Muh favorite animal is a wolf!


Wolves live in all different kinnah places and der is all different kinds of wolves too! They can live in the forest, woods, and even the super cold places like dah arctic wolf. Most people when they think of wolves think of dah kinds dat libs innah forest n woods though.

What is your most favorite time of the year?

I don't know if I have a favorite time of the year anymore. It used to be Christmas. I lived for Christmas! I played Christmas music year round, I started decorating before Thanksgiving and was often plotting decorating and what I needed and wanted to buy to decorate with long before Halloween. Some of my friends used to say I held the Christmas spirit within me, or, some something like that. I dunno. But, I didn't decorate this last year and I haven't had gifts in two years (not that Christmas is about the gifts of course) and after the heartache I had this last Christmas, I think my Christmas spirit is sort of gone. -_-


I guess if I had to pick a favorite time of year now it'd be something simple like, September, the start of the school year, since I hate summer and not being able to be in class and get so sad and lonely without school to come to. So I guess that's about all I can think of right now for a favorite time of year. *shrugs*

Ms.Tabbi's class journal (4/29/11)

If you could change something (or 3 things) about yourself, what would they be?

If I could change three things about myself the first would be to have a hard shell, where nothing got to me and upset me. I'm a very, very sensitive person and I wish so bad that I could just put up a wall around myself and not let things get me so worked up. But unfortunatly I guess that's part of who I am and part of what makes me me, but I certainly wish it wasn't part of me I'd rather just have a tough exterior that painful stuff just bounces right off of and never really gets let in at all.


Another thing that I would change about myself is to no longer have any fears. Life could and would be soooo different for me if I didn't have any fears at all. No more scared to go outside because of bugs for example would mean I could actually go outside and swim and play and have fun like a normal person rather than hiding and cowering inside. Or, if I didn't have fears of people then I would be able to work and go out and do things, go out to eat, all sorts of things that most people take totally for granted.


Lastly the other thing I'd like to change about myself is that I'd love to be able to just speak my mind and tell people what I was thinking and feeling, rather than just holding everything inside because I'm too afraid of things coming out wrong and loosing people or hurting people. My sister in law is that way, she doesn't hesitate to tell anyone what she thinks and feels and some people think she's a bad word I can't say because of it, but she's so totally not, she's just honest and up front and able to share what's on her mind without caring what others think. If they don't like it, then she really don't care. She says it's not good to be like her I'm better the way I am, but I'd so much rather be like her then always hurting 'cause I can't tell people how things are really making me feel.

Questions from Ms.Brooke's class (4/27/11)

1) What is the coolest thing you learned about your classmates? What made it cool?


The most interesting thing that I learned about my classmates is that Allison Ruby has 6 meeroos, 2 monkies, and 2 dogs. She also likes tah sleep with all of them in her beds! And sometimes she takes cheetoos and hides them up her nose! Cepts for Ms.Brooke said she should not do thats. She habs a sister named Peanut dats also in our class and she threw her down the stairs cauzes she went in her room! @_@;


2) What are your hopes for this class? What do you hope to learn about Egypt?


My hopes for this class are to not eber has any homework or tests or quizzes. And, to always has lots of recess and time to eat lots and lots of cookies in the lunch room. It's also super good if we get let out tah go home early and has lots of field trips to the cookie factory! I dun know if I really hope tah learn anything about Eygpt though. I guess if I gottah pick something I hope tah learn about though I would say I wanna learn anything long as it does not got to do wit how people was mummified cauzes thats freaky and gross and scary and I do not wanna learn about thats at alls! Yuckies!

Pizza creation (Ms.Tabbi's class 4/27/11)

If you could create any kind of pizza what would it be and why?


If I could create any kind of pizza that I wanted to, it would have to be a cookie pizza... cauzes... well... I dah cookie monster!  Dah bottom crust it would be a waaaarm ooey gooey chocolate chip and ontop instead of cheese would be a sugary crumbly yummie goodness with lots of broken up and mushed up bits of other cookies, like umm... Oreos! :D Then, on the side, you'd have a big giant scoop of vanilla ice cream! And.. instead of dunkin yur pizza in marinara sauce or ranch sauce or things like that, you could dip yur cookie pizza in the ice cream!  *licks her lips n drools a bit*

What would happen if you loved your neighbor as yourself? What if everyone did?

If you loved your neighbor as you love yourself to me means that you never expect things out of other people that you cannot or would not do yourself. It means to treat people how you would want to be treated and to remember that in order to have a good friendship, you have to be a good friend yourself. If you treat people kindly however then most people in return will also treat you kindly. But, I think the biggest key to loving others as you love yourself is to also not expect anything in return. If you take a cup of sugar over to your neighbor to help them out, don't expect a cup of sugar back from them. Instead, just help them out because it's the right thing to do. If more people behaved like that then everyone would not only get along better but the world would be such a kinder and easier place to live in.

What is something you dislike about yourself? How can you change it or change your perception so you like that part of yourself?

Something that I don't like about myself is how sensitive I am. Being sensitive and emotional can be okay sometimes, if not all of the time, I am overly sensitive. It's a hard thing to change because it's so built into just who I am but, one thing I try to do to change it is to try to step back and get away from things for a few minutes when I can tell I am starting to get too emotional.This way I can give myself a break and time to calm down before I allow myself before letting myself get more worked up than I need to be. I think overall though the key for me has been to try my best to just embrace it as who I am. It's hard for some people to handle me sometimes but those who really and truly love me never mind and they love me for who I am and they just see it as one part of what makes me unique and special.

What would happen if people never co-operated? Why do you think it is important to co-operate?

If people never co-operated the world would be totally different than it is now. People would be fighting each other all the time and never able to work together to accomplish anything. We'd never be able to live in houses any bigger than we could make ourselves. We'd have to do our own hunting and growing. It's sort of like with wolves. Lone wolves almost never survive, but in a pack they can protect each other and work together on a hunt and building a den. When one of the wolves is sick they can work together to take care of them and the entire wolf pack works together to help protect and teach and raise the young. Therefore it's important to co-operate because when you work together with one another you can accomplish a lot more and everyone benefits.

"When talking with other people, I show respect by . . ."

When talking with other people, I show respect by listening, being considerate, and encouraging. Part of showing respect to others when talking with them is to listen to them closely and not be distracted by something else. In addition a good listener will make sure that they wait their turn before speaking and try to make a deep connection with the topic of conversation as well as the other person so that they can obtain and understand the subject matter at hand. You can also show respect by making eye contact with the person you are speaking with as well as positioning your body towards them so that they know they have your full attention and focus on them. It's also important to encourage the person you are talking to, even if their ideas may seem a little silly or strange to you. It's all too easy to end up shooting down someone's hopes and dreams and making that person feel unimportant. Supporting them and genuinely encouraging them can be very liberating and empowering and is a great way to show them that you respect them and their ideas. Most of all however I believe that the key to showing someone respect is to show the person that you are talking to that they are valuable and that their opinions, thoughts, and beliefs are important and worth you giving them your time and undivided attention.

"I know ____ loves me because ...."

I know my Daddy loves me because even though he is not around on Second Life with us anymore really, he is still our adopted father in the real world. So many times our Dad could have turned and walked away from me and my sisters and no one would have blamed him at all, but never once has he turned his back on us. We've been through countless struggles and challenges together but in the end have always made it through them together. Even when he couldn't hardly go to his old job working at a club because my baby sister cried too much for him when he left her, he never abandoned us. I could give endless amounts of examples and situations where despite the fact that it made his life much more difficult, our father has choosen to stand by our side rather than to give up on us, even though in some ways his life might have been much easier and better off had he done so. However, our father has proven time and time again just how much he loves me and my sisters because he doesn't take the easy way out. He stands by us no matter how hard or difficult the times may be and that's why even without him in our second lives hardly ever anymore, we still stand by his side as well, and always will.
