The New In COOL

What is cool in 2009???

Skinny jeans!!!!

Skinny jeans... the newest fad: skinny leg, bunching at the ankle. Cute and denim. No embellishments on the pockets. Cute and stylish. these are sold almost anywhere. Some skinny jeans are so called "fake skinny". I got a pair from Gap dubbed "skinny" and when I first tried them on, they felt great. Now??? Well, let's just say they aren't so skinny anymore. Uggh... that was a rip off. Try to get a pair that are moderately to extremely tight so when they stretch during the day, they will still be skinny by the end. I'd stay away from painful tightness, but also close to it, to where the leg feels pleasently numb. JK JK LOL. Just kidding, laugh out loud!!! Get skinny jeans that are comfortable and also look good.


Aeropostale

Check that out!!! Yah, it's from Aeropostale. This is a totally awesome name brand that everyone just loves. It fits you just right. I love it and so will you!!! B-bye!!!

Randomness!!!

Dear Bean's Scene readers,
I haven't written in such a long time and I'm so sorry, but anyway, I have some more advice for you, readers. These are really randomn ideas and other things so I'll just list them. Please, try to follow.
1. Have you ever talked in texting language? How do you do that. You have to try to shorten every word as much as you can, using as small amount of letters as possible. As an example: "I'll see you later!", you would write "ill c u l8ter". Also, as an example, "write" would become "rite". There are many other words that would become texting language and you should ask your friends for more examples.
2. Halloween is coming up. Do you have any idea what you're being? You could be a monster, a bloody dude, or even some person named "Bob". Maybe? You could also be somebody cutesy. Maybe a cute little ghost with a bow tie, or a princess for the littler audience. Maybe even a witch.
3. What are your favorite shows. Have you ever watched Cartoon Network? Try a few shows like Ben 10 Alien Force and Star Wars the Clone Wars for a little bit of action. Try Chowder and the Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack for a few laughs. There are also tons of other shows.
Glad to talk to you,
Sincerely,
Bean

Yesterday we came back from a fun-filled three day Disney trip. We, of course, went to Downtown Disney's East and West sides, but the most fascinating part was on the third day when, as a surprise trip, we went to Blizzard Beach.
Blizzard Beach is a waterpark filled with fun and action. The story behind it is that a freak snowstorm hit Florida and the people there built a ski resort, but with a rise in temperature the snow started to melt leaving waterslides in the hot sun.
When you first walk into the park you will see a building. In here you can rent lockers and towels and other things you need to enjoy your stay. When you walk around a corner you will see Snowless Joe's locker rental, but the first building is much less crowded and will help you get to the rides even faster.
After wiping on some sun screen you're ready to go. The rides themselves open at 9:00, but the park itself opens for you around 8:30 or 8:40. I find that it is better to warm up on the more intense rides.
The first ride I went on was called the Downhill Double Dipper. This ride would be good to hit early in the morning, because in the middle of the day when its crowded this ride gets very popular. This is a humungo speed slide 1/2 in a tube and 1/2 out. There are two slides next to eachother so you can race a friend or just go by yourself. This ride is a step down from Summit Plummet and Slush Gusher, but it is still pretty intense. You step into a small pool in ankle deep water and sit on a tube. You rest your feet on a plastic lever until someone pushes a button and the lever goes down launching you into a 3 second free fall down an intensely inclined slope and then bumping over the second dip and letting you slide down the slide, still sloping downward and splashing into a large pool and getting soaked! This is one of my personally favorite rides. It might be a little intense for younger riders under the age of 9 so one parent could go on it with an older sibling while the younger one hangs with the other parent next to the landing pool where the slide runs into.
The second ride is a real crowd pleaser and would also be good to hit in the beggining of the day. This is a ride the whole family will enjoy. With lots of dips and a family size raft Teamboat Springs is a good start to the day. Ride up on the sides of the waterslide following the stream of water and then as a finale dip down two sets of falls, just big enough to make you scream. For kids of all ages.
Next we went on Toboggan Racers a fun racing ride where you get on tobbogans and slide over three dips and down going really fast. Children of all ages can ride this ride. It might look steep and kind of freaky, but don't be scared, it's really fun. Hit this in the mid-morning, because it isn't the most popular.
Next? Snow Stormers, kind of like a smaller version of Teamboat Springs. It's good fun for the whole family with lots of turns and riding up on the walls. For children of all ages. Go around mid-morning.
After that we came upon Runoff Rapids. In this ride you have a choice: go alone on a single innertube in the dark or go on a double innertube in the light. Fun for all ages on this ride, but darkness could be scary for younger audiences, because at times it is pitch black while still going around corners, but at others you can see slightly through small holes in the sides. Smaller children might like the open tubes better where they can sit with someone else, look up at the bright sunlight, and still enjoy all the thrills of the enclosed tube.
Those there are my favorite rides even though there is much more to do and see. Check out rates, attractions and other fun stuff at:

The links at the top of the page are kid friendly, safe you-tube videos. I have not looked at the comments made so those might not be, so if you're a kid, ask your mom or dad to come with you if you want to look at the comments made there. They're in randomn order and I think you can tell which ones they are by the descriptions I gave.

Oh My Gosh! HP6

A PIC OF DUMBLEDORE!!!

I just saw Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince the other day. It is really, really good! I just loved it! To warn you, if you've read the book, don't think about the book version of the story. It's really nothing like it, but still a great movie! You have (have, have, have) to see it! I know you'll like it! It's in the movie theater now!

Thanks to KJ: A Quick Little Problem

This is really worth doing and it's a quick little problem if you follow the instructions.
1. Grab a calculator---not an adding machine (you won't be able to do this in your head)
2. key in the first three digits of your phone number (not the area code)
3. multiply by 80
4. add 1
5. multiply by 250
6. add the last 4 digits of your phone number
7. add the last 4 digits of your phone number again
8. subtract 250
9. divide number by 2

Do you recognize the answer?

Just Movie Talk!

What are your favorite movies? I have many favorites. Pixar makes some very nice animated movies with funny aspects. Wall-E was really good, but not good to see on a regular TV. Everything is so over-the-top bright and there isn't much talking, so it makes you need to focus on the visual aspects of the movie. I'm going to see Harry Potter 6 tommorrow. It's supposed to be really good. All the Harry Potters are on my list of fave movies. How they're going to pull off not rating the seventh R, I don't know. Even the fact that the 6th was PG. Wow! Speaking of Harry Potter this is how I rank them and why.

1. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone-

This movie doesn't have the most astounding special effects, but it has Daniel Radcliffe when he was young and cute, and follows the book almost perfectly.

2. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix-

Amazing special effects and Sirius dies, making this one of the best in the Harry Potter movies.

3. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban-

Special effects are really good accompanied by Sirius coming back and if I remember correctly Trelawney's prophecy in front of Harry. (creepy)

4. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets-

The best thing about this movie is that the actors are good actors and the how cocky Lockhart is. You also start to see a connection between Ron and Hermione in this movie.

5. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire-

They cut so much out of this movie! The best part is in the Graveyard.

School Shopping!

School days are almost back again and it's time to do your school shopping. I've already done mine so I can tell you what you need. For someone going into middle school, you need a really good backpack. Bigger than the one you had last year and a stronger one too. You also need a binder with files for all your subjects and other things that you keep in handy. It would be inviteable to have a seperate homework folder too. You need to stay organized this year! Go to your school website to get your supply lists. Even if it says 'optional' next to a supply, get it. You need to be on the top of your game! Hope you enjoy school shopping!

A Book! Mocking Me? Seeing Truth? The Navy's Daughter?

I am in the middle of writing a book that won't be on shelves. It's just something I want to write. It will either be called Mocking Me, Seeing Truth, or The Navy's Daughter. This book will be featuring two main characters, Leah and Edcliffe Lewis. Their parents are both in the Navy and the children were born in China. They experience much change when they move to a small town in Virginia. Yet, a few weeks into the start of their stay their mom and dad leave to fight in a war including the people of Hawaii. Meanwhile, they leave Leah and Edcliffe behind to combat hurt over their deaths and regular social troubles such as dealing with bullies, boys and girls, and grades. The book is from the eyes of Leah.

Who Wants A Riddle?

Answer: a clock

Tom and his younger sister were fighting. Their mother was tired of the fighting, and decided to punish them by making them stand on the same piece of newspaper in such a way that they couldn't touch each other.
How did she accomplish this?

Answer: a river

Sometimes it's fun to experiment with words! Don't you think so?

Pics of Potter

This is the best picture of Harry, Ron and Hermione. Amazing!

This is Bonnie Wright, the girl who plays Ginny Weasley. And I thought she looked bad, now she looks amazing!

This is something that, in my opinion is really cool. It's something called Chocolate Math, and my friends and I still haven't figured out how it does it.
Try it, it's really fun. I got in an e-mail.
Try this and see if the Hershey Man knows your age:

• First of all pick the number of times a week that you would like to have Chocolate (more than 1 and less than 10)
• Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold)
• Add 5
• Multiply it by 50 (I'll wait while you get your calculator)
• If you've already had your birthday this year add 1759, if you haven't had it yet add 1758
• Now, subtract the 4 digit year that you were born

You should have a 3 digit number

The first digit of this should be your original number (the number of times you'd like to have chocolate a week)

The last two are

YOUR AGE! (oh! YES it is!)

HP5 is AWESOME

Wow! I believe Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix the best out of all the movies so far. Amazingly enough you might have heard very mixed reveiws. My friend lamented to me that it was lame, but the moment I started to watch my eyes were caught on the screen. From dementor and Voldemort attacks to Dolores Umbridge treating everyone like dirt, this movie was by far the best and I am looking forward to the next in its kind. In my opinion the 7th Harry Potter movie (that is to be split into 2 parts) that is still to come should be split and rated like this. The break off, my friend Samuel and I agreed, should be right after Harry, Hermione, and Ron break into Gringotts and are sitting on a beach laughing their heads off. The first half of the movie should be rated PG-13. The problem is that we also agreed that the director could not make the second half of the Harry Potter R, therefore he would be diminishing half of his target audience, kids, just because they could not see the movie. Yet, with all the killing that is going on during that half (Dobby, Fred, Lupin, Tonks, Colin Creevy etc.) we wonder if there is some sort of middle point in between PG-13 and R that kids can see. Does anyone know? Oh, and is it just me, or is Harry cuter because he cut his hair?

Summer Is Finally Here!

Summer has finally arrived on the Tween Scene and there's a lot that you can do to make your summer fun! Here are some ideas.

• Are you usually bored during the summer? Make a list of ideas for both inside and outside play. You can refer to this sheet on those boring mom-I-have-nothing-to-do days.


• Make a jar filled with paper slips saying things you would like to do this summer. Every week draw a card. Have everyone contribute something and be sure to give everyone in the family a special day where they get to choose everything that goes on.


• Have a pool party celebrating the end of school. Be sure to find pizza and cake. Natural Cheetohs will add a nice and healthy touch too!


• Rock the beach! Be sure to bring a beach volleyball and some diving gear. Even if you don't have any coral reefs where you live, this will be fun for seeing what goes on under the waves, especially in deeper water.


• Make a play! Plays are fun and creative ways to show your talent! Write your own and show what you do best. As an example, Izzy's brother Joshua is an amazing drawer, so in their play he will be the artist!

There are plenty more ways to have fun during your summer. Just look up "summer ideas" . Usually G

oogle, Ask, or Wikipedia will do the trick. I know you'll have fun during the summer!

I Won 1st Place in an Essay Contest! (May 2009)

I entered the local Sertoma Society's essay contest. The topic was: "What Freedom Means to Me." I just found out that I won 1st place! My prize is a $200 savings bond and an awards breakfast with my family and teacher. Here is my winning entry!!!

What Freedom Means to Me

Freedom resides in America. It shoots out of our geysers and is our ice cream on a hot day. Freedom is a privilege, though many take it for granted. Americans should imagine being in a place where people are not allowed to defend themselves and cannot speak for what they think is right. So, to me freedom is the right to express yourself.

The greatest freedom is freedom of speech. Have you ever experienced a court ruling, watched TV news, or even read the newspaper? You might have never stopped to think that this wouldn’t be possible without freedom of speech. Even certain parts of history would have never been possible without this freedom. Dr. King’s many preachings, speeches, and rallies influenced generations of people and without this ability, we would not be anywhere close to having a black president.

Freedom is a right and a privilege that shouldn’t be viewed as insignificant. We should consider how citizens of other countries would feel if they were a subject of our nation and were able to experience opportunities our citizens take for granted. To me, freedom is the right to express your opinions; it’s an undeniable human necessity.

I Won 2nd Place in a Poetry Contest (2008)

This poem is from last year (2008). I just decided to post it. I had entered my poem in the Betty Griffin House "A Day Without Violence" contest and won $50. My poem was also put into their calendar! Here it is:

A Day Without Violence

If I had a day without violence,

I know that I would find,

That there is good in every person,

Each and every kind.

Weapons would not exist,

Harsh words never used.

Children would be safe at home,

and none would be abused.

The Lone Wanderer

Black hair
Curls winding
Around her face a denouement
Her reading dissapoints
Her many onlookers think
That she has no personality
Never gives a thought to life outside
The book cover is the only thing
You can ever see
Her face may be pretty
It may not
She doesn't have a beaux
It's not that she's not pretty
It's her personality that's horrible
Give her a chance
Maybe one day someone
Will help her
Will give her a chance yet again
She will rise
She will reach the stars
She will hav chosen her path

It's Time for Lunch

Mama gets some cool new plants
Should I touch it
I'll rip my pants
I'll get a whammy on my behind
Do I dare?
I'd rather not try.
Chicken, chicken!
Feathered flock!
He won't do it!
Pshaw!
Bsquawk!
Fine, I'll try!
I finally yell
They sniff my fear
Keen sense of smell
Goodness knows what I was thinking
Their mouths fall open
I start winking
I turn around, and guess what I see?
Three great big cacti
Leaning over me!
I promised to touch it,
Should I still
I feel like I'm running up a never ending hill
I trudge to cactus
And raise my hand
But like a brightly colored band
My mama, and sisters, and brothers
A big great bunch
Come to tell me
It's time for lunch!

Spring Break To-Do List

1. Ride bikes: Spring Break is the perfect time for outside activities and riding bikes is classic. Ride around your neighborhood and go the park. You can mingle with your friends (and your enemies) and being bored won't be an option.
2. Make a Play: all you need is theme music. Make a script and a welcome speech and invite friends over to help. Then make a list of the cast and perform in front of your parents making a festive time out of your Spring Break.
3. Pool Party: A more complicated addition to your Spring Break. Be ready to rock and roll with your friends while you hit the water. Be sure to include one tasty food to look forward to to keep you and your friends energized and happy.
4. Hit a Waterpark: Blizzard Beach is a place to go for the big kids, and little ones too. Be ready to rock and roll at Disneys other waterparks such as Typhoon Lagoon. If you're ready for one final bang this is it!

Disney Reccomendations

Have you ever been to Disney World in Florida? It's practically the best place on Earth! Now, what I'm doing is reccomending the best rides in Walt Disney World! Amazingly, my favorite three are all mountains, though you won't want to ride on them if you don't like roller coasters.
My number three favorite is The Thunder Mountain Railroad. This is a totally high speed adventure. After you board a large train you zoom down the mountain at a break-necking speed, being whipped around like a rag doll, and screaming your head off. By far, The Thunder Mountain Railroad is awesome.
My number two favorite is Splash Mountain. After boarding a small boat, you ride down a river, slowly gaining altitude. Though there are a few small drops in between, mostly, you watch small villages and happy animals frolic around. Finally, at the end, a drop that makes you almost fly out of your seat and scream as hard as you can, as you follow Brer Rabbit down into the Briar patch fifty feet below.
Now, my number one favorite, is Space Mountain. Nestled in the very back of Tomorrowland, Space Mountain is a break-neck adventure through pitch black darkness. You never ever know where you're going to go. Though you can sometimes see the track, most of this roller coaster offers surprises around every corner.
Truly, these three roller coasters offer every thing you can want, but there is even more Disney magic to spare. Ride, Pirates of the Caribean, or venture to Fantasyland, and ride in Peter Pan's pirate ship. Be ready to have lots of fun and board the boat of adventure, when you get on the Jungle Cruise and then take a stroll down Main Street, or watch a play in front of the castle!
As you walk through Disney, remember the fastpass service is very helpful. If there is a long line for a ride you want to go on, grab a Fastpass and get on through the Fastpass entrance, which gives you little or no wait time at all. You can do this on almost all of your favorite attractions, just insert your entrance ticket!
Even then, you haven't soaked up all the magic yet. Stay till closing time and watch the Fireworks show, Wishes, that lights up the sky every night. It is a totally beautiful sight, that is legendary, and beautiful to see.
I hope that you have a great time at Walt Disney World just like I did. All these rides and things can be found at the Magic Kingdom for everyone's fun. Though it is alot of money it's worth it, and I think you'll enjoy it just like I did.
Send me a comment about what you thought on your trip to Walt Disney World after you go, and tell me if you have an idea for any advice that I don't have on this post. The best advice, I will post on the Tween Scene later this month, with that person's nickname.
