Briggsy Awards...?

Most interesting part of the class goes to the time when we first started, and I realized that I will actually enjoy this stuff.
Most Boring/Useless part of this class were a few of the stories we read.
Hardest I laughed in this class was probably when Timothy Treadwell was cussing out Ghost the fox.
The thing that I learned that will be most useful in the real world is to read and write about things you actually enjoy.
Best thing about Brigs as a teacher is the fact that we are constantly laughing.
Things Brigs could do to make the class better would be to break the chatty boys up. ha.
Favorite Quotes:
"Woman, go cook me a sweater!"- Brigs on talking about how women were treated unfairly.

names

Latinate feminine form of JULIUS. This name was borne by a few early saints and martyrs and was also used by Shakespeare in his comedy 'The Two Gentlemen of Verona'.
My parents named me Julia because my mom had always loved it and she had met a women who was really talented and my mom respected her. So she stole her name. ha.
If I wouldve been a boy, my parents wouldve named me Payton Andrew or Luke. Other names that my parents were thinking about naming me were Sarah, Leah, Audrie, and Jane. I like my name becasue I rarely meet someone else with that same name. I like the name Audrie, but I'm sure that if my parents had named me that, I would've wanted them to name me Julia so who knows. I have no idea what other names relate to me.

arranged marriage

oh god.
if my parents arranged a marriage for me it would be pretty lame. they would probably set me up with some perfect little church boy who was super sensitive or something. my mom and i sometimes see eye to eye on who is cute or not, so she might be able to pick someone out alright. but i still would rather not have my dad pick a guy out. that would be kind of awkward. my dad works with a guy who's religion requires parents to choose a girls husband. he said that shes not allowed to date, but she is allowed to say yes or no to whomever her dad picks out. i guess shes already said no to like 4 guys. thats so lame that they dont even get to date. you just meet a guy and talk to him and then decide if you want to spend the rest of your life with him. thaaat would suck.

dumb laws

-Elephants may not be used to plow cotton fields in North Carolina.Yeah because you know we all have elephants....
-No one may bite of another's leg in Rhode Island. Alright why dont they just ban canabalism. Thats disturbing but it made me laugh alot.
-The penalty for jumping off a building is death in New York. ahhahah alright then. Seeing as you wont be dead already.
-It is illegal to annoy passersby on sidewalks with a revolving water sprinkler in Montana. Oh gosh now i want to go to montana and annoy people with a sprinkler.
-One may not mutilate a rock in a state park in Colorado. Awh those poor rocks.
Wow im coming to this website when im bored. These are pretty interesting....

moo-lah.

If I had 5 million dollars I would put like.....4 million in the bank. That way it would multiply to even more money. I would help my parents pay off all the bills first of all so that would be out of the way. Then I would go out and buy a carrrr. Then I would take a big bunch of friends on a road trip to anywhere that we wanted to go and stay there for like 2 weeks. We would have a bunch of money to buy whatever we wanted of course. Then when we got back home, I would give money to cancer centers and stuff like that just so i wouldve done something good with the money. Theen I would probably do more spending and buy alot of crap that i may or may not need. I would give money to people i know that may be in debt or have a bunch of bills to pay. I dont think i would want to buy a house or anything because hey, im only 16, so I would save my money to get an awesome apartment in Chicago or New York some day.

frontieeer.

I think I'm just going to be original and say that I would want to go to New York. The biggest city I've ever been in is Chicago, and sure, its a big city. But New York is huuuge. I love all of the lights at night and the tall buildings. I dont know how I would make money. I would probably try to find a place where I could get a good job (and not get shot.) Then my goal would be to save up enough money to get a penthouse apartment. I've always wanted an old apartment that mightve been a warehouse before or something. With wood floors and brick walls. I would try to meet new people and try new things. But like i sort of mentioned before, i would mainly be afraid of getting mugged or shot. Oh well, I'll just cary pepper spray or somethin.

What color am I

I think I would be purple just because it's my favorite color. Purple is the color of alot of flowers like lilac, violets, and lavender. There can be many different shades of purple like lavender, magenta, fuschia and violet. My favorite is fuschia just because it is bright and happy like me =] It can also go well with other colors, just like how I can basically be friends with anyone. But purple doesnt go good with yellow I guess, so in a way I dont get along with anyone, like people who are annoying and stuck up. But purple is pretty radd. x]

one day left.

If I found out that I only had a day to live I'd have an interesting day. When i first found out, i would probably freak out and cry alot....but then i would get over it and make the best of it. I would spend a few hours driving around blowing off money and eating alot of good food [and going as fast as my car would go down country roads because it wouldnt matter if i got in trouble or gota ticket]. I would call alot of people that I couldnt see, like my relatives and friends who live in North Carolina, Montana and Indiana. Then I would call my closest friends and hang out with them for a few hours, doing everything that seemed reckless and fun, but nothing that would kill me, because then i'd just be wastin my hours. I would write in a journal thing, and write an entry for each person in my family, then each one of my close friends and my boyfriend telling them things that i loved best about them and how they changed my life. Then I tell them to read it after im gone. Then i would spend alot of time with my mom, dad and brother, and eat my favorite food for dinner. After that, I would spend time with my boyfriend to say goodbye, and then come home and go to bed with my cat.

Time Era

If i could live in any other time in the world, i think it would be in the 1940's. I just like how everybody partyed it up back then and wasnt worried about getting things done. I love how they dressed and did their hair and stuff. Also I'm lame, and I like the old black and white movies where they wear the fedora hats and those flashy dresses. It was a time when people were respectfull, but they still werent afraid to say what they felt.

NO deal.

There are a few game-show type shows that I can actually stand, but there are a few that are just pointless. Shows like Are You Smarter than a Fifth Grader, Deal or No Deal, and Don't Forget the Lyrics have no good point. Deal or No Deal is basically just a game based on luck, its not like you use any skills during the game besides deciding wether or not to slam your fist down on a big red button. People get so emotional and freak out about opening a suitcase. Also its such a pointless show, but it still draws people in and you cant stop watching it.

If I was in control of the show, I would make it a little more interesting by making the contestants go through an obsticle course or something, and if they made it through quckly, then they could choose a case.

what animal am i?

I think I would want to be a fox, just because they are quiet and shy, but they can also get extremely hyper and run in circles and stuff. They are sometimes lazy and just roll around. But they also can be active. They just keep to themselves and other foxes and are curious. I feel like I relate to them because people think I am shy and quiet, but once you get to know me I open up and can have fun. I am loyal to my friends and I listen to what they say, I dont really like to be crazy and obnoxious, unless I am with people I am comfortable around.

Grizzly Me

If I were to travel somewhere and spend time in nature, i think i would go to Ireland. I would probably run into alot of dumb sheep along my travels. I chose Ireland because my mom has traveled there and i have ancestors who lived there. I plan on going there after i graduate. I will probably have some unpleasant rainy weather and squalls. I would probably become more connected with nature and my heritage. When i return home, i will probably respect nature more because Ireland is so green.
I know i would want to come back to the states just because i would miss people, but i would want to visit Ireland again some time soon, that's for sure.

center of the earth

If I had no knowledge of science, I would imagine that the earth was hollow. And then that everybody who died, would go to the center of the earth after they died. Because since nearly everyone is burried, they would just slip through their casket into the ground aaand come back alive. The there would be another life down there, not quite like what heaven is cracked up to be, but we turn into the age that we most enjoyed in life, and then we can do whatever we want without being injured or getting any older, unless you want to get older. There is no polution or sickness, and there arent really any rules.
So technically, the real world would only be about 300 feet of compact dirt away from the "afterlife", but if anyone ever discovered that it was there, and they tried to dig, all they would find is dirt, dirt and more dirt.♥

My Utopia♥

My Utopia would be on an island. Its not a tropical island though, it would be one with spring summer and fall. Not winter. There are frequent thunderstormsThere is a theme park with huge roller-coasters and free funnel cake.

There is a mall there as well with alot of stores that sell amazing clothes for really cheap prices. There are also resturants everywhere that have crunchy french fries. Everyone is random, fun and hyper, but not too out of wack. There are sweet cars that go super fast and there is no speed limit. Everyone is teenagers, there are no old people to slow up traffic and yell at us whipper-snappers.

There is a giant movie theater that shows new movies as well as amazing movies that never get old. The screens are huge. There are also regular concerts held in my Utopia. The band that will be playing is voted for by the population. Geometry does not exist. There is no need to go to school. Everyone lives in penthouse apartments with wooden floors and brick walls.

Its just basically amazing.

:D

ohs

Olympia High School is a small school that is located in the middle of no where, surrounded by small towns, cornfeilds and cows. Practacly everybody knows everybody and its easy to make friends. Many students wear coveralls and carharts in the winter, but in the summer the dress code is not much different from other schools. A few people have thick accents, but everyone else has grown used to them by now. Talk spreads fast through our little school, so if you have a secret, its best to keep it to yourself. Otherwise, everyone will know. We have "bring your tractor to school day", so that tells you something right there. We have a reputation for being hicks and farm kids, and that is partially true, but we have every other clique, just like the average highschool.

If I could meet anyone....

I'm not sure who I would like to meet. I dont know if I'd like to meet a celeberity or not...But I guess I've always wanted to meet Orlando Bloom just because I love his movies...aand hes pretty fine. I guess hes really nice too so it would be fun to hang out and talk with him.

Things I would like to ask Orlando are:
- What is the best thing about being famous, and what is the worst?
- Is it annoying when there are fans everywhere wanting autographs?
- If you could do anything you wanted for one day what would it be?
- What is your favorite movie that you have been in?
- Do you plan on doing any new movies any time soon?
