ha-cha-cha

]It is ridiculously hot these days and I don’t understand where the heat is coming from. Bleh.

Moving on, Melba has confirmed my beliefs and sevendust is INDEED in the lineup for big day out. So go ahead, get excited.

I reread an old favorite for my book project as well. The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood, great book. You know when you read a book when you’re younger and you remember it as a good book? If you have a book like that I suggest you reread  it. The books that I really enjoy and reread I always enjoy more because i catch more and understand more having “aged” a bit more. (I say “aged” because I’m not sure who would laugh if i said “grown up”). Some books like Junie B Jones you can’t do this with because they’re like second grade books and you only appreciate it when you’re little and like that stuff with the font that takes up a quarter of the page. (They are good books though). But I didn’t really like the movie about this book, even seeing it before reading the book. I’ll have to watch it again  I’m sure but the book is always better and is in this case. I’d have to say though along with the reading a good book comes emotional attachment. I’m not going to hide the fact that when I really get into a book, I can sob like a baby if it’s sad. How can you not when you’re basically enveloped in another world and someone dies or something happens that just makes you tear up subconsciously? I do feel a little stupid when someone asks why I’m crying and I respond with, “The book..it’s just so good.”

Some people understand and others just stare wide eyed before they walk away or just shake their head in confusion. This is why I don’t read in public if I can help it. The other thing about good books is that it can help you get away. Not even like anything is wrong but it makes everything perfect if you get into it. If I’m really into a book and I get lost in the storyline I can get shaken out of it by a phone call or someone calling my name and I’m suddenly very optimistic about life. Of course the opposite happens if I’m shaken out during a sad/angry part of the book. The point is that you get very involved, or at least I do. And Mrs. Waterhouse. When I told her I cried like a baby in Kite Runner she wholeheartedly agreed. So yeah.. pick up a book.

 

OH and have a great summer everyone

 p.s. That’s the sun

I’m sorry.. did anyone else think that the “new kids on the block” had fallen off the face of the earth? I looked up “summertime” on youtube and this…is what I found. A 2008 single? Hahah, this is going to make Meghan’s day.

you’ll only insult me if you don’t listen to the whole thing.

I’m just kidding, you should problably stop now. It’s painful. Infact you’ll problably insult me if you do listen to the whole thing.

I think its gonna be okay

First off I took my SATs this saturday and got there a half hour early to sit there which was dandy because I could’ve been sleeping but noo. We went inside to sit some more, got into our rooms to test and started. It wasn’t that bad I guess but some of the questions I skipped because they were a little tricky. There weren’t too may distractions except for the godawful heat when it got later in the afternoon, some boy to my left who kept snapping his fingers and at one point when he opened the test was like ‘yes! yes!” because he understood it or something, and then some weird sandpaper noise outside the window that made me cringe. I’m not sure how I did on the essay or the test overall but hopefully I did well.

I was listening to the radio yesterday and I think my summer has been made. well not made but brightened. becauuuuse guess who’s coming to big day out? (Well I heard it on the radio and it says on whrl.com that they’re going but the band’s website doesnt say anything yet so I can’t actually get excited) Sevendust! aand nonpoint! So if they are going I’m going. woot woot

OTher than that? School’s almost over aand summer’s almost here woohoo. My job also starts soon which is eh because on the one hand i’ll have money and whatnot, the other being i actually have to get up and do things lol. but im more excited then bummed yayy summer.

that makes no sense

Other than the fact that I need to have ten posts by a certain date for english I just feel like writing today. I was also wondering if anyones going to use these after we don’t need to write in them anymore. It could be a connection to keep us together after highschool? Or it could be discarded as another school thing and no one goes on and we all lose touch, grow old, and die never knowing what eachothers’ last blog posts were… Or we could just keep touch normally.

By the way the title has nothing to do with the post I just couldn’t think of a title.

Apparently my posts are very long, Doug told me so, so i suppose I’ll shorten this one up.

Does anyone else think that we’ve been ruined by television, movies, radio, etc.? I mean not because we’re all zoned into it all of the time and its a waste of money/time or anything. But I mean because everyone has romanticized ideas of life. I for one feel that atleast I have been. Things in life that shouldn’t be disappointments to me are sometimes because I expect more and I can’t help it. I mean I don’t expect the world to be taken over by aliens and since i’m my own main character I turn into the hero and save everyone and the world. I mean that in normal situations. I don’t want to mention any single situation but one could be friendships. I’d have to say that I have some really great friendships. But the movies have ruined some moments for me I think. They’re completley drama filled yes I know this and some of the movies are based on true stories but they’ve molded my mind to make it feel like that’s how things should be. Friends forever no matter what and you can always rekindle it and be the same people right? Nah. I’ve lost some of my best friends either because they’ve moved away or we’ve just lost touch. It’s not that I don’t like them we’re just different now and I don’t think it could be the same. Maybe you get what I’m saying and maybe you don’t, and i could care less. But that’s what i think and i hate movies and such because of it. Everything should be picture perfect right?
