Sometimes I really love my family, simply because we have conversations like this:

Tess: Nora, I need to ask you something.  
Me: Sure, shoot.
Tess: Ok, it says on this card that I get a free flip flop the next time I go to Victoria's Secret.  But, does it mean that I only get one shoe?
Me: .... *blank stare*
Tess: Because it says flip flop instead of ( Read more... )

Went to see Harry Potter with Erin today and OH MY GOD IT WAS AMAZING.  Really, oh my god, just so good.  We went for an 11:15 showing, and we got there around 10:30 thinking we'd have to beat the lines to get a good seat, but the building was practically deserted!  We were one of the first people in our theatre, which was only about half full by ( Read more... )

Just finished reading Gordon Korman's I Want to Go Home, and oh was it good!  I am just loving all of his books, especially Semester in the Life of a Garbage Bag and the MacDonald Hall series.  And now I really want to write Mike/Rudy and Raymond/Sean -- I couldn't fall asleep last night because little snippets of stories kept whizzing through my ( Read more... )

HELLO AND WELCOME!

A little introduction: I'm a short girl with glasses living in a tiny town in New Jersey, and I'll be a senior in high school this coming September.  Please do not ask me if I know what college I want to go to or what I want to major in.  It will make me cry.  I like reading in awkward and uncomfortable-looking positions, blasting ( Read more... )
