Back for now
So...it's probably bad that lj has a new banner since the last time I posted. Not sure how long it's been there, but yeah. Anyway, had an awesome trip to Ireland! Dublin was cool, but my favourite parts were in little tiny towns on the countryside. Kinda made me feel that I'd like to live somewhere smaller than Acton. Let the jokes commence. I just ( Read more... ) -
My sudden penchant for emo poetry continues
Things break
A cascade of shattered pieces fall
Sunlight catches
jagged edges
A glimpse of warmth and a rosy glow
A flash of promise
Disappears
Emptiness remains
A black maw envours all
The final piece falls
Into the abyss
Nothingness
Gone. -

Back into the Belly of the Beast
So, I'm about to go back into practicum. To psych myself up for it, I thought I would put a motivational quote here.
When that life turned against us, we comforted ourselves in the knowledge that it really wasn't our fault, not really. You cannot play God then wash your hands of the things that you've created. Sooner or later, the day comes when you ( Read more... ) -
Life
So...it's been a while. Apparently when there isn't much of anything interesting going on in my life, I have nothing to say here. Winter is cold, school is both boring and difficult.

Books 45-46
Vampire Mountain by Darren Shan
Genre: YA Supernatural Fantasy Romance
Part of a Series? Cirque du Freak, book 4
Rating: 8/10
This was pretty typical Darren Shan fare, except for the fact that 6 years have passed since book 3. It's sad, in a way, because Darren hasn't aged, but his former best friend is an adult now. Still - a good book in which the ( Read more... ) -
Book 44
Blood Witch by Cate Tiernan
Genre: YA Supernatural Fantasy Romance
Part of a Series? Sweep, book 3
Rating: 8.5/10
I really like the way each book in the series feels like a part of a whole, instead of its own individual unit. There were so many questions raised in this book that were never answered, but I'm sure they will be later on in the series. ( Read more... ) -

Wow, this book was really not good. So corny and the heroine was utterly ridiculous.
Prospero's Children by Jan Siegel
Genre: Fantasy
Part of a Series? no
Rating: 7.5/10
I wasn't really expecting to like this book, but it was actually really cool. ( Read more... )
