A/N~ I really am sorry for making everyone wait so long for this update.
The truth is that I would have updated this weekend…but something happened that changed that.
On Friday there was a plane crash in Islamabad, Pakistan, (where I am from)
It was horrible…at least 150 people died.
I found out the next morning that my mom's cousin and her two children, only 10 and 11 years, were three of those casualties. They left behind a husband and two other young children.
I was glued to the screen watching people scream and cry for all those loved ones…I don't know why I couldn't tear myself away, it was so depressing. So many people died…
But afterwards, it just didn't feel right doing anything fun…it was more like a day of mourning.
Sorry to bother all you guys with this…you probably couldn't care less…
Anyways...on with the chapter.
I loved your responses! Ha-ha, they all made me laugh; and I really needed those laughs...especially the teacher stories…If you guys have any time, go back and read some of the answers. I'm glad that YOU guys are aware of the world's dilemma.
I couldn't really choose one, but at last….I went with ANannyMouse's. It was very honest to say the least.
What I think is the most annoying fashion habit? Oh my. I have an... odd sense of fashion. And not the cool 'I find all sorts of cool vintage clothes for five bucks at the local thrift store' odd... More like... Meh. So I used to think that skinny jeans were really annoying. And I also used to be EXTREMELY annoyed at the "gangsters" who were "looking like some FOOLS with their pants on the ground!". But now the 'Let's take a visit back to the nineties' fad is annoying me. Like, hello. The nineties are done for a REASON. And the whole tights under shorts... and native American type clothes... Nothing against native Americans. Just it get's annoying when everyone's wearing stuff like that and I'm sitting there in my jeans and T-shirt.
Woo. Rant. Sorry 'bout that. :) But you DIIID ask. ;) So yeah. I be done now.
Ha-ha, I'm more like the vintage person myself….I always wear some sort of funky scarf…skinny jeans annoy me because I can't MOVE in them…a long shirt, covering is good…but it's usually my mom that finds all sorts of different stuff for me that actually looks good….so yeah, can't take credit for that :)
Yay for Nigel!
The last poem…most of you got it without looking at the reviews…RIGHT?
Right. :)
Airene Archerway,Mazberrypie, Lara D, Poptart-reader, GrimmSabrina, PenguinLoverGurl, TheAfterShock, arisha, WireWriter, and ANannyMouse got it right...
It was GRANNY RELDA!
Oh, and a special shout out to WireWriter.
WireWriter is the first person who started reading this story later on and actually reviewed all the chapters! Thank you!
PUCKBRINAISAWESOME : Yes, you got Puck right! I'd worry if you didn't.
I loved that part too…can't wait to read the ninth book. And thank you! I wish I could do this for a living! And you sing my poems? Bwahahahah1Sorry, I'm not laughing at you, but that comment made my day! That's awesome! I'm honored!
PenguinLoverGurl: You have taught me never to trust Eugene…but you went with your gut instinct and you were right! Wow…those guys have no life, but your teacher, Mrs. Straka? Ha-ha, I'm guessing she's not the one you gave deodorant to? Cause she sounds like a fun teacher! The fashion thing…I know right? Beiber bangs…ugh. And skinny jeans? You can't move! Ha-ha your reviews always make me laugh! Thank you!
This poem is dedicated to ANannyMouse
Secret
In a house of open doors,
You feel free to walk in.
Because there's joy in the rooms
Unlike anywhere you've ever been.
…
But when that house becomes barren
And the windows are closed.
It's a clear sign
That something's gone wrong.
…
What was it?
Besides storms that came ravaging
What was it?
Besides that wind that set tearing
What was it?
That changed it all?
And caused the poor house
To fall…
…
I used to be carefree
And grin with delight
Throw caution to the wind
Let my actions take flight
…
But I was ignorant in my ways
And surely knew nothing of regret
Until my life grew ablaze
With flames that gave threat
Lest I forget…
…
But how can I not remember?
That mistake
That moment
That misconception I took…
When I thought magic was fine
And all that shared my town
Had nothing against my line.
If I hadn't
He would still be here
Giving me that proud look
And my family would not
have shed a tear…
…
Now I hold that one day
One moment
One decision
Forever in my heart
It changed and ripped
My world asunder
…
And I take heed
In revealing my past
And let my heritage remain discrete
Even to those
Most close to me
…
Heavens and all sorcery forbid
That what I so carefully hid
Be divulged and secrets destroyed
That they be trust into the reality
I was so keen to avoid
…
A/N~ Well, there you have it!
You should be able to guess this one…most people in fanfiction tend to exaggerate this character and make the person go overboard…that's all the clues you'll get this time.
So, I was actually kind of depressed before…since of the plane crash and everything but two things happened that cheered me up.
THE COUNCIL OF MIRRORS CAME OUT!
And I didn't read it. :(
But I got spoilers!
And totally ruined my reading experience. I am so dumb sometimes.
We are finally doing something I like in English!
Anyone know about War of the Worlds? It's a movie, a book and a radio broadcast.
But what I'm talking about is the radio broadcast.
I guess I'm kind of late since it happened in 1938, but I'll tell you the story anyway…some of you might not know.
So this guy named Orson Welles decided to do a radio play about the book War of the Worlds, which is basically about aliens invading Earth and all that.
He told the play in real radio announcements, like TV news reports or something as if aliens really were attacking.
The best part is that people actually fell for it.
Millions of people in the U.S ran away, evacuating their homes because they thought Martians were attacking.
That is talent!
But what does this have to do with any of you guys? I was getting to that.
My class was asked two questions:
What would it take for you to believe aliens were invading the earth?
And what would you do if aliens were actually invading the earth?
I'll give you some answers to the second question that people in my class gave.
Person # 1 : Uh, I'd go down and hide in my basement…..until I die.
Person # 2 : I live in an apartment so I'd go to the laundry room and hide in the dryer so they couldn't find me.
My friend Karina: I'd probably freak out and hyperventilate…..then close the blinds?
( Bwahahahahah. Sorry, Karina.)
Really Dumb Guy: I'd steal ketchup from the grocery store and put it over myself like blood so the aliens think I'm dead.
(Wow…why steal?)
Random Guy: I'd go buy groceries, then put them in a cart and travel along the highway…until I reached a forest where I'd live with deers and stuff…
Me: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH….can't answer the question…hahah….too funny..hahahah.
Needless to say, that was an awesome English class. Even if I wanted to be sad…my classmates' answers were just too much.
That's why I'm going to ask you the same questions!
You can choose either one of the following or answer both!
What would it take for you to believe aliens were invading the earth?
And what would you do if aliens were actually invading the earth?
I'm looking forward to these answers…yes indeed.
But for now…
LEPRECHAUNS ROX ME SOX!
(Once again, I implore you to ask Cat what mental institution she goes too…then again, don't. You won't survive this Kitty)
RAINBOWS!
:D
