The Bad

Lena really reminds me of Elena form The Vampire Diaries, because she can be whiney. I mean, yes we understand about what’s going on, okay? Stop talking about it!
Also, they harp on how –apparently--southerns are all bible toting nut jobs with guns. Thank you, thank you for alienating half of your audience and insulting half of my family. And they’re not even subtle about it. Just write “Republicans are from the devil” and have it out, for gods sake. When you shame subtly, it makes it, just ten times as obvious. If I wanted to know about your opinions of politics-I’d ask you, or read your blog. Stop alienating your audiences. And that’s what authors like this do. I mean I have no, no problem with opposing views, and themes in books. But here’s the thing. These are supposed to be in the story, not the story in the themes. Subtly is a real problem I have with authors today which is one of the main reasons I despise reading Tamora Peirce’s books. There is no subtlety-none what so freaking ever. I mean, they make this book a freaking platform to bash where they come from. Nice, class act, really.
And, Sarah Dessen is the only one to really get teenagers and bullies correct. They are not like gossip girl, they are not loud and constantly in your face. They’re quite and cruel. Another book that doesn’t quite capture what true bullying is.

The Good

The story is unique, the characters are believable and the narrator -I just love him. It was so interesting seeing someone fall in love from a guys POV. I am a firm believer that the YA genre is saturated with girl narrators and nothing for boys. I want to read about boys! I want to know how they think, and plus they don’t bullshite like girls do, about emotions too much. They just are-which half the time is wonderful because that’s what really turns me off is constant analyzing and monologuing.

The terminology, Casters, is really great. It’s such a completely new take that I was blown away. Theres more I'd like to say, but truly it be spoiling it, go read it!!!

Rated: 7.5/10 (Pretty Good!)
 
Buy/Borrow: It’s very long, almost 600 pages, so at times it can become a chore, and there’s little to none re read value-you go through it once and you get it, so I’d say borrow from the library when it comes out. You really should read it!

Do you know how much it sucks having no study hall with all your courses major courses you have everyday?  Yeah, well-a lot.

Once again I press that this journal will soon be going 'Friend's Only'.  Please Please Comment me if I have not friended you.  It is most likely my bad and I will friend you immediately.  I love reading other's blogs and having people read mine.  Just a reminder ;-)

I do have one question though, if you go Friend's Only, can you still watch communities with out joining them?  Much obliged if some one could answer that.

Nothing much is goin on at the moment.Watching a really good NCIS episode right after a great SVU.  I love Elliot-he's just too funny.

Jurz is coming over this weekend-I'm so happy.  I haven't seen her in so long!!!

Thats about it.  My computer is going haywire and I have no clue whats doing it.  Ah well.  Broken one more time and I get a complete new one! :-3

Hugh Lurie (sp?) can do an American accent so well!!!

IMPORTANT

So I've finaly decided-I'm going to make my journal privet soon.  I'll  post when  the exact date when I do put it under 'privet'.  So there are some people who have friended me with out me knowing, if you'd still like to read this blog, just comment and I'll be more than happy to add you :-3

So on to the first day of the new semester.

I have English first block-yay, so I can fail because of being tired!  Latin scares me because IN need to study everyday and thats really hard for me to do.  I'm the kind of person who sits down and studies for a long period, not for five minutes some times.  Art seems okay-it might be a little boring though.

Some one tell me why we have to do written reports in Art class?

History seems droll too, wich is sad.  It's my favorite subject.  Also I'm the only kid that answers or knows anyhting-so it should be a breeze.

House on to night!!!!!

Going to watch!!!!

'...Cause you have
Turned into my worst enemy
You carry hate that I feel
It's over now
What have you done
What have you done now
I, I've been waiting for someone like you
But now you are slipping away
(what have you done now)
Why? why does fate make us suffer
There's a curse between us
Between me and you.'

Within Temptation - 'What Have You Done Now?'


Is it  just me or does anyone else that in Swenney Todd when Todd and Lovett are dancing in 'A Little Priest,' their spinning far too smoothly to be using their own feet?

Has anyone else noticed when your depressed or crying-or about the have a 'weep-a-thon,' that they usually put on a sweat shirt?  What is it about the sweat shirt that is comforting?

And I'd appreciate it if anyone could point me the the direction of Mrs. Lovett screen caps.  Much obliged.

Anyway I went to Cabela's today-more like was dragged their for a family 'outing.'  Sure-anyway it's this huge hunting store.  I realized that these people bore me to death...but now I really want to go geese hunting.

Don't look at me like that-you hate Canadian Geese as much as me.  It's not like I want to shoot a deer, *shiver*.

Anyway...I got runts so this day was productive in a way.

Nothing else much to report...watching Dance Cook, thinking about the quote-a-thon I had with Amy.
