communications

Texting is awesome. It’s the best. I wanted a phone with a keyboard for so long but I had to wait for verizon to come out with a good phone like t mobile sidekick. But I have to wait for my phone contract to end, so right now I have a different phone. Some of the reasons I like texting are, if you cant hang out with someone then you can text them. Or if you’re at one friend’s house then you can talk to them and text someone else at the same. Also if you need to tell someone something really fast and u were in a loud place or if it was a secret, you could just text it. And it’s easy to end a conversation if it gets weird or uncomfortable. And you can send picture messages. And you can have something you need to remember saved to your phone instead of having to right it down. But there are also many downsides to texting, like having to pay for every word or not having unlimited text messages. Or also not knowing how to spell a certain word. And if u had to call some one, and u went into a tunnel u wouldn’t be able to understand them. Or u could lose connection and someone might think you hung up on him or her. But with a cell phone u could just wait until u were out of the tunnel so you cant get a signal and text back. If you asked a bunch of people or took survey most of them would probably say they like texting more because of it easiness and speed. I think texting is easier and so do most of my friends and most of the other people that I know.

pure joy.

All of my 5 senses bring me pure joy. Smell, taste, touch, sound, and sight. Smell brings me pure joy. Like right after it rains and everything gets wet, I love that smell. And also vanilla, anything with vanilla smells really good to me. Taste brings me pure joy. Like when I eat a Butterfinger, because it’s crunchy and sweet. But it doesn’t taste like peanut butter usually I hate anything with peanuts/peanut flavor in it but I can’t really taste it in butterfingers. Also hot fries and red bull or monster. It’s my favorite thing to eat and I eat it almost every day after school. Touch brings me pure joy. Like after I eat the hot fries and my tongue is burning and I spray whipped cream on my tongue, then it stops burning and my tongue feels sooo good. Or like when a drink something really hot or really cold and I can feel it going down the back of my throat. Sound brings me pure joy. Like when I have a song stuck in my head all day, then I finally can listen to the song. Or when after were done taking a test and everyone starts talking again. And when it’s really late at night and me and my friends are watching a scary movie and it’s raining and I can hear the sound of the rain outside or when were watching something scary and my dog suddenly starts barking and it makes everyone jump. Sight brings me pure joy. Like when the sun is setting and the sky is pink and orange and it’s so peaceful. And when I see a huge flash of lightning during a thunder storm. Or when it’s so bright outside during the summer that it’s hard to see outside.

spring

Spring is my favorite season. I like it the most because some days are really cold and then the next day it could be really hot. I also like it because when we open my pool, we have to turn the pool heater on really high to re warm the water. So it’s nice and warm when you swim. But there are also downsides to spring. Spring is when all the bugs start to come out again. Ewww. Also spring cleaning, yea right I never clean anything. I try to not make a mess so I don’t have to clean up. Spring is also the hard work season because spring is when people open their pools and start to take out their outdoor furniture. And people start to exercise again and burn off all that winter weight. Spring is probably a pretty popular season to because there is Easter and spring break. PARTY!! I love Easter. My mom still gets us a bunch of Easter candy and chocolate bunnies. But before Easter there is spring break. For spring break this year I spent most of my time at friends houses or they came to my house. I didn’t go anywhere like Florida but my friends and I had an awesome time at home. I do kind of wish we would have gone on vacation. O well. My sister my mom and my dad all have birthdays in the spring. Which is kind of fun. My brother’s birthday and mine are in the fall. October and November. Actually a lot of my friends have spring birthdays. But not me. Spring always seems to have a lot going on in it. Some of my neighbors don’t even really embraces and realize it’s a new year until spring starts. Because that is when all the sports and clubs restart and reopen. So basically spring is my favorite and one of the busiest seasons.

england

A lot of people don’t know this about me but I was born I England. We moved when I was four. I don’t remember it but my mom tells me stuff about it. She told me that the foods in England have a lot less sugar than the foods in America. Also that all the schools start at the same time. I don’t really know a lot about England but I was born there so I have to be interested in it.

IT.

The creepiest movie I remember the most is IT. When I was 9 I watched IT with my brother. My brother got it from his friend’s older brother. My mom didn’t know we were watching it so we had to wait until she went to sleep before we could watch it. I never watched the whole thing because I fell asleep. But the parts I watched gave me nightmare for months. I used to go and sleep in my sister’s room because I was too scared to sleep in my own room alone. The movie is about a killer clown named IT that comes out of shower heads and kills his victims brutally. When he goes into killer mode all his teeth turn razor sharp and his eyes get really small and beady. It sound stupid now but when I was 9 it was terrifying. The part I remember the most was when this kid named belch was running away from IT in a sewer and when IT found him IT folded him in half and shoved him in a sewer pipe. I haven’t seen it in 5 years and it was released in 1990 so the special effects are probably a little outdated. All the reviews I’ve read about it say that the special effects are very lame. The thought of having to be one of the victims in a horror movie creeps me out but if you were on the set filming it would probably feel different. I could never tell if he was wearing a mask or face paint. Because of that whenever I go into the Halloween USA stores and see the IT masks I always get freaked out. It also makes me want to watch the movie again. I’ll probably get all freaked out again but it’s totally worth it.
