Passing...

I was a little confused about this topic but ill give it a try. Someone can pass by a driving in a car on the road. People do it everyday and all day. Also anyone could pass a someone different by dressing up in a costume. You could be mini mouse, a dragqueen, hannah montana or anyone. Some do it all the time and some only on Halloween. Some men love to do it every weekend and just get a thrill out of it I think. People can pass as anything or anyone they want by costumes.

Pass..

Different ways someone can pass....
You can pass a test,
Pass someone in a car on the road,
A guy can pass as a women (dragqueen),
A blonde can pass as a brunette and visa versa,
Anyone could pass a character by being in a costume.

My Love

One person I deeply love is my finace. I love everything about him but there is one thing I would change. I wish he didnt fall asleep so fast! That is honestly the only thing I would change. We can sit down and watch a movie and he falls asleep within 5 minutes tops. It is so annoying. When we go to the movies he always falls asleep. It never fails, at about 8:30 where ever he is at he is going to be shutting his eyes. Most nights when we watch a movie I always end up watching it by myself and then the next day we always have to watch it before we can watch something else so he see what he missed. That is really annoying too because half the time I dont wanna watch it again. It sounds like something silly to change ,but we love to watch movies and it really gets in the way of getting to enjoying watching them together.

First Time at the Circus

The first time I ever went to the circus I was so excited. I was probably 5 and my sister was 8. We both couldn't waite to get there. When we first got there I loved seeing all the stations set up with soveiners that you could get. Then we got to our seats and it seemed like we waited for ever! I remember the lights going out and the music starting, I filled with excitment. Then the ringmaster came out and it all began! First the big elephants came out, the tigers, trapeze artist, and then the motor cylce event! All of the costumes were so full of color, glitz, and character. This was also the first time I realized that I was horrified of clowns too! they scared the living daylight of me! I did love how they acted silly but as long as they stayed FAR away from me. Me and my sister were so amazed at everything there. One of my most favorite things that I loved the most was the icees! I got the one that was a clown head and you could pop the hat off The icee was blue, red and yellow! It was soo good. I also got a twirly light and when you mashed the button it lite up and twirled. I had a ball with that thing too. I had so many good memories at the circus.

One kids to many..

Nadya Suleman, I dont even know if words can describe what I feel about her. I understand that some people just love kids, but she has just went to far! Having 8 kids and knowing you can't really afford all of them, and then going and having more?! What was she thinking. I think she is a psycho women. I think she had kids for the wrong reasons. I think she has obssessed over Angelina Jolie so much she thought if she made her self look like her and had all of these kids people would being to notice her and she would have pubilicty. That brings me believe that people should not be able to have as many kids as they want. If you know you cant afford them then you shouldnt have them. I think personally some people have kids becasue they know they will get more child support, food stamps, and help from the government without having to work a whole bunch. Its very sad but very true in my opinion. Nadya is one of those people because she has stated on a TV show that she cant afford all of them and that she even has a website for you to donate money to her family. It makes me so mad that you would bring a child into the world KNOWING you CANT afford them. You shouldnt rely on other people to support your family. I think the government should have a restriction on how many kids women have based on their income. It sounds far fetched but I think if you could figure out a way to make it work that it would be very beneifical.

What I see....

Well I decided to observe people on campus. I sat on a bench and watched people as I waited for my next class to start on Monday. Every time I sit there I always see something new. There were so many different types of people that walked by. Some were dressed to a "T" and some in jeans and a t-shirt. Then you had some that were "Emo" , "Boho", "Preppy". I loved to see all the different types of fashions on campus. One thing I did notice was EVERYONE was always on the phone, whether texting or talking, they were on a phone. If they weren't on a phone they were jamming to their IPod. One thing that I was interested in watching was peoples ways of travel. Most was by foot or bike but you had your occasional skate boarders and I even saw a scooter! The scenery was the same, obviously, but I did enjoy listening to the birds chirp and watching the the ducks in the pond. When people would walk by, they talked about their classes, jobs, etc but mainly, what bar they were going to. It seemed like everyone that walked by was talking about what bar they had been , what bar they were going to or what they wanted to go too. It was sad in my opinion because I just don't see the point in going out and party every night but that's just me. I saw so many colors, patterns, brands, conversations it was unreal! i never really realized how much you observe in 20 minutes if you just really pay attention.

The economy

One issue that affects me and my family as well as others is the economy. Right now the economy is so bad and it has really affected us. By just talking to friends and people in our community it has really been tough on everyone. I honestly don't know how I would argue this point because it in some ways is so contriversal and in some ways out of our hands. I do think, people with small businesses and such should all try their best to get their voices heard on how bad things are. If you argue and tell them what would help maybe they might listen. It's a tough situation to argue about because there is so much to say, but alot of it we have no control over.

My moma says I can argue with a brick wall....

I honestly don't know the most effective way to argue. If you are just arguing to argue then you probably wont accomplish very much at all! Probably the best way to argue would be listen to the other person and not just pop off at the mouth and think about what your going to say. When you say it be rational and be an adult about it. Screaming and cussing doesn't get you anywhere. I know my biggest problem is that I ALWAYS have to have the last word. It never fails ad every time I do, the argument just escalates and becomes even worse. I know whats going to happen but I just cant control myself! If you are rational about it then the problem will be resolved quicker and way better than it would if you just jumped off and started yelling and screaming. Most people don't know how to be rational because there are so mad to being with confrontation doesn't help. If you are arguing for a good reason then you could accomplish something in the sorts of recognition or someone in a higher position will see what your arguing about ( maybe animals ) and make happen what your arguing about. On the other hand if you are just arguing for all the wrong reason's it wont accomplish anything in my opinion.

My hero...

I would define a hero as being an important figure in your life because they have helped you overcome an event or has always been there and done things for you when no one else was. People probably have many of their own definitons but I think ultimitly that is what everyone's is based on. My hero would be my grandma, my parents, and of course the Lord! my grandma was my rock. She was the half that made me whole ( as cheesy as that sounds). I could tell her anything and I know she wouldnt tell anyone. She supported me in anything, it didnt matter if I was the most craziest unrealistic thing, she always told me to go for it. We were so much alike, we thought just alike and we looked alot a like (when she was in her younger days of course!) Thats why she and everyone else called me Mini Me. I went to her house everyday and stayed for hours. I love every minute of it. She was an important figure in my life and made a VERY big impact on my life. My parents are my other heros. They have always been there for me no matter what. My family has the closest relationship and I am very fortunate for that. All through high school, pageants, sports, wedding planning, and college they are soo supportive. My parents have always tried to give us everything even if they had to do without, but they didnt care if we were happy. They have been the ones to influence all my dicisons and they have all been in a positive way. Of course the Lord is my hero. He is there with me everystep of the way! I wouldnt have my awsome family, friends, or life if it hadnt been for him. I owe all of it to him!

Evil

I think evil as being very mean, kiniving, and hateful. Most people that you would call "evil" have absolutley no respect, are hateful to everyone, and like to hurt people, whether it is mentally or phyically in my opinion. The dictonary defines evil as " morally reprehensible, or causing harm". I completely agree with that. A good decription of evil of would be the devil to me. When you do something out of norm and its not in a good way I believe its the devil trying to overcome the graces of God. Also if you have ever thought about it if you drop the "D" you get EVIL! I have sat and sat to try and think of the perfect description but nothing really comes to mind expect the words I said above. Evil people have a bad way of thinking and can hurt people and it not even phase them.

Rickasha

With all the bad things going on outside our country it really does affect us. The war has been a big issue with oil. Prices go up and up and up! It got to were it was unbearbale for a while and they have slowly came back down but they are still high compared to 5 years ago! Its like rickasha, what ever happens over seas affects come right back to us and afffects us too. Japan and China's sales have all gone down just as well as ours. Everyones economy is bad right now. When a war or something breaks out we have to watch out for terrorist attackes. There are si many things that have affected us because of things happening over seas.

Responsibilites

Well first off I think that your responsibility within your home or community never end. That is where the bases for responibility start in my opinion. You have the responisblity to be respectful, do chores, and so fourth. Then comes our responsibility for our state and then our country. I honestly think when it gets to the point of being outside our country it is debatable. Many epople think since it is not directly at them they dont have to care and if they cant do anytning about it then why worry. I do believe though that will everything going on like the war in Iraq, the economy cris we should keep up our daily responsibilites. They may not be much but its the little things that matter. We have laws that we have to go by whether we agree or not we haver to deal with it. If we just be responsible people and not make things worse than they already are I think things would go alot smoother.

Different Perspective

Well, I am not even going to lie, its really hard for me to look at them in a positive way. The one good thing about them is that they are good with kids. When I try to see it from their view it still doesnt help. I have honestly never done anything to this person. They are just mad because I got the things they wanted first. It wasnt intentional by no means, it just happened that way. They are just one of those people who are that way and you honestly cant say anything good about them. I know that sounds really bad, but you can ask anyone who went to school with that person or just knows them.

Meany Person....

I am a pretty easy going person. I like everybody for the most part. If I dont then you musted have reaaallyy did something to piss me off. This one particular person, if I even hear their name it feels like a fire just started inside me! This person is the most hateful, rude, disrespectful person I have ever meet in my life! This person will walk right in a house that is not theirs and not speak to a soul not even the homeowners!! They are a very jealous person so what ever anybody gets they pitch a fit and made the biggest deal out it. When I got engaged that person to this day still has not told me or my fiance' congratulations and this person dates a family member of my fiance. I have had people come back to me and tell me things this person has said about my family ( when they have no idea what they are like because they have never met them), the family of the person they are dating, and soo on. This person is the most nasty thing I have ever been around. They acts nasty and carry their self that way too. It is really sad ,but I dont have time for people like that. Words cant even describe how ugly acting this person is.

College

What am I looking for in college? Well, when I started college I had many things running through my brain. I wanted to find new people I could call friends, realize the things about me I missed in high school being I stayed under a rock, and test myself with school work; overall I was looking for a fresh new start. I have had a ruff experience with friends. Where I come from people judge you before they even get to know you ( and yes I know that's every where, but it really showed in some people), they judged me by my last name. My family has done in my eyes very well for themselves. They have worked for everything they had, it hasn't been handed to them. Yes, my daddy spoiled me rotten but I'm not a little brat. I have sense of what's practical and what's not. It got old because I got to where I couldn't trust anyone. They only people I did where my two best friends; Cristy and Meghan. I felt safe with them, in my comfort zone. Friendship was something I was really looking for when I started college. In high school you are just blooming into the "real" you or in my eyes you do. When I started high school I really was looking to find the rest of the real me. I am definitely my own person ,but somethings I still would like find out. I've always been good at school, it's like a second nature to me, honestly. I've always made good grades and I pride myself on that. I was looking for a challenge when I started college because I head everyone say how much harder it was than high school. It is harder in ways, my biggest thing was adjusting to the time of classes and how to space everything out. Also, I was so use to study guides, and they sure don't give you any in college! So far it's a ride I have enjoyed, and can't wait to see if I find what I'm looking for :)

Writing

Well, I would definitely have to say my biggest problem would be two things; proof reading and thinking of something to write about. I am the world's worst person to write a story and just tum it in. I don't know why I don't proof read because I know it's one of the most important things in the whole writing process! I think I just get so excited that I wrote the story and want to submit it and completely forget to do everything else. That's the story of my life! Ha The other thing is thinking of something to write about. When I am given a topic I could write a novel, but when told think of a topic and write about it, I am clueless. That's another one of those " I don't know why I do that". I struggled doing that in high school and my teacher in high school, bless her heart tried so hard to help me, but I just couldn't get the hang of it. It can get really frustrating! That is really the only two things I can't seem to get the hang of, but other than that I love writing. It's almost like a therapy. When you can't say it, writing makes it so much easier to express your emotions.

Odd Ball Out....

I would probably say that I stand out in my family. My sister always tells me I’m the odd ball! It doesn’t bother me though. I beat to the rhythm of my own drum for sure. I don’t care what people think and if there is something I want to do I do it. I have some eccentric taste in clothes, music, art, etc. My daddy tells me that is good because I go by what I like and not by what other are going by. I don’t care if i find a shirt that you would have worn 5 years ago, if I like it I’m going to wear it. I’m the only one in my family who will wear black finger nil polish; it’s just a color to me. One thing that people tell me I stand out is my way of thinking. I’m not one of those who will just say what im thinking by no means, my sister got that gene. I’m always the one be thinking all the way in left field when everyone is on right field. I don’t stand out because of bad reasons I think they are for good ones because I am my own person and that is the best way to be!

Back in the day....

I always remember this one story that my dad always told me about when he was younger. Him, His brother in law ( my uncle Pete) and a friend(Odie) were all partying and Odie got pulled over by a cop. My daddy and uncle pulled up realized who it was and talked to the cop. Little did he know Odie had Pete sneaking a pistle and beer out the car. Daddy talked to the cop and he ended up having to walk the dreaded white line and do the drunk test so he could drive Odie home. Seeing my dad now I can’t imagine him at that point! Don’t get wrong both of parents are so much fun to be around and know how to have a good time but that is just not in his character to me! Imagining what he was like that been is pretty funny to think about. I think he would be very laid back( like he is now) but with more a carefree philosophy. Scared would be a good word too, nobody likes the law especially in those circumstances. I think he would have beena social bug and up for anything. Overall I think he would be a really good person to get along with.

Funniest things ever!....

To some this may not be funny. It's one of those things that you just have to be there ,and see it for yourself. It was in 2006 at my sister's graduation. Me, my parents , and my two best friends ,Cristy and Meghan were sitting on the bleachers waiting for it to start. At that time our gym had no air condition and it was burning up in there. More and more people were starting to get there and within 10 minutes there wasnt an empty seat around us. Eventually, the ceremony started and we were all glad! We kept noticeing this little boy about 3 rows ahead of us. He was a loud and talkative little boy that wouldnt be quite for nothing! Well about 15 minutes in the ceremony he started running up and down the bleachers where he was sitting screaming, " Mooommmmmmy, I gotta take a POOPY!!". Everytime he would say it he would get louder and louder. Then finally, he walked down from the bleacher got at the very bottom of them and looked up at his mom and yelled it again! He was about 5 so in a way you know he knew better than to do that. His moms face turn red as a tomatoe. Everyone around around us had to put their hand over there face to stop them from laughing. He had been sitting there for about 20 minutes before it started but had to go right in the middle of the ceremony. The mom was so embarrassed he got him and left. Like I said, this is one of those things that you just had to be there, but my parents and friends remember it all the time and laugh everytime we think about it!

What grabs my attention....

When I am reading someone else's narrative, the thing that grabs my attention and draws me into the story is when I can relate to it. To me, when you can relate to that person it just makes the story have so much more emotion and thought because you have felt the same way. I love reading and have read many stories and that I love it when I can relate to the story in someway bcause you like to see how they handled it and the what possible made them have that story to tell. Narratives that keep you in suspense also draw me into them. Stories that keep you on the edge of your seat, not wanting to put the book because you want to see whats coming next are my favorite as well. Narratives seem to have more emotion than any other and that draws me into because I dont like to read something thats just blah & borning.

" Firsts "

Hmmmm, how many first can I think of? i remember the first time I went to the circus: I was amazed. I thouhgt it was the coolest thing I have ever seen! All the animals and events. That was probably the first time I realized I was terrified of clowns too! The first time I made a C on my report card in high school. I was in 11th grade and I was devestated. I have never made even below a 85 and I made a C! First time I went to a concert. It was with my cousin when I was about 8 or 9. We saw Britney Spears and the Backstreet Boys. The first time I enter a college class room was last semester and I was terrified/ Your use to seeing the same people and knowing everyone, in college you dont. The first time I fell in love was my senior year. ( who is now who I am going to marry). I was stubborn at first because I saw how many bad relationships my sister went through, but I am glad I took a chance. First time I touched sand on the beach was when I was a small tot and I loved to roll around in it! ha Gosh there are soo many more but I would have to write a book to tell them all.

My Earliest Memory...

My earliest memory that I can remember is when in the summer my parents would always take me and my sister down to my grandparents to swim. We would go early that morning and stay all day. One thing that I always remembered is when it would be time for my nap and my daddy would fix me warm chocolate milk in a pink bottle with flowers on it. He would take me to my mama's room and lay me down for my nap. Sometimes he would put me in the hammock under the shade. I would always go to sleep listening to everything around me, the wind, the sound of the water in pool, the birds chirping. We always had so much fun! My favorite part was getting to lay down in the hammock! I guess when your little things like that seem to be extrordinary.

Inauguration..inaguartion!

Boy! This whole political campaign has been one of the most historical and talked about in all of history. Personally, I am glad its over! I really hope to see the economy change. Since working with my dad I really the hurt the country is in when it comes to that. It is very scary because you honestly don't know what it will be like in two months from now. I am hopeful because I think with this inauguration it will bring change and I think that is something we need. Many people around me have mixed emotions. Some where happy and some weren't. It just all was based on their preference I guess.

My typical day to class....

Well, my typical day starts off about 7:30 a.m ( sometimes earlier). I get up, get dressed, let my dog out before I leave, put her back up ,and head to work. I am normally get there about 8:30 - 9:00. I work from then to about 10:00 or 10:15ish then head to school. On my way there, I get bored driving the 20 minutes it takes me to get there so I am normally jamming to the radio and singing right along. Even though I drive the same way twice a week to school I still always looked at everything I possibly can, like all the cows in the fields and so on. I love scenery. Once I get to Statesboro, I get frustrated at the traffic. Finally after all the red lights and crazy drivers I pull up to the parking lot by the bookstore and try and find a parking spot. 99.9 % of the time there isnt one so being pressed for time I just go to the visitor's parking lot and pray I dont get another parking citation. That is my typical day going to class.
