7th Grade Reflection:

In August I expected the school year was going to be great. I hadn’t seen my friends all summer and I was dying to see them. What could go wrong this year?
I had everything I needed to survive this year but I would soon find out I was wrong.
Kids were mean. If you didn’t fit in you would get picked on. I used to wear a lot of bracelets which I loved so dearly but I had to stop wearing them
before winter break because other students would stop me in the hallway to pull up my bracelets and ask me if I self harm and they would laugh so
much about my bracelets and how people thought I self harm. It wasn’t the people pulling my bracelets up that made me upset it was the self harm jokes. Self harm isn’t funny at all and
people need to stop making jokes about it. I also found myself being teased for being “goth” or “emo”. Yes I enjoy wearing lots of eyeliner but that doesn’t mean you
have to be rude about it.
For next years 7th graders I would like you to know:
*Other students will be mean but you have to tell them to stop if they are.
*Just because lots of other people are dating doesn’t mean you have to (the majority of them don’t understand you can have a friend of the opposite sex).
*Only tell your secrets to people you trust. Some friends who you thought you could trust turn on you.

Sorry if I started ranting about mean kids but I had to write this on my 7th grade year.

Leadership

Being a leader is one of the most important things to know how to be.

If you are a leader you can accomplish almost anything. Without leaders we wouldn’t be were we are today.
Leaders have shaped and created the society you live in. A good leader is honest, kind,
loyal, independent and a free thinker. There are many opportunities in school and outside of school were
you can be a leader.

Good leaders need to know how to work with people. If someone is the head of a group or directing everybody
they need to know how they can make those people work together and how they can get involved.
Leaders also are kind. Nobody wants someone who is rude and mean to lead them. Being a free thinker is
also an important characteristic in a leader. Since leaders change the world, they need to look
outside of the box and be creative.

Leaders are everywhere. Camps, school, sports, at home, you name it.
If you have the ability to be a leader then change the world and be one. It might be a little change or a big change, it doesn’t matter what matters is that you’re a leader

Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me Too

Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me too
Went for a ride in a flying shoe.
“Hooray!”
“What fun!”
“It’s time we flew!”
Said Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me too.

Ickle was captain, and Pickle was crew
And Tickle served coffee and mulligan stew
As higher
And higher
And higher they flew,
Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me too.

Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me too,
Over the sun and beyond the blue.
“Hold on!”
“Stay in!”
“I hope we do!”
Cried Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me too.

Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle too
Never returned to the world they knew,
And nobody
Knows what’s
Happened to
Dear Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me too.

-Shel Silverstein

This poem means a lot to me because in elementary school my friends and I would recite it on the playground.

Pillow and Marie

Since I have two favorite items, I’ve decided to write about both of them.

The photo above is the bed set that Pillow came with. Also if you don’t want to read about personalities I have developed for inanimate objects, don’t read this post

Because you don’t know anything about Pillow, here is some information about him. Pillow doesn’t have gender, because he is a pillow but he likes to be referred to as a masculine figure. Pillow’s name is Pillow, not “a pillow”, “Kira’s pillow”, “the pillow” because it offends him to be called anything other then Pillow. Pillow is really important to me because friendships don’t always work out. People you think you can trust can easily turn on you and become an enemy, which is why Pillow is important to me because I like knowing that something friend-like won’t betray me. It isn’t the personality that I love about Pillow, Pillow just makes me feel more secure and comforted.

Above is a picture of what Marie used to look like, but that was seven years ago.

If you’ve every seen the movie The Aristocats or you love Disney movie quotes, you probably know this:

That little white kitten with the pink bows is Marie. Because I love that movie so much, I have a few Marie related items but my favorite is my Marie stuffed animal. I love Marie because I’ve had her since a really young age. I’m very weird about items with “sentimental value” so items that I’ve had longer are more important, which makes Marie so special.

Austin

Interesting people, great food, shops of every sort, soft grass tickling your toes at Zilker Park and live music everywhere, what’s not too love about Austin?
One reason why Austin is amazing is the music. If you go to any restaurant outdoors or you go downtown, local bands will be playing. There is music festivals. Austin City Limits music festival is my favorite. ACL is 3 days long and has local food trailers and all genres of music playing concerts there.
Another reason to love Austin is the food trailers. You might be thinking
“Why in the world would you eat food from a trailer?” but, it’s very tasty. The food from the food trailers ranges from chicken to crepes, spicy to sweet and even beverages. Besides the food being tasty, it’s also reasonably priced! Who doesn’t like amazing food at a good price?
Almost every city has something to love about it but in Austin it’s hard to find something you really don’t like about it.

The Complain Train

Sometimes the easiest way to let go of stress is to take a ride on the complain train.
The complain train is simply just complaining about what you need to complain about so sit back, relax and have a great ride.

As you look to the left you will find the complain train’s first destination called annoying-cats.
While you visit annoying-cats the afternoon and the night are peaceful with the sound of purring annoying-cats residents and paws running on the ground but annoying-cats turns terrible in the wee hours of the morning. The residents soon meow there head off waiting for food and wanting to go outside. They won’t and never will be quiet until their chubby little bellies are full of food and they
can frolic in the grass.

Next stop is the land of secrets which is the exact opposite of the lands name. This magical land is full of wonderful people who everyone of them has a bank where they stores there friend’s secrets. Sadly most of the time some of these bank’s owners always give away the secrets to the whole world!

The complain train has to end eventually, and it has to end now.
Thanks for riding the complain train and enjoy the rest of your day!

Fear Is Harmful

Your voice stutters, your heart starts beating faster and beads of sweat start trickling down your face. Don’t give into fear.
When your head is clouded with to much self judgment (from fear) you might think of what you can accomplish but you feel like you can’t . When you are backstage before a piano recital thoughts of failure rush to your brain like “what if I hit the wrong note?” “What if I mess up the whole thing?”. Fear will mess up what you can do.
Another reason fear is harmful is if you’re nervous you may not do as good because of low self confidence.
For example, during your piano recital if you believe you will do it horribly then when you get up on stage, fear stuns your mind and you probably won’t do as well as you did when you practiced. Never let fear take hold of you when you want to do something well.
Next time your scared take a deep breath and think to yourself — I can do this.

A New Widget

I know it’s just a little feature to my blog but, I love it so much!
On the right side of my blog there is a small button that says “cornify”. Click the cornify button a few times too see
Lots of itty bitty unicorns and rainbows appear on the screen. I know it seems like a child- like thing to put unicorns on my screen and your screen but I love unicorns so I couldn’t resist!
P.S Cornify also changes the names of my blog post to things more happy.

Supernatural

Lately I’ve had a obsession over my favorite TV show Supernatural thanks to my Christmas present of Netflix .

Supernatural is about two brothers Sam and Dean Winchester who fight demons and ghosts. It might sound goofy but you will easily get hooked on it. Here are the stages of the Supernatural obsession.

1. You hear about some show called Supernatural and decide to watch one episode.
2. Your brain has now forced you to watch more
3. You start reading fan fictions and look at fan art and discover the great fandom this show has.
4. You continue watching the show.
5. By the time you get to the sixth episode you have told every one of you friends about the glory of Supernatural and might even make a post on Edublogs about it!
6. Now your obsession has gone crazy and you give up on your social life and you choose to go nowhere on the weekends because Supernatural seems more important than a life outside of school (sadly)
7. You might seriously consider changing your last name to Winchester.

As you can see I have quiet an obsession, if you choose to watch it don’t get to over invested into Supernatural because you will waste your weekends watching it instead of doing normal things.
Don’t watch it if you get scared easily or scared of blood.
