anyone got ideas? | Arthritis Information

of what i might wanna do to take my mind off the pain lol

i got some good ideas yesterday from some people

but today i feel worse and im not sure what to do

 

i dont think id wanna play wii

since my arm hurts when i move it

but i have other video games i might wanna play too

ones that dont involve moving my whole arm lol

 

anyways i could always read, if i was really bored

 

BUT any suggestions that u ppl have

would be nice

since it is summer and i should be having fun

but apparently im not havin fun right now

 

so if anyone has ideas of what i can do to not be bored

that wont be painful

then u should tell me

ok lol

maybe i'll do a wordsearch

those r usually fun

for a while

until i cant find any more words lol

for the summer, its like summer homework lol

we gotta read 10 books

but they can be any book we want

im already on my second book lol

 

reading is boring for me, but i dont mind it every once in a while

 

 

How about the Hobbit?  Tolkien in one of my most favorite writers!  His prose is exceptional in the ability he has to take you into the middle earth!  I like that type of fantasy, it is a great escape!  And of course, Lord of the Rings is even better!  You would probably get credit for reading 3 books for Lord of the Rings!  And you may learn some elvish!

 

How about the Inheritance Series of three books by Christopher Paolini?  More fantasy flying with dragons!  He began writing these and published the first, Eragon, at 19 I believe.  Talk about working hard at a young age!!!

u didnt offend me lol

its ok, i was still reading them last year

i had just finished them then lol

and ur right, everyone likes to read them, i guess

even my dad read one of the books in the series, lol.

 

well right now

i started a book called

The Glory Field

its by Walter Dean Myers

 

even tho we get to pick what books we want to read this summer

we HAVE to read 2 out of 4 that they had on the list

 

so i HAVE to read

The Glory Field by Walter Dean Myers

and Princess Academy by Shannon Hale

 

then i can choose the other ones i want to read

suprisingly The Glory Field isnt so bad

its about slavery and a family of black people

and it goes like a timeline, throughout different generations of the family

im on like page 30 somethin, just started this morning

lol

 

When I was your age, I was not crazy about reading either.  A friend had just finished A Seperate Peace by John Knowles and suggested it to me... :O .... It was beyond good and when I finished reading it, I just wanted to read more good books, really good books!  I think that is the way it goes with reading, you just get hooked by a good book and you learn to visualize the story and characters and begin to see the story like a movie in your head.  That is what I do anyway.

the sad part is

since its one of the books u HAVE to read

they also gave us a worksheet to do about the story

which i think ruins the fun, and makes it seem more like work rather than reading for enjoyment lol

 

most of the kids in my class and school, read the Twilight series

i didnt tho, my best friend just recently did a few weeks ago

and she thought it was awesome, so i think i may read them too this summer

but thats cuz she always reads, all day whenever she has a spare moment

but thats why she's so smart all the time lol

i guess the more u read the smarter u r

lol

 

I guess reading maybe makes you  smarter because it increases your vocabulary and understanding of words, at least, that is what I think!  It also makes it easier to read and understand things that are not so much fun to read.  Like, for me anyway, science.  I always had a difficult time with science but probably because I had such poor science teachers in school.  I find it much easier now, but from grade school to college, I struggled! LOLOL!  We keep crossing our wires on where to post!!!   yeah some of my teacherz say reading makes ppl smarter I am soooooo not a morning person!  Once I get up and going, I am okay, it is just the getting up part!yeah me too Star - what about swimming????  I live in Connecticut, too, so I know its been raining alot.  I swam on a swim team growing up and I know how good the water can feel on an achy body (I did not have RA growing up).  Sometimes the cool water is so refreshing and helps with anything that hurts.  Do you have a town pool near you?  Do you know how to swim?  Are you doing any summer camps this summer? wow lol Star - what about bike riding?  First, do you have a bike?  Do you have a safe place to ride?  Do you have friends to hang out with?

Star - do you live anywhere near Suffield?  They are doing an "Extreme House Makeover" this week.  IT will be aired in September.  My son (age 16) and I went to volunteer for the Foodshare this afternoon.  Lucky for us, most of the big storms held off until we were done.  We got to go see the house they are building.  It really is a neat production.  You could go to that if y ou live anywhere near it.

well this is slightly embarassing but Star - I live near the rail trail that I think starts in Suffield, CT and goes to Route 4 in Farmington.  Its a beautiful bike path and safe to ride.  We (my family) ride on it alot.  Do you go to the movies during the summer?  That's always fun.    What does your friend like to do besides read? yeah its always fun to go to the movies well all she does usually is read and plays video games sometimes she likes to play outside Well, hopefully our rainy weather pattern will change soon and you can go outside more.  The great outdoors has so much to offer.  Have fun! yeah going outside is fun [QUOTE=Loki] Hey little girl, go to King.com - they have fun games 2 play for free.
