So far from what I have seen I think this movie has proved a very good point on how everyone thinks they are perfect. Even those who are perfect have a flaw somewhere. For instance, when Anton faced Vincent in the swimming race Anton, the “perfect child”, almost drowned. Vincent had to go back and rescue him. Vincent who later becomes known as Jerome tries to be perfect but messes up when an eye lash of his is found. Jerome, being perfect, got a silver medal in the olympics and later tried to kill himself which he also failed at.

The smell of them then differs than how they smell now. Then they smelled new and the green paint was a shinier green. Now they smell old and musty and the green paint is kind of dull. My grandmother let my sister and I play with them when we went to her house so we would stay out of trouble. She passed away a few years ago and my sister and I begged my dad to keep them instead of selling them. So now we have them and they are living in the basement.

They mean a lot to us because our grandmother meant a whole bunch to us. My sister is going to take them once she moves out because I know she was closer to my grandmother than I was and it seems like the right thing to do. When I see them I become sort of sad because she’s no longer with us but I am also happy because we were able to save one of the things she cared about and we can remember her for something she kept. I was too little to remember but we have pictures of my grandmother dressed up as Raphael for Halloween because he was my sisters favorite character. She loved watching TMNT and playing video games just as much as we did so keeping them is something to remember her by.

My Dad

My dad is 6 ft he used to be taller but shrunk a little. My dad was a firefighter until while doing one of their training days his back went out on him and he had to either decide to have a desk job or retire. He chose retire because he wanted to be close to me and my sister. He has long grey hair that he puts up so it will stay out of his face. I think its funny and I often tell him that one day I’m gonna put it up in pigtail for him. He has three older siblings and one younger sibling. He was born in Ohio and moved to Pennsylvania when he turned ten and he tells us all the crazy stuff they did out there. He takes care of his dad a lot now because his dad can’t move around as much as you use to be able to. So he takes him out every other day for breakfast to spend time with him.

I’m told I take after my dad and I can see why they say that. He is funny, quick with the jokes, very sarcastic, not at all antisocial, loves to embarrass his kids, and everyone loves him. He is always there for others if they need him and he gives good advice to those who need it. I admire him a lot for the things he has done and the things he has given to others.

Fun Fun

I’ve only been to Hershey Park three times so far in my life. When you walk in you can see food and drink vendors, rides, souvenirs, and of course the mascots that walk around. The souvenir shops sell a whole bunch of items that have the Hershey park logo on it just to prove you were there. You can smell the food they just made as your walking though the park. You can hear screams from people who get on the rollercoaster rides and you can hear the little kids screaming because the little kiddy ride scares them. The park has a few water rides that I love to get on because if it is a hot day the cold water feels really nice it makes you wanna ride it again. I love how it makes you feel like your really in a boat or on the river.

There is a water ride called River Water Rapids. You sit in this huge tube that has eight seats and when it starts it feels like your actually going through the rapids. You get really soaked when you get splashed by one of the rapids or from going under the water falls. When I get on it I feel excited because I love water and i’m always with someone I know which makes it better. That was also the first ride my mom took me one when I was younger because I was afraid of all the other rides. It really is fun ride and I like it a lot. I always want to ride it over and over again.

My friend Rachel Grimes also loves the River Water Rapids. She is really funny and she always full of excitment. In the band at our highschool she was one of the kids everyone liked because she got along with everyone. We went to Hershey Park one year with the band and we heard there was a record on the River Water Rapid ride. Rachel really wanted to break the record of going on it fifteen times. No one wanted to ride it with her but she is so stubborn that she wouldn’t ride any other ride until she broke that record. So I went with her because I really love that ride and I thought maybe she would wimp out. We got on the ride at 6 pm and didn’t get off till 9 pm. We beat the record by one because we were so cold and our bus was about to leave. We got to our bus cold and soaked and everyone just looked at us funny. We told them what we did and they couldn’t believe we stayed on that ride for so long. Rachel and I told everyone it was worth it and we would do it again.

Describing Myself

fttq — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 19:40:38 +0000

I am five foot three and I guess people consider that short. I have reddish-brown hair with blond highlights but they are faded now. Really dark brown eyes that change to a lighter brown when I cry which is really weird. Some of my relatives say I look like my mom while the other half say I look like my dad but honestly I think I look more like my sister. My sisters friends always get us confused because we look almost alike. When they first meet me and I am with my sister they say “Are you guys sisters? Cause you both look the same” we get that all the time.

My weaknessess are being shy and procrastinating. When I meet new people it’s hard for me to talk to them and I’m not really sure why. It doesn’t help much since I’m in college now and need to make friends. Hopefully I will get over it soon so I can expand my friend circle. When I have homework to do I usually wait till the last minute to do it which is really bad. I have been getting better at doing my work before starting to play video games or watching T.V. It’s hard though but so far this year I have been doing well, at least I hope.

One things about me that make me laugh is that I can turn my tongue upside down. I was bored one day and decided to try it and I ran to my dad and said “Look what I can do” he laughed. Another thing is when I’m around my friend Rebecca we are always making each other laugh. I laugh at myself for that because when I rant about something I start to sound like a comedian and it really gets her and my other friends laughing. (Thanks dad for your sence of humor)

My friend Rebecca comments ” She is humorous, fun to be around, everybodys friend unless she’s in bitch mode which rarely happens, is awesome, always up for something new, spontaneous, great friend, brings out the best in people unless she pisses them off then I find that funny, very talented, and is very independent. Elliot comments “Fing Awesome!!!”

How I feel about writing.

fttq — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 19:02:37 +0000

I don’t really care for writing. It’s fun to do but I don’t really like the writing about stuff the teachers tell us to write about. I guess it’s because I can never think of a way to start the whole paper. In sixth grade I had a teacher who was very boring and really mean to her students. She didn’t teach very well and she yelled at you if you spelled a word wrong and didnt even bother to help you figure out what you did wrong. That got really annoying. The best English teacher I had so far was in 11th grade. She helped you if you were struggling and she could tell when you were. She stayed after class if you needed her and she was very nice also very energetic.

Item I own

This may seem a little silly but the item that I own that means a lot to me is my Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle action figures. They are green and each turtle has a different ribbon around their eyes along with a big brown shell on their back. On the shell are little holes kind of like what a speaker has so sound can come out. There are also holes on the side of the shell where you would insert a long piece of red wire. When you ran that through the side of the shell the turtle would say “Cowabunga Dude” or something about Shredder, I can’t remember them all. The smell of them then differs than how they smell now. Then they smelled new and the green paint was a shinier green. Now they smell old and musty and the green paint is kind of dull. My grandmother let my sister and I play with them when we went to her house. She passed away a few years ago and my sister and I begged my dad to keep them instead of selling them. So now we have them and they are living in the basement. They mean a lot to us because our grandmother meant a whole bunch to us. When I see them I become sort of sad because she’s no longer with us but I am also happy because we were able to save one of the things she cared about and we can remember her for something she kept.

Hershey’s

fttq — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 13:59:14 +0000

The first time I had a Hershey’s chocolate bar was when my parents took me camping and we made smores. I loved it so much that I only wanted to eat the chocolate out of the smore. When you hold a Hershey’s chocolate bar it’s hard and you can easily snap it in half. The downside is if you hold it in your hand too long it starts to melt, it starts to feel squishy, your hands get really messy and you can’t really snap it in half then. When I see a Hershey’s bar I start to think about the camping memories my family had together. Looking at the Hershey’s chocolate bar you see that it has mini rectangular pieces which make up one big rectangular piece of heaven. The smell of a Hershey’s bar is so rich and you can tell it’s a Hershey bar because no other chocolate smells like it, well at least to me. The taste of a Hershey’s chocolate bar is a thick rich taste that melts in your mouth. Once you’re done eating it you wished you had more. Hearing the sound of a wrapper open is a sign that someone has candy. When you hear students yelling “Selling Candy for Fundraiser” you run up to them as fast as you can because you know they have Hershey bar somewhere in the box they are holding.
