The horrible deadline. No matter what the situation you’re in deadlines seem to be constantly  looming above you. That’s how it seems to me, probably because I’m procrastinator. I wait till the last minute to do what I have to do, and I always have to deadline in thee back of my mind. No matter how hard I try to do something early I can’t do it. It’s ridiculous. I always have to do something with only a few second to spare. I know I’m not alone, thousands of people feel the same way about deadlines and have an inability to do something before it’s due. For people that fear deadlines the only advice I might be able to say is try to take a few days off the deadline mentally, that way you’ll do stuff earlier than you would on the real due date. You could also try to to do your task the same day you get it, so you’ll have a head start latter. It will not be easy.  For example,one time for a reading class in sixth grade I had this project to create a board game based on this book we had to have some type of trivia questions in the game. I waited till the day before I had to bring it in. I was up till eleven trying to finish my project, and the only reason I finished was because i knew what I was going to do.

For the few types of people that get what they have to do done fast, you’re extremely lucky, and will probably always be well prepared.

Why is it that when we try to avoid someone for whatever reason they seem to be the first one we see? When you forget to do something for someone you run in to them first thing, and they ask you about the thing your suppose to do. It’s like karma getting back at you. It’s kind of ridiculous, you can’t win.  And the worse part is you always know it’s coming. It’s Murphy’s  law ” Whatever can go wrong will go wrong.” This has happened to me many times.  For instance, one time I really wanted to skip this type of practice for my school team, and I had forgotten to get my physical form, so who do I run into? The coach, who then asked me if I was going which I felt obliged to say yes. This also meant I missed my mom’s birthday, not that she actually did something. Another time I was in a play for school. I had  to bring in my costume, and buy, and paint a small box. For a whole week the person who was n charge asked me if I brought my stuff in, of course the answer was no. Eventually it was the day before the play and I still hadn’t brought in any of my stuff. It seemed like every where I went she was there too. I knew this was going to happen, probably because of guilt. In the end I brought the stuff just in time for the play.

I think this is like a curse all people have. When you want to avoid someone they’ll be there.  I think people know and worry about this because of guilt. You know you might let someone down, or that talking to them will be awkward. So if you are this will happen to you because you didn’t do something, just do your obligation. it’s much easier. But if you physically can’t do that I’m sure the person would understand, and worrying about it does absolutely nothing.

Everyone has probably been in one of these situations. The one everyone fears were you’re talking with this one person for hours, and you have  to do something else, or you don’t get a long with the person, or you just don’t feel like talking. It’s the type of conversation that needs an escape button. The people seem to never stop talking and when someone really tries to get out of this conversation they just keep talking. For example, my mom never liked to talk for hours on the phone,or gossip, but she would get stuck talking for literally two hours to my friends mom listening to her gossip about other kids and her life.

They are two types of never ending conversations: the ones were you actually talk about different things, or the one were you talk about the same thing over and over, and no matter what you don’t do won’t stop talking about the same thing. To me the second type is one of the worst things to be stuck in. It never ends. I have a friend and I remember in a 45 minute advisory she talked about how she couldn’t believe that one of her friends told someone about the person she liked. She told me about what her friend did in two minutes and then told me over and over again for 45 minutes that she couldn’t believe that her friend did this. And even though I told her like  every five minutes that I had to do homework, and would  try to start to read, she’d just tap me on the shoulder and say “Seriously, I can’t believe she did that.” and then the cycle would start all over again.   The ironic part is she told the boy she liked that she liked him so everyone else also knew, so it’s not like her friend telling her other friend would really matter she’d find out any way.she’d talk about the same piece of gossip until she got something new to talk about.. She had a lot of drama though so every time I saw her it was something different.

If you dread the never ending conversation you’ll just have to leave. If you have something you have to do, do it. You can talk to the person later, or try call them back, but you can’t completely brush them off. If you think you’re the type of person who can talk nonstop don’t get mad if a friend has to leave. Also remember to try to not talk about the same thing for an hour, mix it up a bit.

Have you ever had a friend where they love acting, singing, and just about everything that has to do with Broadway, and stages? If you answered yes then there’s a 99.99% chance that if they thought they were stars to be, their parents probably fed them these ideas first. This is the type of person who tells their kid that they’re going to be on Broadway,and are going to be famous. They’re not realistic. Out of all of the millions of people that dream and practice to be stars and singer whats the chance that that one person is going to be  a star? It’s better to support your kid while being sure they no how slim the chances are,that way they can’t be crushed if every thing doesn’t go according to plans.

These parents fill they’re kids head with delusions. Some of my friends with these types of parents will sing and I just stop and think, does she really think she’s gonna be  a star. Or does she really think that she’s such an amazing singer. I probably shouldn’t be talking seeing i don’t sing well,but at least I don’t have delusions about being  a celebrity. If you have  one of these parents than you should try to make sure you’re in reality. Maybe there are some people that are 1 in a 1,000,000.

Lucky is one of the few dogs I know who can do this. Yes he can peel bananas. He doesn’t even squash the banana or eat the peel. He holds the banana between his to paws makes a small hole at the top of the peel and peels the banana. For some reason no ones believes this. I wonder why? I know this sounds strange, but he actually can peel a banana. Once my grandma doubted his talent so we had him show her. In the end even my Grandma was impressed. He may not be the most energetic, or playful dog, infact he’s so lazy he  stays in the same spot for around six hours, and has a fatty deposit on his butt, bu the has his talent like all dogs do. My chihuahua is a great climber, and my cockier spaniel I use to have  could find food a mile away.

All dogs  have a talent. How could they make shows about pet stars and pets that can do something special like dance,or climb, or jump extremely high.

Alright so I had a 12 year old cockier spaniel, named Abby. Her world revolved around food, which to her was any thing. She was ridiculous. She would  sit by you with her giant, cataract-glazed brown eyes and huff extremely loud until you gave up and gave her your food. The more time that would pass that didn’t give her food the louder she would huff, and shake, and claw at your foot. So when she got hold of a rib  bone that was in the garbage she was holding on for dear life. we were playing tug a war with my old cockier spaniel. while my mom was holding one end of the bone I went in and got this huge glass of water. I had went back out and threw the water into Abby’s face. She didn’t even blink. She had a grip like steel on that bone and would rather give her right paw than that bone so we finally gave up. When my mom and her were trying to steal the  bone it was like something had possessed her. Her eyes looked crazy. I learned to not even bother to try to get food from a dog, or at least Abby if I wanted to keep all my fingers.

Pets are special in every single  way, no matter what they do. Pet spread magic and happiness throughout people’s  lives. They can even  improve your health and make your stress decrease. They teach kids responsibility, and are loving parts of the family. Weather they just sit beside you or try to sit on top of your  they are  some of the most special things a person can have. Personally i would tell every one to get a pet, and if it was my choice to get as many dogs as I could want I would be the person in the house that people point at and whisper’ that’s where the crazy dog lady lives. she must have  1o0 dogs, and at night you can hear them howl at the moon.” yes I would be the crazy dog lady. To me it’s crazy to be afraid of a pet, but I get how it can be scary if you were traumatized  Pets are amazing creatures, they do everything from eat the garbage to comforting you when your sick.

Balloons have been a key element to parties for decades. But will they be there in fifteen years? If we keep at the rate we”re using helium now, the answer is no. That’s right, no it’s a girl/boy balloons, or happy birthday balloons, or even just the regular party balloons. This is also means there’s no more thanksgiving day parade balloons. thanksgiving will never be the same. No more blimps that use helium either.

Helium is a natural resource which means that once it’s gone it’s gone. We don’t make helium we take it out of the ground like we do gold, maybe it should cost just as much, or at least this is what some scientist think. We only pay a few dollars for a balloon, some people say we should pay at least 1oo dollars for one party balloon! It ridiculous, but maybe necessary. Were not the only ones that uses helium, so does NASA for their rockets and research.

Things we can do to try to help prolong the helium becoming extinct. Don’t buy a balloon for every party, and every occasion.(you can still have a balloon for a birthday and keep Thanksgiving day traditions for a few more years.)  I can’t even think of a Thanksgiving without balloons and floats. it’s a tradition. Helium supplies are getting smaller and smaller.

Have you ever had to eat your mom/dad’s food that’s like burnt rubber? I have. My mom is one of the worst chefs I know. She’s burnt just about every thing she makes even water( how she managed this I have no idea). Her favorite thing in the kitchen is the microwave.  Almost every meal every thing was either microwaved or the type of cooking she calls the ” forget about it cooking” that’s her favorite and only style of cooking. She puts a piece of meat in the oven and will forget about it for an hour. At age ten I was a better chef than her, and I could only cook things you put in the microwave, scrambled eggs, and hamburgers. She’s even had things explode in her kitchen. She had tried to make a Brazilian dish for my girl scout international dinner, and when i came home the kitchen was coated in flour.

Advice for kids who have  parents who cook the inedible.

1. Learn to cook as soon as possible
2. See if you can go over to your friends house for dinner
3. Train your stomach to be able to eat the inedible.
4. Search for cooking classes for your parent

If you have a bad cook that makes your meals be careful. You might get food poisoning. It’s ridiculous how bad these chefs are.

“Skate! Skate! Come on! Go faster!” if you have a hockey mom like I do, or any other type of crazy, sports moms you know how ridiculous they can be. Always shouting at every one. My mom doesn’t even help me practice but when it comes to screaming at every one on every team she’s the loudest one there. One time it wasn’t even my game, in fact it was the beginners, but she “coached” every one of them. She’ll even scream at the team I’m going against. She doesn’t  even know about hockey. If you have a sports parents good luck and you can try telling them not to scream so much. I tired this and after a while she wasn’t the loudest person in the crowd. She use to be even louder than the coach, as you can imagine this can be a problem.

Try talking to your parent if you have a hockey mom, or a soccer mom, whatever sport. If that doesn’t work your screwed, unfortunately.
