Microwaveable Jewelry
I hope most of you know that I do stained glass. If you don't you can't properly call me a friend. I do stained glass, but I also do fused glass (where you put glass in designs in a giant-cylinder-oven-thing to roast at 1500 degrees). The kiln (the giant-cylinder-oven-thing) I have is about 2 feet in diameter, but recently, I just got a tiny, microwave kiln. You heat up the kiln not through electricity or gas, but with the microwave, hence the name. Here's the process: first, you make a design, approximately fifteen to twenty minutes. Then, you stick it in the microwave kiln and microwave it for three minutes. Upon taking it out, you have to let it sit for about half an hour, to let the glass cool, while it is bright hot orange. Then, you can take it out, but have to leave the kiln to sit for another half hour. This process of one and a half hours is much more convenient than an eight hour excursion. Then, voila!!! You have whatever you made, a necklace, earrings, whatever fit inside there. Hah, who would've known, jewelry baked in a microwave!

Who would've know that garfield and Jon were such pranksters...
Hi, this is my first post, and... uh... yeah.
So here I go, everybody knows that Halloween is coming up, so I thought I would just get us all into the "Halloween mood" with a few funny cartoons. After all, there's nothing wrong with a few jokes, right? (I hope you find these funny... :P)
Now, you tell me, WERE THOSE FUNNY OR WHAT! (I really hope you could see them... or did I paste them in wrong...)

Living Life Lively
When someone asks you definition of life, how would one answer?Would one explode in a full scientific spiel?Noun:1.The condition that distinguishes animals and plants from inorganic matter, including the capacity for growth, reproduction, functional... Or would you prefer something softer such as: The time one spends on planet earth as an active organism. Still, you could single yourself in on religion and try: the time on land before God takes you home. How ever you define life, has much to do with how you live life... or so I think. The scientific definer would in my eyes appear as an intelligent human with knowledge of the world, possible a doctor or scientist who cares about living with a surplus, or maybe one who simply reaps knowledge and does not wish for money or fame. The middlest choice might as well be a doctor or researcher, just it might not seem as likely... do you see know how much one can assume and interpret from an indivduals definition of live... imagine what one could grasp from definition of love. It all has to do with attentivenes... Don't YOU think?

Bobby the blobby.. A story about a guy that you might form unnecissary conclusions about, when they are always true.
There once was a boy named Bob. Now, as soon as you read that sentence, you most likely pictured Bob as an extremely boring and normal guy. I am very sorry to disappoint you, but he is not, definitely NOT an ordinary boy. In fact, he is so out of the ordinary, that he didn't even deserve that first sentence.
You might ask why Bob was named Bob, after all, he is a complex guy, and the simplest name does not quite fit him. Well, for one thing, Bob was the first name that popped into my mind, and for another, it would be hard for me to remember any other name.
Before I start the story of Bob the insane, I am going to put myself in your position. Okay, if I was a reader reading this post, I would be asking myself what makes this "Bob" so extraordinary. I am the author, so it it probably my job to answer that question right away. Any sane author would so that. However, much like Bob, I am insane. So there is my excuse--I wont tell you what makes Bob so different, you'll have to figure it out yourself. But I guess it is my job to answer that buzzing question. To rid yourselves from the pain, the annoyance, the angry bee in your mind. Well, here goes. You are now thinking (especially alexandra) that bob is some sort of mutant. Just like the numerous literature pieces that have been focused on mutated children. (X-men, Obernewtyn, ...)
Sorry to tell you, but you are wrong, or if you want, you are right. Bob is merely a figment of your imagination. You could picture him as a blob. A slushy, deformed piece of nothing that has the power to evade all laws of physics and of life. He can float in mid air, he can live forever, he can not have any body, but still be alive. Bob is someone for you to play around with. He can be anybody you choose, and does not even have to be a person. He can be a nothing, a death, a space. Anything.................
Feel free to comment about your bob the blob. How possibly awesome can you make him, or how utterly defying can he be?
Dun, dun , dun, dunnnn..............

School
It has come to my attention that no one has posted in awhile. I'm guessing it's since school started (aren't I so smart?). And the tons of homework. I mean, we go to school for 6 hrs and 40 min. Then we come home and have at least 2 more hrs of schoolwork. Is it fair? No. Just like boy-girl sitting. And it's definitely not fun.
People who take geometry (or latin, I guess, but you were the ones who decided to choose it) have it the worst. And I'm sure next year you will have even more homework when you take geometry. But is it fair that since we lose 4 days of school we get 20 extra problems each night? I mean, at the rate we're going, a section per night, I'm sure we'll finish the whole book before the school year has even ended. We're already halfway through chapter 2 and it's still september!
Did I just complain about school for two long paragraphs? Sorry about that. I guess I'm talented. But I'm sure everybody agrees about this too...
