Bored, Exhilerated, Sorry.

I declare this week: New hair and makeup every day week. Why? Because I'm getting bored with my life. Pretty pathetic, if you ask me. And I've noticed that when my hair and makeup look good, I can focus better in school. How? I don't know. I have no idea how it works. So as soon as i've finished typing this, I'm going to pull out this month's Teen Vogue and look for new things to do. Maybe it will make me excited to go back to school. Now, apart from this, I've been getting a lot of letters from colleges. This is so exciting. I guess you go 17 years without getting any mail and then suddenly you're getting tons of generic letters from important individuals, it's exhilerating. That's all I have to say today. I realize my blog entries are less than fantastic, but I'm going to work harder to write more interesting things. I just need interesting things to happen first. :) Goodbye for now!

Revoltingly Young

Hello! As promised, here I am. I don't really have much to say, but I would LOVE to take a moment to talk about my favorite *ever* series. The Youth in Revolt series by CD Payne. They are honestly hilarious, somewhat confusing, and informative in certain ways. I can honestly say that my first daughter will be named Sheeni, since it is frowned upon by my parents to change my name to Sheeni. I would reccommend it to anyone, but ESPECIALLY teenagers. The books are $10 on Kindle, which is somewhat pricey, but it's worth it! Currently I'm reading the 5th book in the series, Revoltingly Young, and I've recently learned that CD Payne is working on a 6th book called (brace yourselves) The Son of Youth in Revolt. I'm rather excited to read it as well. Any way, that's all I had to say. Have a good day!

Another waste of space.

The last time I blogged, I talked about the "Smash Book". Needless to say, I fell in love. I've been Smash Book-ing as often as my schedule permits, and as soon as I'm done I'll post the photos here. On to the next thing. I'm going to start writing on here everyday. Maybe start posting the pros and cons of my day and whatnot, with a picture. I wont do that today though, I'm far too tired to THINK. I've taken on an extra morning class an hour before my actual first period so I'm beat. UNTIL TOMORROW, I PROMISE!

Smash Book

So, I've got an obsession. With K&Company's ever-so-clever 'Smash Book'. Basically, It's a journal...except that it's not. It's kinda like a scrapbook...except it's not. It's so much better. It's catch-all for the things in your life that you love the most. Kind of like the website, Pinterest, but in physical form. I ordered my first Smash Book (in Retro Blue) two days ago, and I'm STILL waiting for Amazon to ship it to me...I'm dying in anticipation. So i've taken to prepare for my special delivery as if it were a newborn baby. I've cut out pictures, poems, quotes. Sifted through stickers and scrapbook paper. And i've made a list of things I still need. Paperclips...acid free glue...pens...more stickers. And I need to photocopy some old family pictures. Here's the smash book I ordered...

And here are a couple examples of pages that would be in a smash book...

Anyway, I'm so excited to get it! Hope everyone had a merry Christmas, and Happy New Year!

Book?

Dear friends, Hello again! It's been awhile, hasn't it? What's new in my life...hmm. Well I decided to write a novel. I've been playing around with an idea for awhile. It started with a dream I had and I feel like it would make a very decent book. So i'm going to do what I can...I have commitment issues so we'll see how this goes. I'll keep you updated. Once I get a chapter done maybe i'll post it. But i'm not sure who's reading this so I cant tell you the premise yet....Just in case someone decides to steal it. It's Christmas break guys! Only 4 days until the day we've been waiting for all year long! Yes. I'm running out of things to say. Just thought i'd fill you in on the whole novel thing. :) Bye!

Oh wait....

Wow guys. I feel like I havent written in days. *Insert title of post here*....I havent.
Well, it's good to be back. I finished book I was reading in my last post and...well, it was a book about a man who turns into a giant cockroach. Not to say it wasn't good. Because it was decent, and an entertaining read. I just feel like it was fairly wordy, which normally doesn't bother me unless it prevents the book from progressing.

Any way. It's been such a long week. Honestly. I've been bored to tears. But there's only one more week until Christmas vacation so I think I can hold on till then. :)

I hope you all are well, sorry about how short this post is. I just felt bad for not writing so I thought that something would be better than nothing. Have a great day!

The Metamorphosis

Today, I purchased The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka on my Kindle. And, for the life of me, I'm not sure why. All I know is I read the first sentence of the summary which reads, "Gregor Samsa wakes up and discovers he has been changed into a giant cockroach." and I was sold.
All I know is this.
There was a man.
He had a simple name like Gregor.
And he wakes up as a cocroach.

So I'm going to assume that this book will be the best book I've ever read. I'm going to start tonight or tomorrow, and I'll keep you guys updated as I go. Wish me luck! :)
