anonymous

I called them an ultra cool hacker group in the last page, but honestly, I know nothing about them. I think I'll research then post, cause this is interesting. Honestly, their big thing is protesting Scientology. And I can get behind that, because it is kinda cultish, excuse me.
Sorry ad for stealing your computer. Ok, I said it. Happy?
LONG LIVE NOAH!!!!!!!!

Emails

So, in case you are completely oblivious, you have probably heard that Sarah Palin's email account has been hacked.(by the ultra cool hacker group anonymous) So has right-wing pundit Bill O'Reilly's website, probably in retaliation for his remarks about the leak. I'll post a link later, but everyone check out wikileaks.org . It's pretty amazing, and will provide people like the ultra ignorant ad with up to the minute news.
So, for all of you silly people saying, oh, hacking emails is mean, READ THE WIKILEAKS. This isn't about citizens randomly hacking her email for fun or out of spite. She is using her personal email to bypass Alaska's freedom of information act. So yeah, that is my business, Y. ( Who is not one of us, but I'm going to not show her name in an effort to be courteous.)

Pineapple no more

It saddens me to say this but there will be no pineapple editorial in the newspaper. Instead, there's going to be a quiz that somehow features pineapple. Me and Amy were thinking of making a quiz about what would you name your pineapple? but ms.gadye says it needs to be more normal, like what fruit are you? ( which is kinda boring but we'll probably do it anyway)

perhaps later we'll post what would you name your pineapple? because people deserve to know

hello LOWELL!

Okay, so today i went to Lowell hs on a shadow.
Let me just say, VERY DIFFERENT then middle school.
Lowell seemed so nice, calm, and relaxed.
Everyone was working, happy, and friendly.
Green lawns to eat lunch at, off campus lunch
Something that DID NOT work for me though was
the waking up, and the strange scheudualing
It is still my number one choice hs thoough!
-G

G....... and whats up next

When G comes back, perhaps she'll write about her experience shadowing at Lowell. There should also be a first draft of my recycling article up late tonight or maybe during third period tomorrow.

Very Spiffy Thing

Ok, everyone, this is possibly the best advice I've gotten from my brother this year - Pandora.com
Soooooooooo spiffy. So basically, first create an account, they're easy and free, then you can start.
Type in the name of an artist or song you really like. Then you create a radio channel of songs of that have the same style, that they think you'll like. If you like it, click on the thumbs up, and they'll play more music like it, if you don't, click on the thumbs down and they won't play it or songs like it.
Example: My two channels are Anna Nalick ( remember, breathe. 2.am.), and thats more alternative, folk influenced pop in general, and
Katy Perry's I kissed a girl Radio station, which plays more rock, R&b, soul, and rap. And if you get on pandora, I can share my stations with you if you want.
ITS LEGAL EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE LISTENING TO TOTALLY BOSS SONGS FOR FREE!!!!

High school help

So, to help people with the application process I'm posting some links
Urban
Gateway
SOTA ( click on auditions and admissions)
Lowell
University
I might post some more later...... and some descriptions of different schools to help you decide where to apply. I definitely recommend shadowing anywhere you're even thinking of going. (Good job, G!!!!)
For most private schools, try to fill out their information request forms, so everyhing will get emailed or mailed to you.

Journalism according to daddy

So I talked to my dad about how SFUSD doesn't want to talk to us. He said that when someone won't talk to a reporter, the journalist should just go after it harder, since they might have something to hide. He also said we should write to the superintendent. I told him that our spiffy journalism teacher (SJT) told us it would probably get us all in trouble with the principal, including herself. And everyone loves SJT. But my dad said that as a government employee, she was obligated to tell us not to, and as journalists, we were obligated to investigate no matter the consequences ( you know, so long as they dont endager my chances at lowell). i tried to point out that this wasn't even my articles, but he kept on going on about how asking questions to the superintendent or school board isn't against the law. well, duh, but its middle school, where they're always arbitrarily enforcing silly and sometimes imaginary rules. and the principal has been known to summon the writers of articles she doesn't like to the office for a lecture. and i mean., sure, they can't really do much more than that, but at the moment i really enjoy the way teachers and counselors are always nice to me. also, if they called my parents........well you can guess how my dad would react. and my mom would be the same. actually, id probably have to stop my dad from yelling at the principal. as my brother has said, some scandal about hoover trying to censor me would just give me something to write college apllication essays about. But seriously, anything I'm not allowed to write about I'll just post here.

WHERE IS G?!?

Wondering? She's at Lowell!
Shadowing today! Having fun without you!
Haha, just kidding
Anyway
Give my regards to journalism
Oh, and tell Sinead I am SINCERLY sorry I will be missing the Ms. Dong interview!
Sorry from the pitless bottom of my broken heart!

Jobs

So say you have a tiny allowance but you love to shop? (or you have a normal allowance but you REALLY like to shop, especially at expensive stores)
You need money.
Sadly, due to various government regulations, you can't get a normal teenage job like starbucks, crossroads, jamba juice, etc, until your 16, or 14 with a worker's permit. So what CAN you do?
Honestly, the first job most people get is babysitting. you tend to earn about 5 to 10 and hour babysitting, depending on who you're working for. An depending on who, that can be a great deal or a total ripoff. Some kids are angels. Some are demonchildren.
Another option that I myself have ventured into at late has been tutoring. Of course, as an eighth grader, there's a limited amount of kids I can actually help. So at the moment I'm tutoring a very sweet 4th grader. It's a lot more interesting than babysitting, the homework I'm helping with is extremeley easy, and good times are had by all. And it pays rather well, too. Note*I would not recommend tutoring if you yourself get bad grades. That's just hypocritical. ~M

Whaty?!

Okay I know I'm not supposed to be blogging
considering i have HOMEWORK!
And I know I'm not supposed to be talking about stupid random things.
(Pineapples are random not stupid)
BUT
I don't appreciate a sneeze in the face.
I just had to let that out.

High Schools

Ok, eighth graders, i don't know about you but this whole high school thing is stressful! I mean, we are all going to be separated from our friends, GOSH!

SFUSD WON'T TALK TO US

Myself and E, researching for her story on late buses, ran into some serious problems when we tried to contact the transportation department. First we got the receptionist. He wouldn't talk once he heard we were reporters, and he transfered us to a supervisor. The supervisor also clammed up at the mention of E's article, and transfered us to the director, Dennis Garden, who wan't there, so we left a message and got transfered back to the receptionist. We did tis about 5 times before they'd even give us the directors name. Why are they so afraid of a student newspaper? Then again, maybe its just confusion. I'm not trying to be a conspiracy theorist.
~M

m would like me to mention that blog posts on pineapple and other scrumptious things are not going to be regular, and that there will be more serious blog posts

we'll see about that

HAPPY BELATED BI-SEXUALITY DAY!!!!

HAPPY BELATED BI-SEXUALITY DAY!!!!
I know right?! That is a wonderful un-known holiday!

No one told me! I didn't see any, NOT ONE gay pride flag, or "Happy Bi Day!" banner hanging!
What a dissapointment at our middle school...

THE UBER SPIFFY PINEAPPLE EDITORIAL
By Amy Char and Adriana Millar

You are amazed by the item in front of you. Its marvelous, beautiful texture and the smooth green spikes, you are completely transfixed by the sensational fruit. Egad! Throughout the day, you watch it progress through its stages of life. It is cut up, thrown into a bowl and quickly devoured. You are enthralled by the savory piece of delectable fruit as you run your tongue over it. But wait! Why is your tongue in pain? Nevertheless, you indulge in this alluring fruit. You chew and chew, jumping up in glee when the scrumptious juice explodes in your mouth. When it has all been devoured, you sadly sit down, wondering how long it’ll take you to cut the next pineapple up.
