Days of School

Sick Days Are Days With Time

Ahoy mateys. You would have thought that the blasted scurvy was upon me! But I still be alive. Oo! It feels like a thousand swords in me throat and me neck in an iron brace. I'm also lead to believe that some foul being has clubbed me noggin too. Ah, but that be no way of talkin' when I feel like I have struck gold! Aye, this pretty pirate is grand when she bares a belt of royal purple from the ship of Taekwondo, level 5 in rank. There be more treasure under me sails, aye, I sailed to far off ports (cities) to writers conferences and returned with plunder: two cards from a publishing agent and a magazine editor. Me tales will not be flounderin' for much longer. Once I be a finishin' one, it'll be bound and shipped out to be read by many. This be me treasure.

Arggg! This blasted throat be a killin' me! Well mates, looks like I have to ship out and get some rest. I'll be a seein' ya soon with more tales of my adventures.

Long Gone

There is no explanation,
For how long I've been gone.
With no insperation,
The days can be long.

Tapped under assignments,
day in and day out.
To suffer from the anoyment
Of work, there is no dout.

To escape from the world,
That is my game.
To go to the world of words,
That is my name.

Poetry is not my thing,
But when it comes,
I enjoy anything
With open arms.

A nose buried in books,
A hand busy as a bee.
Writings have many hooks,
Ones that capture me.

I will not loose control,
When days are long.
They won't take my sole,
Life doesn't go wrong.

People find their path,
And mine is a gift.
I will make them laugh,
Like books gave me lift.

I won't loose my dream,
And I won't let go.
For I have been deamed,
A writer without foe.

I know it's a little wierd but that all that came to my mind. Sorry about not blogging in a long time.
That's it for now,
Captain Redwallwindow

Ekk! So Much to Share - So Little Space to Tell It All

Ahoy there mateys! What do I have to say for myself? I haven't command me ship in over three mouths and all I can say is busy?!?! Well here is a list of what I've been up to and what not.
1. I tested and received my Orange Belt in Taekwondo.
2. Recovered from a sprained ankle (that wasn’t fun)
3. Passed the first semester of US History *gags*
4. Bought my vary first iPod about a month ago
5. Bought iTunes for the vary first time the other DAY
6. Gone to see National Treasure 2: The Book of Secrets and August Rush (awesome movie!) in theater
7. Celebrated Hanukkah. My coolest gift was my Class Ring. It has a starburst-cut amethyst stone with two glass diamonds on either side of it followed by my initials, one side of my ring has the word "Pirates" with a 4H clover under it, and on the other side is the name of my homeschool with a Star of David on a menorah under it. I LOVE my ring and don't take it off unless I'm sleeping or in the shower.
8. I'm going insane with a novel idea that needs to be completely planned out before I start writing it
9. And driving a lot in order to get my licenses.
YEAH! I've been BUSY!!!!

Everything: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyheJ480LYA
I was sent this youtube video by a friend and it is vary touching.  It's a Lifehouse Everything Skit showing how much God loves us no matter how far we fall. I've watched it several times now, but I still cry at the end, knowing that both God and Jesus are always there to love and pick me up again. It is a wonderful video and I think everyone should watch it.
I hope everyone had a wonderful a Holiday and will have a Happy New Year! I know I will. Until later mates!

Long time no see

Reclaimed and, As Ever, Busy

Look out friends, I have returned and reclaiming my ship! For one, I thank every blogger who has left behind their well wishes for my 17th year. I still have to get used to the fact that I'm 17 and not 16! Anyways, as I have said already, I'm back and with a new style of writing as well as new events I'm taking part in.

The High Country Federation has taken me captive more than once this semester and I have attempted many escapades only to be caught and thrown to the teeth of what they call homework (though I personally think it is sharks made from paper). 
Captain Davis of the vessel "U.S. History", seems to make her debts (homework) of the crew somewhat enjoyable, but one does believe that one is in over one’s head! She has arranged the crew into to two groups for a debate. I'm in charge of my little band, and they seem to look to me for everything, but I know they have it in them to stand firm and do their part. 
Kindly Kahar's (pronounced: car) debts are few. Her ship, the "Health and CPR", is enjoyable but one mustn't loose focus. Last week, Captain Kahar gave the crew an open book review followed by a pop quiz. If the crew got a 100%, she said our reward would be our choice of pop because it was a pop quiz. I'm hope to receive my personal favorite: Rootbeer!
Then there is Magnificent Montel, mistress and captain of the "Theatre Performance”, a friend of mine with hardly any debts of her crew. If you ask me, I think her ship is more of a cruise than the privateer vessel that it is. We are putting one a play called I Never Saw Another Butterfly at the end of the semester. It is a Holocaust play and a sad one at that, but I find it a treasure of the world among other plays. The crew is in a time of waiting, a time of auditions, to see what role we will take on in this voyage.

Other than my debts/homework for the High Country Federation, I do enjoy my voyage on the TaeKwonDo. Master Kunkle is ever watchful of her apprentices and gives us a lot of praise. Last week, I tested and was able to rise in rank, from White to Yellow sash (I mean belt). I was so excited! I can’t wait until I sail to Port Dojawn (TaeKwonDo School) and meet the rest of my mates after our rank testing for a new voyage.

I must leave you my fellow bloggers and comrades. I salute you all with my sword and may the wind be in your sails. Weigh anchor, matties!

Har! Har! Har!

What I've been up to!

Yeah, Yeah, I know I haven't up dated in a like... a MONTH! Well now I am. Busy days, lazy day, forget to blog days...  it goes on.  Well here's what I have and am up to these days.

Last month, I had one of the best days ever in my life! On June 6th,  I got to spend the day with my Aunt (pronounce the au like the o in pond). Yes, there is a difference between aunt and aunt. Anyways, I spent the day with her and had a blast. First of all, I got my hair cut (which was the reason for the whole outing) and now it's bouncy and just past my shoulders! Second, I got a new wardrobe (FUN!). And third and best,  I got to go see POTC 3: At World's End with my family in the evening! I had one giant grin plastered on my face! I was so enjoying the day!

I started up TaeKwonDo again! I go to the Dojawn (TaeKwonDo school) and do so twice a week, now! I have received two more stripes for my white belt, yellow for Community Service and red for my Self Defense. In total I have four stripes now. I can't wait for testing day so I can become a yellow belt. I'm so excited!
Oh in TaeKownDo this week, when we were working on our Self Defense, my partner forgot to attack me with a straight punch and as I was jumping out of the way, his arm followed and caught me on the side of my eye! It wasn't a serious one, but it wasn't a light tap either. It's just enough to make the side of my head tingle a bit.

My mom is making me her Shaffer to get in driving hours so I can get my license on my birthday. I'm getting more practice in and getting more comfortable in the car so I'm slowly getting better.

Well I that's all I have for now,
~redwallwindow~

OK!!! I'm Up Dating!!!

Greeting Bloggers! Yeah I know it's been over two months since I last blogged. Ok you guys, you can give me a lecher for not updating sooner. I give you the permission to do so. Everyone knows my answer to why I haven't blogged in forever... I've been busy like always. This time I have good reason to say that to.

The last weeks of High Country were a mess. In my Middle East class (M.E.C.) before the last day of classes, I had a paper due practically each week for four weeks straight! My mock Peace Summit was a blast and Team Palestine (my team) WON! Our teacher almost chewed out Team Israel for some of the terms they agreed to in the Peace Treaty from Palestine's side. I SO HAPPY THAT CLASS IS DONE NOW!
In TaeKwonDo, we had two snow weeks off so I couldn't test for my Yellow Belt on the last day of High Country, but my teacher said we're going to be training at the Dojang (TaeKwonDo School) soon and so we can be tested there. I might be taking TaeKwonDo at the Dojang over the summer, which will be nice.
Theater Performance was great on the last day; because that was the day we go to put on the play. Ohh... That was so much fun! Though I must say that sweating under pillows for a half an hour on stage is no picnic, but the rest of it was awesome!! I only missed one of my cues and that was it. I loved that class and I'm trying to convince my mom to let me take it again in the coming fall.

I had to get oral surgery a few week ago on a Tuesday morning to get all of my wisdom teeth cut out. Not pulled, CUT out! They all were impacted and weren't breaking though the skin. I couldn’t eat anything really solid right for a while (which dove me crazy), but have recovered and can eat anything I want again!

Oh, be sure to take the poll on my side bar. I haven’t seen “Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End” yet and I really want to! If any of you have seen it, DON’T TELL ME ANYTHING!!! The only thing you can tell me (If you want to say any thing) if you have seen it is what you think of it.

Well that's all I have for now. I'll try to stay updated more now that things are winding down in my life.
