Harold Crick the main character is the protagonist in "Stranger than fiction". He hears the author of the book in his head an he thinks he is going crazy. But he finds out that he is going to die in the end which makes him try to find the author Karen. But he doesn't die. Karen the author is the antagonist. She is a famous author, she has been working on a book for 10 years. She types something and Harold hears it in his head and that is exactly what happens to him. She finds out that he is a real person when he calls her. She changed the ending of the book to save his life, because she couldn't go on knowing that she has killed him and probably other characters in her other books.

My fish had babies! I have 2 fish that i picked out at my boyfriends house. They are swordtail fish. They look very similar to goldfish, but the males have a long pointy tail like a sword, hence the name swordtail. They were in the 20 gallon tank my boyfriend has his fish in, and my 2 swordtail's. one day we noticed that they girl looked pregnant and we researched it and ask the pet store guy, Charlie, and he said yes she is pregnant. So we got a breeding box which is like a clear plastic box that goes in the water where you put the pregnant fish in so when she has her babies she or the other fish can eat the newborns. So we put the breeding box in and it was so sad because the male and the female used to follow each other around and play and now it was like they were being teased, because they could see each other but they couldn't play. So anyway one night she had they babies and the next morning we took the mom out and the 30 plus babies were so little and cute. We need to wait about 4 weeks until they are fully grown to let them swim with the bigger fish. I don't know what to do with them all, we are going to keep some of them but...DOES ANYONE WANT SWORDTAIL FISH?.. they are pretty interesting, when they are happy their stomachs turn red and they are fun to watch.

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. I love it not only for the candy but for the scare. I have a haunted house every halloween at my house and we let trick or treaters walk threw and hopefully give them a scare. We decorate the first floor with haunted things and we lead the kids threw the house and we go all out for Halloween. it is so much fun. We have a DJ and he gets the lightning right and the perfect sound for us. We have smoke machines and strobe lights that give it that great effect. If you want you can stop by and see how it goes. i mean its not really there to scare older kids its just cool to see. What i love the most is that the Friday after Halloween we have a party and people dress up and do a lil' drinking, mucho fun!

Well i don't want to write about my retarded math class. but i would like to talk about my recently turned 17 year old sister and her boot camp boyfriend... My sisters name is Audrey and her boyfriends name is Richie. I love them both to death... but he has been at boot camp for the marines in South Carolina for the last 3 months and he is coming home on the 19th which is also their 2 year anniversary, which is very nice.but there is just one problem they want to get married at such a young age. our parents don't really agree with it. I don't think they should right now i mean my sister has just become a senior in high school. Well what do you think about such a young couple destined to be married in such a short amount of time....?

The lies that stuck out to me the most were ignoring the plain facts, deflecting, cliche, and white lie. I found the ignoring the facts one to be something i tend to do when i don't feel like dealing with my parents like i only say the good things about my friends so they think that they are good kids but when they are normal teenagers. Deflecting i found was also something i tend to do also, it is very easy to do and she said that all good liars know that to keep the truth hidden to deflect from it. Cliche and stereotypes i don't do that so much but i understand it and it stuck out to me. The classic White Lie i have so many of them, it saves you from things you don't want to do without hurting anyones feelings, i believe that everyone lies that there is no way around it. Even as a child they lie and you cant help it, whether to get out of trouble, or to make someone feel good, when they look bad. I don't think i could not lie for a week, i don't really know when i lie, i don't know how to explain it, o well .

When i was younger i remember i stole a little piece of bazooka gum from the store. When my mom and I got home she asked me where i got it from and i lied to her. Of course moms know everything she made me go and bring the piece of gum back and apologize for taking it. But i have learned all the little fibs, and white lies, aren't going to get you anywhere. I feel it is absolutely necessary to not lie to people and tell the truth, i mean its ok to exaggerate in a story you are telling. I feel that lying can put you in an awkward position later when it comes back to you and everyone finds out its a lie. So all in all don't lie and tell the truth always, it is worth it, even those little white lies, can get you in trouble.

Alpha girls, its so funny because in movies its like, i want to be just like them, and people like little 'geeky' girls try to dress up like them and wear make up but they only do it in the privacy of their own room. This story reminded me of so many movies like, Mean Girls, 13 going on 30, Jawbreaker, Never Been Kissed and Carrie. In those following movies all had that 'Alpha',or 'Popular' group of girls. Its kind of sad that people want to be like them, they are mean, wear to much makeup for their age, its ridiculous.
