Homework...

I should be doing my homework right now but i have successfully procrastinated a hundred point assignment to the last day... I know i know i should be working on it right now, but i am having a mind blockage, and when i have a mind blockage, i need a distraction, so aren't you guys lucky? I shouldn't have gone to soccer practice today but i promised my teammate (whose name i shall not release) Breaking Dawn and i didn't like not following through. But i realized something. when i play soccer i don't stress out. Well yeah, i stress out, but only about screwing up in front of PEPE (The soccer master) or my coach. But i didn't worry about my history project like i am now. Ugh, i just want to sleep, seriously, i need to prioritize. I also have to finish my english project about a children story we have to write and that is due monday. but this weekend is my best friend birthday party and she invited around 60 people, and i am sleeping over and i don't know how i am going to fit in that to my schedule, i will probably do it tomorrow, so i don't have to worry about it on the weekend weekend. I have decided for high school that i am done with P.E. I know this isn't book related, but i need to tell someone. I am going to try out for the soccer team and the volleyball team and my last resort is cross country. ugh. I really want to make the soccer team, but i heard it is really hard to. I also heard that next year that the volleyball coach is looking for tall players and i am not that short. 14 years old, 5'6" not too bad. Well i am tall compared to many of my fellow eighth graders at my school. Also i do have some volleyball experience, i made the 6 and 7th grade teams even tho then i had no experience. I plan to try out for it again this year as long as the practices aren't on tuesday and thursdays because those are my days for soccer. I love volleyball and all, but i don't pay a arm and a half of a leg to play for the middle school team. Okay, i should stop procrastinating and get it over with it. Wish me luck, and send telepathic signals to my History teacher to give me an A. Lewis and Clark. You gotta hate them. well at least for this moment in time.

Jinx


Jinx
Meg Cabot
Okay, just to start off at, Meg Cabot has written some of my favorite books. For example, the Mediator series.. loved it. Too bad it ended. So when i read Jinx, i expect it to be good. Well, it was okay. It could have been better, if i say so myself. It is one of those books that take a while to start but once you do, you want to see what happens. It is a light book, and that might be part of my decision of my "okay" vote. it is kind of absurd in part due to Tory aka Torrence. So okay so here's what it is about. Jean aka Jinx, has been a bad luck magnet all her life, but there is a reason for that... but i won't tell you because that would ruin the story. SO when she moves to NY to get away for a while, and goes to live with her uncle and aunt, there is this whole cousinly rivalry. I have a feeling that meg cabot wanted to have the effect where she leaves you with a bunch of questions and answers them at the end, and she did that... but not very well in my opinion. So it is an okay book but again, i have read way better. This is an easy read.

Coming Soon...

So i went to Borders (am i allowed to talk about them on the internet?) and bought a book called Wake. I also received the book Identical from my friend for my birthday. THANKS ANDIE BEAST (inside joke, read Speak, by Laurie Halse Anderson (forgot to write about that one, will later) to figure it out(but when you do, andie isn't like andy)(just a funny coincidence)). I went to the library and got Lucky T and Boy Meets Girl, which i wrote about. Also Code Orange, This Lullaby, a Dessen book, Hero, and Jinx, another Cabot book. so i have alot of reading to catch up on. I have been known to buy books faster than i can read them, but that is okay with me. Have any suggestions to what books i should read. Give me a book, i'll be sure to read it asap. And don't worry it will be a while before i run out of books. (i always have that nightmare, that i'll read all the good books and they won't get any more for a while. NIGHTMARE). Hey tell me about all your book induced nightmares. 

Boy Meets Girl

Boy Meets Girl
Meg Cabot
Okay, so an upgrade to what I have been reading lately. You might not pick this one up because it is written through emails, instant messages, letters, journal entries... anything but a straight forward story, but it makes you think and figure things out. Don't get me wrong, i don't favor these kinds of books that often, but it is nice to switch it up once in a blue moon. So this girl, Kate, she just dumped her boyfriend of ten years cause he won't commit and wants to take everything one day at a time. Living on her best friend couch trying to find a cheap studio in NY. Has to fire the nice pie lady in her building because she refused to give pie to some customers because "they know why". Enter Mitch, stereotyped by Kate because he's lawyer and brother of the evil Stuart. He's having problems with his family and his brother (Stuart) 's fiance' because she's evil. When Mitch and Kate meet it's instant chemistry, though, their situations are complicating things, like the ex and distressed little sis who keep on popping up at the worst moments. Read. 

A Pet Peeve...

Okay so you know when you read books, the characters sometimes have conversations on the phone? Well i hate when one character (lets say Peeta) calls another character (Katniss)(characters from my favorite book). Well so Peeta calls katniss but he's the first one to say hello. Okay i know usually when someone calls me that i am the first one to say hello or something, but i guess that's not how it works in books and all the character are magically psychic and know when to say hello before the other can, or they are so retarded they keep on saying hello every 2 milliseconds and when the other person says it back, they are good to go. This is definitely not a diss to Katniss and Peeta cause i love katniss and peeta even more. just used them in the example. I promise if i ever write a book i will not do that. As a promise to myself and to you, my loyal.... 4 viewers. Thanks by the way for that.

Lucky T





Lucky T
Kate Brian
Okay another filler. Okay first of all what kind of sane person would run all the way India from San Francisco to find a tee shirt? And even though the guy Dee (i know weird nickname for a guy) sound like a nice enough person, he seem a little to bipolar for my liking. I also think that the beginning is a little too short and vague to explain the degree of luckiness she has. Okay so somewhat lame story. Kate Brian, if your reading this... umm... stick with your private, last christmas, and privilege kind of stories because compared to those, your other books are kind of substandard. And so far i have read the Princess and the Pauper and same result of opinion. Sorry. Read if you have to or are really don't care and have a mission to read all the books in the world (oh that's me).
