The day I broke my Wrists
The day I broke my wrists was a day I’ll never forget. I was in grade four going on to grade five and summer vacation was in two days. One early school morning, three of my friends and I were discussing our favorite movie, “The Cheetah Girls”, while playing on the swings. Like little grade four’s, we wanted to be one of the characters from The Cheetah Girls. I was “Dorenda”, out of the four of them. But two of my friends Jenny, and Aimee were fighting over one of the Cheetahs, “Chanelle”. My friend Monica decided that it would be fun to have a bumping contest. Bumping means to jump in your swing while swinging, and who ever makes the whole swing rack shake and vibrate wins. Unlucky for me, I was right in the middle between both of them. First, my friend Jenny went to do her bump; her bump wasn’t so strong compared to her little body. Second my friend Aimee, who’s a much bigger girl, did her bump. Sadly I wasn’t paying any attention, I was to caught up singing one of the Cheetah Girls songs; consequently, next second, I flipped out of my swing, my wrists folded and my face smacked the wooden plank surrounding the swings. There was sand in my eyes, nose, and my mouth. I got a bloody nose, and my face was scraped and bloody. I remembered I got blood on my friend’s jacket, and she was freaking out. I just ignored that fact, and went straight to the office with Monica, and Aimee, while Jenny was whining. While I was waiting for my dad to come pick me up, the principle was saying how they weren’t broken, I wish she were right. When my dad came and took me to my mom’s hospital, I had to wait for about an hour for my x-rays. While sitting in the hospital waiting for my results, I was just thinking how my mom would react; she had always been so protective. Finally, the doctor came back, turned out I had two broken wrists. To bad summer vacation was in forty-eight hours.
Second Glance
I picked up this book called Second Glance by the author Jodi Picoult. She is an amazing writer and her books have great story lines. Second Glance is so far about a man named Ross who is a ghost hunter trying to find his dead wife after a terrible accident. I havn't got really far in the book yet, but so far its great. I picked out this book because its about ghosts, and that subject really interests me. Anyways, I'll keep an update.

Some of my favourite quotes!
-Live life like you're going to die today, dream like your going to live forever.
-Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift, that's why they call it the present
-The only mistake is the one from which we learn nothing.
-sports do not build character, they reveal it.
-Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.
These quotes really reached out to me, and every single one meant something different to me.

Commuication over Msn!
Msn is the most popular communicating tool in the 21st century. Yet, it’s the most misunderstood. Chatting over msn can be very complicated towards the person you are talking to. It is very hard for us human beings to understand what exactly is being said, and how it is being said. The fact that we can’t hear or see your body language makes it very difficult for us to fully understand you. Talking on msn was told to be the most easiest way of communicating, I think not. How is it ridiculously easy when you can barely understand the person your talking to? I’ve had msn since grade 4, and it took all those years to finally understand msn is a waste of time and all it leads to are fights, arguments, and confusion. Your most likely to act different on msn then you are in person. When your hiding behind your computer screen where no one can hear or see you, you will tend to put on a different person. People act fake, and they lead you on. If I gave one definition for msn it would be, “ an addicting communicating tool that tends to lead to nothing but trouble.” So to this day I’m still using msn, because I’m officially addicted to something pathetic and absolutely pointless.

Jacobs Perspective
In the book I’m reading right now, Breaking Dawn, many things have happened. Every character in the book all have very different perspectives on the situation right now. Bella has a best friend that is a werewolf named Jacob Black. I’ve decided to talk about his perspective on the situation right now because his really touched me. Jacob Black is a werewolf and it’s a very religious thing in his town. His family are really good friends with Bella’s and in the second book called New Moon they really connected with each other. Jacob even fell in love with Bella, but Bella could not return the feelings because her love for Edward was so strong. It really crushed Jacob when Bella got pregnant and was on the verge of death. Jacob thought she was his first and only true love, and it hurt him so badly when he saw her there lying on the couch, looking like she was going to die every other second. What I’m really enjoying in Breaking Dawn is that Jacob is getting closer with the Cullen family, and there all starting to become the best of friends. Of course Jacob thought this was impossible, knowing that vampires and werewolf’s strongly despised each other. But Jacob knew that he had to become friends with the bloodsuckers(the Cullen family, in his words) in order to see Bella. Everyone knew that Jacob was strongly in love with Bella especially Edward. He could see it, and it hurt him because he thought that Bella might of have fallen in love with him as well. Jacob was very confused because he didn’t know exactly how he felt. When you become a werewolf, something happens to you, its called imprinting. Imprinting is when a werewolf automatically falls in love with someone and you cant stay away from them and there your top priority. Jacob didn’t imprint on Bella, and that’s why he was so confused. He felt so strongly about her but he knew that he hadn’t imprinted on her, and he didn’t know why. When Bella gave birth to a girl named Renesme, she was the most beautiful little girl anyone has every seen, she was perfect in everyway, and even to Jacob. Renesme was half vampire and half human being, she was one of a kind. Jacob had this urge that he had to be with her at all times, and cared about her so much, he didn’t know why. Until he found out that he had imprinted on her. When I read that he had imprinted on her, I freaked out, I couldn’t believe it at first, I literally had to close my book and think it through, it was the biggest shock of the book yet, No one in the book could believe it either but it happens, once you’ve imprinted there’s no going back. He was surprised that he imprinted on a little baby girl, Bella was furious because she thought that Jacob would do something with her. She was wrong, all Jacobs intentions with her was that he wanted to be her best friend and be like an older brother until she turned his age then he would make a move. Werewolf’s don’t age so, he had all the time in his life to be with her. A lot of readers did not like Jacob for this reason, they thought he was a freak for imprinting on a little girl. I thought different. I was extremely happy that he had imprinted on her, he finally found his place in the world and he found out the reason he was here today, was to be with Renesme. When he imprinted on Renesme, his perspectives on vampires changed that second. He was truly fond of them, and found out that he shouldn’t of have listened to his pack, (the other werewolf’s). He was family to the Cullen’s now, and was extremely appreciative. He learnt that you can’t judge, and follow what other people say. You have to go with what your heart speaks and that’s how he found his true love Renesme, He also learnt that rules are meant to be broken, and you just have to follow your heart no matter what it feels. Enemies are only enemies if you chose for them to be.
