Dark Alley on a Rainy Night

As I regained conscientiousness, I remember asking...where am I? All of a sudden all I saw were two bright headlights shining in my eyes and then a dumpster on my right. I was cold and couldn't seem to get warm. My hair was sopping wet. As the car pulled away I could no longer see. I could hardly remember what had happened; however, in the back of my head I could picture exactly what happened in a weird way. I looked around but found no one to blame for the happening. It was when I suddenly realized I was laying in a dark alley in this rainy night. I suddenly realized that I needed to get out of there. So I jumped up and ran to the nearest vestibule but it was locked. So I looked for my other option out, when someone came running around the corner. Me being how stubborn I am didn't run. I wanted to see what was going to happen even if I was in danger.

Geeks get the Chicks

Hi my name is Marley :)

Hi my name is Marley. Everyday I sit in my stable and watch everyone work. Its so boring. The only time I have fun is when they get me out of my pen and I get to run around and play with the other horses. So one day I got this idea. Why not just make everything a joke and make up a story about it. So I started thinking and looking around the farm and saw Joe who is a pig that lives in a pen across from me. I started thinking about how bad he stunk and how gross he really was. So I started making fun of him and laughing at him. This made Joe really upset and hurt his feelings and he wanted to get back at me. So he ran and got his digital camera from inside his pen ran out and snapped a picture of me while I was laughing at him. Then he posted that picture all around the farm and started making fun of me. After that day I changed my way of trying to have fun.

Letter to Me

I hope as I am reading this right now, thirteen years later, that all that I hoped for has come true. I am seventeen, five foot 8 inches tall, and weigh about 125 pounds. I am dating Shawn :P. We have been dating for 4 years going on 5 and I hope that as I am reading this right now so many years later that he is my husband. My dream is to be a cosmetologist and a tattoo artist. I know right now thinking about being on my own with out my mom seems hard, but I can do it and hopefully I will. It also seems really hard to graduate, leave all my friends, and move on. All I wonder is will I ever see half of my class mates again?

P.S. I hope all that I have ever wished, hoped and dreamed for has come true.

The "CAT"erbury Tales

Once upon a time there was a beautiful girl that had the most horrible parents. She lived locked in her room for the longest time. She would stare out the window wishing and dreaming how she could be out on her own. Across the street lived a boy. He was a very handsome boy that worked hard. Instantly she fell in love with him. He saw that she would watch him work everyday and decided that he would go and talk to her. After he talked to her he saw how she was hurting and how her parents treated her and he decided he would help her escape. He broke the window, raised it up, and helped her crawl down a rope that he hung from her window on the second floor to the ground. Once they reached the bottom they ran till they couldn't see the house any more. The beautiful girl and the boy across the street lived happily ever after.

Swine Flu

Influenza A H1N1 is a respiratory disease typically found in pigs that is caused by type A influenza viruses.The source of the Swine Flu is still unknown. No one has exactly figured out how it is spreading, but flu is normally spread through the air via droplets ejected from the mouth when an infected person talks, coughs or sneezes. These droplets can land on hands and surfaces. I am really hoping I don't get it. ;)

Poetry

My name is Faith
I am outgoing, loud, fun, lazy, crazy
I really like my car, my room, and tennis
I could never live without my mom, dad, 2 sisters, or Shawn:)
I could for sure live without drama and spiders
I have seen Never Back Down, Cinderella Story, and Red Eye
I fear dying and getting old
I like pride programs, pep rallies, football games, and tennis meets
I have been to New Orleans, Denver Colorado, and Houston
I would like to visit New York, Las Vegas, Paris, Australia, and Alaska
I like to have a nice house, a good job, a happy family, and not be alone
My last name Prince

Beowulf

The Wrath of Grendel
There was a very powerful monster that lived down in the darkness, growled in pain, and very impatient. Down the hall he could here the DJ playing all the different songs as the party went on. Grendel could hear the sound of the keys clicking on their phones as he knew they were texting and having a good time. This made him very angry that he never got invited to anything and had no friends. He was tired of this so he decided he would do something about it. He fought with the righteous,one against many, and won. Him himself took out 30 men alone.

The Coming of Beowulf
The next day it was all over the news and internet. People were watching glimpses of it on youtube. How Grendel filled that night with such horror. Beowulf was very strong and powerful. He decided to look up and call the strongest of his men. All together there was fourteen and they set out on revenge for Grendel. As they flew into Herot they could spot it from miles away, covered with hammered gold.

The Battle with Grendel
Grendel lived in the marsh, from the foot of mist, hoping to kill. He slipped quickly away from his swamp up to the shining golden halls, set out to kill. The sleeping soldiers were resting in those halls. All Grendel thought about was how good of a feast he would have that night. His first bite was good took no time and life was gone in a minute. He moved on to the next sleeper, but this one was different. It was a strong-hearted wakeful sleeper. As Beowulf began to fight back, Grendel at once knew that he had never met a man whose hands were harder. He wanted to run instantly. He fought against him for his freedom, not for his flesh. As Beowulf defeated the monster his arm, claw, shoulder and all.

The Battle with Grendel's Mother
If weapons came to no use then he would just use his hands. Why does fame come to the men that want that and nothing else? As his anger grew and grew he raised her and threw her to the ground by her shoulder. Then it turned, in an instant she had him on the ground to pay back her only son. Soon after they called up the fourteen Geats' brave as could be so they could arrive in Herot. After the defeat Beowulf used nothing as a trophy but Grendel's head. It was an awful but wonderful sight and warriors just stared.

The Last Battle
After the defeat Beowulf stood to say that, "I've never known fear, asa youth I fought in endless battles. I am old, now, but I will fight again, seek fame still, If the dragon hiding in this tower dares to face me." Then he said good bye gave them directions off of his GPS and turned around to say one more farewell. "I'd use no sword, no weapon, if this beast could be killed wthout it, crushed to death like Grendel, gripped in my hands and torn limb from limb. But his breath will be burning hot, poison will pour from his tongue. I feel no shame, with shield and sword and armor, against this monster: when he comes to me I mean to stand, not run from his shooting flames, stand till fate decides which of us wins. My hear is firm, my hands are calm: I need no hot words. Wait for me close by, my friends. We shall see, soon, who will survive this bloody battle, stand when the fighting is done." Then he turned and headed for the dragon. He stood in the doorway spotted by the dragon, ready for battle, settling for nothing less but slaughter. The monster came very quickly towards him. As the fire and poison pours from his mouth. The flames beat against his shield that held him protected for a moment. Then he shot the dragon with his gun. The monster drew lots of blood but didn't go deep enough. The dragon threw his hot breath at their king. Who was once an unbeatable king now a beaten warrior surrounded in flames. None of his geats came to his side they all ran for their cars. Only one stood remembering what kinship meant. His name was Wiglaf. He gave the king the courage to finish off the dragon and defeat him. Wiglaf ran to his side knowing that the king probably didn't have much time.


The Spoils
As Beowulf lie there not knowing how much longer he would last he told Wiglaf to drive to get the treasure. Wiglaf hurried to the treasure eager to recieve with their treasures. As Wiglaf returned Beowulf told him to take all his jewels and lead his people. He told the brave Geats to build him a tomb and bury him in a coffin made of jewels. And to name the tower after him so the future would remember him.

The Farewell
All of the soldiers got together and designed his tomb on the computer. They built it as he asked tall and big with lots of jewels. The day of the ceremony the Geats got on their horses and rode around the tower showing their sorrow and telling past stories of their loved leader. Cried that no better leader had ever lived.

The Future

When I do graduate from high school I want to go to a cosmetology institute for not only hair but also nails, facials, waxing, and tattooing; and yes I will be my own boss. :) After school I want to come back to live here in Childress, Texas. I don't want my house to be a mansion but I want a pretty big house and to be able to live well off with out many cares. I want some hard wood floors but some carpent floors to. I really like the look of like potery barn. That is how I want my house to look. I want to drive a Dodge Nitro. I am 100% sure that Shawn will be my future husband. I am pretty sure you know Shawn and have a good idea how he is so I don't think I have to do much explaining on him. :) I plan on having no more than three children that are about 3 years apart. On my weekends for free time I would like to just have alot of family time going and seeing lots of places. It has been tradition in my family since my grandmother was little to go to Colorado every summer. I plan on keeping that tradition going. I also plan on being a big part of the Methodist Church here in Childress. Hopefully my friends will be alot of my friends here from high school but it wouldn't hurt to meet some more. Don't get me wrong my mom has done an awesome job raising her children and was a great mom, but I will probably end up raising mine different because I am ALOT more up tight than her. :)

Who packed your parachute?

The six people that have "packed my parachute" would have to be my immediate family and Shawn. Even though my dad doesn't talk much and shows his emotions differently than most dads I know he cares and he would do anything in the world for me. My mom is probably the best mom anyone could ever have. She does anything and everything for me and is always there. My sister Falon is like my second mom. She makes sure I always have everything I need. My sister Faran is a little different than my oldest sister. She isn't so much a mom but more a friend. She is always there by my side whenever I need anything. Shawn is my best friend. Since my freshman year he has never left my side and has always been here for me. Today I want to dedicate this post to my mom because no matter where I go I know she will always be with me and on my side.

Expectations of my Senior Year

Ever since I was little I had this expectation of being a Senior and feeling totally different. The Seniors when we were young felt so much older and acted like they had everything figured out. I am starting to feel lost and I am getting kind of scared. Hopefully by the end of the year I will be ready to leave and be on my own. My expectations of my self and being a Senior will become bigger and I will expect greater things from myself.
