When I was about six or seven i dressed as a red crayon. Red was my favorite color. The costume was a full body suit that said crayola on it and i had a pointy read hat. I dressed like that with all my cousins. Except they were their own favorite colors like purple, pink, yellow blue and so forth. From what I can remember it was really fun. That was the first time my mom let me go trick or treating without a sibling or cousin that was older than me.
Another year I dressed as an army woman. My dad is in the army so he let me use some of stuff such as, camoflage paint for my face, a camo bandana and a camo hat. I thought I looked pretty awesome.
This year I am dressing up as tinkerbell. Sinse it already freakin snowed I am going to be so cold. So I am going to go to walmart and get me so green leg warmers. I was going to be a GI Joe but than i decided that I wasn't going to do that becuase the stuff i needed to buy for that was going to end up being quite a lot of money. But maybe i should have because if I was a GI joe than I wouldn't be so freakin cold!!!!!!

Top Ten Books Chosen by Teens
Out of the 10 there were to choose from I have only read breaking dawn so i chose that one. I think it is an excellent book to be in the top ten. I really enjoyed reading that book. I tink that the main reason it is in the top ten is becuase all teanage girls love that book becuase it is the perfect love story and everybody wants their own vampire/wearwolf.
I have to admit that when i read that story I wished that, that was reality. To be able to have someone that perfect and beautiful it's just hard to come by. The story is great but there a couple flaws. One is that Bella is so pethetic. Stephanie Meyer could have made her character so much better. Some may say that i say this just becuase I am jealous. But I'm not. Why be jealous of a fictional character? It's just that she doesn't know how to take care of her self and she is nothing without him. I think that just becuase a boyfriend leaves you doesn't mean your whole life and world are over. You just need to keep living life to the fullest.

Edger Allan Poe
It seems like reading Edgar Allen Poe stories around Halloween is a rite of passage for students in English classes. He wrote poems such as "The Raven" and "Annabel Lee" and stories like "The Tell-Tale Heart", "The Black Cat", "The Fall of the House of Usher", "The Cask of Amontillado", "The Masque of the Red Death", "The Pit and the Pendulum", etc.If you have read Poe stories before, which ones have you read and what do you remember of them? Did you like them? How scary/creepy were they? Share your memories of you or teachers reading the works of Edgar Allen Poe.If you have not read Poe or don't remember, describe to me what you expect from a classic horror writer? What kinds of stories do you think we'll be reading? Have you ever read scary stories?
I have never read Edger Allan Poe. So I don't know which of his books I would like. I think it is just a relief that it is not Shakespeare. I think just about everything is better than Shakespeare. I love Scary stuff like haunted houses and scary movies. But I have never really read a scary book.
The reason i have never read a scary book is because I don't really think i could get into it. I have this problem with reading and I can't really pay attention. I hear about all these people that can just read a story and the picture forms in there head. Well I am jealous of them because I sure can't do that. That is why I am such a slow reader because I try to read slowly so I can visualize everything in my head but it still doesn't really help me.
I am willing to give Edgar a chance as long as I can make sense of his poems and his stories.
I have heard that his writing can get a little creepy and that is good because the creepier the better. So we will just have to see over the next couple weeks if it is scary to me or not and if i can understand it or not. I am pretty excited though becuause I have never had an english teacher that has let us read scary stories around halloween time.
