MineCraft

MINECRAFT. Have you heard of of the game MineCraft? It is one of my favorite games to play. People say that it is a video game, but I think it is educational. Some schools even have kids play MineCraft in classes! MineCraft is a game where you create your own world. You have ten lives, and you can lose them if you fall from a high place, drown, get killed, stuff like in real life. The only thing that is not realistic in MineCraft is the mobs. Mobs are monsters that spawn in the dark. They are usually things like skeletons, zombies, spiders, creepers, etc. They all try to kill you. Another unrealistic thing is portals. We don't have portals on Earth...yet. Well, at least I hope so. Anyway, there is two game modes you can play in; survival, and creative. In creative mode, you have it all easy. You have access to every single block or thing in MineCraft, you can make portals, even fly! But in survival mode, you have to basically get everything by yourself: you have to hunt, make your own home, kill anything that attacks you, etc. Just like you would in real life. Well, except for you basically are born in the forest and have to go on from there. That is not realistic. Ok, one last thing; how you can play on MineCraft. You can play it on a iPad, Xbox 360,

iPhone, computer, phone, laptop, stuff like that.

Sooooooooooo that's pretty much all about                  Here's a pretty cool picture I found of

MineCraft, you can check it all out on YouTube.         something someone built in MineCraft:

Rainbow Loom

Stretch. Pull band over. Rainbow Loom bracelet! Rainbow Loom is awesome! It is one of my favorite things to do when I'm bored. I make bracelets, charms, pencil decorations, even barefoot sandals! Pretty much anyone can loom, just start out with the single chain bracelet and you can do much more from there. One of my favorite creations is the Flutterized Butterfly Pencil Hugger/Ring. It is SOOOOOOOO cool. But it is the hardest design that I have made with Rainbow Loom yet. But it is worth all the hard work. In the end, it turns out to be really pretty. You can make it into a ring, pencil hugger, charm, ring, bracelet, or necklace. Barefoot Sandals are also one of my favorites creations with Rainbow Loom. It isn't like a normal sandal, though. it has a pretty top that goes around your ankle and toe, but no bottom to it. SO pretty. You can check out Rainbow Loom designs on the internet and you can make them on YouTube. So the next time you feel bored, go make a beautiful and fun to make Rainbow Loom creation!

Cats

CATS OMGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE THEM SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!! So sorry about that, I just love them so much. They are my favorite animal/pet. Did you know that cats are originally from Egypt? You probably did. Cats are known for their awesome acrobatic bodies and amazing hearing. Cats can live up to sixteen years, which is only a little bit longer then a dog. The longest living cat on was named Creme Puff. She lived up to 38 years and three days. I know, right? SO LONG. Very impressive. There are about 200 cat breeds on Earth. Which is, when you think about it, a LOT compared to other things. Cats can weigh up to 9.9 pounds. However, the heaviest cat in the world weighed 21.3 lbs, and his name was Himmy. Impressive, too, but I hope he's OK. Now, you may be thinking, "Well, we know what cat lived the longest, but which cat breed tends to live the longest?" Good question. Well, Burmese cats tend usually live the longest, from 18-20 years. So if you want a nice cat that will keep you company for quite a long time, get a Burmese cat today! Sorry- I don't mean to sound like an advertiser but I love cats...so yeah. Well, that's pretty much the basics of cats, you don't exactly need to know anymore...unless you're a cat lover-like me. Here are some pictures of the cutest things on Earth (well, in my opinion):

March For Our Lives

On Saturday, March 24, I went to a march for gun safety. I really didn't want to go. I was afraid that there would be a shooter there. I even cried! But I still had to go. My family had to drive downtown to go to the Hemming Plaza where some kids and adults were giving speeches and singing songs. I kept cautiously looking around to see if anybody had a gun. But nobody did. Then a person came up on the platform where people had been singing songs and giving speeches. The person gave us a few chants to practice, and when we were done we started to march to the County Courthouse. I wasn't as scared as I was before I was there when we started to march with all those people, but I was still scared. While we all marched, we chanted several things, such as "Not One More!" and "Show Me What Democracy Look Like! This Is What Democracy Looks Like!" I felt a little proud to be there with my sign and chanting with all those people. It felt like a good and right thing to do. Once we all got to the County Courthouse, all of us stood in front of it and did more chants and took a picture of it to send to the local news so everybody could see how many people are fighting against guns. It was moving. After that, my family went home. After I had the experience, I wasn't so scared about it anymore. It had been a great experience, and a wonderful time. Here are some pictures of the march:

Ducks in the Pool

I love ducks and all, and cute little baby ducklings, but I like them out in nature where they belong, NOT in my POOL. These ducks (2 of them, a boy and a girl, probably a couple) keep coming in my pool, and it feels like EVERY FLIPPING 5 SECONDS!!! Every time they fly in the pool and start swimming, anyone in my family who is there starts throwing pinecones in the pool, getting a pool net, screaming at them, and god knows what else to get them away. Oh, and guess what else adds to the fun?! IT'S MATING SEASON!!! CURSE THE MATING SEASON!!! WHY?! Just why does it have to be this pool?! And if the ducks build a nest by the pool, were stuck with them because it's illegal to touch their nest!!! They will teach the cuuuuute little ducklings to swim...in OUR POOL!!! Awww, the little ducklings are so cute CURSE THEIR PARENTS!!! My mom says that she is going to buy these HUGE yellow balloons with big red and black eyes on them. Hopefully it will scare the ducks away. It's supposed to. They are called Scare Eye balloons and they look like this:

I know that they are supposed to freak the ducks out of the pool, and I hope they do, but honestly-they freak me out. Anyway, just warning anybody who has a pool and that it's mating season. For ducks, anyway. BEWARE THE DUCKS! And curse them, too. But not the ducklings.

Get Your Own Flipping Room

I come home from school
To hear a loud BOOM!
I run upstairs to find a mess,
Can't my sister get her own flipping room?

I often hear crashes and bashes and booms,
Through I really wish I could hear flowing lagoons.
How come my brother gets a nice queen bed
But I can't have my own flipping room?

Making messes is my sister's thing
And she does it in an instant- ZOOM!
Getting presents is nice, privileges too
But the first thing I need is my own flipping room.

"At least you don't share a bed with her"
says my mom referring to my sis (at night she spreads out and blooms)
If I honestly shared a bed with her, she'd just roll right off
Seriously, people, I'm not joking; I NEED MY OWN FLIPPING ROOM!

At last I'm in my cozy bed.
Ahhh, no more crashes and booms.
Oh god, she's snoring? You've got to be kidding me.
Why can't I just have my own flipping room?

Book Review: Are You There God, It's Me, Margaret

Date Finished: 12/30/17

Pages Read: 149

Rating: 7 out of 10

Genre: Realistic Fiction

Author: Judy Blume

Setting: School, Margaret's House, etc



Margaret Simon is 12 years old, and she just moved from New York to the suburbs. As anyone else would, she wants to fit in and have friends. And when she and her new friends form a secret club called the PTS's (Pre- Teen-Sensations) to talk about growing up girl stuff, Margaret decides to take part in it. In the club they have boy books, they have to wear bras, and if one of the girls gets her period, they have to tell each other what it was like. Even though it's great to talk about all this stuff with her friends, Margaret knows she can already talk to God about all this stuff. Anything that's on her mind-even wanting to grow. This book was good. I liked that it was about girls and puberty, because I will go through some of that stuff soon. This book made me think about what it will be like to start growing as a girl. My favorite part was when Margaret went to Norman Fishbein's party and played a game where she had to kiss a mystery guy. I think you would like this book if you are a girl and would like to know what it will be like when you start to grow up and go into puberty. I think the lesson in this book is, "It's okay to not have a religion and still talk to God."
