"Describe outdoor living to someone who lives in an apartment in the city"


Basically, outdoor living is like a living room outside:

“Kimberly, what’s outdoor living?”
“It’s a living room outside.”
“So the living room outside?”
“Yes... I mean no.”
“Then what is it?”
“Its just furniture outside in your patio.”
“What’s a patio?”
“Didn’t you just ask me what outside living is?”
“But I live in an apartment in the city so...”
“Ugh... a patio is an area, usually paved, adjoining a house and used as an area for outdoor lounging, dining, etc. which is where outdoor living comes from.”
“So what’s outdoor living?”
“Weren’t you paying attention to the first sentence I said?!”
“You said it was a living room!”
“Outside, dammit!”
“So, what’s outside?”
“The furniture!”
“What kind of furniture?”
(Finally a normal question!)”The basic stuff.”
“Like?”
“Like, a sofa, dining table and chairs--”
“I thought you said it is a living room outside.”
“Let me finish!”
“Okay.”
“Anyway, it has a sofa, dining table and chairs, rugs, and--”
“You can put rugs outside?!”
“Ugh... yeah?”
“I didn’t know that.”
“..............What city are you from again?”
“Oh New York.”
“O......kay...... so yeah... outdoor living...”
“Yeah.”
“So yeah, outdoor living is really nice.”
“Really?”
“Yeah.”
“Can I see a picture of it?”
“Sure. Here it is.”















“..................”
“What? You don’t like it?”
“That’s my patio! It looks pretty on photo!”
I leave the studio in silence and hop into my car. I close the car door and drove off.
“What? Was it something I said? I guess not. Time to drink tea on my patio!”

"If you were a doctor, what kind of doctor would you be?"

I would be a eye doctor because I wear glasses and I don't like the rest of the doctors on the list. I would work on people eyes, telling then whether they need glasses or laser eye surgery. I would at least make my job more fun like instead of rushing the clild, have fun by playing eye game or whatever and the patient would calm down or won't get nervous.

"Imagine you were twenty feet tall."

Life would horrible if I was twenty feet tall. I wouldn't be able to fit anywhere! Not my house, any store, not even my own bed! I would have to get everything custom made by AWESOME designers and have a large serving of everything! And most of all, I won't be able to sleep in my awesome bed... man, life would be horrible if I was twenty feet tall.... good thing I'll only 5'7''. Phew!

"Describe one thing you're really good at."


     I have many qualities and talents that I like, but my personal talent is to draw. I love to draw because my drawing talent makes me proud of whom I am. This talent expresses my feelings and dreams on paper. This talent is special because I sometimes show my pictures to my friends and family and they say that I draw well. I’m able to duplicate any picture; I look at any picture and I can copy it exactly. I love to draw comic books because it expresses how funny I am. I enter a lot of competitions or send my art to this website called Deviant ART to show the world that I draw pretty well for my age. All people can draw if they set their minds to it. A quote I read from a book said, ‘If you can write your name, then you can draw anything.’ Some people don’t believe this because they don’t set their minds to this, but I do. Drawing is a perfect way to express myself because some things might be difficult to say in the open, but putting my feelings on paper is the perfect way for other people, like therapists, to understand.
     I only have accomplished a small drawing competition so far, but it feels like I did a lot. In the 8th grade, I entered the annual Cesar Chavez Art competition. A few days after, the school announced the winner. I was surprised when the winner was I. I felt happy and proud of myself at the same time. I thought that I was going to lose because there were some good artists I competed with. But I didn’t lose and this made me feel good about myself. I know that I can do anything and this competition made realize my mistake. I shouldn’t keep my art to myself and not show others. This competition made me realize that there are people out there, eager to see what young artists, like me, have to show off.
     This personal talent of mine makes me proud because I believe that this maybe can get me through life. I love the fact that many people love what I do and it makes me feel special and good about myself. This relates to the person I am because I’m creative and it reflects a lot about my personality, my dreams, and my life. It shows that I am outgoing, creative, and happy. Even when someone’s mad or sad, I will try to cheer him or her up and it always work. I always believe in myself, try hard, and do my best. This is how my drawing talent relates to me now.

"Invent a new kind of sandwich."

To invent a new kind of sandwich, now that's hard. Lets see... I would get chopped up grilled chicken, lettuce, and diced tomatoes and put those between two pieces of bread and there you have it folks, Grilled Chicken Salad Sandwich. I would first get two pieces of bread. Then, get the grilled chicken ready and diced it up and put on one side. Then get the lettuce and diced tomatoes and put it with the diced grilled chicken and put the other half of the bread together and serve that sandwich to me because I'm hungry right now.

"Think of a time when you've won something."

I remember that when i was in the 10th grade, my class and I went to run a marathon for some kind of cause, I don't remember. Anyway, when we got back, our p.e. teacher, Ms. McKinnion, said to put our racer numbers in a box because we participated in the race so we deserve a raffle. So the raffle began and the prizes were going away one by one. Soon, all that was left was two iTunes cards, one gift card, and two canisters. I started to think that I would never win, then Ms. McKinnion called my number. I was really happy and surprised because I never won anything in my teen life. I went up and choose the iTunes card and I used it for a couple of songs on iTunes.

"Remember the time you were delude by a superpower..."

When I was young little girl, I used to think that I had the power of super smell. I used to concentrate on the air and try to smell what was in the air. One time, my mom's friend was over the house and my mom was cooking spaghetti. I was upstairs and I could smell the food cooking. I went downstairs and told my mom's friend I can smell the food. She said that you have a good smell because she was sitting at the table and she can't smell a thing. I was so happy so I started to think that I had the power to smell things. Now that I'm older, that was a very silly thing to do. Me with superpower? As if!

"Which superpower would you most like to have...?"

I would have the power of fire because I'm always in the heat. I always wanted the power of fire since I was 5 and I stick to that superpower for like forever. If I have the power of fire, I wouldn't have to use the stove anymore oh and stop the thieves and evil people.

"If you could spend an afternoon with one member of your extended family..."

If I have to choose which family member, then I would choose my uncle, William. Uncle William is my mom's brother, who lives in Belize. I never saw him my entire life, so I would love to meet him just once. We would probably talk about us and have fun like showing him everywhere thats fun.

"Would you want to visit the moon?"

Yeah, I'll like to visit the moon because over there is so cool. I mean, gravity over there is so awesome. I want to float and do cartwheels and other tricks I would love to do. Yes, I would go to the moon for that one reason only, oh and make my footprint visible on the moon, so the next astronaut can find it.

"Describe several ways a person your age can earn money."

Well I would get a job at different stores like AJWright, Ralph's, or Yogurtland,  advertise different products like face cream. I would also sell stuff like Helens Grace Chocolate bars and See's Candies and/ or model for clothing lines if I'm interested in that kind of things.

"Describe your favorite season."

My favorite season is summer and spring. I love the summer because I can have fun in the sun, Playing with water, going over friends' houses and stuff. Summer is also the season with my birthday in there so I love Summer for that. I also love Spring because it's cool and I enjoy the newly fresh flowers that open up from the rain.

"If you can be on any game show..."

If I could be on any game show it would be Deal or No Deal:

The crowd is cheering and I'm smiling. I have two choices on the board, 200,000 dollars and 1,000,000 dollars. (We all know how the game plays, if not google it please) The host, Howie Mandel, smiles along with me. Suddenly, the room goes red and Howie picks up a cell phone. I knew who he was talking to. The banker. The guy who tries to buy your special suitcase in trade for a lot of money. I smirked as I remember how I rejected 99,000. Yes, that was a lot of money but I'm still playing now. Howie gets off the phone and turns to me.
"Kimberly, you got to think about this now. This is your final offer."
"Yeah, wow," I smiled.
"This offer is guaranteed," he said as he circles around me. "It's huge."
"I believe that."
"You ready?"
"Yeah."
"561,000!"
The crowd woos loudly as I gasped at the large amount of money. I could buy that new car I wanted. The crowd is clapping and cheering as I start to think Deal or No Deal. To the far right side of me, my mom and two of my friends are cheering me on.
"Ok, hold on, " I said, pointing my finger at my mom, who is waiting to speak to me.
"Hold on, lets hear want she wants to say," said Howie as he calms the crowd down.
My mom looks at me and says, "Kimberly, you been envisioning this! You brought this whole thing about! You call every one of those! You know the millions in the suitcase, you can't lose! You're going to be the first million dollar winner, I guaranteed that!"
The crowd cheers some more as one of my friends start to speak.
"You know, I am the most conservative person when it comes to this game---"
"I know."
"--- But I have to agree with your mom in this rare occasion. NO DEAL!!"
The cheers cheers as I turn to Howie.
"So for the final time tonight, I ask Kimberly, Deal or No Deal?"
I looked at the game board. "That is a lot of money right there, but I'm going to have to say..... NO DEAL,YA'LL!!!!" I slammed the clear cover holding the red button and started screaming and cheering with the crowd. The room suddenly turned orange.
"OMG, what did I do?" I said laughing.
"Ok, now I'm going to ask you another question. Ok gusty lady, you just turned down a half million dollars----"
"Oh my gosh..."
"561,000."
"That is a lot of money!"
"It is."
"Yes!"
"How does it feel? What are you thinking?"
I paused and pointed at my suitcase. "I want to open this!"
"Well, the question is 'do you want to swamp it?"
"No way!"
"No?"
"Yeah that's right, no!"
"One is worth 200, 000 dollars and the other is worth a million dollars . So you're going home with your case."
The crowd claps and cheers for me. I turned to the crowd and smiled my biggest smile yet."Ya'll ready to see history?" The crowd goes into an uproar and I turned to Howie, waiting for him to open the case.
"Kimberly Tillett, one is worth 200,000 and the other is worth a million.You have gone all the way, you turn down every offer, you are going home with what's in your case. Your case is worth....."
Tension filled the air. I can hear my heart beating so fast, I can't stop it. Did I ever think about did I make the wrong choice? Sometimes, yeah. But in the end, it all paid off.
".......1,000,000 DOLLARS!!!!!!"
My eyes widen as I started to scream. I won a million dollars! OH MY GOD, THIS IS AMAZING!!! Confetti, family, and friends surrounded me as the crowd is yelling and screaming along with me.

"What do you like best about your home?"

The one part of the my house that I like best is my living room. I like the living room best because it has a warm, vivid color like brown and gold. I t looks like a mansion but in a small house. I sit the couch and I just lay there and think about nothing. My living room makes me want to stare off in space because it relaxes me in a deep slumber.

"Imagine you worked at a football stadium.."

If I worked at a football stadium, I would be the coach of some team because I like to yell at people and make them feel the burn. Teach them until they can't learn anymore, he he. Yeah a coach would be fun to be for a team, wearing nice jerseys and whatever else you want to wear.

"How old were you four years ago?"

Four years age, I was thirteen years old. I was in middle school back then, and I was small. Now that I'm seventeen, I can watch rated R movies and partially do anything I want, excluded the part about staying out late. I could never do that when I was thirteen.

"Do you think a monkey would make a good pet?"

No way! A monkey would make a horrible pet! First of all, they stink and second, they'll make a huge mess in the house. There is no way I would have a monkey for a pet. I rather have a dog than a monkey, yeah dogs are cool.

"Describe the youngest person you know."

The youngest person I know is my little cousin, Sebastian. He has baby skin, brown curly hair and brown eyes. He's seven years old and is mixed with White and Belizean. He also loves to dance.

"Describe the oldest person you know."

The oldest person I know is my mom's old friend, Ms. Lilly Humes. She is African American and going to be 82 years old next week. She has white and grey hair and always wear bright clothes. She lost her husband in the year 2009 but she always stays strong.

"Imagine you were a wonderful painter..."

If I have the opportunity to paint my bedroom walls, I would paint each wall a different picture. Wall one, I would paint Sonic the Hedgehog because he is my favorite anime character. So I'll paint him his usual colors, blue spikes, green eyes, and his signature red sneakers. Wall two: I would paint Toshiro Hitsugaya from Bleach because he is also my favorite anime character. Wall three: I would paint NiGHTS from SEGA because she is awesome, enough said. The last wall, I would paint my own character, Dawn the Wolf because she represents me.
























































"The Bat Who Couldn't Fly"

If you make a turn around the second cliff, you would a cave filled with bats. Not just any bats, flying bats. Everyday, these bats fly in and out of the cave, enjoying the wind in their wings. All but one. That one bat's name was Ally and he was one unlucky bat. For one, he couldn't fly for nothing. He tried and tried but he couldn't stay in the air for not even an second. The other bats pity Ally and helped him multiple times, but he just couldn't fly. Until now.....

"Ok! One more time!" Ally said as he jumped from a huge rock. He flapped his wings really hard, but he couldn't stay in the air. Instead, he came crashing down.

"Wwwwwaaaaahhhhhh!"

Ally landed in a pile of sand and dirt. He sat up and wiped his face as tears clouded his eyes.

"I'll never be able to fly..." he sniffed.

"What's wrong?"

Ally jumped and looked up. In front of him was a human girl. She has brown hair, blue eyes, and was wearing jumpers. She scooped up Ally and settled him on the big rock he jumped from. She stooped down in front of Ally. "What's wrong?" the girl repeated.

"N-Nothing really... It's just that I can't really fly very well, that's all..."

"Wait right here!" said the girl as she ran back to her camp place. Soon, she came back with something in her hand. "Here."

"What is it?"

"It's a paper plane. It make you fly!" she smiled as she scooped up Ally and put him into the plane. Soon, the wind picked him up and he was sailing in the sky. Ally couldn't believe it! It feels good flying!

"Bye little bat!" cried the girl as she waved at Ally. Ally waved back and thank the girl in his heart. For now, he was enjoying himself flying over the horizon.

"Ten Haiku Poems"

It keeps falling down
The rain on a cloudy day
Always make me cry.


My anger will roar
My wrath will strike as lightning
Roaring like thunder.


Confusion is a
Walk on the dark side of town
While you’re all alone.


When I got locked up, 
I felt the rage for the world
Like a hurricane.


One tear filled with pain
Like my heart filled with absence;
No real tears again.



Winter freezes trees
Like hate freezes the young heart
And turns your love cold.



The darkness inside
It's living in a broken heart,
Now it's killing me



Alone in a crowd
I weep bitter, stinging tears
Love is not at hand.


The past won't let go
An ugly scar that won't fade
So you'll never forget


Blood sprinkles my face
From someone not dear to me
Yet I watch and cry



"If you could have lunch with any famous person..."

If I could met any famous person for lunch, 
it would be Jung Ji-Hoon also known as Rain.
I would love to have lunch with him because
he is my favorite singer and actor. I would 
probably ask him does he like his job, his life 
story, and other things too. Man, I wish I 
could met him right now. <3    :3


"Do you have any brothers and sisters?"

Yes, I have two brothers, who is nine years old
 and the other is 12 years old. The nine years old's
name is Arthur Tillett. He has brown hair and
brown eyes and he likes to tease people. The
other one is Collett Tillett Jr., but we call him C.J.
for short. He also has brown hair and brown eyes.
 He has Autism but he is funny sometimes. I love
my brothers! <3




"If you could have any animal for a pet..."

If I could have any animal for a pet, it would
be a lion. I love lions because they are the king 
of the jungle and they're fierce. Well, a lion has 
a orange mane and brown body. I would feed it 
meat because that's the lion's favorite food and 
comb its mane until it's shiny and silky and give
it a nice warm bath.

"My Journey on a Pirate Ship"

"There once was pirate named Kenpachi Zaraki, who was the King of the Pirates.
He had fame, power and wealth beyond your wildest dreams.
Before they hung him from the gallows, these were the final words he said.
"My fortune is yours for the taking, but you'll have to find it first. I left everything I own in One Piece.
Ever since, pirates from all over the world set sail for the Grand Line searching for One Piece the treasure that will make their dreams come true."

Yo!

Ya-yo Ya yo!

Dreamin', don't give it up Kimmy.
Dreamin', don't give it up Alice.
Dreamin', don't give it up Amiri!
Dreamin', don't gi-give it up give it up give it up give it up give it-no!

Here's how the story goes we find out, about a treasure in the Grand Line there's no doubt.
The pirates whose eyes on it he'll sing "I'll be King of the Pirates, I'm goin' to be King!"

Ya-yo Ya-yo Ya-yo, uh-oh.
Her name is Kimmy (that's Kimberly , for short)
Goin' to be king of the pirates.

She's blows fire (How did that happen)
Yo-ho-ho, she took a bite of gum-gum

Ya-yo Ya yo

Her name Alice, she's just like a samarai.
And a L.A.D.Y, Amiri's not shy.
Cherise doing that marksman thing, T-san cooking, Alexis doctoring
Ya-yo Ya-yo Ya-yo, uh-oh
Set sail for One Piece, it's the name of the treasure
In the Grand Line.

Ya-yo, Ya-yo set sail for One Piece!


Last time on One Piece, Kimmy and her crew had just settled on a remote island.

"This is crazy..."
"Oh come one! This is were the treasure is hidden!"
".... Inside the cave?"
"Duh!! That's why I vote Alexis to get the treasure!"
"What?! Why me?!"
"...... Your sense of direction, maybe?"
"FINE."
Alexis went inside the cave, her shoulders slump. Few minutes passed and she came back.
"So, did you find it?"
"Yeah..."
She opened her hand and there, in all its glory, was a ....... Hostess Cupcake?!
"WHAT?! This can't be the treasure!"
"Yes it is. It had a sign that said, 'TEASURE'."
"..... really?"
"Yeah."
"That's it, I'm going home..." said Kimmy as she climbed into the boat.
"Hey! You coming or what?!"

THE END!! :)



"Descibe your Deepest Fear..."

My deepest fear would be spiders and clowns.
Spiders becuase they make cringe. Everytime I
see a spider, I just want to squish it, I can't leave
 it alone for some reason. I try to stop but I just
 can't. It makes me feel like a bunch of spiders
are crawling over me, so it gets weird. Clowns,
especially clowns that smile, creep me the hell out.
Just looking at them makes me cling. I have dreams
about clowns chasing me, one in a blue moon, which
is not that often.
 

"If I own my Restuarant.."

If I owned my own restuarant, it would be called, "CinnAngels",
pronounced "cin-na-an-gels". The colors of the restuarant would
be forest green with a hint of brown and yellow. My employeees
would be anyone would is friendly and can handle work and customers.
The restuarant would be a pastry cafe where I will serve different flavors
cakes, cookies, pie, and anything sweet. <3 :)
