Meal!
Last weekend 2 of my fiends made me an amazing lunch of ham and bacon grilled cheese with hand made Caesar salad! They made the dressing and croutons and the bacon bits all from scratch! The meal tasted amazing!
Quote!
I love quotes and I feel this quote says a lot! We always blame things on society and but we are the individuals that make up society! 
(Source unknown; I believe off of a social media site)
Nightly routine!
Every night I have the same routine, it comes with having OCD! Some of these things include using and doing certain things! This is usually my routine!
The lip balms and hand cream I use before bed! !
Before I go downstairs I say goodnight to my parents and sister! Than I check all the doors at the back and the front to make sure it's all locked! And I check the thermostat to make sure the temperature is good because it can be freezing in my bedroom! When I get downstairs I turn off the lights in the basement and walk to my room! When I get to my room I light a candle! I like I light a candle before bed because it leaves a nice relaxing and soothing scent in my bedroom! Than I make my bed! Than I put some pj's on and put my hair up (I cant sleep with my hair down)! I than check my first alarm and than put lip balm on! I always put lip balm on so my lips are soft! I either use ESO lip balm or Vasaline cocoa butter lip treatment! My favourite is the Vasaline! I than make sure my sliding door is closed and than turn of the lights and head to my bed where I check twitter, Instagram and Facebook before checking my other 5 alarms! (Not exaggerating) I than put a lot of hand cream on to make my hands soft as my hands can become VERY dry sometimes! This is when I finally go to sleep :p
Halloween Story!
Here are 2 stories of halloweens I have had!
My dad was telling me that one year a little girl was trick or treating at my house and apparently she walked right into my house and sat down because she was tired! Hahah!
When I was younger my mom would usually take me out to go trick or treating and my dad and sister would handout candy at my house! My mom told me that I would get tired and not go very very far. Well one year my dad decided to take me and he made me walk sooooo far! But I do have to say, even though I was tired, I did get a lot of candy :p

Tim Hortons!
I absolutely love Tim Horton's! This picture I took describes exactly how I feel about Tim's! That Tim's is at the end of rainbow! Their Iced Capps are my absolute favourite drink! Also their Peach juice is also very good! If someone bought me Tim Hortons I would love them forever because I <3 Tim's!
Fall/Winter
I'm really excited for the holiday season and Christmas! It is such a joyful time, but I am really not looking forward to the snow and cold! I love the fall weather because the colour of the leaves are always so nice, and the air has a nice crisp feeling; not to cold or to warm! You don't need a heavy jacket but hoodies are always present! If the weather was like that all year, I would be a very happy person! I wish we could only have snow for the week before Christmas and the week after New Year's Day that would be awesome! I also wish we could have ice at outdoor rinks all year for going skating but also have warm weather at the same time :p! But that just doesn't happen so I guess I'll have to deal with the huge piles of snow and -35 air!
Flying!
The Sky!
I am obsessed with the sky at sunsets/ sunrises! The colour always show such natural beauty! It shows how much nature can portray with simple colours! The beauty always makes me think and relax for a moment, and I always take a picture!

Keeping Up With The Kardashian's
For some odd reason I am in love with the Kardashian's! I have to watch their show every week, and I get really upset if it is not on or does not record! This family is so interesting and filled with individuals that bring something special to the "Kardashian Klan" My favourite would have to be Khloe! She's my favourite because she is absolutely hilarious and she is absolutely goregous! She's not the small petite kind of girl but she works the body she has, and I would honestly die to have her curves! I have no idea what I'm going to do when the show is over!

6 Word Memoir Debrief
What did I
learn about storytelling?
With doing the 6 word memoirs I learned a number of ways how
text and language can affect your stories! One way was that I learned that you don’t
need to write a lot of text to create a story with a lot of detail! A lot of
the 6 word memoirs in both classes told stories that had so much detail, in 6
words and a picture! What I also think helped with these details, are the punctuation
and the vocabulary. The punctuation was able to set the tone as well as the
pace that readers read the sentence in their head! Also depending in the word selection
it also helped tell the stories with more detail. The picture a person chose
also helped get the message in a clearer way.
Where did I show my knowledge about using storytelling skills?
Where did I show my knowledge about using storytelling skills?
I showed my knowledge in story telling when I chose the
layout of my memoirs. This included the colour and font of my texts, the
pictures I chose, and the vocabulary I used. For my memoirs I always wanted to
set a certain mood the reader reads the text in. I would set the mood by
placing the texts in different colours. For example if I wanted to create a
happy mood as my friend memoir is in, I chose a bright colour such as yellow,
as bright colours are mostly seen as happy colours. For my pictures I decided
to mostly do pictures of the actual subject. In one of my memoirs I decided to
change the wording to both connect to the subject of my memoir as well as the
picture. This helped connect the story even better because it showed it in a
more artistic way. For most of my memoirs I decided to chose simple words that
would get my story across in a way the clear and simple, as most of my stories are
reflecting myself and I am a pretty simple person.
What did I learn as a reader, writer, thinker, and storyteller?
What did I learn as a reader, writer, thinker, and storyteller?
As a storyteller and writer I learned that you really do not
have to write huge stories to get a point across! This will help me in the
future as writing insanely long stories has always been a problem for me! I can
take this lesson to better create stories as well as make them more interesting
and will help keep my readers interested! As a reader I was able to look at my
fellow classmates work and see ways that I could improve in my creativity and
presentation! It also let me get to know some of my other classmates which is
always nice! I believe that seeing my classmates work and seeing that I have
ways to improve will help me create better works of art in my writing!
Reading Assignment tweets: The Notebook
I am reading "The Notebook" by Nicholas Sparks! For my class we have to come up with tweets but we have to pretend we are the characters. So far I have read up to page 104, and I am really enjoying the book so far!

Marksmanship
In some of my other posts I have mentioned that my passion is marksmanship! This activity is something that I have put a lot of effort and hard work in to be successful! I started doing range through the air cadet program 5 years ago! I fell in love with it instantly! Though range has made me feel very frustrated to the point where I have wanted to quit, I have always stuck to what my mom said that "to finish what I start!" So I continued to work hard, my goal was to make it on the team! After 4 years of hard work I finally made it on the team! Last year was my first year on the team and my team made it all the way to nationals in St.Catharines Ontario! This year not only am I working to be on the cadet team, but I am also participating in the Manitoba Provincial Rifle Associations competitions! I owe my whole marksmanship career to my coach Alex Mark! Without his encouragement and hard work and the fact that he truly believes in me, I wouldn't have come to the point I am at! I also owe it to my parents for believing, encouraging me and always driving me to practises and competitions! Marksmanship is something I am so passionate about! It hhas truly showed me that if you work hard to achieve something you will get it! 
Quickwrite The Ideal Human Being
To me the ideal human is someone that is average looking but who's personality is like the shinest diamond you have ever seen! This person aspires to be someone that helps others and leads the way! They wish to dheir for the hey are passionate about and not just for the money! They care about people, animals, and about they're environment! They are a hard worker who never gives up, but works until they achieve their goal! They are always their for their friends as well as their aquaintainces, not because they enjoy listening to gossip and drama, but because this person actually cares about peoples happiness! This person person loves hearing about the good things that happen totheir friends and feels the same emotions as they do! This person does not always need the newest things, but when they get something new they do not brag about it! This person does not try and make people feel bad about themselves but always tries to make people feel confident about themself just as they! This is my idea of an ideal person; this is the type of person I wish to be!
Quickwrite Robot Servant
My future robot servant would be my personal helper! As I plan on being very busy and involved with politics my robotservant would and get me the things I need and want! If I wanted asandwhich, my robot servant would go and fetch me one, if I wanted Tim Horton's, my robot servant would go and get me one! My robot servant would clean my house if I had no time to! As I plan on having kids one day, my robot servant would also assist in the needs of my children!With that my robot servant will only answer to you if you use your manners! This teaches my kids manners, in another way than just myself telling it too! Though my robot is exactly like a human, it does not look likea human as that wouldjust be creepy! Instead my robot servant looks like an old fashioned robot just with an increase in size! My robot is 5'3 inches which is pretty much my height!

The time is 8:00 pm because that is usually the time Noah is sitting on his porch relaxing! The battery is at 80% because Noah would not really use it that much so it would stay at a relatively high battery!
Thanksgiving!
Since today is thanksgiving, I thought I would do a post on the things I am thankful for! The funny thing is on this Thanksgiving weekend I was able to do parts of everything I am thankful for!

I am thankful for a number of things! I will post 10 of the things I am so thankful for counting down from 10 until number 1!
#10: Getting the opportunity to try new things: The reason I am so thankful that I get the opportunity to try new things is because if I didn't get to try new things I would never have found out about marksmanship which is an activity I am so passionate about!
#9: The Air Cadet Program: I am so thankful for The Air Cadet/ Cadet program! Even though I no longer wish to be a pilot, I am still so thankful for all the opportunities that the Air Cadet program has showed me, and all the amazing people that care and wish to see me be successful! The program is so amazing and without it I would have never been able to experience the experiences I have done!
#8: Job Opportunities: I am so thankful that where I live there are so many jobs that I am able to go and apply for! I think it is something that a lot of us take for granted but having job opportunities available is such a blessing so we can support ourselves and families!

#6: My House & Belongings: I am so thankful that my parents are able to provide me with a wonderful roof over my head, a place to sleep, and all the belongings that are inside! I am so thankful that I am able to have the small objects such as my cell phone and t.v! These items are something's a lot of people never get the opportunity to own and I am so thankful that I am able to!
#5: My Education: Even though this is something I dread doing everyday, I am so so so thankful that I have the opportunity to go to school everyday and learn! School is something that everyone that has the opportunity to do takes for granted! So many people in the world that do not have the chance to go to school wish that they could! I am so thankful that I have always had the chance to receive an education and I look forward to continuing it after high school!
#4: Living in Canada: I am so very thankful that I was born in such an amazing country! Living in our free democratic country is such a blessing, and I wouldn't trade it to live anywhere else! In Canada we are free to do so much and live the lives we want to live and some places in the world are unable to do that!
