Inside the Alley: Part 2

When I walked in, I didn't see anything. There wasn't any furniture at all, and the mahogany floor was slightly faded. The house was really big on the inside with tall ceilings and lots of space, much bigger than it appeared on the inside. The strange thing was that even though it looked like nobody was living there or had been inside for a long time, it wasn't dusty or dirty. I started walking up the long, twisted staircase to the second floor. I turned the corner and I thought I heard a noise, like someone would make if they were startled. I tried to ignore it, thinking it was just all inside my head. I was peeking into corners, glancing at the full bathroom, master bedroom, and other such rooms. I got to another door, which I started to open.
All of a sudden, something popped out. At first, I couldn't distinguish what I was but then I knew. It was a pair or eyes, a blazing purple shade. It looked like a woman's eyes by the neatly trimmed eyebrows and curled eyelashes. It shocked me and I started backing up. The eyes were glaring at me, as if to say "What are you doing here? This is not yours, go away!" Soon another pair of eyes followed, a rusty orange. They looked like a man's eyes. I started backing up even more quickly now, getting really scared. As if the orange and purple eyes didn't scare me enough, a new pair of the floating eyes appeared. These were a fiery red, and extremely angry. I couldn't tell if they were a man or woman's, but now that was the least of my problems. I turned around and started running, scared for my life. I didn't care if they were going to hurt me, but that place just creeped me out! The eyes started following me, like they were running after me. I ran for about five minutes, until I came out of the alley. That didn't stop me from running though, and I didn't take time to look back if they eyes were following me. I ran and ran all the way to my house, and I didn't stop until I got to my room. When I got to the door of my room and opened it, I saw three pairs of eyes, a red pair, a purple pair, and an orange pair, all staring at me.

Inside the Alley: Part 1

Nobody ever goes there. Those who did were never seen again. It was dark and humid, and when you walked by it smelled like an elevator of a Metro station. I had always wanted to go inside, but I never had the guts. One day it was early release and I was heading home from school. I had nothing to do so I gathered up the courage I had and went in. It looked really dusty and worn down, with a few abandoned houses. Everything in sight was some shade of grey, but there were a few fences and patches of grass which had some brown. The shudders of the windows on the houses were crooked and falling off, creaking at a gust of wind blowing by. Since nothing had really creeped my out, just gave the the stomach butterflies, I decided to explore further.
I was walking for about 10 more minutes. I was thinking of turning back, but there was something that stopped me in my tracks. There was one house that looked the same, but there was something different about it. I thought I saw out of the corner of my eye something moving on the first floor, but when I looked for a little bit more, everything was still. It felt a little bit different, like there was some type of life inside, something unlike the rest of the houses I had seen. I started walking up the uneven cobblestone walkway and up the creaky stairs.The wind started to pick up and it seemed like it was saying something along the lines of "Are you sure? Are you sure?" I decided not to listen to the wind and keep going, I really wanted to figure out what was inside. I kept going. It was only when I got to the doorknob, about to turn it, when I realized how nervous I was. My hand started shaking and my teeth were chattering a bit. I started concentrating on breathing deeply and I closed my eyes. Once I had gathered my confidence again, I slowly turned the knob. I opened the door, not sure what was going to be inside.

Lipgloss

Very shiny. Some are sticky and are a pain, but the good kind glide smoothly on your lips. Some smell bad and taste bad, some smell good and taste bad, some smell good and taste good, and rarely, some smell bad and taste good. The liplicious brand has a lot of flavors and colors like fresh mulberry or black cherry. Most of them smell good and taste good. My favorite is the guava splash from Covergirl Wetslicks. It has a nice color and is virtually sticky-free. It also smells nice.

PassionFruit for Me!

Ah, ice cream flavors. I just love them! What's your favorite flavor? I feel bad for lactosentolorants and people who are allgergic to dairy. PassionFruit is my favorite flavor. It's tangy and sweet with a burst of citrus to tie the whole flavor together. Another one of my favorites is plain vanilla. Sweet, and I love the little black vanilla beans that get stuck on the roof of my mouth so I can taste them for a long time though. I really don't like chocolate ice cream or chocolate syrup, just hot fudge for a topping. I think that the artitificial chocolate doesn't taste like the original Hershey's. I can't put my finger (or tounge) on it, but it just isn't the same. Now I'm craving some ice cream, even though it's kind of cold in here. Something like the one in the picture...

Habonim Dror Camp Moshava

It's...what I would call ah-mazing. I encourage everyone, especially jews entering grades 4-10 to go. Its mainly a Jewish camp, but anyone can attend. It's a labor zionist movement, and we focus on working together and kupa, sharing. We have two pools, one with a diving board, a lake, a serpentine, and the usual like the dining hall (Chadar Ochel). If you are entering grades 4-7, you live in cabins. If you are entering grades 8-10, you will live in big tents. They have flaps you can put up and are very big, canvas and wood tents. All tents and cabins have a fan and a lightbulb. they also have a few electrical outlets. I encourage everyone who can, to go.

CAT Scan

On Saturday I have to get a CAT scan of my brain. I have been having intense, and spontaneous migraines this year and it's strange because my mom nor her mom or sister had them. My doctor wants me to get it checked out just to make sure it's not anything more serious. I'm kind of scared but my mom reassures me that there's nothing wrong and that I'll be okay. I just want the migraines to stop. It always takes a long time for the Ibuprofen to kick in. I have such bad headaches they make me cry and cry and sometimes scream, I get really nauseated, and I'm sound and light sensitive. I hope everything's okay.

Pro Choice vs. Pro Life

I am pro choice, even though I think that women should try to give birth to a baby if they can; you can put the baby up for adoption. Women need to have a choice. If they really can't give a safe birth for whatever reason, they may try and get an illegal, unsafe abortion or try and move to another country, just so they can avoid giving birth. It's not just the life of a baby or mother, it can affect our society extremely.

Clothes and Style

I always have worn things almost nobody else has. I have never bought the latest trend because it’s too expensive and I don’t want to look like everybody else. It was last year when I started making some clothes and dressing in bright colors. One day I wore a pink shirt with 17 bows on it, two on my shoes, and a few in my hair. Another day I came to school with a pair of bright green skinny jeans and a black shirt with neon peace signs on it. Two of my favorite items of clothing are my gold leggings and a rainbow hat. I don’t spend a lot of money on clothes; I prefer thrift stores and sale racks. People don’t think that places like those have a lot of good clothing, but they just aren’t looking in the right places. I don’t think that you need to spend a lot to get a style that expresses you and still look fashionable.
