I entered a contest called: Join the Pack and here is what it said. I won baby! I WON!!

"Humane Sacrifice, was extreamly well written. It was great to say it simply. Then Three wolves on the move was very nice as well, good sense of emotion and intense time and effort was put into it. Beast inside was fairly well there was something missing I can't point out. But I thought it was really good still. And last but not least Nicholas Fang: Mooning::Chapter 1: Isolation, which probably deserves mroe credit then I gave it, although I can't have two bronzes now can I? Sorry if I disappointed some of you, you were all super though!", O-Kun



I also have complete copyright to my work. }:)
Can't wait to get in book form.
Well, that's all I can think about saying for now! BYE!

5/17/08

Today is the 17th. I know that I have not written anything since May 5, but I have to say that, between homework, eating, tennis, and band; I never got the time to blog.
Many things have happened since the last time I wrote on my blog. I mean I went to Splash Town, due to the band field trip, and I also have been working on my books: the Werewolf story and the Dark Poetry Novel. I also have been working out. I realized I can finally do pull ups. To those of you who scoff, I don't care, for I am proud, since I could never do pull ups before. Well, bygones are bygones, and so we move on...I mean back.
Okay, let's start with school. Mrs. Rockey's rampage receded. I know that it was our fault. I mean, she let us off without homework so we could be kids, and we began to neglect her Language Arts class. That got her mad, and I can understand why. It must have been a slap in the face, when we did not give a *beep* about her class. I mean how would you feel if you did something for a friend, and they took you for granted and treated you like trash. So we apologized for our behavior and promised not to do it again. I was like, "Thank God, it's over!", and that was the end of that.
I have been doing pretty good with my life. I have gotten much better at basketball, and now I get to be team captain in P.E. or I am chosen much more quickly when the other Team Captains are choosing the players. But most of the time, we play street ball instead of basketball. There been three incidents when my nose has almost been broken. However, no pain, no gain; and I have gained more skill than I think I ever had in the past few years.
My minicourse, which is Galveston Bay, is taught by Mrs. Garcia. It is also one of the most enjoyable course you can take. We go bird watching, catch grasshoppers, learn about the environment, and we are going to go on a field trip to Galveston Bay! Hooray!!!
Now we move on to Splash Town. IT WAS AMAZING!! I mean, I have never gone their before. Mitchell, Bhaanu, Dillon, Rohan, and I were talking throughout the whole time the bus was carrying us. Yet, we had to split up when got there, since we thought it would be more fun that way. So, Bhaanu, Dillon, and Mitchell went one way; and Rohan and I went another. The rides were completely amazing. The Twister, the Toilet Bowl, the Texas Free Fall, and many others that were just as great, but which I could not remember the names of. The Texas Free Fall was the most thrilling ride I could ever have the pleasure of riding in. The first three seconds , when you fall from 100 feet and you feel nothing underneath you feet, are the scariest moments of your life, but when you go so fast in two more seconds the ride is over. The worst part is just waiting in line, and feeling the platform shake. It is when you are trapped in your own mind. When you are your own enemy, there is no escape at all. Then there was the tidal wave pool. Another that was just as creepy when the waves were coming up. Rohan, some other kid, and I almost drowned in there. I was choking on the water, so I climbed up a ladder, yet stayed in the pool. Some other kid was drowning, and he needed to use the ladder, which I was blocking. Since he could not reach it, he grabbed Rohan who started drowning too. Then the life pushed me away, and I started drowning, but then he saved all of us, and told me not to block the ladder again. Well...that's all I can say about that.
I also decided to join Orchestra next year. So, my electives will be Orchestra and Band when I am in Eighth Grade.
That is pretty much it. See you again, next time!!

There isn't much to do today. I have a Social Studies test tomorrow, and I have to work on my Algebra homework. I am working on the Werewolf story (almost finished with Chapter 2), and I am working on my dark poetry novel. Good luck to my editors.

5/4/08

Today was pretty exciting, considering other days. I got up at 10:00, brushed my teeth, went to the john, and took a bath. After that we left for the temple, but before we did that, I chatted with Rohan Limaye. He reminded me that today was May 4: the day when the Houston Yacht Club party took place. I panicked, since I was worried that we would miss it, but was a little reassured when Rohan Limaye told me he would be arriving at 2:50. The party took place from 2:00 to 5:00, so we had to budget our time. After going to the temple, praying, and getting some Idlis and Dosa (Indian food), we left as quickly as we could and arrived back home. I got into my swimming shorts, and hopped into the car.
We arrived at the Houston Yacht Club at 3:07. I ran out of the car, took my shirt off, and dove into the 8ft pool. Chills were sent down back, and I felt as if I had just dove into a bucket of ice. Waves crashed down my body sending it deeper into the pool, but I pushed against the force and rose up to the surface as fast as a bullet. After watching a people jump off the pool's diving board, I decided I would join them. I dragged myself out of the pool, went to wait in the line, and when I was ready to go, I hopped onto the board and cannonballed into the ice cold water. As the water stung my back and chlorine did the same to my nostrils, my rear end bumped against the bottom of the pool. I looked up and saw and amazing sight. I could see the sky reflected off of the liquid. I released my legs from my chest and used them to push off of the bottom of the pool, and I shot upwards, once more. I spotted a few faces that I knew, in the pool. I saw Rashmi, Priyanka, and Javier. After I got out of the pool, I saw Mitchell, Bhaanu, Ryan, Emory, Mary, Hunter, Ross, and Matthew Casso and Counts. Mitchell and I went to go kayaking, but the list was full and the big boats were coming so they had to stop people from going. A little downhearted, we went to go fishing, but as Mitchell and I got the bait, tools, and fishing rod out of the van, my spirits immediately rose up. Sadly, this was my first time fishing. We ran to a pier that we had spotted earlier, and we yelled shock when we saw how unstable the thing was. It swayed underneath our feet. After we got the hooks and bait set up, Mitchell taught me how to cast. I got the fishing line tangled on my first try, but that was not unusual, and so I tried once more. After a set of new string, and a few "ouch"es, I could cast pretty well. After about half an hour, Bhaanu and Ryan joined us. We never did catch any fish, but the experience was quite memorable.
After that I left, and now I am writing this, and working on my Social Studies review. Well, I have to go now. See you later.
