FINAL STORY: The Roommate

I can’t wait to go to college and finally be on my own. It’s been something I’ve wanted to do for such a long time. I am going to the University of Minnesota and I am going to be staying on campus in a dorm. My mom’s a little nervous about me staying there and what not but I really think that it’s best for me. She is also sad that I’m going away. We’ve never really been apart and this is going to be really hard for her. I was scheduled to move out tomorrow and bring all of my stuff to the dorm. The scary thing was is that I had a roommate and I didn’t know anything about her, not even her name. I was nervous and I want her to like me and I wanted us to get along. I started to pack all of the things that I would need. I packed all of my clothes, my books, my shoes and my hair stuff and tooth brush. Once everything was packed I felt a little better but I was still nervous about meeting my roommate.

The next day my mom and my dad helped me load up the van. I had to bring furniture to the dorm so we had to load up my bed and a few other pieces of furniture. Everything was in the van that I needed. It was time to take off and head towards the school. There was barely any traffic so we got there pretty fast. Now that I was there I had butterflies in my stomach. My dad dropped me and my mother off so we could go check in and find out where my room was. My dad waited to see where we needed to go. My room number was 133 and was on the other side of campus. Me and my mom got back in the van and drove over to the other side of campus. We parked the car and started to unload my things. I grabbed my bags of clothes while my parents carried my mattress. We got to the room and I unlocked it and opened it. My roommate was sitting on her bed.

“Hi, I’m Rachel. Welcome, you can put all your things over on that side of the room.”

“Hey thanks! I’m Jess.”

“Do you guys need any help?”

“Ah no I think we’re almost done anyways, thanks though!”

At that second me and my parents left and grabbed some more stuff out of the van.

“Oh honey she seems nice!” said my mom.

“Yes she does, that makes me feel better. I can see us getting along.”

“See you had nothing to worry about”

We were on our way back to bringing more stuff into the dorm. This was the last load we had to bring to the room. We got to the room and put everything in there. My parents were saying goodbye to me and my mom was just balling.

            “I’m going to miss you so much. Keep in touch hon. I love you so much and stay out of trouble!”  My mom said as I could barely hear her because she was crying.

            “Yeah, stay out of trouble. Love you and miss you hon.” My dad said.

They both gave me a huge hug and a kiss before they left. This had to of been really hard for my parents.  I was now left alone with my roommate. I started to put all of my things away and put them in their place.

            “So are you new around here?” said Rachel.

            “Yeah I am, it’s my first year. Are you new?”

            “Yeah this is my first year too!”

            “Oh that’s cool, that makes me feel a lot better ha-ha!”

            “Well I’m going to go to the cafeteria, you want to come? I can show you around?”

            “Yeah that sounds great! I think I need a break from putting my things away anyways!”

So we took off and she started to show me around. She had been here for a week already and she had already checked out the place.  She showed me the cafeteria, it was pretty big and it looked clean. The food they served looked pretty delicious. I got a sandwich because I was super hungry and I hadn’t eaten anything all day. It was a ham and cheese sandwich. It was sooo delicious. Rachel just got a coffee. We sat down at a table and talked about each other. She told me a little about herself and I told her about me. We were having such a great time. We were actually getting along.

            The next week I started to see some of my things missing. Like my hair brush, tooth brush, pillow, and underwear. I was really confused and I couldn’t find them. My last resort was to ask Rachel if she had seen them.

“Hey have you seen my stuff?”

“What stuff?”

“My hair brush, tooth brush, pillow, and underwear! They’re missing, and I can’t find them anywhere!”

“Oh yeah sorry I took them.”

“Wait what? You took them? Why?!”

“I just needed to borrow them. Sorry I didn’t tell you.”

“Rachel that’s my stuff, you can’t just take my stuff without asking!!!!!”

“Oh well my bad!”

“Alright well I’m going out. You better have my stuff put back as soon as possible!”

“WHERE ARE YOU GOING?!” YOU CAN’T LEAVE ME!”

“What are you talking about? You’re crazy! I can leave whenever I want!”

As I tried to leave Rachel came after me and grabbed me by the wrist.

“You are not leaving!”

“AAAAHHHH!” I belted out this loud scream. I was so frightened, and I didn’t know what to do. I thought she was going to kill me. I didn’t know what I did to her but she didn’t want me to leave. She locked the door and was not letting me out. I did not know what to do. She tied me to a chair and told me again that I could not leave her. She showed me her shrine in her closet and it was all my stuff that I was missing. I was terrified. This girl was obsessed with me. I sat there in horror and I watched her pace the door back and forth.

“You know what I’m going to do with you?” Rachel said to me.

“No… What?!”  I said in a shivered voice.

“I am going to tell you… APRIL FOOLS! Hahahhaha! You actually were scared and thought I was going to kill you!”

“WHAT! You were just kidding?! Wow, you are so mean! I can’t believe you.”

Creative writing class review

THINGS I REALLY ENJOYED:
-Lyrics... It was fun to listen to some new music
-Poems... A new way of thinking
-Daily journal... Practice for college
-Loved how this class was basically online. Like if i missed a day I could go online and it would be there. I liked how If I needed to I could go home and work on something because its all online. I also love how this was a writing class that was on the computer because I hate writing with paper. I think we just would have wasted so much paper. Everything is easier now with the computers. Made this class easier how it was on the computer.
-Another thing I liked was how we can design our own page on blogspot.com.
-Also liked how some daily journals had random pictures that you had to write about. I thought that was pretty neat.

THINGS I DIDNT REALLY CARE FOR:
-Writing the stories... It was really hard to write a short story for me. I guess I just didnt know where to go with it.
-I also didn't really care for the audio short story because it was really hard to sit there for 30 mins and listen to this lady.
Other than those two things, there wasn't much that I didn't like. I pretty much loved everything about this class.

Daily journal: Bad food expierence

One time I went out to AppleBees' in Apple valley with my boyfriend and his grandma. We got there and sat down and started to look at the menu. When we got there it was really packed. I was surprised that we had a table. We looked at the menu to see what we wanted to eat. Once we all knew what we wanted we had to wait and wait and wait for our waitress to come and take our order. We waited for about 20 minutes. That for one put us all on edge. So she took all of our orders. I got the pick three and I picked the Queso blanco and the honey bbq wings and these chicken tacos. Jon, my boyfriend picked the a1 steak burger, this was his favorite. His grandma picked some burger that I don't remember what it was called but it was delicious! After she took our order we all talked about everything that was on our minds. After awhile we started to realize how long it had been since she had last talked to us. The waitress hadn't talked to us in about 30 mins. So then we asked this waiter if we could speak to our waitress. I mean we had been waiting for our food for a long time. We were thinking that our food is probabaly cold by now, how gross. So we waited another 10 minutes untill she came to talk to us. "Your food is just coming out" The waitress said to us. We finally got our food after waiting about an hour, which is ridiculous. Everything in my pick three was good and still hot except the stupid tacos, they were cold and discusting. I will never get those tacos again. Jons burger was delicious he said but it could have been a bit warmer. Grandma's food was also good. So we waited a long time but it was worth it in the end. The wait made us more hungry than we were before we walked in to AppleBees'. The only bad thing were my tacos.

Daily journal: Picture

I was just about to sit down in my chair and start reading my shakespear when I saw something scurry accross the floor. Now my biggest fear of all is mice so I was hoping it wasn't a mouse. I got up on the chair and started to look for something on the floor. Big or small I didn't know what I was looking for. Just then I saw something scurry accross the floor again. I just missed it and I could barilly see what it was. I think it was under the rug. I slowly got off the chair and I had my eyes set on the rug. There was a little bump in the rug and I just knew it was there. I needed something to kill it with and the only thing in sight was the chair that I was just sitting on. The lamp would obviously break if I were to smash it to the floor so the best option was the wooden chair. I picked up the chair and I had it over my head just about to drill it into the floor where the bump was. 1...2...3..! Just as I was about to hit the floor the small littl bump in the rug moved accross the floor. I followed the bump and it was just sitting there again. 1...2...3... BANG! I hit the floor and I knew I hit the bump too. I decided to lift up the rug and see what was under there. I needed to see if I actualy hit something. As I lifted up the rug the small black mouse scurried out from underneath the rug and flew into the kitchen. Well that just answered all of my questions. For one, I didn't kill it, and two it is a mouse. Its and ugly black mouse too. As it scurried to the kitchen a bunch of shivers rushed through me like lightning. I was so afraid of mice like you wouldn't believe. I hurried to the kitchen before the mouse could hide in something.

STORY: Meeting obsessive Ed...

I wake up in this tiny enclosed tube, confused and scared I couldn’t help but wonder where I was. Cloudy steam filled the small tube as I tried to feel around for something. Finally I found a lever and I pulled it. WOOSH! The door opened and all the steam blew out. I walked out of the tube and there was a scientist waiting for me to come out.

I asked him, “Where am I”?

He replied, “You were just in a freezing machine”.

“What?  How long was I in there?”

“You were in there for 100 years”.

“Why would I go into a freezing machine?”

“What do you mean?  You don’t remember what happened?”

“No? Waa what happened?”

“Well before you went into the freezing machine the whole world was coming to an end. Every volcano exploded and there were many earthquakes, tsunamis and hurricanes. You went in the machine at year 2012 to save yourself. You went into the freezing machine to tell stories of what life was like back then in 2012.”

“Well what is your name? Who are you?”

“I am Dr. Edward, and I am a scientist.”

“Nice to meet you Dr. Edward, I’m Bree Christen.”

At that second Dr. Edward escorted me to a place where I could stay. He led me to this hotel like place where I could have my privacy. As I was wondering this new world I realized that everything was different from when I lived. At the hotel, Dr. Edward was talking to the assistant telling him about my situation and they said that I could stay there for awhile until I got a job.  As they were still discussing stuff I noticed two dogs on the floor. Little do you know they were not normal dogs? These dogs could some-how talk. I thought I was dreaming, or in a movie or something. I wanted to see if the dog could understand me so I said “Hello dog!”

The dog said, “My name isn’t dog, its Spot.”

Just then everything spun in circles and then everything went black. I woke up 5 minutes later to Dr. Edward shaking me and asking if I was alright. “Yes I’m okay! That dog just spoke to me and knew exactly what I was saying.”

“Yeah here in 2111, dogs can now communicate to us. Sorry I should have told you that.” The times now are a lot different, things have changed drastically.”

“I’m feeling a little better but I think I’m going to go up to my room and relax a bit.”

The assistant gave me my room key and told me to have a nice stay. Dr. Edward gave me his number just in case I needed to get a hold of him. I went for the elevator. The elevator was a lot different than they used to be. You were in a tube like machine that was really small. Inside of the elevator there were so many different buttons. There were 30 floors. I was on the last floor. I pressed the button that said 30, right away the doors closed. I waited 5 seconds until ZOOM! I shot up into the air and BOOM! I was there in 30 seconds. The doors opened and this guy was waiting to go down. He looked at me and laughed. I was on the floor in a mess because I wasn’t used to the elevators here. He walked in and helped me up. “Thank you so much! My name is Bree.”

“You’re welcome, I’m Jon!”

“Hopefully I’ll see you again soon!”

Once I left the elevator I started to look for my room. It was just down the hall and I opened the door and there was my room. The room was full of colors and bright lights. The bedroom had a king size bed and looked super comfy. The king size bed had a pillow top on top. This room looked like my sanctuary. I decided I wanted to shower because I had been frozen for so long that I probably didn’t smell too good. After I showered I wanted to take a nap, but then I heard a knock at my door. It was Dr. Edward…

“Hey we need to talk…”

“Well ah I was just going to take a nap but okay. What’s up?”

“You know how you were frozen for 100 years? Well you were only suppose to be frozen for 20…”

“WHATTT!? Why didn’t you un-freeze me?”

“The problem was that someone stuffed me into a freeze machine and put me in it for 70 years. I was just about to un-freeze you but someone stuffed me in there. I just came out of the machine not so long ago.”

“What?!  So you’re saying that I should have been out of this machine a longggg time ago?”

“Well yes, this is what I am telling you.”

“I can’t believe this Ed. I just lost so many years of my life, and now they’re gone forever…”

“Yes I know this but it was completely an accident.”

“Ugh, well thanks for telling me this FANTASTIC news! I’ll see you tomorrow.”

“Alright, have a good night!”

            The next day I woke up and felt great, all I wanted to do was to go explore this new world of wonders. I wanted to some-how escape this hotel so Ed wouldn’t follow me. I kind of wanted to get away from him. I felt that he was bad news. So I decided to exit out the stairs instead of the elevator that everyone seemed to use. I started walking down the stair and I heard footsteps that sounded as though they were coming up toward me. I didn’t know what to do. Was I suppose to hide or act like everything was normal and keep walking down the stairs? I decided to just keep walking down the stairs. It ended up being Jon, the guy I met the other day in the elevator. He seemed very happy to see me as I was very happy to see him. He asked me out to coffee and to show me around town. He knew that I was new around here and I agreed to him showing me around.  So we walked down the stairs together and we came to the door that led outside. Instead of normally opening the door yourself, there was a sensor and it automatically opened up. When we got outside the whole feel of the world felt completely different. Everyone seemed so happy and so care-free. This world seemed like the best place on earth. It was almost like a dream where you could make anything happen. I felt like if I wanted something I could get it easily. This world was a dream come true. I guess I wasn’t mad that Ed didn’t un-freeze me now that I look at the world today.  Jon wanted to show me around so we started to walk to his car. On the way to his car I saw other cars and they weren’t just normal cars with tired and on concrete. These cars were called hover cars. These cars could fly and be in the air. This was the coolest thing I had ever seen. This was something that I had always wanted to be invented back in the time that I lived. Luckily enough Jon had a hover can and I got to experience this right off the bat. We got into his car and it was super nice inside. Black leather interior that was very clean and well kept. The weather was very hot outside and not windy so he could have the top down. All hover cars were also convertible tops, which was amazing. We flew all over the place and decided to stop at the local coffee shop that everyone hung out at. I was hoping that Ed wouldn’t be here. He seemed protective of me and if he saw me here with Jon, he’d be furious. We walked into the coffee shop and right away I spotted him from afar.

“Jon we have to get out of here, Ed is going to be furious.”

“Why would he be furious?  You guys aren’t dating are you?”

“No we’re not dating, but he seems very protective of me and I don’t know why.”

“Okay well I don’t want to start drama, so let’s go get ice-cream instead.”

“Okay sounds great!”

We went back out to his hover car and headed over to the ice cream place. This seemed like a much better idea because I wasn’t feeling coffee anyways. It was like a date. We were flirting with each other and were both very happy! He gave me his number and I gave him my hotel phone number. We drove back over to the hotel after having such a great night. Everything seemed so perfect until I remember Ed. Jon walked me up to my room and he gave me a good night kiss and said “I’ll call you tomorrow!” I was so happy I instantly got butterflies in my stomach.  I walked into my room and got ready for bed.

            I woke up this morning with my room a disaster. Looking to only find a picture of me and Jon kissing sitting on the table…

Daily journal: Behind her the noise escalated...

Behind her the noise escalated even worse than it already was. Her parents went from arguing to screaming to throwing objects at each other. It went from bad to crazy in just seconds. She began to feel scared and didn't want to be there anymore. She felt like she was going to get dragged into this. She didn't want anything to do with it. She just hoped that her mother was safe and nothing bad would happen. She loved both of her parents but she wanted to protect her mother. She was very close with her mother. She needed to get out, it was best for her. She deserved to live in a better place and she was ready to live on her own. Her and her boyfriend wanted to move out and get a place together and eventually start a family. She wanted to do her own thing just like her parents did. She just hoped that her and her boyfriend wouldn't fight like her and her parents did. She hated fighting and it was something important to her as to not fight and argue. Especially if it was about something so stupid.

Daily journal: The clock winked...

The clock winked and I then realized it was 12:00 pm. I was already late to my meeting which was at 10:00 am. I didn't even want to go in now because I was so late. The meeting was probabaly over by now anyways. So I decided to be some-what responsible and to call my manager and tell him why I didn't make it.
"My child had a fever sir, and I had to take her to the hospital this morning.." I thought this would be a great excuse. Until his daughter was in school and had also seen my daughter in school and NOT in the hospital. I had been caught! My excuse didn't work and now I look like a lier. Now my boss is never going to trust me again. Then I apologized to my manager and said, "Im sorry for lying to you I don't know what I was thinking, but the trust is my alarm didn't go off this morning and I over slept. Im sorry! My manager was happy that I apologized and told me the truth and he decided to give me another chance.

Daily journal: Spoon inside of a dishwasher

I was just about to relax when out of know where I am grabbed and put into this dungeon. It was dark and cold, and smelt of fresh soap. I was surrounded by metal bars. I thought I was trapped and would never get out. I felt like I was going to die in here. Then this dungeon I was trapped in started to make loud noises and It felt like a stampeed was coming right at me. It was so intense I couldn't see what was coming at me. Once it came into view it was some monster with bristle type teeth coming right at me. He was moving back and forth spraying this bubbly substance everywhere. I was terrified. I did not want to get eated by this scary monster.

Daily journal: "I once dreamed about..."

I once dreamed about my stalker coming into my house and torturing me and my family. You see I used to have a restraining order on this guy. It wore off because it was only for a year. This guy used to be obsessed with me. He loved me and he thought I loved him back and i didn't. I was just being a good friend to him. I had no feelings for him at all. I mean I felt bad but I honestly did have any feeling for him like that. I got a restraining order on him because he was angry that I didn't love him, and I kind of liked this other guy at the time, the guy I happened to like was a guy he hated? So this mad him furious. He walked all the way to my house from him which was like 2 miles away and he sat outside by my garage. He was also pacing the front of my house, untill my mom heard something and she looked out the window.
" Oh my god! He's outside our house!! "
" WHAT?!? "
My mom and I didnt know what to do. My brother was home and he had two friends over and they were downstairs playing xbox. My mom decided that we should all talk and understand each other. So my mom opened the door and told him to come in. We were all talking and he kept getting more and more and more mad. He got so mad he dug into my moms purse and picked out these pills that were anti-depressants that my mom was on and he opened up the bottle and downed the whole bottle. He probably put down at least 12 pills. Also as we were talking the whole time he was using his lighter to burn a different pill bottle. But after he downed those pills my mom and I were screaming and we kicked him out, as we were kicking him out he knocked out the chair he was sitting in. Finally he was out of the house and we were bother shaking. We couldn't beleive that that just happened. My brother and his two friends came up and were wondering what had just happened, because of all the noise we just made. 5 minutes later I was looking out the window and I saw my neighbor walking towards county road 42 which is right in front of my house. I was thinking that the kid had ran straight into 42 and I started freaking out. My mom went out there and was talking to my neighbor. I guess the kid left my house screaming out loud cussing and freaking out. I guess he found an old glass bottle of some sort and he banged it on his head and it broke. I guess he was going to run accross 42 but he did not. My neighbor called the cops and we did too when he first left my house. There was an ambulance and cop cars in front of my house on 42 talking to him. He had to go to the hospital and pumped his stomach. He had to go to the crazy hospital for a bit too. But anyways this is why I got a restraining order on him. All because I didn't love him he went psycho. The dream that I had was him coming to our front door and pushed him way in our house and locked the door behind him. He tied my whole family up but me. He locked me and him in a room and he tortured me. He tortured my family too. I don't know but it was a horrible dream and very realistic. And after I had that freaky dream I couldnt go back to sleep. The next day my stalker texted me. Sooooo freaky!

Daily journal: "I wish someone had told me..."

I wish someone had told me at a young age that middle school and high school is very important. I wish someone would have told me to work hard and do my very best to succeed in high school. I wish someone would have told me that how I perform in high school will reflect how I get into college. I wish I would have known that I was going to college at a young age but when I grew up we grew up in a subsidised town home in Edina/Richfield. The area was okay but the people were kind of trashy. No one had money where I lived, so growing up i always thought i wouldn't have any money to go to college. Years later we moved to Apple Valley when i was 9. It was such a change to the city. We were now in the suburbs, something totally different. The people were also alot different. I think moving to Apple Valley was the best decision my parents have ever made. My life changed drastically and my new way of living would make things 10 times better. The schools were even better, I was behind when i came to Apple Valley. I needed special help in some areas to catch up. Thank goodness I came to Apple Valley otherwise honestly i don't think i would have made it to college if i stayed in Edina/Richfield. I am greatful for the schools that i went to out here. They are great great schools, and now i get to reward my self from all the hard work i did and i get to go to college! I still do wish i could have done better in middle school and high school, but im good where i stand!

Daily journal: Guy in shoe?

It is now 2022 and the new invention called the "SHOE CAR" is becoming more and more popular. When it first came out people seemed pretty iffy about getting into a giant shoe for a car. But as famous people bought these cars, that influenced other people to go out and purchase a brand new "SHOE CAR". It is very easy to drive and has a button in the car to "self drive"... which means if you press that button the car will drive itself. You just have to type in the gps where you want to go and it will take you there. This invention is a huge hit because now you don't even have to drive your car. Its more safe and convenient. Some of these people have never heard of or seen the "SHOE CAR". Some people hate the car some people love the car. Some people are also very fascinated by the "SHOE CAR". This car will go for about $35,000. This car also gets 60 miles to the gallon, which is amazing! For that price thats a great deal! This car is also stylish and hip, its the new thing to have. Everyone's getting it and you should too!

Daily journal: Finding The Great Eddie

So ah I caught this earlier this morning. He is the world's lasrget bunny rabbit! We named him Eddie. We've been chasing him for years and years and I Gary Wilson caught him! My grand father would be so proud. You see, My grand father had been chasing him too, and same with my Papa. They both don passed away now but I know they are so proud up in the heavens. My Papa wasn't as in to it as me and my grand father were. Me and my grand father devoted our whole life into chasing after this bugger.
The next day I took Eddie to a showing where a lot of people gather to show off their catchings. I knew I was going to surprise everybody. Everyone was going to be so jealous of Eddie. A lot of people try to say the rabbit that they caught was "Eddie" but its not. I have him right here. I started setting up my showing station and I went back into my trailer to grab Eddie who was sleeping in his cage. I grabbed the cage and brought it outside to my showing station. I set the cage on a beautiful red velvet table cloth to make it look even more spectacular. This red velvet table cloth lured tons of people to my showing station. Everyone was snapping quick photos of Eddie and I. At the end of the showing someone wins a trophy for the best prized catching. Of course I won the best prized catching. So I got that beautiful shiny gold trophy to take home and I knew exactly where I'd put it. I put it on my special shelf of memories. It was the perfect spot to put it. I also decided to keep Eddie as a pet. I spent my whole life searching for him and I finally got him. I wasn't just going to give him away. I made him a little spot next to my special shelf to remember that special day when I found Eddie.

Daily journal: Fictional character

I just left the Jersey Shore, my most favorite place on this earth. I'm going to miss Jenny and the girls and vinny mostly and Pauly, Ron and Mike. I was almost home until I realized that I forgot my spray tan equipment. Ohhh no! I needed to be tan. I have to turn around and go get my equipment. So I turned around the Escalade and headed back to the Jersey Shore. It would take me about an hour to get back there. On my way back I kept on thinking of horrible things that could have happened to my equipment. Someone could have stolen it. Someone could have hid it. I hope nothing had happened to it because I don't know what I would do without my spray tanning equipment. Finally I arrived back at the Jersey Shore and what do you know, Mike "The Situation" was still here.
"Hey Snoookie!"
"Hey!"
"Why are you back? Did you forget something?"
"Yeah I forgot my spray tanning equipment! I can't live without it!"
"Yeah I know you can't hahah! I was just actually going to leave."
"Oh okay! Well I'll miss you sooo much!"
"I'll miss you too Snooks!"
I was finally left alone in the whole house to find my equipment. I first looked in my room where I had left it. It was no where to be seen. I looked in Pauly and Vinny's room, No where! I looked in the whole entire house and it was not there! So I grabbed my purse and started to head out the door and right as I opened the door to leave, SURPRISE! Everyone from the Jersey Shore was out side waiting for me. They had my spray tanning equipment. It was a surprise. I thought everyone left but they were all outside in the front waiting for me to leave so they could surprise me! We all had a big group hug and said we would miss each other until next season on the Jersey Shore.

Daily journal: Paper shredded

OH NO! OH NO! OH NO! I'm going to be shredded! ahhh! I don't know what to do. Just then I looked over to the back of the shredder to look for a cord. I spotted it. Now I just needed to figure out how to unplug the cord. I started to swing a little bit to see if I could swing hard enough to get over to the plug. I kept swinging untill I hit the cord. I grabbed it and it unplugged itself! YES! I made it! I was going to die! Just then the human came back and plugged it in.

Daily journal: Marian Bartsch and Joey Catsalgi...

Marian Bartsch and Joey Catsalgi met on his first day of work. Marian and Joey seemed to get along fairly well. They had alot in common and they both had problems being social and outgoing. They both were very shy and kept things to themselves, but when they were together they felt like they could share anything together. Marian had a terrible child hood, and he wanted to share what had happened to him in his child hood to Joey. So on their weekly meeting at Caribou he thought he would tell him. As Marian was on his was to Caribou he was thinking about how he would tell him. Once he got there he felt a little better. As they were talking for awhile he thought he'd bring it up by saying I think I need to share something with you. For one, because I've never told anyone before, and two I feel like I trust you and can talk to you about this. Joey said okay I totally understand, and said tell me. So Marian started out by saying well I hate my father, and I have no idea where he is today. You see when I was little my mother ran away because she hated him to. My father was very abusive to her. He starved us. The only way I ate was going to my grandmas house or friend's house or school. My mom pretty much never ate. My mom ran away to find a better place. She left me because she also had no money to even support herself, how was she going to support both of us? So she left me their with my father. He would beat me constantly. I would go to school with black eyes and bruises every where. My teacher would ask me whats going on? And I couldn't say anything because they would call the cops to my house and he would know that I told and I probably would be dead. Even though I didn't say what happened I'm pretty sure they knew because a month later he got taked to prison for abuse. I got put into a orphanage. It was horrible there to but at least I didn't get beat. I missed my mother so much, I prayed that she would come find me or when I got older I would make a lot of money and hire investigators to find her. Here I am today, 27 years old and I make enough money to have people look for her. I think my father is still in prison but i'm not completely sure.

Extra fun!

Daily journal: Found out your going to die...

So I found out I am going die... I have one month to accomplish all that I want before I die. There are a few things i'd like to do before I die. 1) Travel 2) Party with the Jersey Shore cast 3) Go shopping and get everything I want 4) Climb mountains 5) Camping and fishing trip. These are a few things that i'd like to do before I die. First I want to go to Alaska and then Hawaii and then Japan. A few days in each place. I also want to visit a concentration camp. So 2 weeks will consist of traveling. Then I have to go to the Jersey Shore and stay with the Jersey Shore cast for a week to party with them and hang with them before I die. While this is all going on I will be shopping in every place I go, but I would forsure want to go to New York and hit up a few shops, which is really close to Jersey Shore anyways. Then I would go to Colorado and climb some mountains and maybe go climb Mt. Everest. Then I would spend my last week on a camping fishing trip with the family. I want my family to have a fun relaxing last time with me on this earth. I just want to be with my family for the last time I have here on this earth.

Villanelle Poem: Pool

Water ice cold in my gracious pool
I want to jump in but its way to cold
But if I jumped in I would look really cool

My mom's looking at me sitting on a stool
She seems to be shaking like she's cold
My dad's inside also playing pool

My mom found my dogs stool
It looked like it was old and cold
I said "i'll pick it up, it's cool"

My mom sat there so long that she broke the stool
It broke because she was shaking because it was too cold
Just like the temperature of the pool

Oh that poor little stool
look so cold
and cool

My dad bought a brand new stool
My mom said "burr its cold"
My dad went back to playing pool
I said "oh well thats cool"

Etheree: Smokey night sky

Smoke
fills the
burning home.
Ashes burning
everywhere inside.
It is so hard to breathe.
Smoke that fills the night time sky
and puts people in such a fright.
The house that was there earlier is
now demolished into tiny pieces.

Daily journal: How ridiculous I was as a....

How ridiculous I was as a octopus. I am an octopus. I am constantly drenched in ocean water. I swim around all day looking for food and excitement. One day I was feeling silly and I wanted to see how long I could last outside of the ocean water, so I swam up to the shore and stayed out of the water for a little bit. I started to not be able to breath and I got super scared so I went back down into the sea where I belong. Wooftah! That was sooo scary. My friend dolphy saw me from afar and he swam over to me. He's like why are you being so goofy? Why would you think you could go out of the water... You know we can't survive outside of this deep blue sea. He laughed, I knowww... Its just I was so bored and It entertained me for a moment. Dolphy decided he wanted to try. He always jumped up in the air sometimes while swimming, but that was only for a split second. So Dolphy twisted around and went up to shore. He layed up there for the longest time... 3 full minutes untill he came back down. He said he felt fine. He said it was a little hard to breath but other than that it was entertaining. Then we both decided that we were hungry and that we should go down to the local burger shop by the coral reefs.

BREE CHRISTEN Acrostic Poem

Bubbly brown haired girl
Really blue eyes
Is in love with country music
And hip-hop
No job at the moment
And loves pickles

Christian is my religion
Has danced for 10 years
Really enjoys camping and fishing
Interested in going to Normandale this fall
Snowboards in the winter
Trusting people is hard for me
Every day I listen to music
Now you know a little bit about me

Daily journal: Change the world

If I could change the world I would start with rascism. There is so much rascism in our world its nuts. Everyone is equal. I wish that there was no such thing as rascism. I would also change the drinking age to 18 because when your 18 your considered an adult. I don't understand why the drinking age is 21 anyways.. its 3 years after your an adult. I dont know but I think it should be 18. I also think that I would change the gambling age to be 16. The casino's would make so much more money than they already do. I honestly don't even know why their is a certain age to gamble anyways. You just sit there and press a button on the screen. I would also change our president. I don't really like Obama... I don't hate him by any means.. I just didn't vote for him. I don't like some of the things he's done already. Like letting the prisoners go in guantanamo bay. Not a good idea! I would also change the tattoo age. It used to be if you have a parent then they could sign for you, but now you have to wait till your 18. I think they should change it back because its your choice if you want that on your body. Its stupid how you have to wait till your 18. I also wish people wouldn't be so judgemental on people who have tattoos for a job. People like think its unsanitary or something. Its just in your skin, it doesn't mean you aren't clean. Its not like the tattoo is going to jump out of someone's skin and kill you? Thats nuts that people think that thats going to happen. I don't really know what else i would change because i can't really think of anymore at the moment. but i know that our world would be much happier and safer is rascism never exsited. I also wish there was no child abuse or animal abuse or any kind of abuse in our world.

Sonnet poem: I love you

Where is he on this beautiful sunday
If he is there than I should feel betrayed
I love this man for where is he today
His love for me feels like I am decayed
I wish he loved me more than I love him
For he loves someone else much more than I
Come back to me, we are perfect, Tim
You are going to make me start to cry

You are my other half, don't you know this?
Why can't you see that I care about you?
I know you don't love your new little miss
I know you once loved me for this is true
I love you I love you
As you should too

Daily journal: 3 people for dinner...

So i'm waiting at Outback Steakhouse and I was wondering where my guests were untill I started to see them coming. There I saw Marilyn Monroe and John Kennedy and Matthew Mcconaughey, my husband. Matthew and I have been married for 6 years. We met at a Caribou Coffee in Aruba. As Matthew and I were having dinner with Marilyn and John we started to discuss tons of different things. We both wanted to know what happened with his ex wife. Because now Marilyn and John were married. John had cheated on his ex wife with tons of different women including Marilyn. John had some sort of fascination with Marilyn. He was sort of obsessed with her. Marilyn was a beautiful women with great curves and hair. And boy she could sing. She was also a great actress. She was definately far more interesting and lovely than his ex wife. His ex wife was annoying and strict and nagged abou everything. Matthew and I laughed because all women seem to nag.

Assonance poem: Spring Kids

The morning was cold with a bold statement
The morning dew was wet and set in the ground
You could taste the spring paste fill the air
It made you feel real, refreshed and lively

Should you go out and play? I would
Young girls and boys grab their toys and play
Boys playin' in dirt while girls play with their pearls
The mom would tap her foot to say "nap time kids"

The kids always enjoy their snack pack
The spring melted away the snow and felt like mush
The grass was as brass as a trumpet but was slowing turning
The three trees in the front were a rusty brown

Daily journal: Random

I wish I could just find a job and move out as soon as possible. I just can't live with my mom anymore. She just gives no support at all. She keeps on telling me that i'm not going to graduate so she should just return all my graduation stuff because theres no hope for me. She thinks i'm messing up my whole life when i'm not, I'm finally just living my own live the way i want it too. Not the way my mom wants it too. Just because she screwed up her life doesn't mean she can steal my life and control it. uh no this is my life im 18 years old and she needs to let go.

Daily journal: Scared of something

One morning our family woke up bright and early. It was the day that we were going to go to Valley Fair. I was all awake and ready for the long day at the fair. I was wearing shorts and a tank top and my favorite pink flip flops. As everyone got ready I was watching my favorite show called Rugrats. Finally! everyone was ready and we were walking out to the car. Before we actually started the journey to the fair we had to stop and get gas at a local Holiday. So we finally started driving out there. The drive seemed like it was taking forever, but i think it felt that way because i just wanted to get there as soon as possible. Once we arrived you could tell because you could see the huge crazy rides from the entrance. They looked scary and intimidating. My parents had already been here before so they knew what rides to go on first. First we went on these Antique cars that you drive on this cool little track. That was so much fun because i couldnt drive yet. Then my mom wanted to go on The Wild Thing. We walked on over to where it was and i started to shake. My mom asked me whats wrong and i said i was scared. I didnt want to go on that ride. It looked way too high and scary for me. My mom was really mad at me that i wouldnt go on it and i started to feel bad. So i decided to go on it. We got in line and my mind had racing thoughts of the ride crashing and breaking. I started to sweat and needed some water. My mom gave me some water to drink. It was also very hot out so i could have fainted or dehydrated. It was finally our turn to get on the ride. I was terrified.
I wanted to sit in the middle with my brother because the middle seemed the safest to ride. I got in the middle and buckled up. I sat there and thoughts rushed through my head again. I started to cry, and then the ride took off. WOOSHH! Off we went as the ride started to creep up, and up, and up, and up. Then finally we were sitting at the top of the ride. From there it was a straight drop down. I was shaking in fear. Then WAM! The ride flew down.

Alliteration poem

On a cold, chilling night
The peeping pink-nosed pom
Was in such a frosty fright
The bad barking blew a bomb

It was boiling, beachy and bright
What a pretty day for a precious, promising prom
Oh she was a super, sexy sight
The only sopping sad screamer was mom

Daily journal: Earliest childhood memory

One day as a little girl I was watching t.v. It was really early in the morning and everyone was still asleep, except my brother of course. We were watching our favorite show called "Rugrats". It was on every morning. I started to get really hungry so I went to the fridge and started to look around for what looked good. I was pushing and moving stuff around to see what was all in here. Then all of a sudden I came across the most amazing food in the world... Pickles! They looked so scrumptious! I grabbed out the jar of pickles and started eating them. Oh they were so delicious! I could eat the whole jar! My brother was thirsty and asked if I could get him a glass of milk. So I went into the fridge again and grabbed out the milk carton. I poured him a big glass of milk and brought it too him. I started to munch on those pickles again. When I set the pickle jar down I accidently knocked over his glass of milk. It spilled everywhere. I ran to the kitchen to find something to wipe up the spill. I found a towel and I started soaking up all of the milk that poured into the carpet. I finally got everything all cleaned up. I went back to my chair and started eating the pickles again. As soon as I knew it, the whole jar was gone. I was so sad that they were all gone, but at the same time I was scared because I knew that my mom would be mad if she knew that I ate all of the pickles in one day. So I went and hid the empty pickle jar in the garbage can. I digged through the garbage and set it down and put stuff on top of it to hide it. Now my mom will never find out that I ate those pickles.

Daily journal: A woman walks out into the cold night air...

A woman walks out into the cold night air. Her hands are shaking from what just happened… Her name was Jen and she was in shock... she couldn't beleive that that just happened to her. The man dropped her off at some gas station. Jen was stranded all by herself. Earlier she was at work. Jen worked overnights at a local hotel. She was the only one on shift except one of the cleaning ladys. The cleaning lady happened to be upstairs in one of the rooms. Jen was left downstairs at the front desk all alone.. She had heard of stories before of women getting kidnapped and raped from hotels. Jen was scared but she tried to put it behind her. About 10 minutes later she noticed this car sitting out front. She tried looking and seeing who was inside it but the cars' tint was too dark. Then all of a sudden this mad in a dark suit came out of the vehicle. He was a good looking man, older. looked like he had some money. He came up to the front desk and asked for a room....

December

December is a jolly green
The color of wreaths and mistletoes
December feels like chilling cold
It sounds like laughter and gift opening
Smells like cookies and milk
Taste like peppermint candy canes
December brings lots of joy

Daily jounal: I wake up and...

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 tried to open my eyes but I couldn't. Then I tried to move my arm but then to realize that I didn't have an arm. I tried opening my eyes again and they were almost open just really blurry. I tried blinking some more and then I got a clear vision. I looked down at my arm where it hurt and there was no arm I had lost my arm somewhere and I have no idea how this happend. I sat there trying to remember anything, but I drew a blank. All of a sudden cop cars and ambulances rushed right to me. They were moving so fast beacuse I was loosing so much blood. My whole body was numb so at the time I didn't even notice I was loosing so much blood. Once they got me on the carrier they carried me into the ambulance. In there they were hooking me up to things and using towels to soak up my blood. Then this lovely lady asked me a few questions. She asked me what my name was, Adam, Then she asked me for my birthday, March 3, 1984. Then she started asking me what happend and what was I doing before this all happened. I didn't know anything. Then we finally arrived at the hospital where they were rushing me into the doors and into some emergency room. As they were running me through the hallways they were shouting things, you know doctor terms. Stuff I had no idea the meaning of. It sounded kind of scary.

You keep going untill it stops
You need to keep pushing and striving
If you don't, you'll just be stuck

Struggling, fun, relaxed
Difficult, hard, confusing
Life comes to everyone different
But there are similarities

Random daily journal

So now that i'm 18 my mom puts more rules on me than i had before? This just doesn't make any since. I never used to have a curfew or had to tell her where i was. Now i have to be home at 9 and text her every second... I though i would have more freedom as an 18 year old. My mom also hates my new boyfriend. She doesn't give him a chance, instead she is obsessed with my ex boyfriend and is always hanging with him... Therefore i can never have my boyfriend over because my ex is there. This is why i never want to be home. If me and my boyfriend want to hangout we always go to his house or something. Last time he was over was my birthday... January 6th. My boyfriend feels really awkward with my ex always being at my house and he feels intimidated. My mom hasn't given my new boyfriend a chance and that isn't fair at all. My mom thinks she can keep me from seeing m boyfriend.. ha well that isn't possible. Im 18 and im going to chose to hang with my boyfriend... im not going to sit home while my ex is here... She needs to quit pushing me on my ex and my ex's family. I honestly want nothing to do with them... I moved on a longggg time ago and this is ridiculous that i get reminded of what he did to me everyday he is over. this is why i am never home. If these rules keep up, i am moving out. This is annoying. My mom is like a 16 year old and has never grown up.. We dont get along anymore because im growing up. I see her as annoying. She always wants me to go out and live out my senior year and have fun with friends. And then she says i cant go hangout with my boyfriend? What does she want me to do.. sit home? like seriously every time me and my boyfriend hangout i have a blast and were always with other people. i feel like im having the most fun i have ever had. When i was 17 i could do anything. be home whenever and i didnt have to text her where i was. i just told her where i was and it was all fine. i could hang with my boyfriend whenever.. now that im 18 i cant do any of that? this isn't how its suppose to be. legally i can do whatever i want now. My mom is just scared and freaking out that im going to leave her and move out.. which i am.. cuz shes crazy. She needs to go back to the crazy hospital. she tried killing herself cuz me and my ex broke up. she is insane! She seriously is like a little teenager. I can't handle her anymore. im growing up and shes not. Im so sick of fighting with her everyday.

Out of the dark we came into the...

Out of the dark we came into the dangerous hall where there was an awful reek. The stench was of some rotted trumpet lying in the corner. As I wondered through this creepy hall a crafty little squirrel ran up behind me. He noticed the banana in my bag, and he jumped up and got ahold of it. When I finally noticed the squirrel, he was already at the end of the hall. "Hey thats my banana!" Then I ran after the squirrel... That was the only little bit of food I had left. When I turned the corner there he was munching on my banana. I steadily walked closer to him, very quietly. Once I got really close, I snatched up the squirrel and he squeled. I grabbed my half eaten banana from him and dropped him on the floor. The little squirrel was sad and he ran to the corner of the hall and quivered there. He seemed scared and looked like he had no one. I started to feel really bad that I took this from him and was going to leave him. I went over to him and picked him up. I said I was sorry and put him on my shoulder. It kind of felt like I had my own personal side kick. As we traveled along through this dark hallway, we came apon things people wouldn't even believe. No wonder why this squirrel was so scared and alone. All these scary creatures had eaten his family, and he had no one. He was fighting for his life this whole time.

Limerick: Dog

I decided to walk my dog
He jumped up and ate a frog
He started to choke
I said a joke
Therefor he got lost in the fog

Ode To Fish

Ode to a fish where he swims so gracefully
He seems so happy and carefree
His life seems so easy
Glideing through the water
Oh so swiftly
Oh this fish is so small and so colorful
So many lovely colors
He makes me feel happy

10 years from now...

Today I woke up and felt refreshed. I got up and started making breakfast for my two kids, Rylee and Jon. After I sat and ate breakfast with Rylee and Jon I went upstairs to wake up my husband Jon and started to get ready for work. After I got out of the shower I put Redken Anti-snap in my hair and started to blow dry it. Then I started to put on my bare minerals make-up, which I am almost out of. Once my hair and make-up were done I went into the bedroom where my closet was and started to decide on what I was going to wear to work. While I did that, My husband Jon was still in bed, so I had to wake him up again... He finally got up and i picked out my outfit. As he hopped in the shower i gave  him a kiss and said "have a good day hunny". As i went into the garage i got the keys to the Toyota Prius and hopped in the car, and off i drove to work. We were living in lakeville so my job was pretty far. I was working downtown as a chemist, testing certain medicines for certain things. I had to work 7:30-5 every day except weekends... I had weekends off! When i got home from work my kids were watching t.v. and eating snacks. My husband was upstairs in our bedroom crashed out. I went upstairs and changed into comfy clothes and went downstairs into the kitchen. I was starting to make dinner. Lasagna sounded delicious! After dinner was done i went and gathered everyone to eat. We all discussed how our day went.

Most embarrassing moment

One day my brother had his friend Chris over and we were all upstairs in the kitchen. We were just bummin' around and joking. Then we started to talk about Long John Silver. And i started singing it. As i was singing it i was rubbing my legs and bam my pants slid down. That was so embarrassing. There i was standing there in my underwear feeling so stupid.

Daily Journal: Zebra and Lion

One day I was on my way to work and I thought i'd stop and get some coffee for me and my co-workers. I walked in to Dunn Brothers and the smell of freshly brewed coffee filled the air. I got what I usually got, caramel frappe and the rest just coffee. While I was waiting I was looking at this magazine which had Britney Spears on the front cover. "Ding", My coffee was done! I grabbed the coffee and headed out the door. Right as I walked out the door out ran a Zebra! I had no idea where it had come from but it flew right past me. I fell backward and all the coffee spilled on me. Ahhh! It burns! As a few people were helping me up, we heard this obnoxious roar coming not too far from here. We all look around and we see a Lion looking at us. He looked hungry and mean. We all screamed and ran back into the coffee shop. Everyone was talking and calling they're loved ones. Some people were saying that the animals could have broken out of the zoo. I mean why else would there have been a Zebra and a Lion? No one could think of any other reason why.. Everyone got together and started to wander what others animals had gotten out. Untill we heard these loud footsteps going thud, thud, thud, thud! The footsteps were really loud and we could only think of one animal that would be that huge... an Elephant! Oh no, an elephant could tear apart the city and kill a lot of people. Everyone started to freak out!

Thank you Ali

Thank you so much ali for always being there for me. You are my best friend. We always have each others' backs and stick up for each other. You truly are an awesome friend. People are mean to you all the time and I don't know why. You are such a nice person and you always are so giving. I am so happy we are friends especially since you stole my ex from me. hahah! But you know what, we are mature enough to look past those stupid things. Even though I hated your guts back in th day, our friendship never would of happend otherwise. Every time we hang out or just even in school we like get each other. We are so much alike and we understand each other. Or even when we go to the mall and we just walk around doing stupid pointless things that make us laugh. hahah they are such fun times that I will never forget. Everytime I come home from hanging out with you I am always in a better mood. Your overall a great person and when you grow up you will do great things. You should definately have a job later in life where you work with people. You just have that smile that cheers people up. You know how to say something dumb to make someone laugh to cheer them up. I don't know how many times you've came to me asking for advice. I give you good advice all the time which is good because sometimes you needed my advice so you wouldn't go do something that you shouldn't. I also don't know how many times you have cried on my shoulder. I have helped you through hard times and i'm always there for you. Your also always there for me. I don't cry often in front of people but I know that I have cried on your shoulder a few times. You are always there for me when I need you. You try and give me advice but its hard because im usually the advice giver. But we try hard to do what we do. Ali you are an amazing person and an awesome friend. Don't ever let anyone tell you any different.

Journal Entry: Most Beatiful Place

The most beautiful place i've been was in California. I went to California in 8th grade with my family. We stayed in this gorgeous hotel with a gigantic pool and hot tub. Every night after our long day of exploring California, we would go back to our palace and soak in the hot tub. This was one of the most relaxing times of my life. I had no worries and no fears. I didn't need to be anywhere and I wasn't in any rush. In California they have these old ships that you can tour, so we decided that would be pretty fun to do. So we payed for our ticket and got on the ship. This ship was soooo big that heliocopters land on it. There are heliocopters pads for the heliocopters to land on. This ship was so cool to be on, it almost felt haunted in there. We went in so many rooms where it was dark and dreary and almost a wet feeling. I got to see where the Army men slept. They slept in these tiny little beds stacked on top of each other in this acute room. We also got to see where they ate all their meals. Being on this ship was so much fun and so interesting. It made me think about alot of things and how people have to live through things. I know I couldn't of slept in that small room on a small cot like bed. Going to California was the most relaxing and adventurous places i've ever been. Just going to that beautiful beach everyday, sitting in the hot sun, made me love California. I recommend going out there, you'll wanna go back every year for your vacation. Going to California was the first time that I saw palm trees. Also when I went there I just recently got a cell phone with a camera, so I was taking so many pictures of the palm trees every where I went.
