I have never been more frightened then when...

I have never been more frightened then when Katie Parks, Britt Fritsch and I went to see Insidious. As if the movie didn't freak us out enough, my brother did some pretty freaky things as well. First, when we were walking out of the theater we all looked into my mom's car and Skyler's face in the back window. We all started screaming so loud that my mom thought someone was approaching us from behind the car. Since we were all too scared to stay the night alone after that, Katie and Britt ended up staying the night at my house. We had to go to each of their houses to get their clothes so they could sleepover. When we got back into the car after going into Katie's house, my brother was laying in the front windshield of the car. I screamed so hard that it scared Britt and Katie in the back seat. When they finally realized what I was screaming at, they started laughing. We realized how ridiculous it all was later that night.

My weirdest dream #4

My weirdest recurring dream/nightmare...

I was swimming at a community pool one day.  I dried myself off as I got out and who do I meet?  Robin Williams.  I became really good friends with him.  When I heard the news of his death I was absolutely crushed and didn't know what to do with myself.  That night I went to bed and when I woke up the next morning, I was at the community pool again and met Robin Williams.  Somehow time got turned back or something.  This time when I met him, I tried my best to help him through what he was going through.  But despite my efforts, I heard the news of his death once more, and was extremely upset.  This whole thing kept happening until I woke up (really).  I was just really frustrated and upset because there was absolutely no resolution no matter what I did to help.  I dunno...all my dreams are weird and frustrating.

3 goals I've set for myself

3 goals that I have set for myself

1) one goal that I have set for myself in my life is to go to college at either Central Michigan, Michigan State, or Eastern Michigan and become a US history teacher. 

2) another goal I have set for myself is to graduate high school with a cumulative grade point average of above a 3.5. 

3) a third goal that I have set for myself is to grow up and have a family and to be able to fully support my family. A family of 2-3 kids and 1-2 dogs. 

5 years from now

Five years from now, i will be in the airborne rangers, trying out for Special Forces in the United States Army. I have always wanted to be in the Special Forces and i have set a course to were i will have the opportunity to try. I strive to be the best I can be and this reflects what I want to be. I want to push myself to be the best I possibly can.

Chewing Gum

Thank you beloved lord for handing me this awful tasting garlic onion chewing gum. It was a pleasure to chew on it, although its taste nearly persuaded me to cut off my beloved tongue. Don't think that I won't revenge this disgraceful action, since you made me cry for ages. I wish you all the best for your life, however you won't get unharmed away with it.

3 Goals: First Blog

Three goals that I have set for myself are...

1. Stay involved with my family and keep my friendships= I am very close to my family and I hope that it will stay that way. Along with that, I would not like to loose connection with my friends and maintain our relationships as I get older.
2. Have a good career that I enjoy= I would like to possibly get a job having to do with law enforcement. This being said, I would hopefully make a decent amount of money so that I can do my third goal...
3. Travel the world= As we all know that we only have one life to live, I would like to spend it seeing the world. It would be an adventure! Traveling the world might not be considered a goal so I am saying that it would make me very continent. This being said, my third overall goal is to be happy! :)

Worst Nightmare

Well, where do I honestly begin. I was oh, I don't know fifteen when this happened. I was but a piece of the background only able to watch as this, "monster" in human clothing was creating chaos.  Everywhere it went, I had to follow, and watch.  Watch as everyone I knew or had even just barely met were being killed in front of me.  I couldn't do anything but watch and scream in silence.  I tried to tell them to run, yet no one could hear me.  I had no idea who the man was for they had on a hood that darkened out their face.  All I could see was that when he would or was about to kill someone he would gain this wicked smile where all you could see was the glint off his teeth as he stained himself and his surroundings with blood.  He would tear people apart, cut them up, shoot them, the methods this killer had seemed to be unlimited.  When he had moved on to people I was much more familiar with such as my closer friends, I kept screaming, yelling for them to run, yet still no reaction.  When the stranger had approached them I noticed that they seemed to recognize the man; not as a known killer but as if he was a regular man.  I kept thinking and thinking of who the person could be, yet I could think of nothing.  I tried to turn around, tried to close my eyes, yet I was forced to watch the horrendous sight of this man killing all my friends.  By this point I was in tears, yet it would only get worse.  As the man moved on to his next victims, wiping the blood of my friends off of himself and just leaving the bodies where they were slain, he went next to my family.  My mom, my dad, and my brother.  When he entered the house my family was there waiting for their end.  While I could visibly see how terrified they were, in my parents eyes I could see what appeared to be disappointment hiding behind the terror.  Why? why would my parents have that in their eyes? They were disappointed in their killer and in themselves.  As the man was killing them and their blood was being splattered and sprayed throughout the room, I was thinking, and had come to a conclusion I had wished never to be true.  The tears I had kept falling as I realized who the killer truly was.  There was still a possibility that I was wrong and I hoped and hoped that I was wrong.  Finally, I saw the man wipe some of the splattered blood off of the mirror and my question was answered.  I was the killer.  All those people who had died had died by my own hand.  While I was watching myself in the mirror I noticed that all of a sudden I was in control of my own body again.  With the gun still in my hand I shakily held it up to my head and kept chanting the same words.  Starting at a whisper and gradually turning into yelling I kept repeating the words, "I'm Sorry.  I'm sorry.  I'm sorry.  I'm sorry.  I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. God forgive me." I pulled the trigger and woke up screaming.  I was crying so much.  I felt so fatigued.  I couldn't believe what I had done.  Be in a dream or not.  To know that any one can become a killer even yourself is a truly horrifying fact.  To learn what it feels like to be so disgusted at yourself for what you had thought you had done.  This dream, this nightmare I could honestly say was something that changed my life.  I look around in life and am thankful that what I saw was just a dream.  I'm thankful that I have a good family, a good home, good friends, and a good life.  The fact that I have even the slightest feeling of what it would be to kill those I know is all the more of a fact of why I would never do that.  The horror and guilt I felt welled up inside of me for days.  My family was fine, my friends were okay, and I was a sane, and logical man again.  Through this nightmare, I have learned to appreciate who I am, and who my friends and family are more knowing what I or anyone for that matter could become under severe mental trauma, problems and the likes.  This nightmare might have been a scar, but for it to be there, reminds me of why joking around of killing so many people is not a joke.  It is a horrifying and terrible thing which only results in pain.  

I have never been more frightened than when...

I have never been more frightened than the night I saw Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D.  The movie was about a serial killer who killed many people with mostly chainsaws. The movie was very frightening. When I returned home both my parents were sleeping so the whole house was very quiet. I went to my room and turned my light on and then laid down in my bed. I faced my door and had my light on the whole night. I didn't sleep much that night because I was so scared that a guy with a chainsaw was going to come through my door. That was the most frightening night of my life.

five years from now I will probably be in college. I don't really know where i'm going to college yet but it will probably be LCC. I might transfer to Western Michigan University when im done at LCC.

Augustus Waters.
I know this is super basic but I really don't even care. I think I speak on every teenage girl's behalf when I say that meeting the book character Augustus Waters from "The Fault in our Stars" by John Green would potentially be the highlight of my entire life. In both the book and the movie, Augustus is just the most perfect human being one could imagine. Sweet, funny, romantic, good looking. Like honestly, Augustus is the only thing I could ever want.

Three Goals

Three goals I have set for myself are...

1.) Always have a positive attitude. While it's not always easy to stay optimistic, I think that this is a really important part of being happy.
2.) Never stop learning. Learning helps us understand the people, places, and ideas that surround us every day.
3.) Keep in contact with family and friends even when I'm older. I think that it's important to maintain the relationships we've had since we were young. I love my family and friends a lot, and want to stay close to them.

3 Goals

19.  Three goals I have set for myself are...

The three goals I have set for myself are: 1. Graduate from MSU with a business degree; 2. Get a job in Colorado and live there; 3. Own a BMW.  Ever since I was born I was an MSU fan because both of my parents and other family members are graduates from MSU.  Also, a couple years ago my brother graduated from MSU with a business degree.  I love the MSU campus and I know their business program would give me many opportunities to start a successful career.  Also, I have loved Colorado more than any other state since I was 3 and starting skiing.  If I move to Colorado I could ski the best mountains in the world throughout the entire winter every year! Lastly, I believe that BMW's are the best cars made and would like to own one someday.

I woke up sweating and yelling stop. Apparently nothing was wrong with me, at least not in real life. In my worst dream, I was encountered by my most deepest fear. On a beautiful fall night, my best friend wanted me to go to an abandoned high school. Since it was my best friend, I definitely went with him. So, we get to this spooky high school and my best friend is crazy excited, so he blind folds me and takes me through the high school. Once we get into the place where he is super excited into bringing me to, he quickly throws hand cuffs on my ankles and throws me down onto the ground. I begin to scream as he pins me down and then he hand cuffs my hands as well. Once I'm hand cuffed and blind folded I begin to hyperventilate. He kicks me into this nasty, dark stinky filled pool. No one can hear me scream, no one will save me, I can't swim, I can't breathe, I can't see, I can't survive. I'm drowning because my "best friend" chose to kill me.

3 goals I have set...

Three goals I have set for myself are..

1. Graduate from Central Michigan University or Michigan State University with a major in business and minor in finance. 

2. Get married after college and eventually have a family of 2-3 children and a golden labradoodle. 

3. Have a very successful career so that I can provide for my family with their needs and wants. 

If and when I raise a child...

If and when I raise a child, I will never disbelieve them.  From my own experience, it is very frustrating when my own parents believe someone else over my own word that I have given them.  Therefore, I don't ever want my children to worry about me not trusting them.  I'm not saying that it's not possible for trust to be lost between a parent and a child, but I think that parents need to listen to their children more instead of listening to others first.  It's unfair for people to judge/make a decision based on information that could be false.

If I could change one thing about myself it would probably have something to do with the fact that I constantly doubt and limit myself. This causes me to miss opportunities and grow as a person. For example, I think it would be an incredible thing to pursue a career in music, but since very few people actually make it, I automatically eliminate it as a career possibility. A quote I found from William Shakespeare goes a little something like this "A coward dies a thousand times before his death, but the valiant only taste of death but once." Basically, how I view this is that when you don't take any chances or opportunities, you (figuratively) die. I think a lot of life comes from being impulsive and I want to be happy. I guess I'm just confusing, but it's all about doing whatever makes you happiest. Or something like that.

Dream

There is one dream that I had that I will never forget. It started with my mother asking my brother to go down to the basement to get a can of soup(?). Then, we heard a scream from downstairs and my brother came running up the stairs. He was saying that there was a robber down in the basement. My mom then turned into a yellow Power Ranger and ran down to the basement. We followed behind her. We watched my mother fight the robber. She won obviously and threw him out the window. Then we ate the soup in peace. :) I had this dream when I was in first grade and still remember it.

Gum

Thank you so much for that onion-garlic flavored gum!! It was very interesting, and the flavor almost never went away!! Long lasting!! It was definitely an experience. I probably wont ask for another piece because I don't want to deprive you of the different flavor. -ur frend til the end

In one of my worst nightmares I was at the beach. I found these clothes sitting on this stand and I thought they were mine but I guess they weren't. This lady came out of no where and was just screaming at me. I tried to hit her but for some reason when I hit her it wasn't a hard hit and it didn't even hurt her. I tried to run and I couldn't move! Then finally I could run, she chased me and tried to get me; and then I woke up. It was terrifying and I learned a valuable lesson about who's clothes are who's.

Describe a real nightmare

A few months ago I had a scary nightmare. I had just arrived home in my car when I noticed a man standing there in front of my garage door. I opened the door and asked him what he was doing, when he suddenly turned around and chased me. I immediately ran towards my front door and got inside just in time. The man began to pound on my door continuously, and I noticed it began to crack. Right when I turned around I noticed another man standing in the center of the room. At the same time the guy outside broke the door down. With in an instant both men tackled me to the ground, and I noticed that they were zombies. Right as they began to bite down I woke up. When I woke up my heart rate was super fast and I felt like my body temperature was 110. That is one of the most horrific nightmares I had experienced in my life.

Garlic Gum

 If and when I raise children, I'll never... Hit them.  I'll never call them mean names or degrade them for making human mistakes when I make them myself.  I'll never tell them their feelings aren't valid.  I'll never disregard their feelings because I'm 'too busy'.  I'll never make rules for them only for my convenience.  I'll never tell my kids that they aren't important and make them feel like less of a person because I've got adult things to do.  I'll never make them feel like they don't belong. 

In my worst nightmare I was with my friends exploring my back yard.  We saw a broken down old car and when we went up to it, it started to smell funny. when we went up to it we found a dead, decomposed lady and as a was about to call the police it grabbed my neck. Then I woke up.

2. Dear Mathusila Honeysuckle,
Thank you oh so much for the stick of gum. It was so delicious! No one talked to me after a month of chewing it. But it was worth it! The onion and garlic-flavored gum really refreshed me after a long day of school. :) Thanks again!!

Chewing Gum

Dear Heather,
I highly enjoyed the garlic flavored chewing gum you graced me with 4th hour.  My breath just smelled to good after my lovely lunch and you totally helped my mouth smell disgusting, and I thank you for that.  Now I can go the rest of the day repelling people with just the scent of my mouth!  Garlic is a totally underrated flavor of chewing gum and I hope in the near future people see the great effects it has. 
So I thank you Heather,
Marissa Pease 

Chewing gum

Dear Marissa,
           This is the worst thing you have ever done. Why on earth would anyone want garlic and onion flavored chewing gum. It is so repulsive and it makes your breath smell! Today was by far the worst day of my life thanks to you. I'm not even sure the smell will go away. I think we might need to take you to the doctors this is becoming an issue with you.


                                                                            Sincerely,
                                                                  Maybe your friend Heather

(5)      When I was a kid, I absolutely loved legos. With any free time I had, I was playing with legos. I think my favorite lego set that I ever got was the Pirates of the Caribbean Pirate ship set. Also, I enjoyed Harry Potter lego sets. Even my brother enjoyed playing with legos. I feel as if that was a activity that brought my brother and I together in my childhood. Legos arn't apart of my life anymore, but I will defiantly remember them as a large part of my childhood.

Rome

753 BC Rome. I'd go back to ancient Rome because I've always been fascinated with ancient Rome. I would be a Roman soldier and train every day to become the best soldier in Rome. I would live every day on the edge and hope for the best when we would go to war  

My hero

My hero is my uncle Gregg.  He was there for me when my parents weren't. He contacted the police when I was struggling with bullying.  He was there when I needed to talk about my feelings as well.
