J.K. Rowling

J.K. Rowling is my all-time favorite author. She made my childhood wonderful through her excellently written series: Harry Potter. This series is about a boy with magical powers who has to protect not only the magical world but the muggle(non-magic-folk) world as well. Harry is protecting the world for an evil wizard named Voldemort. Voldemort is a mass murderer searching for world control. J.K. Rowling came up with this incredible idea on a train.
J.K. Rowling brings the phrase "rags to riches" to a whole new meaning. She was in poverty for a great portion of her life before she wrote the books. Now she is the first U.S. billionaire author, the second-richest female entertainer and the 1,062nd richest person in the world. She is my inspiration and I really love her story.

If you have read the Harry Potter series then you know of the drink that many of the characters love to drink: Butterbeer. :)

Butterbeer Recipe

5 tablespoons butter

1 cup dark brown sugar

½ cup heavy cream

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar

½ cup heavy cream

½ teaspoon rum extract

6 12-ounce bottles cream soda (made with real cane sugar), extremely cold

Halloween Story

This story I came across while surfing the internet and I though it was worth sharing. Have a very scary Halloween!


Axe Murder Hollow

A Pennsylvania Ghost Story

retold by S.E. Schlosser

Susan and Ned were driving through a wooded empty section of highway. Lightning flashed, thunder roared, the sky went dark in the torrential downpour.
“We’d better stop,” said Susan.
Ned nodded his head in agreement. He stepped on the brake, and suddenly the car started to slide on the slick pavement. They plunged off the road and slid to a halt at the bottom of an incline.
Pale and shaking, Ned quickly turned to check if Susan was all right. When she nodded, Ned relaxed and looked through the rain soaked windows.
“I’m going to see how bad it is,” he told Susan, and when out into the storm. She saw his blurry figure in the headlight, walking around the front of the car. A moment later, he jumped in beside her, soaking wet.
“The car’s not badly damaged, but we’re wheel-deep in mud,” he said. “I’m going to have to go for help.”
Susan swallowed nervously. There would be no quick rescue here. He told her to turn off the headlights and lock the doors until he returned.
Axe Murder Hollow. Although Ned hadn’t said the name aloud, they both knew what he had been thinking when he told her to lock the car. This was the place where a man had once taken an axe and hacked his wife to death in a jealous rage over an alleged affair. Supposedly, the axe-wielding spirit of the husband continued to haunt this section of the road.
Outside the car, Susan heard a shriek, a loud thump, and a strange gurgling noise. But she couldn’t see anything in the darkness.
Frightened, she shrank down into her seat. She sat in silence for a while, and then she noticed another sound. Bump. Bump. Bump. It was a soft sound, like something being blown by the wind.
Suddenly, the car was illuminated by a bright light. An official sounding voice told her to get out of the car. Ned must have found a police officer. Susan unlocked the door and stepped out of the car. As her eyes adjusted to the bright light, she saw it.
Hanging by his feet from the tree next to the car was the dead body of Ned. His bloody throat had been cut so deeply that he was nearly decapitated. The wind swung his corpse back and forth so that it thumped against the tree. Bump. Bump. Bump.
Susan screamed and ran toward the voice and the light. As she drew close, she realized the light was not coming from a flashlight. Standing there was the glowing figure of a man with a smile on his face and a large, solid, and definitely real axe in his hands. She backed away from the glowing figure until she bumped into the car.
“Playing around when my back was turned,” the ghost whispered, stroking the sharp blade of the axe with his fingers. “You’ve been very naughty.”
The last thing she saw was the glint of the axe blade in the eerie, incandescent light.

Really Bad Pick Up Lines

NEVER USE THESE!!!!!
  • You're so hot you melt the plastic in my underwear.
  • You make my software turn into hardware.
  • I know I don't look like much, but I'm drinking milk.
  • Hi, the voices in my head told me to come over and talk to you.
  • I'd marry your cat get to get in your family.
I hope this help you. Please before you say something out-loud; think it over.

My Math Class :)

My math class is amazing. I'm taking Honors Algebra 2 taught by Mrs. Kuch. Mrs. Kuch is awesome. She is a great teacher and today she let us order pizza! A few days ago we asked if she wanted some Ecstasy (not really Ecstasy, it's a candy) and Mrs. Kuch replied, "No thanks. I'm trying to quit." It was soooo funny. She is so awesome. I will include a picture of a basket of puppies so you know how great she is.

This Weekend :)

This weekend was awesome. There were a number of things that made this weekend pretty much amazing. Firth, the 49'ers won against the Lions. It was an incredible game. Then, we went to the Glenshire school and waited for Nick O. to come there. Then we ambushed him and shot him with air-soft guns.

IT WAS SO GREAT!!!!!!

Cool Eyes

Aren't eyes soooo cool. The more I think about eyes the more awesome they seem. They are orbs of jelly that allow humans to see things. Some are blue, green, brown, and hazel. Also, eyes are pretty like that one.
