Sewing

I love to sew! It is one of my favorite pastimes, to sit down and sew, whether it is hand stitching, or on a machine. One of my favorite hand-made items is a ruffle apron. I use it constantly, whether I'm cooking or crafting, it is used often.  Another one of my favorite things to do is to go to Giggle This Studios sewing classes. That is where I learned how to make my projects and how to better my sewing over the years. I wait the whole week just to there. I love to sew!

The Away Game

Our first away soccer game that we have this season, we lost all our A games but we have confidence. School went slow then fast and at last it was time to go to our game in Emporia, the bus ride was fun, got my homework done, playing on my phone with friends. We got to Emporia to play our game and the whistle blew, the game started with confidence we had good plays and good defense, they were just a good team to play though. The game was over with a lost but then B team played, they played good but I played the last five minutes in striker, I like it better than left wing because you have more fun and get more aggressive, you just get into it. After the game we went to Spangles to eat and mostly everyone got the five dollar classic american meal deal, I sat with my friends and we had so many laughs and good talks. After spangles we went home and I was tired to just fall asleep and take a nap, people kept woking me up and I finally got home and just went out.

My Favorite Kind of Candy

    My favorite kind of candy is a toss up between Butterfingers and Reeses. 

    

   I love Butterfingers because of the rich chocolate that melts in your mouth the crisp butter crunching under your teeth creating a crisp delicious candy bar. I can never resit a crunchy Butterfingers, I wish I could have one every day. Even writing this makes me want to have a million. 

    At the same time though I can never resit a creamy peanut-buttery chocolate Reeses, who won't want that. So it is definitely a toss up so for right now it is a tie. 

    Please comment down below what your favorite kind of candy is I would love to know.

James Patterson's I Funny Sieries

I have read the book I Funny by James Patterson, I loved it and wanted to read other books from him.  Now I am currently reading the second book to I Funny, I Even Funnier. It talks about Jamie Grimm, who  is a 7th-grade comedian, he cannot walk, he is in a wheelchair. His mother father and sister died in a car crash. Now he lives with his aunt, uncle, and cousins which are a terrible family to live with. Jamie always is picked on, yet he finds his was to take the sorrow from his past and turn it into humor. He currently won the funniest kid in New York title. Now, Jamie plans on taking it to the next level, the funniest kid in the world. He will have to go through some struggles, some plans, but comedy gives him that extra push. The I Funny series is a fantastic series,  I love the James Patterson books and will likely read more.

FTL

FTL(Faster Than Light) is another video game that I have. I have had FTL for a couple months. In FTL you are the captain of a spaceship in the Federation. Your goal is to defeat the Rebel flagship before it destroys the Federation base. As you play through the game you can unlock different ships with different weapons and abilities by completing different quests or by beating the game with certain ships. Your starting ship is called the Kestrel cruiser and has artemis missiles and a laser cannon. My favorite ship is the Stealth cruiser type B, which has a cloak and a Glaive beam which is the most powerful weapon in the game. I have enjoyed playing FTL and I hope you will too.

My Rabbit

My Rabbit


     About two years ago I bought a rabbit and named her Fluffers. She is really energetic, she once ran around the living room for five minutes straight! It is also a bad thing because when we have to put her back in her cage she runs around and goes behind the couch. I'm pretty sure that she has a bunch of sugar in her system that doesn't run out.
      Fluffers has black fur, sharp claws and teeth, and her hair is like a lions mane. On her back she has a lighter spot which you can barely see. Her ears are really sensitive, even if you barely touch them they will instantly move away.
      When you first see Fluffers she looks like she is very shy but you will soon learn that she is not shy at all and is sometimes scary. I know from previous attempts to pick her up (she bit my finger). And if you want to put her on your lap, make sure you have jeans on or a blanket, because she has some long nails (I have scratches on my legs to prove it).
      Although she is a little mean I still love her.

Ark Survival Evolve Crafting

Today I will be talking about crafting in this blog about ark survival evolve since last time I talked about taming. Enjoy!

So you just started on a server in ark. You need resources before you get killed by a dinosaur. First resources you need is thatch and fiber and hide and a lot of them since they're the pretty much the base material like wood in Minecraft. You need wood and fiber to create picks and thatch to make armor and fiber and hide for slingshots and thatch for axes.(Slingshots are really good for making things unconscious). Then you get to the more advanced stuff to craft, like tranquilizer arrows, bows (which costs hide and wood), narcotics, guns, snipers, armors, walls, tranquilizer darts, and so on. crystals are very useful for advanced crafting, so is iron. Iron you can craft guns like pistols and snipers and mounted machine guns (I will talk about that in a later blog), and armor. crystals are used for more advanced armor and special saddles. True I do not know all crafting recipes but I do know the beginner ones and some advanced ones, but that is all I will give you and see you in the next blog.

How to Burn Your Brine Shrimp

          Long long ago... jk lol.

Fifteen minutes ago, I was sitting in science, and we were doing a project where we studied brine shrimp. However, someone else in our group had different intentions. Murder! Me and my partner were studying our brine shrimp. We finally got it into focus. It was so cute! It looked like it was trying to do the reciprocal dance... but was failing miserably. 

       Earlier our teacher had told us that when using the old microscope you might accidentally burn your brine shrimp... "accidentally." Luckily me and my partner were using a new microscope so the chances of us burning or brine shrimp were very thin. However the other two members of our group were male and were using and old microscope.

       Do I even need to say what the chances of them burning their brine shrimp were? 100%. At first I was able to help keep the other teams brine shrimp alive by adding more water. However, you can't avoid the unavoidable.
       Me and my partner were answering questions on the things we observed, when all of a sudden shouting came from the other side of the table. "It's burning!" One of the partners shouted as they looked through their microscope. I couldn't believe it so I looked through to microscope myself. And sure enough the brine shrimp was one crispy critter. The little flipper arm things had melted into it and it was barely moving. It had also turned a nice brown color. If we had eaten it, it probably would have tasted like fried shrimp.
      My partner and I couldn't believe they would brutally murder their brine shrimp like that. I even asked one of the partners to have mercy. The partner unplugged the microscope... but it was the wrong one. (face palm) The partner quickly plugged ours back in and unplugged his own.
     However, out of curiosity I ended up plugging theirs back in. I know I know I'm a murderer! In the end they killed their brine shrimp. But he still lives on to haunt them forever!
Lol jk.

Dags(Dogs)

There are different types of dogs, not breeds but types. There are fat dogs, lazy dogs, active dogs, bad dogs, loyal dogs, helping dogs, and crazy dogs. Each one has different personalities which means good or bad dogs, I have a dog thats lazy, fat, not very smart, and annoying, as hard as it sounds I love her. Pugs and Beagles are lazy when German Shepherds and Labs are active, most breeds are active and loyal but not all. I love dogs and other animals but mostly dogs, my very good friend is my own dog Sookie the Puggle(Beagle+Pug). No matter what all dogs are great but there will be some edges, so always think if you were the dog and how you would want to be treated, thank you.

Game Day

         So, the other day our team had a game against Hillsboro. We left at 3:45 to go there because it was an away game. First, when we got to the stadium are coach told us to go to the locker room to get ready for the game. On the first drive of the game we got an interception. The rest of the game went like that and at half time we were in the locker room with the score of 33-0, we were winning. Then our coach came into the locker room and told us we had won because of the lightning that wouldn't leave so we had to end the game. 
         On the bus ride home from Hillsboro, it was very quiet, except for the lightning and thunder. When we got home to Hesston, it was poring down rain. So, we walked though the high school to get to the parking lot so i could get to my car and go home.

Cinder

Cinder is the book I am reading now it is about a young cyborg girl the age of sixteen. Her name is Cinder she became a cyborg at the age of 11 or so the records told her she has no memory of the accident that killed her parents or anything before that.
About five years age a man adopted a 11 year old cyborg girl on a trip where he toured Europe his wife however wanted nothing to do with this child. While on his journey he got the blue plague which has no cure, it is a sickness that start off a blue speckles all over the body later killing them. So the wife is now left as the legal guardian of a child she wants nothing to do with and was left a widow with three girls. Cinder legal sisters names are Pearl and Peony, Pearl is the oldest at age seventeen and Peony is three years younger. Peony is Cinder's only friend that is not an android. Cinder is the only source of money the family, she is a mechanic at the market.
 One day Cinder is forced by Adri (her guardian) to go to the dump to look for parts and Peony snuck out with her while at the junkyard Peony had the first signs of the blue plague androids arrived and took her away to quarantine where patients are sent to die. She rushes home fearing having to tell Adri what has happened. When she gets home Adri already knows she is furious and she blames it all on her saying the she was the one that brought her in contact with the plague. She say that she is sending her to help find a cure for the plague. (They started a research group trying to find a cure. They inject cyborg with the plague and try to see if the antidote works {not one has lived}.) She puts up a fight but is finally taken to the lab. You will have to read the book to see what happens next.

Uh-Oh!!

Hi everybody!!! Welcome to my first blog ever! Today I'm going to talk about the time I broke my arm.

So it all started when I was I think 6, and me and my brother where homeschooled at the time and we went to a homeschooling program.

So one day, we got invited to go to Skateland in Web City Missouri for a fun party with my homeschooling group.

So you know like girls do we go of and talk about our crushes and we go skating. and while where doing that (and I wasn't the best at skating at the time but know its like bring it on!) i got caught of guard and I fell on my hands and I felt so hurt so my BFF went to get my parents.

I thought this was the worst day of my life!

So after my parents came to get me we went to the doctor and he said,

"I don't know if she broke her arm or not but it feels that way. Lets take her in for an X-Ray."

So after the X-Ray we got the bad news, I had broken my arm and that is why my Blog is called Uh-Oh!

But thanks for reading my first Blog ever!!

Bye!

JB.

The Dog Blog

        Hi, I'm Ryan. I'm making a blog about dogs. I'm making a blog about dogs because, my grandma raises Miniature Australian shepherds, and sells them. With that I know a lot about dogs and I can give tips about them on varies things.
        Have you been trying to get your dog(s) to stop barking when strangers come to your door step? If so, you shouldn't raise your voice or yell. Why you ask? Well, when you do this, for most dogs, it's as though your "barking" with them. The best manner to approach with would be to try a spray bottle. If your dog barks at a stranger you say "no" or "bad" or "stop". If he stops, praise him/her. If your dog doesn't stop, you spray it, then repeat the command. Repeat until he/her stops barking.
        That is the tip for today. I'm going to make another post soon, so stay tuned to The dog Blog. Also if you have any questions or things you want to know about dogs, leave a comment and i'll try to answer it in future as soon as I can.

Ark Survival Evolve

Ark survival evolve is a fun fiction game where you are stranded on a island called Ark with a strange artifact implanted in your avatar's arm. You need to survive on Ark by building a shelter and craft weapons and tame dinosaurs. Here are a few tips on how to be really good at Ark Survival Evolve.

First you need to tame a  dinosaur to defend you (preferably a easy to tame dinosaur like dilophosaurus or dodo). The diet depends on the dinosaur like the famous t rex eats meat so you tame it with meat. A pteranodon eats meat/berries. Stegosaurus eat berries and leaves. The MOST important thing you need for taming is narco berries or craft narco berries into narcotics, this makes the dinosaur sleep longer so you have more time taming it. There are special creatures (Note: I did not say all creatures are dinosaurs) like the rock golem that eats sulfur and rocks.

Ark is a good game. This blog I covered just taming dinosaurs and tips for them I will explain everything in future blogs so I hope you like my blog.

Tubing

Tubing is a pretty hardcore sport, as soon as you start going you start regretting getting on. One time at the lake we went double tubing  and it did't work out so good I have rope burns all over including the bottom of my eye. We started going and the ropes were the same length they kept going over me they kept landing on me but other than that it was pretty fun and it looked cool. Also I was by myself so I could jump around and jump over waves. Then another tubing experience Me,Max,Jace,Cason, and Kaleb were tubing and we were doing donuts and Tami and my mom were riding on the jet ski and they fell off super hard before we started going my mom said to all of us that "we are going to kick your butt" so now we are making fun of them ever since. So that was one week at the lake there are many more to come!

Lake Time

Over the summer, I spent a lot of time at the lake, including wake boarding, knee boarding, water skiing and tubing. My two favorite were knee boarding and wake boarding, I loved to do those things, I'm better at knee boarding than wake boarding though, I love going outside the wake and going back in and jumping while kneeboarding.  I like wake boarding also, I am not good enough to go outside the wake yet, but wake boarding is very fun even without experience. Crashing on the knee board and wake board is not too fun, while wake boarding I face planted into the water going pretty fast. I also crashed on the knee board a few times, one time I  jumped on the wake, but I didn't land it so the knee board slid out from under me and it hit my knee, I still have the mark that the kneeboard made. Even when I face plant and hit my knee lake time is fun, it was definitely the highlight of my summer.

My Brine Shrimp Experience

      A long time ago... jk ;)
Like 20 minutes, I was in science class and we were doing a project about brine shrimp. So, my partner and I were getting everything ready to put the brine shrimp on the glass slide to look under the microscope. I got everything ready and I'm looking at the little weird and ugly brine shrimp under the microscope, so I look over to see what my partner is doing and my partner accidentally knocked over the vial of brine shrimp. It wasn't that bad was still like 10 brine shrimp. 
     
     So we cleaned it all up and we went back to working. We saw the brine shrimp and MAN that thing was still ugly! It had like one little black eye and its arm were going like 75 miles per hour. I drew how it looked like and answered some questions and we were finished.

      So all in all it was a weird and fun day.
  

The Actors on Supernatural

      The actors on the show Supernatural are very good at their job, they look so serious when watching the show, but in real life and on the gag reel you see their real personalities. Supernatural is such a serious show that you expect it to have no gag reels and very serious actors. But at the least, each gag reel for each season is at least 30min long.

     The first actor that I am going to talk about is Misha Collins who plays the angel Castiel is twitter obsessed and is one of the main people who cause out takes, and his nickname is wings. Jensen Ackles plays the older brother Dean Winchester who looks intimidating but in real life he is a goofball with the nickname squirrel. Jared Padelecki plays the role of Sam Winchester who is always on his computer, in real life he is happy and he has started a few groups that help people everywhere, and he has earned the nickname moose due to him being very tall.

     I also want to mention that the show has caused two marriages to happen because the actors hooked up after shooting the episode. The show may seem very serious for the actors but don't let that fool you.

The Wish

    I am currently reading "The Wish" by Gail Carson Levine. "The Wish" is about a girl in 8th grade, who's one wish is to be popular. Her wish comes true when she gives up her seat on the subway to an old lady. The old lady tells her for her kindness she can have one wish, so of course she wishes to be popular at her school Claverford. When she gets to school everyone crowds around her asking her questions. For the first time she has friends and she feels happy, until she realizes that she wished to be popular at Claverford and she is going to graduate in three weeks, and she will be going to a different school and everything will go back to normal. She won't be popular, she won't have friends, and she won't be happy. So she decides that in her short amount of being popular she is going to figure out how to be come popular on her own. Will she figure it out or will she be unpopular forever?

Why Books Are Almost Always Better Than The Movie

Hi guys, today I'm going to blog about why books are almost always so much better than their movie. The first example is going to be about the series Percy Jackson. If any of you have read the Percy Jackson series and watched the movies, you'll understand why I'm blogging about this. If you haven't,well, here's why. In the books, Annabeth Chase is described with blond hair, but in the movies she has brunette hair. In second book, Luke was only on the ship and he wasn't looking for the Golden Fleece, also Kronos wasn't alive yet. In the second movie, Luke was looking for the Golden Fleece and Kronos was alive.
   Another example is the series Harry Potter. The Harry Potter movies followed the books, they just left out details.
  One exception is Lord of Rings, I tried to read the first book and got bored. So I like the movies so much better. 
   I hope you liked my blog. Do you like the movies or the books better? Please comment.

The Curious Expedition

  The Curious Expedition is a video game that I got not that long ago. In The Curious Expedition you play as a famous person (like Marie Curie, Charles Darwin, or Nikola Tesla) who is trying to become the most famous explorer ever. To do this you go on expeditions around the world. So far I have played as Charles Darwin and Sir Richard Francis Burton. When I played as Charles Darwin I got a velociraptor and a giant turtle. The Curious Expedition is a fun game, if you get it I hope you enjoy it.

Taco Bell

So, me and my good friend Sarah, went to Taco Bell. You know how they have the spinning game? The point is to get your coins on to the yellow slit, and for a nickel, you get cinnamon sticks, dime, taco, and quarter you get a burrito supreme. So we wasted about 5 dollars on this game. So we came back for our last try, and two employees were waiting for us. "Put it in," said the guy. Sarah didn't. I realized what he was doing, so I nudged Sarah and she put it in. So long story short, he won for us, and we got cinnamon sticks.

Finding Dory

Today our class is writing our first blog!:) well my first blog is going to be about a movie called Finding Dory. It is the sequel to  Finding Nemo. It has Ellen DeGeneres, Ty Berrell, Ed O' Neil, and some many more actor and actresses. Well now I will tell you about the movie. So it's about this fish named Dory and she has short term memory loss and she joined this family with Nemo and Marlin. So  she bumped her head and then she remembered what her family looked like. She get different flashbacks every once in a while. So she goes on a quest to go find her parents but she gets taken by these water life rescuse people. Then she gets to the water life rescuse place and she finds out that her parents are there by a flashback. Well she meets this octopus named Hank and he helps Dory get around the water life rescue place. She also gets haelp from her other friend that were there when she was.Meanwhile Marlin and Nemo are trying to find Dory. So they find out she is at the water life rescue place and they ho there. While they are doing that Dory finds out that her parents aren't there (her parents are dead). So she finds Marlin and Nemo and they get released back into th  ocean. But her friends want to come with her to. So they escape out of there exibit which is right by the ocean. So Dory ends up finding her parents which were in the ocean and not dead. So now all of Dory's family and friends live together again. I really hope you go and watch it because it was an awsome movie for ages 8-80!!

Harley

Hey guys I am writing about my dog Harley the updated version.

So my dog late last night had 6 seizures in 2 hours. And in one of the seizures she was running back and fourth between my dads room and the kitchen. And she kept hitting her chin on this wooden thing. And she threw up all over his bed. And my dad was trying to calm her down and she bit him which she has never bitten anyone so it was pretty scary.

So after she calmed down my dad took her out side to go to the bathroom. And she ran away.

My dad called the cops and reported a missing boxer. The cops got a call of a boxer and the person who hit Harley with a car. But she didn't suffer at all. We are going to get her cremated.

Our first blog!

                      Today our class is posting our very first blog!

To prepare for our first online blog we had to write down on a piece of paper what we wanted to blog about. Then we learned about blogger educate and what to say and not say. Next we wrote our blog on a piece of paper, then when we were done with that we made a border on the paper to make it look pretty. After that we learned how to comment on blogs and start conversations. Finally we took our computers and started to write our very first blog!
