Dance Party Feb. 28, 2014

Today, I had a dance party at my middle school. I saw a lot of people there (including some of my friends). There was a DJ who would turn up the music. My friends and I were doing some dance moves and singing to the songs.

Some songs that the DJ put were:

• "What Does the Fox Say?" by Ylvis
• "Baby" by Justin Bieber
• "Roar" by Katy Perry
• "Titanium" by Sia
• "Treasure" by Bruno Mars
• "Best Song Ever" by One Direction

Once in a while, the DJ will put a slow song that annoyed my friends and I because they were boring. At other times (when there is slow music), we'd take a break and drink some water. Overall, I had a really good time at the dance.

The Warriors Movie Clip

I made this Warriors movie clip on YouTube. For this Warriors video, it is about a new leader in ThunderClan. He is excited for his first Gathering, and hopes that cats from other Clans show sympathy towards his former leader's death.

I made the video by using CrazyTalk. In CrazyTalk, you can make objects move. You can even make things not move (like background cloud). Also, you have to know where the eye, nose, mouth, and other body parts. You also can make the object turn its head.

My Girl Scout Cookie Experience

You may or may not know that I do Girl Scouts. Because I live in Palo Alto, there are a lot of girls that do Girl Scouts and sell cookies. In Palo Alto, some people buy cookies. However, the customer may not buy the cookies for following reasons:

1. their relatives are a girl scout
2. they already bought cookies from another girl
3. they personally don't want cookies
4. they think it's too expensive
5. they don't have any money with them

Some kinds of people will buy cookies:

1. Because they tasted the cookie(s) before and liked it they want to try a new type of cookie 
2. They support Girl Scouts
3. They were a Girl Scout themselves
4. They like to chat with girls in the neighborhood

If the customer already bought cookies, I suggest them - How about get just one more box of a different flavor. I also let them donate to the food bank or the military.

If they want to buy something I don't have, I persuade people to buy the flavor of the boxes I have left, and explain what is so special about the cookie. I also find boxes that are similar to the one the customer wants. For example, Thin Mints and Tagalongs are similar because they both have chocolate.

• Savanna Smiles: they have a lemon flavor, and are one of the newest cookies introduced
• Trefoils: the oldest and most authentic Girl Scout cookie, and it tastes crispy, crumbly with butter, flour and sugar
• Do-Si-Dos: this cookie has a peanut butter flavor, sort of looks like a mini sandwich
• Samoas: the second most wanted cookie with a coconut and chocolate flavor
• Dulce de Leche: a caramel flavor and looks like a chocolate chip
• Thank You Berry Munch: a berry cookie that's nutritious and the healthiest cookie
• Tagalongs: have a peanut butter and chocolate flavor, kind of like a Thin Mint cookie
• Thin Mints: the most wanted cookie with a chocolate and mint flavor.

I got 60 boxes, and I have 10 left after 3 days of selling. On average, it takes me 5 minutes to sell one box of cookie.

The Character Games Chapter 11

"Are you ready for the big day?" asked Alvin.
"Yeah!" Group 51 cheered.
"What game are we playing?" wondered Dorami.
"I hope it's something that Group 61 is weak at," muttered Doraemon.
"I think it's something challenging and difficult," remarked Snoopy.
"Why do you think that?" asked his friends, Woodstock and Rerun.
"Well, the activities can get challenging every time you win," Garfield pointed out.
"Yeah, and we've never been this good before," added his girlfriend, Arlene.
"I wonder when Group 51 won last time," murmured Odie.
"Maybe millions and millions and millions of years ago," commented Nermal.
"The Character Games was made in 1924," said Alvin. "We, Group 51 last won in 1989."
"We weren't born at that time!" complained Dorami.
"Do you have a video of it? If so, can we see it?" asked Doraemon.
"Yes, but it's very unclear," said Alvin. "It's on a DVD." He searched for it and found it on a shelf that was unstable. Alvin put the DVD in the DVD player.

When the movie was finished, Alvin put the DVD out of the player and said, "Did you like it?"
"Not bad," commented Garfield. "We'll be history if we beat 'em this time!"
"YES! This is what I've been waiting for!" cried his friend, Jon.

"As you know, today we will be watching Groups 51 and 61 play a game. That game is.......CHESS!" called Harry Potter.
"Chess outside?" wondered a Group 48 member.
"May the best win!" yelled the president, ignoring the inquisitive member. "Members from each group, line up! Each one of you takes turns for moving a chess board player."
"Uh-oh, butterflies are in my stomach,"groaned Doraemon.
"Same here," mumbled Dorami. Alvin glared at them.
"Do not reveal your weaknesses, understand?" growled Alvin.
"But-" complained Dorami.
"Groups, you may begin!" called Harry Potter.
Doraemon was 27th in line. He worried, What if we don't win? We'll never be history!
"Lousy showoff," snarled a Group 61 member to Doraemon.
"Checkmate," replied Doraemon smugly.
Dorami watched those people in front of her move one by one. She thought, "Will we ever win?"

The Character Games Chapter 10

"Ladies and gentleman, we have two groups left," said Harry Potter on the loudspeaker. "All groups will see these two groups play tomorrow at the field. The groups are............ 51 and 61!"

Group 51 cheered. All of the other people from the other 98 groups were shocked!

"But 45 won last time," protested a Group 78 member.
"Yeah and I thought they were the weakies," sneered a Group 33 member.
"That's enough!" yelled Harry Potter. He then softened his voice. "Group 51 may have been a weak group, but they probably wanted their revenge this time."
"But how?" wondered a Group 97 member.
"Why didn't they just tell you?" asked a Group 57 member.
"They wanted to keep it a secret," answered Harry Potter.
"A spoiled secret," sneered the entire Group 61. Doraemon scowled at them.
"Your face is a spoiled secret," smirked Alvin. Group 61 backed up shocked.
"So," replied Harry Potter. "Groups, go home. May the best win."

Harry Potter surprises his people.
