Flour Babies

So I am a Senior and for our Senior health project....
we have to carry around a five pound bag of flour for a week.

What you have to do is buy a five pound bag of flour, and a Styrofoam head.
You can make the baby arms and legs out of panty-hoes or stockings. Then dress it in cheap baby clothes from Wal-mart or wrap it in a blanket.

I am using my sister's baby from two years ago (I only changed the name)
and when I say I am using my sister's baby...I mean flour and all.
So I hope there are no bugs living in my sister's baby!
My mom said that as long as I don't break her open, I should be fine.

This baby project is always so much fun. Seeing all the seniors walk around with their ugly creations (most are pretty hideous especially the boy's but the girl's usually put alotta work into their children, and therefore they are much cuter).

There have been cases of kids stealing other kid's babies and hiding them etc...

During lunch today, I got up to throw away my trash and when I got back my baby was gone.....and all that was left was her leather jacket (I got a biker leather jacket from build-a-bear and put it on my baby. She is known as "one bad ass baby" and on the back of the jacket, says 'Harley Davis") so I went searching all over the lunch room for her.
I asked all my friends and NO one knew where she went. It turns out that my friends who sit at my table, stuck her in a back pack (they had gotten up to go get lunch) so it was a good five minutes where I did not know where my child was.

And then when I found her, my one friend Sam the self proclaimed 'grandmother' (even though she is two years younger than me) stole her from me and started running away. I had to run across the lunch room to get her back. It was so funny.

Many teachers also love to teach their students a lesson. Our biology teachers like to steal people's babies and put them in the chemical vapor room when students get up to do labs. One teacher in particular brings in extra flour during the baby week, and after they steal the baby, he sprinkles flour on the desk, so the student thinks that someone ripped their child to shreds.

I went to soccer today and one freshman girl asked what would happen if she dropped it. (Now I think she is a little demented in the head, because come on aren't you old enough to realize that the duck tape four sack might break open, the Styrofoam head would crack.......) and I would fail, and we both would have to clean up the flour?

I especially feel bad for the babies on Friday....they just never seem to make it home. On Friday after school, all the kids who don't plan to make cookies with their flour like to throw it down the stairs, or dump it in the parking lot.

Having too much fun playing with her flour baby

Update

So my friend and I are (its a joke, don't worry)

are thinking of joining a 'hippie commune" instead of going to college........

wellllllll



Oh and my other friend and I, were greek goddesses for Halloween

She dressed up as aphrodite

and I went as Atalanta/Athena/ Olympian goddess.

Atalanta was one of the Olympian goddesses, she was a fast runner so.....

I wore my track medals and then carried around my track shoes all night.



Those were my plans for Halloween
Happy Thursday everybody!

Columbus Day Parade

Today I rode on a float in my town's Columbus Day Parade.

Even thought riding on the float was scary (because I was high up with only a pole to hang onto, and everytime the float stopped, I would fly forward) it was so much fun!

Seeing the smiling faces, waving at friendly people,

little girls exclaiming, "Look! Here come the princesses! Look the princesses. I like the the purple dress, I like the white and red dress....."

I definity am glad that I was able to experience the Columbus Day Parade from the float view,

I don't think that I ever had so much fun at a parade!

Miss Columbus

Pageants.....what do you think about them?
I? Well I personally am not a big fan.

Strutting around half naked on stage, being judged on your appearance...
and then your "inner self."

Well every year around Columbus day, the local Italian American Social Club of my town holds a Miss Columbus contest for girls 16+ and from Italian Decent.
There were no photos or modeling envolved, and we didn't have to do a talent.

All we had to do, was to submit an application about how many Italian Activities we do, and what we do for the community + an interview where they ask the same questions.

Even though I did not win, I was included in the Miss Columbus court.
Last Friday, the Italian American Social Club held a ball for the Grand Marshall of the Columbus Day Parade, us girls were all given crowns, a bunch of roses, and a marine to escort us into the dinner. I got to wear my prom dress again!

I had a great time! The girls were so nice, the food was delicious and the room was beautiful!
They also gave us trophies, earrings, and fifty dollars!

Tomorrow, I will ride on a float in the Columbus Day Parade.

All in all, pageants might not be all that bad. I loved the attention when strangers came up to me and told me how beautiful I looked. It can really boost one's confidence.

Now I kinda wish that I could be apart of other pageants......

Try something new today,

But I believe everything will be ok

I feel a writing spell coming on....

I am a Senior in High School
with no clue of what I am supposed to do

I have to wear red decals to prove I am inexpirenced

I have to apply to colleges very very soon

I have only taken the SATs once, and I hope that will do

I have not really found a college that fits all my criteria

I have never had a boyfriend

I should find a date for prom

My soccer team keeps losing

I did not win Miss Columbus

I did not win the Penny Wars at school

My sister is stressed

My parents are upset

Physics is driving me insane

I have not heard back from Girl Scouts to see if my proposal for my Gold Award is execpted

School wants me to do more

I am gaining friendships with my friends but losing it with others

I am confused

I keep dreaming of asking people for help, for begging people to help.

I keep dreaming of hiding and escaping from an unknown evil, it changes everytime. But I have to sneak through doors, and hallways, hide in bushes and run away to get away, to save myself.
I find a person, hoping they are nice, asking for help, begging for help

I cannot sleep on my face, it gives me acne
I cannot touch my face, it gives me acne
I cannot miss a acne treatment, it gives my acne

I wear makeup but it won't come off

I want to feel comfortable
I lack self-cofidence, but I don't know where it went

Some people put me down, they think I am just confused and do not know what I am talking about
but I listen, but I forget, but I pronounce things wrong

But I Believe everything will be ok

I will find someone who I trust and can talk to

I will love myself and my body like I used to

I will play soccer like there is no tomorrow

I will smile after loses because I am alive and healthy

There is a college out there for everyone

There are people out there for everyone

Stresses will be relieved

Everything will be ok

I will get used to school

I will find time for a lost friend

I will manage my time effectively

I will count the people important to me
and the people that I am important to

I will trust in what I am told

I will study, I will be bold

I will come up with logical explanations for the things that I disagree with

I am alive and I am well

and I believe that everything will be ok

I do not have to grow up in one day, there will be people to help me along the way

Some people will apose me, but that will be ok

because they are the challenges that make you stronger

and everything will be ok.
