.... that. So far has been fairly good to me. During the fist semester I was enrolled in six classes. I didn't get lower than a "C" and I achieved a grade point average of at least a three point. But the thing that I have enjoyed the most about is being with my girlfriend. We've been together for almost a year and a half now and she is one of the most important things in my life. I don't know what I would do without her. She has always been there when I needed her. If I was slacking off and wasn't doing my homework she would encourage me and help to keep my spirits up. I appreciate what she has done for me and I love her very much. The thing that I have enjoyed t .....

.... projects to fix up your house can have terrible consequences that lay waiting for the poor and unsuspecting handyman. They are usually a great deal more involved than what you may have bargained for. Around September in 1995, my wife was watching Bob on television. He was installing a new set of kitchen cabinets in an old house. Well, she decided that I needed to do the same thing because it was a very simple and non time consuming project. She said that Bob did it in thirty minutes and so could I. She took me to "Home Depot" in Orange Park and picked out her new kitchen cabinets. I was a little unsure about this kitchen cabinet thing, bu .....

.... 14 had overcome every other thought I previously had. It might seem funny to some that I held that one day with such great esteem, but to me it was unlike any other holiday. On Valentines Day I felt loved by everyone. On that day, I would obtain the card that I had picked out from my father. Classmates would give everyone Valentine cards. Some extremely generous kids would even attach candy to the cards. It didn't matter if you hated each other, on Valentines Day everyone put aside their differences and even presented cards to the children nobody liked. That one day of love seemed to unify the worst of foes through love and forgiveness. I could hardl .....

.... start the game. Starting at point guard for Shelby number 11, Toooooodddd Grrifffinn. “Ya, woo, go Todd!!!” Cheers rang out from the crowd. Calling each team's captain onto the playing surface the referee informed them of the rules. “I want a clean game. No elbows, no scratching, or biting,” said Bob, the head referee. Bob tossed the ball high into the thick air and the game began. Shelby won the opening tip and converted it into a quick two points. The Detroit Central Cougars brought the ball up the court and scored a lay-up. Todd was determined not to let this game slip out of his fingers. Led by Todd the Tigers had been to the finals three years in .....

.... the friends I do get; I keep for a long time. Some people have not been good influences on me in the past but that happens to everyone. I used to be against all forms of authority, in general, I did not think anyone had the right to tell me what to do or where to go. Along with that belief came the outright rebellion against the normal. Also, a whole anarchy thing was in my life for a long while. I do not know why I believed in it at all, I just did. It was probably from the whole rebellion aspect of my life. I started to slack off a little in school and my attitude was changing a lot, for the worse. This got a lot better as time passed. Ahh the present, the .....

.... usually held by persons over 21 was given to me at 17 and I wasn’t the oldest counselor. At the end of camp I was recognized by the pastor for the job I did. Another example of my leadership was when I was in the fourth grade when I received the Role Model award for my entire school. I received a bike and a plaque that I still have today. These examples prove that when you are a leader people do notice. Being vocal on the football field and basketball court are also examples of my natural leadership. Saying something that needs to be said or leading by example prove my teamwork abilities. I have participated in many community service activiti .....

.... frames, and with artificial snow. This mountain is equipped with chairlifts, and three different ski-runs designed for different skill levels. The dome also has an extra large swimming pool, equipped with many slides. This pool is designed to fit in as many as 1,000 people. The swimming pool can also simulate tidal waves. And aside of that, it has a whirlpool, and a steam room. For the kids' amusement, we have put in a mini-amusement park, which contains a couple of rollercoaster rides, a Ferris wheel, and many other rides, designed for children and adults of all ages. Along with that, the amusement park, also has many carnival games. Beside .....

.... First, I do not publish my work (although some writers at the Virginian Pilot newspaper feel I should) because it's mine. I know this sounds selfish, but I'm being honest. A part of my personality goes into my work and I feel if people read enough of my work, they will discover certain personal feelings I would prefer to keep private. -- Honesty Check...I also think my work sucks. -- As to where I get my ideas from for my sick excursions, I sincerely do not know. Like Stephen King (who got the idea to write IT when looking off of a bridge) I seem to receive my mad phantasms out of thin air. For example, when I first began writing the fir .....
