It was a dark and stormy night. We were getting ready to go trick or treating. It would be our first experience trick or treating in the freezing rain. It was getting creepier and creepier the later the night was getting. I then remembered that my friends had dared my to stick a knife into a grave, like in the book Scary Stories From the Dead. This story is about a girl who had to stick a knife into a grave, and then stand on the grave. The girl was told that if she were to do that, she would be killed by the person buried in the grave. I had never finished the story but, she supposedly died. I am not scared of anything so I said that I would do it. I stood on the grave and stuck the knife in the ground to prove that I had been there. I looked around, and nothing happened. So I left, I went back to my house where my friends were waiting for me. When I got back, we all walked down to the graveyard. When we got there, the knive wasn't there. We looked at every single grave. There was no knive! We looked all over once again, and once we got to the grave stone I was on...........

"BOO!!!!" One of my best friends jumped out at me.

"What was that for?" I yelled at him!

"We were here the whole time! Do you think that we would let you come here alone and do this? You are a brave one, but we wouldn't let you do it alone! I took the knife out, so i know that you are brave enough to do this. You win........ you get all of our Halloween Candy, combined!"

My favorite season is fall. Fall is just so much fun, with the cold football games, delicious hot apple cider with donuts, the beautiful fall leaves, and my favorite holiday, Halloween. My favorite fall activity is decorating for Halloween with my wonderful family. I usually decorate either the first or second weekend of October when the chill has just begun. When the season to finally decorate comes, I decorate with my sister, Haley, my dad, and my dads girlfriend, Megan. When decorating, I feel excited. I feel like the season I wait for all year long, has finally arrived. The day begins with going to get pumpkins. We have to make sure that they are the perfect shape, and size, and are the perfect orange color. Then we head to McDonalds to get some delicious hot chocolate to take home while we decorate in the chilly air. This activity continues with going into the attic to find all of the Halloween decorations. After we fetch the decorations, we go out into the yard, usually after about nine o'clock at night, and begin to decorate the side yard. We start with T. Bones, the dancing skeleton. Next, we put out Marcus the Carcus, which looks like a head, two hands, and two feet sticking out of the frosted ground. After that we put out the bright flashing light, that lights up the whole yard. Then, we string spider webs all around the porch posts. Before we move to the front yard there is on more decoration, the moving, "booing" ghost. This is a ghost that moves back and forth, "booing". We then move to the front yard. In the front yard we continue by hanging up a wreath on the front door. We end our decorating with hanging orange string lights all around the house. After we decorate the house we will go inside and finish our hot chocolate, with a great Halloween or fall movie, such as Hocus Pocus. Decorating for Halloween is my favorite, annual, fall activity.

Sameness and Difference

Difference can be very good and bad at times also. Difference can be good because you can be different from everyone else and you can be unique. Difference is also good because you don’t have to act like everyone else, and you can express your true feelings. With difference you can have choices. You can choose your spouse, your house, what you do for a living, etc. Difference can also be bad at times. With difference, you can be judged, you can be judged by what you do, how you dress, how smart you are, what you are feeling, your friends, and many more!! Difference is good and bad in so many ways.

Sameness can be good and bad in a few ways also. Sameness is good because there is no judgement, or making fun of people. You are not rated how popular you are, and there can be no depression. You are not classified by what you are or how you act. Sameness can also be very bad because there is no emotion in the world, no love, no colors, no weather. All of the important things in the world! A world of sameness can be fair, or maybe boring.

blog free writing #1

What would you do with a million dollars? You have to separate it out. Ex. I would give $100,00 to Miss Slawinski to help her kids get laptops to work on their blogs. I would give 20 bucks to my little brother so he would be quiet. Make sure you account for all your money! Remember to EXPLAIN everything.

If i had a million dollars, first i would give $300,000 to my mom to buy a new house, we would need 4 bedrooms, plus a guestroom for my brother when he comes to visit after the Navy. Then, i would give $200,000 to my dad to buy a house for him, he however only needs 3 bedrooms. Then i would put about $100,000 in the bank to save up for college. Then i would take around $50,000 to buy a nice car, for when i get older. Finally, with the leftover $350,000, i would save for anything that i would need it for in the future.

Welcome to the land of blogging! I am so excited to start this project with you. In your first post, write down any problems or questions you have about your blog. Was it easy to start your blog? What ideas do you have incorporating your blog into class? Finally, give me an idea for your next free write.

I think that setting up this blog was fairly easy. It was a little confusing at first but overall it was pretty easy. I think that this was so much fun. I think that you could post freewrites, vocab. words, and just class chats on our blogs. I really dont know what we could do as far as ideas for a freewrite goes. But i really love doing this.
