Hair

This is the second poem for English class:

Streaming Gold

Her hair went on for miles,
Blonde and beautiful,
She got so many compliments from everyone,
It continued to make them baffle.

She didn’t like it much or at all,
For it made her feel sad,
It required too much work,
Having to brush it made her mad.

It didn’t care about the pain she would endure,
It knotted up in her sleep,
She did everything she could, but it persisted,
Just until her alarm would beep.

She needed to get rid of it,
The knots began to look like argyle,
She did something unthinkable and so,
It soon became depressing as it landed in a pile.
-Rayanna
Wow, poems don't seem that long when you're writing them! I owe my inspiration to Shel Silverstein and these poems:
THE FLY IS IN
ZEBRA QUESTION
HAMMOCK
and THE BRIDGE.

Personal Poem

We have to write 2 poems for school tomorrow. I really like writing poems. At the moment I am stuck on my last poem, but here's my first:

Personal Poem

I honestly don’t see the point, there’s not much to celebrate.
Everyone has a story, mine’s not really that great.
I like Aquamarine and acoustic guitars.
I don’t really care much for cars.

I’m accident prone.
I hate to be alone.
I can’t play floor hockey or whistle very well.
I love Alexis Bledel.

I love white daises.
I can’t drink hot cocoa when it blazes.
I eat cheese burgers.
I like to walk through apple arbors.

I watch Disney channel.
I don’t know what I’d do if this poem was in front of a judge’s panel!
Rockets are cool when they blastoff.
This poem is a monster I have to ward off.

Canada

Home of Bacon(It's really just ham there), NHL stars, Skiers, snowboarders, MOOSE, and Mom's new friend*. She seems really nice. Her daughter is two years younger than me and is pretty cute. She likes ICARLY and doesn't know what Apples to Apples is! Apples to Apples is a description game. A noun is placed on the table and you put what you think the alternating judge would pick(that's how you get points, if yours is chosen). I ALWAYS pick Canada/Canadians. They typically end EVERY sentence with eh, and they have a barely noticeable accent(Not like a British accent), it has a little more diphthong(they hold it out) on the eh in a. I don't really get around people from other places much and it's fun to see what they're like!
*Apparently Mom's Canadian friend thinks we have better candy- Reese there Reese's here, BIG taste difference- they have 1 or 3 in a package- we have 1, 2, or 4. Canadian bacon IS really just ham :( but not at her friend's house! I need a passport.... LOL!

Ghost Town

After a routine colonoscopy, a mean/crazy dentist who hates everyone. He finds love, he falls out of it. He eventually helps people like Melinda(a.k.a Jen. Love. Hewitt) in Ghost Whisperer. He was pretty sarcastic- British Humor! I LOVE IT! It is soo funny! His teeth were all messed up because he was British and he was a dentist in New York which is kind of ironic to me. I always notice teeth first, that'll come in handy for an ocupation in Orthodontics! I'll give it a 3, it wasn't great like the Knowing(scroll down for review) but it wasn't as bad as the Haunting of Molly Heartly.

Slacking...

Three day weekend, thank you Super Intendent!
Hum... What shall I do?
Today is shot, I had Micky D's, we went to the drug store and I got some awesome peach lip gloss. Oh in English I had to write a 7 line rhyming poem. I wrote about colors. Here it is:
Green,
Tangerine,
Aquamarine,
Obscene!
Aubergine,
Burgundy,
Clean.
Tomorrow, Friday. I should finish my AP:world journal entry that was assigned 3 weeks ago but isn't due, I should work on my cords so I can finally finish "Love Story." I should try to do some laundry. I will probably watch NCIS/Disney Channel/CSI/House/Old recordings for a few hours.
Saturday, Mom has to work.
Sunday, I am taking my BFF, A. to the MONSTERS VERSUS ALIENS movie. She couldn't make it last weekend. It should be REALLY funny!
Monday, Back to school (;~D).
Oh yeah we got Def Lepard/Cheap Trick/Poison tickets for the first day of summer! WHOO HOO!!
Random thought of the day: Why do we spell Katchup so many different ways? Catsup, Katsup, etc.?
~Rayanna~
P.S. Why do sooo many people HATE Taylor Swift?!?! I can't talk to ANYBODY about her! She rocks!

Nerd day


This week my school is doing a spirit week where we dress up with a theme of the day. Today was nerd/dork. I wore a nice new plaid shirt over a pink tank, jeans, and my cowboy boots. I looked fabulous!
I got bored a doodled a really cool nerd, this is his Paint program version. No shirt, didn't have enough time/didn't feel like it.

The Knowing- M.T.Y.

Are you crazy if....?

You see every disaster in the future and know the place(lat. and long.), date, and number of people that will die, hear voices? That's Lucille. You believe that the world is just made of a bunch of mistakes and coincidences? That's John- Nicholas Cage. You hear voices and listen to them, do what they say without questions? That's Abby and Calib.

This was the first film that I have ever cried from and shaken from in the theater, no, ever. It was fantastic. It was about a child named Calib who found a piece of paper with a series of numbers that seemed to have no sequence and stole it from his school. His father(Cage), finds the sequence- lat, long, date, number of causalities. Calib meets a little girl(Abby) who's mom(Dianna) has been through a lot, much like Calib's dad.

After John goes through two of the final dates on the list, they go on a journey together to find the final dates on the list. Dianna's mother was Lucille. At the place where Lucille died, John finds a link to his son. They had to find a safe place to hide from the last date on the list. John had an idea once he found the missing numbers and shared it with Dianna.

At a local gas station, two strange men take the children. John later finds them unharmed. They are the chosen ones. This made me cry.

I was shaking from the intensity.

Nightmare rating- 5 if you don't finish it, 2 if you see the ending. Movie rating, 10, out of 5. Thousands of times better than Twilight. Quite possibly the MOVIE OF THE YEAR. Rated PG-13, that would only ring true if you have an EXTREMELY mature 13 year old. I strongly recommend this movie, especially at just under 2 hours.

Busy weekend!

Tonight I was going to watch Ghost Whisperer but it's not on:( I am probably going to watch a movie or something.
Tomorrow I am going to work with my mom, get a hair cut, and go to see the KNOWING with Nicholas Cage with my mom, dad, brother, and best friend A. L.
I don't know what I am doing on Sunday, probably studying.
Random thought of right now. I am watching Disney Channel. Why is Dwayne Johnson taking over the KCAs and all of Disney Channel.

I hate swimming!

I only have one class left(thank the god!) but my headaches are getting much worse. I had stomach problems for a long time, but they recently went way, as well as my head aches. We started swimming and after that my headaches came back. Today it has been almost unbearable-never mind the fact that I haven't taken aspirin yet.... I think it might be the chlorine- we're doing a snorkeling unit. Snorkeling would be my favorite unit, but I have a retainer, so the tube doesn't fit in my mouth, letting water in, and my mask NEVER fits right-letting water in. Today we had to go 8 feet underwater through a hula hoop and I made it but then I couldn't breathe. I rushed to the surface and blew the water out and accidentally breathed through my nose and got if full of water. I pulled off my mask and finally started breathing air again. I have contacts. Chlorine, especially like my school's pool, is not good in my eyes. It burns. Homework doesn't help the head aches either. I hate swimming.
On a lighter note, it's Wednesday, two more days until I get to go see the Knowing with Nicholas Cage!

Kyle XY

Kyle XY was a fantastic show- at least until last night.
Below is a very brief summary of what has happened thus far in the show's existence.
Synopsis: Kyle is a science experiment. His creator(he plays a fatherly figure) built a pod that can sustain life and it kept Kyle safe and growing until the pod's storage place was under attack and his pod was broken, much like a pregnant woman's water breaking causing the baby(or 18 year old) to be born. Kyle had a sister made and born in the same way- Jesse. They have super powers because they can use more than 1o% of their brain(reason #1 why Einstein was so smart(!) Kyle meets Nicole and lives with her and he thinks of her as a motherly figure and her husband and 2 kids as a family. Later(in the most recent season), Jesse joins the family. Kyle saves Nicole's life causing more trouble with the company that made Kyle and Jesse.
Last night,Kyle's ex girlfriend tells Jesse that she will tell Kyle that she wants him back. Kyle discovers that the company wants to make thousands of copies of him and wants to stop it. He confronts the CEO of the company and tells him he can't "cheat god." The CEO threatens Kyle, so Kyle begins to choke him, at which point, the CEO/Rival says that he is Kyle's brother. The show ends there. Did I mention that was the SERIES finale?!?! It wrapped up nothing! We don't know if Kyle stopped/killed him, what happens to Jesse, what happens with Josh(Kyle's adopted family's son)and his girlfriend Andy, what happens with Amanda or anything! It just raised even more questions!
I have a pretty good feeling they are going to HAVE to come back for at least 1/2 of a season in the fall!

Race to Witch Mountain

This was the 3rd coolest Disney movie ever created(To Finding Nemo(1)and Shark Tale(2)! It is rated PG, and is one hour and 44 minutes long(with ticket purchasing time). It was the most awesome kick-butt action-packed movie Disney has ever created. It was HILARIOUS too! When you're watching a horror movie you say "Don't go into the closet/woods/empty street (insert character's name here)!" But they always do. Dwayne Johnson says "Don't go into the pimped out fridge Jack," which is the event that really gets the ball rolling. It was like a Star Wars+Star Trek+Geeks+Alien Expo= Race to Witch Mountain!
Aliens(Dakota Fanning(cute hair BTW!) and some other kid) invade the planet in search for something that can save their planet. With the help of Dwayne, the action pursues and the fun is had by all. It is a great family movie and is very much worth the money for the entertainment, I rated it a 4.5.

Caricatures

Have you ever seen how much a caricature is? They're 20-65 dollars apiece depending on where you go. Why are they so expensive? It usually only takes 2o minutes with oil pastels and charcoal! I am currently in the process of making my own. I will make one of each of my family members and I will post them when I finish. They should turn out okay, I am not expecting anything AMAZING(although, that would be pretty cool!).

L is for Layoff


It is true, it's been on every news channel all day long. L is for Lay off of 20% of the Sesame Street characters. S is for sorry we have to see you go, R is for recession and s is for this is STUPID! W is for Wall street, that truly does effect everything from Main street to Sesame street. First you mess with one character, then you get rid of most of them. NOT NICE! The only for sure character is going is Oscar, the news casters say "Oscar the Grouch gets canned." I am therefore writing this post in memory of Oscar-1969-2009. We will miss you.

Wow. What a difference!


I changed the font and size and some of the colors on my blog today(in case you didn't notice, but you did! Yay you!). I love it! Friday the 13th-number 2 of the year along with Saturday the 14th which, according to Julianna, says that it is Pi day!

Can you tell what this is?? Describe it!

Crazy Hazy Lazy Days of School

Yes, I took the title from an episode of Gilmore Girls- season 1.It sounds much better how it's supposed to be- Crazy Hazy Lazy days of Summer. I felt as though it would fit all the stuff I am gonna right in a second.
I am LOVING this warmer weather!
Yesterday I went to Biology- my teacher's dad is dying so she has to go to Germany all next week:(. I went to P.E. and didn't have to swim(YAY!) because the Showboat teaser shortened all the classes. The teaser was really bad, the singing was very pitchy, all of the stuff they did was in the Audition packet. It mostly made me sad/mad that I didn't make it so I don't get to have the fun backstage. Next year's musical is Les Miserables. In Spanish the kids that always goof around were doing as they always do, and instead of dealing with it appropriately, she decided to stop the review games, the extra credit packets, and give everyone the cruel and unusual punishment of a mandatory write the whole vocab. list x3!
I took the Spanish test and got 102%! I took my English test and did really well(I don't now the exact grade). I took my AP World test and it was REALLY easy! I think I only missed one! Then I took my Algebra test and I think I did really well. Then we had a PEP RALLY! There was NO pep in the pep rally, the Cheerleaders had no idea what they were doing. The girl's indoor track had a GPA of 95.8(they had the highest)!
We are going to the movie theater tomorrow to see Race to Witch Mountain with Anna Sophia Rob and the ROCK!
Have a good weekend!

Bucket list

Well, my mom has a list, and so does my fabulous cousin Yaya. It's my turn. This idea originated from the movie, but with a shorter period of time and far less morbid. My list will be for things I want to do/see before I start college, in no particular order.
1. Ride a train
2. See a Broadway play
3. Actually learn a song on my guitar
4. Swim with dolphins
5. Ride in a hot-air balloon
6. Go to Hollywood
7. Write/finish a book
8. Find a cool club that would be worth the 2 1/2 hour ride home.
If I find more stuff I want to add, I will post them. I haven't done any of the things in this list.

Wonders what a new set a strings and 7 new picks can do!

My mom works on some Saturdays so my dad does some cool stuff for us. Today we went to a local Bike(Motorcycle) shop and my dad bought a new helmet and my brother bought gloves(I don't know why, I thought for Xtreme Video Gaming(LOL!). Then we went to a local music shop and I got a new set of strings, an electronic tuner and 7 new picks(for when I loose them, I only use one kind in one color)! I must confess that I have owned my guitar for 5 years, but if you put all my time playing together you'd probably get about a month of playing :(, well, I've picked it back up because I still want to play and I have the time now. My guitar is supposedly getting too small for me....

Taylor Swift

I love Taylor Swift. She is my most favorite artist ever. She's only 17, she plays acoustic, and she doesn't have a diploma- she started her career instead! Anyway, we went to a local store and I got the CUTEST summer clothes ever, guess whose brand! Taylor Swift! I have the same hair(a little darker though) as her and I play acoustic (kind of...)too! I have tons of clothes for summer now! I can't wait.
I have seen plaid on everyone, where are they getting it?!? Do you know how hard it is to find a cheap pair of cute cowboy boots?!?! Why is it that when you have money and you know what you want, you can't find it?!?!
Ew. I have swimming in gym, for the next 8 (odd) days. Time for the school's chlorine to reek havoc on my hair once again. I just don't get it. At least we don't have to ride the bus back to our school any more, but by the time we get changed(10 minutes), get instruction(10 minutes), get in the pool and warm up(5ish minutes), and do what ever the task is(5ish minutes), it's time to get changed again and go back to class! Therefore, you only get 10 minutes in the pool, and you're wet for the whole day! It would make more sense if gym classes were longer to have swimming.
