What I want most in the world
What I really want most in the world is really simple yet impossible for most people. Some people have this ability and when they do they usually don't like it. I want to be able to eat everything and anything without getting fat. I have the metabolism of a dead elephant. It's unfortunate really. Some people (mostly guys) can an entire pizza and not gain a single ounce. For those of you who can do that here is a message: I hate you. Most guys who can do this are always complaining about how they can't put on weight. Oh you poor thing.
Could this be classified as a super power? If so, why isn't Marvel making a super hero out of it? Or they could make it into a villain. Someone who shows up to parties, inhales all the food, and leaves. But seriously if there was a pill or injection I could take to obtain this power I'd so do it. NASA should do it. I'd be their guinea pig. I volunteer as tribute hook me up NASA. I'd pay a lot of money to get that injection if I had a lot of money. Do you understand how happy i'd be? I'd have DQ blizzards for breakfast lunch and dinner. I'd be walking around like what is this thing you call salad? What is healthy?

Song
For this blog assignment I chose the song Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. Yes I know it's very professional. This childhood classic does in fact have an author who's name is Jane Taylor. Through research I have found that the well know song of our childhood is actually a lot longer than what we know it. But i'm going to do the version that we all know.
Twinkle twinkle little star
how I wonder what you are
up above the world so high
like a diamond in the sky
twinkle twinkle little star
how I wonder what you are
I noticed that each line has 7 syllables. The pattern is stressed and unstressed which is trochee. This makes it a trochaic septameter. I also noticed that the last and first word of each line compliment each other. In the first line it ends with "star" and the first word of the second line starts with how. Star is kinda stressed and how isn't. This contributes to keeping up with the trocaic septameter. The song is very soothing. It doesn't have any sharp sounds in it. All the sounds are soft and calm. This contributes to the song being a lullaby. It has the same tune as the Alphabet song and Baba blacksheep.

Reading response
Last week I read for about 30 minutes of Wake. It's really good so far. The book was boring at first, but now it's picking up a lot more. Things are actually happening now! Yay! I feel like she spent to much time on the whole suspense part because I was getting really bored. I'm glad I kept reading the book though. That's one of the things i'm bad at when it comes to reading. I get bored if there isn't a lot of things going on, and I read really slow. It's a big problem. The length of time it takes for me to read is abnormal. I also reread Split in preparation for the book discussion on Thursday. I noticed things that I didn't before. It's not a real big thinking book like Nervous Conditions so the things I noticed weren't that important. Maybe I didn't notice something new, but I just forgot it and than noticed it. I don't know. I also read a bunch of magazines at the beach if that counts for anything.
Reading times
30 minutes- Wake
3-4 hours- Split
1-3 hours- magazines
