Missing My Relatives

Last year, my family went through something that caused our relationship to be strained. Since then, I haven't heard much from my aunt Echo and my cousins Eric, Scott, Kara, and Bradley. They used to come visit us, but now they don't. I miss them a lot. My cousins Kara and Bradley and my aunt Echo has Facebook accounts, but I am scarred to add them as friends because they might tell my dad and he might get mad. I love them and miss them a whole lot. I wish that I could see them again and everything won't be so strained.

First Time I Was Hurt

I was 12-13 years old and it was close to the end of the school year. I was to take the trash out while my dad and brother were cooking supper. I was barefoot and while taking the trash out, something in the trashbag cut my toe. I started bleeding a lot. My mom had to soak my toe in peroxide to make sure that no glass was still in my toe. The loss of so much blood made start feeling dizzy and I became sick. After that, my mom bandaged my toe and helped me walk into the living room to eat supper.

Last CD I Bought

The last cd I bought was Ke$ha's album "Animal." I am a fan of her music and I think she is a great artist. I was with my mom in the mall. I have money burning a hole in my pocket, so I wanted to buy some things. At Vanity, I bought a few shirts and earphones. I bought the cd at Hot Topic. They had a shirt that featured Kesha on it, but I only had $11. The shirt cost $22 and the cd cost $9.99 and I didn't want to have to resort to my mom for more money. Let me tell you, that was the best decision I made that day. There is never a day that I don't listen to some of the songs from the cd.

Why I Am Almost Always Online

When I am at home, I am online a lot. That is because I have to listen to my favorite songs, that I don't have downloaded, on YouTube. We used to have Napster Music Downloads, but that started messing up on us, so we had to cancel that service.

I also have a Facebook account that I check everyday. My dad doesn't know that I have one, but he has one himself, but my mom and I haven't told him that we each have a profile. I talk to my friends and family.

The last reason that I am online is because for school purposes. I use Google to search for information to complete my projects that are due. I am currently working on a powerpoint about Popular Culture of the 1950s for U.S. History.

My Favorite Quote

"To me, there's nothing freer than a bird, you know, just flying wherever he wants to go. And, I don't know, that's what this country is all about, being free. I think everyone wants to be a free bird."-Ronnie Van Zant.

This is my favorite quote because he is exactly right. Everyone does want to be free from any problems or other things. We want to fly away, relax, and not worry about anything. If you have heard the song "Free Bird" by his band Lynyrd Skynyrd, then you know what he is describing. If you haven't, I suggest that you do. Listen to the lyrics and you will feel, well, the feeling is indescribable. It is an amazing song. Ronnie is right, everyone wants to be a free bird.
