Entry #2 -- School Dance

If I would be in charge of planning a school dance, I would be so excited that I would probably plan too many things and we wouldn’t be able to use all of them. I would try to plan the dance at the Chateau in Bloomington. I would book one of the halls in there. This hotel/ conference center looks like a castle and as you drive by it, you first think that some rich and famous person must have build that, but no. It was build to be a hotel. On Sunday mornings, they have a brunch that you can go to. It is so yummy! Musically, I would ask the DJ that we used for the homecoming dance to come be the DJ for this dance. He is very good at getting different songs from every genre of music. The Theme I would use would bring back the child in you: Disney! We all grew up with Disney movies coming out. The Little Mermaid was my favorite. Throughout the whole hall, I would get together posters of all of the movies that Disney ever made and put them up along the wall. The room would be filled with balloons and streamers. We would have cardboard-life sizes of all the main Disney characters. For our chaperones, I would like them to be Mrs. Cross and Mr. Hurley. They are the youngest teachers and they know how to have fun and follow the rules at the same time. Mr. Hurley could be the muscles for an unpleasantness. Mrs. Cross would make all announcements and would be the mom of the dance. I would have the chefs make tons and tons of pizza for everyone to eat. The Chocolate fountain would be huge and filled with chocolate. There would also be one for white chocolate. Hot wings and chicken wings would also be on the menu.

Entry #1 : Welcome to My Blog

Hello! :) This is Ashley Litwiller. I am 14 years old. I’m a freshman in high school and I am writing this blog for my English 1 – writing class during 2nd semester. I will be keeping this throughout this semester.

I am around 5’10” tall. I don’t wear glasses or contacts. I have red hair that has blonde highlights, you can only see them some of the time because they are very small. It is naturally curly, but sometimes, when I have time, I straighten it. I don’t really have a favorite t-shirt, but I really don’t like to wear Hollister shirts all that much. My style is very simple. I’m most comfortable in sweats and a tank top or t-shirt. I love jeans and sweatshirts also. I have American Eagle shirts and a few from Hollister but I don’t like to wear them that much because they are uncomfortable.

Most of the time, I am in a great mood. It is very unusual for me to be in such a bad mood that I can’t go along with my life. I get distracted very easily. I am a pretty good student. All my binders have to be organized or else it bugs me. My attitude towards others is that I like them until they do something that isn’t, what I think of as, right. I babysit a lot and little kids love me, so it’s easy for me to make them behave. Grandparents get on my nerves because they don’t know what’s going on and I hate to have to explain things to them. I have a great life though, so I’m not complaining about any of it.

There are three things in my life that I could not do without. My faith is the most important thing in my life right now because that’s what helps me get through my busy schedule. I love sports. In middle school, I played basketball, volleyball, track & field, and softball. In high school, so far, I have played volleyball and it is basketball season so I am in that right now. Music is the other thing in my life that is very important to me. When I have a headache, I have to play music to make it go away. I have no idea why that is but it is. When I’m having a bad day, or I just feel like walking around my house singing, I get my iPod out and just listen to it.
