Shine Bright Like A Diamond...Shaped Poem

Diamond poems look something like this:


                Word
            Word word
        Word word word
    Word word word word
        Word word word
            Word word 
                Word

We worked on some today in class. The subject has to change to the opposite in the middle line. For instance (I wrote this):

Seed
Bland, tiny
Soaking, breaking, expanding
Pebble, egg, beauty, wonder
Growing, blooming, blossoming
Amazing, miraculous 
Flower.

See? That particular one was more of a progression of a life cycle (kitten to cat, boy to man, etc) but most are opposites. Some kids wrote about things like girls as opposed to boys, or day and night. So naturally, I chose life...and death.

Life
Wonderful, miraculous
Breathing, living, laughing
Birthdays, weddings, morgues, funerals
Faltering, fading, dying
Common, depressing
Death

Yes. And on that note, why don't we talk about my new fish James Pond?
He's posed problems for the other fish. He thinks just because he gets to go on missions and blend in and drink (in the eloquent words of Nicki Minaj)"that henny, can I get that margarita on the rock-rock, can I get that salt all around that rim-rim-rim-rim" that he's better than the other fish and is 'the boss' of them. They've started a petition to kick him out of the tank. I've decided to let it pass. They can't really kick him out anyway. Not without feet. 

HAHA! HAHAHA!

Moshi Monsters Mission 2 Season 2 Walkthrough

All right! Here is the walkthrough for Season 2, Mission 2 of the Moshi Monsters Missions! (I've highlighted the steps with the EPICS' locations in bold, so if you've completed the mission and just want to know where the EPICS are, you can just scroll straight to the bold.) 1. Talk to Squirk (actually, you don't have an option here. You are forced to engage in conversation with the Captain.) and then you'll be taken to Sandy Drain hotel. 2.After you are done talking to him, you will hear a loud "MROWOOOOOOOOO!!" that sounds like an elephant, and then you will see a large frightening cow. 3. Click on the cow and talk to it. She'll try to charge you a ridiculous amount of money to stay at the hotel (no matter which response you choose to her questions) and when that doesn't work, she asks you to find her teeth. 4. Before leaving the lobby, click on the stick near the counter. You'll need it later. Then click on the sign reading 'POOL'...

Sorry this took so long! Most of you have probably figured it out already, but just in case, this and more are on their way!This mission is called Bungle in the Jungle. 1. Talk to Captain Squirk. Not that you have a choice. 2.You should be taken straight to the Hoodoo Hideaway. You may recognize that stirring stick in the pot as a certain someone's staff (hint hint). 3. Click on Big Chief Bill, the little guy with the skull on his head. Ask about the "idol from above". Then tell him YOU'LL talk to the other tribes FOR him. Then select "Prove myself worthy?" 4.Win at Hoodoo Pong. Easy peasy. 5. Ask where the ingredients are. I took notes, but I''l list the locations here so you don't have to: Unknown Zone Walla Walla Watering Hole Snaggletooth Swamp Don't bother asking why the tribes fell out, it won't do any good. 6. No need to take notes on the recipe; you can look at it anytime. Click on the red arrow in the bottom right corner a...
