This lovley lady is joey!!! did i say LOVELY i ment CRAZY most awesome SPUNKY and most certainly FUNNIEST person on this earth!! I met her over spring break. she is my boyfriends step sister. Joey lives in Las Vegas...with her man Kevin and baby Aiden! This girl has 13 tattoos...and going to get plenty more most likly. So ive decided that when i want to go and get my first one i am going to call her up and have her take me.lol i havent told her yet but joey if your reading...thats my plan in a year or soo..so i hope you approve hhhaaahah.Her nationality is mexican, she speaks spanish but cannot purnounce the alphabet in spanish.. hahahhaaa. who can??? l0l Sunday was the first dayy in alameda, and her last was on sunday the 11th. But between those days much much happened.

when she first arriVed i have to admit i was kind of nervous, only because i really didnt want her to hate me and want to kill or (poison) me hahaa...she came to dylan's house and knocked on the door and said hi to him and then i interduced myself and we connected!! thank god! lol For the most part she could go out to the clubs,bars,and San Francisco beach at 12 in the morning!!! But when she was home i would always weezLe my wayy in her room and we would just laugh and gossip and really get to know eachother... Alot of drama went on but even though it was in the wayy we found a way to laugh and make a joke out of everything....

Partying is her Love!!

One of the things that i love about her is is that she loves to party and have a good time. it can be monday, tuesday,wednsday,thursday,or any other day of the week and she is out to parrrrr taayyyy...lol she isnt one of those girls who are a home-body and sits on the couch and watches paint dry.... that would piss her off! lol but really as soon as im turning 21 VEGASSS HERE I COME .. and joey the clubs we goo!!!!!

Saturday came and i had made a hair appointment for me joey and Dylan's (boyfriend) mom, Ana to get "String Bling" as i like to call it. But really its called hair stencles and the hair dresser gets stran and ties it at the top of my roots and its a shinny string! the appointment was at NINE in the morning!!! holllllyyyyy molly! but we went and i got pink ones added to my silver ones, Ana got gold ones and Joey got black.

Sunday came rolling around and Joey was leaving.... :( her flight was at 4 and i really didnt want her to leave! i was starting to really get to know her and she was leaving..but eventually she had to go back!! so she left and i was really sad!!! i wanted Joey! but she will be back soon! hopefully!

but all in all she is just soo fabulous!

prom 3/13/10

This Saturday was the junior prom. Finally no more stressing and just ready to have a good time. In January i ordered my dress, not knowing how long it would take to get here? but February passed and prom was coming up...and still no dress to be seen. i was hella stressed so one week before prom i ordered a new one from a familiar website and i got it in 2 DAYSS!!! but there was one thing wrong..which was that i needed it to be majorly tailored at the bottom. Luckily my auntie Cilla knows about that stuff. so i took it to her and she hooked it up. Day before prom, boy oh boy was I a mess I needed to find someone to do my hair and get my nails and toes done.But that day went and got my nails done and i had my grandma make an appointment for me for my hair. PROM DAYY... i got my hair curled with this thing called string BLINGG and looked very nice. Once i got completely ready i went to my boyfriends house, then mine, then grandma's, then other grandmas, to take pictures. three o'clock rolled around and it was time to go to the school and take the professional pictures. as soon as my boyfriend and came to the school the line was soooooooooo long! oh my god!! it took forever but it was worth it!
we got to the hornet at eightishh.. and when i walked in no one was even danCing and it idnt even look fun at all and to be honest i was getting very irrataterd. about fifteen minutes later people started dancing alittle more so i just said shoot f&*$ it i paid 140$ for this so i might as well make the best of it. I swear to you whoever is reading this, that every single song was old and not even able to dance to. For instance: drop it like it's hot, ms. officer, lollipop.ugh! but i still danced. at the end of the night i was pretty pissed off because of the fact that i paid so much to have a bad time??? well whatever hopefully next year at my senior prom it will be more fun and BETTER SONGS!

Difficult Decision

Awhile ago i found out that my little brother David was starting to smoke weed. At the top of my head i just kept thinking, " why is he doing this, he's only an eighth grader"! Alot of his friends seem to be a bad influence. The way they talk the way they dress and they just dont have any manners. I'm not saying that my brother is any better then they are, it's just that i know that he has the potential to be the total opposite.
Time after time, thought after thought, i just didnt know how to put it to my parents that david was messing up. My parents are already stressing enough about his school and work and how to provide for us. I guess i just didnt want them to look down on David. Looking at him i felt bad because we are close and i thought that the bond between us would fall apart and become hate.
But sooner or later i couldnt stand seeing him leave all the time and just knowing what he's doing. I ended up calling my mom asside into the kitchen and i said "umm....Mom... i dont want you to be mad, but i found out that David is starting to smoke." But i dont want you to tell him that i said anything because he will be very bmad at me." And she seemed upset, but at the same time pissed out of her mind! I thought to myself it's either i just allow him to go around and do it... or i just protect him from getting into the habbit.
To make a long story short, it ended up with a happy ending... my mom talked with David and he agreed not to do it. But if he wanted to he would ahve to talk with my parents first!
Another time, about 3 years ago, i had a phone, a very nice phone might i add, and I was on a family plan with my mom, dad, brother Mike, And David. There was only enough room for five people. So my little brother Zach was out of luck. He hadnt had a phone yet, but on the other hand i had had my phone for about 4 years already. I remember just hearing Zach in the next room complaining about how he hasnt had a phone and the house phone wasnt cutting it. i remember just thinking weather or not i should give up my phone or not. He was starting to get older and hanging out was very hard for him to do with no phone to keep in contact with his friends. I started to feel bad because i know that it would horrible if i didnt have a phone. I could just imagine how much it must suck to not have your own personal phone. He was always my favorite little brother and i felt really really bad. So that being said... i took it into my hands and decided to just give up my phone and let Zach have it. So basicly ever since then, i havent had a phone!

My Buddy Ed

He calls himself Edward Legacy Jr. ??? i like to call him Ed. He doesn't have a home, and he is an alcoholic/druggie, or was. His life growing up wasn't the best.But on the flip side, he is full of laughter, always thinks on the brighter side, and has these brilliant ideas. He likes to think of himself as an "INVENTOR". since he has all the time in the world to do whatever, he chooses to think, think....and think.Your probably wondering why i am writting about him. Well, its because he inspires me in a weird way. The way he thinks is beyond others imagination and out of the box. Seeing him walking down the street you would NEVER even guess how he really is inside. He doesn't really care about what people think of him. Love him or hate him he's still Ed.

Yesterday i was thinking about the way he goes about things and how much he loves to draw. When he thinks about something he turns it into a picture and puts details to match it perfectly. this really shows he how much a mind can expand.

its weird to me, someone with so much talent with so little money. this world is messed up! his appearance maybe bad, but that doesn't mean that hes not intelligent like Albert Einstein or any other genius. The situation that hes in may not be the best, but that shouldn't be held against him. I wish that other people could just give him a chance and see what i see in him, which is a real intelligent man named Ed!

Final

In what way(s) have you surprised yourself this semester on your blog? Have you tried topics you didn't think you'd write about? Approached a familiar topic from an unfamiliar angle? Discovered more "depth" to a topic than you first thought was possible? Explain

I have surprised myself a lot with blogging. At first i really had no patience for writing, i tried to beat around the bush, and just as long as it gets down in any way shape or form i was satisfied. at the beginning of blogging i just talked about personal experiences. For the past couple of blogs i talked about subjects that i didn't ever think i would even think about. like Being the president, before writing i did something that i normally wouldn't do which is think about what i want to write and get into detail about it. i thought about how much i don't understand politics and i mentioned that i would just keep it short and simple without confusing people. i thought about the poverty that the world has, and how i want to fix it! even though i was just imagining i still got really into what i was saying. That's a first! Another was the war! This particular subject made me really mad because i thought about it. how can Obama say that he doesnt want the war? And he wanst to bring the troops home? I just feel that he shouldnt bite what he cant chew. Alot of people voted for him because of the fact that he metioned that repetably. But anyways when i first heard about it all i thought was that he was a hipricret. coming from one thought to many is big for me.

Blogging has made me want to start writting on my own, because i can discover the "depth" in a subject. i reolize now that all you have to do is think about what your going to write and once you do its easy enough to write about.

Where do you get your ideas for blog post topics? What inspires you to write?

From some of my blog posts I usually just get my thoughts and ideas from personal experiances. Normally i dont really talk about certain struggles that i have made it through. such as; "My hero....Zachie; and my biggest regret. Just because those are things that have really changed me as a person and made me who i am to this day. And sometimes people dont reolize how deep this means to me. it has taught me not to let my guard down but at the same time life is unpredictable and you only live once. In the begining of the year it was sometimes hard to write about something that someone wants me to talk about. But now, i can write about anything just as long as i put some thought into it. Other posts like the new and improved president' the war, and prom are an example of just fun and random topics. But still i like to talk about stuff like that. i have ALOT to say and I want my oppinions to count to. i feel that i have good things to say but its easier for me to write them down rather then say them. Now thinking about it ifeel that Mr. Sutherland has inspired me to think in a different way then i ever would. which makes my life way way easier. He is so opened minded with the world which has led me to think about all the problems in a different way.I wouldnt ever take a picture and think that it would mean various things. I never thought about the war and what Obama is doing, and how we really have no say in it.For my future topics i hope to be able to expand my mind even more and find the real meaning of whatever it is.

How do you like having a blog? How has blogging changed the way you write, the way you think, or the way you think about writing?

Having a blog is great. For one, it has helped me with writters block because i just let my thoughts out with no hesitation and i just think that no matter how it sounds i can always go back and add small details that i may have left out. Nobody writes perfect! there's always room for improvement. I wasnt sure on how i should write. if i had to be proper or if i could just say whatever came to my head. All these different questions running through my head like: what if i get a bad grade on it? what if it isnt in the right formula? will i get this done on time? And, the worst one, what do i write about? The way i thought in the begining of blogging i would say was just very closed minded. Thats what i think caused me major writters block. I never took a step back to think about the deeper meaning of what i was writting about, because no matter what there is more then one meaning to everything in life. Reading my peers' blogs make me want to compete with them. it may sound weird but thats how it is. I see how good their ideas are and it makes me strive to try in make a better idea, or make a point that no one has made yet. teh outcome that this has made on me is tramendous, writting is so easy to me, im starting to love it. It takes all my frustration and stress away from me. i learned also that, you dont always have to write about something boring..you can write about whatever floats your boat. Which includes; personal experiances, my outlook on things, and my future. Writting is now a regular thing that i do. Not because i have to just because i want to. Last but not least, i have recently got into poetry because i thought about what different types of fun writting there is.

.

groups

what are some things you'd like to get out of writting more collaboratively with peers? well for me i want to be able to write at the top of my heard without getting writters block. And hopefully being around other people they may have different tecniques on how write more efficiently.

What are somethings you's be willing to contribute to a writting group?i could work on taking my time and reading my work over and others.Another is, if someone needs help i can help them and give them corrections. not to forget, the blogs i will comment them and give my peers feed back that will be useful to them. And for any traditional help that they need i will be happy enough and willing to help them.

Is it more important to work with people that have the same topic as you? or your friends? i think that working with your friends is more important because it wont be awakward, and your can really say what you want about their writting. but as far as the same topic goes, people feel more pressure because someones work may be better or they may point out better ideas about that topic then you do...

What are some rules for the groups? well some rules should be; keep the socializing down, and make sure everyone helps out everyone

REiCK000

My dogie reicko is a rottweiler. yea, he's a beast as you can see. But there is more to him then a mean looking face. really deep deep deep down he is a freakin baby! he sits on my lap all the time to protect me and cries alot. But on the flip side, he can be a bit of a pest! he grawls all the time and NEVER shuts up! you think hes going to bite you but really hes just talking to you in his own language.




Pretty much he is a ladies man!! he loves them amp;s">b!@#$&s! one of his favorites is a golden brown lab named Maddie! if someone mentions her name his tail rises and he begins to cry, then runs to the window and looks for her.the other booty call is a labadoodle (poodle/lab) named Pepper, she doesnt looks that good but i guess looks arnt everything. l0l.

i could just remember when we first got him. his body was very small but his head and paws were so HUGE! he was a funny one might i add. very calm,but at times a wild banana! there was this one time where my mom was mopping and i was playing with him and he ran into the kitchen and flew into the laundry room. i went to go and look for him and he hit his head on the door! omg! it was the funniest thing ever! and just looking at the look on his face was hilarious! he looked as if he had no idea what happened! awwww...pooor poooorrr dog! i will never for get that day

we taught him how to shut the doors and to sit pretty. (which is when he sits up on his but) also he knows how to give us left and right paw.

But for now he is still a clauts. falls down the stairs hits his head on the edge of the tables and even talks in his own language. he's really one of a kind!
