What was the best costume you've ever had at Halloween? Describe it.

We don't celebrate halloween at my house.

Okay, so I did not make up that title...it is the title of the following article. Read the article and then pick which one you think would be the best.

I think the 7 levels of hell would be the best just because it gives you 7 different scary situations, causing you not to know what to expect.

Do you believe any old wise tales or superstitions like these? Why or why not? Where did the breaking a mirror superstition originate?

No I don't believe in superstitions b/c they are nothing but explanations old people made up b/c they wanted to scare people. I have no idea where the "breaking a mirror" superstition originated.

1. YOU SKIP SODA (EVEN DIET)
2. YOUR LEGS ARE STRONG
3. YOUR MOM HAD YOU YOUNG
4. YOU EAT AND DRINK PURPLE THINGS
These are 4 ways to prolong your life according to a recent article on Yahoo. Read the article (http://shine.yahoo.com/channel/health/4-surprising-signs-you-ll-live-a-long-time-290919/). What are your thoughts on these research findings? Do you believe them? Do any of these signs already apply to your life? How old do you think you'll live to?

I think that the ideas have merit to a certain extent, but if you think about it, even people who apply to all four could get involved in a fatal accident at an early age. None of them apply to me so there's no telling when I might die.

Freewrite

I had a very busy, but boring weekend. I didn't get to see the Trojans beat Valdosta due to rain. I had to take the ACT and volunteer Saturday, so I didn't get to do anything I wanted, like going to the Sweet Potato Festival. Yesterday, I was occupied with essays til 3 AM.

Wiki?

What is a wiki? What is the purpose of a wiki?

No idea.

Compliment

What's the best compliment anyone has ever given you?

The way I carry myself adds to how I look and is kind of intimidating, but at the same time very attractive.

Charge

An 89-year-old Ohio woman faces a charge of petty theft because neighborhood children say she refused to give back their football.
Edna Jester was placed under arrest last week and taken to the police station in the Cincinnati suburb of Blue Ash. Police say there had been an ongoing dispute over the errant football and a child's father called to report that Jester kept the ball after it landed in her yard. Blue Ash Police Capt. James Schaffer says police warned Jester twice and finally arrested her after she refused to accept a citation. She must appear in mayor's court next month.
Jester said Monday she didn't have time to discuss the incident, saying she has received many phone calls about it.
What are your thoughts on this CNN news article?

That's crazy to charge an old lady with theft. They should have just bought another ball. But at the same time, she should have complied with the police's orders; she should have just given the ball back.

Names

My little neice in this picture is named Kyleigh Laverne. Laverne was my paternal grandmother's name. She was one awesome lady and although Laverne may not be the prettiest name out there, it is a name to be cherised within our family. If you had a child tomorrow, what would you name it?

If I had three girls I'd name them Keiyata Chante, Keiyara Melai, and Keiyana Jhene. If I had a boy, I'd name him Marcus Demari.

Debate

The last debate was last night and with only a few weeks left until the election, the campaign is heating up. I didn't get a chance to watch last night's debate since I was at church, but I plan to catch up with last night's happenings on CNN later today. Did you watch the debate? If you did, what were the big topics? Did the debate change your mind about who you are going to vote for? If you didn't watch, why didn't you? What did you do instead?

I went to the middle school championship in Tifton. I'm sick of the debates; all they do is play the blame game.

Kindness

What do you think about this incident? Have you ever had anything like this happen to you before? Have you ever did this for someone else? What are some simple random acts of kindness you could do to make the world a better place?

That was nice of him. Yes, I've had a manager give me my food for free for no reason. I haven't done anything that extreme, but if somebody needed me to, I would. Just people being nicer to each other could make the world a better place.

Break

Write at least a paragraph (at least 5 sentences) about anything. It's your choice...just keep it clean.

I enjoyed my break. I got to go to the football game [bummer :(], and I went to the movies. I got alot of sleep in. I also got alot of work done. We need more breaks like this :).

Debate

Did you watch the debate between McCain & Obama last night? If so, what are your thoughts? If not, read this article http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/presidential_debate and then express your thoughts. I'm not asking for you to tell me which candidate you are in favor of, but to give an educated opinion on the debate.

Yes, I had to watch the debates for my economics class. I hate debates b/c they do more finger pointing than asking questions. I feel like Obama really brought some important issues to the table, but some of the questions he didn't really answer. I feel like McCain did a really good job, but it was obscured by his constant finger-pointing.

Look back at your very first posting on this blog. Have you met any of the goals on your list at this point? Do you need to revise (add or take off) the goals? Did you meet all the goals you set for 1st 9 weeks grades? Explain.

They only goal I feel like I've met is maintaining my rank. The others are more gradual, with the exception of college applications. I've just been procrastinating with that. I REALLY should get on that. The list doesn't need revision, though.

Candy Kisses

While looking at a cooking magazine yesterday, I saw the oddest Hershey's Kisses ever -- Candy Corn. The description says that these kisses combine the sweet taste of an old-time kid favorite and the smooth, creamy flavor of white chocolate. Have you ever tasted one before? What do you think about them? Do you plan on buying a package of these kisses this Halloween season?

My chorus teacher gave me one. They're alright, nothing I'd waste my money on though.

Lottery

If you won a million bucks in the lottery, what would you do? (Although Ms. Gay does not condone the lottery...gambling can become an addiction that ruins lives.) List at least 5 things you would do with the money. Use a bulleted list.

• Pay all my immediate family's debts
• Give money to other family/friends/church
• Put aside enough for college
• Go on a shopping spree
• Buy a Beemer (BMW for the squares out there
• Save the rest (If there's any left ;D)
