Bully, meet your match!

I casually walked into Cose, my favorite restaurant. My handsome husband, Fiyero, walked beside me. We were going out for a fun night away from all the stress of work. We were seated right away, as there weren't many other people here tonight. I ordered a nice steak, and Fiyero ordered a rack of ribs. I smiled at him. We had so much money now, we both had raises at work. As we waited for our food, my eyes wandered around the place and I looked at the other people here. My eyes settled on one girl eating a skimpy salad all alone. I instantly recognized her. That was Elizabeth, the girl who always stole my lunch money! Fiyero saw me looking troubled, and said, "What's wrong Honey?" I quickly told him what I had seen. "Don't worry about it sweetheart," he said. All went well until later, when Elizabeth had the nerve to come up over to us! She smiled her icy smile. "Hi Chrys, how wonderful to see you," "Pleasure,"
I replied coldly. "Well, you look like you ate well," she said, eying our meal. Oh great. Now she was going to make me pay for a nice meal for her. Just like when I was a kid. No, I think. I won't stand for this. "Well, we did, thank you! So kind of you to notice! Looks like all that lunch money you stole from me isn't helping you know. Sometimes I wonder why you did it. Oh yes, now I remember. Because you're an insecure, stubborn little scorch. Have a wonderful day." I replied sharply. Fiyero and I paid and left Cose. We were smiling all the way.

Life as a Playground.

Many situations in life can be compared to those situations on a playground. For instance, you have the best points in life when you feel on top of everything. This is when you're at the top of the slide. Then, someone or something, pushes you down, and you slide down the Slide of Depression. You can stay down there for as long as you want. Soon enough, you climb up the Ladder of Hard Work. This is where you work up the nerve to work hard and try to get back up to the top. Sometimes you make it. Other times you fall, and end up at the bottom again.  No matter, eventually you will make it. Congrats! You are at the high point of life again. Only you can decide how long you stay up there.

My Fav Book

Books are great! They can take you to different worlds, and make you feel apart of the story. My favorite book when I was younger was Peter Pan. I loved that book so much that I used to act out the different parts. This may be why I love acting today. I watched the movie over and over again. I just felt so included in the story, like I was right there, flying along side all of them. The book gave me the outline, my imagination did the rest. I read alot, and it rarely happens that I feel really included.
This book was definitely special to me then, but it's still special to me now.

**THE END**

Memory, Disapear!!!!!

Arrrgggghhhh, my brain needs a shower! I absolutely HATE remembering this! Ok, so, once, when I was in a show, my friends and I had the great idea to throw glitter on one of my friends, who just so happens to hate glitter. Oh, we're so smart. NOT. It was at the cast party, so he was just getting his food when we threw the glitter. He stopped, and said slowly, "You got glitter on my food." I tried give him a hug to make him feel better, but he pushed me away. I felt sooooo guilty! I went up to the bathroom and cried for like 10 minutes. That is one experience that I could have done without. I still feel bad! So now when I see him at school, I make sure to NOT splash him with glitter. Lesson well learned.
