I lurve to write and I lurve to comment on writing; if there is a particular work you want me to look at, don't be afraid to let me know and I would love to comment on it. Though I'm not a poet and, therefore, do not write poetry, I have knowledge of the basis of poetry and what has worked for great poets. In prose, I tend to mark on grammar, organization, and style. In return, I'm hoping about 20% of the ppl I check for will read at least part of and comment on my Sanctuary Dark . . . after I'm done doing MASSIVE edits XDDD!

Don't you agree that this is a great quote? ^^

"Today, when I awoke, I suddenly realized that this is the best day of my life, ever!

There were times when I wondered if I would make it to today; but I did!

And because I did I'm going to celebrate!
Today, I'm going to celebrate what an unbelievable life I have had so far: the accomplishments, the many blessings, and, yes, even the hardships because they have served to make me stronger.

I will go through this day with my head held high, and a happy heart.

I will marvel at God's seemingly simple gifts: the morning dew, the sun, the clouds, the trees, the flowers, the birds.

Today, none of these miraculous creations will escape my notice.

Today, I will share my excitement for life with other people. I'll make someone smile.

I'll go out of my way to perform an unexpected act of kindness for someone I don't even know.

Today, I'll give a sincere compliment to someone who seems down.

I'll tell a child how special he is, and I'll tell someone I love just how deeply I care for them and how much they mean to me.

Today is the day I quit worrying about what I don't have and start being grateful for all the wonderful things God has already given me.

I'll remember that to worry is just a waste of time because my faith in God and his Divine Plan ensures everything will be just fine.

And tonight, before I go to bed, I'll go outside and raise my eyes to the heavens.

I will stand in awe at the beauty of the stars and the moon, and I will praise God for these magnificent treasures.

As the day ends and I lay my head down on my pillow, I will thank the Almighty for the best day of my life.

And I will sleep the sleep of a contented child, excited with expectation because I know tomorrow is going to be the best day of my life, ever!"

KupoKay, so maybe not depressing, but por lo menos negative. Cool that you're optimistic about it though, that's really the only way to do it and keep your sanity.

That's cool. Yeah, on the 1 to 4 scale, there's just horrible, almost okay, fine, and good.

lol 2.5? Well buena suerte! Ha, apparently I'm in a Spanish mood today, which is actually kinda sad, cuz I actually had spanish class ayer, and then I couldn't focus on it at all. Like, we did stuff I normally wouldn't mind, but I just kept going "I don't want to think!"

Turns out it really really isn't a speech class. Everyone calls it that but it actually is a lot more about communication in everyday life than speech. Of course, I've heard it's more about speeches if you have a dif teacher, so maybe my class is just like that because Dulaney is too dumb to do anything but to go by the book and the book is communication, not speech.

Ironically enough though, I'm probably going to end up accomplishing through this class what I'd originally set out to, back when I thought it was more about speech; I'm gaining confidence. Today she was being like super uber double crazy, and I don't even want to get into that conversation, but in the end she gave me the personal assignment to read ch5 by myself and then teach it to the class. I'm going to refuse to do it if she doesn't give me extra credit or make the whole class do it, cuz otherwise that's just not fair, but I have to admit, I'm psyched. I'm so gonna show her up!

KupoWell it's good that you're done with a lot, but then somehow it always regenerates *sigh* Sorry, I'll stop being depressing now ^^'

That's cool. I've gotten 4s (best) on both of the writing TAKS tests I've taken, and I think 2 or 3 is average ^^ And last time I took one it was seventh grade, and I got a 2 on every single paper except one that we wrote in my english class that whole year XD

Yeah, always good to know before you dive into something like that, even if you'd do it regardless of actual EC amount. Yeah, actually I meant both of those. She had us sew a stuffed mole as in the mammal that lives underground because it's a joke about mol like the measurement.

lol that's cool. All my younger siblings are really mad that I want to go far. Like, hurt, kinda. They all want me and Ben (older brother) to stay really really close and visit every weekend or something but I'm just like "I'm touched that you care, but sorry" Seriously, it's sweet, really it is, but no. They really will enjoy my absence though, because when I move out they'll all have their own room for the first time ever.

I wouldn't really call it "beliefs." That's like saying I think pointlessness is morally wrong, and it does bug the crap out of me more than just about anything else in the world, but still, belief? idk.

IIRC I have done that once ever before, and it was during one class period late in the year of a bizarrely similar class to this one I took in 8th grade, just less subjective. Of course, that teacher, though a creepy huge lesbo coach, at least had some self respect even through her repetitive and weak arguments, and didn't threaten to write me up or call my mom. But then again, maybe she should've though. I was a lot more offensive and to blame on that one. No respect though. That class didn't care about anything, my argument didn't apply to them, they didn't hate Coach Smith as much as everyone hates Mrs. Dulaney, and my reputation by then had been long since established as the nerdy girl who drew.

You like having a little miss angel record? That's always bothered the heck out of me. Mostly though, because I feel like it's wrong. I usually stay way out of trouble, but that's uber boring, and I feel like I'm darker on the inside, more sarcastic than people realize.

Oh yeah, I get what you're saying about them trying to talk to you to. If you don't know them you'd just rather them leave you alone.

KupoOh wow!!! You do have your work cut out for you! two plays? and all that other stuff. You are insane. Good luck with all that.

What do you mean, what kind of competition? They get like the forty people or whatever from the various schools, give 'em a few essay topics and like an hour to write, and then later they grade em and say who did best. That's about all there is to it. You do well enough in any UIL thing and you get scholarship money, but I'm not sure how much or how well you hafta do to get it.

Essays. I was talking about teaching essays to people. It doesn't matter though.

Y'know I really doubt it. My teachers wouldn't care if I wrote a book. Well, if I wrote an epic I might get some English class EC, since that's what we're learning now, but even then, I don't know. She'd have to really believe it deserved the points. Unlike my chemistry teacher, who made it an extra credit project to sew together a little stuffed mole >.> lol (Get it, like chemistry moles? yeah.)

That's cool. Do whatever you want, whatever makes you happy ^^ And it's not that I really hate living with my parents -- well, I mean, sometimes I do but that's beside the point -- I just wanna break free. I have four siblings; I need the sense of identity.

Y'know what's awesome? I so totally went at it with my speech teacher earlier! It was a lot of fun. I hate that class cuz it's so totally pointless and I'm just like banging my head on the desk going "why do I have to be here?!" every day (required course. one semester. It's my fifth period so I have it last and every day, and by then I just want to go home) so today she was talking about leadership and we were taking notes, even though we read it straight out of the book like yesterday so I was uber bored so in the middle of her lecture I raise my hand and in a flat voice, totally emotionless face ask "Why are we learning this?" So she was like "Well cuz it's in the book, why wouldn't we?" so I said "Because this is speech class. What does leadership have to do with speeches? What are we supposed to get from this?" And she got all defensive about it and said the class is actually called Communication Applications, not speech, and started talking about how conflict management applies to real life or something, but I said the lesson didn't add up right and had no message or something like that and then right as she was about to start lecturing again I corrected a stupid mistake she'd made a few minutes before I started talking ("It's idiocy"--slight pause so that the perceptive might realize the irony and that I also mean to suggest her lesson is idiocy--"not idiocracy") She got so mad!! She said she wanted to see me after class and that she would write me up if it happened again XD Man I don't normally get in trouble like EVER but I'll stand proud for trouble like that. Got a lot of respect from the class for it too. Afterwards she called my mom and I had to try really hard not to laugh the whole time, but then my mom actually cared for some reason so that was kind of annoying. Of course, that might've been because Mrs. Dulaney totally distorted what happened and acted like I'd been all rude and impudent instead of calm in that way that's actually ten times more effective. So I couldn't even really say what happened over the phone cuz Dulaney was still right there and I wasn't gonna say what I thought of her and her side with her standing there. And then she accused me of lying and said my opinions were based on nothing! And my mom even made me apologize to her. and Mrs. Dulaney accused me of thinking I was above her/her class and I was like "yeah, pretty much. I'm sorry, but I'd rather be in a class where I'd actually learn something" so she was like "well, you have to be here" (me: "yeah, and you have to put up with me") "...and we could get along or we can have conflict" so I told her straight out "That's where we have different opinions. Basically, to me, you just said 'you can either be bored or debate me.' debate is what I do. sorry." and I left! Ha!! oh gosh she's gonna write me up but I don't care! Honestly I wouldn't mind having that experience anyway. Part of highschool right? It'd be weird if I missed out XD

Kupolol might help if you separated them into paragraphs like I do. Or maybe not, after all, I am the one who lost track of that one first... ^^'

Ooh I found out my class rank today! The grades from this year so far aren't included, but as of May last year, my GPA was 102.2105 and my class rank was 21 out of 741. Kinda lame, I figured my gpa would be higher and I was hoping that I'd be in the top ten people, but I guess I'll just have to work for it. It's good to know.

Yeah, it really would be pretty awesome to go see that.

UIL isn't a class, it's a specialized academic competition with other schools that you go do on Saturdays like once a month.

Well yeah, most decently smart people can, but they want to hone that and teach it to the people it doesn't come as naturally to.

Ooh that's kinda awesome! My teachers would never do that. I've even had a couple that don't believe in extra credit at all o_o That is rare though. Credito extra me gusta mucho.

Dude, no I wanna go somewhere far! I mean, it doesn't have to be NY far, but I wouldn't want to go to A&M or anything. No within an hour or twos. I want to totally break free and be my own person. I mean, sure I wanna live decently close afterwards and Texas is a pretty cool place to live, but for college no. And y'know also if it was really close it'd be really lame, and/but if it was just kinda close but still kinda far, well then it wouldn't even be far, just inconvenient. All the lame, leash-y feeling of home without the actual comfort and convenience. bleh.
