hamburger hot dog or veggie dog

I don't really understand the point of this blog, but My choice would have to be the veggie BURGER.. I had to switch it up. I am one of those people that actually prefer to be vegetarian. I'm not an animal rights person, since I'm such a pessimist(SP) I just dont think that one person not eating meat is going to make a difference. Sometimes I just hate eating meat. It makes me feel sort of sick and overall meat isn't good for you. Lean meat is but thats not always an option. I am just too lazy to actually become full on vegetarian since it can take quite a bit of work.

Waffles, french toast, or pancakes
I would have to go with pancakes. I absolutely love them. I really don't have a big problem with the other two though. I enjoy making waffles, but the thing with waffles is that they are not alwasy the easiest thing to make. French toast is only good when my mom makes it though. I am biased to my mothers cooking; shoot me for it!

good writing

I have been forced to read many books in my thirteen years of schooling. In that collection of books are some very good books and some books I could do without. Sometimes I will start reading a book and hate it, even if it is one I have picked out for myself. I don't stop reading though, because sometimes it takes a while for a book to open itself. I have found surprisingly good reading this whole year of school. I have read Lord of the Flies, Jane Eyre, and Brave New World. I didn't look forward to ANY of them, but I have to say they are on my top reading list now. Good reading can appear anywhere. The trick is to read the whole thing, becuase you might not realize until you finished the book that; Hey! that wasnt that bad!

parental gifts

Parents grant children many gifts. First of all they grant us the gift of life! We wouldn't even be here if it wasn't for them. They grant us the gift of teaching us to walk and talk. Without their guidance some kids might never learn to do that. They bring us to school on our first day and show us into a whole new world. Chances are they support you financially and mentally your high school career and prepare you for the next step in your life. Your parents help to draw the path you will take for the rest of your life by the things that they teach you every day. SOme parents are farmers and unknowingly set their kids in the direction of farming or possibly send them screaming away from it. My parents, my mother especially have established very many good qualities in me. SHe has taught me to be kind but not to let people walk all over me and to speak my mind. SHe says that quality developed on its own, as I may do it a little too often but if you knew my mother you would have to agree with me.

writing well and writing fun

There is a difference between writing well and writing to entertain. Anybody can write well. When I say well, I mean being able to put in a comma and make a sentence sound gramatically correct. With the right amount of assistance and the proper writing tools; and of course the needed time any person would be able to put out a couple of well put together sentences. To write entertaining, though, you have to really be a good writer. Good writers are able to take a topic that is otherwise boring, and make it into a topic that people are standing in line to get a chance to read. Good writers are able to make eating snow cones in a blizzard before the snow cones melt an exciting read.

words that calmed a bad situation

There are so many bad situations. There are so many words that light a fire under an angry, sad, or just frustrated person but only few that put it out. I have to say that the most effective way to calm an angry person is just by saying "I'm sorry". This can depend on the situation and of course the tone you use, but in general it can mean the world. In the case of a death these words don't make sense to me. When somebody close to me has died and somebody says "Hey I'm sorry" I just think to myself "What are you sorry for? Did you kill them?" I think a simple "I'm here for you" works in the case of a death. It says everything in just one simple line without overdoing your sympathy. There is never a word that will calm a situation completely, and they all have different circumstances, but I think with the advice I have given you are now ready to go out there and stay out of some fights!

most known for

I would like to be most known for my accomplishments in life. Stars are most known for the way they act (or don't act), by the way they look, or by the crazy things they do. They are more known for their personal life, which is great...for them. Presidents are known for the way they handle tough political situations. They are known by what they do for the future, which is also great...for them. I would like to be known for what I leave behind. I would like to be known for and by the people that I leave behind; the people that I save. I would like to be the person that may not be known by everybody; but the people that know me, respect me. I can't say I'm going to be the person to cure cancer or come up with the next great way to perform open heart surgery (like it isn't good enough), but I'm going to try my damndest.

when do i feel most confident

I feel most confident when I am with people that I love, and people that love me. Nothing is more of a confidence booster than to be around people that love you completely for who you are. To them it doesn't matter what my hair looks like at the moment or what I'm wearing. I hate being put in a situation when people are sitting across from you judging you on every aspect of your life, even if it's something your completely unaware of. The people that love you most don't judge you because they know you well enough to already know, accept, and love the flaws that make you, you. I also feel confident when I am dealing with something that has anything to do with the medical profession. I feel good when I am learning about it, and helping to be a part of it. Confidence is something that can be found in many unsuspecting places and something to be kept close, because if something or somebody can make you feel that way it is something to be kept.
