Angry Birds

Angry Birds is officially the best game in the world. I am completely obsessed with the game. I play the game all day, I downloaded it on my Ipod Touch. I don’t know who created this wonderful game, but if I did I would fall in love with the instantly. The point of this game is to make little green animals that look like pigs explode. The game gives you birds that you fling so they fall on structures and break also breaking the green pigs. The red birds are normal birds that don’t do anything special. The blue birds break into three birds, the yellow birds smash into wood very quickly. There are also black birds that are actually bombs and white birds that drop eggs from the sky. There are three levels in the game with different stages and I am currently in the third level on the second stage and I am finding it impossible to pass. But still I love this game and recommend it to anyone who wants to be entertained for hours and hours at a time.

April 1st

April fool’s day is on April first as all of you know but it is also the birthday of two friends of mine. That must be a horrible thing. I know that my friends always try to joke around and pull pranks on April fool’s day. If I didn’t know them as well as I do I wouldn’t believe that their birthdays were actually on April first. It must suck to tell someone that it is your birthday and having them not believe you. Making jokes like it is your birthday or something of the kind is so common on April Fool’s that no one would believe you. It sucks, but I still love them.

Two Sides

Most of my friends don’t believe me when I tell them I like to read. It gets irritating sometimes, but, I guess it’s my fault. I am the friend that is loud and is never shy. I am always doing something, it might be singing, jumping up and down or anything else, I hate sitting still. Most of my friends now that side of me, but I am also the girls that likes to read to relax, to be quiet. At school or at parties I definitely am not the same person that I am if I am alone at home. Right now I am reading a book called “Thirteen Reasons Why” it is about a girl who committed suicide and she recorded that thirteen reasons why.  Reading this book really made me think of how little things that we do, things that at the moment don’t mean anything to us can hurt someone. It made me realize that when all those little things add up to something big and how they can make someone feel bad enough about themselves to make them think about hurting themselves. Anyways apart from that book my English class is reading another one called Animal Farm about the Russian revolution which I also thing is very interesting. Learning about it and reading what actually happened is unbelievable and super interesting. I can honestly say that English is my favorite class, even though that might surprise some of my friends.

DREAMS

So the other day I was in one my classes, more specifically ancient civilizations. We started talking about dreams. He told us that most people have the same reoccurring dream sometimes, I know I do. We talked about hos when we get the feeling that we already done something, that it had already happened, that dasa vu felling it is because we’ve dreamt about it. He told us that his dream or nightmare as he put it was that there was always this big rock that was about to squash him right before he wakes up, I thought it was kind of funny. We also talked about how there are certain dreams that make us wake up when we feel we fall into a whole or off a cliff or jump into water, and we all agreed it sucks.  So my super awesome ancient civ teacher taught us about dreams that class and I have to admit it was interesting. Some of the things that I learned in that class I still think about before I go to bed sometimes. Even though it was super interesting to learn about that, it was also weird and creepy.

CHAIN REACTION

Lately the people of some countries have been revolting against the leaders. Most of the countries that have gone through this have gotten rid of their leaders. All of these rebellions started with Tunisia that revolted and got their leader out of the country. Since then more countries are following their lead. Egypt did this getting rid of their leader of many years; his name is Mubarak who had been in power in Egypt from 30 years. After this Libya started to protest and is now in the middle of a civil war. The majority of the country wants their leader of 41 years, Gadhafi, out of power. Gadhafi said that if they wanted him out there would be war, and as promised there now is. International air forces are helping the people of Libya to fight against their leader bombing military bases. Everyone is against Gadhafi, the only person that might help him is Chavez, the president of my country, Venezuela. French and American planes have completely destroyed Libya’s air force with bombs.   Even with this civil war going on in Libya Syria has the courage to start protesting, this is some revolutionary where the people of a country are fighting against the leader and the armies of their own country for what they want. It has been a chain reaction, one country after another. One interesting thing about these rebellions is that the countries that this is happening in are Arab countries. This is definitely a chain reaction that is causing hope by showing people that their leaders are no invincible.
