Captured In a Dream!

Perrysburg Prom '10

I feel proud of this...

So in English class, we had to write two poems describing a place we like and/or have been/ have never been to in the style of Walt Whitman and Emily Dickinson.. So of course I described a beach! I feel proud of this hahaha. Enjoy:

Relaxation
While at the beach, I lay on the sand
Watching the clear blue water that sits in front of me
I hear the children laugh and play with the roaring waves,
The sound of the water moving in and out of shore,
For me, this is true relaxation.
The sun’s rays lay over me like a warm blanket,
Calming my body and taking away the stress caused by my daily life.
The movement of the palm leaves moving with the air,
The smell of the salt water, and coconuts, and air all surround me.
I feel the soft hands of the breeze massaging my back,
While my eyes are closed and mind is empty of worry,
This is my utmost relaxation.


Relaxation
At the Beach I lay¬¬---
Children laughing I hear
In and out of shore--- the water so clear---
It’s what I hear---
It’s Relaxation.
Over me--- the blanket of Sunshine
Calms me---
For Stress--- has quit me
Palms dance with Air
My eyes closed--- Mind relaxed
As Breeze--- with soft hands
Massages my back
It’s my utmost--- Relaxation.

Girls see over 400 ads a day telling them how they should look

I wrote my research paper about the media's impact on girls and decided to share what I learned with you because I think that this is a very serious situation that is making many girls feel insecure, depressed and some even go as far as commuting suicide. We live in a world where the ideal body is like a stick person, and everyone wants to be Barbie.

1. Girls, don't believe this kind of advertisements.
2. The majority of them aren't even real, don't you know what Photoshop can do?
3. Don't compare yourself to the women in these ads, half of them have eating disorders such as anorexia, since many of them only eat plain lettuce and water every week. Many of these women are going through depression. Don't become like one of them.
4. Embrace your own shape and size, don't listen to what ads say, "lose weight, tips on losing weight, diets"... Blah blah blah.
5. It is absolutely impossible to achieve the ideal body that magazines portray; girls, these aren't real natural bodies.
6. Beauty=Personality, confidence, happiness and being you!
7. Barbie is just a doll!

“Just remember, the same as a spectacular Vogue magazine, remember that no matter how close you follow the jumps: Continued on page whatever. No matter how careful you are, there's going to be the sense you missed something, the collapsed feeling under your skin that you didn't experience it all. There's that fallen heart feeling that you rushed right through the moments where you should've been paying attention. Well, get used to that feeling. That's how your whole life will feel some day. This is all practice. None of this matters. We're just warming up.” -Chuck Palaniuk

Why do week days go by so slow?

Well that's what I thought was happening... I thought this week was going by so slow, and I couldn't stop whinning about it. I forgot I didn't go to school Monday.... Ahhhh... That's why. Today, for the whole day, I thought it was only Wednesday. Don't you love that? When you find out the week is almost over when you realize it's THURSDAY?! AH YES! Finallyyy! The week is still going by slow, but at least today it's almost over.. And guess what? Tomorrow is FRIDAY :)! It has been a pretty chill week... School hasn't been hard, no tests, no stress. Cool. Favorite day of the week: Thursday . After thursday comes Friday;) haha. Right now, I am super duper absolutely extremelly excited
to the max. Yep. 8:00 p.m = winter ballllll! Dude, let's JUST DANCE! This blog is really pointless. But, I'm doing it so that I don't fall asleep on Kory again hah! And also because I want to share my excitement! Yah budddyyy! This will be my last blog for today, maybe.

Kbye.
Loveee,,
