Mory of the Story

Alexa, still confused, complied. Their strangely kind kidnapper untied them both. The two girls followed the woman upstairs and they sat down at the table. The woman came back with plates full of what looked to be wonderful food. There were two extra place settings at the table. The woman laid five plates on the table, two for the girls, one for the woman and two in the empty place settings. Not too long after all the plates were set down, two other girls came in from a different room and sat down at the table. This seemed very strange. Everything seemed so normal but yet everything was so wrong. It seemed like any other night at any other house.
“Hi, I’m Monet,” the stranger on the right said, “and this is my sister Emelina.”
They didn’t look like sisters. Emelina’s nose was much less pointy and didn’t stretch as far as Monet’s. They also had different eye colours. Monet had blue eyes and Emelina had brown eyes. Emelina was much more slim than Monet. Heck, Alexa seemed to look more like Emelina’s sister than Monet did.
“Pleased to meat you,” Alexa replied, “I’m Alexa and this is… Sandra,” the name seemed to linger on her lips. “I only wish we could have met in a better situation.”
Emelina didn’t speak though she seemed content with the current situation.
Alexa was thinking back to earlier that day. If stupid Sylvia hadn’t given that stupid note to stupid, STUPID Sandra, this never would have stupid happened. Stupid me for stupid going on a stupid walk. Stupid mom for not stupid stopping me. Stupid repetitive thoughts. Stupid…
“Something wrong, Alexa?” Monet asked.
Yes, everything’s wrong! Alexa felt like screaming. But instead, she let out a quiet, “No,” coughed and spoke in her normal voice again. “No, I’m fine. I’m just… thinking.”

The part in consecutive order with the 2nd being the third

After that, she woke up in a dark room with a gag around her face and her arms tied together. Alexa noticed someone across the room from her.
Oh joy, Sandra, she thought to herself. She sat there quietly and tried her hardest to squirm out of the knot that was entangling her wrists. The person who tied the knot didn’t do a very good job on it. The rope fell to the floor with a thud.
She wasn’t sure if Sandra was awake for lack of movement so she started working on the gag. She heard footsteps coming down the stairs. The footsteps stopped and the doorknob started jiggling. Much to Alexa’s surprise, a woman walked in.
The light switched on as the woman whispered “Hello?” Alexa slumped quickly back over the chair pretending to sleep. After no answer, she started to leave. Alexa started working on the gag again when the door flew open.
“AHA!” The apparent kidnapper cried. “I knew you weren’t still sleeping.”
Alexa was surprised at this younger woman’s down to earth attitude. Sandra started waking up, blinked a couple times, sat up and screamed. Alexa just rolled her eyes and quickly finished taking off the gag and threw it to the ground.
“Why’d you kidnap us?” Alexa inquired with a fury about her.
“That’s not important now—“
“Yes it is!” Alexa interrupted.
“No it’s not, I swear. I just need you to come upstairs. It’s dinnertime.”

Part 2 of my story

“How did you know I would be here?” Alexa asked, acting friendly.
“You sent me a note saying to meet you here.”
This drove her mad. Alexa didn’t send her a note. She knew exactly who did it, too. It was her old friend, Sylvia.
Sylvia and her used to hang out all the time in school and even after school. This was up until last year when Sylvia was reunited with some of her old friends that Alexa wasn’t fond of. Sylvia wanted to hang out with Alexa but Alexa didn’t want to hang out with her. Alexa secretly tried to hide this but she trusted too many people. One person told Sylvia and Alexa didn’t know who.
“Note?” Alexa asked trying to act bewildered.
“Yeah, this note”
The note said:

Hey Sandra,
It’s Alexa. I haven’t really gotten to
know you and I would really like to.
I usually go to the park at around one
in the afternoon. Would you meet me
there?
Alexa

The note proved it. She could recognized the printing from all the hate mail she got from Sylvia. Alexa was outraged. This didn’t even sound like her. Alexa hated meeting people. She hated people.
They heard rocks crunching beneath feet and turned around. No one was there.
“So do you want to come to my place for lunch?” Sandra asked.
Alexa was mad at Sandra. She knew Sandra saw the sandwich she was holding. Still, she pointed it out anyways and told her she had to leave. She was still making excuses to why she couldn’t come when they heard the footsteps again.
“Okay, Sylvia. Ha ha! Very funny. You can come out now,” Alexa sarcastically yelled.
Alexa turned around only to see her “friend” was gone.
“Oh, well. She must have gotten scared off,” Alexa said to herself.
Alexa was about to leave to go home but she tripped. That was the last thing she remembered.

Story Preview

The music rippled through her ears. Her music was obviously too loud but he didn’t care. She put on her black shoes and put her music on pause while she said goodbye to her family.
As Alexa left the house, the fourteen-year old felt the harsh winter breeze blow through her long, black hair. The wind was hurting her vibrantly blue eyes. She stepped back in and decided to put on a bit more than she was wearing. She threw on a green jacket, a scarf her mother had knit for her and some sunglasses.
Again, she left her family behind. She walked up the street to the corner store and got the usual Coca-Cola and ham sandwich. The sandwich had the mayonnaise she liked, the tangy and smooth type. She continued on to the town and walked towards the high school she had adored for the two years she had attended. She came to it, stopped and turned around.
“Alexa!” the screechy, annoying voice rang out.
“Hi, Sandra,” Alexa said with the certain unmistakable tone of loathing. “So, what are you doing here?” Alexa asked feeling obligated.
“Waiting for you!” Sandra squealed.
Alexa couldn’t stand the sound of this girl’s voice. Whenever she spoke, it sounded like nails flowing their way along the chalkboard, making a gruesome sound and making everyone cringe.

Keep your private parts out of our public pools.

Recently, a dispute has been raised in B.C. about the use of the Newton Wave Pool. The nudist group of Greater Vancouver, Skinnydipper Services, would like to regain use of this facility. The story recently appeared in the Surrey Leader and the dispute has been taken to court. In 2002, the group of 400 monthly rented the Newton Wave Pool for a nude swim. In May 2003, the events stopped due to the attention brought to the group by an article in The Leader and the City of Surrey creating a rule that "proper attire" must be worn in public pools. The city refused to negotiate the problem. I extremely disagree with this group. In The Bible, the second Adam and Eve sinned, they were ashamed of their bodies and they realized that they were naked. This just shows that we ARE supposed to keep our private parts private parts. It's also kind of a put off when you know that there's been old men swimming nude in the pool the night before. Personally, I'm against the whole idea of a nudist group. Sure you can be unashamed of your body but please be unashamed to yourself.

What do you get when you cross Nexopia with safety?

Facebook, that's what. It seems these days that safety is a recessive gene in websites these days but recently I found Facebook. Facebook makes you able to search people by name but not see any profiles until there's a mutual agreement that you are friends. I have found many of my friends from Clayton but I also have found some unexpected friends from elementary school. I hadn't seen this one particular friend I have in mind since grade 3. So now I have been pulled in to this website and I am addicted. This is Kory Cudmore in British Columbia.

PCC Youth, 30 Hour Famine & Survivor.

April 20, 7:08 p.m.
Here I am at my 30 hour famine for World Vision that started at noon today and man am I having fun. First we had to make a “Stomp” performance. We had 30 minutes to make a 7 minute show. Team “Sonic,” my team, won. We won a Jones soda, a journal from Soccercity and a $5 Wendy’s Gift Card. The next challenge was to build a support structure over a ditch that could hold up a person on a tire. We spent 2 hours making this and lasted about 17 minutes before we dropped the poor girl into the muddy, wet ditch across the street from our church. We lost that challenge.

April 20, 10:36 p.m.
We just got back from karate and rock climbing. We went to a Blackbelt Fighting Studio near the Safeway in Cloverdale and were pushed to our physical (and mental) limits learning how to fight and defend ourselves. We had to promise not to use our super sweet skills outside of our houses or the studio. After a long, tiring lesson, we had to do a form of Simon Says. The last one left over at the end got a chance to break a board that had the durability of a male femur. The first person got it on the third try, the second got it the second try and I was third so I got it on the first time I made contact (after one miss of the board). I won a shirt and our team won that round. The next challenge was at Vertical Reality. On our way there, we invented our team cheer. Someone would say “Sonic and…” and everyone would yell “KNUCKLES!” and we would all pound it. When we got there, we were already drained from fighting and we each had to race up a wall. Our team won more races than the other team so we won that round. Afterwards, I climbed the first pillar on the wall facing away from the entrance. I was so proud of myself. On our way back, two members of our team, a girl and I, recalled the aspirin commercial where a woman in a hollow voice says “My wrists are on fire” and the person at the door does some fancy handwork and shows the Extra Strength Aspirin to her. So we decided this would be part of our cheer. We copied it and would say “My wrists are on fire” and the other person would say “You know what you need,” does some fancy handwork and says “Sonic and…” “KNUCKLES!” our team would reply. We now can go to bed or familiarize ourselves with a Bible verse. I’m choosing to go to bed.

April 21, 9:31 a.m.
We were woken up at 4 a.m. Yay. Our “breakfast” consisted of citrus juice. After that, we did a mini challenge where our teams were tied together by ropes by the ankles and wrists and bound together by Saran Wrap. The other team cheated by having their knots really loose and we lost. Then we went to White Rock Beach and had to memorize a Bible verse: 1 Corinthians 21:20-21, "20If a man beats his male or female slave with a rod and the slave dies as a direct result, he must be punished, 21but he is not to be punished if the slave gets up after a day or two, since the slave is his property.” We had to go in a predetermined order chosen by our team, run up the stairs across the street from the beach and verbalized the verse we just memorized. Our team won after some emotional pitfalls. This challenge was for immunity and the other team had to vote someone off. After that, at around 6 in the morning, each team had to go into the water at the beach and follow a long string that lead us to a rock. Under that rock, we had to dig. The water was about waist deep and we had to dig about 3 feet into the sand before we got to the bins we were supposed to get. This took us about 2 hours to find and get down to. My team had found a corner of the box and were about to dig it completely out but they told us to come back in. We were supposed to assemble a puzzle that was the verse we were supposed to memorize the previous night. Neither team won because neither team finished the challenge. Another girl and I won prizes for “Determination.” After that, the teams got mixed up. I was now part of team “Rush Hour.” The next challenge was an exhausting football obstacle course where we had to put on football equipment that was donated by the BC Lions, skip three times, tackle down a guy to retrieve a blue flag that we had to put completely into a bucket, catch a football from the rest of your team which you had to carry around for the rest of the course, run around cones, get hit by three people with couch cushions (one of them being my sister) whose only goal was to knock you down and run and kick the football back all while wearing this heavy professional football gear. A catch of the first pass meant –10 seconds off your team’s time and a catch of the kick meant –30 seconds off your team’s time. However, dropping the ball meant +10 seconds onto your team’s time. Our team won that round.

April 21, 2:05 p.m.
Off we went, back to the church. When we got there, we all had to pick tasks out of a hat. These tasks had to be executed at the Willowbrook Mall. My task was to get as many signatures as I could to “Outlaw Saturdays” (get them taken out of the calendar week). I was allowed to tell them I was doing this event but I needed to get signatures. I got 12 and the other girl that I was against got 18. Some other tasks people had to do was collect money for world vision, play bigger better best, try to get a job and try to get more prizes for the famine. Our team only got the most money and only by 12 cents. This was the first time I had been to tribal council. I was safe for this round. When we got back to the church, we merged. I had made it to the merge and I was very proud. So for the next challenge, we were pitted up against each other in Bible Trivia. When you got a question right, you got to splash someone with icy cold water but when you got splashed twice, you were out of the challenge. I lasted longer than I thought. I didn’t win. The “Spoiler” team, the outcasts from previous challenges, voted me out. Now, the remaining people have to read through a book of the Bible and present why they want it to be studied by our Youth Group. The others have to rate all the presentations except theirs in order of bets (1) to worst (4).

April 22, 2:56 (conclusion)
The outcasts had a plan as to who they wanted to go to the final two. So for the presentations, one of the girls we wanted in the final two won immunity. So we plucked off another player just as fast as he got on. It was all girls left after that. For the next challenge, the organizer of the event would tell them a story and they had to answer four questions about it by flicking switches one way for one answer and the other way for another answer. Then they had to go into the other room and try to open a box. If the alarm sounded, they got a question wrong but if it didn’t sound and the box opened, they got all the questions right. They would have to, then follow the instructions on the piece of paper in the box. This was a timed event and the fastest to finish would win. Only one girl got all the questions right and she won. It was one of the girls we wanted to take to the final two. The outcasts had to vote off another. They did and she joined them in voting. She did not agree with the idea we had for the final two. For the next challenge, the contestants had to take care of three children from the ages of 1-5 and then the kids would judge who they liked the best. Would the girls we wanted win the challenge or would our plans be destroyed? One of the two we wanted won and our plan would go through for the final two. The final challenge that would decide the winner was to write a newspaper article about the event that emphasized what we did, how much fun we had and why we did it. I got interviewed by only one of the girls. The results were in and we were waiting in anticipation for the results and for dinner that we would be able to eat at 6:00 p.m. I hadn’t felt hungry at all for the entire event since we were kept so busy. The winner was announced. Alena had written the best newspaper article. It will be published in a coming Cloverdale Reporter and I will be featured in it.

I appreciate everything Jeff, the organizer of the event and Kim, our youth pastor, duh, does to get this event going and keep our minds off of our hunger. This year was one of the best years for prizes even though we had a lower budget. Each participant got a ticket to a coming BC Lions game and so much more. I got $5 at Wendy’s, $10 at Ricky’s, a free (much needed) haircut at Magicuts, a bunch of hot chocolate, $20 at any Cineplex location, an Omni 10 water bottle, $10 off any meal purchase at The Old Spaghetti Factory, a free DeDutch Pannekoek, a pass to any Langley Recreation Center, a pass to Willowbrook Lanes, a free McDonald’s Cone, a free D.Q. treat, a free popcorn chicken combo from KFC, a bunch of picture frames and a ton of Jones Soda.

Guy's Trip (cont.)

I am back from going on a trip with my dad and my brother. Instead of going all the way down to the Grand Canyon, we decided that Bryce Canyon was far enough. So we went to the Fairyland section of the canyon. A mighty disappointment seeing as there were absolutely no fairies. The canyon looked nice and there were cool rock formations. It hailed for a while but after that it was fine. It got nice and sunny. I got a lot of boring video that no one will want to see but that's fine. There was a few weird-looking rock formations like one that looked like Squidward's house (an Easter Island Head) and one that was a bunch of uniform pillars. If you really want to see the video (which I doubt you will), just ask and I can probably show it to you and that's a large sustain on the prrrrrobably. So anyways, we headed back on the long road and we stopped somewhere near Beaver, Idaho. That was where the yucky showers were. They had Sulphur in the water there so the shower and us smelled like burning. So back we come across the border with the nice Canadian guy that I could have sworn I knew. I got the nicest greeting from my youth group when I got home. Everyone turned away from the T.V. and shouted in harmony "KORY!" Heartwarming.

Men's Road Trip

My dad, brother and I all decided to leave for a trip down South as far as we could go. So Friday, 3:30 a.m., I get up and get ready for the long day ahead. So after I get ready, we got the van all packed up and left on our way. Wow, that was a long trip. We left and heard that the Aldergrove border was closed until 8:30 so we re-routed and detoured so we still stayed the same easy route. So we went down and I navagated. We drove for MILES and MILES. The longest road was 676 miles long. It was crazy and my legs felt so weird afterward. I couldn't walk. So here we are in either Idaho or Utah, either one, at the Best Westren with a broken excercise room and a disgusting jaccuzzi. wow. whoopie. Actually I am having fun besides my headphones breaking. So I have to only listen to one headphone and it's not enough to drown out a lot of noise. okay, I'd better go. My dad doesn't want me to be on too long. Bye blog readers

Van(dalized)

On Saturday at 8:00 am, five of the youth, Kim, my youth leader, and I all got into a van to raise money for a youth conference in Seattle, Dare 2 Share. We started at IHOP on #10 we stayed there for 2 hours and collected money. Then we moved on to the front of the Willowbrook Mall. There, we didn't raise too much money and got kicked out after an hour by a grumpy unnamed security guard. Then we moved on and went to Extra Foods where we met my mom. She gave us $20 and snacks. We parked by the buggies so people could give us loonies. Smart, eh? After about another hour, the manager came out and asked us where our papers were to say we could be there. At least he was nice about it unlike Grumpy Magoo, the mall security guard. So we went for lunch at Wendy's/McDonald's. I asked for add bacon on my Toasted Deli Sandwich but NOOOOO! Why would they add bacon for the stupid customer? Anyways, after that, we went to one of the Daniel's houses to get his pillows for the night and headed to Wal-Mart. When we got to Wal-Mart, Kim's friend Amy gave her her lunch. So we go outside Wal-Mart for about 10 minutes before realizing that that location was unsuccessful. Off we went to Efads where my sister brought us games and puzzle books and my iPod that I'm so very fond of. So we raised a little and a lot there. We got a bit of change from the pedestrians and $100 from my dad letting us reach the goal of $450. We discussed it and extended our reach to the stars above (a.k.a., $650). So we leave and go to the Future Shop/Michael's area. We raise a bit of money and leave to go to White Spot and Collosus. There, we finally get $650. So to celebrate, we go to Boston Pizza. It felt so weird getting out of the van finally. So after that we went to Roger's Video to rent "Just My Luck". We got back to the church at 9 pm and finished the movie at midnight. We finally got to bed but not to sleep. When we got up, we went into the van to raise money for the Haiti mission then went to church.

Golf Plans with Jenna

A full on Golf day plan spawned from me asking Jenna how her day was. Let's see how this unfolds!:

†Kory†:
HAHAHA

Waiting for a phone call is more exasperating than applying

So ANYWAYS, My friend Stephanie and I decided that we were going to apply together at HMV. She couldn't do it whenever I could so she told me to go on my own. So today I ventured off from home to the Willowbrook Mall. On my way there, I met five of my friends: Caroline, Caitlyn, Sarah, Gina and a girl who's name eludes me at the moment. So I got a lucky nickle and penny from them and many hugs. That was cool. So onwards I went. I get into the mall and my heart starts racing. I realize that this has potential to be embarassing. I get to HMV and a Fall Out Boy poster greets me. I walk inside and the only man at the desk is helping someone else. So I look around like a pathetic loser looking for a friend. Then a woman sees this pathetic loser and goes to help him. He hands her his resume and she says "Okay, I think we have a quiz to fill out." And wadaya know! She did, lucky me. I felt like I was in school and suddenly it felt like someone turned up the heat. It wasn't too hard but it was just the fact that I didn't know some of the artists. I did my best and handed in the 16 mark quiz and left. Then, I go to Rogers Video where my extremely supportive brother is working and tell him I applied. He says "why did you apply at HMV? You couldn't even work at McDonalds." (I had quit from McDonalds in November of last year). I then continued to explain to him that my schedule got too busy to work there anymore. Then I asked him where my mom was and he pointed me to Safeway. The rest of the story is completely irrelivant to the other half so I'll leave you with that. To sum up the rest, we went to Extra Foods. Woot.

-Sincerely, Kory Cudmore

The Worst "Best" Holiday EVER!

Today is Valentine's Day as you may or may not know and it's supposed to be a joyous day. It's not. First, I get a Science Timeline that's due the next day but it's going to take me way longer than that. THEN I have no Valentine to share this day with. THEN I have a Spanish test which I got 28/40 on because I didn't have the best Spanish "educator" last year. THEN it pours with rain. The only thing that could have cheered me up was getting a Candygram in calss but, NO! Of course not. Who cares about KORY!? NO ONE. I gotta get back to class.

Crazy Teachers.

So far I have two teachers that have gotten me to do a "get-to-know-you" assignment. Both I spent a lot of time preparing for and doing. One thing I don't like which I had to do for one assignment is brainstorming on paper. It's annoying. I know what I'm thinking, I don't need to write it down unless it's the end product.
I enjoy writing about myself but... yeah I'm too modest to write too much about me. That last sentance even took a lot out of me. And that one. And that one. And... you get the point. So anyways, these essays had killer opening paragraphs.

One was:
As you may or may not know, but I hope whoever is reading this does otherwise that’s really creepy, my name is Kory Cudmore. I was born in Peace Arch Hospital on 08/08/91. As I grew up, I realized: “Hey there are these people who are constantly in my house.” Let me introduce you to them.

And the other one was:
When I was -1 day old, my mom was rushed to Peace Arch Hospital. Then on August 8 1991, the world got a little brighter, the trees opened their eyes for the first and only time and the angels broke out into a chorus of Ode To Joy as I was born. I lay there screaming as if to eject a lung. They weighed me in at nine pounds, eleven ounces. For that I apologise to my mom. I, then was brought home to be admired and gawked at by the rest of my relatives. It was love at first sight for anyone who met me followed quickly by rejection

TRAGEDY

On the 8th of January, a tragedy occurred and sadly there were only two survivors. As maybe some of you but probably none of you have guessed, I am talking about the declaration of Amy Lee's engagement. So far she seems happy and there is no chance of separation. However, I will persist in my determination to meet her and possibly marry her and have children in a beach-side property somewhere in Europe. There is no news on the location of the wedding or even the date. Upon further announcement of these details, I shall pursue the wedding in hopes of following the Shrek tradition and barging into the wedding right after the questioning of if anyone has any disagreements and yelling "I OBJECT!" stopping the entire wedding to an awkward silence (sadly) and thus, saving the day. And Amy and Kory Cudmore will live happily ever after.

-THE END

The war between the movies

In the past 6 hours I have watched 2 movies with one plot line: The Prestige & The Illusionist. One surpasses the other. You would think it's The Prestige considering its "rave reviews" and fancy-pants name but no, The Illusionist was way better. I found The Prestige violent and hard to follow. They killed the birds! There was like 7 or 8 birds KILLED in this film. Even worse there was way more people killed. In The Illusionist, I loved it, NO BIRDS DIED and I understood it unlike in The flippin' Prestige.

The Best Concert Ever

On January 18, 2007 at 7:00, I was at the Pacific Coliseum at the PNE acompanied by my friends Marie & Michael, my sister, Sarah and her friend Ellen. I specifically came for Evanescence but of course, along with the main, awesome band, you have to hear the very mediocre bands that are extremely inferior to the main band. Anyways, we had to sit through Black Maria and Stone Sour. Black Maria is an unsung band and it should remain that way. All they did was scream so loud that you couldn't hear them and swear. Stone Sour was the same way. The only song you could understand was their mainstream song, Through Glass. All through their portion it was just swearing. Then Evanescence came. THEY WERE AWESOME. NO swear words. She was absolutely stunning. She wore a black dress with pink feathers on it. I was singing along. Actually it was more screaming. I feel sorry for the people in front of us. The first three songs in order were "Sweet Sacrifice" (as I predicted) "Weight of the World" & "Going Under". The band was awesome. When they started playing "Your Star," I screamed "You're my star, Amy" which got some people laughing. They said at one part, "Forgive us, we haven't played this song to much" but they played it awesome. The song: "Cloud Nine"!!! For their new single: "Lithium," they brought a whole snow effect for it and made it look so cool. After the song, she said "I brought up the idea of the snow effect for the song and I thought it would be such a cool idea but then I remembered: Oh, yeah. We're going to Canada." After that, they played "Whisper" in which she did the operatic solo before the long guitar solo. I didn't know she actually sang that part. Then I heard violins playing and my heart jumped. They were gunna sing "Lacrymosa," my absolute favorite song from their new album. That was definately the highlight of the night. Then I came home with an awesome t-shirt with a picture of the band on the front and the tour on the back. All in all it was the best concert ever.

The Meaning Behind the Name

The name phylliscriestoomuch derrives from the T.V. show "The Office." On that great source of comedy there is a character named Phyllis. She often is found knitting or crying in the office. In the Christmas Episode, we got a demonstration of her knitting. She gave Michael, her boss, an oven mitt that she knitted for him. Michael was enraged hat Phyllis only cared about her "a whole oven mitt's worth." On a later episode entitled "Conflict Resolution," Phyllis recieved a complaint from Stanley that read "Phyllis cries too much" thus making her upset and leading her to cry.
