Imagine you had a hundred dollars, but you couldn't keep it. You had to give it away to a person or charity. Who would you give it to? What would you want them to do with it?

If i had a hundred dollars to give to someone, i would give it to my alt, Lily's boyfriend. I suppose it might be kinda selfish of me, but i would want him to use it to get unlimited texting for his prepaid cell phone. This way, we can talk to each other more often than we do, and not worry about him using up all his minutes. He doesnt have internet right now, so the only communication we have is through texts.

What advice would you give to someone who stole something but now feels guilty about it and why would you give that advice?

Wooow, this is kinda a hard topic, but i suppose it would depend on what they stole. I have had important things stolen in RL, and i thought, why would someone take that? I just want it back. I finally got it back, but at first i was so sad.
If someone stole something from me, then gave it back, and felt guilty about it, the advice i would give them is that they shouldnt steal. Cuz, like i felt, when someone takes something, it makes the person who got stolen from very sad, and somewhat violated. Some people would just be thankful, take their property back and go on their way. However, you may steal something from someone, and the person that was victimized may take matters into their own hands and could hurt you. Or, sometimes if you steal, they may call the police and you could go to jail. So, you should not steal. Plus, if you steal, you are not honest, and then people will not trust you.

"What is your favorite book and why?"
Wooow.. this is a difficult one for me, cuz i dont really have a favorite book.. but, i do have a few that i really like. Two books come to mind. The first one that came to mind was Anne of Green Gables, and i think the reason it is a favorite, is cuz it was one of the first chapter books i ever read. I also like it cuz i like the way Anne thinks. The way she tries to see the good in things, although her thinking got her in trouble a few times. She's a romantic. And, i really like that in her.
The other book i thought of is called, The Fire of the Covenant. It is a historical fiction book about the Willie/Martin Handcart pioneer trek. Several pioneers from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints (the Mormons) took the journeous trek from New York to Utah, but a group of them, most from Europe and fairly poor, had the opportunity to go across the plains pulling handcarts instead of covered wagons. Unfortuantely, they got caught in the snow storms and had a tretcheous experience, some of them not making it to their journtey's end. The book blends a few fictionous families with real life historical figures, and their faith and determination to make it to the Salt Lake Valley. It's a really good book, and made me laugh and cry.

"If you could be any animal in the jungle, what would you be and why?"
When i first read the topic for this day's journal entry, i thought.. it would be fun to be a monkey in the jungle. And, although it would be fun to be able to sit in the trees and swing around on vines, i think it would be more fun to be a bird. The reasons being, you could still sit in the trees, but you could also fly and soar high above the trees, with the wind flowing through your feathers. :D And, they usually are so pretty with their bright colorful hues.

"If there were no rules, what do you think would happen?"
If there were no rules, i think the world would be a very confusing, chaotic place. And, if you think it's confusing and chaotic already, think if no one had to abide to any rules and could do whatever they wanted! 0.0 We have rules for a reason, and although they sometimes dont seem fair, they are, for the most part, to have order. Think if it was okay for people to steal and not have any lawful concequences. Think of what it would be like in a classroom if there were no rules.. if we could come and go when we wanted, if we could just be rude to everyone, if we didnt have to do anything. What would be the point? And, there would be no respect, cuz many people would not care, and then many people would be sad. I would not like to live in a place that had no rules.

"What advice would you give new kids to school?"
Advice i would give a new kid at school is to try and be involved in excurricular activities, such as dance, newspaper, photo club, etc. and to try to make the school experience the best as you can. By joining some extra classes, you will most likely have the opportunity to meet some new friends. And, if you can make your experience in class the best you can, you will enjoy it. Also, try to remember we are all adults behind the screens and have feelings. It's not fun to feel like you dont fit in or that people dont like you. :( So, the advice i'd give to the old kids at school, remember you were once new and needed a friend.

"What would you do if you were waiting in line at the movies and someone cut in front of you?"

If someone cut in the line as i stood waiting to buy tickets at a movie, i wonder if i would be upset or okay with it? There are many things that would make me react a certain way. It would depend on my mood, cuz if i was feeling happy and relaxed that day, i may just say, "it's okay *smiley face*" Buuut.. if i had to rush to get to the theater or if the movie is close to selling out, and someone cut in front of me, ON PURPOSE, i prolly would be pretty annoyed. Cuz, they could purchase the last ticket, and cause me to not get in. But, i could go to the next showing, i suppose. However, if i were to let someone cut in line, the people behind me could get upset. It is actually rude to cut in line. And, it also annoys me when people hold spots. I remember when i was around 12 in RL, our town got a brand new ice rink.. the first one we've had. It was very exciting. On opening day, the line was very long, and we were standing in line behind some people that we knew. Not only were there a lot of people waiting to get in on a hot summer's day, they were only letting people in if they had your skate size. This group of people we knew standing in front of us, allowed some of their friends to cut in line to be with them. I was very upset, and said, "that's not fair!" The response i recieved made me even more upset. One of the girls said, "well, life's not fair." 0.0...
