Informal and formal

   Hey Lily Cat,  So I'm doing my topic for Dr. D's annotated bibliography on Apple, Microsofts, and there affects on each other. Im feeling that my research has got me a lot of good information. Most boring websites and databases all say that apple Is a greater company than Microsoft. Duh who would have guessed. I also know that they have affected each other by challenging each other to bring there company to new nights.
   For this Annotated Bibliography, English-World History project I am researching the effect that Apple and Microsoft have on each other. The information that multiple databases have given me is that Microsoft highly affected Apple early on by urging Apple to succeed with greatness above Microsoft. Apple on the other hand has passed up Microsofts great heights and downgraded Microsoft with Apples great, fresh, new products

competitions make me insane

   I am so competitive. I always have to win and if I lose I do not handle it well. Sarah Catherine says that Im so competitive that it affects my daily life and she feels intimidated by me. I just love the satisfaction that you get when you defeat someone. Every sport I have done I have been obsessed with winning and if we lost I would quit the team, or at least wanted to If my dad didn't let me.
   I even love winning little competitions. My dad and I always make bets, mostly because I am this way because of him. For example the other day we were watching TV and a commercial of Venus and Serena Williams, the tennis playing twins, came on. My Dad said that the one on the left was Serena and the one on the right was Venus, my mom and I disagreed. We were looking up picture for hours trying to prove our point. It got so intense we were yelling at each other and My dad would not except the fact that he was wrong until later that night. It was a long night.

Project Progress

    My Annotated Bibliography is coming along slowly but surely. I have 5 annotated citations and 6 citations all together. I am finding good bits of information, but there isn't much information on databases for my topic. Some information I find focus' on the stocks of Apple and Microsoft which isn't helpful information towards my topic.
   This website called seeking alpha has really been a mass of my information. Scholarly authors write these articles on all different topics and I have found multiple ones that relate to mine. I am not worried about procrastinating on this project. I am evenly distributing my assignments so I have enough time to complete each one correctly and thoroughly.

_Stolen_ response

    This week I started reading Stolen by Lucy Christopher. This book is a lot like the movie Taken except for a few differences. The main character has been stolen by a boy named Ty. The girl who is stolen goes by the name Gemma. which is a rather peculiar name. She has been stolen at the airport and has been taken by Ty to a foreign land. Gemma does't know where or how they got there
    On the cover of the book there is a butterfly and at the top of every new chapter there is one as well. So far the author hasn't mentioned anything about these delicate creatures but as I dive deeper into this book I thing they will be significant to the plot. I honestly don't know why Ty has stolen Gemma but I guess I will find that out as I read more.

My Cousin's Accident

   My cousin Emma recently got in a car accident. She is from Hammond, Louisiana and the accident happened in Amite on an old country road. She was with her friend Christina, and they were coming home from Christina's birthday party. The girls are both in college and are 19 years old. They were pulling up to Christina's apartment after the party around 12. Then a song they liked came on the radio, they pulled out the driveway to ride around to listen to the song. They didn't go far. It was a foggy night and sometime during the song, one of the car wheels hit a stump. The car then flipped into a ditch.
   Christina and Emma were thrown from the car through the windshield, the car was totaled. Christina was holding Emma when she called some friends to bring them to the emergency room. Emma had a fractured scull, a gash an inch wide and an inch deep from her temple down her cheek to her chin. Her jaw and cheek bones were completely crushed and her eyesight and ear may never be the same on that side of her face. Christina escaped the crash with only scrapes, bruises, and only one cut that needed stitches. Emma is a lucky girl who survived a potentially fatal car accident and had no brain damage. No one knows why this happened, but maybe one day something good will come out of it.
