Oaah what can I say about Alicia's mom? SHE'S GOT IT GOING ON! She seriously is the best! I know a lot about Alicia's mom, which you may think is wierd, but I promise I'm not a stalker. Alicia's mom is theee bomb!
One time, it was a cold night in December, Jacqui (Alicia's mom), took us Christmas caroling. We went to lots of houses! We also sang country songs in the car with the radio blasted. It was a great time! Also, one night we were all over to Alicia's house and her mom made us popcorn and we watch Pirates of the Carribean! It was so fun! We also played dress up with Jacqui's high heels. She didn't even care when we broke one! Jaqui helps us discover the world in such a fun way!
I know a lot about Jacqui. She got her nails done like a month or so ago. She is a fantastic dancer! She also dresses nice, she even owns some cool yoga pants. She is one cool cat! She's got a boyfriend, They're a good couple. Jacqui is awesome!
Jacqui is a cool person and she is fun to hang with! If you haven't met her, you should!You can see the Alicia's mom really does got it going on!

Dear Freshy: Initial and Final.
helllo there kidd!
Welcome to your freshmen year. It's a fun one, and a hard one. I have to say that some classes like most remain fairly easy but others get harder and you have to push yoursel in order to succeed. I know that I struggled myself this year. Remember to always put school first, keep your priorities straight. Don't let sports bring your grades down because when grade check comes you'll be sitting on the bench and have a bad grade. Remember to do Miss Transue's blogs because they have a big effect on your grade, and don't slack off. Keep up on homework otherwise you are just making it harder on yourself. But don't let this blog worry you. If you do your homeowork and keep up with class assignments you should do fine! Don't be afraid to go get extra help because you can only benefit from it.
Also, don't let drama or any little things like that get to you. Drama is for people that have no life of there own to be happy about. If you get bullied or anything like that don't be afraid to stand up for yourself. Being a freshmen it is going to be hard. Whenever something goes wrong the upper classmen tend to blame is on the freshmen. Don't let it bother you. Remember that you'll be picking on other freshmen someday. d: Most of the teachers this year are pretty cool, and understanding. Don't be afraid to ask for help. Don't let other drama queen, two-faced people run your Freshmen year. It's a fun one so don't waste it. Enjoy it!
Stay focused on your grades! Don't allow yourself to be pushed around. I also encourage you to take part in some kind of extracurricular activity. Enjoy your freshmen year while it lasts because you only want it to happen once!(;
Laterrrrr dawg!, Kyrston.

Sing It Out: Initial and Final.
“Kick off your shoes, Ay Oahh Ay Oahh!” The song “Check Yes Juliet” by We the Kings contains allusions to Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare. The song depicts the love story and does a good job comparing the song to the story.
"Check Yes Juliet" illistrates the love story Romeo and Juliet. It mainly focuses on the two lovers running away so that they can freely be together. In the story Romeo and Juliet are not allowed to be together because their families are enemies so they must run away in order to be together. In the song the narrator is convincing the girl to run away with him by saying, "Run, baby, run/ Don't ever look back/ they'll tear us apart/ If you give them the chance." It depicts the book in an effective way.
The allusion in this story is pretty accurate. The narrator of the song says, "Just sneak out/ And don't tell a soul good bye." That is exactly what Romeo and Juliet's plan is. He also says that he will throw rocks at her window and wait for her to come outside, which is kind of like what Romeo said to Juliet. Instead of throwing rocks he climbed to her balcony, and instead of waiting for her to come out, he went in. The song portrays the story perfectly. Almost exactly the same.
In conclusion, "Check Yes Juliet" by We The Kings is based on a story by William Shakespeare called Romeo and Juliet. They compare very well and the song illistrates the story effectively and correctly.

April Freewrite Initial & Final.
If you're walking down the hall at school and someone yells, "PULL UP YOUR PANTS!" then you probably need to pull up your pants! Also, in the words of Jeff Foxworthy, "If you see a sign that says 'Say no to crack' and it reminds you too pull up you're pants..." you should probably pull up your pants. You are not cooool looking, I promise! It bothers me so much to see people walking around with their pants down around their knees and stuff like that. You don't need to buy your clothes four times to big.
It is disgusting that I have to see guys boxers as I am walking down the hall. If I can see your boxers, buy pants that are your size or get a belt! Also, if you are wearing a belt, don't just wear it for looks, put it to use! Pants were made to cover you up. Plus, if you wear your pants around your knees, what is the point of pants. You are wasting your money. Also, If you use that lame excuse, "Well, I'm too warm." buy some shorts! I am not trying to make fun of anyone. I'm really just giving you a simple word of advice. If you have to carry your books in one hand and hold your pants up with the other, you have a problem. I don't care if you wear your pants like that out of school, but when I have to see that all day there is some issues.
So please, if you do this, help everyone out. I'm sorry but no one wants to see that. If this doesn't convince you I would advise you to look up where it originated that people wore their pants like that. Thank you for doing us all a favor.(:

March Free Write.
"Look at that body, I WORKOUT!" Yeaaah that's right! I've been workin out, I'm toned and I know it! I feel really good this month because I have been doing daily workouts to tone muscle and burn fat. I've been using workout tapes. I think they really work!
My friends laugh at me, but when I'm done with the six week workout cycle, and I look really good, they'll see! My friends tell me that I have "baby muscles" which is good because I used to have no muscles at all! Soon I will have "big girl" muscles! The cycle is called Slim in 6. It is a set of videos which train you and help you learn ways to keep yourself fit. I have become very toned and have burned a little fat so far. I am on week four right now. Weeks one, two, and three were not that hard, but week four has been very challenging! Weeks four, five, and six are called burn it up, and I sure know why! Even though it is hard to push myself to work out I know that it will be worth it in the end. There is also a short ab workout tape which will help burn fat and tone muscle in the mid section. It is definitly strengthening!
In conclusion working out can be a fun, effective experience. Hopefully I get great results from this six week workout. I would definitly recommend it to anyone who thinks they want to workout.

Deconstruction Blog.
A deconstructionist would celebrate the song “Where You Are” by Rascal Flatts because the speaker refers to himself and his girl as inanimate objects, which demonstrates deeper meanings.
One reason why a deconstructionist would celebrate this song is because when the speaker says, “You’re a waterfall, washing over me / I’m a thirsty man let me drink you in” he is saying that he wants to be with the girl and he wants her to let him love her. A deconstructionist would be in favor for this because he isn’t literally a waterfall, he has deeper meaning.
Another example that illustrates why a deconstructionist would approve of this song is because the speaker uses symbolism. He says, “I’m the frozen ground, you’re the warm sunlight.” He is using a “frozen ground” and “warm sunlight” to symbolize how she makes him feel warm inside.
In conclusion a deconstructionist would celebrate the song, “Where You Are” by Rascal Flatts because he shows deeper meaning and uses symbolism.

Ali should enjoy her birthday and hopefully my friend and I get to go see the movies we want to see. Have a great February!
February Free Write.
February.. The month of love and romance; for those who have a love or romance. This is month of Valentine・s Day. I for one am excited for Valentine's Day weekend. I might go to the movies with my friend. Also, it・s my dog・s birthday.
I might go see The Vow with my friend Alexis. It is about love so it kind of fits this month's theme of love and romance. Too bad we don't have dates to take. d; Hopefully we also go out to eat. That would be really fun. I also might go to the movies to see Safe House, which is about a CIA agent and a bad mission. Its rated R and it is violent. It sounds like a lot of fun doesn't it?
This month is also the month of my dogs birthday. Her name is Ali May and she will be turning three on February 13. She was born on Friday the 13 three years ago. I think that's kind of special. My little sister is making her a special cake out of dog food and treats. Last year we almost forgot her birthday, but we aren't making that mistake twice.
I hope every one enjoys the beautiful month of February and is occupied by love and romance.

CHRISTMAS! I love Christmas! Everyone is merry and excited. You get to decorate your home and your tree. You get to eat Christmas cookies. Sometimes you go caroling. You party with your family and friends! You give and receive presents! It’s just a wonderful time of year!
Christmas is really fun. My mom and I bake Christmas cookies together every year. This year we made sugar cookies and chocolate chip cookies. We usually make more, but we didn't have that much time. We also made zucchini bread and chocolate - peanut butter fudge. It is fun to bake but it is especially fun to eat!
Giving and getting presents is always fun. This year, I made my aunt a painting that she wanted. When she opened it she was overjoyed. It made me happy that she liked it. I also got my little sister six things including the casper movie she had been wanting! I was proud when she watched it the next day and loved it. I got my mom and stepdad a card with money in it. They always like money, (who doesn't)! I got a pair of Nike Air Force Ones for Christmas! I also got a pink laptop and a few movies I wanted! I think everyone in my family had a good Christmas!
Christmas is a fun- filled holiday that many people enjoy! It is a wonderful felling to give a present and it is also nice to get one. I hope you had e very merry Christmas and also a Happy New Year!
