So Glad.
That 2010 is over after tonight. It’s been very possibly the worst year of my life.
It’s a great sigh of relief that today is the last day, finally.
I want a lot to change in 2011.
Here’s to hoping..
Black Cloud of Doom.
Turning 18. Enough said? Probably not..
I want to be an adult, not a teenage-adult-child.
Get the idea? Probably not..
I’m slightly crazy but I’m genuinely dreading it.
I wish your music wasn't so catchy and relatable.
♪ Here it is again, yet it stings like the first time. Seems it never ends, double nickels on your dime. I thought that we were friends; I guess it just depends who you ask. These feelings tend to leave me with a whole in my chest. ♪
If I cut my heart out of my chest it will seize to matter if it’s broken, right?
Novel Necessity: Say The Word by Jeannine Garsee
I really, really enjoyed this novel.
A gay mother, a displaced brother, an angry father.
A dramatic, attention stealing combination.
I fell in love with the characters and plan to reread this one many times.
Get a copy, it’s great.
Reading is bliss. :)
Most People Celebrate
This is ridiculously stupid. I don’t know what to do. I know that I can’t be weak, I have to, for once in the past two years, stick up for myself. I need to put my foot down. I need to do the one thing that could cause me to lose the one person I feel most connected to.
Knowing what I need to do doesn’t make it any easier though.. Why does what I need to do make me feel like my...
How about you be Harry and I’ll be Ginny.. ♥
Novel Necessity: Response by Paul Volponi
Would’ve posted last night but I forgot.. Then my internet was down.
Needless to say Response was absolutely amazing.
It’s a rather short novel but it’s got a good story with a good moral.
I enjoyed it.
Get a copy, I plan to read the other novels he’s written, I’ll let you all know how they are. :)
Reading is bliss.
Novel Necessity: Because I Am Furniture by Thalia...
Because I Am Furniture is a verse novel. I’m somewhat uneasy about verse novels normally because I’m such a big Ellen Hopkins fan. I feel like no one will ever measure up.
Regardless of my being uneasy I really enjoyed the book. It’s a devastating story of abuse. Even though there is abuse there is also a great satisfying ending.
The book is over 350 pages but I got through it...
I just realized...
I don’t think I went swinging at all this summer and I’m really upset now.
I really, really want to go swing..
Why did I take such advantage of the great weather?
Why did I let it slip away?
Novel Necessity: Scarlett Fever by Marlene Johnson
Finished this almost a week ago, it’s been a hellish week. Sorry I didn’t post sooner.
Needless to say I absolutely loved this book and it’s prequel.
They are a cute, quirky story that completely had me praying that they never ended. (Suite Scarlett is the prequel.)
They’re based around the life of a teen girl who lives in a hotel, works for an agent, and has a different...
My head is pounding, I’m furious, this week is never going to end.
Service.
It’s a great thing, I love to give back. It really helps me relax to think about something besides myself and my little, tiny problems. I feel like an I’ve been to too many AA meetings by saying that but it really does help. I didn’t go into this thinking it’d make me feel good once I had done it but I’ve felt really calm since. To me baking three dozen cookies and...
Accomplishment.
You know you’ve made a serious accomplishment when you give your grandmother a freshly baked cookie and she oozes over how delicious it is for five minutes. :)
I feel wonderful right now.
