Dinner Party
If I could invite any three people to a dinner party, I would have to invite Orlando Bloom, Maximillien Robespierre, and my cousin Taylor. There are different reasons I would like to invite all of them. Either they’re a good actor, was involved with something in history I’ve enjoyed learning about, or just because I want somebody to talk to just in case I don’t have that much in common with the other two people.
Orlando bloom would be on the top of my list of coming to my dinner party for three reasons. One- he’s a good actor, and in movies I like. Two-he’s cute. Three-he has a British accent. You can never be to sure how actors are when they’re not in front of the camera. To me he seems funny, nice, and charming.
Maximillien Robespierre had an influential part in the French Revolution. In social studies we learned about the French Revolution, which was my favorite unit we did. I would invite Maximillien because I would ask him about the certain things he did during the revolution. No matter if they were good or bad. Which most of them weren’t so smart. I would like to see why he chose all the decisions he did. He seemed like a good person before he tried to make himself God. The power just went to his head in my opinion.
You may be thinking why the last person I would take is my cousin when I could take anybody in the world. I would take her because if I didn’t have anything in common with Orlando or Maximillien I would be able to talk to her. She would be there for support. She could ask any questions she wanted. Even though I don’t think she knows who Maximillien Robespierre is, but she definitely would know who Orlando Bloom is. We’d probably have more fun talking to him anyways.
I would enjoy talking to these people over dinner. That’s why I would invite them. I know Taylor is caring, but Orlando I’m not sure. Even though I think he is. I’m pretty sure that Maximillien is not caring considering his killing of people. That’s why I would also like to throw in a body guard just incase.

Ahhh, the Sweet Joy of a Snow Day!
Waking up at 7:30, wondering why I’m still in bed, panicking over the fact that I’m going to be late for school. Then I walk out to the front room and look out the window. I have to close my eyes because the brightness of the sun reflecting on the snow hurts my eyes. My mom was sitting on the adman, right next to the fireplace. She looked to be cooking something in a pot. I thought that was a little strange considering we had a stove, and it worked perfectly fine. My house was much colder that it normally was. I then realized that the electricity was out!
I was excited about the snow day, and knowing I didn’t have to go to school. I wasn’t too thrilled about being stuck in my house all day with out electricity, heat, or a warm meal. I sat down on the couch next to mom by the fire place to get warmed up. My mom was heating up water to make her tea, and some oatmeal for me and my brother when he got home from work. He worked nights at Caterpillar from eleven to seven. I went back into my room to bundle up. I put on my pink polka dotted hat, two long-sleeved shirts, a hoodie, two pairs of tall socks, and my fleece pajama pants. Now that I was considerably warm, I went back to the front room to get by the fire. About ten minutes later I heard the door open and my brother, Josh, come in with his loud obnoxious scream. I also heard somebody else. It was his girlfriend Justine. From then on I knew that this snow day was going to be even more out of the ordinary.
Josh and Justine walked into the front room. Justine was dressed in her clothes she was going to wear to school. I thought that was weird. Josh said that when he called her that morning that she was really awake, and was ready to go get on the bus. My mom and I both laughed because we thought that was hysterically funny. Justine and I are close in age, so we get along quite well. I was lying on the couch, and my brother decided he wanted to as well. My mom walked into the kitchen, and went to the backdoor to let our dogs, Zoey and Gus inside to the “warmth.” Josh cradled Gus in his blanket from his bed and held him. My dog Zoey is pretty huge, and I can’t pick her up so I told her to come lie down by me. So she did after five attempts of trying to get up on the couch. Justine was getting upset because Josh was paying more attention to Gus then to her. We then realized that we had a fold out couch, and we pulled it out so all of us could fit.
The water was finally heated up. My mom got out some bowls and made my brother and me some oatmeal. It was actually really good. My brother decided he needed to take a nap because he was tired. So we went to our bedrooms and got all our blankets and pillows. After we got situated, Josh fell asleep, and we played Madlibs. Justine, me, and my mom played that for awhile, and then we got drowsy, and fell asleep. I texted Faith all morning to see if she had power yet. While I was asleep she texted me saying that her she was hoping her power was going to come on soon because she was excited for the concert we were going to that night. I woke up, and my mom and Justine were making noodles. I was hungry, so they gave me some. They were really good. My mom went back out to the kitchen to get more because my brother just woke up and he was hungry too. My mom fixed the noodles and we ate. We played Madlibs again, and then the electricity came back on. We watched Happy Feet, and fell asleep in the middle of it. I had a lot of fun that day. I got to spend time with my family, stay in bed all day, not get dressed until three thirty, and catch up on my sleep.
