I like people who … show their real personalities.

All it takes to make me happy is … an hour at the gym or any amount of time spent with those i love.

I wish that … it was warmer outside.

My Family

My family is a large tool chest, capable of getting basically anything done.
My dad is the crowbar, strong and getting things done fast and simple.
My mom is the industrial wrench, with internal strength, adjusting to any situation.
My sister is a monkey wrench, with two sides and only does well in certain situations.
My other sister is a chisel, shaving off extra things that aren't needed.
I am the hammer, holding things together by using my head.

Where'd You Go- Fort minor


Lyrics:
Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone.

She said "Some days I feel like #$%^,
Some days I wanna quit, and just be normal for a bit,"
I don't understand why you have to always be gone,
I get along but the trips always feel so long,
And, I find myself trying to stay by the phone,
'Cause your voice always helps me to not feel so alone,
But I feel like an idiot, workin' my day around the call,
But when I pick up I don't have much to say,
So, I want you to know it's a little #$%^&* up,
That I'm stuck here waitin', at times debatin',
Tellin' you that I've had it with you and your career,
Me and the rest of the family here singing "Where'd you go?"

I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone.
Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone,
Please come back home...

You know the place where you used to live,
Used to barbecue up burgers and ribs,
Used to have a little party every Halloween with candy by the pile,
But now, you only stop by every once and a while,
I find myself just fillin' my time,
With anything to keep the thought of you from my mind,
I'm doin' fine, I plan to keep it that way,
You can call me if you find that you have something to say,
And I'll tell you, I want you to know it's a little fucked up,
That I'm stuck here waitin', at times debatin',
Tellin' you that I've had it with you and your career,
Me and the rest of the family here singing "Where'd you go?"

I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone.
Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone,
Please come back home...

I want you to know it's a little $%^&*# up,
That I'm stuck here waitin', no longer debatin',
Tired of sittin' and hatin' and makin' these excuses,
For why you're not around, and feeling so useless,
It seems one thing has been true all along,
You don't really know what you've got 'til it's gone,
I guess I've had it with you and your career,
When you come back I won't be here and you can sing it...

Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone.
Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone,
Please come back home...
Please come back home...
Please come back home...
Please come back home...
Please come back home... 



General Idea:
I think this song is about a girl who has a husband or a boyfriend who has a job that requires him to be gone or on the road a lot and she just wants him to be home and stay home. She reminisces about all the things that they've done together in their neighborhood throughout the song.


Quote Inference:
1. "Some days I wanna quit, and just be normal for a bit" This line is showing that what the girl is saying, and she basically means she wants their relationship to be normal and for him to be home.


2. "And, I find myself trying to stay by the phone, 'Cause your voice always helps me to not feel so alone," In this line, I think she is saying that his voice comforts her and makes her feel like he is still there.


3. "But I feel like an idiot, workin' my day around the call," I think this means that she centers her whole day and everything she does on one single phonecall from him.


4. "But when I pick up I don't have much to say," This line means that even though shes been waiting all day for the call, she hasn't prepared anything to say to him, and the words don't just flow naturally.


5. "Tellin' you that I've had it with you and your career," This line supports my idea that it is his job that is keeping him away.

Name Essay

     To me, my name is worth a lot. It represents what other people think about me and how I treat other people, and includes my morals. I am not quite sure exactly what others think of me, but I have certain morals that I will not give up no matter what.
     I believe in respecting women to a high degree, for I have been raised with 5 sisters and no brothers and have been taught from an early age never to disrespect women. I believe in being kind to others. I believe that more than mildly harming ANYONE except in self defense or in defense of another is wrong. I believe in respecting authorities, in most cases. I believe in respecting parents. I believe in respecting elders.
     It makes me happy when I see acts of kindness or service being performed. Angers wells up inside of me when I see any disrespect to women, and when I see abuse to women or children I get angry almost to the point of violence. 
     Of course I can't know for sure, but I believe my friends emotionally rely on me. They trust me. I believe many members of look up to me, even those who are older, not to be prideful. They have told me this in the past.
     I am known at school as an odd and slightly tall person, who happens to be quiet. I am most definitely known to some as a nerd, which is their problem.

The Crucible Cast List

Reverend Samuel Parris: Anthony Hopkins










I chose Anthony Hopkins for the part of Reverend Samuel Parris because he is well known as an intelligent actor. He has experience playing multiple types of roles. Since he has so much experience in all kinds of roles, I believe that he could play an intelligent and religious father as if it was completely natural.




Tituba: Zoe Saldana









I chose Zoe Saldana for the part of Tituba because she has a strong look about her. She plays a person who is persecuted and driven from her home in the movie "Avatar". Because of this reason, I believe that she would act well as a slave.






Abigail "Abby" Williams: Taylor Swift



I chose Taylor Swift for the Part of Abigail Williams because she is known for being beautiful. She also has a seductive look. I believe she could play and mischievious and conniving role.




Thomas Putnam: Orlando Bloom









I chose Orlando Bloom for the part of Thomas Putnam because he has a mysterious and secretive look and he has played serious roles in the past. I believe that with a little stage make up to make him look older, he could play a wealthy landowner. I also believe he would be good at playing a man who connives and takes pieces of others' land.



Goody Ann Putnam: Susan Sarandon







I chose Susan Sarandon for the part of Goody Ann Putnam because of her slight aged yet stern look. She  could easily play a mother who has lost most of her children. She looks like she has been through a lot in her life. She looks like someone who could be snappy.


John Proctor: Christian Bale








I chose Christian Bale for the part of John Proctor because he is muscular, as a farmer would be. He is of the correct age to be John Proctor. I believe he would also do well to play as a man trying to cover up a secret, considering the fact he plays Batman in "Batman Begins" and "The Dark Knight".






Goody Elizabeth Proctor: Jennifer Aniston









I chose Jennifer Aniston for the part of Elizabeth Proctor because I believe she could play the part of a wife well. I believe she would be good and acting as a person who holds a grudge. I also believe she would do well as someone who is grumpy towards her husband.





Mary Warren: Kristen Stewart








I chose Kristen Stewart for the part of Mary Warren because in "Twilight" she plays a girl who is soft spoken and shy. I believe that she would do well playing a girl who is soft spoken and overly outspoken with a little peer pressure. I believe she would also be good at playing a girl who wants to admit that she did something wrong.





Goody Rebecca Nurse: Betty White








I chose Betty White for the part of Rebecca Nurse because she has the look of a grandmother. She can be serious and grumpy as an actor, although in real life she has good humor. She has done some charitable things over her long acting career.







Reverend John Hale: David Hyde Pierce








I chose David Hyde Pierce for the part of John Hale because he appears serious and business like. He looks like a man of logic. He grew up as a Christian.
