the love meter (vol. 2)

so we left off right before i tell you what i got on the love meter.
so, i guess i can't avoid it anymore.
i got a 106.
guess what that is?
BLAH
the lowest thing on the meter.
i almost cried.
but then i got another quarter to do it again, to prove that the machine was crap.
BLAH
twice.
so now my family was laughing at me. so i did it again.
BLAH.
BLAH, BLAH, BLAH.
i'm scarred for life. i was made fun of for hours, days. it'll never end.
and now, i'll probably ruin any relationship i'm (n)ever in. because i'm a blah.
so then i listened to Settle Down by Cartel. and i learned what restitution means.
and let me tell you, restitution's a b**ch.

my fingers hurt from learning to play the guitar. i need calouses.

the american mall

did anyone watch that movie on mtv?
omg i LOVED it.
neil haskell was in it from sytycd last year. and i was like in love with him. he's a pretty good actor.

yeah, i said it.
so, comment!
about american mall, sytycd, neil, hsm. anything!
i'm hyper...

MEMOIRS OF A TEENAGE AMNESIAC

GABRIELLE ZEVIN
i reallly liked this book. like, it was gooood!
and it's another book about a girl who can't remember, just like Jenna Fox.
i bet you don't remember that book at all.
thanks.
lol, jk. whatever.
memoirs is about Naomi, who fell ("dove") down a flight of stairs and had head trauma and now she can't remember the last four years of her life. which, a lot of stuff happened, and she's missing it all. and there's James, the messed up kid... he's got some issues. and Ace, her jerky boyfriend that Naomi doesn't remember. and her best friend Will, who calls her "Cheif" and she doesn't know why and she really doesn't remember him. (like what happened before the accident... or about his dad...)
and naomi was adopted from russia, and she was found in a church in a typwriter box. how sad is that?
this was actually a really good book. kinda like WAKE, but not really. actually, yeah, no, it wasn't. it was more like Jenna Fox. which is good too...
yeah i'm rambling.

SECRETS OF MY SUBURBAN LIFE

LAUREN BARATZ-LOGSTED
okay so the main character is Lauren (but she goes by Ren) so does that mean that the author named her after herself?
i think so.
which, i'm sorry, i think that's dumb, but whatever.
this was a good book, kind of reminded me of Raisin a little. cuz Ren was moved out of NYC after Harry Potter killed her mom.
you'll just have to read to find out!
but Ren wasn't that upset by it, like, she was fine. i was like "that girl is crazy!"
and it teaches lessons about how you shouldn't go meet people you talk to on the internet in a sleezy motel somewhere or actually, otel... haha.
and that teenage girls shouldn't talk to older men on sex websites.
good lesson, no?
so yeah, i lol-ed i think. cuz it's newer, it has better references. like to harry potter and stuff.
and omg i soooo guessed who the perp (lol, perv) was, which was the same guess that Ren made, but by the end i was like, ohhhh, now i really think i know who it is.
i was right. for the most part.

SOMEDAY THIS PAIN WILL BE USEFUL TO YOU

PETER CAMERON
another book about a depressed teenage boy.
i picked this up as a joke because of the title, trying to get a buddy to read it (she doesn't read, i don't know what i was thinking). then i ended up reading it and actually really liking it.
did you know Grand Central Station is not a station?
it's Grand Central Terminal, so stop calling it a station!
that's what i learned from James. (the depressed kid)
he's about to start Brown after the summer (Brown was mentioned in Devilish too, omgz) (Brown is a college in Rhode Island)
but james doesn't want to go to college. and he makes some very interesting points, which now have me thinking...
in the front flap it says "sexual orientation (confusion thereof)" or something like that, and i'm like "oh great, he's gay." which of course, everyone asks him about.
oh! and he ran away in D.C.! exciting.
so this book was good, lots like Perks and Catcher, but different.
and a little depressing.

DEVILISH

MAURINNE JOHNSON
good. not much to say.
it's about when this girl who works for the devil comes to this school and like takes this girl's soul, so her friend has to save her. then there's this weird twirpy kid that gives me the creeps. for obvious, and not obvious reasons.
devilish was funny too. i like books that make me lol.
watch out for the constant cupcake eating, it can only mean bad things.
and please, please, don't sell your sould to the devil just because you're sad cuz you threw up all over people in school. you're life's not over, the devil can't help you.
sheesh.

i think i

just found out what the third book's gonna be.
after FADE, if you're confused.
GONE
i'm pretty sure...
WAKE, FADE, GONE
cute, right?
i need confermation on this please!

SOPHIE

GUY BURT
this book was like super confusing
i still don't really get it.
so it's about this girl (that much i'm sure of) and her brother (but i'm not really sure, well... yeah.) and then he like kindaps her and keeps her in this old house or barn or something.
and then he talks about his childhood with her
(but i'm not sure it was her) (but it might have been)
and that she's like a genius robot or something but she always hid her brains from people.
(she's not really a robot)
and umm... yeah. it was a good book, but really confusing.
and in england!!! so they talk fun!
so yeah... i don't know what i think

the love meter (vol. 1)

up with gram, we went to this park and then were passing the time and wasting our quarters. so i found the Love Meter, which apparently tells you if you're a good lover or something, when you put your 2 finger tips on it. (and feed it a quarter)
grammy got Pasion Flower (ewwww)
auntie got Innocent (yeah right!)
sister got... Tease (huh?)
other sister got Foxy Lady, the second highest thing.
i was like, HUH? for that one.
ya wanna know what i got?
...

888!

8/8/08 is here!
and you know what that means!!!!!
youtube convention in toronto!!
woo!
oh, plus there's this sports thing or something going on, but whatever, right?

jk! i totally am watching the olymics. omg, did you SEE that opening ceremony? !! holy cows... those chinese are like amazing. but their little gymnastics girls look to be about 10, not 16, which is the legal age.
but anyways, back to youtube!
so everyone flew to toronto to meet everyone else who does youtube!
but actually, i shouldn't be so happy.
i mean, i've already suffered.
the friday video for 5AG was like 40 seconds of nothingness, though i did see all of the guys in one bed! with clothes. except for monday, cuz he's stuck in chicago. poor andy...
so i'm looking forward to videos from there, because i know it'll be funny, but i'm upset by the lack of videos at this moment.
and the lack of twitter updates from the guys. do i care that stevie has internet access in his bathroom? sure... but not for 2 days!
so i hope you had a good 888, have fun watching phelps win stuff, that jerk.

THE MAINE

CAN'T STOP, WON'T STOP
bought this at Warped Tour. i think i love having physical cds, it's soo much more fun!
so glad i bought it, it's like the best cd i've listened to in a while. (probably since rotation, which was the last time, i'm not hard to please, plus the last one i hear is probably my fave, just like charlie and books. i need to stop making references to my books in cd reviews)
EVERYTHING I ASK FOR. think this is the single, maybe not. anyways, i love it. i love the chorus, too, "oh she makes me feel like sh*t, it's always something, but i can't get over it..."
loves it!
WE ALL ROLL ALONG. not a favorite, but that's just because i don't listen to it as much. but it's still real good.
GIRLS DO WHAT THEY WANT. bought this song first on itunes, then the cd. oops. i love it, and it's probably true, "girls do what they want, boys do what they can". good female empowerment line, just like "girls make boys cry." ((haha. when you get home you're so dead, mayday parade.))
I MUST BE DREAMING. really cute, i like it. "i love the way she wakes me when it's still dark" cute? yes! like the chorus, has the cd title in it, "can't stop, won't stop... i must be dreaming."
INTO YOUR ARMS. soooo good. "she had the amazing... smile, i bet you didn't expect that" haha. really really good. good to sing along to. lol
TIME TO GO. pretty good. i'm getting it mixed with another song... 'if i fail' by Cartel. had to look up the lyrics. this song is good too.
THIS IS THE END. good, i don't listen to it constantly, but it's good.
WHOEVER SHE IS. this one, i listen to constantly. my fave, i think. slow, ballady, but not really, listen to the lyrics, too, because they're like the most important part. stuck in my head. "she could be money, cars, fear of the dark, your best friends or just strangers in bars. whoever she is, whoever she may be, one things' for sure, you don't have to worry." cute? yes!
COUNT 'EM, ONE, TWO, THREE. really good music, like hooks and stuff, guitar. good song.
KISS AND SELL. another fave. slower, but not really. so good. great. and everything in the chorus rhymes. haha. not everything, but you know. it's good.
YOU LEFT ME. a little techno-y. so it's probably my least favorite on the album. it's still good, but the beginning espessially, techno. at least, in my opinion.
WE'LL ALL BE. they say the eff bomb! but it's not that bad. at the end, there's a big instumental thing, then with like chanting. it's good. it's almost like they put in random recordings from them talking and laughing in the studio. loves it!
overall rating:: probably 5, so glad i bought it!
tracks to get if you're on a budget ((get the whole cd, it's worth it!))
whoever she is
kiss and sell
everything i ask for
into your arms
girls do what they want

CUTE IS WHAT WE AIM FOR

ROTATION
loves this cd!
PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT. the first single. gets sooo stuck in my head. great.
DOCTOR. didn't like it as much, now i love it! creepy giggling in the beginning though. loves the first lines, "i'm like a rookie paramedic to a siren, praying for an accident." or "i'll be, i'll be your cure.. i'll be, i'll be your whore." ahaha.
NAVIGATE ME. dirty. something about a naval. didn't like it, now i do. real good.
LOSER. second song i got. really good, got stuck in my head. good life lessons, "a loser can win whenever they choose to, all that they gotta, gotta do, is bring you down..." tehe.
DO WHAT YOU DO. not my favorite, but got stuck in my head the other day. poses the question, "have you ever been fake, for the sake of saving face?" i think for most people, that would be a yes. and if you don't know what the question means, tell me, i'll laugh.
HOLLYWOOD. first song i got. good, jazzy. trumpets and stuff.
SAFE RIDE. pretty good, not one of my favorites, but good.
THE LOCK DOWN DENIAL. like the title, but again, not a fave.
MARRIAGE TO MILLIONS. listening now... pretty good. not a fave. the last three, idk...
MISS SOBRIETY. haha. i like it. "hey, miss sobriety, do you remember me? or how to say my name?" is that because his hame is shaant? maybe... i like it. stuck in my head today.
TIME. slowest song. i like the faster, louder songs by CIWWAF better, but this is still good.
overall rating:: 4-5. probably closer to 5. 4.75?
top tracks to get:: (not in any order, it's too hard!)
loser
miss sobriety
doctor (!)
practice makes perfect
and even navigate me
if it was me, i'd get the whole cd, it's all good. either on itunes or the physical one.
can i just say, that shaant looks like he's on drugs or something. i compair how he looked in the Curse of Curves video, to how he looks in the Practice Makes Perfect video. he's lost weight, grown a scary beard, just not healthy looking, in my opinion.

WARPED TOUR

so i went to Vans Warped Tour last Friday with "M".

and we got there SO late, like 4:30, because SOMEONE had to work with kids, and probably contract diseases, so we had to leave late.

and you know what happened?!

WE MISSED EVERYONE OF IMPORTANCE!!

mayday parade

we the kings

every avenue (though we did meet them, more on that later)

forever the sickest kids (we saw the end of 'she's a lady' but then they were done, more on that later)

and we missed The Audition, but idk when they even played, so whatever.

I ALMOST CRIED!!!

so when we got there, we caught the end of FTSK, and i couldn't even name the song right at first, i haven't heard it in a while, okay?! gosh!

here's i think the lead singer of FTSK. kinda scary looking but whatever. he's with some random girl, sorry she's there.

and so we saw them, and they said they'd play later, at like 7, so at like 6:45 i went to their merch tent (merchantise, people! merch is my new fave word, too!) and asked the guy (very politley, very brave, cuz i HATE talking to people!) if they were playing later, and he's like "they already played today!" all snobby. sheesh, sorry for asking! gosh!

here's The Acadamy Is... the first band we saw. and i only knew one song by them, but now i like them more, so maybe i'll check 'em out! okay!?! yeah!?! i got TONS of pictures of that man.
in an attempt to save my face from the dangers of the internet, i colored a circle over it.
good?
that's... jimmie, dave, josh. and me. in my mayday parade shirt. how cute is that!! they made my day.
katy perry signing things.

and here's a live video of i kissed a girl. sorry about the woman in the black jumping around.

oh yeah, sorry that it took so long. i did have it up like two weeks ago, and it was posted, but then when i went in the next day, it was just a draft and i had to rewrite everything. what's up with that?!

THE ALMOST

SOUTHERN WEATHER
love this cd. got it at the library.
and no, it's not weather sounds, it's alternative rock music. jeez.
SAY THIS SOONER. didn't like it at first, but now it's one of my faves.
DRIVE THERE NOW. don't really listen to it, but it's good.
DIRTY AND LEFT OUT. loves it. sad, slow, repeats 'jesus' over and over. good.
I MOSTLY COPY OTHER PEOPLE. i love the names of these songs. good i guess.
SOUTHERN WEATHER. the title track, obviously. real good.
STOP IT. don't listen to this often either. it's good though, i'm listening to it right now.
AMAZING BECAUSE IT IS. real amazing (sorry, i had to) it's my favorite on the album, for sure. the chorus is 'amazing grace'. and then there's a choir. omgz. i love it like a lot. it's sad, and... really good.
EVERYONE HERE SMELLS LIKE A RAT. real good.
NEVER SAY 'I TOLD YOU SO'. pretty good, not one of my favorites, but good.
CALL BACK WHEN I'M HONEST. good, gets pretty stuck in my head.
EVERYTHING THAT MAKES ME SICK. good, not much to say.
total rating for the album::: i'd say 4-1/2 stars. good.
must listen to tracks, if not the whole album:: (in order i think)
amazing because it is
dirty and left out
say this sooner
southern weather
call back when i'm honest (maybe)
enjoy. do you like this format better, with the whole cd and not so much clutter? comment.

music and such ((from forever ago))

so some of these are old, but i haven't done this in quite some time
and then i wrote it, tried to publish it, and lost it all except for that first line. so now it's been even longer.

Forever the Sickest Kids. Underdog Alma Mater. omg they really are sick

• my worst nightmare. kind of techno'y. but i like it.

Panic at the Disco (now without the '!' which is crap because now it's under as two different bands on my ipod)

• nine in the afternoon. scary music video. but great lyrics, catchy.
  

New Found Glory

• It's not your fault. good lyrics, kinda catchy. i was supposed to be looking up NFG when i stumbled upon...

Mae. multi-sensory aesthetic experience. like my new favorite band of all time (oh, and stevie likes them too, it's on his myspace, just sayin...)

• we're so far away. beautiful piano part. like amazing. almost made me cry after leaving camp. i love it.
• someone else's arms. this is pretty too. and it fades into...


• suspension. seriously, like it fades. the end of SEA is like the beginning of suspension... you'll just have to listen. this is my fave song by mae. i love it.


• mistakes we knew we were making. good story and good lyrics. the last minute is kind of repetative, but i still like it

Metro Station (miley's brother, trace, and that mitchel musso's brother, mason, they met on the set of hannah montana!)

• kelsey. the cutest song ever. probably one of my faves by them. i love it love it. it was all i listened to for a while.
• shake it. of course! and every time i hear it i shake it. haha. loves it!

TOP 10

two partner dances again and solos, i don't talk about solos though, boring! oh, and they got new partners this week!
Courtney & Joshua-Hip Hop-Dave Scott,
it was like frankenstein or something, i liked it, a bit creepy
Rhumba-Jean Marc Genereaux,
joshua has a ginormous butt! holy crap! haha. okay rumba, not much hip stuff though.
Kherington & Mark-Two Step-Ronnie & Brandi
i dont' like them together, but whatever. it was like a western dance or something... not very good.
Jazz-Tyce DiOrio,
only a little good, not really though.
Comfort & Twitch-Smooth Waltz-Hunter Johnson,
oh yeah! comfort was kicked off, but jessica broke some ribs, so comfort's back! she won't leave! i though i was done with her, then she's back! like mildew or something! kinda bad waltz, that's jut not their style, and it showed.
Hip Hop-Dave Scott
duh, of course they were pretty good, both of them do hip hop. it was just whatever, i love twich, hate comfort.
Katee & Will-Broadway-Tyce DiOrio,
they're probably the most technical dancers. this was really good, they were like in this little boat prop, but they were still great.
Pas de Deux-Dwight & Desmond, Imagine-David Archuleta
fancy ballet! and Archie. are you serious!??!!! i almost cried. plus, then i didn't pay attention to the dancing, because i was screaming at archie. but they were really, really good. except katee got like suck in one turn thing, other than that, perfect.
Chelsia & Gev-Contemporary-Sonya,
this was cute, they were like a couple or something. i like sonya, i think it was good that they brought her to the show. the dance was pretty good. you'd never know that gev has no classical training.
Jive-Jean Marc Genereaux,
chelsie always gets the jive, it was pretty good, okay.

the very first episode of season 5!

YAY IT'S FINALLY HERE!

and "M", duh, of course i watched it up north! i wasn't in a tent!

the models are butt ugly this year.

i'm just gonna go through the designers with pics of them and the first designs!

GO!

jerell. not much air time for him. so i don't really know him.
please click to enlarge. he used a lawn chair. oh yeah, the challenge was bringing back the grocery store from season 1. and austin scarlet came! i was excited! i heart him! okay design...

jennifer. almost zero air time for this one. i think she has no personality.
and she used white paper towling! what personality!@!!!
emily. almost called her the wrong name. i don't know who she is either. what's up?
i actually kind of like this. i have no idea what she used to make it, but i like it.

daniel. kind of scary looking, kind of quiet. reminds me of... i don't know...

he made a dress out of blue plastic cups! can you believe it? i was like omgz! but i don't think it has very good movement. ugliest of the models.
blayne. crazy psyco. wears neon. and is obsessed with tanning. and saying "girlicious". he wants to make it like the next "fierce", but it's not gonna happen. i will NOT walk around saying girlicious!

entitled "girlicious". shocking. she even had it written on her leg. she looks like a playboy bunny.

kenley. almost got her confused with emily. but kenley gets more air time.

those are dodge balls holding things up! what the heck... i don't really like it.

this is kieth. how do you spell keith? i think the second way, which means by board is wrong. oh yeah! i had to change my whiteboard! it was a sad day. i dont think i like keith very much.

another tablecloth. everyone used them. it's okay.

joe. he has daughters. i think he's the only straight one, but maybe he's not straight... i do know that there's one though. i'll find him!

he used pasta and oven mits. need i say more?

suede. like the fabric. and the shoes. suede talks in third person about suede. like dominique.

used tablecloth and doggy bags. for poop. not dresses.

stella. stelllllllllllaaaaaaaa!!! haha, get it? she's a complainer, this one.
she was complaining that her "fabric" was "trash". well, it is trash bags. did anyone else notice that? the irony? she pics garbage bags, then calls them garbage! well duh! the dress is hideous.

leanne. not much airtime first episode. i like her.

she decided to add cookies to the tablecloth after tim called them all slackers. no, he said the judges would call them slackers. tim wouldn't say that. why didn't they all clap after he said make it work the first time? i would have...

korto. she's like, "i will be the second woman and first african american to win." whoa, there, wait till you make it to... say... top twelve.

it was just a big ole table cloth, but she used letuce and tomatoes (fruits, btw) for the neck thing. fancy! tasty!

wesley. he likes short shorts. nuff said.

i am murdering these pictures, i know. sue me. i thought this was pretty much beautiful. he used yellow fly swatters to make like flowery things... amazing. i thought.

terri. i have nothing really to say about her. she bores me, really.

this was cool cuz she used mop heads. but she thought she was so super awesome because of it. like, okay...

winner

((see, i haven't forgotten my thing that i do!))

what was that movie called? that thing you do? that was it i think... tom hanks? or a guy that looks like tom hanks? idk. it's a good movie though. it should be on some sort of list, if you catch my drift...

okay, now the winner, really

kelli. she's kinda dark, or... something. but i like her.

she used dye and bleech on vacuum bags. genius. and coffee filters. and gold push pins or something. and she used spiral notebook things to make latches on the back. like she was really creative and such.

Auf'd

jerry. this guy scared me. and he was a snob. he was like "i'm already on my way to being really big in the industry" then why are you on here, and why are you auf'd already if you're so great?!! he was just creepy.

and so was this outfit. like seriously, who makes that? it was just boring and had no color and what if i start writing it colour and i pretend i'm english?

i'd say pretty good first episode, the right man went home. sorry i'm so late.

AN EGG ON THREE STICKS

JACKIE MOYER FISCHER
somebody laughed at me when i said i was gonna read this.
i really really like this book
and it was sad, manno. it made me cry just a little and if you know me you know i don't cry but i did for this which that is crazy but true.
i wasn't like bawling though. i learned how to spell bawling from Wake. haha thank you lisa mcmann......
ooohh... now i wanna read that book again. only 190 days till Fade, i have a countdown on my computer! i get sooo sidetracked!
Abby's mom has some mental heath issues and egg is just about abby growing up and dealing with her mother, which isn't easy to deal with. and i like how the book is writen, kinda like how we talk, with very few punctuation and stuff. and she says 'which' a lot which is weird, but okay.
and i totally knew how it was going to end, but i was still surprised. and there's some big 'ole twists and crap in this book, which is good, but still, crazy.
so yeah, sometimes, maybe you shouldn't laugh at a book just because it has a funny title, which i still don't know why it's called what it is but whatever.
and now i talk like abby, and maybe poppy too, but i'm not sure, probably not, which i don't say things like weirdamundo yet, so that's a good sign.
i'll stop now.

THE CATCHER IN THE RYE

J. D. SALINGER
famous literature. apparently we'll read it down the line (like college, no probably high school) and have to analyze it.
i'm wayy ahead of everyone else.
this was mentioned in Perks (charlie was told to read it) and in the reviews for another book that i will be reading soon. so i was like, hey, i might as well...
this was really good.
it's about Holden (crazy name, right?) but a good crazy name... i like it. i'll name my kid that and people will be like huh? and i'll say, duh, the catcher in the rye!
oh! i was watching full house the other day and the punk (i now know his name is steve, dj's bf) and jesse both had to write a book report so they decided to split it up. lazy! i told you he was a punk!
but anyway, holden runs away from school, well, he's expelled, but he leaves a little early. and so he can't go home for a few days. so he hides out in new york, renting hotel rooms and such. he drinks and smokes a lot. and swears a lot, manno. but it's not bad.
so yeah, i liked this book. the ending was kind of confusing, but not really, i know what happened, but they don't tell you. it's good.
i advise reading it now, so then when ((if)) you have to in later years, it'll be the second time and your comprehension will be greater.
i sound smart...
oh and i kind of love why it's called the catcher in the rye. that's what holden wants to be, a catcher in the rye, to run and catch people who are running through the rye fields and are about to fall off a cliff.
loves it!

weather

why is it so dark out? it's like 4:30, not 8:30. is a storm a brewin'?

that scary zoo!

so i went to the zoo the other day for my dad's hospital's work picnic thing.
which was pretty fun, i have to admit it.
i had... 4 cotton candies. or 5? i don't remember. sister had 5 cups of popcorn.
we ate A LOT.
it was free though, so we just shoveled it.
i saw the alpacas!
and we got free zoo mobile rides, so we went, looking for my sister's old teacher.
we found him later, picking up trash, after he parked cars. glorious job.
and we had free marry-go-rounds, so i sat on a pony that i named Georgia.
sister wanted the bunny but this girl stole it.
and my dad wanted the dragon lizard thing, but a short mexican boy in front of us stole it. i knew he would,too. i was like, dad, you're gonna have to fight, because i just know those boys want the dragon.
my father then just sat on a spinning bench.
and we had free skyglider rides, which brings me to the point of my story (yes, there is one).
the skyglider at the zoo TURNS AROUND. it's a round trip! so at the end, there's this spinning circle, and you make a turn.
omg it was soooo scary.
i screamed like i was on a roller coaster. seriously. loud.
then we went on again, and i had to be by myself. so i screamed again. then we just stayed on for another round, because the men said we could because it was free. and this man on the thing, i passed him, and he's like "i've seen you already!" and i was like... :)
i think i held in my scream on the last turn around, though i wanted to.
so, from now on i have a rule.
i will only do terrifying, death defying things for, and with, a cute boy.

to buy, or not to buy?

how do i know if i should buy a book?
because i love buying books. i love owning books. i LOVE it.
but they're sooo expensive. and i've decided that buying books kills unneccessary trees, but i can't stop myself.
it's too hard!
and i want to own the perks of being a wallflower
and wake
((although i would have to wait for Wake to be in paperback, hardcover makes me madder)) ((which means i'll be waiting for another year for that one))
and Perks is like 14 or 15 bucks. and hardcover Wake is like 16 bucks.
i don't have $30 to dish out for books!
((but i'm not buying hardcover wake, so the price should be lower))
and, i don't want to kill the trees!
but it's either buy them or steal them from the library, or just constantly renew them. i've had Perks for way too long.
i just like having it there, knowing that i could read it whenever i wanted.
maybe i just need some barns and nobel gift cards for mi cumpleano. (hinthint.) (JK)
and i need to study my espanol...

problem

i think the time is off on this, i did not post that last one at 5:53 in the morning. i don't know why it's wrong. it was totally like 8:00 in the morning. big diff.

CHLOE DOES YALE

NATALIE KRINSKY
"M" told me to read this too. i thought she'd read it. nope, she just grabbed a random book off the shelf and told me to read it. but put a book in front of me and tell me to read it, and i probably will.
SUPER DIRTY.
because chloe is a sex columnist for the yale daily news. she's just like rory, only dirtier!
so at the end of every chapter, there's one of her columns. about doing things with hands, or mouths, or faking things, or breaking up.
apparently this girl doesn't do a lot of studying at yale, because when she's talking about her life, it's all parties.
a naked party. i will probably not be attending one of those in my lifetime, but maybe. i never know.
the end is cute though, and not all of the book is uber dirty.
just most of it.
but yeah, i liked the end the best. oh, and chloe's like really funny. so you'll be laughing while you cringe.
just kidding, no cringing.

THE AMAZING DAYS OF ABBY HAYES: DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE

ANNE MAZER
I FOUND HER WEBSITE!
apparenly it's where abby likes to hang out or something.
"M" made me read this. it was kind of good though.
definately not my reading level.
though, seeing as i don't really know if i spelled definately right, maybe it is...
this is what i get for going to the library with a crazy person.

THE SECRET BLOG OF RAISIN RODRIGUEZ

JUDY GOLDSCHMIDT
who names a kid raisin?
i was like dieing when i read this book, it was so funny.
hellen keller joke! who doesn't love hellen keller jokes? and, yes, i know they're mean, but i think they're hilarious.
and raisin is just like me! did her parents really not know about it, or was it secret because nobody but her two friends could read it? i'm stumped...
yeah, cuz raisin moved from Cali to Philly ((where they have marvelous accents)) and she decides to write to her friends using a blog. so she's not really my twin or anything...
and she is so funny, like i was laughing on the first page when she told people without tongues to seek medical aid. haha.
you'd have to read it i guess.
she is a really crazy girl though, like how would you think of doing those things?
and who names a kid raisin? i don't even enjoy raisins...

THE ADORATION OF JENNA FOX

MARY E. PEARSON

pretty good book.

it's like in the future, and jenna just woke up from a year and a half long coma.

uh-oh.

and she can't remember anything about her life or the accident that put her into a coma.

traumatizing.

so i was like guessing stuff and i was so right. it was good, kind of confusing, not really.

nothing else to say.

except, who names a kid Locke?
