Week 6B - Party of the Year!

Well since I get to host the Party of the Year, it's going to be a great time! I would probably get Lin's Buffet to cater since they have great Chinese food. And there would be a lot of snacks and appetizers like bread sticks and french fries with cheese, ice cream, oreos, and all that yummy stuff! Since I can only invite 10 people,they would be Emily Swigart, Tiffany, Ellyn, Sara, Elisha, Amanda, Laura Good, Jennica, Liz, and Kortnee because this is an all-girl sleepover party - sorry Brigs. :) For the music entertainment at my party, I would have Starfield because they are an awesome fun band. The party would be held at Menno Have Camp because it's awesome and we could camp out on a peninsula. And peninsulas are pretty cool, so that would make my party even more awesome. And we would do fun stuff like play guitar hero!

Week 5B - A Star is Born

If I had to pick a type of movie to star in, it would be a mix between a musical and a romantic comedy. Those are usually some of my favorite movies. I'd like to do that type of movie because I can get into them and could have fun with it. But I wouldn't want it to be your everyday movie. Something out of the ordinary would have to happen and it wouldn't necessarily end in a happily ever after. And it would be a western since I could wear a cowboy hat. :)
I think it would be set in a small town somewhere in the west. My costars would be Don Knotts (if he was alive) and Julie Andrews when she was younger because she could sing like crazy! Oh and Tim Conway because he's hilarious! So that's a really weird mix of actors, but it would turn out amazing!

Week 4B - What a Fright!

I have had a lot of scary moments, but it's really hard to remember them all. So my biggest funny scary moment was probably when I was at camp and we were playing a game called "Sniper" which is just an enhanced version of hide-and-seek. We couldn't use flashlights and were walking around the camp in the dark, which in itself was pretty scary. But then people in my group started talking about Texas Chainsaw Massacre and we were all pretty freaked out. So we were all walking together and my friend Aaron was walking a little behind us and someone forgot he was there and looked behind them and thought it was someone sneaking up on us and started screaming. So the rest of us basically jumped out of our skin since we weren't expecting that and were all screaming too. I guess you really had to be there to know how funny it was, but it was a good time.

Week 3B - Offend Nobody

In the right of freedom of speech, it's easy to offend people. so we have to be careful what we say. but at the same time, people need to know the different opinions in the world whether they are offensive or not. when you're presenting a point that may be offensive, or any point for that matter, you need to be respectful to those listening. there is a way to tell your point of view without offending people more than is necessary.
I guess we do have censorship in school because there are certain things we are expected to say and do without question. and in some things we aren't really allowed to give our opinion.

Week 2B - Nature vs. Nuture

It's hard to say which has more influence because your nature and your upbringing play a huge part in who you become. It's nature because you are born with natural talents and God has a purpose for you even before you're born. So the things you are naturally good at and enjoy are going to guide how you act and respond to things and where you go with your life.
but then you have the influence of people around you and that changes how you act and respond to things because of how you were taught. and people around you tell you how to act and what to do with your life.
i think that nature has the biggest impact, though, because there are lots of times that parents want their kids in a certain profession, but the kid decides to do what he/she enjoys naturally, not what the people around them want them to enjoy.

Week 1B - Must See TV!

If I was going to create a sitcom, I would try to make it more interesting than a lot of current ones. a lot of shows are all the same and all the same things happen. but that would be hard because there aren't many ideas that haven't already been tried. but I think I would make mine about a family. families usually have a lot of problems and there's a lot going on. that would keep the show interesting and appealing to a larger group of people since there are people of all ages in the show. I think I would set it in England. people would be interested in seeing a place besides the U.S. and it would give a setting different from what Americans see every day. and I would like to find some actors that are new and not too overdone to star so that i could start the show with it's own reputation, not the actors.

Week 7 - Grizzly Me!

i would probably go live near a lake in the woods somewhere. i love this type of setting, so this would be perfect if i had to live out in the wilderness by myself. i would expect to see a lot of fish and turtles near the lake. and probably deer and squirrels in the woods. i would like this spot because it would provide a variety of things to do with a lake to boat in or hiking in the woods. and it would be a very peaceful place. it would be hard to go that long without other people because i love people and would rather be with someone else than by myself most of the time. and if i had to get my own food that would be very hard because i know nothing about hunting. i can fish, though! and as for personality/philosophy changes, i think i could learn a lot about myself out there alone. and i could learn a lot about nature and things that happen with plants and animals. and i might see the world and people differently after being away from them. but i think i would definately be happy to go home again because i would get lonely.

Week 8 - Trick-or-Treating!

well i have never been trick-or-treating, so i don't have any amazing stories or costumes. but i imagine it's pretty fun since you get lots of candy! liz wittrig and i have been planning to go trick-or-treating for the last few years, but it has never worked out, so we are going this year. one year we were going to dress up as football players which would have been pretty awesome since we are both hardly over 5 feet tall!
my dad really enjoys passing out candy for some reason, so i helped with that most years. i remember one year that i was about 5 and some high school kid that seemed really big at the time came up to our house for candy with a very frightening mask on. i ran away so i wouldn't have to see it anymore, but for about the next week i was always afraid he would pop up somewhere. :o
