Well all rightey then, here's what I'm gonna be doing over Winter Break. First of all, today, Wednesday February something or other, I am leaving to go up to Christmas Mountain. Then we ski up at Cascade Mountain. Ironic, isn't it? Any who, once we get up there we can swim in the water park, play games in the arcade and watch "Dinner For Schmucks" at our two story Villa. Bonus! Bonus Jonas! Jonas Bonus!
Haha, I'm a funny girl. So once we get home on Saturday, Brit and I plan on seeing "Just Go With It" That movie looks funny. Those are my beastly awesome weekend plans.

Maximum Ride: School's out; Forever
Fang, Iggy, Angel, Nudge and Gazzy are all one flock, but it is only Max that has the voice in her head. Only Max that both Jeb and Ari like. Only Max, has to save the world from the white coats. I donn’t get why though, what’s there to save us from? These poor kids have no one to trust, sometimes they can’t even trust themselves. Once, the white coats made a clone Max. Maximum Ride: School’s out; Forever by James Patterson is an adventure suspense and a little science fictiony all in one, but the suspense is the thing that really gets you.
So if you’re confused right now, this is how it goes. These kids all got taken away from they’re parent because when they were little they’re parents sold them not knowing how bad it would be. Terrible, right? Well, once they got taken away they were put in Dr. Ter Bocht’s lab, and got experimented on. Making them half human half bird. They all escaped the lab and are now being tracked down by erasers. Erasers are these demented things that I think would be really terrifying, they’re like half wolf and half human, all except Ari who is stuck between his morphing stages. Oh, and Jeb is Ari’s father and works for the white coats. I think it’s weird because, he let them turn in his own son into an eraser. Such a fail of a father, he is.
With all of the suspense in this book it’s hard to put down. Plus, with all of their adventures and drama, it makes the story just that much better. But in reality, it must really suck to have wings, no parents or place to live, and to be chased down by hungry, human killing experiments. How can Max still want to keep trying after all that, because, I know that I sure wouldn’t. Never the less, Max is a fighter, she never gave up even when death was staring her in the face. Now that’s bravery, at least in my book it is.
This book follows the tragedy mode of literature, and I’ll show you why. First of all, the world is in conflict with the main character, which is Max. Everybody wants to kill her, and her flock. Next up is the rise to power. Max and her flock escape the lab and our trying to find somewhere to live. Now there has to be a tragic flaw which is Max killing Ari. It may not seem bad now, but trust me, it was not a good choice. For the tragic fall it is when Ari comes back to life and tries to kill Max. Well, that didn’t work out to well. Finally for death or death symbolism, at the end of the book the flock is just about to get killed when. It ends. The book just ends.
This whole book is like a rollercoaster. With Its ups and downs and twists and turns. You also get a thrill from reading. I’m super glad this is a series because I really enjoyed reading it. Maximum Ride: School’s Out; Forever is a book for anyone that likes suspense with a little bit of a twist.

Planet Chez
Authors note: This story is a compilation of input from Dani, Nick, Kevin, Jose, and Maria.
On the small planet of Chez, there were no humans. Only Cheese Its, and they ran the planet. The Cheese Its got there by Astronauts taking them up into space and loosing them. The Astronauts were very furious when this happened and they went out looking for them. They looked everywhere, but the Cheese Its were no where to be found. Finally the astronaut saw one Cheese It and ate it. They they saw another one. And another one. Turns out they found the whole planet of Cheese Its. So they ate them all.Or so they thought. The Cheese Its actually had an escape route in case something like this were to happen. So they floated away to the Astronauts ship. but the Cheese Its didn't know how to fly a spaceship so it exploded in 22.16 seconds. A new record! There was cheese everywhere. One baby Cheese It actually survived and ate an Astronaut. He then ate so much astronaut he got fa and looked like a normal Cheese It. Later it realized that he was bored and lonely so he started eating, he ate so much he accidentally ate himself.

Kindergarten
Kindergartners are the spazziest children ever. They are either crying/pouting, laughing at dumb things, or asking questions. It’s like they never take a break. To be honest though, being a kindergartner was super fun. All the friends and recesses, snack breaks, nap time. The time when we though stupid was the worst word that anyone could say. Truthfully I miss kindergarten. You could never be bored, going to the store was like, one of the most fun weekend activities. This was also the time when being the spazziest children ever were sometimes considered cute. Those days, were the best days. I sure do miss that.

School Pictures
I hate school pictures. Well, I guess it depends on what I look like really. This year was ok, but one of my least favorites was in 2nd grade. My hair was messy and I had just come back from girl scout camp. Like I said I was only in 2nd grade so I didn’t know how to put my hair up. My mom picked me up from camp and we were off to get my picture taken. I still hadn’t brushed my hair. So as we were waiting in line for my turn my mom asked “How should I do your hair?” I told her I wanted a high pony tail so that’s what she did with my messy hair. There I was, sitting on the little stool, I was so excited so I did my biggest, spaziest smile ever. Little did I know how insane I looked. Now that picture stays in the upstairs hallway, mocking me every time I go up there. And that is why, to this day, I still don’t wear high pony tails.

Dreams
I once had a dream called the Silver Boxes. So my “sister” and I were sitting at home, our neighbors were having a party so as I was leaving for it I asked “Aren’t you coming?” She replied “No way! Aren’t you worried about the silver boxes?” I thought she was just being random again so I ignored her comment and went to the party. A short while after everyone at the party started running inside. I asked why, then these boys told me that the people were worried about the silver boxes. “What are the silver boxes?” I asked. “We’ll show you.” The two boys said.
Once we got to the silver box they explained to me what it was. Turns out the silver boxes are an organization that kidnapped Katy Perry. To get her out, there is a box that is only 1 ft by 1ft, you flip open the hole and throw a paper football in it. The paper football has to touch the exact spot or else you get sucked in. No adults have ever attempted this, all of the kids that have got sucked in. When you get sucked in there is a long metal hallway leading to a staircase. Every square in. of this hallway is protected by armed guards. If you get sucked in, a lady (the head leader) will be standing at the end of it. She leads you up the staircase to what looks like a locker room without the lockers. You then get a sleeping bag, a laptop, a used piece of paper and a pencil with no eraser.
So of course I tried to save Katy Perry. And of course all of these things happened to me. The head lady gives you a hallway that you are sentenced to live in until adulthood. In my hallway, I saw a person I knew there. Her name was Amanda and she is about 17 and had been living there for that past couple months. We started talking and I asked her if we could access Face book from our laptops. She told me I could as long as I don’t get caught. As I was checking my notifications, the head lady came p behind me and led me downstairs for a punishment. All I had to do was wear a watch to sleep. While I was getting it on though, I saw some guards lead Brittany, Jade, and Kasia up the steps. I waved and yelled their names but they never looked by. Weeks went by and as they did I started to become good friends with the head lady. So good, she let me leave.
Once I got home my phone started ringing and the number was blocked. So hesitantly I answered it. I couldn’t believe what just happened. Head lady called and asked to be best friends. I replied “On one condition, you have to let my friends out.” So she did. That night we all had a sleepover, just in case something would happen we had a code word. “Blue Unicorn”. In the middle of the night I woke up and standing next to my bed was the head lady and to big body guards. So I started screaming. “BLUE UNICORN! BLUE UNICORN! BLUE FREAKIN UNICORN!” I got no response. I looked around and saw all my friends tied up and outside my door. So I said to one body guard, that the other one thought his shoes were ugly. They started fighting. Then I slapped the head lady and untied my friends. While head lady and the body guards were recovering I told my friends a plan. After that they scampered away to get prepared. I quickly dialed 911. Shortly after a pressed call I found myself with I sack over my head getting dragged down the stairs. The cops came but the silver box people had me hostage. Finally my friends came with baseball bats and knocked them out conscience.
