The Sinister Scribe

Write about fireworks. Describe them in vivid color and sound words. Make me see and hear them. Help me taste the air they explode in. Remember to describe the setting around them (do they reflect over water? are they on your front drive? are these the big kind over an amusement park?). — from BraveWriter Blog

i was at my friend’s parent’s friend’s house, which was in the suburbs, you could still hear the cars driving past us on the crowded freeway from where they were. when we were first parking on the side, we saw my friend throwing firecrackers that belched colored smoke depending on the firecracker that was lit, and if you lit all of the ones of the same pack, they tuned the smoke a nasty color of green. it was the best 4th of July yet, with all the fireworks that my friend’s family owned! they had sparklers that lit up the back of your corneas…..

How would you feel if a new child moved into your neighbourhood?

i’d feel happy to hopefully make a new friend. i’d go over and introduce myself and then ask him/her for his/her name, age, and what he/she likes.

What is something you are optimistic about?

i am optimistic about the new (Japanese,but soon to be American ) release of the new Pokemon Platinum(OMG), which has the god of death, Giratina (another OMG) as the title character(OMG)!

I’m hoping that the graphics, the placement of the legendaries, and the placement of other Pokemon from other games will be better by a billion fold. and that the wifi recepton will be better too

How do you feel when something scares you? What do you do when this happens?

usually, I feel a sudden lurch in my stomach, then, depending on the source, (wasps for example) I’d usually panic (a little), also depending on the direction of the source of fear, I’d try to get away from the source. I’m most afraid when the source is either close by, or coming at me.

• we had 2 sunflowers, the largest at the time was eaten by our cat; the other started growing shortly after that
• all of the tomatoes except for the orange tomatoes grew
• the basil is doing great, our fear is that deer might come and attack the plants
• the stalk is doing fine
• the catnip and the chamomile are doing great, if they grow, then we will hopefully have some chamomile-catnip tea soon! (but 2 of the catnip did not make it.)
• one of the sages grew, but the other one did not
• the strawberry popcorn did not make it
• one of the majoram did not make it, the other grew
• only two of the deer-tongue lettuce survived, although they are pretty leggy
• the lemon balm didn’t make it
• the cucumbers did not make it either
• the cowslip: ditto
• purslane: not in the least
• only one sage grew

sadly, bout’ over 50% of the plants sewn didn’t make it

What would you do if you found a magic wand?

I would hopefully find, like, one of those Harry Potter wands; not one of the black-and-white ones.

First, I’d grant myself with the power of telekinetic flight, then I’d grant me the powers of telekinesis, transformation of a Grey Wolf and a cougar, of disappearance and the ability to pass through solid objects.

What do you think someone your age can do to help reduce the amount of pollution in our environment?

lets see… i can turn off lights when there’s no use of them on, i can use more alternate means of transportation like riding buses and riding bikes and walking and stuff of the sort. ask the local owner of the closest park and chose a spot to clean up trash in the area, recycle as much as possible, compost food scraps and other perishable foodstuffs if possible.

The sunflower seedling is very fuzzy on its plumule (eventually develops into the shoot). The clary sage true leaves are even fuzzier. The deer tounge lettuce is getting leggy (not enough sun light). Need to repot or direct sew when garden plot is ready. Green tomato seedlings are taller.

The sweet pea seeds did not sprout. We dug them up and they were gooey.

What is your most indispensable possession and why?

my most indispensable possession………. hmm…………….. dunno…… my dog would be!

he can be as sweet as an ice cream or as disrupting as heck itself; he’s a good dog to snuggle with, especially in a chair, or on my bed……… haaaaaaaahhhh…….. hm? oh, sorry…… he has learned to do some tricks like roll over, sit, twitch (only when we have a treat that he’s literally begging to get)

the majoram plants have grown really well, their true leaves are starting to become noticeable; the large sunflower was attacked by the cat and sadly didn’t make it; the sage is sprouting with what we believe to be a misplaced deer tongue; the second sunflower is finally growing; and the rest of the deer tongue that are not withered or withering are bent over a lot ‘cause me and my sister were holding the jiffy-pots that they were in.
