Twilight

Grade: A
"About three things I was absolutely positive.
First, Edward was a vampire.
Second, there was a part of him- and I didn't know how dominion that part might be- that thirsted for my blood.

And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably
in love with him." -twilight


This one's about a girl (Bella) who falls in love with a modern Vampire (Edward). Unfortunately their happiness is short lasted...
Even though Edward and his family are "vegetarians" (they only drink animal blood) there are Vampires who drink the blood of humans. In this story there's one evil Vampire in particular, he calls himself the Hunter. He tracks and kills humans for the fun of it...And his sights are set on Bella.
Now I'm normally not one for love stories, but this book also combines adventure and fantisy two of my absolute favorate genres, not to mention some horror and mythology.
The second one in this trilogy (New Moon) is due out October 2006 and the working title for the third is eclipse

Disaster Trip

CEDER POINT!!!!!!!

Actually the trip it's self was great! Ceder Point was awsome I went on allmost every ride, exept for the Mantis, Mileniam Force, and the Magnum. (But I'm going back in two weeks so I'll go on those then.)

I't was the ride back that was horrable! Behind us were the most obnoxious, idiotic, ridiculous, annoying, bastardy, *bleeping* idiots I’ve ever seen. Katie and Diana had fallen asleep so they missed the worst of it. But me, Nay, and Amanda were awake and ferocious.
First of all they were really loud when other people were trying to sleep, and Secondly they were making fun of a poor kid in the bathroom who was throwing up. At first we asked them politly to stop but when they didn't we snaped on them. Then one of them "accidentally" fell on poor Amanda, and man did she look pissed.
I was beyond my snapping point! I wanted to literally kill them! But I didn't, even though I came really close to knocking one girl out. Don't worry dispite my hatred towards them I resisted causing any phyisical harm.
Finnally the delayed trip came to an end. Only it didn't stop there. Oh no. I was talking to another freind who was sitting on another bus, telling them about the current events, when allong passes one of them.
"You shouldn't be talk'n shit about people" were her exact words, not mine hers. And can we say Hippocate? I mean come on! they were the one's who were making fun of a poor sick kid, and they have the gall to tell us not to talk about people. I would have kicked her 'you know what' right then and there If Amanda hadn't stopped me...

My Book of the Week

And the Book of the Week is...
MAXIMUM RIDE!!!!
Grade: A+
Actually Maximum Ride and the Sequel.

Yes, I know the title is Book of the Week not Books of the Week. But you just can't choose between these two.

This story is an awsome mix of X-men and a teen novel. It's about six kids who were geneticly exparimented on. The reasults in these experements left them with wings and other body functions needed to fly.(among other things) Now they've excaped 'The School' (the sic and twisted place they were experiment on) and are on the run from the schools gaurds, Erasers, an evil half human half wolf mix.

There's more to the story but I'm not gonna tell you, it'd run it...and it's just more fun to make you wait.


If you're looking for an adventurous and new book look no further because Maximum Ride 1&2 are the best books I've come acrossed in a long time.

X-MEN 3

My sister went to go see it THREE DAYS BEFORE IT HIT THEATERS! She got press passes from a friend on the news paper...

I saw it today... needless to say the traitor didn't take me... *pouts sighlently*

Anyways it was cool, but I think they should have focused a little more on the fighting then the whole romance thing. I mean is this an Action movie or a lover's film?

My Blog

Man, If it were possible to actually die of boredom I'd probally drop dead. Anyways I've just finished the second Maximum Ride book and after reading about Fang's blog I became inspired to start my own.
So here I am...
You know, I have way too much time on my hands.
