Through the eyes of a child!!

My Autobiography Poem
Ringing the bells of Notre Dame, Quasimodo enthralled me when I was two, so much that my beloved feline, who is as old as the moon, has his name and I also dressed up as the fictitious bell ringer for Halloween. Surprisingly, my sand -colored cat Godzilla ate my shiny blue fish, Spawn. Black as night, my cat Bernie roams the world. Shortly before we got Bernie it seemed as if we had moved to another planet. I was puzzled about the neighborhood. Hopefully, I’ll be able to travel to the far away island of Japan. Once I was a pest, but I converted into a smarty pants nerd. Two times I went to an educational writer’s camp. At the age of five I had an unexpected seizure that freaked my parents out. I kept yelling out random relatives names. In first grade my pesky twin sisters were born and changed my whole life. Observing
my dad making movies is what I enjoy. Spiders terrify me. Putting green streaks in my hair is my dream. Ready to read, I retrieve my favorite Harry Potter novel. Sadly, my wise uncle died when I was only five, he was the ultimate uncle to me. Halloween is our family holiday we all dress up. I’ve gone from being a black and yellow bumble bee to a kicking butt superhero named Rogue. Pirates of the Carribean star Orlando Bloom is one of my Hollywood crushes. Others include Jeremy Sumpter from Peter Pan, Zac Efron and What a Girl Wants Oliver James. As for real crushes, I’ve had many. One of my best friends is Karlena. She is as funny as a comedian, she always makes me laugh.
Sometimes my friends help me through my struggles, sometimes we just talk about our life. When we talk, we sound as if we

haven’t seen each other in a hundred years. Friends are family. Anxiety bursts when I go places alone. Animals that run wild in the wide, open grasslands of Africa with fresh air playing in their long, mangled fur is what I enjoy
watching. At a quaint vacuum shop I witnessed my father’s proposal to my mother. They didn’t get hitched until I was 10 years old,though. The unique celebration included a Native American prayer, an old African American broom jumping custom and cutting the 3-tiered Nightmare Before Christmas cake with a gigantic sword. Muertos and loved ones attended the gala. Momma’s alright, Daddy’s alright... they just seem a little weird.
Hot Topic is my store of choice. Skulls, fairies, and gothic style clothes are what I prefer. All America Rejects, Rob Zombie, Kid Rock, Santana, and BonJovi
illustrate some of the rock bands I like.
Unbeknownst me, I saw the future governor promoting Terminator 3 at the San Diego Comic Con. I got a golden ticket from the one and only Mike Teavee, and blueprints signed by Kevin Smith. A monster book illustrator named Gris Grimly also had a booth there. My dad was so interested in his artwork we later to drove to Pasadena for a book signing. Arriving a bit tardy, I was the only child dressed as a skeleton and there were no more books left. He signed his copy to me and he’s posted pictures I’ve drawn for him on his website. In the future I wish to do more amazing things with my life and I believe other people should too. Continue to dream your dreams and the dream will never die.
