What's up? Gas prices

Why do I always forget to write these until the last minute? I don't know, it's so stupid of me. Anyways, I just went to one of those choir things at the lds conference center. It was really cool, although I did fall asleep during the showing. Jk, but I did fall asleep during the movie 10,000 b.c.! It was embarrasing having my parents wake me up and drag me out of our movie room so we could all go to bed and not leave me. I still am tired. Huh. zzzzzzzzzzzzzz. jk, i didn't fall asleep, or did I? Maybe i'm sleep writing?! And then zombies will come and eat everyone!!! And the world will be thrown into chaos and we'll all be turned into zombies and...that was really fun to write, you all should try it sometime. So while i'm writing this thing why don't i have some fun, if Mr. Thompson is reading this, can you respond and say whether chocolate or soda is better? That's very random, and I really want to know. I went to the u of u game against weber state. U of U won, 34-7! Not very good for the wildcats, but very good for the utes. And the Davis homecoming game against weber high, 9-7! Not very good for Davis, but very good for Layton I guess. And did you guys see the office the other day. FUNNY!!! Micheal grows a goatee and becomes humongous, Toby got fired in the last episode, that was really weird. I think everyone should get the chance to watch the office at least once. But not when they're really young. It is so not appropriate for those young kids. Like this one time I was at Lake Powell watching the office on my ipod touch and my cousin who's 8 comes up to me and asks to watch, I tell him no, and he gets really mad, but I knew he would be grossed out if I showed him that show. I also wait for the last minute to type these things, they drive my parents crazy, me writing 500 words every night at around 11 o'clock! I guess most people have this dream, but I really want an Iphone! Being able to surf the internet, access itunes, facebook, and plenty of other stuff. My dad has one, and really amazes me at all the stuff he can do on that phone. I don't have anything nearly as cool as what he has. He's always into the technical stuff and I guess I am too, but I won't be as succesful as him until i'm older. Which will bring up another question, do you think kids younger than 16 should have minimum wage jobs? Why or Why not? Now I sound like a teacher! Lol, but that would be scary for me, no offense Mr. T. I hate right now when I'm at the end and I'm out of ideas so this should finish up the last 19 words required.

Hola, again

Hey, it's me again.  It's been so much fun these weeks of school.  Well I guess I shouldn't say fun, more like my grades aren't crummy.  I actually have all A's!!!  Yay, I can't believe it's happening.  The book we're reading is actually pretty good as well.  I hated it at first, but now it's getting a bit more interesting.  These blogs are still pretty annoying to write, though.

Anyways, lets get right down to it.  I hear that most people just do daily reflections, and this 500 words in one night is getting pretty annoying, so I guess I'm to do that; starting with my next blog.  For now let us reflect on the wonderful world of the Count of Monte Cristo.  

From what I have gathered, he had this supposed friend in the inspection office questioning him, promised to help him, burned any evidence that could incriminate himself.  Then this Dantes got thrown into prison, for 4 years, and that's about where I am.  He does have a friend in the prison trying to escape, so he's trying to get out as well.  His friend is also a writer, writing an autobiography in the prison using his shirts.  

I think he needs some help.  Dantes started trying to kill himself, and then he gave up on it.  It looks like he can never go back into society.  Hence him becoming the Count of Monte Cristo.  He looks like he's very charming, polite, and willing to break a law or two to help a friend.

I'm guessing that a blog can be written about anything, so I've been trying to write about the book, but It looks like it won't fill up all 500 words, so I'll write questions to people who know more than this than I could possibly know right now.  So here are my questions, how do you do a word check on this thing without pasting it into a word document?  Do you guys and girls listen to music while writing your blogs?  What are your blogging websites and how could I find them easily?  Just answer these questions under a falcon forum I'll create titled "questions".  Thanks for the help.

Right there I thought I could finish, but I did a word count and I discovered that I wrote way too little words.  So here I go, let's think of a random subject to ask about.  Oh here's one, do you guys have a facebook, if you don't, you should, they are very awesome.  You can meeet all your friends, and have many fan things about almost everything.

I guess I should definently stop talking about random topics and get back on the topic, oh and if  you haven't figured it out yet, these out loud thoughts are for taking up words, just kidding Mr. Thompson.  If you're reading this though, that fly story was very funny, I can't believe it would mark the exact place to stop a reading.  So back to the Count of Monte Cristo.

My prediction is pretty much the same as last time, he's going to escape in some way and find the treasure, probably marooning a few ships along the way.  Afterwards, he'll tell his grandkids this story, showing how wrongly he was treated, and pass the story along until it reaches here.  I'm really excited to figure out how they would escape.

Hello honors english

Hello fellow students of honors english. My name is Thomas Roberts, and this is my first time writing a blog, so bear with me if I completely mess up. I hear we have to write 500 words per blog, and that for me just seems, excessive. I've never written 500 words for any assignment ever, much less every single day, so here I go.

I guess I should start by introducing myself. I'm 14 years old, in Mr. Thompson's english class, and already feeling overwhelmed in 9th grade. I'm an excellent reader. I'm not much of a writer, however, which I hope to get better at by doing these every week. My favorite subject is Science, which i'm really not excited for this year. I have Biology, which already is very hard.

I live in Fruit Heights, Utah, where almost no one knows where that is. It's right next to Layton, on the mountainside. It's very private there, and we have a nice little neighborhood. Most of my friends live right next to me one way or the other. From my house we can see the great salt lake and lots more. Like I said before, we have a ton of work in 9th grade, especially in this class, if anyone can say how to get a word count on you writing, would you please tell me? It would be very helpful.

The book we're reading, the Count of Monte Cristo (the abridged version), so far I've read 25-30 pages of that book, and so far all i've gotten from the book is that a captain dies on this trip out to sea. Then the first mate is poised to become captain, and on that trip dislikes another of the crewman. This crewman when they get back on land is extremely unhappy that he's so successful. He even is about to get married. A few hours before they marry, the police arrive to bring him in. So far they think its nothing but something he forgot to sign, so they can't let him out tell he signs something.

My prediction for what will happen is that he's framed for a murder of his captain and is imprisoned for life. His fiance will be extremely upset and will marry the crewman who I think framed him for the murder. That crewman will likely become captain of the ship and become what this first mate was poised to become. I also read the back, which says that someone there will break him out, and lead him to the treasure of Monte Cristo, which is probably where the story will unfold. He will then steal a ship and attack many ships on the way, therefore earning him the nickname, the Count of Monte Cristo.

I suppose, I'd better wrap this blog up soon. I'm very excited for this year, and working with all the honors english students. Usually my predictions come true in a book, so I'm making an inference just above. You might have a different theory, and I will respect that. Well, it was a bunch of fun blogging just now. I can't wait to do it again and read all of yours later.
