Favorite Quotes: Love Never Fails

I have decided for the first six weeks all my random posts from here on out will be about my favorite quotes and what they mean to me in life. This week is all about love....I am in love so its gonna be about love :) <3

Love Never Fails 8/31/2012 http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5UMHccNsmA8/TVi_VGHnxNI/AAAAAAAALjI/nyJXfukA-NY/s1600/mp_love_never_fails-web.jpg 
This quote is among my favorites because well for one Jesus said it in the Bible, and the fact that no matter what if you truly love somebody then your love for each other will never fail and you will find ways to be together if you really are serious. I am in this very situation and it pains me when I can't see him like I want to because he works and volunteers as a firefighter =, but we find ways to make everything work.

I love this quote because if you fall in love with your best friend well it just seems a little easier. They already know everything good and bad a bout you so you have a closeness with them that no one can break apart.

I love love and I love quotes about it. I think this would be the easiest thing to talk about so i am :)


A Little Brown Dog

This week in class we read a really sad story called A Little Brown Dog. This story almost made me cry as I read how the little dog was first beaten by his soon to be owner and then abused by the little boys' dad. The puppy was so forgiving of his new family that it cost him his life on a very sad day. The little boys father happened to be an abusive drunk and he would kick the dog around the house like a rug. The day the poor puppy got killed the father had kicked it, beaten it, and then he through it out a five story high window.

As an avid animal lover this story broke my heart. At home I have had three cats, two frogs, fish, and the newest member to our little family, a bearded dragon named Godzilla until we can figure out if it's a boy or a girl.

Animals should not be treated like they are nothing. They love without being able to talk to or get to know you before you get them. They love you almost instantly because they want someone to love them back.

Having a pet is good for you in many ways. They help you learn responsibility, calm your nerves when you are angry, and just give you a companion if you live alone. I had to become very responsible when I got my first little kitty, named Summerville after the town I was born in but now we just called he Leeta. Even though I was just a baby when I got her Momma still had me try and feed her, although sometimes I would eat the food myself....but hey I was three I didn't know it tasted yucky. When I'm home alone Leeta will come sit with me on my bed and just purr and fall asleep because she doesn't want either of us to be alone.

Am I Blue?

This week I am reading Am I Blue? The book is a collection of stories about being gay, lesbian, and the many other things you could be. Most of the stories talk about people who are afraid to come out or bullied because they are out. A lot of friends I have are gay or tired to be gay in the past. I don't judge them because of this I just seem them for who they are and they are amazing. People shouldn't be bullied because they are different than other people.

My favorite short story from the book is by Bruce Coville. It's about a kid who hasn't told anyone he's gay yet and gets beaten up when he does. He then gets a Fairy Godfather who died from being beaten up because he was gay. The Fairy Godfather turns everyone that is gay blue. Almost everyone they see has some type of blue tint to them. He then sees that its okay to be different and accepts himself for who he is.

I think it is important to love yourself for who you are and not to neglect telling people about yourself.Being yourself is the best thing you could do right now because this time is really when people will learn to like you for who you are not what you act like.

Some people in our class right now are having trouble getting this through their heads. They act so rude and basically bully everyone that isn't in their clique. I mean like seriously grow up and get out of middle school and act like you have some sense. Sometimes I seriously wonder about these people and what made them so rude to people. That connot be seriously how they act in real life around their parents.

Its important for you to be simply you and not worry about pleasing anyone, people will love you for who you are.

I read


This week I finished The Hunger Games. This series is quite possibly my FAVORITE series ever! I may say that about every book or series I read but this time I'm serious. The book is about two teenagers who are thrown into a bloodbath. Throughout the book Katniss and Peeta, the main characters, are the star crossed lovers as every book has and they have to make it out alive, but there' a catch....only one person is allowed out alive. The sadistic people who came up with these Games decide the Katniss and Peeta must come out alive together. I believe this book deals with a lot of issue in today’s world. The government over all the Districts is much like a dictatorship. There are 12 Districts, they range from the rich of the rich to the poorest of the poor. District 12 is the poorest district of all. Sometimes they fall victim for nothing, they are scapegoats for everything that happens almost. I ee them much like the Jews in World War II. Hitler made it seem like the Jews were to blame for everything, and in many ways the citizens of District 12 are treated the same way. I love this book because it is the perfect mix of love, action, a community coming together to help out people that live there, and friendship. Along the way many old friends become better friends and new friends get introduced. Although many friends are killed because that is the context of the games they are not forgotten by Katniss and Peeta. I think this book is amazing for all ages to read although it is a little scary at some parts. *WARNING* Do NOT watch the movie first before reading the book you will miss out on very good things!!

In Class

Not much has happened in class this week because it was the first week of school. Right now the class I like the most is Algebra II. The teacher in Algebra is awesome and she really tries to help you understand things. A lot of times I suck at math but this year I really think I might do good this year. Thi definately makes me very very happy. I think I will do good in math because our class is small so we haave more one on one teacher time.

 A lot of times I find myself looking at math like this:

I believe now math might be one of my favorite subjects to learn. I would have never said that in a million years before! This blog is really really hard to write because not much has happened this week. I'm not sure how I will be able to get three hundred word in this...

Planet Earth is Fed Up! (We Read)

The article we read in class today was birdbrained in many ways. It was about humanity mistreating the Earth. The Earth in turn tried to kill some of the people living here with natural disasters hoping people would get the hint and leave. I will review some of the very silly things the Earth told us.


"I haven't exactly been subtle about it, you realize. I have literally tried to drown you, crush you, starve you, dehydrate you, pump you full of diseases, and suck your homes and families into swirling vortices of death. Honestly, what more is it going to take for you people to get the message?"
 
The quote above is by the Earth, I believe the Earth is saying I've done all these horrible things to you but yet you still don't leave. In this case the Earth is almost abusing us with natural disasters as pay back for us abusing us. This is silly because, of course the Earth doesn't intentionally send natural disasters to harm us. Natural disasters are almost random although they do have seasons.


"I know your species has developed the technology to leave me, I've seen you use it before, so I'm asking you now, please, just take the hint already,"..."trundle off to some other biosphere for a while." "You can't possibly be enjoying this, can you? Honestly, you would have to be completely deranged or masochistic to continue staying here."
 
Yet another quote has been made by Earth urging us to just get off! The Earth is trying to talk to us which is very childish in this story. Everybody knows the Earth cannot talk to us at all.

I hope my blog has enlightened you on this very stupid story because I was lost in it very much.

Who I Am

Who am I you may ask well I am just plain and simple me. I love music, baking, reading, and spending time with my friends. I also love to post random pictures and other things about the way I may be feeling that day. I'm 15 and I come from a little town in South Carolina called Summerville. I love visiting the south every year for the summer or holidays. Most of who I am comes from being with family down there. But, when I'm not with family I am goofing off with my crazy friends.

My best friend, well shes really like my unbiological sister, is Susan. She'll be a Junior at North Gaston soon and we are joined at the hip. We love to go fourwheeling together, shop, hang out at football games, and goof off with our church youth group.

I'm an avid reader, my favorite kind of books are teen fiction and of course anything that deals with a love story. By far my favorite book is Romiette and Julio, the book is a teen version of the classic Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare. I have loved to read since I could really, I taught myself how to read the book Goodnight Moon at the age of three and have loved books ever since.



I want to be a business owner when I get older. I hope to go on from the Early College program and get a business and culinary arts degree. The baking side of me really came from my grandma, on Thanksgiving and Christmas we're always in the kitchen baking. One of my favorites we make is a Nilla Wafer Cake, which is by far the heaviest cake in all the world.



I always have headphones in my ears. I am also forever getting in trouble because I listen to music way too much and to my moms standards it's way too loud. Music is something I get from my daddy, he always would listen to music around me so I grew to love it. He introduced me to a lot of bands like The Beatles, Bon Jovi, Aerosmith, well basically all the rock bands of the 80's and a couple of 60's bands too. Music helps me drown out the world somedays, tell what my mood is the, next but most of all just lets me relax.
