Since I last wrote a blog. I don't know what to write about but I know that I'll think of something. It's a really pretty day today so I decided to wear a dress and for some reason I'm carefree! I'm not a big dress wearer so I think it's weird that I'm happy while wearing one.lol. That may sound really weird but in my head there was logic.
Oh! There's a new movie coming out and I can't wait to see it!! It's called "Beastly" and it's based on the book by Alex Flinn. It looks really intersting and I'm so excited for it. It's a modern day version of "Beauty and the Beast" which is my all time favorite movie ever! I've seen a trailer for this movie and I think it's going to be awesome! As long as I don't read the book first and therefore can't compare them.
Another topic, have you seen the show "Deadliest Warrior"? It is a really cool show. It takes two famous warriors from history (i.e. William WAllace and Shaka Zulu) and their weapons and decides which one will be the better warrior or which one would win in a match up. I really like it because it's comparing different historical times. There's also one where they match up a knight and a pirate. They even do computer similations of an actual fight to see which one would really win. They do the similation a thousand times just to see the many different outcomes. I think it's so cool and I would recommend that everyone watches it atleast once. I don't know when it's on, I just watch it online.
Finals week is almost here! I can't wait to be done with my kinda boring business classes. Sadly, I'll be here this summer taking other boring business classes. It'll be great though. I keep telling myself that in hopes that I might actually start believing it.
Well, that's all I can really think of to write about. I think I mgiht just go back to writing stories. I find them more intersting than random babbling that I do. You can disagree if you want but keep in my mind that that is my own personally opinion.
Later, Brandy

Another unfinished story
Rain puddles were everywhere and, of course, I had to jump in every single one of them. My mom hates it when I do that but i just can't help myself.
I'm about to jump into the biggest puddle I've ever seen when I notice some-
"Mike! Don't you dare jump in that puddle", my mother yells for tehe third time.
"I'm not. I see something shiny" By the look on her face, I know she doesn't believe me. I don't mind though, she hardly ever believes me unless there's proof. I go back to looking at the puddle; there is definitely something shiny, it's something big.
My mom starts to look the other way and I take the opportunity to reach in and grab whatever the item is. Suddenly, I'm sucked into the water. I'm falling towards the shiny object but it's getting bigger and bigger until I realize that I'm falling towards a city. Excitement rushes through me at the chance for an adventure until I notice that I'm about to hit the sidewalk extremely hard. I brace myself and...
Nothing, there's no pain. I open my eyes and realize that I've landed on a mattress which starts to move! Finally I notice that the mattress is in the back of a flat-bed truck. I decided to just take a ride on the truck until I saw more of this new city I had landed in. Four stoplights later, I heard someone yelling at turned to see a couple of officers running towards the very truck I was on. Now seemed about the right time to get off and run.
I ran two blocks before the officers caught up with me. I heard a gunshot and ducked without even thinking. As soon as I hit the ground another shot went off and a huge pain spread through my entire leg and I blacked out.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!!
I had a really great, awesome Christmas break. I didn't really do anything exciting but just being around family is fun in itself. I went to Colorado Springs and hung out with my mom, little sister Becca, and our dog Junior. That first week we didn't really do anything because Becca was still in school but the second week (the week of Christmas) was fun. one of my mom's friends, Dolores, invited us over for lunch one day, we had a delicious casserole. While we were there the church that my mom attends gave Dolores groceries and asked her to give them to us. I love how generous people are. They knew that my mom was struggling financially and they wanted to make sure we had food for Christmas. I love that God works in people's hearts. Well, on Christmas Day I got to make lasagna (my family's part Italian so we have lasagna) and it was delicious. Oh yeah! I forgot to mention the snow. A couple of days before Christmas it snowed and we got to go sledding down our driveway. Junior didn't like the sled and kept trying to bite it every time we got the bottom of the hill. My mom was funny also cause she was afraid that we would sled all the way out into the street and then get hit by a car, so she stood at the bottom of the hill inorder to stop us before we reached the street. It was so funny watching her try to stop us. After that we went to the front of the house and made a snowman (my mom was obsessed with making one). The snowman was interesting because no one in my family has the skills to make a snowman so it ened up being a pile of snow about 2 feet tall with a scarf wrapped around him and buttons for a smile and eyes. He was a cute little snowman. Then Becca decided to put her top hat on him but my mom was worried that it would blow away, instead Becca shaped a hat onto his head and then used food coloring in a spray bottle to color it blue. Then my mom and Becca had a snowball fight while I watched and Junior kept trying to get them to stop. He would run back and forth barking and jumping on them, then he started to eat the snowman!! I was amazed that he didn't get a brain freeze. By this time we were all freezing so we decided to go inside and get warm, yummy hot cocoa.
So the week after that was New Year's week and we had fun then also. One day we woke up really early in the morning and walked to Care and Share Food Bank and volunteered there in the morning. Becca was so funny about it. First she didn't want to go because she didn't want to walk, then when we were ready to leave for home she didn't want to stop volunteering. The mind of a 12 almost 13 year old. Those were about the most exciting things we did all break and now I can't think of anything else to talk about. So, that's all for now.

Aaahhhh.... Thanksgiving
Are you ready for some turkey?!?!?! I certainly am. I know that I've mostly written stories in my past blogs but I thought I'd do something different. Sadly, I don't know what to do differently. Maybe I'll just continue to write until I think of something. I can't wait for Thanksgiving!! I want a home cooked meal and not have to have my ID swiped for it. My family doesn't really do anything exciting but it's still really fun. We'll watch Macy's parade until the food is all ready and then we'll eat. After dessert we play games or just relax. It's really fun. My grandma will probably invite some people from church who don't have family in Phx. She likes having company and nobody should be alone on Tahnksgiving (you thought I was gonna say Christmas didn't you?). Oh, random fact: did you know that desserts spelled backwards is stressed. I thought that really funny. I first realized that when I read it in a comic strip. It was Thanksgiving and this lady ws stressing out about all the desserts she had to make. Her dog and cat were looking at her. Suddenly, the dog turns to the cat and whispers "desserts spelled backwards is stressed". I thought that was pretty interesting. Okay, well I can't think of anythign else to write about. So, that's all folks (think of Prokie Pig when reading that).

Pirate-ness
So, this one I wrote while I was suppose to be writing one of my essays.
It's been four days now and the snow just keeps coming. Our ship has been frozen at port and the captain is eager to set sail again. He has restless legs and dislikes the idea of staying too long in a city that we frequently visit. Too many people know who we truly are and lips loosen after a tasty pint. The captain put us all at risk when he decided to dock here. I feared that I was the only one who sensed something and felt the need to tell the crew but nobody listens to the cabin boy.
I don't particularly enjoy being at port. As the youngest amd smallest, the captain feels that I would be less conspicuous and therefore I am sent on all the errands. of course this involves going out in the snow, a task that I am not very fond of doing. However, there is one small perk to having to run all the errands and that is-.
"Cabin boy!", bellows the captain,"go check onthe ship and sure there's no cracks, for if there is then it'll be your head". These threats aren't so rare to me but I know the captain will be good on his word. I strap on the little leather bags that are supposedly my shoes and take off out the door. I don't have the pleasure in owning a coat and must run to stay warm.
I quickly make it to the ship and rapidly check for cracks. The captain and I both know that cracks aren't likely to be found; he just doesn't trust me and wants me gone while he counts his diminishing treasure.
I hurriedly finish and as I head back, am able to enjoy this errand finally. I turn the corner and look up. There she sits in her window, the most beautiful being in all the earth. Ruby red lips, blond wavy hair, and piercing sapphire eyes. Every time we would land at this port, I would find and just watch. Sadly, I could never do anything since I am associated with pirates and she is the Governor's daughter. I realize that I've dawdled too long. I start to leave when suddenly I'm surrounded by the Royal Navy.
"You are under arrest", someone behind me says. I feel a sharp pain behind my ear and then darkness.

"In the dead of night..."
This was a free write for my english class. She gaves the first sentence and then we had to continue it.
In the dead of night I was hiding under the couch. My older siblings and I had decided to watch a scary movie; unknowest to me, they all planned a very mean trick. I'm not a fan of scary movies so it was easy for them to play this trick.
The movie was about some siblings that stay at home alone. It's almost morning when the youngest finds all the others dead. After the movie, all my siblings ran out of the room; I was starting to get suspicious. Suddenly, noises are sounding all around the house, the same noises that were in the movie. I, not knowing what I was thinking, go look around the house still suspecting my siblings.
In every room one of my siblings is lying in a mutilated way. I'm not really convinced, except maybe the real looking blood, until I come to the last room. There, standing in the middle of the room, was a huge man in a trench coat holding a bloody knife. He comes running towards me. This is why I was hiding under the couch in the dead of night.

My interesting Saturday!!!
Here's how yesterday(Saturday) went for me. I got up at 7 a.m. not knowing what to do. So I went outside and there was this huge dragon that was about to roast this wimpy guy (he was crying). I run up to the dragon and yell "hey, guys don't taste good so you shouldn't eat him. You'll get a stomachache" and the dragon says "there is nothing else and I haven't eaten in a month". Then I tell him that there's a cafeteria right over there. He drops the guy, says thanks and goes to raid the cafe. The guy gets up and is about to say thanks when he spontaneously combusts. As he's rolling on the ground trying to stop the flames I just walk away thinking he should have said thanks before he blew up.
Then I go to the north side of campus and an alien ship lands right on top of the math building. I know that I should be scared but I'm so happy thinking there's no more math class. YAY!!! Then this alien steps out of the ship walks right up to me and says (in klingon which I happen to know) "Take me to the smartest, beautifullest person here" I say "I'm right here". Then the alien picks me and takes me into the ship where the aliens make me queen. It's fun and games until they try to sacrifice me. I pull out my numchucks (bet you can't guess where I was hiding those) and start beating off the aliens. I accidentally push a button and I drop straight down back onto earth.
This would be great if I was dropped in Flagstaff but no I'm in Buttcrack, Wisconsin where everyone thinks I'm an alien. I have to run from the FBI and the people from Area 51. Suddenly, I realize that I'm hungry (haven't had lunch yet) so I decide to use the idea that I'm an alien to my advantage. I went into Wendy's and said "I'm an alien give me a baconator" cause those things are good.
Finally, I make it back to Flagstaff by hoping 4 trains and an airplane (that was fun). When I get back to my dorm room, I remember that I have homework so I go to the computer lab to get it done. As soon as I login to the computer it fries out as do all the other computers. The lab techinicians say "all the computers in the world blew up therefore you don't have to do your homework until we get the problem fixed. Just tell us who your teachers are and we'll write to them telling them what's going on". I couldn't believe it. My luck was with me today. Thinking that I decided to go buy a lottery ticket hoping that I could win. I bought the thing and heard the numbers. Guess wat? I didn't win. That got me pissed so I decided to go to bed. Sadly, before I could go to bed I had to take a shower but there was no hot water. Cause I was so pissed off, I ripped out the wall and did some fancy plumbing (to be a plumber you just gotta show the crack) and got hot water. That put me in a little better of a mood but I was still mad. I wanted to win the lottery.
Realizing that I can't go to bed mad, I stay up and plot my revenge. that's always a better idea than going to bed mad. I decide to burn down the lottery selction place. Doing a tom of research I discover where that building is located. A place called Hickville, Georgia. Hoping 3 boats, a moped, and an airplane. I make it there in time for the next drawing. I knew that I wanted to burn down the building but not the people in it so I wait til midnight. After everyone (including cleaning crew) has left I light up the place. It's very pretty actually. I stand there for half an hour and finally notice that the fire department wasn't coming. That blows. A place that popular should get some media coverage. Depressed, I walk back to Flagstaff and make it in time to go to my classes monday morning (except math of course). I'll probably have another day close to this seeing as how I live close to Route 66.
