Rachel...

the KlUtZ. 


That's right. Go ahead and laugh. I'm clumsy. Well I've never been exactly, well, graceful. Like in ballet when I was 7?

Yah... I had to drop out.

But I do still play soccer.

pic of RJ giving the "camera" a thumbs up! while running and kicking the ball.

I am actually good at that.

Well,

sorta.

I was in a big tournament a few days ago. My team was losing by a point and really needed a shot to tie up the game.

Suddenly, CC (yes, she is on my team) passed me the ball.

How could I get it to the goal? There were opponents all around me.

Suddenly, I saw my opportunity.

I realized: Thi was it. This was my chance.

I took the chance I had to make. I ran for that small opening with all my might. But I soon noticed I had a problem. There was an enemy coming right at me.

They were right beside me! Then the challenging part began.

The brown team member slammed into me!

I shoved that jerk right back, hoping to knock her down.

But she knocked me right back.

I fell on my thumb and bent it back.

I lay on the ground in excruciating pain, writhing.

pic of that.

They finally carried me off the field and then I blanked out.

~~~

When I regained control of my senses, they told me my thumb was sprained. Thank God it wasn't broken.

But I can't play soccer for awhile.



Oh, and did I mention? I am such a klutz.

It gave my friends and I something to laugh about, though.

Haha! Anyway, thanks from your time,

A Bad Behavior Day

It's the beginning of the school year, and this week we go over the rules. There are many, many, many, rules. And they they're worded so very rudely.

With rules like these, there will ever be a revolution.

Anyway, I'd never break any of these rules in real life, but I really would like to tell the authority what I think of their rules.

Rule 1:

"You may not leave the school grounds before [the] dismissal time without checking out through the office."

Rule 2:

Be at class on time.

Rule 3:

"[In the food line] don't yell or shout while making an order."

Rule 4:

"Do not cut in line"

Rule 5:

Clean up after yourself

Rule 6:

Do not use any wheeled devices to get around school.

Rule 7:

No cheating.

Rule 8:

No loitering.

Rule 9:

Don't chew gum, throw food, or use electronics.

Rule 10:

Don't wear inappropriate clothing.

Rule 11:

Don't be defiant.

Rule 12:

"[P]ictures cannot be taken of other students during the school day."

Rule 13:

Don't bring medication or weapons to school.

Rule 14:

Do not commit sexual harassment.

Rule 15:

Do not steal.

Ect., ect.

There are many more, but the one that really irks me is this:

"All school staff members are in a position of authority on campus and in any school related activity. Direct challenges... toward a staff member will result in disciplinary action... disciplinary action could result in arrest and possible expulsion..."

I under stand why we have the rules and all, but to not be able to stand up for one's self in disagreement of the authority? I believe everyone should have that right.

Anyway, tell me what you think in a comment.

PS: I would never do those things.  I don't even want to.

SLAP!

This is one of the first posts I've composed; I completely forgot about it! I thought you'd like to see the comparison from then to now.

Nicole, one of my closest friends, used to be very violent back in 6th grade.

Here is a bit of her story:

Josh was her worst enemy. So when she got mad at him, she hit him. This particular time, she hit him on the face.

She then proceeded to tell him he was not "man enough" to hit her back.

But he thought differently.

She was slapped across the face. She was surprised, but did confirm Josh was a man.

CC and I just thought it was hilarious.

Conner's Dream Vacation

Dog attacked
Scary catfish
Mom gets appendix removed.
Remote mountain lake 7hours from his home.


So Conner went on a fantastic vacation at Lake Tahoe! And he just had a fabulous time!

First, he took his dogs for a walk.

Pic of him walking his small dogs (2), happily and cheerily.

But then, something happened.

Pic of a evil mutt running towards the small dog.


pic of the mutt picking up the small dog and shaking her back and forth (speed blur line things) 

The other dog tried to save his sister:


pic of the small dog trailing his leash running to the rescue and biting the other dog.

The mutt's owner did nothing, but Conner managed to get the evil dog off his puppy.

She was a mess, the poor little dog. She was rushed ASAP to the hospital, where they shaved her and gave her stitches, where necessary.

But that didn't ruin the vacation! Nope. They still had fun riding the boats and bird watching.

pic of a duck flapping (like this)


pic of just duck head.


pic of just ripples. Other ducks are unfazed.


repeat. the last 3 pics, except w/ diff ducks.

The happy bird-watching family were very upset. The youngest daughter was put to tears.


pic of family frowning and the kid crying. Conner looks like, "woah that was super cool!"

Then, suddenly, something happened:

pic of a huge catfish leaping out of the water (HUGE) looks like this, except a cat fish



But still, a second traumatic experience didn't ruin the lovely Tahoe vacation.

But then, something happened.

Conner's mom began feeling excruciating pain in her stomach


pic of her bending over in pain. 

Soon the pain got so bad, she had to go the the hosital.

pic of ambulance men carrying her on a stretcheer into a van.

The doctor told the family that she needed to get her appendix removed and promptly gave her surgery.

Conner's family decided it was time to leave Tahoe.

They left as soon as she was let out of the hospital.

What was your best/worst vacation like? Tell me! Leave a comment!
