"Speak not of such things, for they are but bad memories. Come, my dear, and smile for me, for that will be the memory which I will want to keep."

"Sometimes a smile in a person's eyes can be worth more than any words that they can say."

"You know... this is a good lesson for all of us. You never know who's in the chicken suit."


Don't you just love quotes? All of these above are quotes by me. I like to write quotes, it's one of the things I write, along with my poems and songs. But I also like quotes from other people.

"Don't worry eighth graders, there's a special place in my foot for you." -Kip Saunders


Here's some Stuckiisms!


Stucki: You guys should really take notes of things I say.
Riley: Should... Take... Notes...

Stucki: (Getting a note from the office.) Rachel, you need counsling.
(Getting another note from the office.) Alex!
Samgee: Does he need counsling, too?
Riley: Maybe... he sits behind Rachel...

Stucki: Las Vegas... is a waste of real estate.
Ty: How? It's in the middle of Nevada.
Stucki: No, it's on the edge of Nevada. Everything in Nevada is on the edge, because there's nothing in the middle.
Anastasia: Cactuses refuse to live there...
Ty: Okay, but still. It's in Nevada.

Stucki: Oh, by the way... if your essay has a hole in it, it either means it bugged the crap out of me... or it was under one that bugged the crap out of me.

Stucki: Don't put "hopefully" in your essay.
Ty: There is no hope in Stucki's class.

Samgee: How do you spell "Takami"?
Stucki: I-D-I-O-T

Stucki: For all you know, Saunders is a big dork.
Jarom: There's nothing wrong wtih being a dork.
Stuck: Says the dork.

Jarom: Okay, am I just completely stupid or what?
Everyone around: Yes.

Paige: Mr. Stucki, if I wasn't such a Molly Mormon I would really want to flip you off right now!

I'm thankful for Quotes!

Auuggghhhh!!!! I'm a horrible poster! I hope you all don't hate me, but if you do, I see it your way. I did a ton of things the past few weeks... We went to the Annual Hall Family Reunion Campout (You did what without me??- Summer Derieg), then we went to Hope of Isreal camp, (Team Teancum! Over the Wall! Into the Tent! Mission Accomplished!) Then we went to Education Week (It's a Magical Night, Anything can Happen! - John Bytheway) And I got to be a mentor and help all the seventh graders on Orientation day! (I'm going to eat you, you little Sevvies! -Evan Perez) And then we went back to school. (I wish I could steal peoples' souls by looking them in the eyes... -Mr. Stucki). He he. I love quotes.

Atra Esterni Ono Thelduin!

Heyo! I'm back from Wyoming, where I went to the Teton High Adventure Base for our Stake Varsity and Venturing Scout Camp! How's that for a first line? Anyway, it was really fun. First, we got there after a 5-hour drive and had a River Orientation. Then we had Lunch. They had surprisingly good food there. We had Chicken Sandwiches, Hamburgers, Meatball sandwiches, Egg Rolls, French Toast, Steak, (This was over the course of three days, not one meal!) and more. After lunch we went to White Water Rafting. That was fun! We had eleven people in a raft, 8 rowers, one guide, one person that just sat in the middle, and one person that got to sit on the very front of the boat and take all the rapids head-on. (Or Legs-on, as they were the parts that hit the rapids.) We all took turns doing that. We had a really cool guide. We called him Captain Jack. One part of the Rapids was called the Champagne Rapids. There were all these bubbles in the water after them, and he told us it felt cool to stick your feet in. 3 people did, and then he snuck up and pushed them off the edge of the boat. It was really funny, especially because one of them was someone we were trying to get to get in the water anyway. We all jumped in of our own accord except him.

The next day we did what was called a C.O.P.E. Course. (Challenging Outdoor Personal Experience, I think.) First was the Lower Cope course, which included this one challenge where there were ten tire swings between two platforms, and we had to get 20-something people across, but at one point we had to have everyone on a tire. That meant that we had to have 3 people on most of the tires! It was difficult, but it was fun. Then there was the High Cope Course, which was a bunch of metal wires strung between tall, wobbly poles, and we had to go across each of the different challenges on these metal wires. Did I mention that the wires were 50 feet in the air? (Honestly, That's a guess, not a fact. They were pretty high.) That was way difficult. But I had fun doing it, even if my legs couldn't stop shaking... My mom asked me if I learned anything about myself on the Cope Courses. I said "Yeah, I have almost no Upper Body Strength!" I guess I'm more of a kicker than a climber... I can kick a football or a kickball pretty far, but I can't climb up a pole! And apparently we now have a motto. Every once and a while Brother Astel (??? on spelling) would say something like "If you had died, it would have been a glorious death!" And then we'd all yell "Glorious Death!" It was funny. I changed it a bit to make a summary of the camp. I got the first part from the guy who did Orientation, and though he never said it, he might as well have.

"Fifty Percent of you won't come back alive. Fifty percent of those won't even come back dead. But If you die, it will be a Glorious Death! Glorious Death!"

The last day we got up early to go to Canoeing. That was fun, but it wasn't my favorite. We had to kneel in the boats for maximum stability when going through the rapids, and my legs were really, really sore by the end. I was also deathly afraid of falling or swamping into a rapid, so I was freaked out. One of the other groups went through a big rapid, and their boat filled with water. I looked and thought "Two boats swamped on that one... Wait... Calvin and Brother Nelson are still in their boat!" It was funny, their boat was totally submerged, and they were still sitting in it. Kenyon and Marshal hit a rock and knocked one of their screws loose, so they had a small hole in their boat the entire way. Good thing we brought out own Bail Buckets!

That afternoon we went on a hike, which was pretty boring considering what we had done the past two days. On the way down, we met a guy in a wheel chair being pushed and carried up the rocky trail. We helped him up the next ridge, and then continued. We knew with all the steep rocks, he probably wouldn't make it to the top, but we didn't want to tell him that, did we? Too bad we didn't meet him on the way up, then we could have helped him to the top.

So all in all, I had a lot of fun.
