A.B.+Cee

 Hey Everyone! My name is A.B. Cee and I'm really happy that we get to use this Wiki this year. I think it will help everyone get excited about writing and reading by making it more interesting than just a pencil and paper. Personally, I'm enjoying looking at everyone's pages, and I can't wait to see what we all write once things get started. To further express my excitement, please enjoy this dancing duck and dragon. ;)

H a p p y D a n c e s !

So anyway, I thought I'd add a little about me. Some of my favorite quotes are:

"Weird is the new normal."-A.B. Cee

"Stubborn people don't hold their ground, they move backwards." -A.B. Cee

"Remember to count your blessings. You'll be more keen to notice when one is gone, but you'll also see more clearly all the ones that remain." -A.B. Cee

‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ "Is this real? Or has this been happening inside my head?” “Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?” -Harry Potter & Albus Dumbledore‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍, __Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows__

"I just want to spend every possible minute of the rest of my life with you." -Peeta Mellark, __Catching Fire__

"If you believed that thoughts were energy and energy is matter ( E=mc2 ) and matter never disappears, then a person can never truly leave you unless you stop thinking about them." -Campbell Cooper, __The Probability of Miracles__

"Normal is just a setting on your dryer." -Patsy Clairmont

"Duct tape is like The Force: it has a light side and a dark side and it holds the universe together." -Anonymous

"Push wil get a person anywhere-except through a door marked 'pull'". -Anonymous

"The only time success comes before work is in the dictionary." -Anonymous

And these are a few little things that I wrote. I'll add more as I, you know, write them.

This one is a tanka about books. I love to read!

tattered hardcover: an entire world within the pages hold all, just open them to find it: the wonderful land of books

This one is a little rhyme about having dreams:

You can dream big, or you can dream small. The important thing is that you're dreaming at all.

These next few paragraph-type-things are related to each other. They're all little thoughts that came to me while climbing a tree, aka the Wisdom Tree.

Wisdom Tree

I was sitting in my tree, and I saw a little section of leaves that had turned red when all the others were still green. And I thought, maybe it’s good to be different, to be those couple leaves who decide not to stay green and change. Because they are the trend setters, and pretty soon all the other leaves catch on. //What’s left is a rainbow of colors, instead of just green.//

*

I was sitting in my tree, and it occurred to me that I always sat in same spot, at the lowest branches. So I decided to climb a little higher. As my head reached a clearing in the branches, I saw the moon, bright and shining in a darkening sky. If you were on the ground, you might not have thought I was very high, but if you asked me, //I was on the moon.//

*

I was sitting in my tree, listening to my iPod. I was getting kind of bored of my music, so I turned it off. The nighttime symphony of insects and owls was just kicking in. //And I discovered that there was much more to be heard in the silence.//

I wrote this poem back in seventh grade. I was inspired by that writing prompt Mrs. Kowalczuk gave us, which was something like, "Where do you see yourself in five years?" It was a big eye-opener when I realized that we would be graduating high school then.

<span style="color: #808080; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">It’s a pretty scary thought <span style="color: #808080; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">that a few short years from now <span style="color: #808080; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">we’ll be out in that big world <span style="color: #808080; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">it makes you wonder, how?

<span style="color: #808080; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">How did we get here? <span style="color: #808080; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">Why does time seem to fly? <span style="color: #808080; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">It blows my mind to think <span style="color: #808080; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">of all the years that passed us by,

<span style="color: #808080; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">I sometimes wish things would slow down <span style="color: #808080; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">and take a sluggish pace, <span style="color: #808080; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">You need to stop and smell the roses, <span style="color: #808080; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">Life doesn’t need to be a race,

<span style="color: #404040; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">This is a random poem that I wrote really quickly, so it's probably not the best, but I needed to get my thoughts out somehow. I think a lot of us can relate to this.

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">__Words__

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">We’ve all heard those conversations, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">That will appear in endless locations: <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">In school and out, under fluorescent light, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">Or whispered at home in the dead of night. <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">Words that are spoken to friends and to strangers; <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">Words that are meant to stay between the exchangers. <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">“He’s too nerdy, she’s fat, he’s dumb, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">She would go out with anyone, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">Her hair is gross, she looks like a fool, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">He must think that he’s so cool.” <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">Their words are hateful against someone not present. <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">They target their flaws without their consent. <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">Even if the speakers know it’s not right, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">They constantly defame friend and foe alike. <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">As soon as a person is not in the room <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">Their evil words will condemn them to doom. <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">So you sit and listen, even join in too, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">But can’t help but wonder what they say about you…
