Hey ya’ll… yeah, all one person who might be still checking this page. I’ve decided to change this up a bit a try a new format with more organization. So here’s how it’ll work. Half notepad for me, half blog for you, all totally fun. Plus, I’ll try to add in something new every day to keep this fresh and fun. Like, on Saturday, cat pictures (Hello Caturday!), or on Monday a book review. Something fun like that. I want to make this blog more appealing for you readers and more challenging and creative for me. I mean, I already have a journal that I occasionally use. So nuts to that format here. So let’s see what we can do!

Under the more button, find personal bloggage, photos of the day, and my review for the novel “Twilight”.


To do list:

-Go to bank

-Go to library, return books, get more.

-Record shows for this week, as well as next week.

Noteworthy News!

So for those who don’t know, I am trying to get my net presence back. I went AWOL there for a few months due to A) Nanowrimo, B) reasons of personal insanity, and C) School and LSAT work. Well, Nanowrimo was the best year yet for me, as I not only finished my novel’s word count, I FINISHED the actual novel! I KNOW! I’ve never done that before. So now I can actually say, yes. I wrote a novel. It’s half second-drafted by me now, but I’ll be putting excerpts up here later on. Maybe that can be a Friday feature or something…

The LSAT went as well as could be. God, the logic games! The brain ache!

Possibly missed dates for this week’s new format include: Wednesday, Thursday. I have to see a root canal specialist on Wednesday, and they will be operating or whatever else it is that they do. I’m not sure how severe it will be, as we don’t know the reasons for my complications yet. We’ll just have to wait and see.

Random Photos of the Day!:

So we had another little snow storm last night. This is a view from my front door, of the side of our yard. So pretty! Note: Just called Jack to learn he had the day off from school today. PEOPLE THAT IS NOT ENOUGH SNOW TO CANCEL SCHOOL! Why wasn't the school board made of wusses when I went to school...

Hannalore, Felix, and Cornelia.

Felix, Cornelia, Snowman, and Hannalore. Also in the mood of Christmas, there was a Contest for the best Christmas/winter photo involving Puki dolls. I decided to send this photo in.

So, today is Monday. What will Monday’s Feature be… You know, let’s stick with the book review thing. If only because I read THIS:

Dear. Sweet. God.

Dear. Sweet. God.

Now, I consider it a point of pride that I always finish a book. Until now, there has only been one book to trump me. But this… this was just… LORD.

If you haven’t heard of Twilight, congrats! Stay under that rock! I know I wish I did. The only reason I took this from the library is that I work with several high schoolers who LOVE Twilight. I have only followed Twilight through fabulous sites like Fandom Wank, Fandom Lounge, and the fabulously hilarious Cleolinda. This means that while I know all the important information and plot points, I don’t know much of the actual WRITING. So, to give my co-worker Alex his due, I decided that I should at least attempt to read one of the four books before I complained about them.

Good intentions get you nowhere, people. NOWHERE!

I flung this book across the store four times. I stomped on it twice. When I reached the Vampire Baseball scene some 380 pages in, I had to throw up my hands in defeat. This book is awful. Seriously, awful. The only good thing about it? It gives me hope that someday, my books will be published. Because if this DRECK can be sold at bookstores, I can’t be worse.

I was expecting the love between Bella, human girl, and Edward, tortured vampire boy, to annoy me the most. However, I was wrong. What actually drove me insane was Bella herself. People, this girl is awful. She is whiny, closed-minded, and exhibits the most obnoxious behaviour any female character can do. I’m talking about the age old trick of “I’m so plain and ugly, but really I’m GORGEOUS, I just can’t see it!” Why yes, Bella! You’re thick brown hair is disgusting, and your porcelain skin? God. Enjoy being a spinster! Oh, and you’re also really skinny? Well, you better pick out those cat names now, because it’s all over for you.

Seriously though, this girl is the new kid and HALF the male population of the school falls MADLY in love with her. When the school dance shows up, she receives THREE invites in the span of ONE day and THREE pages! But of course, since none of them have the brooding stare of Edward the HAWTIE, she does not care.

Moving on the Edward, don’t fret. He’s not as bad as she is, but he makes very almost as much sense. You see, Edward can read minds, EXCEPT FOR BELLA OMG GUYZ WHAT COULD THAT MEAN SOULMATES?! and he can also smell everyone’s blood. And Bella? Well, her blood smells so delicious to Edward, it’s all he can do not to rip open her veins right there in Bio and drain her for all the world to see. He tells her repeatedly in the beginning of the book that he can never be around her, that it’s for the best if they never become friends. Which is all fine and dandy, except he NEVER FOLLOWS HIS OWN ADVICE. Seriously, he’s there every time she turns around. Bella about to be hit by a car? Saved by Edward. Bella about to faint in class like the dainty daisy she is? Carried by Edward to the nurse. Bella is chased downtown by gang members and trapped in a dead end alley? Edward to the rescue in his Volvo! No, Really! Also, did I mention he sneaks into her room every night to watch her sleep? Stick a fork in me, my friends.

By the time we meet all of Edward’s adoptive family, his super hot undead doctor dad, and meet the local werewolf committee, my eyes were glazed over like a freshly made doughnut. The baseball was too much, and I gave up. Still, at least I tried. Points for effort, right?
