My story, chapter 2 – Is it good ?:)?

Here is my second chapter of a story I am writing about a girl who can control nature, and this is what is leading up to her discovering her powers, but she ‘discovers’ them in a less cheesy sounding way!! =’D
— PLEASE, do not copy or use any of my ideas, as I have worked hard at this and would not like them to be copied — And if you can reply, can you state what age you think my writing would be? and what you think of it ?:))) Thanks!

Jobs in Portland, OR?

I need a job making at least 15.00/hr (so that’s 30K / year). I am educated, smart, and still going to school for my masters (which I don’t tell potential employers). Any suggestions? I really don’t care what the field is but I would love to do some non-profit, state, county, or city work.

My rubber plant is getting rather leggy. Is this normal?

My rubber plant (probably ficus elastica) seems healthy and is growing new leaves, but it has been losing its lower leaves one at a time for some time now. It’s starting to look more like a tree than a bush. Is this normal?

i need opinions…negative or positive..on my novel…and please be specific…like whats good and bad..?

my story is a romance with mystery and fantasy ….based on a group of friends….and they are all connected…we have jake and rosealine best friends(who are too stubborn to admit feelings to eachother)…johann and delilah…evelyn and lucas…and annabelle and ash…and nate…they all go this school because the government needs some of the population to evacuate…now i called it the clearance..so please help me think of a new name…and they end up getting chosen…thats really the main problem in the story but..the story itself is based on souls and love…the group of friends and their other except nate cuz he wants to be with rose and tries to kill jake because of rose and also because jakes parents created the clearance…so its about souls…and if you are from jake and delilahs world you develop tattoos…and wen u r soully bonded with someone.. you can feel their emotions…and if the bond is strong enough…you will die along with your other half…and you will develop tattoos if you are soully bonded…and these tattoos are just intricate designs…and soo they end up falling in love…adn then they get chosen for the clearance…adn then they try to escape…and they all go to jakes world…because since they were all soully bonded with sumone….when they were demasked (which is machine you stepthrough to show ur true self…because in the worldthey were in…jake and delilah had to hide thier tattos..and so did the rest eventually)…the government saw the tattoos so they took them over there…and then theres escape scene.and goodbye scene..and then the epilogue where they write each other letters….to remind them of their memories…because when you get chosen to go to clearance you get ur memory erased…and the story leaves off with evelyn and lucas who are soul suckers and friends with the group of them follow them into the world…with their memories intact with the intention of reuniting them..and then ill have the sequel…and in my story i alternate points of view between everyone but nate..its pretty complicated and im already on page 95…and there are lots of lies and betrayals…and a quite a bit of pain physical and emotional….and i dnt know wat the title shud be yet (any ideas with that?) so wat u think?
well…my prologue just explains the meaning of soully bonded..and they are all just Beings…from different worlds…its sorta like different cultures…no aliens…or none of them look different..they all look like humans and are…they just have different traditions and stuff…and they are being evacuated because the leader of the government wants to capture them and lock them away because they are the sons and daughters of important people involved in the creation of the clearance…and they need to make sure that they dnt know that because if they do…the leader can be killed…because all the leader wants was jakes mother…he fell inlovewith her….and since jake..is friends with everyone and soully bonded with rosie…the leader wants to use them to get to jake who will get him to jakes mom who will hopefully give herself up to save her son and future daughter-in-law..
and the real meaning of this book is the extraordinary extent that people will go to gain love. and i do have a timeline…first i have rose and jake go through problems and then end up falling in love and same for the other couples…and then the cages come down and they get chosen for the clearance…then i willhave the escape that doesn’t work…and then the airplane scene where they write letters…and then i have the airportscene when they say goodbye…thenn the memory removal…andthen evelyn andlucas following them…o and i forgot to mention tht…the government tells the world which is earth…that the reason the clearance is happenin is because its overpopulated…and the clearance was createdfor that…but it wasjust to capture jake…because he couldnt find him…he was hidden by his mom..
and thnk you for that website…itsgreat imma call it..the intertwining of souls.

Alright so I had a super weird dream, and I really want to know what it means…?

Alright so i dreamt last night that my mom and I lived in a house, and we had an old lady that was our neighbor and my mom and I and her were friends (The old lady’s house entrance door was mad of wood and had glass sidepanels which had roses on them sort of like climbing roses but not exactly and she always had her door open with incense.), and I walked home from school one day, and she told me to go over to her, so I did and when I did her eyes were only showing white (like the undertaker) and she tells me to tell my mom to burn it (I don’t know what) while she can in the vase, I told her to come with me and tell my mom but then she looked outside looked at the roses on the door and told me that she couldn’t go farther than where she was, so I ran home and I told my mom, apparently my mom knew what she had meant. In our house we had a room that was holy with a lot of bibles in it, she took a vase and went into that room with it I went with her, she put rubbing alcohol and hydrogen peroxide in the vase and she put something else in it and she lit a lighter about 3 feet above and the fire lit the contents of the vase on fire it slowly went down and the sides where there was hydrogen peroxide and rubbing alcohol were gone, there was only a panel of hydrogen peroxide and alcohol burning now, the smoke formed something behind the vase, and that thing started to smell the smoke. I fainted and when I woke up again my mom was waking me up and she took me to high school, I was a sophomore (right now I’m an 8th grader, 13 years old and I’m a guy, so 2 years had passed) then I was talking to all of my friends and they laughed at what I said and we all laughed at what we said, and then we all ate together, and I came home I did my homework and I fell asleep, then when I woke up again it was a week later (I looked at the calendar on the wall) but when I got to school everyone had changed but me, I had a little bit longer hair and I was skinnier but my personality and everything else hadn’t changed about me, but everyone else had, I remember that my friend the week before when I had talked to her and eaten with her that she had her hair like shoulder length and it was completely blond and not very …. voluptuous and then the week later, she had her hair down to her elbows and it was blond and brown and super voluptuous.

You guys will never guess what happened, I thought I saw the sweetest thing………?

so today my and my significant other went to the park for a casual walk. It is pretty nice out today and we were together celebrating Valentines day right. Well my guy got me a dozen roses and the cutest teddy bear, I was so impressed. Well, I set the gifts on the park bench next to me , thinking they would be safe since I live in an all white area.
About 30 minutes later I saw this black couple walking by and got a little nervous to be honest (who doesnt with blacks near them right?) when the black man got down on his knee and presented the woman with a dozen roses. I was surprised to see a black man giving something to a woman besides an STD or a bastard child. I smiled at how cute it was. Then he reach behind him again and pulled out a cute teddy bear. It was then I realized the bear looked oddly familiar. I looked next tome and realized my gifts were gone and that the gifts he gave here were MINE!!! I didnt even see the sneaky sucker take them. I stood up and demanded he return them when the woman screamed “RACIST, DAT IS RACIST” and she took off for the hills. I considered chasing her down, but in the long run……..the fact they had ran out of my neighborhood seemed good enough for me. Why did this happen to me?
If you see a heavy set black woman with this bear, please call the police.

How to Handle a Shy Chilean Rose Tarantula?

I recently purchased my first tarantula. Now, I have had family members and friends with them, though the others were pink-toe or mexican orange-knee, and have handled them just fine. This particular Rose is very young, her leg span is maybe 3.5 inches. I bought her from a small, non-specialty pet shop with a good reputation for their exotics, and the clerk/caregiver I spoke to said she handled my girl about once a week with no problem.
After what I will admit was a bumpy ride home, which I’m sure was traumatizing, I decided not to attempt to touch her for a day or two. Two days later, I tried gently, slowly placing my hand on the bedding in front of her. She proceeded to twitch and jump sideways, frightened. I waited about 9 hours. I tried again. She skittered post-haste to the other side of the tank and started climbing the wall. I waited a day, and placed my hand down. Same reaction.
In order to remove her from the tank to place her on the counter for some pictures, I lifted her up on a large dinner spoon. She secreted a thick, bluish-clear liquid from her mouth, at which point I returned her and gave up on photos.
One of my favorite things about tarantulas is the fuzzy, funny feeling of one walking across your arm or shoulder. Having a non-handleable tarantula is not what I paid for.
Is this a phase? Did I do something? What should I do?
