Where Thunder Roars

I should be doing online math homework.

And I’M TRYING D:

I know I can do this, but I just don’t want to. :B

Blah.

To be honest, I don’t even think I read half of it before my eyes rolled into my head.

In other news…

…@_@

I wrote this for a reading project. Enjoy!

How not to play the Bass Clarinet Monologue

• Wet your reed right. But don’t pour gallons of spit on it.
• Blow the perfect amount of air, if you over blow it will create an awful high pitch squeaking noise.  If you under blow then not a peep will come out.
• You are important but do not play like a regal marching band. Softly playing is worse as not playing at all.
• Absolutely do not eat your mouthpiece or do not delicately put a small amount of the mouthpiece in your mouth.
• Practice all the time not once or twice.
• Memorize the notes but do not slack.  You might as well drop the instrument.
• Remember your sharps and flats, if you do not pay attention to the key signature or signs the sounds you make will cause a total wreck.
• Fake fingering the instrument is entirely unwelcome. But either way you’ll soon to be caught!
• The endpin should stand at a comfortable height. Not low to the ground or high above the ceiling.
• Don’t look like a giant paper bag with your puffing cheeks. Control those cheeks!  
• Sit up straight; don’t hunch your back like the gateway arch.
• Your streams of air shouldn’t be like a horse galloping to the finish line. Totally don’t make your air as slow as a turtle racing the hare!
• Keep the same tempo as everyone, if you run along with the song. Then the band will be awfully out of tune
• Mimicking the sound your clarinet is entirely wrong. Oh, why in the first place did you even try to play the instrument?  
• Don’t overbite you embouchure, under biting is also thrice as worse.

Hello everybody! I have to do yet again a stupid project in reading!! Well, back to my life
Mod 1~A boring MSA review it was like 4 pages long. And our teacher wasn’t even there. She was at a wedding in key west. All warm and not having homework LUCKY! I finished. Strangely, I have a lot to work on…circumfurance and how to find the area of triangles. Gotta remember that
Mod 2~BAND!!!! Woot I got to use my “good” bass clarinet. And I mean I sounded AMAZING!!! We are playing like 3 scales. And when Mrs.Wilson tries to practice the F scale with us….I get confuzzled. My band buddy Sean wasnt their sad. We talk for like the whole time! Mrs.wilson tested me for my scales in thirds. She said I was beautiful bravismma to me! YAY!! Well, I helped Emily play her low notes. I is soo proud of my self ^.^
Mod 3~Air pressuure…THE MOST CONFUSING THE EVER!!!! Ok not  really maybe thats like stimulus linear equations XP Troy made a cake for his EC project. It was amazing and he made it all by himself! :O
Mod 5/6~Everybody pressed their noses against the window hoping for rain. Or maybe this is an exaggeration…. ANYWAYS! greg was like to Daniel “I know who Emily’s perfect boyfriend is!! A crack dealer!!” *laugh laugh laughfle* Lemme tell you I’m all ears for that! Isabella brought in this yummy choco bar So good! Emily was like “Brandon is a liar” randomly when everyone was quiet. Not much excitement cause we wanted to use Princess Strayers’s wireless keyboard. But I didn’t get a turn :’(
Mod 7/8~King henry speech for the fist half. Ni excitement like always! I doodle endlessly. The next mod we went into the library which is a “luxury” for us. Evan got like a really big stack of books. I was reading this gory passage from Forge which went like this: “this british soldier fell backwards-screaming, screaming, screaming-his hands clutched his belly. He’d been gutshot. The musket ball had ripped his middle right open. he rolled back and forth screaming and screaming as the blood welled up covering his hands, rushing out of him to flood the fallen leaves and dirt. His boot twitched, his entire form shook, shuddered, and then choked, for the blood filled his throaty, and his red-washed fingers clawed at his neck. broken leaves flew in the air from the violence of his thrashing, and the gore and blood kept pouring from the black hole in his belly(GROSSNESS!) and from his mouth-surely enough blood for ten men………” Ny Laurie Halse Anderson, Forge. XP
Art~Typical Matt vs Victor and occasionally cursing. He sounded like a crazy fool. This guy I know has a 10-year-old sis dating weird………….
Well, I’m trying to finish my speech and my book. it’s quit good. Well, I have to eat my dinner now and get of the computer so BYE!!!

1st period: We were supposed to bring in baby pictures…as I already said. I asked Mrs. Poussong for the egg picture back since I knew I’d probably get in trouble and brought in an actual picture. Everyone got a hold of it and started laughing at me. >.-

2nd period: Whee! We’re starting the Middle Ages in S.S! Apparently if you do something good, you get a…feudal something card? And if you do something bad you get a “Black Plague Card” where you have to do a jig in front of your homeroom or something. I think I might forget my homework on purpose soon. o3o I’m tempted to see where this may lead! We all got assigned random titles and “castles”. Apparently I am “Lady Aliena the Kind, Daughter of Lord Thomas, betrothed to Sir Leopold the Young, Knight of something something estate”? Mehhhh…long title. At least I’m a noble, heh heh.

3rd: Pffffffft. I got 4th chair >3< I guess it’s not that bad, but I know someone who got 3rd chair in the silver band, and she’ll most likely gloat to me.

4th: Not much to tell.

5th: I forgot about my homework today, but I didn’t get to draw a Black Plague card :C I was told to bring it in tomorrow, and even now I don’t feel like doing it. >.>

6th: We were playing Password* as a review. I was on Team A. Our score against Team B was 9-8, us losing. It was my turn, and I knew it depended on me getting it right to tie us. As soon as I sat down and my science teacher clicked for the next word, there was a silence for several seconds. Then my teacher said, “Ooh…this is hard.” I sat there, confused and panicking, listening to my team shout “Uh…units! In space!” until my time ran out. I guess light years, but it was apparently astronomical units. I was nearly in tears as I went back to my seat, because I knew everyone on my team would be upset at me. It didn’t matter, because then my teacher said that she didn’t teach us about that one and that I got another chance. That got Team B all ticked at me. Therefore, if I didn’t get it right, both teams would be extremely angry!

Luckily, it was retrograde rotation, and we tied. But I watched as the teacher left the room to go talk to my math teacher; whilst Team A high fived me and cheered, I had Team B on the other side giving me “Loser” signs and and calling me a cheater and freak.

It wasn’t my fault I got that question! Either way, I would’ve made one team or the other or even both upset at me…so…I had nothing to win.

*Password is a game where it’s split into teams. As one person goes up and sits down, their back to the word, their team tries to give them clues and definitions as to what it is. In our Science version, we only have 12 seconds.

Enough about me…

random picture time!

repeat picture. wewt...*o*

RCG, I need you to use your skills! The two eggs on my eggies post need to grow up! lease help! They only have 3 days left and I love my eggies!

Just wanted to say that.. I LIKE POPCORN!

GRANT HUNGRY!

…I noticed how one day, I signed onto this site that asked me if I wished to store my IP address into its database so it would remember me.

When asking, it also displayed my IP address.

It told me the wrong IP address.

And then I noticed this.

Why would someone post this? It would be a dead giveaway. I never searched that in Google. Did they use horrible grammar on purpose? D:

I suspect it was the click sites that did this…I knew I shouldn’t have trusted em o3o

EDIT: I went into this site, whatismyipaddress.com

IT DISPLAYED THE WRONG IP ADDRESS. AGAIN

AHHHH

Good news  My dad’s getting me a tennis bag. And I’m almost done vamp assassins.
Bad news house of anubis finale hasnt come out and I lost my tennis match :’( Yah it was like 2 sets to 3!! Uck I failed epicly at my serves. Sad, Sad, sad.
Well, picture day is tomorrow. And I’m determined not to look stupid. Nigahiga is da bomb! And cant forget kevjumba! Woot amazing race today! But they didn’t bring back kevjumba. I should file a complaint.
I got alot of awesome dragons! Thanks drag cave! Most of them r speckled. Here they r:

Also, please click this one. I want him or her to GROW!

here’s a little something lol:

The “Cave”

I sauntered cautiously and avoided the nasty, hairy, brown cockroaches that scuttled everywhere. Deep, grumbling echoed in the surrounding.  Screech! A bat shrieked and its hairy wings brushed my face. It lingered around for a while and I seemed to enjoy its company. I could feel death creeping around my shoulder. Boxes that were boosted up were like big boulders. There were abnormally shaped rocks in every corner.  It was thick black and I couldn’t catch a glimpse of anything. The floor seemed like 5 layers of rock filled dirt. The air smelled like a blend of dead animal carcasses and bugs. Were there any more animals that will disrupt my expedition and kill me? I also noticed a skeleton on the ground and made me worried.   A puddle of water is a huge, blue lake. Will this long journey ever come to a stop? I had discovered a small flashlight. The light made my basement feel secure and it was no longer terrifying. My imagination had made the basement a repulsive place to be.
I wrote this for reading you like?
Oh, yah me and my family were looking at parakeets. I might get one for ma bday ^.^
Adios!
                                   ~Randy
        1 month and 1 day til my bday!!

I noticed three.

Three eggs that were rare in the cave.

One, a gold dragon.

Two, a purple dino.

Three, a silver dragon.

Each time I went to my scroll as soon as I reloaded the main cave!

And you would never find one in the AP, no one wants to part with those kinds of eggs!

I think I’ll go bang my head against the wall now.

Me being stupid aside, I found out I only need five more eggies until I have all of the common ones. The nebula, the geode, the sunsong, and the spring and summer ones!

But I never seem to be able to catch em. :c And when ever I attempt to breed a green and a stone, I never get a geode dragon. Fffuuu. >3<

All the hatchlings/eggs I have as of now are all repeats.

But please click/view em anyway!

Also, I was being stupid and accidentally removed some of the live eggs and hatchlings when I was actually just trying to remove the dead ones and adults…if I removed yours, can you put them back? I can’t retrieve them. Sowwy -.-”

Check out these cool burger pictures XD (Not a fan of em, but hey, they look cool!)

now, for my queer contribution:

They don't call me the "Queen of Quirk" for nothing

On Facebook, I was hiding a tagged picture of mine with my settings set to Pirate Language:

It makes me feel powerful. C:

Do any of you guys remember that website I advertised a while ago? Well, Now I have a picture of it. This is my city, Grantm56opolis.

This is my city in ancient Greece, Grantm56opolis.

Heres a ballad i wrote for reading. I am quite the poetic freak. Well, read, hate, enjoy, comment and throw tomatoes at your computer.
Ballad of Strength
Stay strong and they’ll be free
That is the only way you see
This rubble will be lifted
Stay close to your safety bubble
Let someone help

It was January 12^th, 2010
Paul was going to pick up his daughter, Angela
So he got on the plane
And went along his way
But what he didn’t know was that…..
In Haiti he was in for a surprise
Time passed
Tick tock!

Oh! He was finally here
For the air smelled like, debris?
As he walked around
He realized an earthquake had hit
People screamed in fear
Children bruised and cut
Buildings collapsed
The ground laughed and shook
Causing people to fall
Mocking everybody

He found enough courage
To hold his hand out
So he could help the pitied
But for they were to scare

Stay strong and they’ll be free
That is the only way they see
This rubble will be lifted

 Stay close to their safety bubble
Let someone help

They took his hand
And clambered out
“Stay in the cave.” He warned.
They leaped in and relaxed
Grateful of assistance

After, he helped so many people
It was about time he remembered Angela
He ran as fast as an owl chasing its prey
When he reached the Oliver and Collaboratuer University
It was already in shambles

He searched for Angela
People sent him away
But he never listened
His hair a strew
Would he ever find his precious Angela?

He heard screams of help
Finally, there was Angela
Dead bodies surrounded her and her mates
They were like dead baby cubs
All curled up

He pulled the debris off
piece by piece
stone by stone
It was so filthy
And reeked off dead bodies

Stay strong and they’ll be free
That is the only way they see
This rubble will be lifted

 Stay close to their safety bubble
Let someone help

They took his hand and sniffed the air
Jumping with glee
“Father, look out!” Angela yelped.

But it was too late
For he didn’t care
His brain was focused on helping others
The stone pinned him to the ground

“He’s dead!” Josie whimpered.
Rain poured down
They prayed for their savior to get up
A river trickled by
Luck struck them like lightning
Paul struggled to get up
The girls rushed to a nearby cave

Water, was he sipped
Medicine, was to treat him
People say care and love kept his sprit going

Doctors came
But his left hand
Had to be amputated

Days later
Father and daughter
Returned home
Memories shared

Paul was different
He adopted some Haitian kids
Heart full of strength and care
The hand he lost
Didn’t matter at all
For the right hand showed the strength

The Haiti Earthquake
Ruined lives
Scarred people for life
Inspired people
Just like Paul

I’ve just realised how long it’s been since I’ve posted. I feel very sad. NOW. Updates ’bout me:

• dA looks like crap. Is anyone else getting this from time to time?

Oh yeah. Awesome Firefox theme :3

• I am being unfairly overloaded with maths (mostly stuff about decimals)
• I’ve been so busy… on dA. Oh and for those who don’t know, I have a NEW, BETTER dA account, here.
• Best of the best stuff *NEW*:

There’s another one. A comic, called TNT Adventures. I’ve only done Page 1, but I’ll continue soon:

TNT Adventures is about three teens and a robot who make a group called TNT (Totally Not Terrible) with only them and Steve the robot, and it’s set in America (so that I could make their school a middle school). But you’ll find out more in the next few pages of the comic.

I tried to use Paint or something to do the text, but it didn’t work out, so I wrote it traditionally. And you still can’t read it.

THE TEXT

Panel 1: Three extraordinary teens… | Violet Smith aged 14
Panel 2: Connor Walker aged 14
Panel 3: Lily Hopsher aged 14
Panel 4: They discovered that their school, Harper Middle, was no ordinary school and held secrets to find out and adventures to experience. | After finding secrets of their own…
Panel 5: They created… | TNT
Panel 6: What were these secrets? | LILY: FORCE FIELD! I feel awesome. | VIOLET: I feel EVIL (almost)! | CONNOR: I feel sick. | They had powers. Violet could store and blast energy, Connor could fly and Lily could create force fields.
Panel 7: It all started… | on a typical Friday at Harper Middle.
Panel 8: VIOLET: Connor! Help! | CONNOR: What is it?
Panel 9: LILY: WHADDDUP, my homeys? | VIOLET: *scream* | CONNOR: I see.
Panel 10: VIOLET: She’s gone insane!
Panel 11: CONNOR: We both knew it would happen.
Panel 12: LILY: Tacos…
Panel 13: MAN: …
Panel 14: VIOLET: …
Panel 15: CONNOR: … I feel like dancin’, dancin’!

Sorry for the inconvenience of you having to read through this. It’s just that A4 is too small.

Let’s finish off this post with.. a random picture of flying tacos:

And finally a TV ad from NRMA insurance:

GO BRONCOS!

Yesterday I struck extremely lucky with dragon cave. I got all new dragons, and all of them ones I wanted.

All those I found in the abandoned area of dragcave. I think one of them was for trade, but I clicked it before the other guy could press the enter button.

Since ‘tomorrow’ aka Friday night I cannot post, I havescheduled a post from my iPod so I can keep my postaday2011 promise.

Enjoy these random pictures.

My friend drew the dress. Cool or what?

I leik old fashioned dresses *_*

On an end note

~RCG on her iPod is off to look for a sunsong dragon!

I am panicking here. I love listening to the sound of rain, but not when it’s pounding at my roof, like daggers against the window glass. The wind whistling, demanding to be able to blow the bricks away. Te flashes of great light, until you can hear the drums of thunder, throbbig your ears.

Sorry. I’m in a poetic mood :/

Sometimes the sounds can be terrifying, but they offer a state of music.
Yet when in a state of panic:
The music can shatter your ears.

See, I live on the border of Nashville and Franklin. Franklin is extremely close to Brentwood–that’s where the tornado may be spinning. And Bellevue is basically a sub city, pretty much, located inside Nashville. That sub city is also where i live. Border of Bellevue and Franklin specifically. If that makes much sense. And the tornado may also be heading towards Bellevue.

40 minutes away.

Living in Tennessee, we get a lot of tornadoes. I used to not take them very seriously. After the floods in May, I started taking our weather pretty seriously. Because it can be pretty freaky…

Anyway. I find comfort in making blog posts.

Agh.

Ok, anyone want to know to reasons i havent posted> Well here they are:

• Homework
• clubs
• AND….House of anubis!!

I like freaking love it! If you hate it then…WHATS YOUR PROBLEM! LOL So im like in love with this character Fabian. He is hot and cute and like everything!
yah here he is:

Well im making a nickname list for ppl in my world culturesa class. G’bye and G’night!!!

Anyway, I love my 6th period. (: Why I love 6th period is also because Joe, Scout, Jonathon, Bailey, Dylan, Brandon, Katie (not that dang Katie H. But yeah, she’s in my 6th Science as well :/), Zach, and Ryan are all in my 6th period science as well. I also sit by one of my good friends, Paisley! They all keep me pretty entertained most are actually friends. Sure, 6th period is annoying as heck, but I’m easily annoyed.

I’ve developed a habit of writing things all over my arms in class. Sure, I used to draw little pictures of wizards and pirates, or snippets of reminders, but now I’ve gone all over my arms, writing poems, drawing Alex Pettyfer (cutest guy ever. AND HAS A BRITISH ACCENT :OOO), and even today I started a new fad. I drew stitches all over my fingers mostly because I was bored and I had finished my test. As Mrs. Pousson came over to collect it, she noticed my hand and said “That is just freaky!” Everyone crowded around and started drawing stitches as well and screaming about shark attacks.

This one kid from my homeroom said, “That makes you look goth.” I snapped back, “Your hair makes you look like Bieber.” I’m not sorry. -.-

Sigh. I guess the main reason I like 6th p. is the craziness.

Now, the next thing is all my stupid horoscopes. It keeps speaking about relationships and love. I’d love to believe it, but I know better.

Oh, one more thing. We had to bring in baby pictures as a guessing game thingy for GI, and I found a picture of an egg that was all purpley and blue, so it looked like a dragon egg or a roc egg, or etc. I placed it in an envelope, and handed it to my GI teacher. Now all that needs to happen is for her to catch me.

The reason I did that was because I’m the only Asian in my GI, and on Purple Team. It’d be kinda obvious the fat baby with small eyes and black hair would be me.

To end this post:

ALEX. FRICKIN. PETTYFER. <3

Hehe. If you don’t wanna see major cuteness, don’t watch the following video:

Now that you’ve met the somewhat preppy and girlishly dorky side of me…prepare to meet the promise breaking side of RCG as well. (I’ve planned to post a day for the rest of 2011. Well, I’ll try, anyway. o3o)
