Which CW character is your favorite?

I think Archie is a great character. He can manipulate people into doing whatever he wants them to do without necessarily having to say what he wants them to do. It's almost like mind control...but like not.

10/30
If you could go back in time and change one event from your past, which would it be and why?

I wouldn't change any events in my past. I don't believe in living life with regrets. Sure, things have happened that I didn't necessarily enjoy, but everything that has happened has happened to create the life I lead now. I wouldn't want to change anything.

Promote a teacher to new principal. NOT CLARK! (explain your choice, but be RESPECTFUL)

I'm not sure. If I promote a teacher I don't like, then I will be miserable with an evil principal. If I promote a teacher I do like, then I will end up hating him or her because I hate principals. I suppose the school authorities can remain as they are.

11/1
Are you too old to trick-or-treat?

That is a matter of opinion. It's nice to be a little kid sometimes, but then again, if the entire high school goes trick or treating, it could ruin the entire experience for those of age. For instance, people would run out of candy and there would be none for the kids, and the little kids' parents may not be comfortable sending their litlle ones out onto dark streets full of corrupted teenagers.

What's your dream vehicle and why?

Well, I either wish to drive a Volkswagon Van or a 1965 black Cadillac. VW vans are awesome because they fit many people, and they are "groovy love machines" . Caddies, however, give off a looming, ominous, vintage essence straight from the 60's.

What is the most annoying pet naming convention?

I hate the normal obvious pet names like...Spot, Fluffy, Shadow, Paws, or Sunshine. They are so stupid. The only time these names are acceptable for a pet is when they are ironic misnomers. For instance, if one were to name a fish Paws, or a snake Fluffy. Then, it's kind of cute. I also hate when annoying people give their friends, boyfriends, or girlfriends pet names. I can't stand passing a couple in the hallway and listening to them call each other something stupid like "Pookie Wookie Kins" or something equally lame.

10/16
Of all the pets you've ever had, which one had the coolest name?

Well, I have had many, many pets in my lifetime. I have had dogs: Saidie, Samson, Pongo, Delilah, Baxter, and Edgar. I have also had cats: Katy, Bridget, Allison, and Teaspoon. I have had cats: Smoke, Bitsy, Calpurnia, Donder, and Boxer. I have had fish as well: Sapphire, Archer, and Angel. I once had a pet bird named Moccasin, and a snake named Delacroix. I have also cared for two lizards by the names of Veronica and Houdini. Most recently, however, I have adopted three Antilles Pink-Toe Tarantulas, whose names are Hecate Selene, Persephone, and Violette Mystique. I feel that most of my pets, if not all, have had wonderful names, but I would have to say the title for the coolest name would lie evenly among Calpurnia, Delacroix, Hecate Selene, and Persephone.

10/19
Great job, lousy pay. Lousy job, great pay. Which one? Explain.

Great job, lousy pay. I would rather spend my life poor while enjoying my career than dreading that which makes me wealthy. If I am going to be rich in the future, it will be earned from a job that I love. You are only given one chance at life. If you live it miserably for money alone, you're an idiot.

10/22
Which is better: an easy class with loads of homework or a hard class with very little homework? Explain.

Well, I have trouble completing my work, as I'm sure you've noticed. However, in easy classes, I have a special talent for spending the entire term goofing off, getting all my work in by the end of the term, and pull off an A. In easy classes, you can get all of the work for the entire year done in one weekend, and they always take it late. In hard classes, the teachers don't accept late work (ahem, Clark). Due to my frequent changes in Attention Defacite elevation, easier classes with loads of homework, are no problem.

10/23
Which of these decades has the best music? 60's, 70's, 80's, or 90's?

80's!!!!!!! 80's is music! I love 80's rock and grunge. It is the best music ever created, and it is soooo sad that most of the artists are dead now. I literally feed off of the musical talents of Dokken, Styx, Ratt,Alice Cooper, Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Cheap Trick, the Scorpions, Motley Crue, Cinderella, and many, many others. However, Nirvana's introduction to grunge makes me partial to 90's as well. R.I.P. Kurt Cobain, deceased but never forgotten. He will forever live on in our hearts, minds, souls, and CD players.

10/24
Do you like to hunt? Why or why not?

I despise hunting. I despise hunters. Hunting is an awful and sadistic sport in which mankind enters the home of an innocent animal to murder and devour him or her. In my mind if hunting is supposedly "ethical" than it should also be perfectly acceptable for one to enter another man's home and shoot him dead in front of his own refrigerator, cut him up and eat him, leaving his family to fend for themselves. There's really not much difference. If someone finds murder entertaining in any context, his or her philosophy greatly lacks something to be desired.

10/25
Nearly nine weeks, into the school year...has your initial new lunchline opinion changed?

No not at all. It still reminds me of a Pink Floyd music video. But, I have gotten used to it. It completely angers me that they always run out of food during third lunch, though. It's like they have no clue how many people are in the school.

10/26
Do you, or will you someday, play the lottery?

Currently, I do not play the lottery. I, personally, feel that it is a waste of time and money, and the chances of winning are slim to none. I will probably play sometime in the future, though. I believe one should try everything at least once. You never know what could happen.

Comment on the salty hamburger incident.

The story is ridiculous/hilarious/a total bummer for the chick involved. Neither of the two people are without fault, though. When the girl spilled the salt, she obviously should not have continued to prepare the tainted meat and distribute it to a customer. However, the policeman should not have arrested her because, for instance, if I got sick from eating a bad hamburger, I couldn't have anyone arrested for it. The cop was using his title to avenge his lunch. Also, was the cop really that much of a dunce that he would continue to consume a burger tasting of excessive amounts of salt? I mean, what an idiot.

Personally, is it more comfortable for setting or location (house, classroom, etc.) to be too hot or too cold.

I would much rather be cold than hot. It is much easier to get warm when you are cold than it is to cool off when you're hot. If you are cold, you can always put on more clothes, start a fire, run around and get your blood flowing better, rub your hands together, or sit closely to someone else and feed off of their body heat. In opposition, the only solution to excessive heat is ice or air conditioning.

Book Synopsis

TITLE: The Traveling Vampire Show
AUTHOR: Richard Laymon
PUBLICATION DATE: March, 2001
PAGE COUNT: 391
TYPE: Fiction
BEGAN: September 26th, 2007
COMPLETED: September 27th, 2007

MY RATING: B+
PUBLIC RATING: C-


1. Why did I decide to read this book?
I decided to read The Traveling Vampire Show for a few reasons. I thoroughly enjoyed Blood Games, which was the first book I read by Richard Laymon. I figured that his other novels must be equally as interesting. In addition, this book was recommended by my English teacher and I, therefore, decided it would most likely be entertaining. I also just enjoy anything vampire related.

2. Plot summary (avoiding major spoilers when possible):
It is nearly impossible to actually depict events in the plot without ruining the ending, so my plot summary is as follows. The Traveling Vampire Show is basically about a boy, his sister-in-law, his best friend, and his best friend/love interest and their experiences with the "Traveling Vampire Show" coming through town. You join the four as they encounter sweaty chores, vicious dogs, angry parents, creepy fields, annoying younger sisters, and a LOT of blood. This book is filled with suspense, horror, mystery, and action, as well as comedy, romance, and lust. It will keep you entertained until the very last page.

3. What is the setting, and why is it important to the novel?
The story takes place during the summertime in a small hick town known as Grandville. Apparently, it is a place where nobody ever visits and nothing ever happens. In fact, most of the troubling situations encountered in Grandville are due to the neverending search for something to do. The protagonists spend a lot of time at Janks Field, an area with a lot of violent history including satanic rituals, car accidents, murder, teenage fornication, animal sacrifice, and a lot of broken glass. The suggestion of ghostly apparitions that may inhabit the field makes the perfect creepy setting that adds to the eerie feel of the entire story.

4. Who are the main characters, and what roles do they play in the novel?
The story is narrated by Dwight Thompson, the main character. His best friends are Russell (known as Rusty) and Frances (currently known as Slim). Rusty is the curious and mischievous character who is always getting himself and the others into trouble. Slim is the eccentric, tough, and clever character whose skills always seem to get them out of the trouble Rusty causes. Dwight's sister-in-law, Lee, serves as the kids' protector and refuge and does whatever she can to ensure they stay out of trouble and have lots of fun. Julian Stryker runs and operates the Traveling Vampire Show itself and basically represents the antagonists and antipathetic forces as a whole.


5. What is/are the main conflict(s) in the novel?
First, the three main characters set out to see if they can get a look at the star of the Traveling Vampire Show beforehand. Unfortunately, they come in contact with a vicious dog who attempts to rip Slim to pieces. After Dwight saves Slim from the dog, the Rusty and Slim hide from the animal on top of the run-down concession stand building. Slim is injured and Dwight runs to Lee's house for her help/car. Dwight and Lee then encounter Julian Stryker for the first time and get tickets for the show. The four main characters will later encounter angry parents, annoying little sisters, missing best friends, and the stunning, deadly Valeria herself.

6. Describe the climax of the novel.
Since the climax of the novel is a big surprise, there's very little I can say without ruining the book for you. The climax of the novel occurs when the team finally attends the Traveling Vampire Show. Describing this discreetly, the "show" consists of volunteers from the audience battling the vampire in a cage before a crowd of people. The children soon discover the conspiracy behind the Traveling Vampire Show. The team of friends are faced with defeating the vampire, rescuing her victims, and escaping unscathed.

7. What is the significance of the book's title? Is the title appropriate, or would I change it to something else?
The title refers back to the main event in the book. Since the "Traveling Vampire Show" is mainly what the book is about, it is perfect for the novel. I wouldn't change the title, because it fits the story well. If I were to change it, though, I would change it to Caged With Fate And Beauty. However, the original title makes more sense.

8. What is my opinion about this book? Why (give specifics)?
This book is very entertaining. The plot combines horror, romance, mystery, and comedy throughout. Laymon's books tend to give off an eerie atmosphere. I love his imagery and detailed descriptions of even the most intricate aspects of the setting. The novel could live on with a bit less sexual content, though. I find those details a bit unnecessary. Overall, the book was very interesting and fun to read.

Journals 9/28-10/5

9/28
Do violent video games negatively influence those who play them? Will playing violent video games make someone a violent person.

Violent video games are made for/played by violent people. If you are not a violent person already, you more than likely will not want to play such gruesome games in the first place. Video games also do not negatively influence people. By playing violent video games, the violent people are given a change to let out their aggressions on the characters in the game rather than the kid they sit next to in Spanish class. I believe that many people have been rescued by the detailed graphics supplied by Xbox...or whatever gaming system you may have.

10/1
Did you have trouble completing the quotes assignment?

I found the quotes assignment to be fairly simple. I completed it the day it was assigned and printed it out that weekend. The assignment was then left in my folder patiently awaiting the due date.

10/2
Who is your hero?

I have an unhealthy fascination and/or obsession with Emilie Autumn and the Bloody Crumpets. I can't explain the reason. Some of their music really sucks, and a lot of their gimmicks are really cheesy. I have ALWAYS wanted to play the violin more than anything else, and either never had the money for the instrument, couldn't find local violin lessons, or both. Therefore, I adore Emilie Autumn mostly because she plays the violin like a goddess. She's also an idol of mine because of her Victorian clothing...too awesome.

10/3
Critique each hallway's homecoming decor.

The hallways that were assigned a graduating class look amazing. However, I am concerned about the lack of spirit in the remaining areas of the building. The main hallway has not a single homecoming poster or balloon. That's sad. Also, I'm a bit irritated with the miscreants that attend this school. Quite a few people gave up their weekend to come deck the halls with Keyser spirit, and the other ingrateful students in this school find it comical to tear down, rip up, rearrange, or vandalize their own school's homecoming decorations. No one likes school, but that's no excuse to ruin the fun things about it that some people cherish.

10/4
Based on your life now, predict your death.

I seem to offend everyone I come in contact with. I also seem unable to comprehend rules and regulations. Therefore, if I were to die of something other than old age, my death would most likely be due to murder or the death penalty. Looks like big fun awaits me.

BOOK SYNOPSIS QUESTIONS
Shayla Paige Llewellyn


1. Why did I decide to read this book?
Well, before I read the book, I saw the movie. The film was very interesting and I wanted to read the book to learn more about the topic. Also, everyone knows the books are always much better than the movies. I therefore decided to read the book because if its inferior form was so good, then the book would most likely be amazing. For the record, it most certainly was, in my personal opinion.

2. What was the general subject of the book?
The book is basically telling readers about a family and their horrific experience in a house possessed by evil spirits. The Lutz family spent 28 days in what they first thought was their dream home on 112 Ocean Avenue. In these 28 days, they did not experience one dull moment. The fact that this story is true is repeatedly emphasized in this book as well.

3. What were some of the main points made about the subject?
Well, the obvious first point is that the house is possessed. Jay Anson tells us in this story that one year before the Lutzes moved into 112 Ocean Avenue, Ronald DeFeo had murdered his entire family in their sleep. DeFeo claims he often heard voices telling him to harm his parents, or his brothers and sisters, and he assumed it must have been God speaking to him, and that he must obey him. The first resident of the house was a John Ketcham, an alleged devil worshipper. It is also brought to our attention that the property on which the house was built was also a mass Indian burial site where over 400 people were tortured and slaughtered.

4. What was the most interesting thing I learned about the subject? Why?
Well, what I found to be most interesting of all the happenings mentioned in this book, were the different psychological and parapsychological effects the house had on each member of the family, especially George Lutz. George Lutz became easily enraged and constantly had the feeling he was cold. Also, he began waking up every morning at exactly 3:15 a.m.(the time of the DeFeo family massacre) to check the boathouse.

5. Overall, was the information presented in an interesting way? How?
Yes it was. Instead of laying all of the information out on the table, Anson kept certain facts and aspects of the story from the readers until the opportune moment to create a feeling of suspense, making the book unable to walk away from. Anson tells the story in a way that makes every aspect of it fascinating and frightening. I have already read this book twice since I bought it in mid-August.

6. What is the significance of the book's title? Is the title appropriate, or would I change it to something else?
I think The Amityville Horror is a perfect title for this story. One obvious reason is that the setting takes place in the city of Amityville. Another is that the psychic phenomena that occurred creates a very terrifying and “horrific” experience. The title simply and accurately depicts the contents of the book. I would not change it.

7. What is my opinion of this book? Why (give specifics)?
The book serves the information involved justice. However, there are many other facts involved in the history of 112 Ocean Avenue that I feel should also be included. For instance, it does not say that the appearance of the front of the house, as well as the address, has been changed to protect the family that is currently living there (peacefully) from the regular visits by the curious and believers in the supernatural. In addition, many of the facts told by George and Kathy Lutz are false. Jay Anson wrote this book based solely on the information provided by the Lutzes and did not seek a second opinion nor did he personally study the background or history of the house and the previous residents which occupied it.
The house has not consistently brought devastation to its occupants and many families have lived peacefully in the house.

What was your most memorable summer adventure?

This past summer, I began babysitting my neighbors children. The youngest,
Little Stevie, is approximately one month old. He has a four-year-old brother,
Anthony, a seven-year-old sister, Katelyn, and a ten-year-old brother, Donnie.
Not to mention the family cares for about fifteen cats, of which I am allergic.
The baby is a bit colicky and is screaming constantly. Anthony runs on
batteries or something and also has developed quite the colorful vocabulary.
The influence to blame, Donnie, thinks he's and adult and doesn't need a
babysitter and has no manners at all and is completely defiant. And Katelyn
talks at an extremely high volume constantly and can't seem to keep her hands
off of anything. As you can see, they would be tolerable separately, but they
are and awful combination. I watched over these demon children for ten hours
a day for three weeks at $2.50 per hour. I suppose "adventure" would be one
way to put it.
