Favorite Books

I'm really bored today. So I'll write another post. What's your favorite book??? I am obbessed with reading and constantly needs more novels. I have even entered a reading contest at school!!! I like fantasy and realistic fiction. So send me an e-mail or comment so i can read!!! Thanx! :)

Shoot!

UGH!! DI troubles again. So I was supposed to make the team sign. You have to put the team number, school, level, and team name. I put everything on but the sign except the team name because i wanted to make sure I didn't spell it wrong. (Scrumpdidlyumpious muffins, stupid name!!!) I had made a tower of girl scout cookie boxes to mount it on. When I went to DI, I showed them the sign. They didn't like it because I don't have the greatest handwriting(I mean come on, its not even counted for score!!) Then they were like all weird about my tower. So then Mrs. Stupid Team Manager come and says "I have the perfect idea!" She brings out this half a trifold and everyone is like "Perfect, ok you can do it" They give my job to someone else!!!! My mom says a good team manager should get the team to let me have a second chance. But NOOO, she just lets them go on and tell me I did it wrong. I don't feel very appreciated. I am glad this will be over in a week. :(

Me Sad!!!

My sister had her first basketball playoff game. I'm sad because they lost so she's all mad and insulting everybody. Shoot. I have DI today. OK, BYE!!! :)/:(

Short Story

Hey, I am writing a shorty story for a contest. I'm not sure what to call it but here it is. Make sure you comment! :)


I gazed into the new girl’s crystal clear blue eyes. She introduced herself as Kate. She said she was from Birmingham, Alabama. People snickered at her country accent. I didn’t mind her accent, I thought it was cute. When Mrs. Ray asked the class who would show Kate around school, my hand shot up immediately. Mrs. Ray ushered Kate to the empty seat beside. I gave her a flashy grin and said, “Hey, I’m Marcus. How are you doing.” I thought she’d like to see what good hospitality I had. She just giggled and tossed her sunshine blond hair. I couldn’t care less about the lesson on adverbs Mrs. Ray was droning on about, I was too distracted by Kate’s great looks and how we’d be going out in just a couple of days. My thoughts were interrupted by the piercing bell we had at Smith Middle School. I ran to catch up with Kate who had already left the classroom. “So, can I show you where your locker is, and carry your books,” I was babbling like an idiot so I slowed down and finished I mean if you want.” “Thanks” That’s all she said as she dumped all her textbooks on me. By the time we got to her locker I was panting. I decided to spring the question on her. “So Kate,” I started coolly, “I was wondering. Do you want to go out this Saturday? I know this great diner it’s called-” I stopped because she was laughing. “Why are you laughing?” I asked. “Because Marcus,” she was still trying to stifle her giggles, “I have a boyfriend.” She tossed her hair and walked into her next class.

Some Good and Mostly Bad Things I Going Through

OMG! A lot has been going on. I'll start with some bad new and end with good news(I can finish on a happy note)

DI
Okay, so the regional DI competion is next next Saturday. Our tewam has been working really hard(sort of) to do well. Well traditionally you have a good team manager who always helps your team along but no, we get a mother who never pays attention to us at all she just goes off and cook and does laundry while we struggle. And then when i try to do something she gets all mean. I'm different, you know, and sometimes people just don't get me. she is definitely some i would put in this catergory. Her daughter is sooo lazy too. She just sits on the couch and makes bad comments to everyone. I hope this will be over so next year I will move again to yet another team.
Band
So in band I play oboe a fanastical double reed instrument( if you don't know what it is look it up on Wikipedia) We do practice journals. We have to play 100 minutes a week to go to the big party at th end of each grading period. So just if you can keep a secret I fake them but its to keep my grades up, I'm a busy person. Usually what happens is our band director keeps them for about three weeks them gives them to a kid to distribute. A couple weeks ago my mom and I saw that I had an 80 on a practice journal we wondered what it could be for. I guess its a big thing not to use pen on a practice journal because I got 20(!!!!!) points taken off for that. She probably said that once last year when we started practice journals and it say it once in our band binders. COME ON, 20 points!!! UGH!!!
Books
I love books!!! I think the kids at my school library are getting annoyed because I come everyday getting more books. I read books all time. They are what keep me going. In our county they are having a competition for the best comprehension of 10 books, I've read 9 so far and can't wait to finish. I realy want to be great!!! :)
So not everythinmg is good but there's always tommorow for dreams to come true(from the Rudolph Christmas Special. Hee Hee ;)

This Sucks!!!

UGH!!! I HATE THIS!!! So I do DI(Destination Imagination) We have meetings from 2-4 on Saturdays. My sister has her last basketball game of the regular season on Saturday at 2. I cheer at her games and I really want to be there. My mom asked my D! coach if we could move from 2-4 to 3-5. But then the coaches family(one of his daughters is one of my good friends) says that they're having a party at that time. So then my mom suggests a morning meeting but OH NO, the same family is having relatives from OUT OF TOWN coming to see their youngest(kindergartens) picture at our citys art museum. I mean come on, I've seen the picture its of a vase with three flowers in it with magic marker. And the only reason it was picked because the art teacher's has favorites and that family is part of that group because a) they're Alabama fans b) they're on one of the clubs she sponsers c) they are good, perfect children(not really). Who brings people out of town to see a kindergarteners artwork!!!! So now I can't go to the party. I HATE THAT!! On the bright side, I got a 98 on my math and science test! :)

MATH MADNESS!!!!

I hate my math teacher. She SUCKS!!!! She always says stuff like "no homework on a test night" and "no homework on weekends" but she gives it to us and says "I don't care". And when she marks something off on a test we all tell her you didn't teach us that but she goes on and says "Yes, i did." She is a liar and not a very good teacher. I'm sorry I'm such a pessimist but that's what blogs are for. ;)
