So, I haven't updated in, like, almost a month...that's bad. Let's see what's happened in that time ( Read more... )

This week has been ridiculous. Ridiculously AWESOME!! We left for Chicago on Monday around noon and we have been pretty much non-stop since then. Of course, we've all had extremely early bedtimes, but whatever. That happens when you're walking around the city all freaking day long ( Read more... )

While reading Eragon and it's sequel, Eldest, I've come to notice some things about me that time has seemed unable to change.

1.) If I find myself enamored by a certain character, and they appear to be in mortal danger, I will flip ahead in the book to make sure they're actually alright. I did it for every Harry Potter book since Goblet of Fire. ( Read more... )

I'm revising my reading list. Since Brave New World has been sitting in my purse, unread for the past two to three days, I've basically given up on it for this summer. So, I have also given up on any other "classic" books. I'll leave those for when my mind thinks "Hey, shouldn't you be going to school now?" in late August. In their place, I've ( Read more... )

Heh. So, I realized today that my book buying is *far* from over. Okay, it's at least 2 books away from being over for the summer. How do I know this? I found at least $15 in coins in my room today and all I could think was "I could roll these, exchange them at the bank for real money and take a trip to Half-Price Books!" That's how I know. ( ( Read more... )

You know what's really bothering me now? The fact that there is a petition online to get Tom Felton to play Riley in Eclipse. THEY ALREADY TOOK ROB PATTINSON AWAY FROM US! THEY ARE NOT TAKING TOM FELTON AWAY FROM THE HARRY POTTER FANDOM, TOO!!!!! And, why would I want to see him actually be killed? Just sayin'. I mean, it's going to be ( Read more... )

I have done everything they've asked of me since I've been home. Do the dishes. Move the laundry along. Help me put this swing together. Take Dad's backpack out to him at Ford. Bake the fleur de lis cookies for Grant's Court of Honor. Find out how much it costs to have latex balloons blown up. Pick up this plaque. Get your clothes out of ( Read more... )

Today, I actually have to finally settle in back home. Yes, I've been home for two weeks and have set up a couple things in my room, but I've also been living out of my suitcase and other bags of clothes. So, I guess it's time. And, really, what else am I going to do today? The weather is so gloomy. Time to crank up the Green Day and get to ( Read more... )

I've been setting these reading quotas every day for the past week or so. It's all a load of bullshit. I think "Okay, I'm only going to read these next ninety pages today," and then I stay up 'til 1AM finishing the book because I move the quota. "Well, if I get to this point, because it's only another 20 pages, I can finish the book tomorrow and ( Read more... )

Well, it looks as though I'm not doing much in regards to *actual* traveling this summer. While this bums me out, this does not mean that I will have to miss out on some fantastic places. Why? Because I have set a goal to read twenty books this summer. I have cut off summer at August 14th. I'm not exactly sure why, but I have. Luckily, this ( Read more... )
