**Twilight**

Oh my Gosh! I just finished reading Twilght. I just love it!! I read it in just only TWO DAYS!!!! I don't know why I hadn't read the book earlier. It just looked so boring. But then again I've been told many times not to judge a book my its cover. My, should I have really clueless. I can't wait till I start reading the next one. But first I have to finish reading Dandelion Wine. That book confuses my so much. To many similes, metaphores, basically tooo poetic.

Going along with not judging a book by its cover. The publishing company should really have thought of a better cover. How does an apple in the palms of someones reallly really white arms go with the book? Even though I haven't read the rest of the books the red ribbion on Elicipes doesn't look like a book I would normally read. But then again remeber- "Don't judge a book by its cover". I wonder who came up with that quote. They must have been really smart to say that!

I really hope they don't make a movie on Twilight. I would honestly go on a strike. They'd be putting a face on Edward. Which is horriable. Since Edward could so many different ways, depending on the girl. I'm not really sure I would picture Edward but I would totally date someone with most of his qualities. But then Edward doesn't go to church, so then however I will marry would have to go to church and have most of Edward's qualities. But still I wonder who came up the "Don't judge a book my its cover". Well till next week!

An Up-Lifting Poem

Footprints in the Sand One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord.

Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.

In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.

Sometimes there were two sets of footprints, other times there was one only.

This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life,

when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow or defeat, I could see only one set of footprints,

so I said to the Lord, “You promised me Lord, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always.

But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life there has only been one set of footprints in the sand.

Why, when I needed you most, have you not been there for me?”

The Lord replied, “The years when you have seen only one set of footprints, my child, is when I carried you.”

My Week with 500 words

Throughout this week I noticed that my life is boring. That I should hang out with friends more often and do this different everyday. Notice the simply nice things people do and just have fun. Okay so Monday was boring this week I went to swim practice, did homework, and went to bed. Nothing really exciting. Tuesday I went to school of course, a swim meet, Panda Express after the swim meet and did homework. On Wensday was the Honors English Party which I didn't go to because I went to swim practice. Later that night I had a service young womens activity. In which we collected canned food for a family in need in the ward. It was frezzing! and really dark even if it was just 6:45 at that time. On thursday I went swimming AGAIN and did homework and went to bed. On Friday I went to school and bought new googles for a swim meet on Saturday. I went to swimming saw Panda Girl and we played in the waves and tired to flip my sister out of her tube. I didn't have a tube so I just went around scaring people underwater. On Saturday I had a swim meet. From the very beggining on my first event my life went crashing down that morining. On my 200IM I forgot and flipped over on my front when I was supposed to touch the wall on my back! I was DQ. Not like Dairy Queen, but Disquilfied. LAME. so then I did my 200 free and again lame! I didn't really reach my full potientional. LAME! and then on my 100 free again LAME and my 50free LAME and really crumby start. and them after the meet was finally over I didn't like swimming any more I was going to quit. But then I found out my sister had made state cuts on two of four of her events which made be really happy so I started to cry in I good way. I was so happy even If I was mad at myself for doing so bad. Later after we went home we went out to eat and later that night I went to the Regional dance with Marina and danced alot. I met a whole bunch of people and really had fun despite the fact that I hadn't done really good for the rest of the day. and in my opionon there should be a dance every week! that would be so much fun!!! and I can't wait till next months dance. or March for State!!

These last few past weeks

These past few weeks having been going by fast and pretty good. Halloween was a blast! I went trick-or-treating to lots of houses with the King's and the Held's. I met up with Laura on the street and just followed each other to which ever house had the lights on. Laura didn't dress up because her mother wouldn't let her be Elvis. So as I did dress up, I got alot of attention from little girls. And suprisingly alot more than what I wanted from a little kid named Moses. There was also tons of old ladies who had forgotten it was Halloween. I went to Mr. Thompsons house too! Not even knowing. He gave out good candy too! Once I got home from an hour of trick-or-treating I counted my candy and did invetory of the candy I had recieved from almost total strangers. It turns out that this year instead of people buying gum, gummies, and hard candy. About eighty percent of the people gave out chocolate. Which is good, but I'm kind of sick of chocolate now. Also besides just Halloween theirs been many swim meets. The swim season has been going by really fast. There is a total of fourteen and next week we'll have are sixth meet. Yesterday was the Region Relay Meet. It was really fun. I only swam in three events so in my spare time I cheered random people from the team. I was trying to lose my voice on purpose, so instead of cheering I was basically screaming at people in the water to go faster. In the middle of the meet I would be talking to people and my voice would be hoarse and then it would go back to normal. It started to bug me that I just gave up on losing my voice and didn't cheer till the end of the meet. Where there was the last three fun events. I was in the kickboard relay and was the only one that didn't know how to switch with the other people once reaching the wall. Since I was the only ninth grader. So we ended up in second and watched the tube relay, which was real interesting to watch since it was the only event none of the other schools knew how to do. So Layton being better, we won by alot. In the end the last final event was really competitive. I'm not sure who won for sure but it was really close. Well I think it's been five hundred words, so till next time.

Toodles!!!!!!!!! :)
