Hello peoples. So today my topic is my girlfriend and it has been picked out by one of my favorite people, my girlfriend. Here it goes.

So I guess I better start from the beginning. It was the first day of fourth grade when I met her. Since then I've always liked her but it took me quite an embarrassing few years to get things started. In those few years I was stuck in something you've probably heard of. (the friend zone). But I guess I started really working for this girl in seventh grade. It was towards the end of the year and she and I had art class together and the seating chart changed a few times until pretty soon she was sitting next to me. She tells me this is when she started liking me but then I was still just hoping she did if she dropped any hints I was probably pretty clueless. I still look at that class in my memories and remember the laughter and the looks we gave each other sometimes. Nevertheless I still didn't ask her the question until a bit through the eighth grade. Once again we had most of our classes together and we spent the most time together in Spanish class and English class which unfortunately was not our favorite class. (neither of us like the teacher). So it had been a while now since I had decided to ask her but I was still looking for a good moment. So it was one Friday the 27th of September and it was a reward after the first report card and everybody was outside sitting on a hill in the grass watching a flag football game with the teachers and some of the more athletic 8th grade boys. (so naturally I was in the audience). I was sitting with her playing with a piece of grass under the early autumn sun getting closer and closer to asking her.... But no. No this is me your talking about it couldn't be that romantic. So school ends and we go home and I'm pumping myself up to ask her through texting doing the laundry home alone blasting my music. The music is really good and a lot of them have to do with love and I felt really good afterwards. So I'm sitting in the living room later with my Mom and siblings eating dinner and I just grab my phone and start typing. One slow letter at a time until, finally the message is written and I sorta closed my eyes and my stomach clenched and I sent her the message... She said yes! I was up for most of the night thinking about this happy, giggly, beautiful girl from North Carolina who, somehow, somehow, had said yes. So the next morning I jump out of bed and check my phone just to make sure this wasn't a dream. So the weekend continues and we nervously text each other until it's Monday morning and I'm heading inside the school knowing that there she is somewhere behind me getting off her bus. And there is she smiling beside me and just like... hi.

So here I am with this wonderful girl today and here I hope to be for a long time. Bye.

My Notebook

Hello peoples. Today I'm writing about some writing I plan t do at school and an example of it. Here it goes.

So recently I've gotten a notebook to write in for entertainment at school. It's not just for entertainment though it's also because lately I've been feeling a need to write some of these things down. Some of them are stories or poems though they often don't rhyme. Other things would just be sayings I've made or bits of wisdom I want to remind myself or stories about my life. Kinda like a journal but more interesting.

Here is an example of something I'm going to put in.

It's Friday and I'm outside running around my neighborhood. This is my third lap around the block and in spite of the chilly fall winds I've taken my jacket off at my last pass by my house. I've gotten to that point where I've gone far enough I won't be stopping for a while. No, I'm not done with it yet it just pushes me to continue. I come to one sharp hill with bright autumn trees on either side of the road. I speed up to get up the hill and my earbuds keep pumping music. Sweat steadily streaks down my temples and then I'm there. At the top of the hill, the view is amazing and I can see both the sun and the moon like rulers of the sky. The clouds have blended in with the oranges and the purples and the sky is split in half between the day and the night. The sunlight shines almost parallel to the horizon and pronounces the fall trees. I haven't stopped running and I'm sprinting down the street like a rocket. The sunlight is beautiful and I close my eyes for a moment and soak it all in like a sponge. It seems to give me a reason, motivation for my every purpose and reason for everything I do. I keep my eyes close and spread my arms out, greeting anything it's gonna throw at me. I was untouchable.

Warlord

Hello people's. Today I'm doing a comic book review. Here it goes.

Recently we have completely stripped my old room so that Katie could move into it. While we were cleaning it out I found some of my old comic books. When I was smaller I read my entire Warlord essential. I still really like it and I asked my Dad if they made any more comics after what I already had. I remember hearing somewhere that they didn't so I wasn't to hopeful but he said yes and now I have more on my iPad.

So warlord is the story of Travis Morgan who was a pilot in the U.S. Airforce. He was on a mission taking photos of supposed Chemical warfare bases in Russia when a Russian plane shot his plane. His plane was going down straight over the north pole. Before he crashed he ejected with a parachute. To his surprise he found himself in a subterranean world! Skartaris.

Skartaris exists because at each pole the earth slowly curves inward on itself, Morgan did not recognize the curve because of how gradual it is. Inside is a world in eternal day because of the sun perpetually held at the center by Earth's gravity. Here Morgan finds creatures from the dawn of Earth, Dinosaurs living alongside modern creatures. Skartaris was once inhabited by the great wizard kings so there are magical creatures and wizards. The civilization of Atlantis once ventured here and the land knew great technological advances before they destroyed each other by war. Now it is inhabited by men and women living in the dark ages of sword and sorcery completely oblivious to the once great civilization.

I like Warlord a lot. It reminds me of Warlord of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs because both of the heroes live in a land of the sword in modern times and both of them are almost always on a quest to save there loved ones such as there sons or wives. Even though they face great challenges neither of them are ever really bested with the sword but the story is still great. Bye.

My Music

Hello peoples. Today I'm writing about some of the music I listen to. Here it goes.

Most of the time I listen to Alternative music but sometimes I listen to Electronic. I like these kinds of music because they really fire me up and the chorus is usually very good. Whenever I'm running the chorus of these songs really help me run faster from the power of the music. The way I buy music is just buying the songs I really like from different artists. Then I put them together in one playlist and listen to them that.

Here are some of the songs in my favorite playlist.
Nothing by The Script
Breakeven by The Script
Paradise by Coldplay
You found me by The Fray
Radioactive by Imagine Dragons
It's Time by Imagine Dragons
Demons by Imagine Dragons
Monster by Imagine Dragons
Apologize by OneRepublic
Good Life by OneRepublic
Secrets by OneRepublic
I'm Yours/Somewhere Over the Rainbow by Straight No Chaser
Hey There Delilah by Plain White T's
Animal by Neon Trees
Fallen Kingdom by TryHardNinja (definitely check out the music video for this just search Fallen Kingdom in YouTube.)
Somewhere Only We Know by Keane
We Are Young by Fun.
Sail by AWOLNATION
Kill Your Heroes by AWOLNATION
Sweater Weather by The Neighborhood

Some of my favorite songs would be Sail, Sweater Weather, Fallen Kingdom, I'm Yours/Somewhere Over the Rainbow, and Demons. My favorite band is probably Imagine Dragons because a lot of their songs are good.

Bye.
