Dreams take us on Journeys...

Underneath my bed was not a very good hiding place, but hopefully he would not be able to find me here. I am too young to die. He has been stalking me for about two weeks now and he knew my parents would not be home tonight. I could hear him coming up the stairs slowly with his giant steal toe boots. As he abrublty opened up my door to my room I held my breath so he could not hear me. The first place he looked was my closet and then he made a weird aggressive grunt when I was not there. I could not help but to shiver and cry when he came closer to my bed, but then he left my room. I was so happy he could not find me, but I was still stuck to the floor like glue worried that he might come back. All of a sudden I heard someone jump off the bed... It was a little girl and she peeked under the bed and yelled "She's here." Then the steal toed boots guy ran up the stairs grabbed me by my feet and leaned me over the edge of the window. All I remember is falling and hitting my head extremely hard. Then waking up to my parents in the hospital.
The doctor said I had a fierce concussion, I got stitches in my neck, ears and cheek, and I am on some good pain killers. He also explained that the police are searching for the little girl her dad. My parents had mixed emotions with this ordeal. They wanted me better, but wanted those people DEAD. The doctor let me go home after a week and when we got home my parents hardly left my side. As months went on my parents started leaving me alone more and more, which is what I wanted because a teenaged girl needs their space. It was Halloween night and my friends and I wanted to go to our first party together. My parents agreed as long as I was home at twelve and no later.
Everyone looked awesome in their customes. My friends and I were dead cheerleaders and I was the captain of them. I was mingling and then I saw the same little girl as I saw in my room. I started to panic and then ran over to my friend Molly who was close by. I told her that the little girl was here and that meant that the father was here too. Molly told everyone she was walking me home and on the way home I was very nervous. My parents went to a party that night thinking I would be home at twelve, but I was home at 10:30. I told Molly she could go home, but really I wanted her to stay.
I could hear knocking on my door, little trick or treaters, but I was not answering that door. I heard a bang on the back door, which really freaked me out. I couldnt help, but to see who it was. As I tiptoed down stairs I could hear a little girl laughing in the living room. I turned the corner and there those two were. "We have been waiting for you" they said. I ran back upstairs went into the bathroom and locked the door. I was hiding in the bath tub trying to think of a plan out of this, but I had nothing. I forgot I had my cell phone. So I called my parents and told them that the people who hurt me before are in the house. They left immediately.
The steal toed boots guy kicked the door down and grabbed me by my hair and took me into my room. The the little girl grabbed a knife and started cutting me. I started to yell and cry and thats when my parents ran in. They saw me holding the knife and me laying on the bed. I saw the steal toed boots guy hold me down and the little girl cutting me. My parents took the knife away from me and took me to the emergancy room. The little girl was by my side laughing at me, but for some reason my parents could not see her. Why could they not see her? Then I passed out.
Two weeks later I was released from the Pysch ward. The doctors explained that I was schizophrenic and the two people did not exist in the real world,only in my head. I would cry almost everyday believing I was crazy, which is half true. Ever since I found out that I was schizophrenic I have been taking my pills regualry because it is my dream to get better.

What am I going to do for the rest of my life?

1. I belive you have to be passionate about the career you choose. The main reason why I say this is becasue I know someone who hated their job and had a stroke. Now I am not saying the stroke was caused because she hated her job, but the stress triggered it. Now she is only 41 years old and she had to make a decision... Does she stay with the job she hates and start to hate everything in her life... or she start a new job? She found a new job and is very healthy. She loves going to work everyday and she doesnt usee sarcasim as much. I believe you have to be 100% passionate about your career choice.

2. I plan on going to Pentictons okanagan college for two years to get my diploma in Business Administration. After I am done that I plan on transfering over to Kelowna's Okanagan College and get my degree in Marketing. Then I think I might go to the Art Insitute in Vancouver and do the Fashion Marketing course because then I will have many oppertunities in this world and I am willing to do all these course so I can have my dream job.

Journal-My Sister's Keeper

Quote: "You think you can lay it all out in words, black-and-white, as if it's that easy. But you only represent one of my daughters, Mr. Alexander, and only in this courtroom. I represent both of them equally, everywhere, every place. I love both of them equally, everywhrere , every place."

The novel "My Sister's Keeper" by Jodi Picolt resembles a troubled family trying to stick together by saving Kate Friztgerald life. Kate was diagnosed with APL lukemia, which is a rare type to get. This is where Anna Friztgerald comes into the family. Anna is genetically created to have all the same genes as her older sister Kate. They needed Anna to save Kate's life. When I first started reading this book I believed it was wrong to use a child to save another childs life, but as soon as the scene in the courtroom happened where Sarah Friztgerald, the girl's mother, I saw that not only did she love the daughters she has, but she meant no harm. She just got a little overwhelmed with what she was asking Anna to give away. The quote above is Sarah Friztgerald speaking in the courtroom. This is where I changed my perception about Sarah and other characters in the book and saw their side of the story.

Boogeyman 2 review


As a child a fear of the boogeyman was a bed wetting experience for most. Parents used this creative-creature as a technique to make children fall asleep on time or so they wouldn't walk home in the dark. This approach to parenting can really make the child afraid of the dark, but mostly what lies in the dark. Boogeyman 2 was created by producers that were finacially distressed. Most of the new movies are made with more quality and since it was a 2008 movie people agreed quality would be a big factor. The 2005 movie Boogeyman was made perfectly and was created by producers that could afford to scare people, which lead more people to watch the sequel of Boogeyman. Now when I say the movie does not have the best quality I mean that, but I never said the producers and writers did not have creative ways to massacre the chartcters in the movie. If you are the kind of person who loves a twisted story line and watching sadistic ways of being killed you are in the right place. But if you suffer from Germaphobia, Agoraphobia, Obesophobia, Nyctophobia, and more, then I do not think you should be renting or buying this movie. Tobin Bell, the famous charcter from the Saw series, changed his pace by acting a mental facility psychratist attempting to change the lives of the subconscious people struggling with phobias taking over their lives. The Boogeyman in the first movie was actually the scary creature children learned about, but in the sequel the Boogeyman is very much alive and striking his victims one by one as he uses their phobias against them. Most people find this movie fantastic, thrilling, and truely inhuman so if you want to see a spooky satisfiying movie then take the time and watch this abstract film.

The railroad is a journey of life. It consists of balance and taking one step at a time. These two young lovers can feel the wind in their faces drastically, the smell of trees and wild flowers surounded around them, and the beautiful sun shining down on their bodies. They both hold on for dear life as their fingers intwine with eachother and know that as long as their together nothing else can break them. The fractured house on the boys left-hand side is known as the past and as he struggles on this unsturdy peice of wood he will feel a crack that symbolizes heart break, but the trick is to never let anything beat you; everyone is stronger than they look. As this journey begins remember that in the end you will always have someone who loves you and this is how the young lovers begin and how they will end, Happily Ever After!

-Rant-

The last day of winter break my group of friends handed out christmas presents and I hardly got anything in return, but it was okay because the whole reason for christmas presents is to celebrate the reason for sharing. So later on that day my good friend Bree asked what I wanted for christmas because she hasn't gotten me a gift yet. I told her a hamster... but at first I wasn't serious. I thought about all the good old days with hamsters and degu's. So that was my final answer, "I want a hamster". So we go to Pet Cetra and asked if we could get a teddy bear hamster... and the answer was no because you have to be over the age of 18! Like common I am a paying customer, its stupid. So Bree and I went up to TOTAL PET and we were looking at all the hamsters and asked the age limit it was to buy a hamster. They said there wasn't one. So we went in the back and picked out a hamster. As I was looking down at all of the cute teddy bear ones I was explaining to bree and my friend Katie who happens to work there that I was looking for a hamster with character. The first one I tried to hold was one who was defending their terriory... and I loved it right away. So I brought her home and the first night the she got dropped, I got bitten to the point I lwas bleeding for two hours, and SHE ROLLED IN HER WHEEL ALL NIGHT! Talk about annoying. So this rant is about how I turned out to pick the most annoying hamster of life. Her name is DIVA because she is one. She doesnt care if I want to sleep she wants to roll in her wheel, when I am just about to close my eyes she makes a peep sound and to this day... litterly MARCH 29, 2010, she got out of her cage, she is now probably behind my dresser and I work so I cannot find her till affter work. But in a way she deserves it, maybe she will realize her cage is actually fun! I sure hope so.. she is such a diva.

Top 3

I will be discussing the top 3 scary movies based on GORE, SUSPENSE, and their Story Line. Everything is is rated out of ten. I will be looking at reviews on the movie as well as pictures. I am also rating these movies on my own experience watching these. The three movies I have choosen are "28 weeks later", "SAW 6", and "Jeepers Creepers 2".





The first movie I will be reviewing is "28 weeks later". The plot of this movie started off 6 months after the rage infection that spread all over Great Britian. This infection makes people turn into quick insane flesh eating zombies. Then the U.S. army then declares war on the infection. On the internet this movie is rated overall a 7 out of 10. But in my eyes... In the catogory of gore this movie is rated a 10 out of 10. The reason for this is because in the first scene of the movie all we see is a damaged house boarded up to keep the infected dangerous humans away. Then the infected humans break into the house and start devouring the human flesh of the owners of the house hold and the people that they were also being protecting. One of the survivors get away onto a boat and escape, but when the zombies saw he was escaping they went after him, he barely got away. The look on the faces are horrible. Blood is coming out of their mouths, eyes, ears, wounds, and even their facial expressions change severely. The next thing this movie will be judged upon is suspense. I rated this a 9 out of 10. Alot of this movie is twisted. I didn't know half the things that were happeneing. In the movie the father turns into one of the zombies and bites his own child and for some reason the child did not turn into one... He was a carrier. The sounds during all of the suspense moments were played out perfectly. Now the last thing I am rating is story line. The story line in this movie was very well put out. We start out in the first movie 28 days later where the virus is now put out in the world and then 6 months later (28 weeks later) it has now tooken over Great Britian! This movie also shows the connection with a family and bases it on their journey in the story. So I rated this 9 out of 10.

Overall this movie, "28 weeks later" was rated 28 out of 30.



The second movie I will be describing is "SAW 6". For this movie I will start off with the story line. This movie has five other movies before it and if you havent seen one of them they can be confusing and since they use alot of foreshadowing in all the movies you need to see them all to get some of the parts. I have seen all of them so I know what happened, but you might not, so I am rating this a 7 outof 10. But be sure to watch them all :) Now rating this movie with suspense and this part will be easy. Every SAW movie makes people twitch. In the sixth one it makes more people jump when "JIGSAW" was capturing his victims in a pigs mask. And especially when the main victim had to do certain tasks because he was being tested since he was seen as a bad guy, but ofcoarse that is JIGSAW's opinion. This is going to be rated a 8 out of 10. Now to the topic of gore. This is the kind of movie if you are looking for a gorey feature. It has certain contraptions that will rip your body apart or you have to cut off a limb. I know some people that cannot even watch one scene without almost throwing up. So I am rating this part 10 out of 10. Overall this movie is rated a 25 out of 30.



The third movie I will be examining is "Jeepers Creepers 2". The first topic I would like to duscuss is gore. Now in the movie there is a creature that feeds every 26th year, of the 26th month on the 26th day. In this movie the creature eats people, but doesn't really show it, just mostly the corps. So in the gore catorgary I would rate it a 5 out of 10. Supsense in this movie is well made. There are many jumping points and twisty moments that can make anyone flinch. One part in the movie was when the students are in a bus coming back home from a away game and the buses tires flatten and tear. Then some people go and check it out and they notice that there was a tool that ripped the tires.. It was bones from a human body. Then the scary moments start off from there. Students get eaten, teased, and were treated like tortued animals with the creatures sick games. I rated this a 9 out of 10. Then the story line is the next to discuss. In the first movie they introduce the monster when two people spot the monster putting bodies down a tunnel. This movie it just talks about how he is hungry, it is mostly made to be a scary movie.. not so much have a story line, BUT it does have a story line when it comes to one of the girls having a vision about the monster from the first movie so I am rating this movie a 7 out of 10. This movie is rated overall 21 out of 30.

So after rating all these movies first place goes too "28 weeks later" Second place "Saw 6" and Third place "Jeepers Creepers 2".
