Meh Journal... read if you like.
I usually post bits and pieces of my work as a writer. Check it out if you're interested. Occasionally I'll input some stuff about what's going on with my life or ask for inspiration or encouragement, so look for that too!
Alright, so we were just doing idioms in Language Arts. We had an assignment to identify some idioms and their meanings. There were 8 in all. Then we were to write a paragraph using all eight of those idioms correctly.
The 8 idioms were:

1.) Don't take any wooden nickels (Don't let people cheat you)
2.) Fish or Cut Bait (Quit delaying and make a decision)
3.) Mum's the word (Be silent; don't tell anyone)
4.) Rotten apple spoils the barrel (One bad person can ruin it for everyone)
5.) Tickled Pink (To be very amused or pleased)
6.) Worth your salt (Deserving of pay or reward)
7.) You can't teach an old dog new tricks (People who find it hard to change)
8.) Eat your words (To have to take back what you said)

So the dialogue is a bit out of whack, but yeah. The main character is Kiche, who I think I am going to use throughout other Language Arts assignments where we use creative writing. Her appearance, the way it is in my head, is... well, imagine... hmm, a 16-17 year old girl with Sakura's hair [x] but shoulder-length, and Kadaj's outfit [x] Something sorta like that, the gloves black but not covering her fingers . Green eyes... about 5'10"... that's about all I can think of to say.
Anyway, here it is. I had to switch file hosting sites... MediaFire seems to be broken for me. Ahh well.
.Rtf (Wordpad, I think Microsoft Word can read it):http://www.savefile.com/files/1313646
.Txt (If you only have Notepad): http://www.savefile.com/files/1313643
(the difference between rtf and txt is that .txt has no formatting, meaning you can't use diff. font sizes, align left/center/right, nor bold or italics)
Thanks!! See ya later! heart 3nodding
EDIT: Some work from Katie--she drew Kiche, and quite well I would think:
It almost completely matches what she looks like in my head. ^.^ Thanks Katie!! heart heart

Lol. ^~^~^ Thank you again!!! xD
Hahaha the dialogue in that first part of the story was weird...
Oh yeah we had a test in Language Arts a few days ago, and I made some references to this story, and a hint at it... we were supposed to use idioms in sentences. Two of them were like:
"Zack enjoys to rock the boat; he is a troublemaker."
"Kiche and her younger sister are two peas in a pod; you would almost think them the same person."
