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.

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!
