JOURNAL ENTRY #5
Woke up this morning and i was in the mood for change. So i went into the pantry took out some Rice Crispies and ate it with regular milk, normally i eat it with chocolate milk (yes, I'm a chocolate luva, AND PROUD OF IT!!!!). Went on this website and changed my image, another one of my favorite characters, Raven.(smile) And i decided to read a book that my dad gave to me. Never read it until today because i always thought that it would bore me into a nightmare of boring books(smile). But today i decided to change not wanting to read it, so... i read the book. When i read the first page... let's just say.... I LOVED IT!!!!! The writing was soooo deep! And i love deep books.
the book is called: The Alchemist, and it's written by: Paulo Coelho
Basically the book is about a young shepherd who wants to travel the world. He has a dream that is puzzling him, so he decides to go to a lady who can translate dreams. She tells him that he will find some treasure, but when he does, he must give her one-tenth of what he finds. Later on that day he comes in contact with an old man, who is soon to be revealed as a wise king. The king gives him two stones that will help the boy throughout his journey. The boy then sells his sheep and goes to Africa so that he can find the treasure which is in Egypt. During the boy's adventure he comes in contact with some people and helps them change their life for the better, while at the same time, he is learning more and more about the ever-so-mysterious Language of the World. This book teaches about how every one and everything is connected, and that the earth and all it's creatures breathe and have a heart beat as one along with this vast universe. Whether we realize it or not, we all affect everything in some way.
Isn't it soooo strange how many times we don't do something just because we feel that it will not entertain us, or that it is not important in any way? When we do this, many times we miss out on some very interesting and important things. When i did that with this book that my dad gave me, i missed out for two years on a good story and an interesting lesson. So this morning i actually learned two things:
- Don't not try out something, just because you feel that it won't entertain you
&
- It's good to have change every once and a while, so that you can discover new things.

DEAR JOURNAL ENTRY#4
I was just sitting here and wondering if any new species, or colors could be created. Why not? There MUST be more than just three primary colors in the universe, because if there isn't.....then the universe is pretty dull. And I KNOW that more species can be created other than the ones that we know about already. Who knows? We probably don't even know half of the species here on earth anyways. And is there an instument that hasn't been discovered yet? If so, what sound would it make? These are the typical questions i ask myself every day. Sometimes I draw what i think that a flower from another solar system might look like. They look nothing like the flowers here on earth, yet there is something strangely familiar about it. Almost as though I've seen something like it before. And I know this is a crazy question to ask, but I just have to ask it: Do you think we are wiser when we are babies, just in a different way than we are now? Maybe learning some things here on earth took away some of our wisdom that we had when we were younger. I personally think that babies are wiser than we give them credit for. They can sense and see things that we can't. It makes me wonder; what are they looking at when their eyes seem to be following something that we can't see? What are they laughing at when we think they are laughing at us, but their eyes are actually focused on something in the corner behind us? And I'm not even going to ask about when they start crying.....that just freaks me out. But maybe they seek to us for comfort, because we can't see the things that they can, so we aren't afraid of it, and therefore have the ability to comfort them better. Maybe if we could see what they saw, we would be just as freaked out about it as they are.
*this is a peice of the thoughtful side of me*

DEAR JOURNAL ENTRY #3
Yeah,....... my title basically said everything, but here's somemore detail....
i'm sitting in my room on the computer(duh, how else would i be able to type this?) *smile*
Just came from watching Over The Hedge three times. After that i watched some rerun episodes of Avatar on turbonick.
All of my buddies are off the computer.
Don't have anything to do........ (sigh)
Just wasted about thirty seconds of your life. Sorry!...............................................................
............ An idea JUST hit me!!!!!(smile) I'm gonna throw a one-man party!!!!!! WOOOHOOOO! (smile) Bye!
Ok(smile) one of my friends convinced me to post the first chapter of a novel i'm writing. It's a little long, so i hope you don't get bored too fast!(smile) Enjoy!
The oak trees were orange and gold as the sunrise rays outlined them with radiance. the forest carpet was covered in brown pine leaves and their scent left the fragerance that yepa yanaba loved. she was out hunting with her friend dyami. they were trying to find a buck for their green corn dance. A yearly celebration that their tribe celebrated during fall. suddenly they heard something rustling , it sounded as though it was not far from them in front. Maybe about twenty paces forward an dfour paces to the right. dyami quietly took his arrow from his arrow sack and swung his bow skillfully in aiming position toward the sound. they crept closer, and closer, making sure they didnt step on a twig or pine cone. yepa yanaba's heart began to race, but she managed to keep her breathing steady and quiet. even the faintest sigh could startle the animal and cause them to loose their catch. it sounded as though the animal was behind the tall holly bush in front of them. they crouched down behind it. yepa yanaba silently moved her bow and arrow sack in a more comfortable position and brushed her long braid behind her back from off her shoulder so that it woudnt get in the way if she ever needed to get into aming position. Dyami used his arrow to quietly push the sharp holly leaves to the side so that he could see what their catch woul dbe. It was a large buck eating blackberries with it's back turned to them. a perfect position.
Dyami turned to Yepa yanaba. This shoud be an easy kill, he signaled to her, so don't make a single sound!
Yepa yanaba rolled her eyes: if anyone should be telling anyone else how to hunt , it should be me! she signaled back to him.
Just because your father's the chief, he signaled, doesn't mean that youre a better hunter than me. After are you are a girl...
to this yepa yanaba narrowed her eyes and clenched her fist. Dyami grinned, jumped up and shot at the buck. he missed. how could he miss? he hardly ever missed! the startled buck looked up and bounted away behind a bush. Yepa yanaba sighed, swiftly got into aiming position and let go of her arrow. it wizzed through the bush. everything was quiet. ha you missed! jeerd dyami. Yepa yanaba tossed her braid behind her back again and began walking were she had fired her arrow. well if i did it was a whole lot better tahn your try. she said. Dyami walked beside her to where she had shot the arrow. and there layed a dead large buck that he had tried to kill. she folded her arms and smiled at him. hey, he said , what happens in the forest stays in the forest. ok?
whatever... she said, and bent down to tie the front legs of the buck together while Dyami tied the back legs. i'll go look for a branch, said Dyami. she nodded her head and rested against a large oak tree. as soon as he left she realized how much cooler it had gotten from a seaason ago. it was so cold now that she could speak and see her breath. she began playing with her breath, blooing out long and shourt puffsz and watching them disappear into thin air. Dyami had been gone for quite a while an dshe became bored and restless. what is taking him so long? she asked herself over and over again. she crossed her legs and slumped against the giant oak tree. reluctantly yepa yanaba pulled out a flute that she had been carving out of cherry wood from her pouch. she admired her work. it was a maroon color which she had dyed the wood in and was shaped in a intricately detailed design of a slithering snake. Yepa yanaba took out her dagger and began adding the final detailsof the scales. her goal was to finish it up by her birthday in winter, she would be turning fifteen, and her parents had promised a big celebration but right now they were working on the green corn dance celebration. she sighed wondering what her parents are doing right now. Her mom is probably helping the other women too prepare. the feast.her mind wandered to the warm corn bread and cranberry sauce and roasted turkey with mashed squash, and turkey stuffing, along with pumpkin seeds and sweet corn with beens. her mouth began to water she could almost taste andsmell the food already and the celebration wouldn't even start until sunset. her stomach began grumbling reminding her that she still hadn't had her morning meal. which lead her mind to the buck thecaptured and reminded her that Dyami still hadn't returned. the wind rustled the autumn leaves, causing them to slowly drift down. their golden apearence reflecting light from the sun, causing the slightly gloomy forest to brighten with the loveliness of a fresh new morning. Yepa Yanaba breathed out another sigh as she became boared with working on her flute. she wrapped it in a leather cloth she found in her pouch and just sat still. Taking in the wonderful view of the forest. After a while, taking in the view of the forest became boring. it was useless... she had nothing else to do... except to sit there, or she could go and look for dyami maby he was hafing touble picking of a branch. she smiled to herself, imagining dyami struggling over a tiny weak branch and staggering to the ground. But suddenly another tought woped her smile clean off her face, what if one of those English settlers had come and was attacking him? No matter how hard they tried to be nice, those guguys always seemed to try to attack them anyways it seemed as though they had no heart whatsoever! She had lost her older brother to a battle that they had with a group of settlers. her eyes began to burn, tears trying to escape but she blinked them away. Her heart started racing. She couldnot bear to have her dearest friend gone! No matter how frustrating he could get. Yepa yanaba jumped up and began running in the direction that Dyami had left her. the pintree branches and bushes scraped against her face and arms. her long braid wipped behind her as she ran as a deer about to be hunted down. her feet were barely touching the ground.
Dyami!! she screamed
Dyamiii!!!
no response.
she knelt down and wept beside an oak tree. A lump of fear was caught in her throat.
Please let him be okay... she whispered hoarsely to herself.
She heard footsteps. heavy footsteps. comming nearer. Yepa yanaba jerked her head up in the direction. two settler soldiers were heading her way. slowy she crept behind th eoak tree. they were comming closer. she held her breath making sure not to make a single cound. THe soldier with brown haired appeared to be in his mid twenties. he looked around. earching for the cry he had just heard.the second soldier that accompanied him was about a few years younger with dark hair like midnight, but with grey blue eyes of a stormy ocean.
I could have sworn i heard a savage. said the brown haired soldier
Hush Thomas, i heard stories that they can be very quiet, don't offend them or they mmight attack. the blue eyed soldier whispered in a hushed tone. his eyes darted about. Yepa yanaba couldnt hold her breath any longer. she sighed releived to finally get another breath. realizing what she had done, she caught herself. but it was too late, the soldiers had heard her betraying sigh. immediatel a shot was fired and scraped agaist the oak tree. she squeezed her eyes shut and pressed herself against it afraid of getting hit.
I have to run, she thought o herself.
another bullet hit the oak tree. she dashed off.
wait! a voice called out.
she took a quick glance back but kept on running.
see what you did thomas?!! raged the grey blue eyed soldier, YOu scared her off!! Now how do you expect that we'll find the village were looking for??!!he pointed his finger to thomas.
YOu are the one that's going to have to answer to Sir REginald, not me!
Hrrrmp! grunted thomas, the little savage deserved it, and I'm sure that well find it without those little beast's help Nate.
They are not savages, they can be very intelligent, An dif you call them beasts than youre calling us one too.
Dont dare compare me to one of those savages!!! shouted THomas
THe only difference, Thomas, is how they dress and their color.
To this Thomas had no reply. there was silence between them as thomas took in what nate had just said. when he had put it that way, Maybe ther was a possilbility that they were not savages.
Lets go back to the colony. grumbled THomas. he trudged off, his boots hitting the forest carpet loudly. nate took one more glanc at the direction thay the girl had run off, then followed thomas.
UUUrrgghhhh. Dyami ws strainig to get a perfect branch foff of the tree. he jumped up ,straining to get it. he had tried climbing it, but the trunk was too small and it almosk broke when he yried. Then an ides hit him! if it was to weak to climb up he could run against it and it might fall!after all it was a pretty wimpy looking tree. Dyami stepped back a few steps and rammed against it with his shoulder. pain surged through it. OOOOOWWWW!!! he groaned. it was throbbing with enormous pain. he held his shoulder and was aabout to kneal down against the tree. as he groaned some more. but before he could, he heard a small yelp as something rammed into hem knocking him breathless to the ground.
Oh Dyami!!! i'm so glad i found you! It was yepa yanaba and she was out of breath and tears were streaming out of her eyes. she hugged him tightly.
his arm began throbbing again, and having had had the air knocked out of him and being crushed underneath her extremely tight hug made it even harder for him to breathe.
Oww! he hoarsely gasped, struggling to get some air into his lungs
Yepa, I ... cant... breathe! he wheezed the last word out.
oh! I am so sorry! are you okay? she asked with an intense amount of concern in her light brown eyes as she noticed that he was holing his shoulder. she gasped and her eyes opened wide in horror.
they didnt get you did they?!!!
huh? he asked still out of breath, Who?
those soldiers, didn't you hear there gunshots?
what gun shots? i didnt hear anything... he realized that he had fully regained his breathing. he sighed. I guess i was too busy trying to get that branch up there. he pointed to it with his un injured arm. i'm too heavy to climb up so i tried ramming into it and i hurt my shoulder.
Yepa sighed with releif and let out a short soft laugh. Ill get it since i weigh less.
she escrampled up the tree expertly, broke off the branch, and lightly landed on the forest floor.
Show off. he groaned holding his shoulder and sat down resting against the tree. Yepa yanaba smiled.
since your right shoulder is hurt, she sid, you are going to heve to carry it on your left. Come on lets go back to the buck.
Yepa yanaba helped dyami to get up.
As she put the the long branch between the bucks ankles, dyami leaned against the same oak tree that she had been resting on when he left her.
okay, its ready now. she sid to Dyami
NOw, are you sure that you will be able to help me? yepa yanaba asked
How else will you expect it to get to the village? dyami questioned her while getting up.
After fumbling with the branch for a while, Dyami finally got it in a comfortable position.
Ready? she asked
Ready. he replied
So they began walking back to the village with the buck. the heavy load they caried swung side to side, aggrivating dyami's good shoulder. to keep his mind pff both of his hurting shoulders he tried focusing on something else. For him that was easy, Yepa yanaba. THey had been friends ever since he could remember. His parents couldn't have anymore children after him, so she was always like a sister to him. a really fun sister. she wasn't like the other girls in the village at all. Yepa was a tom boy. and everyone always had fun with her, well everyone except for those few, okay alot of the settler soldiers that would frequently come over to their village trying to have them follow their ways of something that they called religion. Yepa always gave them a tough time when they came over. asking them questions that many of them would stagger or puzzle over. It wasn't always like that before though, it all started after the battle. It was three years ago, and some settler soldiers had attacked. THey killed her older brother. he was her world and she was his. Dyami was there when it happened, and it was a horrible sight. Yepa yanaba wept and was in distress for a whole month. and she still is, he thought. she would frequently sit by herself, her eyes all solemn and sad as though she were replaying everything that went on on that horrible day. at that moment his heart went out to her. He then remembered that when yepa had ran into him this morning she was crying. he stopped short.
Is every thing okay Yepa? he asked. she turned her head slowly and stared at him thoughtfully for a while.
yes i'm fine. yepa replied hesitantly. Its just....never mind.she shook her head to herself and turned back around. they began wlking again.
i know it's hard for you, but i was wondering why you were crying when you bumped into me.
silence. finally she spoke.
they shot at me. she said slowly. it was like reliving it all over again. once again tears welled up in her eyes but she blinked them away before they could spill. her voic got shakey. I thoght they had gotten you. her voice faltered showing the intensity of the pain she was feeling.
Dyami stopped.
Yepa, sit down. they layed the buck down gently and sat on the carpet floor. He put his hand on her shoulder, comforting her.
You know that you can always talk with your mom and dad about it. you shouldt hold it in. And of course you know you can always speak with me about it. okay?
Yepa had her head bowed down and her eys closed.
Yes. she whispered hoarsely.
Good,he replied, i just wanted you to know that okay?
She nodded her head. but deep downinside, they both knew that Yepa yanaba would never get over the pain she felt whenever she thought about it.
You what??!!! sputtered a re d headed man with his face almost teh same color out of imense rage.
my lord, We couldn't find the village, nor Indians, replied Thomas
Well, except one, but THomas scared her off. mumbled nate, thomas glared at him, as Sir Reginald, began to growl under frustration.
Uh, but it wasnt his fault! HE was just trying to protect us!
Oh, Just trying to protect us, Sir reginald mimicked
I send my two best soldiers out ther to find one simply small village to check it out, and you can't find it???!!!
wEll my lord they must have relocated from the last battle...replied THomas
UUghhh, sir reginald exhasperatingly sighed . Just what we need.
Um, Sir reginald, inquired NAte, mightr i ask you hwy you are so esager to find these indians?
Because, you fool, Raged sir reginald ,the king ordered it!!! and you need not knw more, just go and find it before tommorrow. Ill send one extra person with you so that once you find it you can send word back, if you don't ill be sure you both are beheaded!
Like that will make us come back, murmered Nate.
What was that??!! Sir reginald shouted.
nothing, my lord, nate replied
Sir reginalds eyes bcame tiny slits, I hope so. Now leave!
thomas and nate walked out, the soldiers that were trying to listen to the conversation in sir Reginald's tent, quickly acted as though they were not interested. th etwo men were furious and humiliated. Not only had they goten a tongue lashing from Sir reginald, but all of the other soldiers had heard it too. A man strode up to them wearing the same uniform that NAt e and thomas were wearing, brown leather boots, black trousers, blue flannels and a worn, brown, wool petticoat. he had a nice tan despite the cold, and his sun-kissed hair matched his skin nicely.
I see Sir reginald didn't fancy the two of you failing him. He grinned, and leaned in closer, you know they are all going to be talking about it, i hope you'll be able to have a nice rest tonight.
the two hadnt laughed at the sandy haired Australian's joke. seeing that they wouldn't be able to sleep or maybe evin live tonight.
Stop goofing Mark, Said nate sternly
Can't you see our life is at stake if we don't find that village, by tonight?
well, said thomas, goodbye mark, it seems as though this will be the last morning that we'll be able to talk.
Oh, sorry mates, i didn't know it was that serious. he regretingly replied. the happiness from in his eyes suddenly went out. they stood there in the chilled air. for a while none of them spoke. autumn leaves falling around the three lighting and cheering up every thing in the soldier camp, everything inside of the camp except the three young friends who were figuring out how they could work out the obstacle that they had just encounter. then just as quick as the happiness in mark's eyes went out, it reappeared. but this time a light shone behind his eyes also, giving it the color of an emerald being caught in rays of sunlight.
Well, he drawled thoughtfully, IIIIIII Cooouuuullld come with you guys....
and help you find it and when you do i could go and tell sir Reginald. but if you don't you guys coul drun away and i'll just say that the villagers caught you two and killed you guys.
But what would happen if he asks you to lead them to the village? asked thomas
(smile) well that was part of the first chapter! Hope you guys liked it! (smile) if i get enough comments i just MIGHT add a second issue (smile) Oh yeah, and sorry for all the type-os
