Fun Fun

Okay since I started going to public school, things have been different. I have learned what not to say and how to look, the whole 9 yards. The thing that has really hit me is how racist some people are. I never really knew. This is what you learn when you go to public school.
Anyway on a happier note, I was elected student of the month for my school. It was only because I was new and I had gotten straight A’s no problem. Unfortunately you get made fun of for that too. Why does everything go to this?
Well I am very excited for Christmas. Last year I made a poem for Christmas, that you can look at in the older posts section, I am not sure what I am going to do for this year. There are many possibilities and I do not which to pick. Send me a word of advice please!
26 days until Christmas
Halloween

So I was a modern vampire for Halloween!
Okay so Halloween is my favorite holiday! I mean free candy, who wouldn’t love it?!?!?!?!?! So the picture above is the day of my Halloween party. I was a modern vampire. I was a vampire from Cirque Du Freak. It is a book series along with a movie that just recently came out.
Ronin was Aragorn from Lord of the Rings
Ronin had a really fun time. He was really mad when people thought he was a wizard but other than that he had a great time.
We all went as a group Trick or Treating
From left to right; Aragorn, a knight, me, a ninja, and Harry Potter.
So anyway that was basically our night.
Woot Woot

So yesterday I got to have my very first sailing lesson! It was so much fun. I never knew there were so many different parts on a sailboat such as:
jeez 30 parts and this is a basic sailboat
The sailboat diagram above shows the parts of a sailboat labeled with a number. These numbered parts are each described below.
1. Forestay: The rigging that runs from the bow of the boat to the mast that the jib is attached to.
2. Jib Halyard: The line that is used to raise the jib. It is attached to the jib’s head, runs up to the mast, through a pulley and down the mast to a cleat at the bottom of the mast.
3. Jib’s Head: The top corner of the jib. This is the corner of the sail that is attached to the jib halyard.
4. Jib’s Leech: The after edge of the jib.
5. Jib’s Luff: The forward edge of the jib that is attached to the forestay.
6. Jib: The smaller sail toward the bow of the boat.
7. Jib’s Clew: The lower after corner that attaches to the jib sheets.
8. Jib’s Foot: The bottom edge of the jib.
9. Deck: The top flat surface of the boat.
10. Bow: The front of the boat.
11. Keel: A vertical fin that is weighted and that acts as a counterweight that offsets the force of the wind that is pushing the boat sideways.
12. Jib Sheet: The lines that are attached to the jib’s clew that are used to trim the sail.
13. Hull: The body of the boat.
14. Main Sheet: The lines that are attached to the mainsail’s clew that are used to trim the sail.
15. Stern: The back of the boat.
16. Rudder: The vertical steering foil attached to the stern of the boat.
17. Tiller: The wooden arm that is used to control the direction the rudder is turned.
18. Boom: The horizontal bar (or spar) that is attached to the foot of the mainsail.
19. Eyelet: The circular hole that is at each corner of the sails that is used to attach lines to the sail or to attach the sail to the mast or boom.
20. Main Clew: The lower after corner that attaches to the mainsail sheets.
21. Main Foot: The bottom edge of the mainsail.
22. Main Tack: The lower forward corner of the mainsail.
23. Shroud: The rigging that runs from the top portion of the mast to the side of the boat. This prevents the mast from leaning too far to the side.
24. Main Leech: The after edge of the mainsail.
25. Main Luff: The forward edge of the mainsail that is attached to the mast.
26. Mainsail: The sail that is hoisted up the mast and attached to the boom.
27. Batten: A plastic or wooden slat that is attached to the sail that prevents the sail from losing its shape.
28. Main Head: The top corner of the mainsail. This is the corner of the sail that is attached to the main halyard.
29. Main Halyard: The line that is used to raise the mainsail. It is attached to the mainsail’s head, runs up to the mast, through a pulley and down the mast to a cleat at the bottom of the mast.
30. Mast: The long vertical spar that runs up the center of the boat and to which the sails are attached.
This sailboat diagram is of a typical sloop. This is a great boat to start with when learning to sail.
Sorry cheesy I know but this is the label it came up with that was the easiest to learn. Anyway so tomorrow we are actually going to go out into the ocean a bit of the way and we are also working on capsize recover.
Peace out people!
A puzzle that’s fun and hard
Posted by: Rhi on: June 8, 2009
Alright so here’s a puzzle that I need you guys to figure out! Just leave a comment as your answer okay? Let’s begin….
The king was murdered in the round castle Friday night. Figure out who did it. The queen couldn’t have because she was having tea with a friend. The princess couldn’t because she was having a sleepover. The prince couldn’t because he was sword fighting with a friend. The maid couldn’t because she was cleaning the corners of the castle. The chef couldn’t because he was preparing a feast, and the king didn’t kill himself. Who killed the king? I will collect the answers on Friday. Enjoy!
I’m so excited I just can’t hide it!

Yesterday I was so silly not to buy batteries for my camera when I went to the Zoo! I didn’t realize there were so many types of birds here! It’s amazing. Well we only really went to the Zoo because it was military appreciation day and all military families got in for free and also got free ice cream! How totally awesome!(again) I don’t think we are doing anything today really except chillin out and being a family. I may go down to the park and play Capture the Flag today. Tomorrow dad goes back to work and I have sailing lessons. That’s gonna be fun. Then Tuesday I have Hip Hop Lessons and on Wednesday I have sailing lessons again. Ronin has Taekwondo on Monday and Wednesday nights. Next week is going to be crazy!
