My Friend Who Died and Came Back To Life


My, I've GOT IT!!! I have a perfect topic! I am still doing the camp topic but I am going to only tell one story. That is the story of a friend at camp who had a seizure in the water, died, and came back to life. I am not going to tell you all the details now so you will have to wait until I post the manuscript for my speech on here, then you will know what the whole story is. It is really breathtaking and life changing. I know it changed my life immensely. It really made me realize that there is a lot more to life than here on earth. It made me even stronger in my faith that God really DOES exists. I know not everyone is a christian but I would like to tell everyone what I believe and believe in it very strongly... SO that is going to be my topic. A life changing event that I would oh, most deffinetly like to share with others.

My Narrative Speech Ideas...


Just a few days ago, our class was asked to write a narrative speech for our speech unit. Then we will need to recite our speech in front of the class. I think it will go pretty well. but the only downer is that I don't know what to talk about. I am having a speakers' block. It has been one day over due now that I don't have my speech topic. I am totally stuck...


OK, well I am not totally stuck...I have two topics down. One of them is my camp. I went to this really exciting camp during the summer of going into seventh grade. Omigosh, it was the best camp ever! It took place at Camp Fort Wilderness...you know the place way up north about five hours from school. When I was there, I met a whole bunch of people. Ok...i am not going to give you all the details because I might do that for a speech and I don't want to give all the details away... Do you know what I mean?? I hope so...


OK, so anywhoo, I was going to say my other topic. Well, it is not exactly a topic but it is a story I wrote called "Paint"... I am not exactly finished writing it but I am off to a good start. But now that I think of it, a lot of people in my class have already read the begining three or four chapters so I don't want to bore them by reading it...well actually SPEAKING it to them again. So I don't think I will do that...


It is really bothering me that I don't have a third topic. I need to think up of ideas...hmmm... I think I am going to just do the Camp speech because it is the only thing that comes to my mind right now... OK...so I have a lot of topics for persuasive and demonstrations, but not too much for narrative which is REALLY unusual...you know?


Well...I wonder if it is OK to just keep the third topic slot blank...maybe i should just fill it out with something really random like pickles or...lemons...Hey, I don't know. This is hard!!! OK, I will just put down my third topic as my trip to Hawaii...I don't want to do that one tho because I talk about it too much and too many people get mad at me because they are too jealous that I did win the National Igniting Creative Energy contest and won a trip to Hawaii and Washington D.C. where I met Hilary Clinton in person...heh heh heh...sorry, I got a little carried away there...


SO anywhoo...I will write that down then I will probably come back here to make another post, but then again...I may not...it all depends on how tired I am and what time it is...SO I guess I will see you later!!! Buppy 4 now!!!

Strange People On My Bus


There are some really weird people on my bus...I swear, these "people" do not get enough sleep...the other day I caught Nick B. singing The Twelve Days Of Christmas in a very "operetic" style. It was a very...intresting...experience... strange but intresting...


He, then, started to sing these really cheesy and corny songs from third grade. I didn't remember them...well until now...LOL!

Time is a gift...

Lately I have been thinking...and I have been noticing things...around me...my environment is becoming more complex and interesting. When I was little, i just passed through time like it was of no importance...but now I savor each moment as if it was my last...because time, is a gift...sometimes we as humans need a simple break from our "priorities" to take a breather..from things that aren't THAT like shopping for a "cute shirt"... watching T.V. (too much is time killing in a bad way)...videogames...and of course the Internet...But truly... Time is a gift...savor the best of it... Live this day as if it was your last...

What Time Has To Offer...

Today I will seek
Today I will learn
Today I will wonder
Today I will earn
But what about tommorrow?

Will my sorrows end?
Will I become new?
Will I lead a soul?
But what about tonight?

Will I seek fortune?
Will I be perfound of what life brings?
Will I be a better person?
Will I have hope?
But wait...
What about NOW...

A Day In The Life Of...


In my Language class, I have to write journal entries like a "Day In The Life Of..." then I would put my name. I am not going to use my real name for this site just for safety precautions. But, I will refer to myself as "Mixxie"...my cover up name...


I will try to write in this everyday. I hope she will let me do the journals this way. I have not asked her yet, but I hope she will like the idea because I am more motivated to type. Yes, I know I can just print out whatever I have to say, but I don't want to have to do that. I just want to type what i have to say and then press "post".


Anyway, printing out on paper is like, totally, wasting one of our most precious resources, trees... We need trees to breathe. We don't need paper for something that someone is probably going to look at once. I mean, if you write something, more people should see it with just one click.


I also believe that it is a more intreating way to convey a thought. It is more visual and more motivating for me. So, I hope that my language teacher will let me do my "Day In The Life Of..." journal on this website...afterall, that is what I created this blog for.
