My oh so fat love.

Now most of the people reading this have a pet at home; dogs, cats, fish, or a bird. For the most part normal pets. I have a cat named Louie, he is a little over a year old, and I love him very much. But one thing you should know about my pet cat, is that he eats…… A LOT, way more than a normal cat should. Like I said before he is only a little over a year old, and he weighs almost 30 pounds now. He gains another four five pounds every week. I honestly think it’s getting a little out of control, I mean my family and I have tried to take some food away, or feed him diet food to minimize his consumption of food but whenever his bowl is not filled to the rim, he meows until the cows come home! And believe me it is not easy to ignore when he sits outside your door until you come out, and then when you do, runs in and out of your feet until you fall flat on your face, or trip down the stairs. He is very cute, and cuddly, and adorable, but oh what a pain in the neck he is! My dad gets so mad at him sometimes he throws him out of the house and he can only come back in when he’s gone. It’s upsetting but funny at the same time.

Another major factor about my cat is that he is very very stupid. Like, runs himself into walls stupid, sits in his water bowl stupid, and jumps on the corner of a glass table and makes it tip and shatter all over the floor stupid. My family has free entertainment night and day just watching my cat try and jump onto the couch, but fails because he’s so fat. There are many stories that I could tell you that made me just about pee my pants it was so funny, things that the dumb butt has done and very sweet and not so sweet memories I have with him. One bad thing about him is that he likes to mark his territory if you know what I mean, and it is always in the most public place or on a carpet. And of course I and my little sister are the ones to clean it up. Not my favorite thing in the world to do.

Rwandan Genocide Debate

Sitting forward with a stern look on my face, concentrating on listening to the debate going back and forth between Belgium and every other representative, or Romeo Dellaire to the USA or the UN, trying to catch all the details of who did what and who deserves to die.

My country was France, not a major role in the debate and not normally one that the finger was being pointed at. I was glad I wasn’t a take part in this because I would rather sit back and listen to what the others have to say. If I had to say something to defend myself…. Excuse me…. My country, I did and I did it with full confidence. In my eyes, the cause of this whole genocide is Belgium giving identity cards based on the things you own, creating the whole idea of who was better the Hutus or the Tutsis, and then leaving them when things started to get messy.

I believe that the Tutsis did shoot down Juvenal Habyarimanas plane, and the Hutus had a right to be mad. Yes, I also think they were brainwashed by the radios to kill or be killed, but after Juvenal died, who was encouraging them then?



Now the USA and the UN claim they didn’t do anything because they were scared and didn’t want to be embarrassed by their soldiers, and that’s their reason why they didn’t do anything. But yes I believe that the USA does not have to take part and rescue every world tragedy, but they could have at least put up posters, or made a comment or something to help a small percentage.

The American Scholar; Do we have names?

Emerson’s argument in “The American Scholar” that man would only be known as the job they do and that is still true today.
Emerson’s argument is still true today because it is right in front of our faces. Every morning if you wake up to watch the news and they are talking about a police case, the person giving the story will refer to the men and woman working on the case as “police men”, and they will usually only give the names of some of them if they did something heroic or they are the police chiefs or something like they and they are something meaningful to the case. They only recognize them as police not as people. In “The American Scholar” Emerson says, “In the degenerate state, when the victim of society, he tends to become a mere thinker, or still worse, the parrot of other men’s thinking.” And in my eyes what he means by that is once somebody goes into a certain field of profession, they can only think along the lines of what their job is.
I believe that we should change these thinking’s that is in society, a reason why is that my dad is the vice president of a steel tubing mill in Detroit, but on the side he is a race car driver. If I tell my friends or teachers that my dad is a race car driver, they only see him as a race car driver, not as a nice man or funny or anything, they just say, “Heathers dad is a race car driver.” And I think that shouldn’t just be the case, he should be known for his actual job because he is good at it, and he should be acknowledge for doing a good job.

Have a nice trip, see you next fall!

Orange, yellow, red, and brown. The colors of fall. Oh how I love it! The smell of the new freshly fallen leaves and the cool crisp air dewing the grass every morning, ahhhh can’t get any better than that. I may not be seven anymore, and my parents will not rake the leaves for me and my friends to jump in, but that doesn’t mean I can’t rake the leaves for me and my friends to jump in! I hate raking the leaves, but I love jumping in, it’s a lot of fun. I don’t like getting the leaves down my clothes either, because they are all dead and crumbly and they always seem to break apart in my clothes to make me really itch. I dislike it very much.
One of the main things I don’t like about fall is the insanely cold mornings. I hated mornings even in the summer, but cold mornings, man they really tick me off. I love sleep, and getting up out from under my three covers and sheets and nice comfy pj pants and sweatshirt, does not start me off to a good mood; my house is freezing!I hate the cold, that’s why when I move away I can guarantee it will be to somewhere to like, Florida; nice warm weather. Ahhhh I can feel the sun now soaking on my face.
Warm weather may be nice, but fall has amazing things that is big in my life, like Halloween! I love Halloween, and all the decorations and parties that go along with it. Going all out for Halloween is what I love doing, like my costume, how the outside of my house looks, how the inside of my house looks, even my friends and families costume, I would give them hints and pointers on how they can make their costume even more cuter, funnier, scarier, or just all around better.
But being outside, on a semi-warm afternoon, hanging out with friends around a bon fire in jeans and a sweat shirt, just talking and laughing and having a good ‘ol time, really makes me smile just thinking about it. Especially the roasting marshmallows part. Yummmmmm! I also really love the smell of a bon fire, it makes me think of outside, and enjoying the nice weather while we still have it and before the thick sheets of white frozen rain comes crashing down on my oh so fabulous dreams of clear skies and warm temperatures.

Halloween, Oh how i love the screams(:

Halloween has always been my favorite holiday; the costumes, the late nights with friends, and of course, the candy! Who wouldn’t pass up an opportunity to get some free candy and scare the pajeebers out of your little siblings or princess neighbors? I wouldn’t that’s for sure. My favorite candy probably is payday, or 3 musketeers. Yummy yum yummmm. Payday because I love anything with salt, it’s totally unhealthy but I really don’t give a crap, it’s good so I will eat it! And the 3 musketeers…. I mean come on I haven’t met someone yet who doesn’t like those things! But the most original Halloween candy would have to be the candy corn, the white yellow and orange triangles are addicting like no other, and with no shame I can say that I alone have finished off a good store bought bag of those. Man oh man was that a good lazy day.

This Halloween I am extremely excited because I have a simple yet amazing costume. I am being a kitty cat, my apparel; black t-shirt, black shorts, black tights, ugg boots, eyeliner whiskers, cheapo cat ears…. And cat eyes, yes that’s right. Cat. Eyes. I bought cat eye contacts from online(http://www.amazingeyez.com/CatShaped.html) and I am very pleased with how they turned out. When I wore them to school all my friends and teachers got a kick out of them, I loved seeing everyone’s reactions. I even got a couple screams, one including my Spanish teacher Ms.Wylie. Now to multiple people I am considered cat eyes, or crazy eyes, I find it kind of funny myself.

This Halloween weekend is bound to be a great one, my schedule is jam packed so I have no spare time at all, those kinds of things are very unpleasing to my mom, you know the one that has to drive me all these places. Today, Friday night, I am first going to the varsity game because yes thank god were in the playoffs. At half time I am going back with my friend Maria Riggi and we are going to be getting into our costumes (My kitty cat, and her cute bubble bee.) then heading down the street to our friend Paige’s house for her Halloween bash. Afterwards, going back to Marias for a slumber party! Joy! Early morning waking up to head out with my chica (Maria) for open gym, then her dad is taking us out for lunch because it’s her birthday. After we finish, heading to my place for yet again, ANOTHER PARTY! This one is my friend Jessie’s but she goes to Franklin, her parties are the best I’m tellin ya. And once again, heading to my house for, again, a slumber party, but possibly this time Kassidy, our other friend, may be coming over too. So my weekend is pretty busy as you can see. So Sunday, I plan on laundry, homework, and reruns of Halloween movies all, day, long.

Global Warming!

Global warming has been a problem around the world for many years now. The idea started a while back when scientist noticed that temperatures were rising, along with the water levels, and the ice caps were melting drastically causing the water levels to rise!

But the thing that everyone says the cause of it is the gases in the biosphere, that is piled on every day by cars exhaust and many human resources that we just can’t seem to stop doing. Many Americans today say that they want to stop global warming, and they want to start going green. But most Americans are the cause of global warming by releasing gases into the air just by living our daily lives; driving cars, pumping gas, and companies being waste less with gases they release. These gases are called green house gases, and they have raised so much in the past 650,000 years.
The “Green house effect” is when certain gases are trapped into the atmosphere and it traps the heat inside. What also happens is that the atmosphere lets in the light so it can reach the surface of the earth, but then when it reflects back, the heat can’t escape and its trapped inside to heat the earth up some more.Scientist have been studying this green house effect since 1824, because a scientist concluded that the earth would be much colder without an atmosphere, but the atmosphere its self is what makes the earth livable. Scientist have noticed in the past thousands of years we have been giving off more gases into the atmosphere there for raising temperatures because the gases, turned into heat, is being trapped inside.

Scientists have spent decades trying to figure out what has caused this global warm up, and the only possible conclusion is that we have caused it, by releasing greenhouse gases (GHGs). Some scientists get together every few years and track how far this has gone and they review how it could have happened. The most come from the combustion of fossil fuels in cars, factories, and electricity production. The most responsible is carbon dioxide, or CO2. Some of the effects from global warming are as follows; ice melting world wide, sea level rise become faster each year, some species of animals and insects are moving farther north or to higher cooler regions, and rain and snowfall has increased across the globe on average. Some things that could happen are; stronger and harder hurricanes and other storms, floods and droughts would be more common, and more diseases would spread like malaria.

cheerr((:

Cheerleading is my life. It’s been my life ever since I was in 4th grade and ever since then I have been an addict. When I say that cheerleading is my life I’m not being sarcastic or over estimating, I really do mean it’s my life, cheer practice is everyday but Friday through Sunday, and all the games we have every Thursday, are very exciting. Everybody comes to the games to cheer us on while we cheer the football players on. Even though our team isn’t that good we still give it our all every game.

Every practice we have, we work on our stunting, our jumps, our voices, our motions, splits and tumbling. Tumbling is my favorite, because I love tumbling. I just got my new skill recently and all I want to do is practice it nonstop! Even though it takes a lot out of us when we have a lot of conditioning I know it’s only better for us. Just to help us. Practice is always fun for me, everyone else would complain and say it’s too hard or they don’t want to be there, I always want to be there, improving is all I want to do. Being better at what I can be better at is all I want to do. My stunt group keeps on moving up on our goals; right now, we just got our basket toss, our lib switch foot, and our cubie full. That’s pretty good for freshmen, and me and one other girl both have our round off back hand spring back tuck solid, and varsity girls don’t even have that, so it’s pretty good.

I’m even more excited to start working on my layout soon. I’ve wanted to start working on it forever, like, two years. So I am very excited.My mom and I always make bets, she in a way, bribes me to reach for higher skills; if I get my layout solid, she will pay me $30.00. If I get my Arielle, she will pay me $25.00. And if I get my front walk over, she will pay me $10.00. So when I get a new skill I get even more excited about everything I do. The only reason my mom pays me to do it is because she wants me to get the skills like I was her when she was little. She says to me that she never had the opportunity so she wants to give it to me so I can have those amazing experiences of being able to do things no one else can on a normal bases.

first day(first draft)

You push, then get pushed yourself. You try and run ahead, all you get is yelled at and pushed right back to where you were again. So you have no other choice but to stand there and gladly wait your turn for your personal space back. It’s like trying to fit sumo wrestlers in a clown car! You can’t even take a deep breath without the person next to you thinking you tried to shove you way through. I finally understand what everyone means when they say “packed like sardines.” I’m also guessing it’s what my mom feels like in rush hour, but she has cars in between her and the person behind and in front of her. For me however, it’s person to person, body to body, and even stranger to stranger. But don’t take my word for it; I’m just explaining my feelings as everybody waits in the hallways to scurry like little mice around the school until finally emerging through the door of your next class. When you finally get out of the human traffic jam, you have that satisfying feeling of freedom. Not in an overly jumping up and down kind of way, but in a smile at yourself because the worst part is over kind of way. That’s what it feels like to have a steady path again and you can see the floor at least three feet in front of you. Now getting stuck in the hallway may be a bummer, but it’s just another part of high school, along with the devil in disguise teachers, the long nights of homework, and who could forget the kids who have a secret fear of being nice to others? But because of my amazing friends, my friendly and caring teachers, and full confidence in myself; I know I will be able to overcome this foggy path that is hard to get through but we’re all well up for the challenge.

A, I Heather Jaynes, am very athletic, and very amusing. I love to exersize and I am always moving. Sports are very fun to me and I’m always up to try something new. I am considered amusing to others because I’m usually the first one to start a new conversation on something totally off the subject, I say the most random things and I am not afraid of making a fool of myself in public because my friends just think it’s funny and I love to make them laugh.

B, I am very bubbly and doing back flips is one of my favorite things to do at cheer practice. I’m always in a happy and cheerful mood, I always turn my friends frowns upside down and just make them pee their pants when they are having the worst day because I make them laugh so much. Ever since I learned how to do a back flip, or as my coaches call it a back tuck, I fell in love with the feeling of doing it. Ever opertunity I get I always jump up and practice it some more.

C,I am very confident and I am a very ambisous cheerleader. I never feel uncomfertable about myself in any place or situation. I always hold my head up high to everything I do, and everything I say. Cheerleading has been my life ever since I started on the Livonia Orioles in 4th grade. I have stuck with it because it is my passion.

D, I am a very determinded person. I always stick with what I say and always am not happy untill I get what I want.

E, I am entertaining and I always wear earrings. I always love to be the life of the party, and i love wearing my earrings because they are all so pretty.

F, I am the funnest person you will ever meet, and one of my favorite bands is Fallbrooke. I can do just about anything to have fun, anything at all you give me and I will do. Fallbrooke is an amazing band, and their lead singer Eric McNeely is one of the cutest guys I've seen in my life.

G, I am sometimes very gullible. I sometimes tend to fall for the stupidest tricks and not on perpose. But sometimes I pretend I don't know just to get my friends to laugh.

H, I am hardworking. I usually tend to get to the point on anything and am not satisfied until the job is done.

I, I am intelligent. I may not always seem like the brightest crayon in the box, but I have my book smarts and my street smarts, they even out very well.

J, I love to jump at cheer, and I love jolly ranchers. Jumps at cheer take a lot of work, but they are a lot of fun, toetouches are my favorite. My favorite flavor of jolly ranchers is blue raspberry.

K, I am kind, and I've always wanted to take up karate. I love to help people in need, and always start off on the right foot with a great first impression on everyone i meet. Karate always seemed really cool to me and I always think I would be good at it, so I want to try it some day.

L, I am loving and I hate lemon heads. I always tell my friends and family how much i love them, because I have such a big heart. To me lemon heads are really gross, and taste nasty. Everyone calls me crazy for not liking them.

M, I am additected to make up and I love my moms blueberry muffin cookies. I wear make up everyday, only eyeliner though because eye shadow and blush and all of that seems too much for me. My moms blueberry muffin cookies are the best things in the world, one day I will bring some into the class for people to try.

N, I am not very neat at all. My room is probably never clean like it should be and I always tend to lose things very easily. I am working on becoming more organized.

O, I am very outgoing and my favorite place to be is outside. I love to talk to random people and always seem to make new friends where ever I go. I have always loved outside all of my life, I like to spend some summer days just sitting outside in the shade doing nothing but relaxing.

P, I am a very patention person. I can wait forever for anything, unlike the rest of my family who is always in a rush, I like to spend some time just sitting and taking a second to breathe.

Q, I am not quiet at all. Quiet would be the straight opposite of me, anyone who knows me wishes I would be quiet sometimes but that probably will never happen.

R, I love to run and my little sisters hair is red. I never was in cross country or anything but I love to run around my neighborhood sometimes. My little sister and I look nothing alike, she has red hair and green eyes, and I have blonde hair and blue eyes.

S, I am very secretive and sometimes sensitive. I don't really like to share many of my secrets with anyone because I have terrible trust issues. Sometimes I am the easiest person to make cry, it really makes me mad sometimes.

T, I am trustworthy and I love to do my tuck. I keep everyones secrets, I know many and I never tell. My back tuck on cheer is my favorite thing to do at cheer right before jumps.

U, I am a very understanding person. People come to talk to me all the time, because I love helping people with their problems.

V, I hate vaccuming the house. Sometimes my mom makes me vaccum the whole house and it's my lest favorite thing to do ever.

W, I love to walk everywhere I go. Me and my friends walk to stores all the time because thats our way of easy transperation.

X, I've had only three x-rays in my whole life. One for my ankle when I was nine, because i sprained it. The other two because I broke my finger last year.

Y, I get addicted to yo yoing whenever I find one. If i clean my room sometimes I always find a yoyo and I end up playing with it for hours at a time.

Z, I am in love with my zebra jacket from billa bong. Its blue and has black zebra stripes, I wear it all the time because its so warm and comfertable.

School times.

Hello. I'm here to tell you about my first few weeks of school. My name is Heather, and I'm at Stevenson High School.

The first days, were pretty much a blur, I don't really remember all of it, not because I was so focused on not messing up or being late or something like that. All I remember were all the people in the hallways. And everyone that I saw had something really cool that would catch my attention, like a piercing, or different colored hair, and maybe their clothes from time to time. I mean I've seen the pink, blue, green, red, white, and dead black hair. I've seen the nose studs, the eyebrows, industrial, dimples, angle bites, snake bites, gauges, lip rings, and septum's. And then finally I've seen, the chained pants, the fish net gloves, the ripped beyond belief shirts, and the hair with mile wide volume. It's very interesting.

After the first week of school, I knew my way around very easy. And my locker? It was never a problem. I knew where my friends would be, and between what class I could find them a chat for a minute. My teachers are pretty nice; they don't smother me with homework as much as I thought they would, but it's still a lot more then I had last year. The work isn't so much harder. It's a great challenge getting used to it and adjusting to how little time I have to get to my classes. Every day, every hour I must run to every class, because my counselor gave me the pleasure of having my classes scheduled to be all over the school. It is not pleasant.

I am having a lot of fun in school though, most of my friends are in my classes and if they aren't, I have had the pleasure of making a ton of new friends. My teachers have some fun with us and like to do a lot of hands on activities. It makes class time fun, and prevents me from falling asleep. I love my school so far, and I am looking forward to a great year.
