My perfect day would be full of fun and awesomeness. It start’s off with me waking up at 9:30 to the smell of Swedish pancakes and bacon. Outside it is 76 degrees. I then take a nice warm shower and go downstairs. I eat 9 Swedish pancakes with sliced cantaloupe and strawberries. I would also have 5 pieces of perfectly cooked bacon. After breakfast, I would then take a private limo to six flags amusement park. I then get a fast pass and go on the crazy rides until 1:00 when I get lunch. My lunch would be a burger with onions, two patties, ketchup and mustard, two perfectly cut lettuce pieces that don’t slide out of the buns, and gluten free buns. After lunch I go on crazy roller coasters until 3:00 PM. I would then take my private limo to a national park and I go hiking. There would be waterfalls, rock formations, and natural pools. At the end of my hike at 6:00, I take my private limo to my house where a personal chef is waiting. I would eat my great grandma’s spaghetti recipe with somewhat spicy sausage. I would also eat a salad with butter lettuce, carrots, sweet peppers, balsamic vinaigrette, and grapes. After dinner I then go to the movie theater and watch Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith. After the movie, I then go back home and sleep at 10:00.

25 is the best age to permanently be in. This is because you are fresh out of college and still remember the things you studied. This means that you can do you’re profession that you studied pretty well and you can build your experience. You also aren’t having the “old person pains” and are still pretty young which means that you can do more fun things like go on cruises or go skydiving or even just running. My third reason is that you are full grown so you have already developed most of your muscles and have grown to you’re full potential which means that you have no growing pains.

In my opinion, Knott’s Berry Farm is better than Disneyland. Now most people believe that Disneyland is the best park. But I think they are wrong. Knott’s Berry Farm is better than Disneyland because it has better money value, similar rides, and shorter lines.

First of all, Knott’s Berry Farm has better money value. A ticket for Knott’s Berry Farm for an entire year is $130. A ticket to Disneyland for one day is $104. This shows that Knott’s Berry Farm is better because you can have fun for an entire year for just $26 more than fun for a day. The Knott’s Berry Farm Gold Pass which allows you to go to the water park Soak City for the entire summer is just $40 more than the regular pass. Disneyland doesn’t have a water park at all.

Secondly, Knott’s Berry Farm and Disneyland have very similar rides. For example, You want a kids ride? Knott’s and Soak City together have 13 of them. Disneyland and California Adventure have about 24 kids attractions. Now you might think “that’s a huge difference” but bare with me. It’s not very probable that a kid is going to get through more than 13 rides. Even if they do, they can just go on the ones they enjoyed again. However, it is true that Disneyland has more variation. Knott’s Berry Farm also has thriller rides. They have 11 total thriller and coaster rides. That gives the people who love a rush of adrenaline a lot of variation. Disneyland has only 8 thriller and coaster rides. This gives adrenaline seekers a lot less options than Knott’s Berry Farm.

Finally, Knott’s Berry Farm has shorter lines. This means that you can get on more rides and have more fun. On weekdays, you can go on almost any ride instantly. No waiting, no boredom, just amusement. Even though weekends have long lines, they are almost the same length as Disneyland on a weekday which is a big difference. Also, Knott’s Berry Farm also makes sure that you aren’t bored if you are waiting in a line. They have TV’s in the lines playing music videos to keep us entertained in the not-so-entertaining lines.

As you can see, Knott’s Berry Farm is better than Disneyland. It has better value, similar rides, and shorter lines. Now get up, and go to Knott’s Berry Farm!

If I could live in any fictional universe, it would be Middle-Earth in The Lord of the Rings. This is because despite of the not-so-common wars, Middle-Earth is a pretty peaceful place in the right areas such as The Shire. The Shire is a place full of short people with curly hair and big feet. They make nice cozy cabins inside of hills and don’t see new people that often which means that they stay away from all of the potential danger. I would want to live there because all of them are friendly and kind and full of culture. Of course I would have to make a taller cabin for me to fit in, but that would be probably the only difference. So, to conclude, I would love to live in The Shire, at Middle-Earth, in The Lord of the Rings.

Over this month, I have read the book Ready Player One by Ernest Cline. It is definitely one of my top 5 favorite books I’ve read.

Ready Player One takes place in 2044 with a main character named Wade. In this fictional story, a character by the name of James Halliday created a virtual reality device called the OASIS. When he died, he started a contest in the OASIS that tests your knowledge of pop culture, puzzles, and riddles. The winner of this contest got his entire fortune and got to own the OASIS company. Wade goes through blood, sweat, and tears to put everything into trying to win the contest. I really enjoyed this book because it was full of emotion and Wade trying to find himself and who he was. It was also full of action, friendship, and references to movies and comics that I also enjoyed.

My favorite character was Wade’s friend named Shoto. Shoto lives in Japan and is a perfect mix of respectful and funny. He was always nice to everyone but very competitive at the same time. Shoto’s main character trait is definitely respectful. When Shoto met Wade’s character named Parzival in the OASIS, Shoto states, “‘Parzival-San’ he said, bowing low. ‘Shoto-San’ I returned the bow respectfully.” This proves that Shoto is respectful because even though he’d known Wade for a year, he still bowed and gave respectful gestures which means that it’s a habit and tradition for him to be respectful.

My favorite quote in the book is probably “It occurred to me that for the first time in as long as I can remember, I had absolutely no desire to log back into the OASIS.” I like this quote because for all of Wades life he had been thinking of the OASIS as his “virtual utopia” so it would be expected that he would never learn to enjoy the real world. But that quote proves that he learned that there are more things to life than screens and video games.

In conclusion, I really enjoyed Ready Player One. It is definitely one of my favorite books. Could it be yours? Try it out!

If I were to choose my favorite meal, it would have to be shepherd’s pie. For starters, my side dish would be a nice salad with balsamic dressing, carrots, cucumbers, and peppers. The drink would be a cold, icy Shirley Temple. The main course would be a shepherd’s pie. Lots of warm bacon, creamy mashed potatoes, delicious cooked peas, fresh onions, salty garlic butter, and tender beef. For a desert, I would have peach cobbler. It would have lots of cinnamon, nuts, granola, and peach. And finally, to finish it all, I would have some cold, ice water.

If I were to design my own house I would have it be a log cabin on the edge of a forest. This log cabin would be two stories high, roadside, and an arched roof. It would have a loft with a rope ladder going up to it. On the left there would be my bedroom with a soft comfy bed, a bathroom, and a PC computer system. On the right side of the loft there would be a game room with red carpet, posters on the wall, and arcade games such as PAC-MAN or Galaga as well as games like pool and foosball. I would also put in a speaker system in the corner to play my music. Beneath the loft is my living room with couches chairs a TV and a giant window going out to the view of a clearing. This is where I want to put my chickens in a red coop and a pasture 20 feet by 20 feet. Behind the living room is a kitchen with all of the gadgets like ovens, mixers, cabinets, a pizza maker, and a dishwasher. To the left of my kitchen is the laundry room with a bathroom attached to it. In the middle of the laundry room and the kitchen is the door that is made of red wood. In my backyard is a large shed full of workout equipment such as a pull up bar and barbells. Also in the backyard is a pool surrounded by rocks. Carved into the rocks is a slide and some stairs up to a tall place to jump off into the water. This is my dream house.

If I was able to travel anywhere in the world, it would be The Bahamas. First of all, The Bahamas have a lot of fun water activities. Such as water parks, boat rides, or boogie boarding. Secondly, it is made of islands. This means that I could have beach access whenever I want. Also, it means that there are really good sunsets. Finally, The Bahamas have really good resorts and hotels. This means that I would have a great place to stay. The hotels are so good because they get loads of tourists. As you can see, I would love to visit The Bahamas. Wether it’s swimming with sharks, or going on water slides, visiting The Bahamas would be the most fun thing I’ve done.

Hi, my name is JJ. Welcome to my blog. Allow me to introduce myself. I am twelve years old and a seventh grader. I love dogs, family, and video games. Some of the things I like to do are hang out with my friends, cook or bake something, or play with my brother. I really enjoy watching football. Every year I play fantasy football with my family and it always gets intense. Every morning I wake up and take a shower. After that, I play some music and I figure out what I want to eat for breakfast. Most of the time I go with breakfast sausages and some eggs. The eggs are from my chickens that my family raises. After I eat breakfast, I grab my school iPad and bike to school. At school, my favorite subject is computer apps since I can be creative and code whatever I want. I have 3 dogs named Cody, Cassel, and Darius. I also have some fish in a 100 gallon tank. I hope that you will enjoy my blog next Wednesday!
