A dark alley on a rainy night

As I regained conscientiousness, I remember asking "what where those headlights all about?" April said "I didn't see any headlights...just lay still I think your head is bleeding." But since I was so stubborn I tried sitting up. Immediately I felt as if the whole world was spinning incredibly fast, "laying down is a good idea," i said as i laid back down. When I was finally back down Ashley showed up and stood there in shock at the sight of me laying on the ground bleeding.

"RACHEL WHAT DID YOU DO!?" Ashley yelled. I said "DOES IT LOOK LIKE I KNOW!?" When she noticed that I was bleeding she suddenly knew all this medical stuff and began dressing my wounds as best she could till we could call someone for help. I decided to blame everything on April. "Its because I'm brown," April said. Well the truth is, we all know she is brown, but that's not why I blamed her.

"You gave her that drink! You said it had nothing in it, and you knew that it would mess her up!" Kamille said as she ran out of the vestibule. "Apparently she had some of the same drink cause she sped out of the parking lot and hit me with her car" I said as I lay on the ground trying to stay conscious. " How could you do something that stupid, oh wait it's you," Kamille said. Kamille had always been a little harsh on people, and when she saw what had happened to me that harshness turned into meanness. But luckily for me I only had a broken arm and a concussion...my mom always said that as long as you guys (talking about my brother, sister, and I) fall on your heads it's not that bad. I think she was calling us hardheaded.

Hi my name is Seymour Lazar Colin Stephan Dakota Johnny Clevis Homer Jackson Dan Jason Sprayberry, my friends just call me Seymour or if they can remember any of my other names they might decide to call me by one of the others. I want to tell you a story about the time i found the big black shiny thingy! It was like any other day except there were weird hairless monkeys trampling through the forest. They were moving really funny, they didn't use there arms they just used there back legs and there arms hung down at there sides. They had weird looking things covering them too I think they called them clothes. I asked them what they were doing but they would not answer me. It's like they couldn't understand me. I was starting to become angry but then...I saw it. The big black shiny thingy! It was tall and had three legs with a long nose that got wider as it jutted out. I was so curious about it I jumped on the things head but it didn't move. I realized that the thing wasn't alive but when I looked down the things nose there was another monkey that looked just like me! I saw a flash of light when I looked to see what the flash was one of the strange looking monkeys in the things called clothes was holding a smaller black thing up to his face I started to yell at him "WHO IS THIS MONKEY THAT LOOKS LIKE SEYMOUR LAZAR COLIN STEPHAN DAKOTA JOHNNY CLEVIS HOMER JACKSON DAN JASON SPRAYBERRY?!?!?!" The strange hairless monkey just put the black thing back up to his face and made it flash some more so I jumped back into the trees and continued yelling at him till he left!

Letter to me

Hey, it's me...us...you?? You should be about 30 right now, hopefully you are married and have a couple of kids by now. Remember that was the plan? Have kids when you were still young so that when the children grow up you will still be able to keep up with them? Even though you were 17 years old when you wrote this you really wanted to have a family. Don't forget about everything you've gone through, all the troubling times were there to test you, to make sure you were strong enough to handle things on your own. I hope that you are handling things nicely I know how scared you probably were. I also hope that we went to college or some kind of school, and that we have a good job that we are happy with. That was the one thing we were worried about most, do you remember? Everyone always asking you what you were going to do after school but having no clue how to answer. Always worrying that you wouldn't find the job that you really loved. I hope that we found it I hope that all our dreams about meeting people, not being so shy, and finding a good guy that would treat you and your family right. I only wish that you could send me a letter telling me how things would turn out for me. To tell me what our husband looks like how many children we have or are planing to have, and who our friends are or still are. If you lost touch with your high school friends I advise you to call at least one of them and read them this letter, no matter the circumstances I hope you haven't lost sight of who we are.

Take care of us and don't ever forget who you really are

Coach Rhodes

I too love Coach Rhodes, I mean who doesn't? Even if he makes you angry you can't help but still love him. The memory I have of coach Rhodes that always makes me laugh is when i was a freshman, my class had a bunch of people in it including Kasia Kessler and Kalin Bentley. I remember I sat by Kasia and Kalin sat on the other side of her at the begining of the year but all the sudden coach moved her as far away from Kalin and I as possible when Kalin and Kasia asked him about it he said that he moved us because he was afraid that we were going to take over his class and he'd never be able to get it back the way he liked it...silent.

a story! about a girl and her facebook

Once there was a girl who had a facebook. She didn't realize how many people actually read what she posted. So she posted something about not wanting to do her "stupid blog" but it was just a figure of speech. Then all of the sudden she got at least 40 comments about how what she wrote was "offensive" and how bloging was "fun" and how some other people wished they had "time to blog". The girl was just in a bad mood because one of her friends was not being a good friend, so she really just didn't feel like doing the blog. But everyone thought she was mad because she had to blog. When really she though bloging is actually an easy hundred and sometimes kinda fun. She was shocked when she came to school and her English teacher quoted what she said exactly. She didn't even have her English teacher added on her facebook, and she was kind of confused how her English teacher knew about it. She will hopefully get a comment on her "stupid blog" about how her English teacher knew about her facebook post. But the girl has a sneaking suspicion that it was another English teacher that told her.

H1N1

Yea the H1N1 virus is stupid. More people have died from the regular flu in this year alone than have died from the swine flu combined. It's just a new sickness that doesn't quiet have a fool proof vaccination yet. But there are plenty of other sickness out there like that. I'm not worried about the swine flu at all.

Homecoming (this is totally fake lol)

One year at homecoming I was there with my best friend Amie. We just wanted to go to see who got queen and to see there dresses and everyone's mums. When we got there we noticed the crowd was acting weird. They weren't cheering like they normally do. Amie and I didn't think anything of it we just went and sat at the top of the stands like we normally do. As the game goes on the people start getting really rowdy and violent so just as we were about to leave some guy came up and grabbed Amie's arm. His face was all scratched up and bloody, his clothes were torn and filthy. It looked as if he were trying to bite Amie but before he could I kicked him in the face and he tumbled down the stands. When that happened everyone turned and looked at us, they all looked just like the man that grabbed Amie's arm all scratched up and bloody with torn clothes that were filthy, Amie started to panic I knew we had to get out of there before they started coming after us. So very casually we went to the stares and started moving towards the bottom. All of the sudden the zombie like people started jumping at us so Amie and I jumped over the rail onto the field only to find out that the whole football team and the homecoming court EVERYONE! had turned into zombies! We ran across the field to the gate but unfortunately the gate was locked and the zombies were right on our tails. I turned to ask Amie what to do but i noticed that she had changed! She was a zombie now. I was so surprised, I couldn't move the zombies jumped at me but someone grabbed the back of my shirt and pulled me through the newly opened gate. It was Kalin Bentley and Kasia Kessler they had come to save me and Amie, but Amie was aready a zombie. I pulled her through anyway and thankfully Kasia being the brain that she is had made a cure and turned Amie back to a human.

The end

Beowulf

The Wrath of Grendel
The huge beast known as Grendel sat in his swamp and listened to his ipod shuffle. But over his shuffle he heard someone else's music. This angered him because the other music was praising God. So he went to the town and killed 30 people.

The Coming of Beowulf
Hrothgar sat in his chair on this Macbook Air, twittering about how Grendel had been killing people for 12 years, and he was sad. Beowulf read Hrothgar's twitter page through his iphone and thought to himself, "hm, its been 12 years I think I'm gonna go kill this thing when no one else has been able to, because I am a superhuman." So he gathered up 14 of his strongest men and sailed to Hrothgar's kingdom. But before he left, he put a sticky note on Higlac's Macbook Pro saying where he went and what he was going to do. When they got to there destination the Danish Watchman, who already knew that they were coming because of his 2009 sonar, questioned Beowulf. With a little time Beowulf convinced the watchman that he was a friend, there to slay the beast Grendel.

The Battle With Grendel
Beowulf laid out a plan to kill Grendel it was a fool proof plan (0r so he thought). He and his soldiers laid on the ground waiting for Grendel, to trap him in there plan. As Grendel approached the soldiers could here the music from his ipod shuffle but one of the soldiers wasn't fast enough and Grendel snatched him up, and killed him. When he went for Beowulf he was surprised because as he reached for him, Beowulf rose up and tore his arm off. And to make matters worse Beowulf broke Grendel's Ipod. Grendel ran away like the real coward he was to die a very slow death.

The Monsters Lair
Grendel's mother found out about her sons death by searching the enternet on her Dell laptop for funny animals. She saw that Beowulf had taken a picture of Grendel's newly detached arm and put captions under it saying "lol, the "great beast" called Grendel was no match for me! Beowulf! The superhuman!" She was furious with Beowulf and Hrothgar who had invited this man into his kingdom to kill her baby boy. She went to Hrothgar's kingdom and killed Hrothgar's closest friend. Scared, Hrothgar hired Beowulf to also kill Grendel's mother.

The Battle with Grendel's Mother
Beowulf had to leave his Iphone on shore with his soldiers because he didn't have a water proof cover for it, and since he didn't know how long he would be under the lake fighting Grendel's mother. He swam down to the bottom of the lake, which took him hours to do. But once at the bottom he saw Grendel's mother's lair and burst inside to find that there was no water inside that he could finally breath. He also found Grendel's mother bloging about how she was gonna put a stop to Beowulf once and for all. She looked up quickly from her computer and snarled, they began to fight. Grendel's mother, it seemed, was gaining the upper hand specially when Beowulf's sword broke. She stabed at Beowulf but his armor protected him. Then Beowulf suddenly saw a sword up on the wall and thought "hm, that is a big sword, it's kinda weird to just be hanging on the wall like that." He snatched it up and went after Grendel's mother who was thinking "CRAP! I knew i should have gotten rid of that stupid sword!" Beowulf finally chopped her in the neck and the battle was over. all of the people standing on the shore waiting for Beowulf to resurface gave up hope when they saw the waters turn red with Grendel's mothers blood for they thought it was Beowulf's, besides no one could hold their breath for that long not even a superhuman. One of the whitebeards stood on his segway and with sorrow in his heart rode away from the water. But as he left Beowulf resurfaced to the surprise of his men carrying the head of Grendel.

The Last Battle
So kinda tired and beat up Beowulf goes home and then 10 years later he is made king. For 50 long and happy years Beowulf ruled until he learned of a dragon that was creating some problems. So 80 something year old Beowulf decides that he is still strong enough to fight off the dragon but tells everyone goodbye just in case. Beowulf finds the dragon but all of his soldiers run away with there lasers that could have blinded the dragon, before the fight really begins. All except one, Wiglaf, who is Beowulf's young cousin , stayed to help his cousin and king fight the dragon. They fight the dragon and eventually Beowulf gets the glory of killing the dragon, Wiglaf takes a picture of the dead dragon with his brand new Digital Camera, but Beowulf is mortally wounded and asks Wiglaf to bring the dragons treasure to him.

The Spoils
Wiglaf hurries into the dragons lair because he knows that Beowulf probably isn't going to last much longer. He brings the spoils out to Beowulf and Beowulf, inturn, makes his cousin king before he dies and asks him to build him a tower called Beowulf tower.


The Farewell
Beowulf is dead and his people are sad as they build his tower. When they were finally done one of the soldiers hooked up a wireless suround sound system and carried the part that held the cd with mournful music on it with him as he and the other soldiers rode around Beowulf Tower.

My Future

In the future after I've graduated college I will already be married to the man of my dreams. He has Dark brown hair and dark brown eyes, a wonderful smile that always gets him get out of trouble, and a southern accent that makes everyone laugh. I haven't met him yet but I know he's out there somewhere. We will already be living in our perfect 4 bedroom 3 bathroom house with hard wood floors in the main rooms, tile bathroom floors and showers, granite counter tops in the bathroom and kitchen, and walk in closets in every room. We will own 4 cars one is a black Chevy Chevelle SS 454 that I like to drive to work ;), the other is a black '67 Chevy Impala that purrs when you start her up, my husband drives that to work everyday, and there is the black SUV to take the family on road trips in, and last but certainly not least we have the black 4 door GMC Pick-up :) that one is just there to look pretty :D and take us to the ranch. Since we like to travel almost every weekend the SUV is a must. And every Friday my husband gets off of work early so we can wash and wax all of the cars and do maintenance on all of them to make sure they are always in top condition, did I mention that my husbands father was a mechanic so he knows everything there is to know about cars? We have 3 kids all boys. I will probably be the one to get the kids to school then go off to work at the hospital as a nurse. We will have a huge back yard where the dogs can have space to run and the kids can be safe. Then after I get off of work I go pick up the children and take them out to a friend of the families ranch so we can all ride horses until my husband gets off of work then we will go home eat dinner and make sure homework is done and everything is ready for then next day.

People who have packed my parachute

The people who have packed my parachute are my mom, dad, grandpa, brother, sister, and my best freind. But the person that has packed my parachute the most is probably my brother. He is 6 years older than me and he has always kept me in line. Every time I was doing something wrong I would always think about Adam and wonder what he would think if he knew I was doing this. I can always call him and talk to him about everything and he understands. I wish he lived closer so that I could see him more often but after I graduate I plan to move closer to him and the rest of my family in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.

Expectations of being a senior

Well, Senior year is finally here! It's about time! alot of us have been waiting for this since we started kindergarten, I know I sure have. But now that it's finally here I'm not sure if I'm ready for it. But I am expecting it to be a lot of fun, and expect to get to know my class mates better by the time graduation gets here.
