My Parents Were Stupider Than I Was When I Was Five.
I was already outsmarting my parents by the age of 5. Not to boast but I was pretty smart for a kid. It wasn't too hard to outsmart my parents either though since they were both dumb.

Halloween in Transylvania
Halloween in Transylvania: Transylvania. The name itself is enough to send an icy chill down the spine of even the most fearless adventurer. Now imagine being there, in person, when the clock clangs midnight… on Halloween! At odds with its creeptacular reputation, Romania ranks as one of Europe’s most charming and underexplored regions, beguiling visitors with its stunning Gothic architecture, enveloping forests, and friendly people. But as idyllic as it is by day, the real fun happens at night — particularly Halloween, when we’ll treat you to a costume party in an authentic castle. Think you’re not afraid of the dark?

The Artistic Girl From Huntington Hills
Once upon a time there were two girls. One was a writer and the other was completely different. They met because they both shared a common situation.
When I was in grade 12 I used to draw pictures, go hiking, and write poetry under the moonlight. I recently tried turning some of my poetry into a novel called "Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen" not after the Lindsay Lohan movie but just because I felt that I was comming from a circle of teenage a drama queens and there was a lot that I wanted to confess.
Well years after grade 12 I continued to paint pictures, write poetry and keep up with people that I knew from school and for some reason I have always had a real interest in the Star Wars series.
I might even post some poetry on here in the future but I am not sure. I have also started writing many different stories(usually fantasy fairy-tale ones) and sometimes I publish them. Also I am still keeping up with people that I knew in school.
The End and bye for now!

How I Nearly Went to Strathcone Tweedsmuir High School
When I was in high school and was involved in competitive running and wrestling I thought about going to Strathcona Tweedsmuir High School but ended up not going because that school was too far away. I stayed at John G. Diefenbaker high school for most of high school and also went to Bishop Carroll High School for a period of time. That school had a good swim team which was impressive but it was pretty far from where I lived so I ended up returned to John. G. Diefenbaker High School in the end.
The End!
