The Seeker

Before all that happened, we were somehow transported into a place people called "The Vast". Everyone who died there was always found in the Crusher by the Seekers. The Seekers tried to find a way to stop the Crusher. But we never could. Year after year. A Seeker would go missing. 200 out of the 269 went missing. Each year, a new person would appear in the thing that carried us up here. The 2 seekers we had were Thomberg and Benik. They said that they would die soon and that I would be the next Seeker. But I didn't want to.

Crusher

We were the last people to ever live. We just didn't know. That's why we escaped the Crusher. The place we were held in captivity was better than the world outside. We thought the world was still the same. There were barely any buildings and the rest were abandoned, and only water covered the Earth. Global Warming had taken its place.  The history of the Crusher is very limited.  All I knew was that the Crusher had an imprint of C.R.A.Z.Y (aka. Crazed Research Assistance Zone Yeuk). But all that changed.

The Signal

Tomorrow I'm going to watch The Signal. "The Sundance Film Festival official selection centers on Nick and his buddy Jonah (No One Live’s Beau Knapp). They’re both MIT freshman and have a knack for hacking, so are instantly enamored when someone going by the name Nomad breaches the school’s security system.

When Nomad makes contact while the duo is in the middle of a cross-country road trip, they just can’t help it, despite protests from Nick’s girlfriend Hailey (Bates Motel’s Olivia Cooke), they just have to follow his clues and possibly meet him face-to-face once and for all. Nick isn’t agitated at that point, but he certainly will be because after colliding with Nomad head-on, Nick, Jonah and Hailey all awake to find themselves in captivity. Clueless and hurting, they’re alive, but absolutely helpless, and what’s more agitating than that?"

bday

Today was my birthday. So I brought in sushi for a treat. Nothing else happened. Except for me looking at these links:

Birthday

Birthdays are awesome. Well unless you were guilty of many crimes. Wait. I'm getting ahead of myself. I'll explain my Sunday. Say you had a cousin named Limo. Say Limo kicked you in the head a couple of times. Say you told him not to do it again. Say he starts crying for some reason. When your aunt comes outside and asks Limo what happened, he says he had a "pee accident." He goes inside and starts playing with a Batman balloon. Also, say you had a cousin whose name was, I don't know, Shwill. Say Shwill shot you with a jubee ball pretty hard. You wanted revenge, so you hide. Shwill goes upstairs about to shoot you again. You go up the other way around. And Shwill comes out of your room. And you shoot the ball. And it accidentally hits him in the eye. Really hard. All of this really happened, and Limo's name is actually Timo, and Shwill's name is actually Will. Yeah, at my birthday, things were out of control. And my birthday is on Monday.

Sushi

It's the seafood we all love. The modern version started in Japan and moved on all the way to America. Many restaurants that serve the food are high in rankings. There's so many foods that this could be. I mean, there's ramen, udon, takoyaki, miso soup, and so much more. And sure enough, each of these foods are all delicious. Ramen's in every single grocery store, udon and takoyaki (although a little hard to find) are just plain awesome, and miso soup is in almost every single hibachi grill. But the one thing I'm talking about is not any of those foods. I'm talking about sushi.

Sushi is a beloved Japanese snack that consists of usually consisting of cooked vinegared rice, seafood, vegetables, and sometimes tropical fruits. Sushi is served with wasabi and pickled ginger on the side. Lots of times sushi is also served with green tea. Sushi originated around the 8th century, in Southeast Asia. It was spread to spread to south China before introduced to Japan. Sushi was made for means of preserving fish in fermented rice.  

The Japanese people liked to eat the fish with the rice. This was called namanare or namamari, meaning semi-fermented. During the Muromachi period namanre was the most popular type of sushi. Namanare was partly raw fish wrapped in rice, consumed fresh, before it changed flavor. This new way of consuming fish was no longer a form of preservation but a new dish in Japanese cuisine.

During the Edo period, a third type of sushi was introduced, known as haya-zushi, meaning fast sushi. Haya-zushi was made so that both rice and fish could be consumed at the same time, and the dish became unique to Japanese culture. Rice was now instead mixed with vinegar, with fish, vegetables and dried food stuff added. This type of sushi is still very popular today. Each region utilizes local flavors to produce a variety of sushi that has been passed down for many generations.

When Tokyo was still known as Edo in the 19th century, mobile food stalls run by street vendors became popular. During this period nigiri sushi was introduced, consisting of an oblong mound of rice with a slice of fish draped over it.  After the Great Kanto earthquake in 1923, nigiri sushi chefs were displaced from Edo throughout Japan, popularizing the dish throughout the country.

Today the sushi dish internationally called "sushi" is a fast food invented by Hanaya Yohei (1799-1858) in today's Tokyo (Edo).  People in Tokyo were living in haste even a hundred years ago. The nigiri zushi invented by Hanaya was not fermented and could be eaten using the fingers or chopsticks. It was an early form of fast food that could be eaten in public or in the theater. Sushi is one of the greatest Japanese foods. And it will always be that way.

betterness

Okay, yeah, it's better. But still, it just looks weird. And I still don't like peelers. Well, not for now, of course. At least you didn't see what it looked like when I took off the bandage. It was like I had black veins that were popping out of my skin and bleeding. I managed to get most of the dried blood (ketchup) off. At least it's better. It needs a name. I'll call it betterness. Yes, that sounds great. I think I took off a CHUNK off my skin. I'm looking forward to this being all gone. I miss my good ol' skin. Ah, good days. *ahem* Anyways, yeah. I wish my cut would go like POOF and it would be all gone. What did I do wrong to deserve this (a lot of things, actually)?

when you get a cut

just put that with this

and you get a bad cut

Okay, lets face it, cuts SUCK. Today I was peeling an apple when the peeler hit me on my finger. It was bleeding way too long. A couple times I almost fainted. See, this is why I don't like finger pricks. Maybe finger pricks hurt more, I dunno. I then got a scab growing over my bandage. Oh yeah, and then you get a scar that won't go away. I think I took a trip to the blood donor today. 

Peelers for 19.95! Get a free offer of cuts with that!

That's what peeler ads should be like. I don't like sharp stuff anymore. Plus, I have a party to go to on the 19th at AirTime. I don't think I'll have any fun.  I wish we could never get cuts. If only there were some invention that would make us never have any cuts again. Hey, maybe someone could make it. Just make sure it's soon, because my hopes are running out of time. Even as you're reading this.

Crackle

I step on shattered glass. It's everywhere. Right before my eyes I can see buildings all damaged. I was lucky to have my Canon and I shot a picture.

I was scared. I had nothing to eat or drink. 

"Hello? Hello?"

Still no answer. Why was I the only person who survived this? Why not someone else? I won't be counting anything anymore because the world's gone. I have no one to talk to. It's quiet. Sooner or later I'm gonna go crazy. You know the quietest room in the world? That's what I feel like I'm in right now. I take a step forward, and then hear a crack. I back away quickly.

Days

Somedays I count the days. Sometimes the weeks. Almost all the time I count how many more days I have of school until Summer. Sometimes I don't want to count anything since I'm having fun. I'm too caught up with this whole numbers so I don't hear many people screaming.
"Run!"
An explosion shatters my thoughts and I turn around quickly.
"Holy s***." I say.
I turn around, running like crazy. Then I trip on a backpack.
"Oof!"
I try to get up quickly, but an explosion sends me careening over the sky. Memories flash back to me as when I was a baby. My mom was such a nice person. I remembered all the fun times we had together. I started crying. I was close to hitting the ground, bracing for impact. But it never happened. I fell into a ditch filled with water. I got out. No one was around.
"Hello?" I ask.
No answer.

Wonder

Wonder Essay

By Spike Glyphs

Have you ever gotten a lesion, a laceration, or some sort of injury (minor cut) that everybody can't help looking at and they all ask, "What the heck happened to you?"(sassy girl)

After a few time-consuming days(days eating time) (or even worse, weeks), the injury goes away. No one asks you anymore about your cut. No one could have people looking at them like that every single day (evil eye) forever, right? Well, after reading the story Wonder by R.J. Palacio, I was proven wrong. If you were the kid in that book, you wouldn't feel good going to a school (puke) for the first time. I think the idea of Wonder is that no boy should be judged by their face or how they look.

Wonder is about a boy named August "Auggie" Pullman.(the season August) He was born with craniofacial syndrome. "Craniofacial syndrome refers to an abnormality of the face and/or the head. Craniofacial differences can result from abnormal growth patterns of the face or skull, which involves soft tissue and bones."* This makes his face deformed.(deformed face) Early in the story, August had to be homeschooled because he didn't want kids to make fun of him, stare at him, or scream and run away from him (horror movie). “But I know ordinary kids don’t make other kids scream and run away from them on the playground.”

Later in the story, August's mom suggests August to go to school at one of his only friend’s birthday party. August refuses (angry face). Sooner or later after taking the tour of the school August's mom and dad sneakily (burglar) signed up for (AKA Beecher Prep.), (the beach) August wants to go to school. A kid named Julian teased him a lot during the tour, but he met a kid named Jack Will and thought he was funny and nice (awesome guy). His mom thinks he's joking, but August isn't. 

At Beecher Prep, life isn't easy. If it means you're getting bullied, run away from, stared at, and gossiped about how ugly you are, you know you're having a bad time (south park meme). Just like August. Julian bullies August daily. August soon figures out that Jack Will’s name is actually Jack(light bulb). Jack is August's only friend. Sooner or later, August meets a new friend named Summer. They make up a club called the Summer club. “No Winter people allowed!” Summer says. “Except for Jack.” August adds. They start sitting next to each other every day. August has a devastating break-up (girl breaking up with man) with Jack when Jack says that he would kill himself if he were August.(suicide) I think that Jack just wanted Julian to be his friend and August’s friend. Soon after, Julian teases Jack about being partners which results in punching Julian and knocking out a baby tooth. August and Jack get their friendship back after a series of text messages and apology letters. Jack says that he would kill himself if he was Julian.(suicide,again)

By the end, August stands up for himself.  When a kid named Eddie tries to hurt August and break his hearing aids, he runs.(run like the wind!) Later, he loses his hearing aids. Someone claims that maybe Eddie took it home as a souvenir(disney world). In Eddie's locker, August finds his battered (batter up) hearing aids. August insists not to get him in trouble. Soon after, he gets really popular and everyone in the school knows about him (popular boys). After that, he gets an award (olympic medal) for putting up with all of the bullying and beating. After all, he does have to go through middle school. And high school. And collage. And put up with all of that over and over again. It’s like the cycle of life, but instead the cycle of bullying.(cycle of everybody messing each other up)

The Day The World Turned Upside Down

"Oh my god!!" I screamed. We were pulled upwards towards the ceiling. Objects were breaking once hitting the ceiling. The ceiling started cracking, and we fell up to the next room. The floor has already been broken. We scream for life. We got closer to the sky. I told my friends that I had an idea. We could hang on a jet. It worked, but some people couldn't hold on and fall off. Another person got sucked into the propeller. We were never going to make it. We were dying one by one.

Wonder (if you don't like spoilers don't read this! duh.)

Have you ever gotten a cut or some sort of injury and when you go to school everyone stares at you and ask, "What happened to you?"
Well, usually after a few days or weeks, the injury is fully healed, and it's over. No one stares at you. But a kid named August, however, was stared at every single day.

August

He has craniofacial syndrome, which makes his face severely deformed. He goes through this all the time. He was home schooled because of his face. "I know ordinary kids don't make other kids scream and run away from you on the playground."
How would you imagine yourself as a kid with no friends, just because of your face. In this book, he had to overcome many challenges, starting with kids just looking at his face and getting bullied.

Via

She's August's sister. She doesn't have any type of problem or anything like August. She tries to protect August from anyone. August refers to her "a little too crazy", though.There's a point where she doesn't want him coming to a play she's doing at her school because she doesn't want her friends to see him and make fun of him. 

Jack

Jack is August's only friend (besides Summer)during most of the book. Jack is very nice to August and is sort of like Via but not crazy. In one point of the book, Jack says that he would kill himself if he was August, which made August very mad. Sooner or later, August finds out that Jack was lying and they became friends again.

Julian and His Crew

These are the people that try to act cool with their "cool" friends. Also known as jerks. Sure enough, August gets bullied with Jack. A lot of his crew show up and help August. Julian then has almost no friends. His crew is gone. He gets pretty mad. And if you read The Julian Chapter, you'll get it. 

August gets an award for character at the end of the book because he went through all that trouble and stayed strong. But there's still 6th grade. And the rest of middle school. And high school. And collage. And he's gonna have to go through all of it again.  

Falling

I watch as the ground below me collapses. I don't move. I'm already dead. I watch as millions of innocent souls fall to their death, always ending in a harsh landing. A rock hits me. I fall unconscious.
I wake up, wondering if I'm in Heaven. I'm not. Everyone is gone. I search the remains of New York to find any sources of life. Nothing. Then I step in a fragile spot. The concrete cracks beneath me, giving me memories of before. I try to run, but this time, I don't make it. I slip and fall into the opening crack. I fall down, screaming like I never have before. I know that no one will save me. I look up at the clouds one last time. Tears form up in my eyes.
"I'm sorry mom. I'm sorry."
I hit the ground, sending what kept me alive flying in the air. I take one final breath, and then I'm gone. Everyone is gone. Everything is gone. The world's gone.

Everyone Is Gone By Moby

Skies

Some days, I look up towards the skies and wonder what's up there. Maybe there's Extra Terrestrial life somewhere unknown. Maybe the universe would never end. Some days I wonder what it would be like if I was a cloud. I would think of it as a peaceful life, watching over Earth, just like God looks over the universe.  I would wonder why the sky was blue. I would watch the clouds move in a very slow manner. I could find shapes that the clouds formed. But today, I was looking up at the sky wondering if Heaven was real. The world I once had was collapsing over my head,bit by bit.  Building by building. Fires became uncontrollable.  It was the end of the world. The end of us all. We were all going to die.
