Accusing my so called "Friend" Wednesday, 1-25-12
If I saw a video of my friend taking something from me, then I would be thoroughly convinced. Otherwise, if i hear from numerous sources that the person took something from me, then I would most likely be convinced. Also I would have to confront them and see if they are lying to me about stealing. If the person lies, then I guess I would need to find more trustworthy friends. If you really have to think about your friend stealing from you, then you probably shouldn't even be friends with that person in the first place.

3. Seventh graders are toilet washers.
4. Teachers are your future.
5. Unicorns are sadly nonexistent.
6. Kittens are so adorable!
A stereotype that someone cast me in was that I was evil/ planning to blowup the world, because I'm half Persian.
Stereotype: People from the middle east are all evil.
Totally ignorant and definitely not cool!

Writing the Lead Tuesday 1-17-12
1. News Lead- Summarizing the story in at most 2 senteces (who, what, where, when , why and how)
A 21 year old man named Sam Shahnazi was caught in a suspicious taxi cab robbery of some sort in Chicago Illinois. The 3 suspects' motive was unknown, but luckily Mr.Shahnazi was unhurt, and left with a riveting story to tell.
2. One fact lead- Start with the one most important or amazing fact
A man named Sam Shahnazi escaped from having a bullet from a shotgun take his life away.
3.Mysterious lead- Start with a quote or fact that doesn't make sense until you read more
When you ride a taxi and pay with another form than money, something has to be going on.
"They agreed and as they opened the sleeping bag to hand it to me, there was a shotgun sitting inside", Mr.Shahnazi explained.

Expert Quickwrite tuesday 1-10-12
I'm kind of an expert on Harry Potter. Whenever someone asks me a question, most likely I don't hesitate to answer it. Of course there are somethings that I don't know, but then again, I do have somewhat of a social life rather than just sitting at home learning every detail about Harry Potter. I have read 3 of the books, and have watched all of the movies ( even the newest ones). The movies are really adventurous and interesting, rather than a predictable mystery movie. I would definitely go see a Harry Potter movie than go see a generic chick flick movie. Yuck! I still would like to read the rest of the books, but for now I'm content with how up to date I am with it.

Girl gets Nook for Christmas
Twelve year old Sara Shahnazi was at her home for Christmas when she received the best gift she could've asked for. Her cousins came from Chicago, Illinois to spend Christmas. Her immediate family was there with her as well. Young Sara constantly asked her parents for a Nook, and all that begging paid off. The evidence was under the Christmas tree; a rectangular package wrapped in glimmering gold paper. After she tore the wrapping paper off, she was so happy that she almost wrecked other people's presents by jumping up and down. So I guess one thing is proven, good things do come in small packages.
