Holly's Greek Myth Video

Holly's Video


After hours of filming, and 6 hours of editting, the video is finally done! Enjoy!!


Oh and once I get the bloopers video to post to youtube, ill post it!

..?!

Here's a post, I guess.


It's odd, I know, whatever.


By the way...
Here's to my dears (oh, this'll be awkward ^_^")

Brea: Much love, of course, for the amazing sophomore I met in drama<3 You're funny, spectacular, and I have no clue what I'd do without you livening up the school ^o^ Cheers to the two years ahead of us~
Markeeta: Eek! I'm sorry if I spelled your name wrong! D: Anyhoo, I love how you're so opinionated~ Always speak your mind, hon, and remain true to yourself ^_^ Much love<3
Kelsey: Ehee~ Well, you're very intelligent, of course, and I'm sure you hear that a lot. ^o^ Much love for your smartyness<3 You're also funny, nice, and altogether wonderful, dahhhling~
Cortney: Well, aren't you a sweetie? ^_^ Hehe I know that sounds creepy, but I've never heard you say a negative thing about anything or anyone~ You seem like you'd make a good friend, so much love<3
Brandon: Your swooshy hair is fantastic ^o^ Felt like I should add that, heheh. Plus, you quote Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, also, so that's a definite virtue right there~ Much love<3
Holly: You have an amazing two cents for everything and make Geometry that much more exciting~ Much love for the German and random bouts of dancing<3 I miss you at lunch Q_Q
JP: In another attempt to say somethiing in a non-creepy way, you just have that air of 'cool' if that makes sense? You're level-headed (and we need that) but you still know how to have fun ^_^ Much love<3
Liz: You're so flipping fantastic, and much love for that<3 Your taste in music is lovely and you make morning car rides a whole lotta less lonely~ You're gonna go somewhere, and words will be your road ^o^
Sara: Well, I've never really talked to you, but as far as I can tell, you are a fabulous person all around ^_^ Ahh, you deserve much love for not having a single negative aspect<3
Erica: I know you probably won't read this, but you're part of Lit, too. ^_^ I miss you lots, and I wish I could have known you for longer before you left. Much love for one of my favorite seniors<3
Melissa: Pssh. You prolly won't read this either, but you already know that you get much amour from me<3 You're one of my best friends and we never have a single dull moment~ Yay for insanity~ ^o^
Mrs. Barcyzk: I hope I get you for an English teacher next year because you're so charmingly kind~ Much love for being among the best teachers at RCHS and for caring about every single person ^_^


On a last note:
You are all flipping gorgeous, each and every one of you, and I mean that ^o^
You are all indie souls, and don't let anyone try to make you be anything but yourself~
You are all phantasmic writers, and it'd be a day worth crying for if any one of you stifled your lovely flow of words D:
I apologize if I forgot anyone, offended anyone, or was too geeky and awkward ^_^" Ehee~
Much love to you all for being such a stellar group of artists<3
Every day is a blank canvas~ Make each paint splatter count, because  each small splash can add up to a masterpiece~


Goodbye, in case I don't see any of you until next autumn,
Alayna Brooke ^_^

Oh, I just had to post this for Jessica.  The Center for Disease Control posted what to do in case of a zombie attack.  Too funny.

Farewell!

We hugged Erica goodbye today, as this was her last meeting before graduation.  She wrote a sweet poem to Lit Club, expressing how much she wished she had joined earlier.  Thanks for the sweet thoughts, Erica.  We wish you well in all that you encounter. 

We also decided that we will read the novel, Nevermore, over the summer.  This is not to be confused with the other novel that Holly rejects, Evermore

Finally, we will trade notebooks next week. Hopefully, one of you comes up with a good storyboard or screenplay that we can use to make a wicked video that mashes up two contrasting stories or figures.

Thursday Meeting!

We should have some food at our next meeting, so that we can say a proper farewell to Erica.  I will bring some punch, and make some sort of dessert.  Write below or see me to indicate what you can do.  I hope you all can come, even those of you in track!

Next Meeting

We will meet on Thursday, April 7 right after school this week to discuss I Am Number Four and share anything you've written.  The movie, I Am Number Four, is not going to work this week.  We will have to wait for it to go to MJR Allen Park.  In the meantime, I need you to let me know if there is a better day of the week to meet.  Tuesdays are no good for me, but otherwise I can work with you.

Panera Bread

We had a lovely visit at Panera, discussing I Am Number Four and other books.  I'll be adding those photos to the mixbook, and must say it was very nice chatting with everyone about literature.

Skinny Pants

Ha!
You disavow Shakespeare
This education
Your growth
My work
Then you wear pants so snug
You look like the bard himself.

For those of you who turned in permission slips, this is just a reminder.

Don't worry about getting to the halfway point in the book.  The consensus seems to be that everybody started, but didn't quite reach the middle.

New Book to Read

As a group, we are going to read the book, I Am Number Four.   Pick up a copy, and get started so we can get sharing!

Also, our mixbook is underway.  Brea has added some good poetry.  Be sure to login and add your own work and personality.  http://www.mixbook.com/

Hmmm . . .

Yesterday, we discussed a few philanthropic ideas, including a used children's book drive or fundraiser.  While perusing for ideas online, I came across this site, and thought a few of you would love it.  I am sure you'd need your parents' permission, of course.  It looked neat, though.
