Dulce

Now it's your turn. You are probably the one friend i can count on to be totally honest with me at all times. Not only about me but about yourself. I know you don't tell me everything, that's okay because i don't tell you everything either. But on the whole you are very open. YOu have very polar moods. Not bi polar but a wide range of mood i mean. Some days you can be all gloom and it makes me think and question. Other days you are happy and dare i say it "peppy" and you make me laugh. I find it hard to not join in with your antics. You have a way of getting past my armor ans shields and forcefields and well you get the picture and help the real me to come out. For that i thank you. You have probably affected me the most in how i view the world around me and my beliefs about everything. You ahve taught me to think and discover for myself. Not just believe it because other people say so but to question it and only believe it if i find it true. You have me to stop getting spoon fed by other people and become more of an individual. Not only do you do all of this just cause i am your friend. You show time and again that you really care. that you care if i have a good day or not. Not like other people who ask just to make conversation, you really care. that has made me be honest when i say "good" or "okay" or "nyeh". Tht means a lot to me. And despite my best efforts of caution i have come to care for you more than i anticipated. I am still learning how to show you how much i care but for me stuff like that is hard. well, enough mush. I think your great. I hope the years to come are filled with more time with Dulce.

NOTE: Don't worry your hair looks great, it always does.

Name a time when Dulce really showed her care for you.

Jennifer

Now it is your turn. You are probably. No, most definately the most outspoken member of the whole group. You speak what you think and darn anybody you thinks otherwise. You do things your way even if other people think it is strange (like eating a pizza layer by layer). Despite your strong front, you are a very caring person. You look out for your friends and only want the best for them. You stick by them and give them advice, even when they don't want it, yet they can't refuse it for it was sent with love and they know its true.
You think about things in creative ways. You delve deep into issues that others would leave well alone. On the other hand you are not wary of discussing rediculous things. You are always willing to talk about anything. You always make conversations more interesting.
You are an intrical part of our group and we all appreciate everything you say and do. This just wouldn't be the same group without you. We all look forward to the years ahead and all the times we will spend together.

Name one time Jennifer gave you adviec that you found hard to take but knew it was true.

Toni

You are a very strong individual. You speak what you think but you are mindful of those around you and always try to look out for other's feelings. You have a deep love for people and you try to be friends with everyone. I do not see you very often anymore but you still manage to communicate with me and the rest of the crew. Perhaps your only flaw is that you are too nice. You try to be every one's friend and in the end someone end's up hurting you. Being friendly is never a bad thing but you need to make sure you protect yourself. I don't want to see you hurt. I hope in the future we will be able to see each other more often. You are one of the original group members and you are here to stay.

What is one thing that Toni has done that made you smile?

New Material

I have a new blog! Check it out!

Brian White

Brian,
You are so cool! You are wicked good on the guitar, you rock on DDR and lots of other games. You have a spontaneous sense of humor, but never forget the old inside jokes. You always find a way to make me forget all the junk that happened during the day and just allow myself to let loose and have fun. Beyond being funny, you are a loyal friend and you have proved it to several of us on several occasions. You are always in-tune with others emotions and seem to always know what to say and what not to. I admire your ability to comfort people and your knack for cheering them up. These past few years have been so much more enjoyable with you around.
Thanks.

What is the nicest thing Brian has done for you?

Blogger Challenge

I know you all have been anxious to see me complete the blogger challenge well here is how i will do it. I will take one day (or maybe two) to do each individual person. It may take more time but it will hopefully be more thorough. As you all know i am not one to talk about this kind of stuff, so we will see how this turns out.

And so without further ado:

The Blogger's Challenge

I will begin with Dominic (i hope i spelled that right!)

Dominic,

I have not known you very long, and i admit that i do not know you very well. You are by far one of the most outgoing people in our group. You speak your mind and are not afraid of what others may think. I like that about you. You make us all smile, especially during lunch. I think onee of the funnest times i had with you was sitting at the indian table with you. I felt so out of place, i guess that is how you felt when you came to our little group but somehow you just fit right in and joined the fun. No conversation is dull with you around, especially when you are steering it. I think that you are here to stay. Even though you were not part of the original group or even the Kimbrough clic, i think we all think of you as "one of us" and look forward to the many laughs ahead.

What is the funniest thing that Dominic has said or done?

Converstions That Are Not

This is so cool, i am so pumped that you guys are being so good with the comments. This is really a neat little thing we got going.

It's odd. I am not very talkative at school as you guys have noticed, but this whole blog thing really helps me to let loose and just talk. I hope you guys feel the same. This helps me talk about stuff that would be hard for me to talk about in person, but somehow it is easier to say on the digital page. So let us begin.

What would you find weird to say in person but find easier to say online? Come on. Be honest. I'll start. I always feel dorky around Kim, naive around Dulce, clever but slightly odd around Jennifer, and yet around Brian I feel completely at ease. Why this is, i do not know but it happens. Maybe i just have a girl deficiency.

Breaking Caleb

This is my TAKS essay, but it felt good to get this off my chest, so i decided to share.


When things get rough in gym, people get hurt, maybe not in a physical sense but more in an emotional sense. Emotional wounds cut deep into humans for we are naturally social creatures. We enjoy the company others so much it is close to a necessity for our sanity. We yearn for acceptance and friendship. If that need is rejected by people around us we are left broken. This is not truer with anyone but Caleb.
Caleb was a boy I knew in my P.E. class in seventh grade. The poor kid got the short stick when it comes to the popular view of good looks. He had brown curly hair, wide circular eyes, teeth that poked out of his mouth even when it was closed. He was obese, had a bad back causing him to lean forward, and that gave him a sort of stomping waddle when he walked. That already gave the other guys plenty of opportunities to pick on him. They slipped quick insults at him as they left the locker room. They laughed when he messed up in games. Then he fell asleep in class and everyone had a field day. However, none of that compared to his fierce temper. For the first couple of weeks he blew off the harsh remarks and cruel giggles. But after a while, he started glaring at his attackers which only gave them more ammunition for torture. They would contort their faces and stare back in mockery. Then he started yelling. This only caused them to laugh even harder.
One day it came to a climax. We were playing soccer in the gym. Every time Caleb got the ball, someone would take it, giving his team mates an excuse to ridicule his lack of skill. Soon the other team began to mess with him. One boy would distract him while the other poked his back or head. Soon soccer turned into a game of “see how mad we can make Caleb”. Well, Caleb had had enough. He charged at his aggressors in blind rage. They easily evaded his feeble attempts, and laughed with glee at this new game. Caleb stopped and let out a scream of fury. It resembled the roar of a wounded beast mixed with the wail of a frightened child. There he stood, bawling, staring at the crowd of boys who could not stop laughing hysterically.
Those boys could not see past his outer appearance. They could not see that inside their play toy was a guy just like them, wanting desperately to be accepted. He just wanted to be treated like a human being. Instead, he was beaten down with every cruel word, every look of disgust, and every back that turned to not be included in the torture but was every bit a part of it because they were deaf to his cries for help, for mercy. I was one of them.
I have talked to several people that have seen Caleb since that year. They say no matter how hard they try, and no matter how nice they are; Caleb is mean to them. He shouts and complains to even the kindest words. He has been ruined and embittered by the people who did not accept him. When people seek friendship and acceptance for they are, to scorn them is to scar their soul. People do not have to be friends with everyone, but they must respect everyone. Because if I learned one thing during my time with Caleb it is this: hearts and toys have two things in common. Both were made to be loved and accepted, and both are quite easily broken.

I feel bad for what i did, and i only hope "Caleb" is happy where ever he is.

Have you ever experienced anything like this?
