the sea dwellers (chapter 6)

 June 14, 2010

   I wake up to a ringing noise, only to find that it is my alarm clock. Nora and Melanie are next to me, shaking me awake. ''Wake up, Anna,'' Nora screams at the top of her lungs. I nudge Nora hard in the ribs. 

   I sneak a peek at the clock and find that it is already lunchtime! I had slept in so late! I scurry down to lunch with Nora and Melanie. Rosemarie is having lunch with us. She has brought her baby sister, Adrienne. Adrienne is only a year old, and the cutest sea dweller ever! I snuggle with her, then eat up my lunch. 

   After lunch, I go to the house next door, wearing a disguise so I won't be recognized. We are supposed to have new neighbors. I can't wait to see what they are like!

On the doorstep of that house, I am greeted by a woman who looks like Lulu Cuckoldry from the concert. I know that she is Evaporata, the witch, but I don't say anything. I don't want her to find out my real identity. 

    ''Hi! I'm Katy from across the street. I'm your new neighbor. You must be Lulu Cuckoldry. I heard you sing at the concert,'' I say, making up the name of Katy so she won't know who I am. [It's hard ruling the entire sea and being so popular!] 

    ''Why thank you, Katy dear! I am a professional singer, so I have a lot of fans just like you! Won't you please come inside? I hope you like my house. It's a mess, but that's because I just moved in,'' she says. 

     I follow Evaporata into her house. Boxes are everywhere. I ask if I can look around, and she says that I can. 

I enter what seems to be a storage room and find a lot of things, including a book on hypnotism and an evil-looking contraption, a ray-gun which says ''Destroyatron'' on it. I also find X-ray goggles. I know that they were exactly what I needed for my really big plan, but I couldn't launch it without the help of Melanie and Nora. 

     I glance at a clock, and notice that it is lunchtime. I tell Evaporata that I will be back and bring my sisters. 

     I go back home and tel my sisters about the plan. They make up names and agree to help out. We eat our lunches, then go to Evaporata's house again.

     ''Why hello Katy,'' Evaporata says. '' I see you have brought your sisters! Will you two introduce yourselves?

      ''I'm Elizabeth and this is Shelly,'' says Nora. Apparently, she made up the name of Elizabeth and Melanie made up the name Shelly. 

     Evaporata invites us all inside. Once she goes back to whatever she was doing, I take Nora and Melanie and take them to the room which I was in. We find the goggles, the hypnotism book, and the evil ray-gun which says ''Destroyatron'' on it. Then, I whisper a plan in each of their ears. Nora and Melanie grin and agree to my  ''genius'' plan. 

      We put the plan into action. Nora rushes into Evaporata's living room. She taps the witch on the shoulder. 

     '' Ms. Cuckoldry, '' she says, smiling sweetly. ''There's this super-cool looking gadget in a room in your house, and can you pleeeease tell me all about it?'' Evaporata is charmed into taking Nora into the storage room, where Melanie and I are hiding. Melanie is reading about hypnotism, and I am wearing the X-ray goggles and studying the evil ray-gun which says ''Destroyatron'' on it. I look at each circuit carefully, deciding which ones gad the most significance. Those circuits are the ones I want the witch to destroy! 

    Melanie gives me a secret signal, a poke in the ribs, and I poke her back. Nora and the witch are entering! I whisper something about the main circuits in the evil ray-gun which says ''Destroyatron'' on it to Melanie, and she takes notes about them. She looks at the hypnotism book to refresh her memory on how to hypnotize people [or sea dwellers]. 

     The witch opens the door. Nora is right beside her. Melanie casually walks out and says,''Hello, Ms. Cuckoldry! I've been waiting for you all this time. Won't you sit down, so I can ask you about yourself? I'm doing a career report for my summer school, and I decided to interview a famous singer like you. 

     Evaporata sits down in a chair, and Melanie sits down next to her. Melanie starts out by asking normal interview questions so Evaporata won't get suspicious. Then, once the witch is relaxed, Melanie begins with the hypnotism. She manages to get Evaporata to go over to her ''Destroyatron'' and blow the most important circuits, while Nora and I take pictures and videos to show the public. 

     Melanie gets Evaporata back to normal, and Nora sets up a video camera on a tripod. I count to three very quietly. Once I say ''three'', we rip off our disguises. ''You are defeated, Evaporata Landlubber!'' we scream in unison. So far, things are going exactly according to my plans!

     ''Not so fast, Princesses of the Sea!'' shouts Evaporata. She goes to her ''Destroyatron'' and presses the ''target lock'' button. Thinking that it still works, she presses the ''fire'' button. She looks puzzled when nothing seems to happen. She looks inside it and finds that she blew some circuits. Whe tries to fix them, but Melanie and I set things up so that whenever she fixes a circuit, another one will get blown. While the witch fumbles ofver the circuits, the three of us gather the cameras and escape to Rosemarie's house, the last place the witch would expect us to be. 

       At Rosemarie's house, we have a hearty dinner and show off our videos and pictures. Nora takes our tape and puts it in Rosemarie's VCR player. We all laugh at the part when Melanie hypnotizes the witch. Then, we take our footage to the Sea Dweller Police Force Headquarters [or the SDPFH]. They watch our video and examine the pictures, then call the local TV station. Soon, we see our video on the late-night news. We are so pleased with ourselves! 

     While I watch our video on the news, I feel my heart swell up with pride. Everyone has to fit in somewhere, and I know I fit in the very best when I am underwater, even if I hadn't lived all my life there.

 

the sea dwellers (chapter 5)

June 13, 2010

     Nora is shaking me awake. I swim right out of my chair and into the Seafarer. Did I mention that today is my birthday? No one seems to know! I drive to Rosemarie's house. I got her address during the concert. Her house looks like mine, so small and old that it hardly is a house.

    We play for sometime, until Rosemarie's mom calls us in for breakfast. We eat our waffles with maple syrup, then we read magazines in Rosemarie's room. My favorite is Sea Life for Girls. 

      Rosemarie asks me to drive her to my home. I can't find it! All I see where my rundown hut stood is a huge castle, like the one I saw on the day I arrived. The only difference is that it's huger! I go inside it, hoping that friendly people live in it. When I knock on the door, I see Melanie opening it. ''Surprise, Anna!'' she yells.

      I ask her about the castle, but she just smiles mysteriously and tells me to go inside. In the castle, I see all of our family, and Rosemarie's family too. Melanie explains that we are actually Princesses of the Sea. She means not only the Sea of Secrets, but every body of water in the world. There are also mermaids in the castle, and they are our servants.

     ''Why didn't we have a castle before?'' I ask Nora and Melanie. They say that the castle I saw when I arrived was actually the witch's castle. The witch's name is not Lulu Cuckoldry. No one knows her true name. She might grow back, after I attacked her in the concert, and become even stronger! Once I defeated her, the witch's castle became a hut and our hut became a castle! It took some time for the magic to take effect, however.

      I remember a thought that I had at the concert hall: Why couldn't she kidnap a princess instead? She actually did kidnap a princess. In fact, she kidnapped two princesses. I remember another thought that I had: Why couldn't she hold the princess for a huge ransom?  She was not interested in the money, but the power and the magic. Once she kidnapped us, our family wouldn't be as powerful, leaving her to take some of our power to use for her dark magic. Still, one question remained in my mind: Why didn't she kidnap Melanie? Maybe Melanie was away while Nora and I were kidnapped.

     We have my birthday party at the castle which we now live in. Despite the fact that I'm a princess now, it's just an average party. It turns out that Rosemarie's mom is a countess and her dad is a count. Nora, Melanie, and I also get crowns.

    Just then, and evil laugh comes from outside. My heart skips a beat. Is it that witch, grown back stronger? I open the door and see Wiley Rockaround and Rob Lamebrain, the two jerks from school, outside. They are wearing scuba diving gear. I see a card on the sea floor next to them. It says:

Evaporata  Landlubber

Evil Witch

Mission: Kidnap Princesses of the Sea

     I pick up the card. Wiley says to Rob, ''We found Atlantis and there are mermaids living there!'' I reply,''This is NOT Atlantis and I am NOT a mermaid. My name is Anna Swimmerwell, Princess of the Sea. Who are you and what do your want?'' I know who they are, but don't want to show this.

     Wiley and Rob stare at me, speechless. ''Anna? You're a princess?'' asks Wiley, surprised. I ignore her, and continue,'' Are you foreigners minions of Evaporata Landlubber, the evil witch?'' I'd better focus, I think. I've got to convince them that I don't know them. 

      ''I am the extremely gorgeous Wiley Rockaround,'' says Wiley in her prissiest voice. I think hard, and swim right back in. I go straight to the high-tech underwater computer and search for information. I find a link that says, '' Most Wanted: Wiley Rockaround and Rob Lamebrain, Minions of the Witch.'' I swim outside and say, ''You two don't know who you really are.'' From the moment I speak these words, Wiley and Rob change, which was something totally unpredicted by me. Wiley looks like the witch, and Rob looks like a male version of Wiley. 

     ''MINIONS!!!!!'' I scream. Nora and Melanie cum rushing outside to see why I screamed. I show them Wiley and Rob. Nora takes out her locket and so does Melanie does so too. Wiley panics,  ''No! No! Spare us! We are powerless against the lockets!''

      I tell Rob and Wiley that I am really Anna, as in the geeky nerdy teacher's pet from school, and that Nora and Melanie are my sisters. They seem surprised, and I can tell that they are. Throughout my life, Wiley and Rob thought that I was a miserable only child. 

      After a long day of witches and minions, I fall asleep in my super-soft new bed. 

the sea dwellers (chapter 4)

June 12, 2010

    I wake up to a swirl of water. I am still on that chair. I couldn't get a good sleep because  the hut had a large and slimy jellyfish in it, which was distracting me and waking me up a lot. Nora and Melanie are in the same situation.
    There are two adults, one man and one woman, on chairs next to us. One resembles Mom, while the other looks like Dad. Melanie wasn't kidding when she said that she'd take us to our parents.
    ''Hi, Mom and Dad! What's with the fins?'' I ask.
     ''Don't you know?'' says Dad. We are now all sea dwellers.
     ''Like mermaids?'' asks Nora.
      Melanie explains that mermaids are not as smart as sea dwellers, so they work for us under our command. Mermaids were such fools that they let themselves be discovered by the land-people before sea dwellers. Land-people, or humans, destroyed their environment and made them famous,and we still live by ourselves in the Sea of Secrets, which is where I am.
       ''But why were we land-people and you, Mom, and Dad are sea dwellers?''I ask. Melanie tells us how we were kidnapped by a witch. Our ''parents'' on land were clones of our real parents. We got claimed back when we swam in the Sea of Secrets.
        Dad asks us if we would like to go to a concert today. He has tickets, and he promises us that it will be totally worth it. We agree, then swim in to the ''Seafarer'' which is like a car underwater. It doesn't take us long to get to the concert hall. Once we get there, we swim inside. Fishes are all over the place. So are other sea dwellers, who Dad says I'll know better when I go to school here. The stage is in the middle of the audience, with runways coming out. I find a seat near a runway and a girl who says that her name is Rosemarie. She has red hair and dark eyes, and is a bit shorter than I am. She seems to like me, and I know that she is my first friend who is my age. She also has high grades in school while her classmates don't.
      The lights dim. The audience stops talking loudly and starts whispering. Rosemarie whispers that next year she will be going to a school for gifted sea dwellers. I sneak over do Mom and ask if I could go to that school and if Rosemarie can come over. She says yes.
      A handsome looking sea dweller swims up to the stage.
''Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the annual Summer Fest Concert! I hope you enjoy yourselves,'' he says. ''Please turn off your cell phones and don't use flash photography. First up, let's hear it for Lulu Cuckoldry!"
       Lulu Cuckoldry swims on the stage. She is singing a song which is familiar to me. She goes on the runway which Rosemarie and I are next to and drags us on to the stage. We are clueless about what to do next.  I see Dad in the audience. He is staring at Lulu really hard. Lulu ignores him. We try to sing something. Luckily, Rosemarie also knows that song, and she has an excellent voice, so I can just mouth the words.
      Lulu stares at us, as if she wants to burn us. We don't do anything. I see Rosemarie and Nora flickering like an old movie, and wonder if it is because of the piercing stare.
     Dad is muttering something. I can't hear what it is, but his voice sounds angry. Suddenly, there is a deafening explosionand we all turn away and cover our ears. Lulu looks much uglier after the explosion. She looks like a witch! A thought pops into my head. Could Lulu be the witch that kidnapped Nora and me? What business would she have kidnapping two ordinary children? Why can't she kidnap a princess instead and hold her for a huge ransom?
      As I keep thinking this, Dad's stare at Lulu the witch is growing harder. It is still having no effect. I think that he is trying to burn her. Thinking quickly, I spy our Seafarer outside the window of the concert hall. I go in it and try to drive. It isn't as easy as it looks, but in only 10 minutes I get to our hut. I look around and find two lockets. One of them has an "A'' on it, and the other has an ''N''.  I take both of them and drive the Seafarer to the concert hall. The rest of the audience has left, including Rosemarie. I shove one locket into Nora's hands, and I keep the other one, making sure that mine has an "A'' on the back.
     I open my locket and take out a pinch of the dust inside. Unsure what else to do, I give the dust to a little fish, who sprinkles it on Lulu. She screams, as if she is bring killed. I see her shrinking. She is now as tall as the fingernail on my little finger. Then, she disappears.
     I go to our Seafarer and hop in the driver's seat. ''Anna, aren't you a little young to drive?'' asks Mom. I don't say anything. Driving is pretty fun, even if I'm way too young. I drive us to our hut, where we spend the rest of the day.

the sea dwellers (chapter 3)

June 11, 2010


     I get up from the cargo hold of the SS Wonderland, the name of the shipwreck. The first thing I see is Nora's behind. She is still sleeping. After 8 years of sharing a room with her, I know that the best way to wake her up is to scratch her legs. Now, she doesn't have legs! She has one long, scaly fin! I scratch that anyways.
    Nora opens her eyes sleepily. ''Nora, you have a fin!' I say. Nora eyes me carefully, and replies, ''So do you!'' I sit down on a chair and see that I have a fin. Nora does the same. We swim some more and come to a beautiful castle, like something from a movie.
     ''Wow,'' breathes Nora. ''Atlantis,'' I say. Nora understands, for she has also heard about the legendary underwater city. However, none of us actually assumed it was real.
      ''Hey there, Anna! Hi, Nora!'' says a beautiful voice which sounds like cascading water. Nora and I see who is speaking. It is a young girl, about a year older than Nora. She has sea-blue eyes and blond hair. She has a fin, too and looks really familiar, as if I had seen her on the cover of a magazine.
       ''Why do you look so familiar?'' asks Nora.
       ''I'm your sister, Melanie. Let me take you to Mom and Dad,'' she says. I'm surprised to find that she's my sister. Maybe she's just lying to me. We follow Melanie to an old hut that looks totally demolished and rundown, as if no one had repaired it in a few decades. I go in and sit on an old chair with its stuffing coming out, not paying attention to my new surroundings.. I end up sleeping on it for the rest of today, because I'm so tired from the previous day's adventures.

the sea dwellers (chapter 2)

June 10, 2010

   Yay!!!!!  It's Beach Day!!! I pack all my swim gear and rush off to school, grabbing a bite of waffle and a gulp of orange juice. I don't care if I don't have enough nutrition for the day. I have a lot of stamina, and I JUST LOVE THE BEACH!!
   On the bus, I sit alone, which is completely normal for me. I hear Wiley and her friends gossiping about me. I don't care! They're just huge jerks, after all.
I rush off into the cool water,  with my swimsuit already on me. It's not the beach I was expecting to visit, but it still seems to have a lot of good places to swim.
    Just then, I remember that I left my goggles and flippers in the classroom. I jump in, holding my nose and closing my eyes. I accidentally let go of my nose and open my eyes. I can breathe and see underwater! For a moment, I think I'm dreaming, but after stubbing my toe on the sea floor, I know it's real.
I hear Mrs. Bossy's whistle and get out of the water.  ''Now we will have a contest. Whoever stays underwater the longest time will win!'' explains Mrs. Bossy. I take this as an excuse to explore underwater because Ms. Bossy doesn't know my newly discovered ability.
     ''Anna,'' someone whispers to me in a freakishly familiar voice. I see Nora on the beach, but then Mrs. Bossy calls, ''On your mark, get set, GO!'
   I breathe underwater, and Nora follows me into the cold blue depths. '' Mr. Finickiness said that we can have early dismissal!!'' she says. ''Mom drove me here.'' I see small bubbles come out from Nora's nose, and get sucked back in again. She is breathing too, just like I can!!! (Sorry if I'm overdoing it with the exclamation points, but I'm just too hyper now.
    We come to an old shipwreck, the SS Wonderland, and stop to rest for the night.

HIHIHIHIHIHI

I'm home for the weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'll tell you about CTY now...
Some of my friends are Michelle (my roommate, who's very interesting), Alyssa (she goes on sugar highs a lot), Celline (a really nice person), Raevyn (a chaotic hyper wacko), and Stephanie (a musical genius).
I go hyper every day with Alyssa. It's awesome here.
I'm in a band with Stephanie (cello) and Alyssa and Celine (both violin). I have to play a viola part on flute. It's hard >.<
Class is easy. REALLY easy. We do math a lot. And we build things too :D :D
I haven't seen any of my friends yet. The one who's my age barely even knows me. The high schooler is awesome and one of my best friends.
There are people in CTY that remind me of: Shuyang, Wiffie, Karebear, Kubby (cousin), Prachi, V, Sushi, Oreo (rofl), and a lot of others. It's like school away from home :D Minus the bullies, that is. That's just awesome. Raevyn, Celine, and Channing (other person) have been bullied too, so we tell stories about it.
Sorry to interrupt the story. I'll stop now.

the sea dwellers (chapter 1)

*This is a five part story. It's written in a diary format. It gets more interesting as it goes on!*


June 9, 2010

     ''Hello, little miss Anna,'' my teacher, Mrs. Bossy, says sarcastically. ''Here is your report card.'' 
I wonder why Mrs. Bossy is giving us our report cards a day too early. Today is the day before the last day of school. On the last day, we usually get our report cards, unless we have something special coming up. Without opening the brown envelope, I can tell what my grades are. They are straight As!! This is no surprise. Ever since I started school, I got exceptional grades, as did my sister Nora, who is two years younger than I am. This is why I'm known as ''Anna the Nerdy Geeky Teacher's Pet'' throughout Smith Elementary School, where Nora and I go. Most of the kids in school discourage people who do better than them, which is why Nora and I are the two greatest public enemies.
     ''Tomorrow, we will have an all-day beach party!''says Mrs. Bossy. ''Remember to pack your beach items!'' I'm so excited I can hardly wait. The beach is my favorite place in the whole wide world!!!
     I ride the bus home from school. I hear Miley Rockaround and Rob Lamebrain, the two biggest jerks in school, whisper, ''That Anna Swimmerwell is SUCH a GEEK!'' 
I hear them, but I don't say a word. I don't want to be hit by Rob, who's the best wrestler in the whole school. He's also super respected just because he and Miley have the worst grades.
Over dinner, I tell my family about the trip. Then I fall onto my bed and drift off to sleep.

And next up is the first chapter of one of the books, which actually has 6 parts...

a rat's life

The human giants are all asleep, but not me and my colony of rats. We're wide awake, and looking for food. People often consider us rats as pests and lazy creatures, but if you could peek inside our colony for even five minutes, you'd be surprised. We're gravely underestimated! We make awesome pets and are the polar opposite of lazy. 

While all the other rats are looking for food, I have to stay home and take care of my newest, and first, litter of baby rat pups. They're tiny little things, hairless and pink with their little eyes shut closed. The biggest pup opens one eye, then carefully opens the other. The remaining five pups follow. I smile to myself (yes, we rats are every bit as empathetic as you humans), proud that my first litter had all survived being born.

The other rats are back from foraging for food, and they deliver some to my nest. My pups can't eat solid food yet, so I have to keep nursing them. It's boring work, just sitting around with nothing to do, but I'll manage.

My mate and I are sitting in our nest when we hear that sound. "BAM! BAM! BAM!" No worries, it's just human footsteps. But to sensitive rat ears, they sound really loud. 

We grab the pups and huddle in the back of our nest, away from the humans. If those two-legged giants find us, we'll all be dead, and no one wants that. Not all humans are like the ones who live in our house (but claim it's theirs, even though we were here before they were). In fact, some are extremely kind to rats. I think it was just bad luck that made us live with this family...

It's almost too late. One of the two-legged giants looks into my nest. I can see her huge blue circle-shaped organ (is it supposed to be an eye?!) blocking the hole we use to enter our nest. Then there's her shrill voice screaming, "Honey! Come over here right this INSTANT! This house is INFESTED with RATS!!!!!!! Call the exterminator!!!!!"

We rats are clever enough to understand most human speech. From what I've heard, she wants us dead. And that's not going to happen. 

The other two-legged giant yells, in his low voice, "Remember that today's the exterminator's day off? Don't worry, dear, I have some mousetraps that are bound to work."

I recognize the word "mousetraps" and know that we'll easily be able to save ourselves. Mousetraps are easy to spring, and extremely easily noticable. Besides, they contain cheese, which is actually bad for us rats. 

With no reason to worry, my mate and I play with the pups. They're so adorable and helpless, and I can't imagine that eighteen human months ago, I was just like them. After playing in our nest, we decide to take the pups over to my sister's nest, so they can play with her pups, who are slightly older. However, there's a mousetrap right outside our door. I quickly find a splinter of wood and use it to set off the trap, letting us cross safely over. 

We get to my sister's nest and see that she and her mate are there, as well as all four of their pups. My pups, eager to have some cousins to play with, eagerly run over and try to talk to my sister's pups. (Rats have our own language, which consists mainly of body cues, squeaks, and tooth grinding.) Their attempt at conversation is so far from fluent that it's very cute. They crawl off with their cousins and start playing, and I can hear happy shrieks of laughter coming from them. While they play, my mate and I have a quick snack, then talk to my sister and her mate about the Mousetrap/Exterminator Problem. My sister says it's nothing too bad, that the exterminator isn't coming anytime soon and the mousetraps are so easily avoided that they're pointless. I agree with her, but I still have a flick of fear left in my tender rat heart.

My mate, our pups, and I head back to our nest. I find time to nurse the pups and tell them stories. It's so close to bedtime that they fall asleep, so that's what my mate and I do. I can't sleep well, because of the fear that we'll all die out. But then I remember my sister's words and I know that we rats can take any challenge the humans give us. After all, we're one of the best-adapted species on the planet (humans included)!!!!

Coming soon: a random chat which my friend Jen *MADE* me post.

an autobiography (for a contest, which i got honorable mention in)

I never really know how to describe myself. Around some people, I'm either extraordinarily hyper or extraordinarily sad, and around others, I'm really calm and keep to myself. Sometimes I just take extreme risks for the fun of it, but I can be really practical as well. I've never told anyone this before, but I'm not comfortable telling the truth most of the time. It's always either too boring or too interesting, too happy or too traumatic. Whenever I need to write about my life for an assignment, I really twist the details to get people to like me. (But this once, I'll try my hardest not to twist the truth.) And it was this that led people to believe that I wasn't "for real." They didn't want to hang out with a liar like me.

I've never had too many friends. In preschool, there was only one girl in my class who liked me even the tiniest bit, and even she didn't talk to me that often. Fifth grade was by far the worst year of my life, with the whole school bullying me, and to make matters worse, my only real friend had moved away a year eariler. During this year, I'd been cyberbullied really severely too. I thought that it was something about my looks that led people to hate me, so I started eating way less and spending too much time making sure that I didn't look weird. (I also started being so nice to others that I'm scared they're taking advantage of me.) This is one of the reasons I'm extremely camera shy. I'm afraid that people will see how ugly I am and my few friends will leave me. But I'm slowly overcoming that fear, with help from a girl I'll call Emily, who was in my band class. She didn't care that my nose was too big or that my hair never stayed in place. She only knew me as the tall kid who could play the flute really well, and she asked me to help her get the fingerings right. Before we knew it, we were inseparable best friends. Now, whenever someone bullies one of us, the other always stands up. For example, a random fourth grade boy was stalking Emily online and calling her mean names. Emily gave me the boy's email, and I stalked him right back and made him stop.

Back in fifth grade, despite the cyberbullying, I was one of the best students in not just the school, but the entire state! This year, I'm excelling academically again, but not as well. It's probably because I have a lot more homework, and staying organized is not one of my strong points. To make up for this, I have a pretty good memory, which is why I've been known as the "antisocial geek girl." These labels used to bother me, but I got used to them. That's the good thing about being bullied: you get better at standing up to people.

I'm unsure how to end this because I haven't had much practice ending stories (I have a hard time finishing something once I start it). So I guess I'll conclude with an overview of me: I have different personalities around different people, but I'm almost always rebellious and independent, wishing for someone who listened to every crazy idea I have.

Thanks for reading this! Next up is a story about rats.

a little story to keep you occupied

Once there was a guy named Bob. Bob didn't do anything but eat cookies. He ate so many cookies that he turned into one himself. Bob's former friend, Joe, saw the cookie version of Bob and almost ate it, but the world exploded. Joe screamed, then turned into a rocketship and flew to Mars, so he could eat Bob. However, Joe turned into a cookie once he ate Bob. So Joe exploded and had rainbow-itis, which is a disease that makes you puke rainbows. Joe puked all over Mars, until it became a rainbow-y planet. He hated rainbows, so he left instantly. Then he crumbled because he was a cookie. He crumbled into a pile of rainbows, which then exploded into nothingness.
The end.

Next up, there's an autobiography thingie...

I hope you enjoyed my post on how Google can't define "awesome." It's one of 21 posts I'm making =D

So anyway, here's a bit about my robotics team website. (I'm only involved in making the site and not actually programming everything. I just like making random websites, most of which I will never show anyone except me.)
Go on the website (linked to on the side) and happily zone out on people's profiles. I made mine demented/funny in a weird way.
And if you know anyone who fits the survey criteria, then tell them to take it =3
If you go on the blog, then the one that made the first post was me xD
And a bunch of stuff is coming soon.
Tomorrow's post is a little random story.

awesomeness

Here is a random post. Enjoy =)
It is the first one to be scheduled.

I did a google search for "define awesomeness" and this is what I got.

Google should know not to include the word in the definition.

So this led me to search up "define awesome."

O_O 

Seriously?

Only the second definition is true, but the first one and the synonyms are complete lies.

So... um... AWESOMENESS!

Bye for now xD
Tomorrow's post is about... the robotics website that barely anyone sees.

Blogger: How to Schedule a Post

This was requested by Britney.
And I was extraordinarily bored and there's nothing better to do with my time.

As you may know, I've been scheduling Blogger posts for my time in CTY. Here's how to do it:

First, you make a new post and write stuff in it.
Then you click on the "Schedule" button on the side: (i have highlighted it)

Click on "Set date and time." This is what the side part should look like now:

Select a date and time for your post. Then hit "Publish."

You figure out what that is...

BTW, tomorrow's post is about "awesomeness"

leaving tomorrow

OMG!!!! I'm going to college tomorrow!!!!!!!! (CTY) I'm hyper now because my roommate might discourage my hyperness, even though it's only for three weeks. Two of my friends are going. One's a high schooler, and I barely know the other one, so I'm probably not going to be stuck in a room with them.
I want to do a cartwheel...
What else did I want to say?...
I found another little trail!

So, I was biking to my little creek yesterday (the one which you need to do a steep and short rock climb to reach) when I noticed a path that led somewhere. It was really narrow and I just decided to follow it because I was bored. It was very short and there was this huge scary spiky spider plant whatchamacallit along the way. I'm not kidding, it was taller than I am (and I'm five foot three)!

I am randomly being random.
Bye.
Randomness and awesomeness.
And look out for my scheduled posts! All 19 of them...

new book!

I've done only the first chapter, which I will post the first few paragraphs of here. So far, I have over 1000 words. It's called "The Mutant." And it's not very good...


It’s a normal day in the life of me. There’s nothing too interesting that goes on in my life. It’s the year 2030, where face-to-face interaction is very uncommon and almost forbidden for people over five years old (younger kids are first raised by their parents, then given a computer). Everyone’s always hooked up to the internet.

Everyone, that is, except me.

My name is Jane Doe. Seriously, that’s my real name. I’m not lying to protect my identity. Online, no one knows me as Jane Doe. They all know me as the extremely pretty Corynne Keane. (Don’t ask how I made up that name...) In real life, I’m very plain, with dull brown eyes and messy red hair that gets in my face too much. I’m also a mutant, which, in my case, means that I eat, sleep, and use the restroom like people did in the past. And I prefer real-world interaction to virtual reality. But online, I’m a blue-eyed blonde teenage girl who’s beautiful and irresistible. Not one of the people who know me as Corynne has ever seen the real mutant Jane Doe.
   

a bit about my scheduled posts

Hi again.
So anyways, my scheduled posts involve the word "awesomeness", my robotics team website, a few poems and stories, and finally, two five-part books. I made all of them up in.... thirty minutes.

Now you may continue to read this website at your pleasure. =3

writing camp/stuff from my KP bio

I'm not supposed to be typing this. I'm in writing camp. Can't wait to go to college (CTY) xD.
My KP profile just got extremely funny and random. I'm that pro.
Let me post a little here...
The funny and random part isn't posted.

I'm the farthest thing from perfect.

Yeah, it's true. I don't care how negative i sounded there. I'm not extremely pretty or outgoing or a super genius or a sports star. I'm not exceptional at anything. In fact, I'm the most flawed person I know. I am plain (if not ugly), don't get straight A's in school, have almost been diagnosed with behavior problems (until I ran away from the psychologist), spell words wrong all the time (I used spell check to survive this autobiography!), trip over my own feet on a daily basis, have an 8-minute mile time (on an exceptionally great day; don't even get me started about a normal day's mile time!), and scared of looking a stranger in the eye (forget about talking to them).

But my flaws make me the person I am.

I'm glad I'm not perfect. Then I'd be a nobody, without the interesting stories that make me who I am. At least I'm someone.

That someone is the kid you know as Pixie.

The one who's pet rat is her best friend, who slips out of her house on a daily basis, who's allergic to pollen and pie and Gatorade and shopping (but not really pie and Gatorade and shopping), who does cartwheels in public and collapses to the ground in a fit of laughter. The girl who's so klutzy she's awesome, who has a thirty second attention span, who runs in her school's track team even though she knows she won't win anything. The kid whose brain is bursting at the seam with ideas she'd never want to tell anyone. Who would volunteer to be the first one to die if there wasn't enough room for everyone on this planet.

The girl who would never ever strive to be perfect.

Because no perfect girl would jump off a cliff and go swimming in a strange lake and almost get drowned by a waterfall. No flawless kid would even consider remembering the time she was cyberbullied and turning it into a song. (Do flawless kids even get cyberbullied?) No angelic child would be able to tell stories about the time she tricked her entire Language Arts class into thinking she was born in Texas, even when half of them knew she was born in Pennsylvania.

But I can do every single one of those things. And I'd never give it up to be flawless, or angelic, or perfect.

Because I'm Pixie. And I'm special, in my own way.

hi

I have a demented looking haircut. It's not all that demented; it's just very frizzy now.
Coco says hi to all the blog readers! She's fine, healing from her surgery (her tumors were taken out). She's also extremely hyper and would love it if you brought her some sunflower seeds. But you don't know where I live, so whatever. Virtual sunflower seeds will do.

I'm scheduling three weeks of posts for when I go to CTY. Stay tuned!
