry stood for all that Snape hated. Rowling just makes Snape seem to have more depth then he did before.

I was also excited to finally read that Ron and Hermine kissed. I had to wait how many years to see that coming. I also had a huge hunch that Harry and Ginny would end up together. They were involved way too much not to be.

And when they are fighting, that was really good. Her descriptions were just enough to see what was going on. I thought that it would be very hard to pretend to be dead. But Harry seemed to manage it very well. Now if Voldemort was as strong as he said he was, wouldn't he be able to tell that Harry wasn't dead? But I suppose that he was so thrilled that he was finally gone that he didn't pay to much attention to the fact that he wasn't. He put his guard down. The only thing I didn't like to much was when Voldemort died. It was just really fast. I figure that because all of the other battles lasted fairly long, that this one would to.

Send me your thoughts on what I talked about or something else that really interested you.

We're back

We got back today at around 4ish. Sarah came back with us too. She decided not to stay a whole extra week. Nothing else happened the rest of the week. We watched movies and other tv shows. I got some cool clothes from the stores and from grandma. I never have to buy heals ever because I can just get them from her. I got four new pairs and I will have to show everyone. I probably have already told most people this in the last post, but I guess everyone will have to hear it again.

Tomorrow vbs starts and I will have to get up early for an entire week, just like I was going to school. I don't relish the thought. But I get to eat food and stay outside. That can't be that bad. It is only for the morning anyway so that won't be so bad. But of course, we have to pick up afterwards, so we might be there a little longer but that is part of the job. Maybe if it is hot enough we might be able to go swimming at Mimi's pool. That would be fun.

P.S.

I guess that I am a blabber mouth. And another thing, I have just realized how eminem has a really bad mouth. Just listen to The real slim shaddy. His mouth needs to be washed out with soap.

Sexy Witch (Ohio trip)

We are in Wapokaneta, Ohio. It is about one hour east of the capital columbus. We are staying at our great aunt and uncles house. So far I've gotten to watch more tv on channels that we can't get and I have read more non stop than I would have at home. I have also started a water melon ponch as well.

So far it has been unbareable hot here. Just today it has actually gotten cool enough to open the windows or to even sit outside. Today I have mostly read and I am almost down with the book, but I needed a break so I decided to write something while I have a computer.

Let see, when we left on friday we got to grandma's house at about threeish, and had lasana. ( I know that that is not how it is spelled, but I am too lazy right now to get a dictionary to correct it.) We saw uncle craig and on saturday uncle david came. He had been in Iraq for three years. He has been home for about a year now. He showed us pictures and some things that he brought back. They were really cool.

Sunday we left for Wapok and Sarah had her last day of fun because this week and next week she will be working for the family florist. She is haveing fun which is good, but it is really weird not seeing her during the day except for lunch. Which means that Katie and I have been annoying each other.

Monday Katie and I went swimming, when she got creeped out by a foursome of older teens. One of which looked like wade's reencarnate and the other the sideburn guy from sarah's school. I enjoyed laughing at her because she was acting funny. We only stayed an hour because we forgot the sunscreen. Luckily on the walk back, I didn't get fully dried because then it would have been just as hot as it was when we walked over there. The library is also within walking distance and we have gotten movies from there too.

Tuesday we watched this movie on the disney channel called the thirteenth year. I had seen the comercials for the movie and Katie being just her lovely self said that the movie looked stupid. And by the end of the movie she said that it wasn't as stupid as "we" thought. To which dad said and stupid as who thought. I have also found out that I like the tv show called life with dereck. That show reminds me way to much of me and my sisters which in some ways is disturbing and others not so much. Dereck is more of a pain in the neck than I am. Now that shows something, and when he acts out of character it is really funny.

Today is wednesday I believe. For some reason Katie is throughly annoyed at the boys that live in the neighborhood and hang out in the lot behind the house. They like to talk to girls in words with honey and funny things like that. Of course when Katie glares at them and tries to do anything strange like that it just makes them do it more. Boys are weird. Anyway I told her that the best way to deal with that is to just ignore them because what they really want is your attention. I had more fun laughing at her than the guys who were trying to get our attention. Good thing that I am older than all of them and I have to notion to just smile and ignore them when they decide to say anything to us. I truly wonder sometimes if guys really have ever seen girls because they act really strange around them when they are that little. I think that they just want to be pests.

We are living here on saturday and going back to grandma's house before we got home. I got really cool shoes from grandma that I can't wait to wear. I have these wicked purple heals that would look great with a witches dress. I have an idea in my head, but I think that I will do is sometime in future halloweens because I have all ready bought a pattern for this year. But I could always make two costumes and wear the more normal on around when ever and the witch one on halloween. We shall see. The purple shoes would only work in my mind with a short skirt. For some reason the only way I can think of describing the dress would be a sexy witch, but that really isn't it. Maybe if I could find a pattern then I would be able to describe it better.

Oh lucie, while I have been here, I have gotten some ideas for my story. I haven't done much but brainstorming the ideas that I have picked up from the tv and my dreams. I figured out that I probably should do much with the story because I don't have the whole thing because it is on the computer at home. I might accidently write something that doesn't make sense, so I will wait until I am home before I write it on the blog.

The amount of time that I don't use reading is lookinag out the window to see who is coming by on bikes or in the cars. So far there is a couple of boys that might work at the pool because I see them come down the street and got back up a similar times each day. One of them is drop dead gorgeous with his orangish blond hair. I couldn't help but follow them with my eyes as they biked down the street and out of my vision. Maybe I will be lucky and catch them coming back.

If sara is reading this then we have to talk when I get back because I have had, well how shall I put this, but a unusual experience with my new code word Dymicode. I think that I will leave it at that and if you read this your excitement will be up and I will drive you off the edge of curiocity. He, he I am really evil arn't I.

I hope this blog greets everyone in good time and give you all a bit of laughter. see you when I get back.

I really Tried

I really tried to write more of my story, but we had so many things to do to get ready, and by the time I was done, it was 11 at night. I needed sleep. I am going to bring the story though, and write more while I am there in ohio. Sorry readers. So now I have to write and extra good story.

Tomorrow I get to stay home and sleep in. I don't have any school. But I do have to study for a test for thursday. I only have four more classes left in my spanish class and then I am free for the summer. I can't wait until then.

Today we went swimming at the high school, and I think that a combination of that and the sun has made me tired. My eyes feel so heavy and I want to go to sleep right now, but I can't because I am watching dinner at the same time that I am writing this. To those who know what the hosue looks like, they might think that this is crazy because I have to run from one place to another. I suppose that I do it enough that I don't mind. We are have philly cheese steak sandwiches tonight, which hopefully they will taste good.

Nothing that exciting has happened today, sarah had some friends over and I drove everyone to the pool and then the libraries, which was my choice. All I can say is that with me and libraries, I am like a kid in a candy store. I have to have everything and I can't let anything wait because then maybe it won't be there. See how crazy I am. But this time I managed to control myself and I only got movies out and not any books because I have three that I have yet to crack.

I hope that it cools down because I really feel tired and out of it when it gets this hot. I just want to keel over. Maybe tomorrow won't be so hot.

Hot!

I don't know about you, but I really want to swim in a pool right now because I am dying in this heat. I could go in the sprinkler if I wanted to, which I think I will. The snow pea plants, in the garden, have snow peas on them. I think on thursday we will use them in our dinner. And after I wrote all of this, KT is making fun of me. Kyo is so mean.

Here is a random thought. For those that I will see on Friday, I have a surprise for them as well as the ones that I see on Saturday, but the surprise benefits me more than everyone else, lets just say that it is more of a shocking surprise. Some, I hope all, will like it, but since it is my doing, no one can stop me. Bwa ha ha ha. Anyway I'm going to cool off.

Deer Chasing

I got to chase a deer out of the yard all day yesterday. The baby was in our yard that morning and the mother kept coming back to find her baby. I yelled at her, ran after her, chased her with the mower, because I also mowed the lawn that morning, and threw rocks at her. Now I haven't seen her at all. I think that she found her baby or she gave up. This deer was not afraid of me unless I got with five feet of her, and she was big. She walked two feet in front of the house on the grass between the garden and the house. It was kind of scary to see a deer that close. I'm just happy that she is gone, because I think that she is the one that was eating our plants. I really hate deer. If I could hunt them any time I wanted, she would be dead and made into food. It would probably last for months because deer are so big.

10:45 Jackass Hour

I'm driving home from school and I have my BLINKER on and I am slowing going into the lane after I checked the mirror and looking over my shoulder. Then this jackass out of my view comes into the lane almost right next to me, almost clipping the car in front. He had no blinker on and he buzzed in and out to the other side. I swear that if I wasn't alone that someone might have broken ears for a second. But at least I had some sense just to think it instead of saying it. I did everything that I was suppose to and this guy not caring at all comes in like a crazy idiot. I wanted to strangle that guy so bad. Arggg!!!!!!! I get so frustrated at people sometimes.
For my faithful readers, another part to this ever going story.


We looked in my mother’s books to see if and where there could be two mountains of that description. None of the maps that my mother had told us nothing. All the mountain ranges were too small. The mountains had to be tall because in the picture there was snow all over. That was when I decided to look at other lands besides our own. Maybe my grandparents were from an island to the south or from the fridged land to the north.
“I wonder,” I said out loud, “ If we knew what the ring was made out of, that maybe that would give us a clue to where the mountains are. Which would help us find where my grandfather lives,” I let that idea float around for awhile, esuming my map searching until Kalob spoke.
“ My friend Mallock is a smith. He might be able to give me an answer,” I passed the ring to him.
“Go quickly so we may find my mother,” Kalob raced out the door and took to flight. “I hope he hurries, I have a feeling that something bad is coming,” I mumbled low enough so no one could hear.
After eating, I managed to find enough room in the small house for all of us to sleep. When I felt satisfied with the arrangment, I went to find a piece of wood to create another figureen to go with the other ones that survied the tumble out. Some were broken, but the ones that weren’t to bad I could fix. Unlike the other times, when I knew exactly what I wanted to carve, nothing came to my mind. I couldn’t figure out what kind of animal the wood wanted to be. Instead I found myself carving something else. It started with a small house. Then I found another piece and another. The magic controlled my hands, putting the pieces in place. The small cottage sat in the middle of the village. Tall mountains covered with snow surounded the valley, but at the end were two mountains shaped like eagles.
My carvings continued. Trees sprung up alonf a riverbed that ran out of the valley along its floor. It continued to the sea where sea people lived deep in its depths. The shore was a clean white eith golden flecks sprinkled throughout. I continued to piece together the island until the carvings covered the table. It was as if I was in a trance because by the time Jess came down from the loft, I had recreated out the home land far across the sea.
“Kel, Kel, what are you doing? Jess said, but I couldn’t hear him, let alone stop carving. Then far away I heard Griffen.
“She is under a spell,”
“But how do we get her out of it?”
“We have to wait until she has created all that the spell requires of her,” Griffen replied to Jess.
“What happened,” I said clutching my head. Jess, Griffen, and Mathyus stood around me.
“You were under a spell,” said Griffen. “It looks as if you have created a three dimensional map,”
“The eagle moutains!” I rushed back to the table where the three dimensional map started.
“This is where the eagle mountains are,” said Mathyus.
“Here,” I said pointing to them. “This is my mother’s home. This must be the way to get there,”
“But it would be nice if we had a name of something, so we know where to go from here,” Jess said.
“ The ring is made out of Zarconian metal,” Kalob said bursting through the door out of breath.
“Zarconian metal. Zarconian’s are famous for their jewlry,” Griffen said.
“The island of Zarkesh,” I said. “ Zarkesh. My mother often would say that word, but I never knew what she was talking about. Mostly it was about some spell that needed a plant from there,”
“But how do we get there?” asked Kalob.
“Well in her spare time, Kel made us this,” said Mathyus and we stepped away from the map.
“Here we are and we need to gat across the sea to the island of Zarkesh. Then we follow the river to the valley and to the village,”
“But what are we going to do with Garados. Yes we have him in the obcedian block, but couldn’t he get out?” asked Kalob.
“No one can escape from the obcedian block,” said Griffen. “Only the one who put him in there can release him,”
“Which is something that I am not going to do,” I said. “We have to take him with us,”
“How are we going to get there? If we fly, I’m sure someone will notice. And besides, that would help us get into the city. They have that all blocked off to magic. If spotted, you get taken off,” said Griffen.
“Perhaps we can get on a ship disguised as musicans that are going to entertain the king,” suggested Jess with a twinkle in his eyes.

More story

I have another part of my story done, for those who have been reading it. I finally have had time to write it up. Enjoy!



Part 3

We decided that flying would be better than walking though the woods, but Griffen, Mathyus, Kalob didn’t know how to fly. So instead of leaving the village right away, Jess and I gave them lesson. So as we started the lessons, Horitori said goodbye and left for his empire.
Jess had the guys in the field. I saw Horitori saddled up onto his horse. I parted from my friends to say goodbye.
“Horitori....., wait,” I called. He looked down from his horse. I rose up slightly so that I could look at his face. “Thank you,” I said giving him a hug. He smiled as I let go. He turned his head and squeezed his horse’s flanks. He disapeard into the woods.
It didn’t take long to teach them how to fly. And in no time we were ready. At midday we took flight.
I was so excited to be going home. I knew that my mother was alive, and if there was any way to find her, it was to go back home. I felt a piece of her alive in myself. If she was gone, than that part would have withered away. But as we got closer to my home, my heart didn’t want to face what I would see. I knew the house wasn’t going to be the same as when I left.
The house was in shambles, the door pushed in. Landing in a heap, I lept up and ran towards the house but stopped at the door frame. Chairs were turned about, the table laid askew with a leg broken. Cubboards were open and the dishes were pulled out broken on the floor. Glass littered the floor. Picking my way through the mess, I made it to my mother’s room. She told me that if anything happened to her, to look under the chinese dragon. Her room was like the rest of the house; sheets and blankets pulled dresser drawers tipped over and clothes pulled out.
“Kel?” said Jess as he and the rest of the guys entered the house.
“Find a chinese dragon,” I said as I began to search frantically.
“A chinese dragon?” asked Kalob.
“My mother said that if something happened to her, that I was to look under the chinese dragon,” My hair flew as I bent up and down trying to search through the items scattered on the floor.
A golden glint caught my eye. In the corner of the room was a golden figureen. It was under a tipped drawer.
“Someone help me lift this up,” I said. “ I see something,” Griffen, Kalob and Jess pulled the drawer up.
Then reaching back, I pulled out a golden chinese dragon. It was a ring my mother wore on a chain. Turning it over I inspected its inside. An engraving said To a love so spirited. The rest was rubbed to much to read except for four letters igBr
“To a love so spirited igBr,” said Mathyus.
“What’s inBr?” asked Jess who I had handed to ring to.
“If we can figure out what letters are missing than I think I will be able to understand what it means,” I said.
“Cleanasio,” I whisperd. The room put itself back together. I continued with the rest of the house until it was all back in order.
I left the guys in the house and went into the barn. The barn was all together. All the animals were gone, but at least the building was still entact.
“Mew, mew,”
“Strawberry?” Strawberry came out of the straw. “My baby. You’re safe now. Hey what do you have in your mouth?” It was a picture of my mother with my grandfather on their mountain home. “That’s it,” Scooping Strawberry up, and putting the picture in my pocket, I ran back to the house.
“I lnow what the ring says,” I said excitedly. “ To a love so spirited is my mother being compared to her mountain home. Grandpa used to tell me about how my mother was as spirited as the mountaind. The lettering spells Big Bear. That’s what she called him when she was little. My mother is telling me to go to my grandfather in the mountains,” They all stared at me.
“You figured this out how?” Griffen asked.
“ This,” I took the picture out from my pocket showing it to him. “Stawberry had it in her mouth. Stawberry gave a mew.
“But where is this place? asked Mathyus.
“Mother said she lived in a velley between two peaks. a pair of eagles she said staring and standing guard at the velley’s mouth,”
Not much of a clue,” said Kalob.
“She never told me any more in case someone else should come to know,” I said.
“Then I guess that we should find out more about the mountains that look like a pair of eagles staring and standing guard,” Jess said.

Mulching

Today is mulching day and we have gotten six truck loads to cover all of our trees in the back yard. Now I am sore. The only good thing about mulching, is in between drives to the place where we get it, I get to read my book, Wizard Heir, whih apparently is second book in the series. I hope that I can find it in the library because if this one is good, the other one has to be.

The sun has been glorious today. It is just the perfect temperature. Yesterday was terrible. It was just so hot. I went riding and I thought that I would die. I did get to learn how to pull a horses hair. They don't have nerves in their mane so you can pull out the hair by the roots to shorten it or thin it. I might go today to help, but I am tired from all of the mulching this morning, I might just stay home and read, or I could bike to the library. That would be fun.

I have to pick up my shoes today because their heels fell off and I had them fixed. I hope they will work well. They are one of my favorites.

gtg,

Painting Fences

Today I went to the barn to help paint the ring fence for the competition. It started out okay, but after painting not even a quarter of the fence in two hours, you start to go slow. By the end of the time that we worked, I had this black oil based paint on my boots, pants, shirt, skin, and a bit on the wisps of my hair. And because it is oil based, the only thing that could get it off our skin was the paint thinner. So we mixed the thinner with water and washed the paint off ourselves. I came home and tried to get more off, but I think that I am going to have it on for awhile until it wears off. But after we worked, we got to ride, which is the whole point. We were going to go on a trail ride, but the rain came faster than we could go, so we round inside. Now the barn has a tin roof where we ride in the indoor. It poured so loud that we couldn't even hear each other. All we could see were our mouths moving, but because of the rain we couldn't hear anything. It was terrible, but we managed, and it did stop every once and a while. I went over five jumps in a row, some were okay, others could be worked upon, but it was my first time doing this type of diagonal jumping. (Not to mention that the ring was slippery in spots because the owner turned water on in the rink and forgot to turn it off. The air dries the dirt, so if the ring is not watered, than it gets hard to breath with dust being kicked uup by the horses. Trust me, I know very well. I had a coughing fit once that refused to stop. But all went well. One day we will be able to go on a trail ride, and until then, I will be happy just riding, because that is what I love to do.

Washing the Front of the House

Today I got to try out my new bathing suite on and wash the front of the house. But boy was it hot out. It is that muggie heat that doesn't go away. I wish I had a pool to go in right now. I was thinking about going in the sprinkler, but I still have to find it. I didn't find it in the shed, so there is a chance that when we clean out the garage for Sarah's party that we might find it. But for right now, I am satisfied in the house.

My Bottle Whines

It is a beautiful day outside, though I think that it should be warmer. I am ready for it to be really warm. It better be warm by my birthday. Anyway, I turned in all my essays for both of my classes and it feels as if a huge wait has been lifted off of my chest. It feels great to be done with two of my classes. All I have left is to study for my botany test on the 21st. I am so happy that I am almost done.

My bottle whines after I drink out of it. I think it is from the water getting stuck or the air. But it always sounds weird. I have no idea why I said that, but its there.

There is a certain someone that must pass a certain test, or there will be a bone to pick. Under no circumstances must this person fail or I'm not sure what, but something will happen. I just have to think of something. On a flyier I could have all of the side effects written in small print, but that thing doesn't really work that well on a blog. I'll have to pester this certain someone for revenge because that is all I can think of for the moment. Dead Meat! On another note, another certain someone has to continue writing on her blog. Why? Because I said so!

School

I start my summer session on the 29th of may, and I still somewhat regret taking a summer class, because it will be nice and I will have to be inside instead of outdoors. Yuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Two Days Left Of School!

Sarah and I are hoping that all of us can go tot the festival tonight, but that all depends on if she gets her homework done. Luckily I have gotten all mine done including the three essays which I am going to turn in on thursday. I hope that the english ones are at least B rated material. If I can get that, then I know that I can get at least a B in the class. I know in my history class that I have an A. He gave us back the points that we have. I have 705 over 700. An A in that class you have to have 648 points. I am well over it and I wouldn't have to do the last essay, but I said what the heack. If I get good points on that, my homework, and the quiz that we are going to have on thursday, than I will certainly get to at least 750. It would be so much easier if he didn't have the point system. I still don't know how to calculate it. I just hope that he didn't make a mistake in his addition. Even though I really like that class, and probably will miss it, I am ready for this semester to be over. I just have to hold in for two more days, and the final on the 21st. But then I have a summer class. Yuck. I can't believe that I would want to do that.

Today it is so beautiful. But I haven't been outside at all today. I got home at 1 and have been doing schoolwork ever since. So I am going to say goodbye so I can enjoy this weather.

Adios,

Alejandra

Orchid Debt

Today was gorgeous. It wasn't too hot or too cold. It was jsut right. (I sound like goldie locks) After I came home from school, I stayed outside and read a book. But then I had to move to different spots because the sun kept moving in the sky and I became blinded by the white paper of the book. So eventually I gave up and just went back inside to read some more before I had to make dinner. But that wasn't the most exciting part of the day. This morning my botany class, for its last lab, went to see a guy who breeds orchids. It was very interesting. I got to see how they were pollenated and how to repot them. I also got to see differnent ones from around the world. My favorite ones were the lady slippers. They looked like a ballerina slipper. But they weren't really bright in color. I liked them for their shape only. The ones that were bright colors, were more appealing and I probably would want one of them in my house rather than the lady slippers which tend to be dark brownish colors with yellow mixed in. Did you know that some of the orchids in the world go for five thousand dollars! And there are people who will pay to have that plant. Apparently, the man who owns this place, said that people who breed orchids on the west coast will attract Japanese people who have that kind of money to spend on a plant, and are readily going to do that. Who would want to have, or even think about buying a plant for five thousand dollars? I certainly would be interested in buying something like that that could put me in debt. They are beautiful, but I don't think anything that beautiful is worth five thousand dollars. Well maybe my husband would be to me, if I got married.

Exhausted

For the past two days I have been working hard and I am tired completly through. I don't think that I will be able to move anymore. I'll be stuck in one spot forever. Basically all day long we have been doing yard work. I mowed the lawn and weed wacked it, we transplanted lillies, constructed beds and put them in, trimmed trees and clean a rabbit butt, (which isn't outside work, but that is what we did) So if anyone sees me bent over, they'll know why.

Today I learn how to use the weed wacker. It isn't really as hard as I thought it was. But if I use it enough I should grow some strength in my arms. The thing that is the most weirdest is the vibrating. It tickles. It is like that room that Leah and I were in that time in the library.

Got to go,
