SAMantha Rival is the coolest kid on Earth right now as far as I'm concerned. I think we should treat her like a god on Monday and be like the Aztecs with temple construction and human sacrifices.
Explaining your good mood to someone only makes it better. Keeping things to yourself is selfish.
SAMantha is not allowed to tell.
If you're not me or her you may never know.

Despite rushing to get ready for school and completeing thirty minutes of homework in less than ten minutes, it was a good day.

I haven't really been working on the drawing all that much but I have what's done posted at the end here...
I know all of you seem to want to work on this at the next PPS but it would be a lot more helpful if you guys would start putting some ideas up here: powerpoos.proboards49.com.
Important Note:
These drawings are merely first drafts and incomplete. Lilly and Liz aren't even on here. They will be revised later. (Kit and Lindsey will get their heads later and Katie's fangs will be removed, unless you guys want to keep them there.)

Attention Power Poos:
As you have probably heard, I am starting a Power Poo Series. You may be confused about how I am going to go about this. I have written this in order to clear up all confusions.
Table of Contents
I. Flash
II. Motion Tweening and Frame by Frame
III. Newgrounds
IV. Posting Your Ideas
V. Order of Operations
VI. Power Poo Future
I. Flash
Macromedia Flash is a popular animation program used by amateurs and professionals alike. Flash can be used to edit images, animate, create games, and make websites. I am no Flash expert now, but I hope to be in the future. Flash is what I will be using to animate with.
II. Motion Tweening and Frame by Frame
Frame-by-Frame (FBF) animation is what is used for professional animations (e.g. Spongebob Squarepants or Fairly Oddparents). This is harder and takes much more time. In the world of Flash, it is generally used for movies with no voices, usually music videos. Here is an example:
http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/248178
Motion tweening is when you draw all of you objects moving parts separately (e.g. your foot, lower leg, and upper leg would all be drawn as separate “symbols”). Symbols are then moved by the computer. The animator user keyframes to direct the symbols where to go. Motion Tweening is used when the majority of the humor comes from dialog. This is what we will be using for the Power Poo series. Here are some examples of Motion Tweening from three different authors:
http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/191110
http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/70212
http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/268903.
(If you find one of these funny there is a drop down menu in the bottom left of the screen so you can view other things the same author has made.)
This probably sounds really confusing to you, but that’s why I am animating this.
III. Newgrounds
Newgrounds.com is what is known as a flash portal. People submit their flash works to Newgrounds and the NG users get to watch, vote, and review it. All submissions are instantly put on the site under judgment. After a certain amount of votes have been cast, it will either be kept on the site or blammed. If it is blammed it will be deleted off the site because of its poor ratings. Very well made flashes receive flash awards and get to be featured on the front page of Newgrounds. How long it stays on the front page depends on its popularity and the number of front page worthy flashes come after it. Most stay on the front page for about a week. If the Power Poo series does well on Newgrounds we will officially have fans!
IV. Posting your ideas
I can’t write this myself, if I did it would suck. I need you guys to post your story ideas here: http://powerpoos.proboards49.com/ This way everyone can easily read everyone else’s ideas. Make sure your ideas will be funny to people other than us, though. Sometimes things seem funny one day, but the next your like …What?
V. Order of Operations
First off, we need a script. While we work on the script I’ll be working on all of the drawings. I hope to be finished with the drawing in about a week. Next comes the recording. Any of you got a decent computer microphone? Mine is okay, but it could prove problematic in the sound quality area. After we get all of out lines recorded. I will animate it. Once I’m done with that it will be viewed by you for your approval. Then comes its Internet debut. We’ll find out if our work is any good. And how long will this all take? Well it depends on how swamped with homework we get. I’m going to have nearly no homework all this week so I should be able to finish drawing all us characters and all of the backgrounds. Don’t expect this to be done much before Thanksgiving. I know that sounds like a long time, but we can’t spend all of our free time on it, and if we want this to be any good, we have to take our time on it.
VI. Power Poo Future
We can’t too much of our time thinking of the future, we need to be working on the first episode of the series. If that goes over well, we continue the series. If it goes over horribly, well, its not going to. We aren’t going to submit it if its no good. We will just try again. If the series does pick up and get popular, well here’s a list of things to expect (flash authors who got popular with their series have these things):
A snazzy website
Power Poo Clothing
Fanart
Some, but not a lot of money
So, that’s about it. Sound good to you Power Poos? Any non-power poos think they might be interested in watching this when were done?
Peace.
Oh, and here’s a quick example of what were going to look like:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v259/Guacamole10/LivExample.swf
Hah, look at me wave!
It comes up way bigger than its really going to be and the animation isn't that great, but it will be better once the real animating begins.

It's good to actually be doing stuff in school now, not just going over rules and expectations. I got new brackets on my teeth yesterday so those hurt pretty bad. Advil just doesn't do the trick. I'm also all stuffed up, complete with earache, sore throat, and burning eyes. And that's why I skipped out on Interact today.
I think the world is coming to an end. I'm acing geometry and failing spanish. Okay, so I'm not failing but I'm getting lower grades than what I expected. Surdel gave us so much time to study.
And guess what. I'm going to start a Power Poo animated series. Yes, that's right our own series. I just need to find myself a bit of time to start working on it. Practice your theme song singing, Katie.

By the way, Kit has a sunburn.

| The First Day of School |
[06 Sep 2005|07:02pm] |

Today was the first day of school! We're in High School now guys...
--Period 1--
Mr. Goldberg has a funny eye. According to my mom, his eye was like that when she was in high school.
--Period 2--
Mrs. Mastramonaco seems to be an airhead. I like teachers who are airheads.
--Period 3--
Mrs. DellaVope seems pretty nice. I think I will be learning much more spanish with her than with Surdel.
--Period 4--
Health! I forget the teacher's name but I don't like her much. I don't really like health teachers in general much. Or health for that matter.
--Period 5--
We went out and marched. We the freshmen learned this spinny thing we do during the cadence. I found it sort of entertaining.
--Period 6--
English. Like writing. Hate reading. And Kit's in my class. I feel dumb now.
--Period 7--
Science. Mrs. Lynch seems nice. First day and a test tube already broke. I didn't do it, Ryan did.
I now know why bus 17 was always late to the middle school. And to all who know of bus 17's lateness, it could have easily been about 10 times later than it was.
I actually did all of my homework before going on the computer for once. Now I just got to learn to do it before I turn on the T.V.
I'm actually kind of glad to be back in school. I guess I just feel better on some sort of schedual.
Peace Out, my fans.

And then I'll be gone another 5 days in Mass. with Kit and Lilly for a softball camp.
Huzzah!

An update of the whole week...
Wednesday we had an all-star game…I think that was the one we won…and then we had the Power Poo Sleepover at Lilly’s house! We swam, and watched White Noise, and put bath foam in Katie’s hair and all over Lilly, and Kit and Liz played dress-up, and the Poo Sisters and capes which were actually towels, and the Power Rangers had cuffs that were actually paper cups, and we discovered that Katie hates antelope, and we still need to finish the Olympics, and there’s a whole bunch of pictures that Kit needs to put on her webshots thing or I will hurt her, and I just summed up two days in one sentence.
Friday-Sunday
I don’t really remember anything much going on. I think we had practice Sunday, though.
Monday
We got mercied by Coginchaug! How wonderful!
Tuesday
We got destroyed in the semi finals by Middletown! The score was something like 25 to 1 I think. That’s like getting mercied twice in one game. Going from defending champs to that…ouch. OUR BANNER FROM LAST YEAR IS STILL NOT HANGING UP, well its hanging in the field house but no one can see it in there.
Um, that’s all I really have to say.

Once again, its Saturday.
Thursday night I had a softball game. We lost, of course, but only by one. Then me, Kit, Liz, and Lindsey K. went to the fair in our uniforms. Liz left us and then we found Lilly and we went on rides and such. The Bullet hurts. I went on it with Hannah and Babs once and I took the door side because they each only had one hand to hold on with(Babs broke her wrist, Hannah broke her finger) and I didn't want to squish them.
Anyway,
Friday kinda sucked. It was all rainy and such. I saw Laura at Ace when I went to my guitar lesson.
Today is the parade. Be there or be square.

Soooo,
It's Saturday.
-Tuesday-
I had a softball game in Middletown. It was soooo humid. We lost, of course. Then after me and Kit were in my mom's car. Then Kit started the car.Hahahhahahhaahh! The look on Mrs. Kit's Mother-Hahahhhahaa!
-Thursday-(Yes, I know I skipped Wednesday.)
The Major league players (Babs and friends) had their first all star game. So I was there along with Lilly, Lindsey(Kimberly), and Katie(The President of the All Star Fan Club. I'm the Vice President.) We didn't really pay much attention to the game. It was more of stealing Katie's shoes and keeping the "thumb" away from each other. The "thumb" is actually a small nerf football without its tail, so you can put it on your fingers or thumbs.
-Yesterday-(Friday)
I had a game. I pitched pretty well. I think my dad not being there helped. When people tell me what to do every time I throw a ball it messes me up. **cough cough**my dad and Mr. Rigdon**cough cough**
Oh yeah, and Babs broke her wrist again. Only this time its one wrist, not two, and she will probably be able to play softball in about a week and have it completly healed in about three weeks. She broke it sliding into second base. How does one manage that?
-Today-
Seeing as its only ten after seven, not much has happened yet today. I'm going to the fields at memorial school at about one for the next all star game.
-Yep.

When you think back to past last days of school, you remember being happy and celebrating with your classmates. Then the clock struck one and you hugged your friends goodbye. You left knowing you would see them all in September. I guess thats what made today so sad. There's fourty somthing of us not going to East Hampton High. That and we're all a little scared of growing up. We only have four years left to be a kid.
On a more humerous note, me and Audrey got in yelled at by Mrs. Wheeler with only two hours of Middle School to go. Dana needed to get a paper from the office so me and Audrey went with her. We had writing all over our arms. Mrs. Wheeler saw us and starts saying something like "Anyone who lets someone else write on them has a problem." Then she sent us to the nurse's sink to wash off the ink. As soon as Mrs. Wheeler couldn't hear us we started laughing. That was the most fun I've ever had getting in trouble. I think thats my first time getting in trouble with the principal. With only two hours left, Hah!

Overall,
Middle School was pretty bad. I wish I could turn back the clocks and stay in 5th grade forever. In four years we will be all grown up. Thats pretty scary.
Mrs. Wheeler took away Nature's Classroom. Supposedly they raised the price to high.
She didn't take away the advanced classes.
I don't think anybody really wants this school year to end.
