My friends Zalii, Sara, and Nora came over to my house the other night for a sleep over. We made henna! It was super fun though we were constantly smudging our hands.

That’s a picture of one of the henna designs, the hump. My friends and I kept laughing at the definitions of the different styles of humps, and the names: The hump is the most frequently used element in Indian Bridal henna pattterns. Practice perfect humps, multihumps, parallelohumps, humptybumps, daisyhumps, poseyhumps, filler humps and borderhumps. Happy Humping! or This hump is the most frequently used element in contemporary Indian bridal henna. Learn to love your Hump, and practice humping for speed and accuracy!

Zalii Helps me on the spots I can’t do.

That’s the henna we used.

My final product.

I took a course on BraveWriters called Movie Madness. What we did was we would watch a movie then we would discuss the movie on a discussion forum.

We discussed:

*Glory

*A Room With A View

*The Sting

*Star Wars- A New Hope

*Hitchcock’s- North By Northwest

In some of the movie discussions we made up fake names to go with the movie. For example: In The Sting a gangstarish movie my name was Doll Face (don’t laugh.)

I really enjoyed the class because though it was very intellectual Mr. B (one of advisors) was really funny. It was his idea to do the naming and he always had the best name.

Pretties, the sequel to Uglies by Scott Westerfeld is also about Tally. In the first book, Uglies, David Tally’s boyfriend’s mom discovers a cure for pretties. You see, when you become a pretty the doctor not only makes you body pretty but your mind. They make small cuts in your brain called lesions which make you into a bubblehead not able to think strait. David’s mom just needs a willing pretty to test the pills on. Tally makes a big sacrifice, she will test the pills. She becomes Pretty.

In the second book, Pretties, Tally the bubblehead is havening the time of her life. Her Clique the Crims (all the people who were criminals before turning pretty) and her are invited to all the parties where they get drunk. During one of the parties Croy a Smokie shows up and gives Tally direction to where to find the pills. Tally and Zane (her boyfriend/Crim) split the pills. They worked. Tally can think straight and so can Zane despite his headaches.

Shay the bubblehead finds out about the pills and is mad that Tally didn’t split them with her. Shay makes her own Clique the Cutters who cut themselves to be bubbly, the same effect of the pills. The Crims have to escape before Special Circumstances talk to Shay. Can they pull it off? Read the book to find out!

I read this book in two days flat. It was spectacular! When I read the book it made me think well I wouldn’t be a bubblehead I would resist but the truth is I probably would be able to do it, I mean no one else was able to pull it off.

      Uglies by Scott Westerfeld is about a girl named tally. In Tally’s world about 300 years into the future everyone gets an operation at age 16 that turns you from a normal ugly to an outstanding pretty.

      Shay, Tallys friend doesn’t want to be pretty. Shay runs away to a secret town called Smoke where you never have to turn pretty. Of course Your not supposed to run away so special circumstances gives Tally a mission; to find shay and betray Smoke or never turn pretty. Its up to Tally to decide.

      I sped through this book, its that good. It makes you think about what you would actually do to get something you desperately want.

      Evil Genius is about a boy named Cadle, who was very very smart. In some ways he was evil, in some ways he wasn’t.

      He was evil because he made an online dating program, a scam that matches you with made up people. He did it for the money.

      In some ways he is good. Like he feels bad when he accidentally kills a bunch of people.

      His therapist is more than just a therapist. He is Cadles friend, college teacher, and the way he communicate with his dad Professor Darkkon who was currently in jail for being a genius like Cadle.

       Cadle makes new friends, new choices, new victories, and new mistakes in this riveting series: Evil Genius.

      The Outsiders is another book I read for the summer reading list. I read it in 2 days. It was really, really, really, good. I had my friend Kaitlyn over at my house and she picked up my book and didn’t put it down until she had to go.

      The Outsiders is about the life of Ponyboy, a 14 year old member of a Greaser gang. They fight the Socs. The book has al lot of character development. The Greasers are hoods. Ponyboy and his other gang members really bond in the book.

       Its hard to explain how good this book is, so you really should read it. Well, that depends. People who like fighting and hoody books should read it. People who like romance and cliqueish books shouldn’t. You dig? Comment and tell me.

 

       I read a book called Holes for my summer reading list. It was a really easy read, I read it in one night.

       It is more plot then character development, but it does have a nice plot. Stanley Yelnats (by the way his last name is his first backwards,) has no luck. The bad luck has followed his family since his no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather.

       Stanley is sent to Camp Green Lake, a place where Juvenile Delinquents are sent to dig 5 x 5 holes  all day. There is no lake at Camp Green Lake just miles and miles of hot, dry, deserted, nothingness. Of course Stanley is sent for something that he didn’t do because of the bad luck. Stanley starts to notice that they aren’t just digging to improve their character but they are looking for something.

       Stanley makes new friends, builds new muscles, and discovers more about Camp Green Lakes past!

I went diving with my dad while we were the Bahamas. It was my first dive. It was just 25 feet deep.

My dad and I are kneeling in front of a sunken plane, a movie prop in Jaws.

My fingers are showing the ok sign for diving! My dads fingers are showing the I want to go up sign. He doesn’t actually want to go up and I think that he was just trying to say that he was doing good but it is still funny.

I can’t wait until I’m old enough to get certified, age 15.

I recently visited the Bahamas for a wedding. I stayed at Atlantis. I stayed there from August 6-16.

I rode the Leap Of Faith in the Atlantis water park. I rode it 4 times. That’s me in the picture.

This was a funny t-shirt I saw in a store. Go Obama!

Kenny Baker played R2D2. Amazing isn’t it?
