Month: October 2023

If I could be anyone or anything in the world for one day, I would be a silkie rooster.

A Silkie Bantam is a fluffy breed of chicken that originated from Southeast Asia (in places like Japan, China, and India.)

I would want to be a chicken (and especially a rooster) because I could roam around in the grass protecting my flock by dropkicking enemies with my sharp talons. Another reason why I would want to be a chicken is so I could see baby chicks grow up. I could also eat grains for the whole day and have no consequences for it.

Being a Silkie chicken means I can have more warmth than other chickens and have better grip because I would have 5 toes. Being a Silkie is also good because I would look cool too with blue earlobes, gray skin, fluffy feathers, fluffy legs, and a sick hairstyle! I would also be more used to the ground because of a lack of flight.

Lastly, I would say goodnight to the hens, and wake up to go back to my 7th grade Californian life.

My perfect day would be on a Friday. I would go to sleep at 12:30 am, and wake up at 6:55. At 7:05 am, I would spring out of bed, go straight to the shower and shower for 20 minutes. After, I would wear one of my many chicken shirts, and then go downstairs. When I go downstairs, I would play video games until I was ready for school. During. P.E. We would have free play, and I would play freeze tag with my friends. After P.E. I would go to my elective class and finish all work I had so I could solve math problems for fun. Then, I would go to my core class for 3rd period, and read a good book, preferably a dystopian one. In core I would be able to talk to my friends during free time. The recess bell would ring and I would go to the bench I usually go to to talk with my friends. After recess I would go back to core class, and be the first person there. When core class is finished, my next class would be science and I would learn something cool and interesting. Then I would go to lunch and go to the club I go to on Fridays, and eat pasta and soy beans. When lunch ends, I would go to art and make some doodles on my papers. Art would end and I would go to math class, where I would learn a new subject and different equations to experiment with. After math ends, I would go home and feed my chickens. My sister would not annoy me, and I would play video games, go outside to check on my chickens, and repeat until dinner time, where I would eat a baked potato with steak and asparagus. Then, I would play video games a bit longer, read, and go to bed.

This whole cycle happens almost every day and I would not want to change anything about it (except my little sister because she annoys me tooooo much and never touches grass)!

If I could stay at any specific age for eternity, I would stay at age thirteen. One reason I would stay at this age is so that I could play video games as much as I want without having to pay taxes or get a job. Another reason I would stay this age is because I would have an able body and would be fit enough to run, fight, climb, and do other athletic activities. If I was thirteen, I would be able to make money with lemonade and barbecue stands. I could be at the age to buy things, like food, movie tickets, water, and most importantly… Chickens! With chickens, I could make multiple flocks with strong roosters to create the ultimate army of cocks to protect my house. My home will be made from wood and dried grass stuck together to make a small barn-looking home. With these necessities I would try to be the best at every video game to exist.

For the month of September, I read the book The Martian, by Andy Weir.

The Martian is a story of a man who got stranded on mars. In the year 2035, Mark Watney is impaled by a spaceship antennae, and is left to die by his crew. Mark watney ends up surviving the injury, because there was no blood loss. The man makes himself a machine for oxygen, finds food and water, and writes down his progress from each day. Satellite images capture his activity and his survival catches the news quickly. Mark ends up surviving 549 Sols (mars days) and gets picked up, leaves back to earth, and becomes a nasa instructor for survival

I liked this book because it reminded me of an end of the world scenario, if you were the last on earth. The book teaches that true independence is difficult to survive in, and that you are provided everything you need around you. I also liked it because of the sarcasm and dry humor the author put into the book, because it is a type of humor I enjoy reading.

My favorite quote from the book was at chapter 21,

“I never realized how utterly silent Mars is. It’s a desert world with practically no atmosphere to convey sound. I could hear my own heartbeat.” -Mark Watney

This quote helps feel the isolation Mark experiences in the book, and another reminder of what it feels like to be alone.

If I had the choice to live in any universe, it would be the one from the anime called One Piece. One Piece is a TV show about a world filled with pirates trying to find a treasure left by the king of the pirates before he died. In the One Piece universe, there is a special food called a Devil Fruit, that gives the user specific powers in exchange for their ability to swim. If I lived in this world, I would find and eat the magma fruit and conquer the sea!
