Daily Journal: The House was Made Of

The house was made of gummy bears and gram crackers. The front door was placed strategically in the center to catch the eye of on lookers. I was made out of frosting and outlined in licorice. The windows on the house, one on each side of the door, were outlined in licorice. Frosting on the bottom of the windows were designed to look like flowers. On the other three sides of the house were three windows each placed in a different unique spot. The most eye catching aspect of the house was the star on top. Its twinkle so bright you had to squint to get a good look at it. Although the stick it sat on was a little wobbly, the star shined brighter then the moon. Out on the front lawn sit a blue mailbox. Along with the mailbox was flowers sprinkled all over the grass, and next to the front door sit a bright red wagon. On the front porch, where the wagon sit, near the door, stand a gingerbread girl named Gabby. She was quite friendly and caring. Her most favorite thing to do was bake Christmas cookies for all her friends. Gabby was always striking up conversations with strangers and thats what made her so unique. She had a pet ginger dog named Wilbur who loved Gabby's cookies. Gabby's gingerbread house was the most beautiful on the street, with the flowers in the licorice windows to the twinkling star so bright you had to squint when looking at it.

Sonnet

one night upon a tree top i had sit
for it was midnight and i was alone
all was calm in the dead of  the moon light
awaiting for someone to walk on by
i sit there waiting for my love of mine
all by myself i feel it sinking in
he has not loved as for i have loved him
in the moon light soft and silently dark
in the dead of the night i hear crickets
humming in the light of the crescent moon
for through the light of the moon i see him
he approaches the bottom of the tree
the love of my life has arrived tonight
he has loved me as i have loved within                                                                         

3 People to the Dinner Table

Three people that I would invite to have dinner with me, living or dead, would have to be Beyonce, Elvis Presley and my grandma Jeanette Hanson. I would invite my grandma because she is my hero. She is so loving and caring of others and she would do anything to be at any of my events in life. My grandma can really have a ball too, she is very funny and always  optimistic. Also coming to my dinner would be Beyonce, she is also one of my idols because she is very strong willed and not afraid to show who she really is. I would also like to learn some sick dance moves to her music. I would invite Elvis Presley because he was a total heart throbe back when and I like his music. At the dinner he could teach me how to do his signiture pelvic knee twist thing he does. The reason I would invite Beyonce and Elvis is because they are both singers but from opposite sides of the music scale. I think with my grandma there and two very diverse singers, my dinner party would be one hell of a time.

Assonance Writing Assignment

The buzz and hum from the forest
The hustle and bustle of leaves
Move and grove in the wind
The lake is naked for it is midnight
All is still in the midst of midnight
Life no longer prospers
The rain pitter patters on the still window sill
For at midnight life no longer prospers
Except the life of the night revolves around the animals
They prance and dance for no one is around
Although the hum and buzz and hustle and bustle from nature
Life no longer prospers in the silent of the night

Time in my Life I was Scared

I cant recall the scariest moment in my life but I know there have been numerous times that I have been scared. I am extremely afraid of spiders. So during the summer one year there was a huge spider on my wall. It wasn't one of the gross jumping ones or the ones that just chill in one place. This thing was massive, it jumped and ran super fast too. So I notice this nasty black thing on my wall and start screaming my head off. My brother Garrett comes into my room because at the time we were the only two home. He grabs a Kleenex to kill it but the thing flys off my wall and starts running on my floor. I start screaming my head off even louder. Of course the windows are open so I am sure my neighbors thought someone was hurt. Garrett snipes the spider right before it crawls under my bed and kills it. Now, I know its dead but to torment me even more he comes at me with the dead spider tissue. My heart rate is probably about 195 at least. So I run downstairs and outside, why outside, I have no idea, there are probably going to be even bigger spiders out there. I end up sitting in my car for at least 10 minutes to cool down. Once again, why my car, I have no clue, I am sure there was a big daddy long leg living in there. Long story short, I hate spiders, when I see one I start screaming and my heart rate sky rockets.

Earliest Childhood Memory

One of the earliest chilhood memories I can remeber was in preschool. We were having a day in class where are parents could come and we were going to ride around in the parking lot on our bikes. Unfortunatly I didnt know how to ride a bike at this point in time. So I started practicing early with my mom and dad out in the cul-de-sac. I had a hot pink bike with a bell on it, equipped with streamers flying off the ends of the handle bars, and of course training wheels. The way the kids in my class talked seemed as if they all  knew how to ride a bike without training wheels. I got very frusterated by this. So with the time that I had, my dad would help me learn how to ride a bike with no training wheels. Friday rolls around and its time for our big bike day. Although I had not learned how to ride a bike with out my training wheels by this time I was shocked to find out that I was not the only one! A few of my other classmates and kids from other classes did not know how to ride their bikes without training wheels. That day was so much fun for me, one for the fact that we got cupcakes, and the other for the fact that the kids who did know how to ride a bike without training wheels kept falling off their bikes, and me: I just kept cruising around!

Sense of Time Poem

Spring break
Spring break is bright yellow
The color of the sun and flipflops
Spring break feels like warm, sun kissed cheeks
It sounds like ocean waves crashing against the shore
It smells like salt water and sun screen
Spring break tastes like fresh fruit
Spring break should be enjoyed while it lasts

Daily Journal About Shaking Hands

I was walking down the street one cold, December night when this man walks out of an alley. He appears to be in shock. His hands are shaking and body is trembling with fear. I walk over to him to see what had happened. He told me that he had just seen something remarkable.He says he doesnt know what it was exactly. The man described a space shuttle/ UFO and shined a very bright light on him and the last thing he saw was creepy aliens walking towards him. His hands were trembling and had somewhat of a greenish glow to them that had spread up his arms. I started getting a bit nervous when it got to his face and thats when I ran away because I didnt want to get eaten. The End.

So today I got my schedule for spring break and I am super excited to go to Florida!! I get to play softball at the ESPN stadium which is way cool too! Also, uhh DISNEY WORLD!! I just came from math class and I took a test in that class and for the first time in my life I might actually get a somewhat decent score on it. Also, I was extremly stupid and woke up early to go to lifetime for a little while so im kind of draggin right now... I dont really have much going on in my life except that I am excited tomorrows Friday and we have a three day weekend! I have a lot of returning of clothes to do because these days clothes are really crappy and decide not to stay together. So I guess thats cool. I have a very large history packet due that I have made a small dent in due tomorrow along with a test in that class to. Unfortunatly it is not Maup-Tarts class and test are opened note so I actually have to study for this one. I really dont care for my french teacher because she doesnt actually teach the class. She talks in french non stop and sure its a lanugage class I get that but no one understands what she is saying except for the freaky geniouses in my class. I am happy and sad that it is getting warmer outside. I am sad because all the ice is melting and I like to figure skate with my best friend Breanna, but I am happy because now I am not freezing cold all the time!! I am super excited for spring break but my mom says I am  not allowed to go tanning before hand this year because of all the stuff shes learned about tanning in her medical classes that she is taking. She told me that tanning in a bed ranks right up there with smoking and the damage it does to your body. Today my horoscope said I was supposed to have a five star day. So far its been pretty good. I really have no idea what to write about really truly positivly for sure. I have a quiz in English that I need to read a few more pages of Catcher and the Rye for. Catcher and the Rye is an extremly boring book. Forney said its about character development but I havnt really seen much character development yet. I really dont like books with out a thrilling and gripping plot to it. I also like drama and modern day teenager, life happens, kind of books, if you know what I mean. So were getting down to the end of this and this class has become more of a blog class rather than creative writing I guess but its what ever. I wonder if Mr.Krebs is actually going to take the time to read this. Or anyones going to take the time to read this. For real this thing is lonnggg! My wrist hurt from resting them on the desk while typing so I think this is the end of it. So long!! <3

Metaphor Poem

Two strikes
Runner on third
and two outs left in the game


I step into the box ready to hit the first pitch


Fortunatly I foul it off


I try again and yet another foul


I call time out to talk with my coach


He tells me everything is going to be okay and I need to calm down


I step back up to the plate


Take a swing


And out of the park the ball goes

Daily Journal

I wake up and try to take a deep breath, but the deeper the breath the more severe the pain. The ground is hard beneath my back, and I feel a dull pain in my arm. I see the sky above me and hear waves crashing. I cant remember what had happened to me. I am soaking wet and freezing cold. I try to sit up but the pain is to excruciating. My backpack lies only a few feet from my reach. As I struggle to reach for it I hear screaming. I try to look around with the small range of motion that I have. One of my ship mates is standing on a cliff above me screaming my name. I try to scream back but its no use; he cant hear me. I attempt to move my hand but it only budges a little bit. With him he has his rescue flag and not far from me is mine. He waves it back and forth as I try to reach my bag for mine. I pull on the rock with all my might and a dreadful pain spikes through my spine. I try again and reach the flag. I start to wave it vigorously back and fourth, hoping he would see that I am still alive. He waves his back in response to mine and with a big, yet painful sigh of relief I know that my life is going to be saved.

My Best Friend Breanna

Breanna Schlegel is my best friend because, well there are so many reasons for that. She is extremely funny and super smart. She can always make me laugh. We have so many great memories together that it would take me a whole day to list all of them out. Breanna also has a big heart, I know that I can turn to her for advice and I know that she is always there for me. When I first met Breanna, I was in ninth grade, we were on the swim team together. She was extremely wild and I was a bit afraid of her. We grew really close that year and have become almost like sisters. Breanna has an amazing collection of shoes, and that's one thing we don't skimp out on. She has great style and always looks gorgeous, even if she doesn't think she does. Breanna is one of the only few that I will go shoe shopping with.
We have so many great memories and I think that is why we are such great friends, because we can goof around and not really care about anything else. I love her like my sister.

Out of the Dark-Daily Journal

Out of the dark we came into the dangerous but yet exhilarating rapid waters in Colorado. As the raft rides the treacherous waves I squeal with excitement and terror. The rapids soon come to a nice consistent flow, I sigh with relief. On the bay kids are playing in the sand and I can hear the music of the adults playing up on shore. A loud trumpet roars out from the jazzy tune coming from the music player. The kids' crafty sand castles catch my attention and bring me back to my childhood here on the water. I smell the reek of hot dogs, hamburgers, and steaks being grilled on a charcoal grill up on shore which reminds me of my fathers cooking. Being here on the river reminds me of what home is really like.

When I ate it the grape was exceptionally great

It was dense and juicy

And made me a little loopy

So I ate eight

My Life 10 Years From Now

In my life 10 years from now I will be living in a tricked out pent house on the 23rd floor of an apartment building in New York. I work with top music artist to perform at fashion shows, football games, charity events ect... Of course I am amazing at it just like everything else I do so I make a lot of money. I own a little purse dog who of course has her own room and bathroom. Also my best friend Kip serves as my assistant who lives with me almost all the time. He makes me my breakfast in the morning and dinner at night. My parents still live in the brutal state of Minnesota but we still have a close connection. I fly them out here every once in a while so they can visit. Also Paige is still stuck in Minnesota and is a teacher while my brother lives in California managing some big time sports team there. 

Ode to a Smoothie

Oh smoothie how you are so delicious

When you whirl and mix in the blender, your colors are breath taking

As I pour you into my cup I can wait to indulge in your goodness

I adore your creaminess and consistency

The ripe strawberries and blueberries bring a bittersweet taste to my mouth

I love how you mix the fruit so well not leaving any chunks for me to gag on

You satisfy me on a warm summers day or simply as a nice treat

My Most Embarrassing Moments

To be honest I can not recall an embarrassing moment in my life. To me, many embarrassing moments happen on a day to day basis. I am very clumsy so I tend to trip a lot and usually it happens to me in front of crowds of people. I like to laugh so usually when I think something is funny I burst out laughing not really taking into consideration the location I am in. Although there are many embarrassing moments that happen in my life I would have to say the most embarrassing moment happened to me in 5th grade. I was a walking patrol and was late for my duty because I was taking a test. None of the other walking patrols showed up so I was the only one. I really had to go to the bathroom but I didn't being I was already late for my job. So the kids and I start walking out to where they needed to cross the street and of course one kid lives a bit far away. So I am trying to pick up the speed with my walking and sure enough he is dragging behind. By the time we get there and he finally crosses the street I am on the verge of wetting my self. So I go in a full out sprint back into school and right when I reach the front doors I, a 5th grader, pee my pants at school. So I walk into the nurses office with tears forming in my eyes and my walking flag in front of my shorts to cover myself. This by far one of the most embarrassing moments of my life.

Daily Journal

So yesterday I was walking down the street and out from the alley walks a zebra. Of course me and my love for zebras I approach it to pet it. This was obviously not the best idea because it starts running towards me in a full out prance and tries to run me over. Luckily I have cheetah like instincts and get out of the way just in time to save my life. Taking in a deep breath from the almost tragic loss of my life I hear a giant roar. Now obviously zebras don't roar so I am a bit puzzled. All of a sudden from the alley across the street out walks a lion. So now I am thinking okay who let all the animals out at the zoo? The lion starts to prance over to me but in a more friendly way so I am thinking okay, today I might live through safari animals attacking me on the street. But when this thought had entered then exited my mind the lion picks up speed and darts right for me. Once again I have to use my cheetah like instincts to dodge the enormous lion coming my way. Catching my breath once again I think, why me? Then it hits me! I work at a Von Hansons and of course wild safari animals who have been locked up in a cage are going to want some good old meat and not those dog treats they feed them at the zoo. So being the quick thinker I run adjacent to where I am standing to my work and get all the meat I can carry. By this time the zebra and lion are waiting outside the door. Cautiously I step outside to give them the meat and confidently walk away with my life and some new animal friends.

Thanks Breanna

Dear Breanna,

First off I would like to say that I am so incredibly lucky to have such a great friend like you. 3 years ago on the first day of swim practice I was extremely nervous and shy. I walked in and you were running around on the pool deck screaming and cheering, of course walking in on this I got a little scared and concerned. From then on I never saw you down. You were always so happy and cheerful and we became the best of friends. I would like to thank you for being in my life and let you know that you mean a lot to me. Your always there for me when I am sad or mad or frustrated and we can always count on each other to be there for one another. We have so many great memories: team towel, painting our nails in the dark, swimming, taking crazy pictures, our noodle dates,swimming, Nike's <3, swimming, tubing, getting lost ALL THE TIME; the list could just go on and on. I know your here for me now and I thank you for that but I know that you'll be here for me in the future, and that's why I love you! Your like a sister to me and I cant thank you enough for what you have done for me and my family. You mean a lot to me and that's why I would just like to say thank you Breanna Schlegel.

The Most Beautiful Place on Earth

It was the best 8 days of my life; spring break in Costa Rica. The beaches were beautiful almost to the point where words cant describe it. The lush landscape was everywhere you looked. The culture was incredibly rich and the food was to die for. My favorite beach that my family and I visited was called Playa Tamarindo. The sand was soft and pure, the waves were just right, the water was cool and relaxing and the scenery was amazing. There were people everywhere playing soccer or volley ball or surfing or tanning or walking their dogs. There was also many different races of people their too. From us fellow Minnesotans to Virginians and of course the natives Costa Rica. The sun was intense which made the ocean even more enjoyable to swim in. Laying on a lounge chair under a personal rainbow umbrella taking in the scenery was one of the most enjoyable parts of my trip. The beach was located off of a little town called Tamarindo where there were little vendors and shops all along the road that butts up to the beach. Weather it was the amazing food or the little souvenirs or the beach itself, there was something for everyone to indulge in.
