What If

Author's Note:
I am trying to make people think after each line

What if you won the lottery
What if you lost your house
What if you got a puppy
What if you lost your cat
What if you got flowers from that special someone
What if you found no one liked you

What if your life was full of color
What if you life was black and white
What if you got a $300 gift card for iTunes
What if your ipod broke
What if you were smart
What if you were dumb
What if you could see anything
What if you were blind
What if you got a ferrari
What if you crashed and died
What if you met Paris Hilton
What if you actually liked her
What if your mom had a new baby
What if your brother died
What if you went to school
What if you were homeless
What if you had friends
What if you lost them
What if you were beautiful
What if you weren't
What if you found your way in life
What if you got lost on that path
What if you went on a trip
What if you got stranded
What if
What if
Stop asking yourself the what if's
And start living any way you want
Are you thinking now?

Rainbow's

Author's Note:
I am got this idea by trying to think of an idea and I am going for the voice part of the writing rubric

ROY G BIV
Red orange yellow
Green blue violet
And Indigo

All the different colors
Representin so many things
Like yellow flower power
In the sixties

Or green for
Global warming
Or gray and blue
For thunder storming

And red for roses
That smell real nice
Lastly orange
For gross things like lice

All the possibilities
All the combonations or
I just remembered
Primary colors

You mix blue and red
And get purple
Or yellow and blue
To get green

I know that didn't rhyme
But colors are for fun
Interesting go on
Now this poem is done

Gum

I love gum
It's taste is so clever
I love how you can
Chew forever and ever

It comes in many flavors
In pretty wrappers too
This is my favorite thing
How about maybe you

My fav flavor is berry
No joke it's so good
Lot's of people hear
About it in the neighborhood

The little packs
Of many tastes
Just keep chewing
There's time to waste

That made no sense
I know
I'm not that dumb
You know

Though this will get better
This is no pretend
It's getting really good
LOL THE END!

Did You Know

That Xavier wears eyeliner
Or that Kati likes cupcakes
And Sara likes grapes
And Brett is no fake

Ninja or anything
I am not
Jarod makes origami
And likes tater tots

If my Life Was a Disney Story

Author's Note:
Kati gave me this idea and I thought that it would be cool.  I am touching on the creativity part of the writing rubric.

If my life was a Disney story then I would be a princess and I would make sure that Kati wouldn't be allowed in the universe.  Just kidding.  Though I would make sure that Xavier would have to give me all of his gum.  All of it.  I would make a holiday and call it "Give Natalie Anything She Wants Day", where I got anything that I want all on one day.  Now you may think that, ooh you're a princess you'd get that anyway, but that would be mean.  And I'm not a mean person.  Sara would be my royal jester. She would get a cool hat and everything.  Time to get back to my royal duties.  Bye for now.

Annoying

Author's Note:
I wrote this because my sister annoys me a lot and I needed inspiration for something. I am focusing on voice on the writing rubric.

Poking, tapping,
Shouting, yelling
People keep talking
'bout stuff their selling

Hitting, kicking,
Annoying little
Voices, pesks
Open toys, skittles

All over the
Floor, was clean
Mud feet, and throw-
Up's green

This is all so nasty
All so gross
I have to clean
Up most

How Moon Craters Are Formed

Moon craters come from aliens that just seem to hate the moon.  Myth.  They come from asteroids, meteoroids, and comets.  Since the moon doesn't have an atmosphere the rocks can't be stopped.  Also the moon doesn't have any erosion either, so the craters never go away.  The kind of crater that makes indents are called impact craters. Then there are two kinds of impact craters; simple and complex craters.  There are millions of craters on the moon.  Craters range in size, too. Finally, low elevation areas, or maria, have less craters.


Firstly, let's get one thing straight, moon craters come from asteroids, meteoroids, and comets.  Nothing else.  Period.  Lot's of people mistake craters for erosion.  Though it's not. The moon doesn't even have erosion, since the air is so dry.  Overall the moon is like age, the craters keep coming, like how many years old we are, and they never go away. Since we can't be younger then what we are.


Impact craters are the kind of craters that we normally think of.  Simple impact crate have bowl shaped depressions, mostly with smooth walls.  This type of crater generally has a diameter less than 9 miles. Their depth is about 20% of their diameter.  Complex impact craters have a single or multiple peaks in the middle of the crater.  These craters have diameters between about 12 and 110 miles, and the central uplift is usually one or a few peaks. Craters with a diameter over 110 miles can have more complex, ring-shaped uplifts within the crater.To summarize the craters on the moon can very in size greatly.


Maria, or low elevation areas, have less craters because since they are lower the craters don't have as great of an impact on them.  Also, there are millions of craters on the moon.  The craters most people know are the face on the moon.  It's really just a lot of craters and shadows.  All in all, the moon is very different in landscape, not as much as earth, but still a little.

YUMMY!

Have you ever sunken your teeth into the most dark, rich, mint tasting, light, soft, and YUMMYLICIOUSNESS thing ever?  Well, here's what I think of when I hear this, the chocolate mint fudge at the Milwaukee Public Museum's Old Streets of Wisconsin exhibit Candy Store.  It's so good, it's even on my Christmas list.  The whole, pure, taste, matches the delectable look; light green and dark  brown swirls 360 degrees around the entire piece.  Wrapped in a translucent wrapper showing off the marvelous, extraordinary appeal.

Have you ever seen a shirt, one that when you try it on it fits just right, it's super soft, and it's ON SALE!  Well that's what I think of every time that I even dream of this fine delicacy.  It makes you think of other kinds of amazing food that people in the olden ages had that we don't.  As you can see by now, this isn't just your ordinary fudge, it's heaven in a wrapper.

Jeremiah Donald Frodl the Poem

He is a boy, I hope
Is very short, for fact
Has brown hair, I know
Has a yellow hoodie
That's that

Chuck Norris

Chuck Norris can make Batman cry.  Ever heard one of these?  Well I have one thing to say about this, Chuck Norris is a ninja.  Yep, I said the "n" word.  He is a ninja, that is a fact.  Not an opinion, a fact.  Now, you may think Chuck Norris is a big poser, which he is, but no one has to know that.  (Don't tell him I said that)  Here's a real fact, the reason Chuck Norris became a martial artist is because when he was younger he was physically bullied by his peers.  So in the end he decided to become what we know him as today.  Isn't it weird how things like that happen.  Imagine if you bullied someone when you were young, that person turned into Chuck Norris, and came to your door with an open for anyone round-house kick.  In the end Chuck, or as I like to say, Charles Norris, is the 17th greatest man who ever lived.

Carnivals

Have fun, eat some popcorn
Get scared by carnies, run around
It's time to go home, get in bed
Rest sleep and sound

Five days later, you go back
Ride a ride, do cartwheels
Play some games, and win too
Get a prize, like baby stuffed seals

Find a friend, meet new ones
Buy a soda, and buy them one too
This sounds fun, I like this
How about you?

All the lights, the flashes and fun
See coasters and a Ferris wheel
It all seems loud, and crazy
You think it is a dream it's so surreal

Find your family, take your dad
Go on a ride, make him sick
Go on another one, buckle up
Click click

 It's just so big, so large
And you're so small
So many things to do
All the rides are so tall

The moon comes out
The only light is the shine of it
The beautiful glow, the shine
It beams so bright and then that's it

Africa

For every 1,000 people in South Africa alone, 17 of them die each day!  As startling as it may seem, this is only South Africa.  Imagine multiplying that by 64 to get all of Africa!  People who are more fortunate in, not only America, think that oh, wow, dying starving people.  Well I've never met them, so I'm not going to help.  Even the littlest donations can help.  What if it were you living in basically a tent/box with only little water and almost no food.  Would you want someone to help?  Lot's of people do help, though.  Every year me and some friends go to this organization to package food that goes to different countries in Africa.  Even little things like that will help them.  Here's one last thing you need to know that some people always overlook.  Not all of Africa is in need, some of it is a prosperous, determined community that people don't even think about.   As you can see, Africa is very different depending on where you look.

Going further into the sad part of this, is that even though you might be fortunate enough to have never lost a loved one, if you want to most places in Africa, I can promise that 90% of them would say that they have lost someone in their life.  So now go up to someone, a friend, family member, anyone and tell them that you love them.  You'll be glad you did.

As I said, some people overlook the fact that people are dying.  From AIDS, cancers, and many other diseases. Some people think, they don't know them, so they don't have to donate.  Well I have news for them, that doesn't matter.  You'll know in your heart that you did something right.   Wouldn't that feel so good?  Now you know, go on and tell others, spread the word, save the world!

Life

People don't always say yes, things aren't always fair, and we get to hear answers like life isn't fair, get used to it.  Well what if you never had to hear those words again.  It only takes 7 easy steps to have a somewhat perfect life. 

1. Change your name to Yes.
2. Make everyone call you yesman/woman
3. Make a lot of money
4. Buy out a carnival
5. Hire workers
6. Start a Yesman Fair
7. There you have it, now quit school and be a fair yesman!

Does It Make Sense

Has anyone ever asked you a question that you couldn't answer or do?  Well try this out for size, find 4 or 5 other people and line up alphabetically according to your height. 

Is it hard?  That's what I thought you said. Here's another one.  What does P-O-L-E spell?  What does I-C-E spell?  Now, what do you get when you put them both together?  No, it's not pronounced poh-lice.  It's police, like pah-lee-ss.

Now another one.  How does electricity start?  And why do some people say things use electricity and some say that something is just electric.

How do you say potato?  How do you say tomato?  How do you say Amen?

Confused?  You should be.

My Interview with Kati Kleinhans

Natalie- What's your favorite word?

Kati- Flack

Inspire

Inspiration comes from your heart.  Not your mind, not your stomach, your heart.  That's a fact, because I said so. It creates how everyone lives.  Everyone has a different inspiration.  You might think that near to nothing you do you have to be inspired, but if you weren't inspired from your mom or dad to do your homework, would you? If you weren't inspired to go to school, would you?  You get inspired to make every decision in your life. You may not know it, but you do.  Once you finish reading this, you will be inspired to think about it for a very long time.  In thirty years, somewhere in your dreams or in your head, this will just pop up with something.

Now I know your thinking that I'm messed up for saying this, but I'm not.  I can just about bet that if you don't remember, I'll pay you a million dollars.  Though I can't lose. If you remember I owe you the money, I already win.  As you can see inspiration is just a way of heart, not mind, not stomach, heart.

Xavier

He is a human
Not a cat or bear
Here is one last fact
He has yellow hair

Mitch-al Grinwald

Mitch-al is very tall
and is not an English sir
He has lots of friends
Like yellow haired Xavier
He has dark brown hair
And wears a Nike shirt
He is very stinky
From falling into dirt
In Academy he is
Funny he is maybe
Oh and he's a boy
Not a grown up lady
If you don't get this yet
You don't catch on fast
Though don't worry it's over
And thus it will not last

Kaitlyn Kleinhans--I hope I spelt that right

She is blonde
And is athletic
She is most things
But pathetic
I take that back
Oh she's not short
Though when she laughs
She giggles and snorts
Doesn't like tutus
Or leggings either
When you say them both
She likes neither

Response to Getting Away with Murder the True Story of the Emmet Till Case

I thought that this book was the most interesting, yet disturbing, yet well written book I've ever read!  If you think that you've ever read a book more of one of these then you'd be wrong.  The book was about a 14 year old boy who grew up in Chicago.  He moved to Mississippi later in his life.  While in Chicago he was used to being dared to go talk to "white" people.  Though when he got dared to do the same thing in Mississippi, he ended up murdered. 

The reason that the book is called getting away with it is because, well, you'll have to read the book.  I don't want to give away the ending.  Also, I would only recommend this book to people who have strong stomachs.  Some of the information and pictures are really disturbing.  You may think that I am kidding, but I'm not.  It really does make you think about your life and who you would miss if they left you. 

Overall this book was, as I said, interesting, too!   It gives information on the Civil Rights Movements and other facts of that time period. (1950's)  I highly enjoyed reading this, somewhat, and I hope if you read it, you will too.

Response to 101 Ways to Bug Your Parents

First I want to say that this is not just a list of 101 ways to bug your parents, but a book.  This book was a realistic fiction book about a few kids.  The thing you need to know, is that they all have nicknames made up by Ace, but I'll get to him later.  Sneeze is the main character.  He got his nickname the time he sneezed 137 times without stopping once!  He is also an inventor.  Hiccup is the other, he got his name because whenever he's happy, sad, excited, angry, worried, or any other emotion, he hiccups.  The next is Goldie Laux.  She got her name because she's a snoop, and Goldie lox snooped on the bears.  The next is Pierre.  He always talks with a fake French accent and dreams of becoming a world renounce chef.  Finally Ace.  He's the cool one.  He gives all the nicknames.

The story is about how Sneeze has all these ambitions of going to the Invention Convention with Hiccup, which his parents say is OK.  Then, they cancel the plans and Sneeze has to go to Summer school.  All of his friends bug him about it until they end up there too.  Since, it was last minute they all had to take a writing class.  Thus, the list was born. 

Sneeze started to put together a list of ways to bug his parents since they canceled their plans.  Once he decided that this would be his writing project, people started to say that they would pay big money for this.  Though he thought that they meant the list not expecting it to have to look good. 

This book goes threw all the challenges in life based off a boy who has 12 hour a day working parents, allergies to almost everything, who just broke his best friends nose, dreams of being an inventor, is trying to stay away from a girl, trying to figure our someones last name, and all while trying to make money.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good comedy.  It was an easy type of book though, ( I read it in a day), but very interesting.  I hope you can enjoy it too!

Response to Curse Dark as Gold

I really enjoyed reading A Curse Dark as Gold.  It was a fictional "fairytale" that took many twists and turns.  The characters had completely different personalities and were very interesting.  The book was about a girl whose father just died and her mother died a while ago.  It goes threw all the struggles that they had to face including making a deal with Jack Spinner to get golden thread.The thing I liked the most was that you don't want to put it down after only a few pages like most books.  It relates to times now because of the recession going on.  Other people should read it because it can relate to so many types of people.  Even if you don't normally like fiction, I think that you may like this book.  Finally, the book was intriguing and well written.

Upcakescay

Read this word four times to realize what is really says.  No, it doesn't say Up cakes cay.  It says, wait for it, cupcakes.  I'm not crazy though.  Have you ever heard the words pig Latin?  Well it's a "language" where you cut off the first letter of the word and put it on the end of it then you put an a and a y.  So take cupcake.  Cut off the first letter to get upcake.  Add the c at the end to get upcakec.  And finally add the ay to the end and make upcakescay. Thanks for reading and have a ovelylay day.  Get it ovelyay- lovely?

Song Story

When I grow up  I am going to be a turtle.  A little boy said.  Why are you so obsessed with being a turtle?  His sister wonders.  Fine a be a pilot and fly a G6.  OMG! No way, that dream is mine! OK, I'll be a pro football player.  Why?  'Cause all I do is win, duh.  But paparazzi will fallow you everywhere!  Who needs them?  I'll just whip my hair in my face.  Since I am only 15, I'd think that, that would be a teenage dream.  You're only going to live to be 17 though.  Why?  Because the world's going to end in 2012.  Just work on living longer, life's all about the journey, the life, the climb.  I am going to tell you one time, the world is not going to end in 2012.




THE END!- Inspired by Supermac18's song movie

Have you ever tried to steal it? Have you ever had a friend that schedules in a reading break that doesn't even know how to read? Have you ever had a friend that sings a song that gets on everybody's nerves?  Have you ever had a friend that "lost her purse"?  Have you ever had a friend that does math online and brags about it?   Have you ever had a friend that shoves a cup cake into someone else's soda?  have you ever had a friend that is a ninja?  Have you ever had a friend that starts confessing to a sub teacher when your other friend is repeating "it's my mom, it's just my mom!"  Have you ever had a friend that wore a shirt to school asking if you have a crush on her?   Have you ever had a friend that does a front flip over you and someone else.  have you ever had a friend that has a Swedish pencil?  Have you ever had a friend that doesn't get food at a movie theater? Have you ever had a friend that listens to educational material on CD? Have you ever had a friend that knows how much someone's gravitational pull is to the equator? Have you ever had a friend that takes your shoes while you're on the monkey bars? Have you ever had a friend that licks a cupcake exceptionally slow?  Have you ever had a friend that can shove an entire doughnut in their mouth at once? Have you ever had a friend that does a project on dinosaurs?  Have you ever had a friend that's obsessed with a song for one week and then decide they don't like the next? Have you ever had a friend that stalks you? Have you ever had a friend that's a certified stalker?   Have you ever had a friend?  Hope so!

Deep

The ocean.  My ocean.  A giant mass of greatness, mine.  I think these words as I step onto the patio in our new house.  It's right on the Pacific, with no neighbors for over a mile.  Peace, serenity, quiet.  It's perfect.  The house is not large, it's only one story and two bedrooms.  Though the location is everything.  I walk into my room.  It's the color of the ocean, dark, deep blue.  I fall back on to my bed.  My eyes close.  I relax for what seems like days, but it wasn't, it was about fifteen minutes.  My mother calls me down for dinner, she baked up fresh fish from the ocean, our ocean.  None of us can talk. We're no mad, but we just want to eat the delicious meal, close our eyes, and picture the rest of our lives.  Together, as a family.
