Last minute writing prompts

Eeek, sorry for the last minute post. School has been taking a lot out of me. I tripped over my chihuahua three times -_- Got hit with a ball in gym four times, mainly by a yellow basketball. Then after school, I read before doing my homework. Which took a bit out of me, then I started to go onto nano, a bit and read some more before going on here.
Well that was boring, *Yawns* I think I might go in early. Oh and for you curious bookworms I'm reading
Water Keep by J. Scott Savage (my main one where I bring to school)
Dust City by Robert Paul Weston  
et (means and in french)
Middle School, The Worst Years of My Life (School's book of the month. Candy here I come ;) )

And it's so far so good. The last one it's pretty funny with cool drawings, like the Wimpy Kid books. The other two have good fantasy features.
*Facepalm* I'm rambling, I'm suppose to be writing writing prompts not books.  Well here it is. (P.S some of them are from my stories from aschoolstoryaday.blogspot.com)

  1. You are a paranormal that's going to be starting the revolution. What is the revolution about and why?
  2. Write about something that happens in your most boring class. Make it as crazy if you want.
  3. Write a letter to your teacher explaining why you're not allowed to do homework. 
  4. Write about something insane that has happened in your life
  5. Write about something that has the famous quote, Live, Love, Laugh 
  6. Write about sleeping. 
My mind is a bit tired, and a bit centered around school, as you can see. And also if you want you can e-mail them to me at ~New email account~ thehungergamesmockingjay@gmail.com. And I will post them on this blog. 

The other one (this) shall be used only for people who wants to guest post. Since I don't want to have spammers get to it. 
Well bonne nuit, or au revoir if it isn't night in your country right now.

Sorry

For not posting much, I was really busy writing on my novel yesterday (So close to the ending, I'm so excited) Plus school, and those two seem to be sucking my creative juices. And when the weekend does come, I'm usually hanging out with my older sister.
Well to make it up to you, I'm going to post another poem, which I know you guys must be getting a bit bored by now. I know you guys need more writing prompts, and tips. And I will do those tomorrow or Wednesday. If not, then don't think I'm dead or it's the end of the world, because it isn't, I may have forgotten.
Well here it is.


Forced to smile
Not allowed to frown
Forced to keep up the fake happiness
Not allowed to show his true feelings
Scolded for frowning
Tears start to fall
He was scolded again
This time
Silence start to
Wrap around him. 

 P.S. Have you guys noticed that my poems are usually sad?

Dots! .........

Okay the title was totally random, but no it didn't have to do with anything with dots. I'm a bit/ possibly a lot hyper. All day my siblings and I just went to five random places, and we mostly had sugary foods. Cotton candy, fried mini doughnuts, fondue, and of course ice cream. And no we didn't have dibs. Okay, I think I remembered for what I wanted to say. Sorry for the lack of posts this past week (and really dancing on the conveyor belt thing at the supermarket? [Sorry again, there was something random on the T.V]) I had school, and homework, mostly math. Which I don't like :/
And on Friday I mostly took a three hour nap to make up for my lack of sleep, and writing on my novel, which I hadn't had the chance to do in a while. Something random, was when we were checking out the jewelry at the art festival, I saw a couple of turquoise necklaces, and I swear my MC Beth from Immortality Doesn't Exist, started to freak out. It almost felt like she was going to jump out of my head and just take it. What is it with her and the color turquoise, I shall never know ;)
Well enough of my day, what about yours? Go ahead and comment on it.
And here's a picture on the 12 1/2 writing rules, which I'm sure you may have seen before.

Random words.

Hello, I thought I would like to share with you guys some words I got from dictionary.com's word of the day from the last three days. I'll share them in a paragraph, maybe in different point of views that somehow connect with the story. If you're interested to get a word of a day in your inbox each day go here. Well, here I go...

He learned enough hobson-jobson to get along with his co-workers, but it was hard because he was fluent in French, and not English. And he continued this up each day, and earning the trust from his boss. In fact he was the boss's most trusted, that they began to collogue together. And their talks usually include of how to save the world, and make everyone healthier. So much, that they started to speak and write in code so the others wouldn't find out. Now, the others think that all they do is footle.

I hope I used those correctly...
Now try to guess what the bold words mean, without using dictionary.com please. And if do try and get them correct, I'll let you guest blog on my blog, or I can guest blog on yours. The entries are unlimited, as well as time. And you enter, by commenting, or emailing me at staceriffic@gmail.com.
So begin....
Now.
P.S. If you would like some hints such as if they are an adjective, verb, etc. I would gladly give them to you.

I survived!

I survived the second day of school. And the second batch of classes. If you don't understand what I'm talking about, other then the surviving school part I'll tell. My school schedule is split into two days, A day and B day. On both days you you have a complete set of different classes. Which is nice, because you don't have to do your homework till the next day...
Kidding, I won't procrastinate on my homework... much. But my math teacher from last year thinks the regular seven classes a day is better. Which in a way I guess it is.
Well here's my schedule since I don't have much to write...
A day classes
1a. Algebra 2
2a. Geometry (It's technically called Secondary math honors, but it was to long to say so I'm just calling it geometry)
3a. English honors
Lunch
3a. English honors
4a. French trois (three)

B day classes
1b. PE
2b. Communications tech./Yearbook (Yay ^-^)
3b. Earth Systems honors
Lunch
4b. Geography honors.

As you can see I'm pretty advanced, but not that advanced since I don't take any classes at the high school. And the lunch is pretty different, since they have three lunches all split up during third period. And the reason for this is because there's a ton of students going here (this year it is about 1400ish?). And that is a lot more than the local jr. high across town. And the education is pretty cool, in a way.
It was odd, yesterday I was a bit hot since they didn't fix the AC system. And now today I was freezing in most of my classes. Well at least they were fast in fixing it.
It seems the only classes I won't really like well is geography (maybe), PE (another maybe) and geometry, since the work is easy, and yet it is only reviews. The rest seems pretty fun, like in science (the different periods are competing against each other in this world kind of thing, there's going to be WAR, and others. [I seem to be pretty excited about the war, even though we don't really have a reason for attacking the other classes yet....])
And plus communications tech is going to be a bit easy since I learned most of the stuff on my own this summer. (What do you expect when you don't have money or transportation to go to places? Except for a computer.) 180 students signed up for it, and only 30ish got it, because it fitted with our schedules. So yay!
Well now I'm rambling, well au revoir. I wonder if I'll win that french award again...
And a cute little dino that wants a hug. I just wanted to show you guys that.  Rawr.

Well au revoir. And have fun at school, whenever it starts/ started for you.

School

It starts in two days for me. I'm going to be a ninth grader, setting an example to the eighth and seventh graders. Showing them who's boss and all that stuff. The last year to go to that school, and plus the first year of being a freshman. So much work, but it might be worth it in the end. And here's a random poem that I wrote a while ago.

School

School, like a monster in town
Forcing kids and teens to work
Taking a lot out of us
Tiring us
Possibly killing us
School, like a monster in town
Taking a lot out of us
Til we barely have anything left
School
Only dies once we 
Graduate
Til then
School is like a monster in town.

Sadness

I'm sad for reasons unknown. Which basically means I don't like to tell my problems to people, including my friends, family, and therapists (which I can't even afford in the first place). And yet I vent to myself, and let it out through my writing. And a poem has come out of it, sometimes a story. But today a poem.


I hide through my pain
All you see is a smile
I cry through the pain
All you hear are lies
I’m in pain
And yet you don’t see
I pretend to be happy
For everyone’s sake
I lie
So you won’t worry
And yet I have hoped
That you may see through my
Façade
And yet I have hoped
Someone may see the other
Half of me
My happiness is a lie
My sadness is the truth
And all you hear is
I’m fine.

Quote #12


Deep in the meadow, hidden far away 
A cloak of leaves, a moonbeam ray 
Forget your woes and let your troubles lay 
And when it's morning again, they'll wash away 
Here it's safe, here it's warm 
Here the daisies guard you from every harm 
Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings them true 
Here is the place where I love you.
— Suzanne Collins

(Not really a quote, more like a song, but oh well.) 

And then he gives me a smile that just seems so genuinely sweet with just the right touch of shyness that unexpected warmth rushes through me."

Memories

It's been a while since I posted a story of mine. And one that I just wrote recently. Well here's a non-fiction piece I wrote. (That's a first wow). And not everything is true. And it has one swear word in the end. Well enough putting it off already, here it is.


I sit on the base of the stairs, awaiting mother’s approval to go into the basement. It was spring cleaning day, the big white bins in the neighborhood was just waiting to be filled with junk. And since the rest of the house was tiptop clean, except for the basement. She decided today would be the day to clean it. 
            Only problem was that no one went down in the basement. Except to do the laundry or to iron something of some sorts, occasionally one of us would dump some clothing that we haven’t worn in a while onto the pitiful old brown couch. I would rarely see dad use his study that’s down there. Dust started to collect onto the cluttered books, and CDs. They were just simply unread, unused and unloved. But that’s just not all of what the basement is about, it’s about the memories that has gathered there. It was mainly about the old childhood schoolwork that has somehow gathered there. It was mainly my older sister’s schoolwork though, occasionally my twin’s and mine, and rarely my brother. It was like a pyramid. My older sister is dominating the base, my twin and I hugging the middle, and the teeny tiny top my brother. It was almost if at any moment, he would just fall off.
            Once in a while, I liked to come down here to see who the schoolgirl was for my older sister. Before she turned into a college girl living her life for humanitarian needs, barely giving her family enough fond memories to cherish forever. Yet enough that I can still remember her friendly enough. Her schoolwork mainly consisted of science, terms and formulas, and opinions confusing me, and yet somehow, someway I understand them. She was a genius like me that much was written by her hard work on her projects. There was something that had to deal with fashion for her ninth grade year, her handwriting almost like mine. Her grammar needed to be improved ASAP, unlike mine. Gosh, it was as if I’m rising up to be a miniature version of her, minus the fact that we’re very different. She was born to be a speaker, and I was born to be a writer, both having words wrap warmly around us.
            I blink getting out of my reverie. I just couldn’t see how mother wanted to clean the place up. That holds a piece of her children’s schoolwork selves. “Okay, you can come down now!” she yelled, finally done. I sigh and stand up, and descend the not-really-that-short flight of stairs. The others too attached with their technology to, even come down with me. I dodge some of the laundry that has missed their chance to go in the current washing, and enter the threshold. I don’t gasp, nor do my eyes go wide. My entire being seemed entirely blank, the basement was clean. And it looked oddly nice, the furniture not crooked but polished and having nothing on them the clothes on the couch was just gone, the carpet appearing not to have a hidden stain anywhere. The walls were white and spotless, but all that left was…
            I can hear mother holding her breath, as I make my way to dad’s study. I put my hand on the knob, expecting the whole room not to be dusty. I turned the knob, but it wouldn’t open, remembering that dad had locked it for some reason. Why? Because there’s a dead ninja in there? I think to myself, as I turn around and walk down the hall, to see about the schoolwork. I open the closet door, where it’s all kept. I slowly open the door, silently enjoying the suspense I’m giving mother. It kind of felt like there was a walking dead person, from the way that she’s not breathing. I could smell it before I saw it, my heart beating furiously, and yet I still have the blank composure wrapped securely around me. The smell was one of furniture cleaner, and a tang of ammonia. The closet door was open wide, and I said the three words that just came to my mind and pushing its way to my tongue demanding to be let out.
            “What the hell,” I say in a monotone. The schoolwork was gone; everything about our school selves was simply just gone. And I have a feeling that she just threw it all way, not giving a dime about the memories that have came with it. I can hear mother let out her breath, as I softly close the door. Wondering why it couldn’t be dad’s study to clean, and not the memories. All the while, the three words still continue to whisper around me. “What the hell?”

Hyperness

I am hyper, and don't think that whenever I'm hyper and go on the internet I use a lot of capital letters or exclamation points. I just announce it right now. This time from a sugar high, cookies, chips, sodas, and all that. And I'm excited for school, that starts next week. I'm on the yearbook committee, and I might get five, or ten bucks from my brother. If he wants to be on the first page, and if I can be able to. But there are always downsides.

  • Two math classes
  • More homework (Dang, ninth graders always gets the most homework. I almost wish I was in seventh again)
  • My brother starting his year as a seventh grader
I can go on, but that is all I can think of right now. But yay, just one year with him, and another when I'm just a senior in high school. Some of the good sides though

  • Better seats in the auditorium (Ninth graders get the front, eighth graders the middle, and sevies the back)
  • A bit more activities.
  • No required classes, except for the regular, math, science, english, and history
  •  Lockers are closer to the lunchroom. 
And more that I can't think of right now. 
Well au revoir, and here's a dream quote, that I decided to show you guys.

A tip

Just filled out a character worksheet to know the appearance and personality about your character, but you're still not even close to knowing your character as your friend? Well here's a  tip have random interviews with them. It can be like a talk show, or just business, or a sane regular conversation. It's fun, and it helps a lot, but try not to do it in public often, otherwise people would think you're crazy. Which is odd, because I bet they also talk to themselves, privately.





And I random video that I made.

Okay, I made a video/vlog? to show you guys. And I apologize in advance, it's been a while since I made a movie, and I don't have all the best editing skills, such as the producers on the t.v show. But, hey I tried.

HOW TO ORGANIZE YOUR DRESSER
Hi everyone! It's Shelby from www.thefashionistagirls.blogspot.com and today I am going to show you with my awful picture taking skills how I have my dresser organized!

My second drawer has things such as: non-fancy Tees and sweatpants, things like that

My third drawer has pajamas! aren't the froggy ones sooo cute? :P

The contest stories

Sorry, I know that I promised to post this yesterday, but procrastination has been plaguing me lately. And books, and my novel...
Well back to the point, here are the stories, from the Dear Family, contest.

Eshy's story

Dear Family,                                                                                                              September the 18th, year of 1950
     If you are reading this that means I have died in battle and my commanding officer has sent this to you upon my request.
They say they'll come and collect our bodies and send them home for a proper burial after the war is over. If what they say is
somehow changed, which no doubt it will be, I along with all the other fallen soldiers are to be buried here, in South Korea.
Wherever my body lay, I only hope that in afterlife I'll see you all again. Since I can not help ease your pain of my loss, I
shall leave you with what I have, the latest news of the war. The rumors have it that the rest of the United Nations are soon
coming to join our fight to stop the spread of Communism takeover in the South and ultimately, the rest of Asia, perhaps
even the world. I am among the first to fall in what is seeming to be another long war, perhaps not quite as long or as terrible
as that of the World Wars. But I know to any one of us soldiers, longing for home, it seems just as terrible and just as long. I
have always tried to keep part of home in my heart as I know so many other soldiers do as well and now at rest I leave you
with my love.                                                                     -Soldier William Blaine, U.S. Army,

Olive's story. 

Bonjour!
Hello Mum and dad! I’m having a wonderful time in Pairs! I can’t believe I am here! 4 years of waiting and here I am! Everything is so bright and busy! It is so beautiful at night, all the lights! Amazing! It all blows my mind every time I look out the window, and/or pick up my camera to get a photo of a certain flower. The Eiffel Tower is so beautiful at night, breath taking. I have so many photos of it! (5 new photos in this letter by the way)
While in Paris, besides getting photos for those two magazines in the states, I am learning so much! For example, Paris’s motto is in Latin:Fluctuat nec mergitur which mean: It is tossed by the waves, but does not sink, in English. I am also learning some French, but I keep saying everything wrong. Luckily, I meet someone who is willing to teach me while we tour together. This is exciting, and very helpful, because now I won’t have to worry about saying anything to other people. You know how shy I am.
Here is some background on the photos.
The one of the very cute guy is of Pierre-Louis my tour partner.
There is two of the Eiffel Tower, one at night and one in day.
The view at the top of the Eiffel Tower, which was amazing by the way.
And of course one of me, it’s not the best, but hey, it’s better than nothing.
Well I have to catch this bus, I love you both!
Anna

THE BIG 100!!!

The miracle is not that we do this work, but that we are happy to do it. ~ Mother Teresa
Yay, it's the big 100! I can't really believe that I made it this far in just eight months. And I couldn't have done it without you followers, viewers, and readers, and the random stumblers. And I got to say thank you. Now let's get this show on the road ~ Mushu from Mulan.


how to make gif
A question. 
How do you feel about the U.S. Debt system?
I say we should do better, and stop wasting the money. And plus we should change the currency so we can stop cutting down poor trees. We're probably going to die sooner if there's less trees around. In fact I can feel the oxygen levels going down. I can't breathe *Turns purple, then blacks out, dead.* *Magically revives turning back into a blogger, writer, reader, girl, daughter, sister, cousinniece, practically much a human.*
Poem
Oh dear old 100
So important
On the verge of thrice
Big
And yet so small
A century
A cent-
A dollar
A bill
Old 
Young
Forever to some
Only a day to others
Oh dear 100
How did you become so important?


My writing. 
Here are some writings that I wrote sometime in my life, that I decided to share with you. Because I hadn't been posting much of my writing lately. Well here they are, also be cautious one of the stories has some inappropriate words (the second one I think). And also please excuse me, if they're suckish, they're unedited. 
TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE BY…

Together we can make the world better by picking up trash, anywhere where there is trash. Because if there is trash everywhere, then it’s going to end up in our water supply making us sick and it will also kill valuable animals that are important to our diet.
Together we can make the world better by simply being nice to other people. Because if you’re nice, then other people will probably be nice to you, and then there would be less violence in the world.
Together we can make the world a better place by recycling, reusing and/or reducing. Because if we don’t recycle, then there will be less trees, meaning more carbon dioxide in the air. This will also mean less oxygen in the air.
Together we can make the world a better place by making friends with other countries instead of being enemies. Because if we’re friends instead of foes then there will be a highly chance that there’s not going to be anymore wars, meaning it will be safer for future generations to come.
Together we can make the world a better place by not being bigoted people to other race, religion, or cultures. Because if the whole human race accepted that everyone, man women, adult, child, Asian, or Hispanic is equal, then there would be more peace, balance, and less terrorist attacks in the world. 
Together we can make the world a better place by fighting less, speaking more. Because words has more power then action, if we all had no words, or languages, how will we all understand each other? As they say the pen is mightier than the sword.
Together we can make the world a better place by going green. Because there is only one earth, and already it’s dying because of our ways right now. From global warming to the melting of polar icecaps slowly causing the oceans to rise, the future in the year 3,000 is not going to be a pretty one.
So in order to have a wonderful earth in the future, we have to start changing our actions now. Not tomorrow, next week, or never, NOW.
(It was a reflections project, and the theme was Together we can..) 
I sit crying as I’m about to do the inevitable. I look down into the deep, dark rushing river below, and smell, the cold winter air, mixed with pines, berries, and other fresh, clean scents. But I can’t see the river clearly, nor smell the pines of the fresh wintery forest. For my eyes are flooded with tears, causing my nose to stuff up, making me not breathe clearly, and almost suffocating me. “It’s for the best,” my mind told me. “No one really cares about you anyways. It’s obvious on their conceited, overdone faces, from you getting pushed into the garbage can nearly every day. To the mean messages online, and rumors behind your back. Plus your own family and friends don’t care about you anyway as well,” it thought in a malevolent tone. “They won’t listen to you when you try to talk to them about it. Always ignoring you just to dote on their favorite; believing your fake happiness. And always making you alone, never calling you, not standing up for you. Just stuck in their poorly made love life,” it sneers. That just did, it. The terrible longing pain in my heart has to be stopped, the pain that continually grows from their evil words, their actions. The river below suddenly looked tantalizing. I could feel it begging me to jump in, to end all the miserable pain.
            “Move out of the way loser,” Mi-Mi the popular girl said to me one Friday afternoon.

“Hey, do I hear someone. Or is it a ghost?” said one of the dumb jocks. “Bitch, Whore, Slut, Dumb butt,” all these names and memories start swirling around me, taunting me. Making me sick of life, and angry, very angry. Knowing I can’t really take the anger out on my tormentors. I jump. I can feel the wind rushing up at me, freezing me to the tips of my bones. The river churning fast, looking as if it has many hands ready to catch me. My heart starts beating wildly, wishing it all back. My mind is screaming, wishing I’ve never done this. Should have never jumped off the bridge, what will my family do without me? What will the world do without me? Words, sounds, noises, tried to come out of my mouth, but unable to. My mouth suddenly dry, I wonder how good the water will be in the river, if I wasn’t doing this.
            My death seemed so closer, than I ever thought it would be. Instead of the water currents looking like hands, it started looking like cave stalagmites. Pokey, and deadly. I close my eyes, expecting to feel the impact.

“Hello…” said a distant voice, “hello?” I tried to identify the voice it seemed oddly familiar. The unknown voice sighed, a half annoyed and half why-me sigh. Then I started to feel extremely cold water on my face. I tried to gain conciseness, because even more water was being splattered on me. It made me want to punch the person, oh so badly. After a few more bucketfuls, I managed to open my eyes. Then I started hugging the person, at least knowing that one person cares for me in the world. 
~~~~~
For the last hundred years, I’ve dreamt of nothing but of someone holding me in his arms. Cradling me like a little child. Shielding me away from all the dangers of the world; but most of all loving me for who I really am. When I woke up, I was surprised to see a stranger across from me. What surprised me the most though, was that he was the same guy from my dreams. He’s tall, with boyishly strong muscles. Auburn hair that looks just right on him, with crystal blue eyes that are covered with long eyelashes, and pink full round lips, set evenly on tan skin. Like he’s just lived on the ocean all his life.

Lately, I’ve been having weird dreams about a princess. Oh but not just any princess though, the one that is in Sleeping Beauty. And I think that her name is Aurora. Well, I just happened to stumble across a castle that my tour group was passing by. And well it looked interesting, plus my gut kept on telling me to go inside it. So that’s what I did, I secretly slipped out, hoping no one would notice and went inside. I went through hallway after hallway in a daze not noticing where the heck I was going. When I found a secret door that was under the staircase that looked like stone. My gut told me this was the one. “One what?” the back of my mind thought, but I didn’t notice.
When I went inside, it looked like a room made for royalty. “What the heck,” the back of my mind thought. But I didn’t notice, because in the middle of it all was a person on a bed sleeping peacefully. I wanted to get out, and go back to the tour group. But my foot seems glued here. Something about her looks awfully familiar. Like that girl in my dreams. With her honeysuckle hair, laid carefully on her side. Nearly covering her thick long eyelashes, her soft round lips, snoring quietly. She looked so pretty in the dim light, that I just knew I’ve got to kiss her.
Without thinking about it, my feet instinctively started moving toward her. I tried, practically willed my feet to stop moving but it won’t listen. It just continued walking towards her. Finally, when it stopped, I was right next to her. She was still snoring lightly, not noticing that I was right next to her. I tried to back away, but my feet won’t budge. Instead, I brushed her hair away from her face. “Who the heck is controlling me?” I said aloud. I tried, really tried to not move, nor even breathe, but that didn’t last out long.
 I could hear my heart beating loudly in my ears, and I started blushing for no apparent reason. “I can’t believe I’m going to do this,” the back of my mind thought. I start inching towards her, finally believing that I really did get abducted by aliens just like my sisters always kept on saying. The girl kept on sleeping, holding her breath for some reason. I was close enough that I could feel her breath on my face, and smell her honey, and lilac perfume. When my lips touched hers, I knew I was crazy. Her lips felt like it belonged with mine, but I pulled away, startled.  I was glad that it was quick and short, and ended quickly, because when I finished she woke up.
Really, startled now, I backed up, looking at her quizzically, like she just popped out of nowhere, even though she was there the whole time. She seemed surprised to, but didn’t back up, she studied me with her baby blue eyes. Now that really surprised me, her eyes, so pale blue that it makes her, I don’t know prettier I guess.
“What the heck?” I thought, because a feeling was starting to arouse in me.
We locked eyes for a moment, before he pulled away, probably still stunned to see me. Like he should because I am a princess, you know. But there was something off with me, something that was feeling like…
Love?

Not the same

Everything changed in a flash. One moment I was just that innocent carefree girl, not giving a dime in the world. Then the next I was worrying about every little detail. Wondering how I’m supposed to survive. Tears streak my already tearstained face, as I watch Amos, my neighbor bury my parents up. I watch, as I recall the memories of the armed robbery at the bank. How I was just at the candy shop around the corner, buying my first treat. How the alarm bell rang its shrill sound. How there was a lot of shooting, then silence.  Silence that could have killed anyone in an instant, if listened to carefully. Then how, I started running, forgetting the treats, just to find my parents. But I was too late. Police already put up the tape, telling everybody to stand back. Though I didn’t listen, I just had to see my parents; to see if they’re alive or not. 
A police officer caught me, before I even touched the glass doors.  She asked why I was here, behind the yellow line. I told her I had to see my parents, to see if they’re alive or not. She said her friends are checking that right now, but she believes that my parents are still alive. Then she did, what my mother always does when I’m sad, pat me on my back gently. Like only a mother could. I smiled a bit, hoping in my heart, that she’s right.
 A couple of minutes later, a big police guy, came out with a grave look on his face. It was then and now, that there’s something deadly serious, one that just resulted badly. The police officer that was patting my back and the big guy stared at each other for a long time, before she sighed. “No, no it can’t be,” I thought willing it not to be true. I was wishing my parents would just come out of the bank right now, and hold on tight like they would always do when I’ve had a nightmare. But I knew that won’t happen I knew no one that was in the bank the time of the shooting would be coming out anytime soon. And that included my parents. The  truth of it all shocked me, then I started crying thinking who has did this is very, very evil.
Later that day, I was at the police station, where they tried contacting people who was nice enough to take me in for the night. While I just sat quietly at a little chair in the corner away from all the chaos, thinking of all the good and bad times I’ve had with my parents. A couple of hours later, when they finally contacted a nice lady to take me in for the night, I was horrified. Thinking of why they’re just giving me to complete and total strangers, but to my relief it was just my next door neighbor. 
The next morning after a not so good night sleep, from sleeping on a lumpy bed, and from coldness of not having my parents across the hall sleeping their troubles away. I started crying, because I couldn’t help it. I missed my parents to much.  Hours later, my other next door neighbor helped me bury my parents in the local cementery. Seeing their faces the last time before the dirt touched their beautiful faces. It made me cry again; who knew the pain of losing someone close could feel so raw that it hurts in your heart so much that it almost makes you want to end your life just to stop the pain.
For today, and the next day I just stayed on my porch, doing nothing but cry. Not caring if people saw or kidnapped me, or anything.  I just sat there and cried. When finally I’ve had enough, I stood up on my wobbly legs, wondering if there’s something to eat. Instantly nostalgia hits me in the pit of my stomach, as memories of my mom’s delicious cooking comes back to me. But I knew I would never get that again, which made me sad all over again. After a while of silence, and memories, a person started walking up to me. At first, I thought it was my mother coming back alive, and was walking up the lawn from her grocery trip. But as I got to see her better, I realized she was not my mom. It was just some random lady, that kind of looks like her. Tears start coming back, only not out of sadness, but out of anger. Anger at what happened the last few days, anger at the person who shot my parents. And anger at my parents for just leaving so suddenly, when I needed them the most right now. In fact, I was so busy being angry, that I hadn’t noticed that the lady was right next to me. (Unfinished as you can see. I couldn't write the next part, because writer's block got to it, and I couldn't really do anything to pry it off)

All the trouble’s that’s been pressing me down, well there’s only one solution. Run. What everyone has been telling me to do. Run. Run away from all the stuff, all the dangers, and from all my loves. Even if they are the one causing all the trouble, the one that sworn to marry me, and love me for the rest of my life. The one who’s broken many hearts, including mine many times. The one who I always go back to, to get comfort, but only to get hurt every time. The one who I thought was mine
“Run,” said Baxter, before he too ran from my life. Just like what everyone’s been doing lately. So I decide to listen to them. Only not run away, but more like run towards to something. Something that tells me answers. Answers about who I am, and also about what I’m supposed to be. Answers, about my past life. Answers about my family. But most of all answers about love.
So this is my last entry before I depart onto the next train ride to nowhere, that’s going to be somewhere. So just, know this is my last one, before I write more. Before I have answers. Just know that I’m still alive, and, well, and strong. Trying to be independent for once and for all. 

Pictures. 
CAKE! A random picture that I drew, and I decided to show you.

Here is the words from let to write.
Guy hiding behind a turtle, and a rock: Help! I'm stuck?
On the rock: Oddly looks like cake doesn't it?
Turtle: Shh! I'm not a rock!
And then there's the worms forming the word NINJA.
A cake, a smiley face, a moon, and yes a white sun

A watermelon with red stripes

The yellow dot is the giraffe, that just ate some leaves. 



                                       
Watch out, there might be mountain lions on the loose. 
What do you wish for?
Me: DUCK!
Duck: Where?
