140 Character Tweet Memoir

I walked up to my seat at the ride, Delirium, on a nice day at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk.  I was by myself because West was too scared for the ride.  I pulled the safety bar over my head and then slowly the machine started.  Nineteen or so other people and I started spinning around and were swung back and forth, getting higher and faster all the while.  I could start to see all the other rides at the boardwalk, and was almost upside down.  I wasn't really scared, but excited!  Soon enough, the ride came to a stop and I got off with a feeling of accomplishment.

Encyclopedia of an Ordinary Life

Sierra Dawn Wood:

I really like the name Sierra.  It’s not too common, and nobody else in my school has it.  The only bad thing about it is that some people have to ask how to spell it.  On the other hand, my last name Wood is much more common, and I hate how a lot of people think it’s Woods with an S.  But overall, my name’s pretty cool.

Music:

Music plays a big part in my life.  I play flute, piano and drums, and tried guitar once over the summer, but a string broke and that still needs to be fixed.  I also sing, and love trying to sing harmony with someone else.

Animals:

I love all animals, big or small, except for horses.  I would like them too, if it wasn't for my allergies.  I own three kitties and a gecko, and hope to get dogs soon.  My favorite animals are zebras and dogs.

Volleyball:

Volleyball is my favorite sport.  I love the feeling of spiking a ball over the net and it slamming down on the other side!  I have always wanted to play volleyball since I was little, and this is now my fourth year of playing.  After all this practice, I can get most of my serves over and am okay at passing and setting.
