Here is a song I really like called

“Gypsy” By Shakira.

Mom says:  OK, this if better.  When we talked in the car you weren’t sure what a gypsy was.  I’m still not sure what she means in the song.

Can you tell me?

It has words in it, but you said I could post it for fun.

Mom says:

Sorry girl-girl.  I did like the song, but I felt like the video was too sexually suggestive so I took it off.  Can you find a video with the song, but not those pictures?  Post the words to the song for me and let’s see what story it tells.  I think that’s called narrative writing.

Actually, I don’t like any songs that dont have nay words in it.

But, this is a song called “Replay” by IYAZ, it’s a remix on the piano, and it doesn’t have word in this version.

This is my favorite! 😀

Mom says:

What do you like with no words?  I’m told I use too many words…

The new corner.  Gold ceiling.  Gold floor.

The tall corner.  Gold ceiling.  Gold floor.

The girl’s colors.  Jeweled and bright, with “slickery” fabric.

Go to this website and try out the tools.

The Artist’s Toolkit.

My Mom showed me something called Window Movie Maker earlier, and I made my own video.

The video is made of pictures I took of my friend’s dogs.  And yes, walking dogs counts as physical activity !!!

Mom says:

Do an essay in a different way.  Write your answers to this post in a different color for the font.  Use complete sentences and pay attention to the spell checker prompts.  Let’s get a picture with it linked to a site.

Who ?

AVI is a book writer. He got the name AVI when he was younger, and his twin sister called him that. He said it just stuck, and its the only name he uses. I think many people like his books, and think he is important. If you go to his website,  http://www.avi-writer.com/blog/ you can find out some facts about him, and see all of his books.

What ?

AVI writes books for children, teenagers, and young adults. I have read at least two of his books, and thought they were very good.

When?

AVI made up his mind to start writing books when he was about seventeen years old.  So if he started writing books in 1954, and its now 2010, he has been writing books for 56 years.

Where ?

He was raised in Brooklyn, New York. He gets his ideas for his stories from his family.

Why ?

In one of his interviews AVI said the reason he became a writer is because ” Since writing was important to my family, friends, and school, it was important to me. I wanted to prove that I could write.” He said it took about two years before he got his first book published

According to what I have read, the most previously published book of his is Crispin The End of Time.

This screen shot is of the same game, only on the third level.

On this level, you have to get five jewels into the mining cart, and you have to be careful because the goats try to eat your jewels.

I was on http://www.mathmovesyou.com again, only this time playing a different math game.

This game is called “The Legend of Joule’s Jewels”

In this game, you have to find all of the parts of the key before the time runs out.

If you don’t beat the clock, your torch burns out and its game over for you.

While your playing you want to stay away from the spiders and mummys, or else you have to answer an education math question.

In this snap shot, I just answered a question, and the mummy was frozen, to give me time to get away.

Mom says:  What Math concepts are you working on here?  Did you look up how to do %s like I told you?

Mom says:

I think a bit of review is needed.  Spelling?  It looks nice, but it’s a little hard for me to quickly figure out what I’m seeing.

Mom says:

You read The Secret School by Avi.

You said it was good.  It looked good.  It also looked like a very different school from your school.

But…who is Avi?  That’s a very strange name.

Find one of your writing prompts and let’s do some online searching and see who goes by the name of Avi.

Over the course of my room being re-done, I am going to be posting pictures that I have taken.

These are pictures I think my mom took yesterday, The ones that are newer.

The wall after the fire.

The corner that had the fire, after they gutted my room

This is the wall where the fire happened now, I am going to

get a BIG window, it’s so awesome

The Corner where the fire happened now

My tallest corner after the fire

My tallest corner looking how its look right now

My light fixture after the fire

The new light I have now

Once again Mom, those songs are…….not my type, I guess they are ok.

I mean if you like love songs that is. 😛

Mom says:

Of course I like love songs.

Just don’t tell your dad.

I Like Dreaming…

So all of the songs I’m posting are by the School Gyrls. Just to let you know.

“Detention”

Some of the Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Only been fourteen days since I met him
I’ve been tryin’ thirteen days to forget him
But we’re stuck together like the up and the 7
Feels like something bit me and I think I like the venom
My friends all say he’s trouble
Put him on my myspace comments double, double, double, double
Why they tryna burst my bubble?
Don’t they know I just can’t leave him alone

[Chorus]
So tell me what I gotta do to get this boy’s attention
Now I’m in trouble from the text message I sent him
Only just one more thing that I forgot to mention
Where’d you meet him
I met him in detention
I-I-I met him (x3)
I met him in detention
I-I-I met him (x3)
I met him in detention

“Something Like A Party”

Lyrics:

La da da da da
La da da da da da da
Ooooh
It’s something like a party
La da da da da

When the speakers start to thump in
Everybody starts to jump in
Cause we all up in here
Our hands up in the air singin’
La da da da da da da

It’s all about me, myself, and I’m comin’ out ta
Where my people at
You in the front and in the back
Start the beat let me get a clap
Thats what I’m talkin’ bout

I’m gonna give you what you’ve been missing
And I know I’m the thing that you really need
I wanna know if you’re all ready for what I
Got in store if you know the words then say

When the speakers start to thump in
Everybody starts to jump in
Cause we all up in here
Our hands up in the air singin’
La da da da da da da
Oooh

Now eight enough of us comin’ out on the floor
Thats why I decided to give y’all what you want
Just a little more
People say they want some more
They’re sick, guess we’ll have a cure
Thats what its all about

And I know I’m the thing that you really need
I wanna know if you’re all ready for what I
Got in store if you know the words then say

Everybody starts to jump in
Cause we all up in here

So stop pretending

When the speaker starts to thump in
Everybody starts to jump in
Cause we all up in here
Our hands up in the air singin’
La da da da da da da
Ooooh

I did not say

“That’s Killing Time!!”

I say, “Your gonna stop time!”

I’ve had to correct you quite a few times.

Moms says:

You keep telling me I’m really old and forgetful.

I’m forgetful!!

And you don’t know how to spell you’re.

I’ve had to correct you quite a few times.

Mom says:

I was looking for the clock

But couldn’t find it

On my chair, it sat.

You were terribly funny

And made your own rhyme

When I tried to sit down,  you said,

“That’s really killing time !!!”

Mom says:

anti-boy to me.  But it’s fine.

I don’t think the Yuck was fair and if you’re going to yuck at me, then I don’t think I want to play.

But this was one of my favorites !!!

Um are those lyrics? My song is waaay better!!

“Just A Kiss”

by School Gyrls

“Boy your stepping in the danger zone

If you keep it up your gon be on your own

We got rules so you better check check yourself

Before you blow it all, so Help me now, Figure out

Why Your Really Here!!!!”

See, those are good lyrics…

My love must be a kind of blind love

I can’t see anyone but you

Are the stars out tonight?

I don’t know if it’s cloudy or bright

I only have eyes for you dear.

The moon may be high

I can’t see a thing in the sky

’cause I only have eyes for you.

I don’t know if we’re in a garden

Or on a crowded avenue

You are here, so am I

Maybe millions of people go by

But they all disappear from view

And I only have eyes for you

I was on the site mathmovesyou.com again, and I played a different math game today.

It was you have to move a group of clothes to the other spot, it’s a lot harder than it sounds.

The game is called “Acute Apparel”

I think it was last month that I planted some flowers, yes, it was last month.

Now I have taken pictures of the plants now….

Most of these are my Begonias

These I’m not sure what they are, I couldn’t read the tab, but you can see how much they’ve grown,

compared to, being seeds.These are my Zinias, they aren’t very big right now, but when they are fully grown, they will be beautiful.These plants, like the second photo I couldn’t read the tab, but look how much they’ve grown.

Once all of my plants are fully grown,

I might put a whole thing together showing what they looked like over time.

Only instead of making post over time, I make one big post.

I wasn’t sure if this plant was my moms or mine, so I took a picture anyway.I think I read the tab right, so I think this is one of my Begonias.

This to That

Once glowing in light

Is now a child of the dark

My window is charred.

Mom that guy is NOT cute, to me, he looks old.

VERY old, like in his thirties, haha I’m just kidding.

But seriously, he looks old.

How about we start with…..

Justin Bieber, Black Eyed Peas, Selena Gomez, and Demi Lavato?

What’s that mean?  That’s what my mom said about who I liked.

You still have to do the poem.  I will find the link for the poetry writing.  I knew I had too many links in my bookmarks.

Can we start with James Taylor?  How about Dan Folgerberg?  Emerson Lake and Palmer?  I know, Let’s start with Bobby Sherman.

Sigh.

Sigh.

Sigh.

No comments today from mom? Oh well….

Ya know what I think, I think we should do a new thing with this blog.

I think we should compare music from when you were young, and from now, when im young 🙂

I have plenty have songs to show.

This is the Math screen shot of the activity I did on http://www.mathmovesyou.com

In the activity I had to solve math problems in order to make my Jetsled.

Yesterday my Mom made me fill up my brothers fish tank.

Since the fish tank is upstairs, and the bathtub is downstairs, I had to run up and down the stairs, and let me tell you…..I was TIERED.

In order to fill up the fish tank, I had to run up and down the stairs more than 14 times!

Today she said I have to go up and down the stairs again, and since I said “no”, she said one of her REALLY bad threats…..

“I’ll pinch your’ but if you don’t go up those stairs.” I just laughed at her.

Mom says:

Is this how you spell things at school?

I thought cakes were tiered, not girls.

You may laugh at me, “but”

I see you got your behind up those stairs!

Mom says:

We can’t find your white notebook

Which tells you what to do

So, I will take its place today

And give instructions to you.

Go back and put things into Paragraphs

Which is routine essay etiquette

Look down farther to the next post

And give a poem to give different expression to it!

I signed you up for your online Math

With a password and username..

This should make it so you can play that fashion game!
