It's More Than Just A Game

Written in Heaven: Another Disturbing Story

My mom and I have never really had a good relationship. We’re always getting mad at each other over something. I forgot what it was that we was that we were arguing about the other day, but it started from (Okay, I’ll admit it,) the usual complaint from me, and often, a defensive excuse back from her, (and vice versa.) We go to sleep, wake up, and forget about it. I haven’t learned a lot of things in my short life, but one thing I’ve learned, is that it doesn’t always work that way.

Winter Break: A Summary

Today is January 3rd, the second-to-last day of winter break. I got some good rest, but I still don't feel completely refreshed. See, there was a lot I was working on this break. I have a Scratch project that I'm hoping to get completed (for those who've never heard, Scratch is this online programming website that I use), but that's just a side project. If my productivity drops to zero, there aren't too serious consequences. But then, next weekend, there's another forensics tournament I need to attend, at Pacific University. I'm going to be debating again. And if you remember my previous whine rant about debate, you know that we don't get along.

"Quotes"

Starting last year, I've kept a book that I call my "Quote book" with me at all times.
If someone says something funny, I write it down.
If someone says something interesting, I write it down.
I've found that they are quite fun to look through and read, and remember all of the "had-to-have-been-there" moments.
What I also like about it is I can hold it against my teachers and peers. They say a lot of things, and a lot of times they don't realize what they are saying.
Mr. Parrish, my English teacher, is now sure to be extra careful about what he says in 7th Period.

"I eat caterpillars."

-Mr. Parrish

"Nothing on your phone is more interesting than me."

-Mr. Line

"If you don't know how to do it, do it wrong. Do it TOTALLY wrong."

-Mr. Guthrie

"I'm too strong to yawn."

-Sr. Montiel

"Order is beautiful."

-Mr. Miles

Rapid's Oratory- The Threat to Net Neutrality

Welcome to another edition of forensics with Rapid, the world's fastest Emboar Trickmaster. Today, we have an oratory speech- The goal of this speech is to persuade people to take an action. I hope this speech persuades you all to take action against the removal of net neutrality. Enjoy~

Let us take a moment to reflect on how amazing the internet is. How awesome it is that you can type in a few words, and a few clicks of a mouse later, you have access to your favorite meme database. However, a new threat has risen concerning net neutrality, a series of laws that keep prevent internet providers from taking too much control. The internet is an equal society, but if the delicate balance of powers is lost, your lolcat can kiss it’s cheezburger goodbye. And that’s what will happen soon, thanks to a courtroom case in January. Due to a technicality brought up in court on January 2014, internet providers may soon have the power to control what we can see on the internet. The internet is supposed to be a free and open place! But the big question we should ask here is- How can we save our internet? Here, I will explain the basics of net neutrality, the big threat to net neutrality, and how we can save net neutrality. We must protect our internet. We must preserve net neutrality.

This quote speaks to me because it was created by my role model and something like this almost writes my life for me. I strive to push myself everyday and make myself better.
 

Our Group

clique

[ klēk, klik ]

noun

a small group of people, with shared interests or other features in common, who spend time together and do not readily allow others to join them.

Aside from the "not allowing others to join them," Since we came to Marshfield, our highly creative group of ten have traveled together through to our Sophomore year. We sit and talk before school in the morning, eat lunch together and go to classes together. We are a close-knit group. Since there are so many of us, and we are all in college-prep and advanced classes, we end up having classes with at least two or three others from the group. It's really nice to have a group of close friends that you always have around to help each other.
 There are a couple places in the school that we have hung out over the years, and each place has a special significance to me. During the last two years, our group has eaten lunch in Mrs. Hampton's room everyday, and our eighth grade year we ate at the same table in the back of the cafeteria.

Debate

I don't like debate. So, why am I in it? I'm stuck in a position where I don't want to be with no hope of escape. Everyone thinks I can be a debater. Everyone says I can be a debater. Everyone wants me to be a debater.

So, I'm a debater.

Debate is slowly killing me. I'm unable to keep up with whatever happens in the room, either in practice or the meet. I'm called upon, I don't know what to answer. I know nothing about debate. And I will always know nothing about debate. But every time I pull something amazing off, people think that's just typical for me. They expect me to do well. They expect me to do more than I am capable of, with no thoughts to my sanity.

Because, according to everyone, I'm beyond human capability.

November-ness is...

November-ness is family get-togethers,

November-ness is turkey and side dishes,

November-ness is the falling leaves and

the cold chill of the wind,

November-ness is the left over Halloween candy

that nobody wanted,

November-ness is having Christmas decorations

already in the stores,

November-ness is the bridge, the connecter, between

two holidays,



LNG:Project

The LNG: Project brings  a lot  of new jobs to the economy. The LNG: Project is a natural gas plant. This gas plant brought a new life to my family. My dad got a job because of the gas plant which caused us to move to a new city. This city will also have to make a new port to ship in all of the pipes. The port will be utilized more. LNG will bring a brand new reliable source of energy. The LNG: Project is going to make a training safety course to get the workers ready. The state is bringing in welders from California, Washington, and many others states. With all the workers coming here, they will have to build more homes that will bring more jobs to the economy. I'm thankful the LNG: Project brought a new life to me and my family, I have been very happy with this move.

Profile: TrickmasterRapid

Trickmaster Rapid is a Trickmaster Heartless wandering about Wonderland. He doesn't actually attack anyone- unlike other Heartless, he doesn't seek out the hearts of others, seemingly taking the original Rapid's pacifistic trait. As the Heartless of Rapid, since Rapid takes his traits from a real person behind a computer, he is similar to Rapid's trainer in a way. Trickster Rapid is shy and introverted "socially paranoid", and avoids people just like his real-world counterpart. However, he is surprisingly active online. (Yeah, they have internet down there) His real-world counterpart is also an avid gamer, and generally makes video game related jokes and references that generally no one gets. (Such as this one.) He's also the guy who comments on everyone's posts.

The Christmas Season

I think "The Christmas season" starts when we take out the Christmas decorations. Not the Christmas trees, but the lights, little snowmen, and toy Santas. Some people put them out too early, they take the stores' suggestion to put them up right after Halloween. The people who wait until after thanksgiving to put up their decorations, they are the true Christmas season starters. At our house my mom gets out the Christmas cups and mugs along with the placemats for the table. We turn on the Christmas music, and really get in the season of things. When we get cozy in the house with the Christmas music going and we are putting up the decorations, it finally feels like Christmas.

Basketball!

   IT'S HERE! It's finally basketball season. My team is getting pumped for the season. We had our first tournament of the season last weekend and we placed 4th. Currently we are 8-2 in are league and are looking for another win tomorrow. We have a better record than our varsity team. I am a starter on our team and am a team leader, if you will. I try to make big plays on the offensive and defensive ends of the court, but when I'm not going for an and one, I am boosting the other players by helping them be in the right spot and keeping their heads up after a missed shot. One thing that helps me to get in the zone is to watch The Blazers play the night before. They're my favorite NBA team, and are having a great year. I just love basketball.
