Week 27

One of my favorite songs is "Drops of Jupiter"

Water. Earth. Fire. Air. Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked. Only the Avatar, master of all four elements, could stop them. But, when the world needed him most, he vanished. One hundred years have passed and my brother and I discovered the new Avatar, an Airbender named Aang. Although his Airbending skills are great, he has a lot to learn before he's ready to save anyone. But I believe that Aang can save the world.

On his journey to master the other 3 elements, the Airbender Aang went to the Northern Water Tribe to learn from their bending master. The princess of the tribe fell in love with Sokka, one of the Southern Water Tribe members. When the Fire Nation attacked the tribe in an attempt to kill Aang, they killed the embodiment of the moon spirit. This caused all the water benders to lose their power, therefore allowing the Fire Nation troops to take control. In order to save her tribe, the princess returned a debt to the moon spirit, who saved her at birth. The princess's spirit floated up into the heavens. The song "Drops of Jupiter" is a story of this girl's brave sacrifice.

Week 25

My theme song would be the Doctor Who theme song played by the Trans Siberian Orchestra. Over top of that, I would have Bowling for Soup sing lyrics that I have yet to disclose. This song would be the epitome of all theme songs. It would make the person listening to it understand what it would be like in the mind of Dylan. I think everyone would strive to memorize my theme song because it would be one of the most powerful songs every performed. Every time my song was used in a commercial, or a television show, I would get payed. They'd pay me hundreds of dollars to have a song so fantastic, so ingenious, so marvelous, so legendary on their channel or on their show. My song would move people to tears. It would stop wars. It would bring world peace. My song would be so powerful, that the plants themselves grow explosively. My song would bring a new standard of living to our planet.

Week 26

Thinking back on my life, I can think of a handful of times when I have spoken out of turn and then immediately regretted it. I wished I could turn back the clock and never say what I did, but I also think about what that might do to me as a person. If I went back and changed something I said in the past, it could have very powerful repercussions on this future that I have learned to enjoy. I don't want to change what I have. I know it sounds cliche, but I have it good compared to other people. There are other people who are far worse off than I am. I enjoy my life. I am proud of how far I have come and how much I have grown. If I had the opportunity to go back and change something about my past...to do something differently, I would refuse.

Week 24

I don't know if there are any inside jokes in my family. I suppose there was this thing we did that could be counted as an inside joke. I was hanging out with my uncle and my cousins and I don't remember why, but we thought it was the funniest thing when someone said "twice" as a response to an insult or a threat. We laughed hysterically every time someone mentioned it. The joke died out a long, long time ago though, so I doubt any of them would remember the fun we had.

Week 22

After the story of Cinderella and Prince Charming, the Prince threw Cinderella into a mental ward. The night after they got married, she recounted all of her plights. For example, before the ball, Cinderella allegedly fit inside of a pumpkin. Her canine friends turned into coachmen. The Prince assumed she was crazy, so he threw her into Bedlam Asylum. I guess Lucifer wasn't just her cat's name after all. The Prince visited her every night, but she never told him what her wanted to hear, so she lived the rest of her life in an 8 square room with no windows.

Week 19

I have always been a bit of a geek. I love science fiction and I love reading. I read fantasy books, because that's where my imagination roams. When I read, I get sucked into the book and I feel like I'm in the story. I used to be a straight-A student. I used to compete with other kids to get my classwork done first. I used to be the fastest and brightest kid in my grade. Now I'm lazy and I procrastinate to no extent. Other than that, I am a pretty open book. I tell everyone everything about me. I'm a pretty wild person.

Week 18

I have 5 brothers and 1 sister that I am related to by blood. I live with three of them. The oldest is Graham, who is 10. He is the bookworm of the family. He also likes sports. The next oldest is Wyatt, who is 9. He is very, very competitive. He doesn't listen to anyone unless he gets what he wants out of it as well. He is very stubborn and condescending, which drives me crazy. The youngest one's name is Jonah. He is 2. He is the most adorable baby ever. He is technically my cousin, because he is my Aunt's baby. We are adopting him because his biological mother is a drug addict. I also have two brothers in Australia. Their names are Jacob and Pheonix. I haven't seen them in over 3 years, so I don't know too much about what they are like, or what they do. When I go to Australia this summer, I will get to know them very well. And to top it all off, I have one sister named Cadence. She is a really talented girl. She lives in Australia also. I hope to become closer to all of my siblings as they grow up and mature into young adults.

Week 23

If I could go one place in the world without having to worry about travel expenses, I would take a trip to Australia. I would go visit my family in Australia. I would take my girlfriend to see all the wonders of the world. We'd go to Paris. We'd go to Bora Bora. We'd go to Fiji. We'd go to the most amazing places on the planet, and we'd visit for a day for free. We could get on big planes for overnight flights and they would fee us and we'd sleep in first class seats that recline. All of that would be part of the travel expenses.

Week 21: Celebrity Crushes...okay then.

It may be weird, but I don't really have any celebrity crushes. The only celebrities I would enjoy getting to know better are Dwayne Johnson, Johnny Depp, and David Tennant. Dwayne Johnson is an all around awesome guy. He's played so many different characters and he is one of my favorite actors. Johnny Depp is the same way. He has played so many different roles in many of my favorite movies. He's one of the best actors I've seen. David Tennant is my favorite actor from the epic television show Doctor Who. He was the tenth person to take on the iconic role of The Doctor, and he is by far my favorite. He is Scottish and he wears Converse, so he must be a pretty cool guy.

Week 20...I like my life, thanks.

Waking up in 7th grade would be one of the worst things to ever happen...ever. 7th grade was the first year I had to move away from my friends to live in Putnam County. That year was also the year that I had to say goodbye to my dog. If I woke up in 7th grade I would never have met my girlfriend. My 7th grade year was the year I met two of my best friends. I don't think I would make the same choices and the dream would never have happened. If I woke up from a dream that spanned almost 5 years, I would probably cry for like 3 months. I wouldn't remember any of my current life. I wouldn't remember my current friends. I wouldn't know how to play the guitar, piano, or ukulele. Life would be miserable.

Week 17 (/*-*)/ *flips table* \*v*/ *bird*

The future is taken over by the Chinese Empire and the Americans. China invaded the rest of Europe and Asia as well as the Middle East. America invaded Canada, Mexico, and South America. Australia still exists as an independent country because nobody actually hates Australia. China, when it invaded Japan, became obsessed with Pokemon and they succeeded in making real life Pokemon. The machine that synthesizes the digital monsters malfunctioned and manufactured thousands of Pokemon that escaped from the facility and they adapted to the outside habitat. Now there are no more birds or dogs. No more cats or horses or pigs or cows. No more worms. No more natural Earth life. The Pokemon have become the semi-dominant species. The Chinese, Americans, and Australians live happily with Pokemon as their friends and companions. Life on Earth has improved incredulously.
