Pain makes me laugh. Not only my pain, but my friends as well. I really don't know why I laugh at my friends pain, but I always make sure they are OK before and after i have had my laugh.
I laugh at my pain because that is how I cope with it. When I fractured my pinkie in middle school, I laughed so hard i cried. I didn't cry because my pinkie hurt, I cried because I laughed so hard, my stomach hurt. Actually just the other day my sister smacked me in the face a one pound bag of pepperoni and I was rolling on the floor. I didn't even realize that my nose was bleeding were my glasses had cut it. My nose didn't hurt, my stomach did because couldn't breathe. It stayed taut and wouldn't relax.
I make jokes about my pain, especially to the person who caused it. My pain is rarely serious, its because me or my sister were doing something stupid. Most of the time it is an accident. I have a lot of funny stories about me and my family falling, smashing into doors, and hitting each other on accident. It is funny, whether we get hurt or not because I laugh either way.

as a freshman it seemed to drag on and on forever. now its flying by and wish it would slow down. i usually goofed off the first couple of years and had the i don't care attitude. come to realize it is not a very good attitude to have because in school everything counts. i paid for my mistakes, i had to stay after school for credit recovery so i could get all my credits for geometry and the next year i also had to retake chemistry for half a year and i am passing with 106. i didn't think i was capable of doing that. but guess what i did because i changed my attitude, payed more attention to the teacher and studied hard. it was not easy let me tell ya. it was a lot of hard work and late nights, but it paid off. that one little change in determination kept me from failing and i will be happily graduating this year!!!
to look back and think that i could have very easily failed to graduate is a big eye opener. I love school but not enough to come back. But i do owe a huge Thank You!!!! to all of my teachers for putting up with me and helping me change my grades around and giving me along with a million other students support. Believer or not they are here to help, not just hand out DM's and tell you what to do. they are here to help you learn and prepare you for college and life outside of school. without an education it is very difficult to go far. more or less get a decent job. school matters and can ultimately decide were you start in reality. you can decide whether school can be fun or it can be a royal pain, you decide. GOOD LUCK UNDERCLASSMAN!!! i really do mean that.

Rain to me is peace. When it rains or storms it feels like i have all the time i need to get everything done and relax at the same time. Life slows down so you can sit back and think about your life, how far you've come, the lessons you've learned in between, the good times and bad, also whats to come. It gives you the opportunity to give time to yourself to get yourself back on track if you need to, think about the situations you are in and how to fix it to the best of your ability. To fully evaluate yourself and think about what needs to be done and what you can do without. For most people it makes them want to fall asleep because it is so peaceful or gloomy as people like to call it. yea the sky may seem miserable and gray, but look at it in a different angle. be still and listen to each drop that hits the ground and the waves of thunder that rumble in the back ground. its beautiful. if your lucky enough and not too busy scurrying around to get things done you might have a chance to see the rainbow through it all. always try to look at the bright side, past the gray sky and the black clouds makes everything less miserable and all the big things aren't so big any more. rain whats it to you?

i was afraid of freddy courger when i was little inturn making me parnoid in the dark.
i would get the intense feeling that someone was following me. Anytime i would be in the dark i would be sure to have another friend with me or something i can defend my self with, such as a bat. i couldn't walk down stairs without a flashlight in one hand and something to swing in the other. when it came time to go to bed, my arms, legs, hands and all would be covered. If i let it hang off the bed i believe that freddy would grab me. now that i look back i laugh everytime, thinking someone could actually come through walls and floors.so far i have not had anymore nightmares, but have had some crazy dreams.
and i love to watch scary movies as long as you cant tell they are fake and the plot of the story is good. other than that it is also fun to scare the person your sitting by when you think a good scary part is coming up. your nudge them and they scream like crazy, then they get mad at you and start nudging you back. ahh good times.
