so tired… so tired… (yes, it’s like 4 p.m. – long day – already – no chance i see halftime of the super bowl – which is just a shame considering some old group – oh, wait – it’s the black eyed peas this year – forgot that it’s more contemporary this year – after a few years in the “post-janet jackson, justin timberlake” mess…
so i finished a few books this week…
“usain bolt” – i can’t recall if i blogged about this one last week – but the uk published a book about the world’s fastest man – i wasn’t expecting much so it was a great read – didn’t make me very fast though
“inkspell” – pretty good – got long at the end – glad that baska was killed – was it me, or did that guy have a problem with his knife??? first, he kept opening it all the time – i mean, once, and people will be scared, but if you flash your knife 1,000 times then it sort of gets old and people won’t be scared – then, there was the whole deal that he kept threatening people with it and they kept going “ooh, a knife, i’m scared, let me cave in and do what you want” – i’m thinking, hey, if you haven’t carved anyone in 1,000 pages, then it’s a pretty pathetic knife – but that’s me – but baska was killed so he’s taken care of – next up in “inkdeath,” i’m hopeful that the stupid author of the stupid world that he’d forgotten about will go… that said though, i’m not in a hurray to start reading that monster of a book…
“the olympian” by brian glanville – really enjoyed this book – 1968 fictional story of a miler who runs competitively for the uk for five years – there were passages that were just dead-on about the experience of running – like one about the fine line between being an athlete and in incredible shape and then having a muscle pull that ends it all – another one about why we love the olympics – the competition – the striving and achieving – the pushing for more and pride that goes into the training – anyway, the book is dated (unlike me:) but it’s a great read – at least, i thought so
operation world – got through india today – lots of girls aborted every year because people want males – sad…
hope your reading is super wonderful – nap time – also known as bed time – for me…

Wow what an awesome foot ball game last night i thought that the stealers were actually going to come back and win it but they didn’t so oh well better luck next year. I almost thought that the half time show was better than the whole football game with slash and the black eyed peas on there. anyways go packers!
Whats up mr. mayfield
this week i am reading the book wild at heart and so far this is a really good book and it is very true. The reason that i think that this book is very true is because that it seems like it is a whole recap of my childhood like at the age of 5-7 when i was playing with toy guns and constantly thinking that i was either destroying a whole army single handedly to save a princess or just to fight a battle. And now most scientist would say that if children were thinking about killing or being agressive it was because of violemnt tv thenm they are wrong it is a male thing is what the book says becauise we tend to either want to kill something or beat the mess out of someone in a competition because we are just competitive like that and that is very true. because i have a five year old little sister and even little silly games like shoots and and latters i can not let her even let her win those little kids games because i am just that competitive. Alright well i was sick today but maybe tommorrow i will be feeling better and get to come to school. so bye see you tommorrow!!! Maybe?

Hey. Im on Hunger Games and left off with them saying there goodbyes. After all the goodbyes they went to the train station where they would be given to the capitol for the games. As soon as the got on the train going to the capitol, Katniss headed to her room where she found brand new clothes, hot showers, and a comfy bed. Way better than what they had in district 12. After she took a shower, Effie told her to be in the dining room in an hour. Katniss gets into some new clothes and carefully places her new gold pin resembling a gold mocking jay symbol. An hour later she meets Peeta and Effie in the dining room, but there i no sign of Haymitch. She sits down and stuffs her face with the best and most food she has ever eaten. After 3 courses of food, Haymitch comes in and vomits every where, spewing all the liquor he has consume and he then fall face first into his pile of vomit.

hey im on the hunger games and i left off with them arriving on the train leading to the capitol. They get on and Katniss’ room has the most luxurious stuff in it. She heads to dinner and eats a magnificent meal. At the end Haymitch comes in and vomits all the liquor hes been drinking. He then passes out in it. Katniss and Peeta look at eachother and they slowly drag his limp body to his bathroom where Peeta,sweetly, tells Katniss he would clean him. She says okay nd leaves. When she gets back to the dining room she sis down and thinks about Peeta. Why was he being so nice to her? Was it so she will earn his respect and trust so he can easily kill her? At this thought she takes the cookies his dad gave her and threw hem out the window. She realized that they were in this arena to kill eachother and they didnt have any oom to be friends. Its game on.DUH-Duh-duh-duh
The story begins at Kate Wetherall’s farm house, where all the children plan to stay for a few days before setting off to Stonetown to visit Mr. Benedict, who is planning to send them on an international treasure hunt to test their skills. When they arrive at Mr. Benedict’s house, they get bad news from Rhonda that Mr. Benedict and Number Two have been kidnapped by Ledroptha Curtain, the villain of the previous book and twin brother of Mr. Benedict. In his ransom letter, Mr. Curtain describes a certain “rare plant” and says he needs to know the identity of a person “extremely close” to Mr. Benedict, because that person has information about this mysterious plant. If this information is not provided to him, Mr. Benedict and Number Two will be in “grave danger”. Constance reveals that Mr. Benedict gave her a letter before he was kidnapped, and told her to open it when the other children arrived. The envelope contains a message of greeting from Mr. Benedict, and a nonsensical riddle. In solving the riddle, they discover that the words are in alphabetical order. This leads them to a dictionary, and then a journal – in which is another nonsensical riddle. The children solve it to mean TAKE THE SHORTCUT. The children sneak off on the M/V SHORTCUT, the “fastest ship in the world” and find more information that takes them to a castle in Portugal. From there, hidden evidence directs them to a library in Thernbaakagen. There they learn that the “mysterious plant” is called duskwort and is extremely rare – possibly extinct. It has the power, when burned in fire, to put entire villages to sleep for hours on end. It also is a possible antidote to Mr. Benedict’s narcolepsy (Mr.Benedict found this out because of his parents and his parent’s great friend). Researching the duskwort, they find that no one knows what it looks like. They travel to a hotel, but are found by two of Mr. Curtain’s henchmen, called the “TEN MEN”. However, they are rescued by Milligan, who accompanies them to find more of the mountain on the evidence. They finally find the location of the duskwort – an abandoned island. On the island they find a delirious Number Two, who tells them where Mr. Benedict is: the top island. They are ambushed by a group of “TEN MEN”. Milligan comes to the rescue, and takes on the Ten Men. The children travel to the top of the mountain, while Milligan is backed off a fifty-foot cliff and falls into mud. They discover Mr. Benedict chained to the wall in a cave. He begs them to destroy the duskwort. Upon the children saying they don’t know what it looks like, he jumps up and reveals himself to be Mr. Curtain, and locks the children to the wall with the real Mr. Benedict. Mr. Curtain leaves after Mr. Benedict tells him where the duskwort is. Mr. Benedict cleverly tricks S.Q. Pedalian into unlocking their handcuffs, and they get away. Mr. Benedict falls asleep from narcolepsy, and the children are forced to carry him down the mountain. They find Milligan (extremely injured) and Mr. Benedict comes back from his deep snooze too. They race to the forest with Ten Men are surrounding them everywhere, in addition to Mr. Curtain’s amphibious vehicle being hot on their trail. Just when all seems lost, the mighty figure of the SHORTCUT races into the bay at top speed. It grounds on the shore, allowing the children to climb on board. “TEN MEN” manage to board the ship, as well, and attach an explosive to the door of the security hold where the children, Milligan, Mr. Benedict, and all the other people in the ship are hiding. Kate jumps up and runs to the door, detaching the explosive and running up onto the deck. As it is about to explode, she tosses the explosive over the railing, away from the boat, and also away from the escaping villains (Mr. Curtain blows her a kiss for this. Kate makes sure he sees her wipe it off). It ends with the boat docking safely and the children are reunited with their families. 😉 🙂

I am rereading The Roar for B.O.B.
Tuesday-
In The Roar Mika got in trouble for throwing the Fit Max on his headmaster, Mr. Gray’s, shirt. Flashback…. Mika is going too school one morning and when he walks into his classroom and notices something different. Instead of the drab blank walls and boring posters of the Animal Plague, his tutor, Ms. Fowler, has strung streamers around the room and has blown up balloons. She also put cupcakes on the desks and is being especially nice to the students. Mika immediantly knows that something is wrong. He sits down and when everybody arrives someone from the back of the room walks up to the front and announces that she is their Fit For Life nurse. That is my journal for Tuesday.
🙂 🙁 😛 😉 😮 8) 😀
I like to harass people, anyway, lots of that going on at school with the dance and everything. It always seems in Mrs. Partridge’s class that who’s-going-with-who is a lot more important than geometry.
All of these people are attempting to do SOAPSTONE, but I don’t want to embarrass myself, and miserably fail, so regular blogging it is.
Mon.- I left off where they were in the little chariots, flaming and everything. But now, I’m where they hace gone gathering and Foxface dies.
So Katniss gets really freaked out because he thinks Peeta’s dead, but it’s really Foxface because she eats the night lock (or dreadlocks, if you are marjorie 🙂 So yeah, Peeta get’s yelled at and he starts to lose his temper, but he doesn’t because he is AWESOME!!!!!
Tues.- Just gonna blog randomly now. Haha, JK. I’ll backtrack. Katniss finds Peeta in the arena after giving away her hiding space in a tree because she likes to scream Peeta’s name erratically. So, yeah. She finds him in the mud and he has a big cut on his thigh and gross! Euh! She actually said EUH! Yep, quoting HG now. Pus, and swollen, and flesh. EUH!
Wed.- So they go into their cozy cave and they….. *drumroll* kiss. EEEEPP! Yep, I love that cave. I can’t for this movie. Very romanticall. That’s not a word, BTW. any who, Katniss is trying to get him better, so she puts burn cream on his open wound. Yeah, that wasn’t smart and now he has blood poisoning. So Cladious Tmplesmith (Such a cool name. That’s what I’m gonna name my kid. And Nathan will name his Romeo, Juliet, and Mutany. Lot’s of weird children in his future.)
Thurs.- See how awesome I am, I’m almost done with this week of blogging, and it has only been 9 minutes. Okay, so Peeta tells her not to go, but Haymitch sends her this KO stuff that KO’s Peeta. *tear tear* So she goes and gets her backpack, but first Clove tries to cut her lips off, but instead of those plans, Thresh bashes Clove’s head in with a rock. Cato can’t even save her. Thresh lets Katniss go for helping Rue. Yep, but Thresh gets killed anyway.
Okay, that was fun. Now, I have to go. took me 12 minutes people. 12!!!! Okay, that’s the district Peeta and Katniss are from.
Some things I see in everyday life that remind me of the HG:
1. Uprising in Egypt. (Uprising)
2. The Number 12
3. When people say capitol
4. The word Snow (Pres Snow)
So I’m weird like that.
Okay, now I really have to go. So…. bye

heymr. mayfeild i will blog on authors purpose for 5 mins. i am reading and according to my dad finishing this book by this week anyway it the last dog on earth. were i left off is when the dog took a stroll while they were at the kickoff and they got back home looking for him. they got a email from a doctor and the subject was a dog diesies what i would be deleting that message right now but the author would include this to make some point. thats it for tonight see ya.
I have been so Happy lately…. This is a very good and exciting thing! Woo! So….. I finished reading Prince Caspian and Now I am on the Voyage of the Dawn Treader. So Since I didnt blog yesterday I think I will BLOG for ten minutes.
Ok so in this book Peter and Susan do not show up at all. This is kinda dissapointing but I got over it. Lucy and Edmund are having to stay with their annoying Cousin Eustus. (I think that is how you spell it but I dont have the book with me right now) Eustus likes to make Lucy and Edmund’s lives as miserable as possible. Eustus has heard Lucy and Edmund talking about Narnia and likes to make fun of their imaginary World. Then one day Lucy and Edmund were sitting down looking at the only painting in the house that they liked which was a painting of a huge boat that Lucy thought looked like a Narnian ship. Eustus comes in and asks them why they like that painting so much and They respond that they like it because it looks like the painting is moving.. Well the painting was actually moving and soon the picture grows larger and water starts flooding the room. then Lucy, Edmund, And Eustus are sucked in to the painting. When they look around after that they realize they are in the middle of an actual ocean and it is not just the painting.. They are in Narnia. so then the ship from the painting comes up to them and they find that the captain of the ship is Caspian. Tah Dah.! Thats all. -Julie

Hey, On hunger games and left off with Haymitch vomiting all over himself in the train. Peeta cleans him up and Katniss thinks hes trying to get in her head so she makes a rule to not be befriended by him. They finally get to the capitol where they are seperatley handed to there own stylists who are going to get them ready for the opening ceremonies where they will walk in front of the whole world to see if they can get sponsors based on there looks. Just so u know, Capitol people look,act, and are bizarre. Very,Very bizarre. So she has her prep team fix heer up by ripping off all non needed hair and fixing her hair, nails, and everthing else. They do this to Katniss before they hand her off to her personal stylist. WWhen they finish off they hand him to Cinna who s probally the most normal person she has seen from the capitol ever.
Kaitlin, We all know that you like to Harass People! It is kinda what you do… But Kaitlin I think you are awesome even if you Harass people too much.
I am not happy anymore that was ruined today.. My day just wasnt as awesome as it was yesterday and I am confused about a lot of things.. UGHH! I dont like not being happy. So now I must Blog. For Five minutes. WOO! By the way I have to do a project on Jimi Hendrix in Social Studies and Died in a very disturbing way… I think that is what ruined by day..
Wednesday..
So Edmund, Lucy, And Eustus are back in Narnia and Eustus doesnt like it at all.. He has spent the entire time complaining and throwing up.. (I cant blame him for complaining I wouldnt be too fond of throwing up) So They are now on the Dawn Treader and The captain is King Caspian. It has only been Three years in Narnia time so not a lot of stuff has happened. But caspian and his men have kept the world free from evil. They are on the Dawn Treader now to go and Defeat more evil that has sprung up out of nowhere and now Lucy and Edmund get to join them. Lucy gets to stay on the ship in Caspians room but sadly she has to wear Caspian’s Clothes which are WAY TOO Big for her. So she gets them on and Lucy decided to comfort Eustus but instead he starts being a big baby..
Ok I cheered up. Blogging gives me Great Joy (Please note Sarcasm)
Ok well that is all BYE!! 🙂 🙂 🙂
Hey, song of today is whatcha say by jason derulo, and i decided to read Halo evolutions volume 1, not a novelization, more of different characters not mentioned in the game. the first is Soren, or Soren-66, and his mutations to become a spartan.
Okay, so the story Pariah starts with Soren, aged 6, making the choice to train and become a Marine in the United Nations Space Command (UNSC), which are fighting the Covenant, who is attempting to wipe out humanity. The doctor asking him to enlist has his official background (missing a few details), mentioning his mothers death from a treatable disease, but was left untreated because Soren, his mom, and his stepfather maintained an illegal farm on the planet Dwarka (not quite sure why its illegal) and she died, Soren’s stepfather acting like she was still barely breathing, but alive, resting in the locked boxroom. Well, Stepdaddy came home a little tipsy, so Soren stole his keys, saw his mother decaying on the food provisions. Soren cried, but soon plotted his revenge, picking up a knife in the middle of the night, waiting for the perfect moment… and plunges it straight into his neck. Soren immediatly ran into the forest surrounding the farm, but soon realized that both his stepfather lived and he couldn’t find food. Eventually, he became ‘one with the forest’, recognizing plant life, animal life, and even leaves that make warm beds. Awhile later, Steppop came out with a disease similar to Soren’s mom’s killer, so Soren stood over him, watching him suffer, until he finally died. Then he buried them and lived in the house until the provisions ran low. Then, he set off on a trek to the town of Ittybittytinytown (never really said where, again), where he was asked to be a Marine. So he trained. And trained. And had weird glimpses of his former life. And trained. Eventually, he was asked to undergo a special mutation, to transform into faster, stronger, smarter soldier, which yielded horrible results for Soren-66 and his platoon, all of which, he fared best. As it were, he is stronger, but pained, offset balance-wise with a shorter leg, and extremely powerful. The straps, microwoven with titainium, snapped like brittle spaghetti in a blender, and the Marines in another group were smashed aside, but shot him with enough tranquilizer to bring down an elephant on steroids, which renders him unconsious for about 30 minutes. When he awakes, he is strapped to the wall with titainium shackles, which he can’t break (Thats strong.) the doc that gave him the oppertunity to join the Marines, and suggested he became a Spartan, interogated him. Finally, he reports for duty, but is denied, and becomes a paper pusher at 16. He gets angry, and through the space hippieness of Partch, decides to do something about it. They break into a cupboard, steal a titainium box (probably a bomb, once again, left out), and gets stopped by a technician. Soren proceeds to slam him into the nearest solid surface, and run for a Longsword (spaceship). They almost get away, but their engines are killed, and they pinwheel down, until they crash. Judging by the fact that they found no body to match his figure (even after factoring in burn wounds), Soren lived, and escaped into the woods to live there again. Next week, something unrelated will happen. AKA, the end. Bye!
hey all, sorry i got sick. i had some strep throat, nasty stuff, anyways I should be at school tomorrow, if it’s open. i went to church at 7, go out at 8, and snow’s everywhere! it’s supposed to snow all night, so i dont know if we’re going to school tomorrow, but i’m still blogging! 10 min.
(continued from “back to journals week”) ….. when Henry tries to figure the lock out, the oldest cousin, Henrietta comes in. she sees the cupboards, then the plaster on the floor. Henrietta doesn’t to be too disturbed by the fact that Henry scraped plaster off of the wall, but she simply suggests that Henry cleans up all of the plaster on the ground. so he does. when he gets back they discuss what could be in the cupboards whether it’s treasure or other wise. after trying to open the cupboard unsuccessfully they decide that it’s time to go to bed…
Yeah, Julie. I wonder what harshed your mellow?

hey. on Hunger Game and left off as she was handed off to her prep team to get her ready for the opening ceremony. Peeta and Katniss go to seperate prep teams. There are 4 people who consist in Katniss’ prep team. There are the Prep team and her stylist. Her prep team rips all un needed hair, does her hair, and paints her nails. next comes her stylist who’s name is cinna. He is the most normal looking person in the whole city. Just so u know, the people in the capitol ar really bizarre. Once she gets to his room, he asks her to take off her clothes, he inspects hr very close then explains her costume for the opening ceremony. It is a simple black unitard with a firey cape and a head dress that will lit on fire along with the cape, but the flames wont hurt her. Yet Katniss still doesn’t want to be lit on fire. The reason they got this idea is because you are supposed to be dressed determined to your districts purpose. and district 12’s purpose is to mine for coal. So what lights coal? fire.
Kaitlin… Secret Smile Really??? Ha! I gotta Love you Kaitlin. Today was a good day though.. I am very happy today and I was really Generous I gave people Free HUGS!!! Can you imagine how many people I made happy today.. Just by giving them A hug???!!!! ITS AWESOME! I probably gave at the least 100 Hugs! Word spreads fast so soon people I didnt even know were hugging me.. It was kinda Strange But I am becoming more Saintly…? and it gets kinda nasty after a while hugging people over and over again.. Especially Sweaty People.. UGHH! But.. It was a good day. And I enjoyed that awesome lady that came and started spinning all those balls on her hands! I totally want to learn how to do that!
Now I must blog.. I got off topic
SO, Right now Edmund and Lucy are just chilling on the Dawn Treader having a good time and doing work. And Eustus continues to throw up. Apparently… He is Sea Sick.. So Lucy being as awesome as she is got her Cordial with stuff in it that heals you whenever you are sick and she gives it to Eustace (I found out I was spelling Eustace wrong but E-U-S-T-A-C-E is the correct spelling) Eustace is no longer SeaSick but he is not getting along with the giant mouse Reepicheep (Who is my favorite Character) Eustace likes to play pranks on Reepicheep and Reepicheep likes to Fight Eustace and cause him great pain. Eustace is soo annoying! He Drives me CRAZY!!!! Eustace should go and eat a bug! Eustace is threatening to Kill Reepicheep because he Hit Eustace with his sword. So caspian breaks them up and gets them to shut up. I also found out that King Caspian and his men are going to The Lone Islands. They are going there to find the Seven Lords who Miraz sent away in the previous book. So caspian is going to try and find them to see if they are alive.
Ok, I am done Blogging. 🙂 Now I must go and find more people to hug. -Julie
hey doing 20 minutes on halo.
first in doing a scamper.
the sentence is it didn’t make much sense, though.
simplify- It didnt make much sense.
combine-and they were building. it didnt make much sense that they were building.
adapt-much sense it made not. adapted to 1500 type people
modify- why didnt it make much sense?
p
eliminate- it didnt make much sense to him.
rearange-though it didnt make much sense.
the master chief was in the debriefing room with his other fellow spartans. doctor halsley was about to send him on the most important mission of his life. he would board an enemy ship and capture it. the artificial intelegence cortana would help him with that.
him and his spartans were getting ready to leave when all of a sudden they get a transmission from reach saying they are under attack. the covenant is trying to take over the military base.captain keyes fights till only the master chief remains. then they have to innitiate the cole protocol.
cortana annalizes a rock that the covenant was interested in.she finds some coordinates on it and goes to the place there she finds the ring shaped planet called halo. on it are different terrains like desserts oceans and jungles. that is all i read.
Hey! So, I have been the ‘Gifted’ series. I finish the 3 that I have in less than a week! So, in the third book, I don’t really see why Emily is so depressed that her gift isn’t on solid ground. I also don’t get why Sarah refuses to use her gift, it’s so cool! If I could control people, everyone annoying near me would be quacking like a duck!
Anyways, I don’t see why Mademae doesn’t support them using their gifts. In some ways, she’s right, but in others, it’s just mean. I would be supportive and get them to practice and learn how tho help people with them.
I think all the books are alike b/c the characters (for the most part) stayed the same.
Mademae is still their teacher.
They still have their gifts.
Amanda snatches someones body in all the books.
Emily always sees something in the future
And Ken almost always hears voices of the dead.
They are different b/c
In the second book, someone pretends to be Jenna’s dad.
Amanda snatches different bodys.
Ken mostly talks to different people.
Emily keeps seeing differnt things.
In the third book, some of the students get kidnapped.
I think that this book is a very good idea, but some of the writting needs a little work. But, the story its self, is very creative. The characters are very well thought through. Their gifts are very unique, where did the author get the idea that someone should be able to communicate with dead people??? It’s so cool. And the fact that he’s a jock, just makes it cooler! I think you should read these, but they might not have them at school. These books are awesome!!!!!!
Bye!!!
Monday
This week I’m blogging about The Castaways of the Flying Dutchman. It is by Brian Jaques, the author of the Redwall series. Anywho, I know that he wrote this to entertain the reader. I pretty sure anyways. I think he wrote this to entertain, but he used facts about the countries and myths of the Flying Dutchman to an advantage, because he twists it to a new point of view of a never-before-heard-of-character. At the same time though he creates the image a huge ship where the boy is put in the galley.
Tuesday
Wondering what would have happened if Neb (the boy in Castaways of the Flying Dutchman) would have escaped in Denmark?
My guess is that he would have found the black lab and went to a bench and hid until the pirates were gone. Then he would have made a home and been one of those beggars who sits on the corner of the block in New York. Or maybeif he didn’t like the dog anymore … sell the poor black lab. I mean that’s what I would have to do if I were him, but I’m not so that is all his discision. That is what I think would have happened to Neb if he escaped the ship in Denmark.
Wednesday
After a lot of thought The Castaways of the Flying Dutchman is like the beginning of Peter and the Starcatchers. They both have characters get on ships. Neb got on because he was running from his stepbrothers and one of them hit him and he fell into the ice cold water, then all of a sudden a stringy rope hits his head and he uses all his strength to climb onboard. In the other book orphans get onboard because the are forced to be slaves to an evil king overseas. Well, I mean, they have \the same ideas just different plots.
Thursday
So far the captain of the Flying Dutchmanis making a deal with a chinease merchant who is offering FOUR emeralds for him to deliver emeralds to other high-payng people. On another POV a boy is running from his stepbrothers and runs into a dead-end. His stepbrothers or the ocean?!?!?!?!?!? Which is worse?!?!?!?
