This one was an interesting and fun one. But I won't tell you what the challenge was until after you read it. NO SKIPPING TO THE END!!!

On my way to grandpa Pepper's place I wondered what he was going to give me, well I assumed he was going to give me something, as it was my birthday and he always gave me something on my birthday. Now today I was turning 13 and honestly I'm pretty excited, like it's not everyday you make it to your teenage years, right?
When I got to grandpa's house I was considerably interested as to what the present might be. Grandpa imminently set my mind to rest, for upon arrival he showed me to a large box and told me to open it, it was easy to see that he was excited, so I went up to it and pulled the card off, I opened the card and read it; it said: My dearest Katy, (I know I usually start my cards by calling you a young whippersnapper, but since you are turning 13, I decided I would show you the proper respect) Happy Birthday! Now I just wanted to caution you to be careful and not to take any risks, but you probably want to know what's inside the box, so I'll let you open it, enjoy!
Love you forever, Grandpa. XOXO 
" Thanks Grandpa" I said and gave him a hug, then I turned and opened the box. Inside was a beautiful ten speed bike! The latest model, "oh Grandpa," I said, " its beautiful!" "Thought you'd like it." he said smiling, "I do, I do, its the most beautiful bike I've ever seen!" I gave him another hug and then turned back to my bike, "can I take it for a ride?" I asked, "nothing would make me happier." he answered, and so quick as I could, I had the bike out the door down the steps and onto the pavement, I climbed onto it almost reverently, but once on, I was speeding up and down the street; laughing with glee. I could tell Grandpa was pleased that I liked it so much.
When I went home I was still smiling, I had always wanted a bike like this.
I was not one of those girly girls, who wanted makeup for their birthdays and believed in faerie land, no I was more of a Tomboy, into books about the arising of evil and of spies with guts, who got chloroformed when they found out to much. So you can imagine that I was very happy with my new bike.
I showed Mum my new bike and she looked very impressed, but then she shook her head and said "he should have gotten me to buy it, he knows I get a personal discount at the store." "Pooh" I said "you know he never would have agreed, he's to proud" "I guess your right" she said.

Good right?
So the challenge was that I had to open random pages of the dictionary and drop my finger on 10 random words. The words I picked are:

• Arisings 
• Box 
• Chloroform
• Discount
• Personal
• Whippersnapper
• Guts
• Faerie
• Nothing
• Pooh

Try find them in the story.

For this one I opened the phone book to a random page, closed my eyes and dropped my finger down. I then wrote a story about that person. Not that I knew the person but I wrote a story using the name and occupation of that person.

Funniest thing happened today: I was with my good friend Dr. Peter Brannan, just chatting about the weather and such things, when his phone rang, (not an unusual occurrence, after all he was the only doctor in a small town) It was Mrs. Hoffenfafer, who lived on the outskirts of town, anyhow she was frantic and screaming about someone falling from a tree and breaking all their bones (or something like that) So Dr. Brannan grabbed his bag and rushed out the door, I decided to go along in case he needed help. On the way, I asked him who had fallen, he said he didn't know, but going off the fact that Mrs. Hoffenfafer had seven high spirited kids, he wasn't surprised that one of them had injured themselves.

When we arrived, we hurried to a frantic looking Mrs. Hoffenfafer, when she saw the Dr. she gave a cry of relief, "thank goodness your here Dr. he's worked himself into quite a state." 

We followed her into a messy backyard where she led us over to a dog lying on the ground yelping in pain. "here he is" she said "he fell out of that tree, from a very high branch and I fear he's broken something." "Mrs. Hoffenfafer, we do have a perfectly capable vet in town, why didn't you ring him?" asked Dr Brannan, "why, because your the family Dr." said Mrs. Hoffenfafer,as if it was so obvious, she was surprised we hadn't figured it out.

So Dr. Brannan fixed up the dog and told Mrs Hoffenfafer she really should call the vet, just to make sure that the dog was alright, we then left. And to this day I still don't know how the dog got in the tree.

With this one I just had so much happiness flowing through me as I wrote. : D

It Feels Good...

1. To jump into a cool clear pool on a sweltering hot day.
2. To swing high on a swing with the wind blowing in your face.
3. To jump high on the trampoline, come down and go right back up.
4. To laugh so hard you sides ache.
5. To finish a good book.
6. To clean a messy room and see the difference.
7. To be thanked for a job well done.
8. To get to Friday an have all your school work finished. 
9. To try and try and finally get it right.

Here's the next story. Now with this one I had to write about a invention that I thought was important.

Now today I thought I'd tell you about the telephone and how useful it has been to us since it's creation.

So to start with, back in the "olden days" when people didn't have telephones they had to go a long way just to talk to their family, but with the telephone we just need to punch in a few numbers and hey presto, instant family. 

The telephone also saves lives, like if it's a life and death situation you can call up the doctor and he will be there in a few minutes, but before the telephone you would have to drive or run to the doctor and then back again and in that time the patient could have died. :(

The telephone is also useful for businesses, like before you would have to go from shop to shop before you found what you  were looking for, but with the telephone, you can just call from your room until you find it. 

And if you want to chat to your friend you just have to call them up, instead of driving all the way to their house, which might be a long way away. 

And thus concludes the usefulness of the telephone... click, beep, beep, beep.

I hope you enjoyed that.

Writing Assignment

Mum and some homeschooling friends organised a home schooling exercise, known to us as writing club, we have been doing it for about six years now.
this week we read a story called Town mouse and Country mouse, and we had to write a outline, then shorten it. Mine went like this: 

One day town mouse went to visit his cousin the country mouse. The country mouse fed his cousin all he had which was, beans, bacon, bread and cheese. Town mouse said why do you live here with this simple food when you could be living in luxury in town. So country mouse went with his cousin back to town. Town mouse took him to a dinning room where a great feast had just ended. But before they could eat any thing two dogs came in and before town mouse could stop him country mouse ran back to his quiet life in the country.

Then instead of shortening it I put it in point form:

1) Town mouse visited country mouse.

2) Town mouse did not like country life.

3) country mouse visited town mouse.

4) country mouse got scared by dogs.

5) country mouse preferred country life. 


After that we had to do one of these sentence starters:

I love the smell of ------

If I could change something about the world

If I were prime minister 

If children ruled the world


I chose to do I love the smell of but when I did it it was not long enough so I did if I were prime minister as well but it still was't long enough so I did If children ruled the world too:

I love the smell of tortilla mince it's so spicy and tomatoey it makes my mouth water and tells me whats for tea.

If I were prime minister I would make orphanages better happier places. I would stop child abuse. I would make bigger libraries.I would help people who's houses were destroyed.

If children ruled the world every thing would be in complete disorder roads would block up houses would be destroyed. Plus if children were suppose to rule don't you think God would have created children first?

I am glad I did that last one because Dad and Mum liked it alot.
