This is the best blog, ever.

So, it’s the second period of the day and I’m already not looking forward to the rest of the school. It’s not that schools boring or something, it’s actually going by pretty fast. It’s about the fact that I’m basically asleep right now. Ah! I’m so tired! Anyways, today I have a basketball game and I’m not sure how I feel about that. Like, I mean, I like basketball, but it’s just that I might be too lazy to play. Haha, but yeah, I’m still exciting. Hey, speaking of basketball, we had a game this Friday against Hopkinton, the first game of the year actually, and we won! It’s so moving, I know. And it’s pretty sick because we were the only Holliston basketball team to win on Friday. But, anyways I was surprised by our victory because the night before the game, we had practice. And let me tell ya, it was not a good practice. So many errors were being made, we were messing up on all of our plays, it was crazy. But unexpectedly in the game, everything started to click.  We got all of our plays down, and we were making good decisions. Haha, and yeah, it was good. Today, we are playing Medfield, and they are BIG! A few people from Medfield played on my AAU team, and they are amazing!  But you know what, we can take them… I guess. Ha, so anyways I don’t really know what I’m going to type about next. I’m just kind of going on about nothing so I can get 500 words. Justin just said “it’s a banana smoothie background!” haha, I thought that was funny. Okay, so this is kind of embarrassing, but I just forgot how to spell banana. So, I just started to sing hollaback girl in my head, and then I remembered, it’s B-A-N-A-N-A. Right now its 9:44, and class ends at 10:08, and I’m quite excited because that means I have DSB next. I can sleep in DSB, so basically life is great. Oh my god! You know what I just noticed! Christmas is really soon, in like 9 days or so! I’m supa pumped! I love Christmas. So, last weekend my mom decorated the house, and it looks really good. We also got a tree and started to decorate it. But this weekend, I’m having my friends over to bake, and decorate the tree even more. I know that sounds kind of, really stupid, but it wasn’t my idea, I swear. My friends actually wanted to come over and do that, so hey, why not? Okay, so anyways I have these 3 friends, I’ve known for a while, and a few years ago, our families became really good friends. So basically we hang out a lot. So, on Saturday, we all went to this place like one hour away, and yeah. This place was like this huge place that had like a bunch of lights! It was so cool. As you can see, I’m not really good a describing things. But yeah, so I think I’ve reached 500 words. So I’ll catch up with you next week!

Christmas songs!

Lyrics to the christmas shoes-

It was almost Christmas time
There I stood in another line
Trying to buy that last gift or two
I’m really in the Christmas mood
Standing right in front of me
Was a little boy waiting anxiously
Pacing around like little boys do
And in his hands he held
A pair of shoes

And his clothes were worn and old
He was dirty from head to toe
And when it came his time to pay
I couldn’t believe what I heard him say

Sir I wanna buy these shoes for my Momma please
It’s Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry Sir?
Daddy says there’s not much time
You see, she’s been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes will make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful
If Momma meets Jesus, tonight.

They counted pennies for what seem like years
And cashier says son there’s not enough here
He searches is pockets franticly
And he turned and he looked at me
And he said Momma made Christmas good at our house
Most years she just did without
Tell me Sir
What am I gonna do?
Some how I’ve got to buy her these Christmas shoes

So I layed the money down
I just had to help him out
And I’ll never forget
The look on his face
When he said Momma’s gonna look so great.

Sir I wanna buy these shoes, for my Momma please
It’s Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry Sir?
Daddy says there’s not much time
You see, she’s been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes will make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful,
If Momma meets Jesus tonight.

I knew I caught a glimpse of heavens love as he thanked me and ran out.
I know that God had sent that little boy to remind me
What Christmas is all about

Sir I wanna buy these shoes for my Momma please
It’s Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry Sir?
Daddy says there’s not much time
You see she’s been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes will make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful
If Momma meets Jesus tonight

I want her to look beautiful
If Momma meets Jesus tonight

Lyrics to Mistletoe :
Great
Fake plastic Mistletoe
Wrap me in a great big bow
And tear me apart

It’s Christmas time
So open up the flood gates
Tell me that you’ll be late
And rip me apart

Cause you say that, you say that things will be alright
But I’ve heard that, I’ve heard that so many times and I know that

It’s not Christmas if the snow don’t fall
And I’m still standing here three feet small
Lose our troubles because after all
It’s Christmas time

It’s Christmas time…

Cold
Icing on the walkways
Slip in to the games we play
We’re falling apart

A great big house
That’s made out of ginger bread
Crumbles to the ground
We’re breaking apart

But you said that, you said that things would be alright
But I’ve heard that, I’ve heard that so many times and I know that

It’s not Christmas if the snow don’t fall
And I’m still standing here three feet small
Lose our troubles because after all
It’s Christmas time

And I’ve been waiting for you to come
And it’s hard cause I feel so alone
And I just want you to come home

Waiting for you to come
And it’s hard cause I feel so alone
And I just want you to come home

It’s not Christmas if the snow don’t fall
And I’m still standing here three feet small
Lose our troubles because after all
It’s Christmas time

It’s not Christmas if the snow don’t fall
You’re not here to keep me safe and warm
Lose our troubles because after all
It’s Christmas time

It’s Christmas time again
And all your friends, all your friends
Are smiling
It’s Christmas time

 

 

 

Priscilla and the Wimps Essay.

Jackie Sostilio

Mrs. Meo

December 3, 2008

                                         The Case of Priscilla

Ladies and Gentlemen of the Jury, I Jackie Sostilio, am here today to present the case of Massachusetts vs. Priscilla Roseberry. I believe that Priscilla should not be charged with any accusation such as second degree murder, because simply, she did not kill Monk Klutter.

As many of you many not know, Monk Klutter ran a very intimidating gang. “The gang he ran, which ran the school for him, was his collection agency. They were Klutter’s Kobras, a name spelled out in nailheads on six well known black plastic windbreakers” (Polk 6). Not only that, but Monk and his gang’s outer appearance is just as terrifying as a monster is to a young child. “A pine-lined suede battle jacket with lizard skin flaps over tailored Levis and a pair of ostrich-skin boots, brassed-toed and suitable for kicking people around.”(6). From this, one can conclude that these kids were bullies, mean, cruel, unjust, bullies. Yes, I know. This is still not enough information to prove Pricilla innocent, but I’m just getting started. The Kobras were so dangerous that they left their marks on every kid, for example, “practically every guy in school could show you his scars”(6), and even worse, “lumps, lacerations, blue bruises, you name it”(6) were visible in the shower room. This goes to show that Monk and the Kobras were not only hazardous to a certain person in particular, but to the whole school. All of this evidence just further proves my point.

I strongly believe that Pricilla was just a nice, innocent girl who didn’t mean any harm. “Pricilla wasn’t inclined towards organized crime. Otherwise, she could have put together a gang that would turn Klutter’s Kobras into gardener snakes” (6). Therefore basically this is saying that Pricilla is completely against violence, but if she was not, she would make the Kobras have a run for their money. “If there was anyone that didn’t notice Klutter’s Kobras, it was Pricilla.” This goes to show that she never even realized that they were there, so she obviously meant no harm. I think what phased me the most about this whole thing was that Monk had the nerve to “reach down and grab little Melvin (Pricilla’s best, and only friend for that matter) by the neck and slam his head against the locker door” (7) Picture young, small, blameless boy, Melvin would fit your image exactly. “Melvin’s one of the smallest guys above midget status ever seen” (6) Lastly, the most obscene thing was, “The sound of skull against the steel rippled all the way down, the locker row, speeding the crowds on their way”(7).

 I bet you all experienced being bullied, or have seen someone you know suffering from getting picked on. Picking on people that have done nothing to you, ever, is just wrong. And using violence too? That is just simply too dangerous and that crosses the line. Pricilla should not be found guilty because she was defending not only Melvin and her own safety, but also the safety of the school as well. How ironic is this, “It snows that night, a blizzard. The whole town ices up. And school closes for a week” (7). Although she left him in a locker, no one knew that school was going to be canceled for a week. I mean, No one can predict the future, so not even Pricilla knew what was going to happen. Therefore she didn’t intentionally kill Monk Klutter. “Listen; there was a time when you couldn’t even go to the rest to the restroom around school without a pass” (6). 

Random

Ahh! Another 500 words we need to write this week. I thought that since I’m extremely stuck on what to blog about, I’ll just write about my week. Simple enough.

Today is Tuesday November 25, 2008 which means tomorrow is Wednesday, and I am pumped! You see, this week we only have 2 full days of school(monday and tuesday) and we have a half day Wednesday, which is rather exciting. Also on Wednesday classes are extremely short due to the pep rally. I wonder what the pep rally is going to be like.. I know that senior football players are doing dances with the cheerleaders. I guess that will be fun to watch. Also, the students get to vote on a teacher who has to wear the panther uniform(our mascott). Haha, i think that is going to be hilarious, especially if I know the teacher. 

Thanksgiving is on Thursday am I’m looking forward to seeing all of my realitives. But, every year my sister, my dad and I run in a thanksgiving day race. Usually, I’m excited to run and eat afterwards but this year is different. I played volleyball in the fall, which does not require much running. In the past years I’ve played soccer which does require a lot of running. So, i feel like I’m really, really out of shape. But hey, on the bright side the race is getting me prepared for basketball tryouts and after that, I won’t feel too guilty about eating a lot of food.

Next is friday. Friday is my best friends birthday. She is inviting a few friends over and then we are going to see twlight. I have already seen twilight and I must say, it’s a pretty good movie. But anyways, I’m kind of nervous she might not like my gift. She told me that she wanted this, but she might have told many other people the same thing. Also, it comes in many different styles, and colors and such that I hope she likes the pattern i have choosen.

I don’t think that anyone cares about my week, but I need to make this blog at least 500 words. So, i’ll tell you more.

Hmm, what am I doing on Saturday? Oh right. Well i believe I’m going out to dinner with my friends, and then going back to their house. That will be fun I guess since I haven’t seen them in a bit. 100 more!

Next comes Sunday…Sunday Sunday Sunday. I hate Sundays. Usually on Sundays I’m bored out of my mind! This is usually because I do all my homework then, but not this Sunday. You see, due to the fact that I have basketball tryouts on Monday, I’ll most likely be practicing basketball for the whole morning and somewhat of the afternoon. Also, on Sunday, My friend gets home from New York so I’m excited to see her.

Well, i only have twenty more words to write, so I think it’s time that I conclude this blog now. So, yeah. That’s basically my week for you.

Harry Potter

 Well, I have to be honest with you. My teacher is assigning a project where we have to blog or log about a subject. After she said that, my mind went blank, I couldn’t think of anything to write about. So, jokingly I yelled out, “Harry Potter!” Now, all eyes were on me. There are these two; lets just say somewhat immature boys in my class who decided that they were going to base their blog on all the negative traits about Harry Potter. So due to them, my blog is going to be about the amazing things about Harry Potter.

For those who aren’t familiar with Harry Potter, It is a series of books that covers seven years in the life of the lonely orphan who, on his eleventh birthday learns that he is a wizard. He attends Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to learn Magic. Under the guidance of the headmaster Dumbledore, Harry discovers that he is already famous throughout the Wizarding world, and that his fate is tied with that of Lord Voldemort. Lord Voldemort is the universally feared dark wizard who killed Harry’s mother and father.

Harry Potter is a book written by Joanne Rowling who writes under her pen name J.K Rowling. J.K Rowling is a British author who, of course, is best known as the creator of the Harry Potter Series. Her Harry Potter books have gained worldwide attention, won multiple awards, and sold more than four thousand copies.

Harry Potter is an extraordinary fictional character that could basically be labeled a superhero. I mean, after all, in every book and movie he always saves the day. Although he doesn’t have super powers, he happens to be a wizard, so therefore he can use magic. And no, magic is not wimpy. I personally would love to be magical, and I know many more people would love to have any sort of magical powers.

Harry Potter has a very interesting appearance that makes him extremely unique. What person has a lightning bolt scar on their forehead? Not only is his scar awesome, but he also makes circular glasses look good. For a guy, Harry Potter has style.

There are many characters in Harry Potter that without them, the books wouldn’t be complete. Some characters include; Dumbledore, Hagrid, Hermine, Ron, and of course Harry Potter. Hermine and Ron are the first people that Harry met had Hogwarts and they also happen to be his best friends. Together, Ron, Harry and Hermine share many interesting adventures. Next, there is Dumbledore. For a majority of the series, Dumblore is the headmaster of Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Also as a quick side note, Dumblore is the founder, and the leader of an organization known as the Order of the Phoenix, an organization dedicated for fighting off Lord Voldemort. Hagrid is half giant, and the Keeper of Keys and Grounds. Hagrid acts as a friend towards Harry, whenever there is something wrong, Hagrid always knows what to do.

So basically, as one can see, Harry Potter consists of many more positive traits, than bad things about him.
