Today I feel like writting about the word fun! Fun is a great word, fun could go along with many things. Like sports I find the sports that I do fun. For example, I ski (for fun), Irish Dance and play rugby. Every year our family goes to Big Sky Montana with a bunch of other families who have kids my age as well as my sisters. Its a georgeous place especially when you go up to the peak the view is breath taking. Anyways I think Big Sky is the funnest place in the world. Because, its beautiful and you get to ski all day and relax and have fun at night. One of the funnest runs in Big Sky is a run called ambush glades it is a black diamond its hard to find because you have to take a certain route through the terrain park in order to get there. But once you get there if you just stop and look it is so cool. The run is inbetween trees filled with mogles and it takes about 10-15 min to ski down it is an exciting work out run. Irish Dance my other sport is so fun to do. One because not a lot of people do it so when your friends come and watch they think its really cool. Secondly, we get to wear these sweet hand embroided dresses made for you that are shipped over from Ireland. And we get to compete all over the world. Another sport I find fun is Rugby. It is so intense and sweet. I love just being able to have an excuse to tackle other girls without getting in trouble. There are many rules to rugby unfortunatley I can only explain a couple. Here are a few of the more important rules. You cannot throw the ball in front of you that is a big no no. You have to throw it to the side or behind you if you throw it in front the sir (aka the ref) will penallize you. In order to score a tri (same thing as a touchdown or goal) is to run to the other teams line past the cones and touch it to the ground if it doesn't touch the ground it doesn't count as a tri. The main goal is to go after the person with the ball and tackle them down until you get it and score as many tries as possible. Basically rugby is just organized fun

RAOUL:
'No more talk
of darkness,
Forget these
wide-eyed fears.
I'm here,
nothing can harm you -
my words will
warm and calm you.
Let me be
your freedom,
let daylight
dry your tears.
I'm here,
with you, beside you,
to guard you
and to guide you...
CHRISTINE:
Say you love me
every
waking moment,
turn my head
with talk of summertime...
Say you need me
with you,
now and always...
promise me that all
you say is true -
that's all I ask
of you...
RAOUL:
Let me be
your shelter,
let me be your light.
You're safe:
No-one will find you -
your fears are
far behind you...
CHRISTINE:
All I want
is freedom,
a world with
no more night...
and you,
always beside me,
to hold me
and to hide me...
RAOUL:
Then say you'll share with
me one
love, one lifetime...
let me lead you
from your solitude...
Say you need me
with you
here, beside you...
anywhere you go,
let me go too -
Christine,
thats all I ask
of you...
CHRISTINE:
Say you'll share with
me one
love, one lifetime...
say the word
and I will follow you...
Share each day with
me, each
night, each morning...
Say you love me...
RAOUL:
You know I do...
BOTH:
Love me -
that's all I ask
of you...
Anywhere you go
let me go too...
Love me-
that's all I ask
of you...
PHANTOM:
I gave you my music...
made your song take wing...
and now, how you've
repaid me:
denied me
and betrayed me...
He was bound to love you
when he heard you sing...
RAOUL/CHRISTINE
Say you'll share with
me one
love, one lifetime
say the word and I will follow you...
Share each day with
me, each
night, each morning...
PHANTOM:
You will curse the day
you did not do
all that the Phantom asked
of you...!
1. This song/ poem is a passionate poem/song nonetheless. Its a peak in the musical it shows Christine and Raoul's love for each other and the Phantoms jealousy and anger towards Christine for loving Raoul. Its one of my favorite songs just because the words are so passionate and beautiful. And the Phantoms reaction in it just makes it more real.


2. The imagery brought out in the song is amazing. I listened to it on my ipod and read along and not because I had seen it before. But I could picture what was happening just by reading along with the music. I could feel Christine and Raoul's love as well as the Phantoms anger. Just be what words were used. For example the phantoms lines "You will curse the day you did not do all the phantom asked you to do." It clearly shows how the phantom is filled with sadness and hate you can just see and feel his sadness by reading this line.

2. In general I like writing stories I just think there fun and things to write and you hardly run out of ideas when writing a story at least I don't. As a writer I like to have fun with my writing when I get stumped I have to finish I just can't give up on whatever I'm writing. However, aside from writing I am a huge reader. I love to read one of my favorite books is Pride and Prejudice (its also a favorite movie of mine). I also like the Harry potter books Yeah there weird creepy books but the adventure that you get out of it is just so cool. Its fun to picture it in your head as your reading thats the fun in reading. I don't write for fun usually i'd prefer to read over writing any day. But I do like writing just don't have time really but I like to write stories and personal essays. When writing is not a school assignment I will do it only once every few months due to time.

3. Well I have so many childhood memories I was well a very persistent child as well as demanding. I never gave up when I wanted to be good at something, or have something. I absolutely loved Disney movies. When my kinder garden friends and I would play dress up a popular game was pretending that we were Disney princesses, I was always Belle or Cinderella they were my favorite. I just thought that princesses had it easy well what else was I supposed to think I was a little girl I didn't know anything about reality. I was 5 year old living in a dream world all I knew was that fighting and wars were bad and that golf was the most boring show in the world, thats all my dad ever watches that and the news. Anyways, I remember this moment like it was yesterday that and my dad tells this story every time I'm upset or say I want to just give up. I was very very bored and wanted to watch either lion king, beauty and the beast or sleeping beauty. My dad had a long day and just wanted to lay down and watch golf. Of course being the persistent child I was I waltzed right up to him held out the movies and said dad lets watch a movie which one. My dad looked at me and said not now Catie its been a long day lets watch one tomorrow. Then I replied with which one I like Lion king or Beauty and the beast what do you want to watch? My dad looked at me again and said Catie not today alright sweetie. Of course I changed it around this time and said oh okay Lion king sounds good to me lets watch that. Then my dad gave up and said alright just lion king. I'm the same way today only now my parents have an easier time saying no because i'm not as cute as I used to be.
