I've Read More Books and other stuff...

So, it's been a couple weeks since I've talked about what I've read, and here I am... about to talk about the one interesting book I've read since, and an interesting "activity book."I tried very hard to read The Hobbit... I gave up, even though I was half way. For some reason, it was a bore... I dont' get why though... I usually like books of that genre... action/adventure...
After giving up on that, I read A Northern Light, (again,) by Jennifer Donnelly. That book was really good, but not as good as Revolution. It was sort of based on a real life crime, which made the story slightly more interesting.. though I feel like I was more interested in what really happened to the main charater and her love life more than the victim's story...
While I was finishing that, I was watching the paint fall.. and dry. Yes, I was working on a book I got months ago, near the end of October, called Mess, by Keri Smith. You get to do really interesting and bizzare things in that book.. but you can find out for yourself, if you really really wanna know. There really are some strange activities to do in that book...
And today, I started reading The Fellowship of the Ring... which I am delaying reading as I type because Frodo is about to leave on his journey...I'm not really that interested yet... this better be a good book... (grumble grumble...)

It is from my observation that I feel like only Catholic people use this blogger thingy. It's not that I'm against Catholics.. because I am one.. I'm just saying that I haven't found any one "exciting" that I wanna "follow" on this thing... then again, I haven't been on here for weeks and I really don't feel like searching for people to read. Part of me wishes that my blog will turn out like that movie Julie and Julia, where that lady (Julie) gets to write a book cuz of her blog.... or however that lady got famous... but I liked that movie, and should remember how it went. OOOOOOPS...

And only 10 mins until Covert Affairs.......
Someone tell me if I'm not citing those book titles right... or those movies or tv shows... MLA tells me italics... soooo.. that's what I'm doin....

Five Years Have Gone By

A little summary of what's happened The happenings Graduated college with my degree in 2015. It seems to be pretty useless because I haven't even really used it for anything in my field. It's usually just,  OH, YOU HAVE A DEGREE! You don't have to take this test!" "Oh, you were a Psyc major? Do you wanna be a therapist? DO YOU ANALYZE PEOPLE?! Can you tell what I'm thinking right now? Can you save my family?!? Do you know why these people act this way?!" No, I don't know why they act that way. I don't even know why I act the way I do... and I'm not going to pay a thousands just to go back and hate it.. so no thanks. College also brought out some health issues, most notably migraines and bloody noses. MSG is an evil that's everywhere. Coaching Coaching high school was a blast compared to working with the elementary school kids. I didn't have to do keep high schoolers entertained for 5 hours. And the runners wanted to BE THE

9 More thoughts plus side thoughts

Okay, so it's been about 11 weeks since I've been on here and typed up my opinions, and I'm sure you guys liked that break. But now that the quarter's over, there's a TON of stuff that I have to comment on (or so I thought). I was actually thinking of doing a compare and contrast of my Sophomore years...but that's a little too personal for this bloggy thingy, so I guess I won't do that...list form sounds good. Lists are awesome. I don't really know why I like lists so much, but I put everything into lists or bullet points... weird, right?! These winter holidays. I also complained about this last year too, I know that for a fact, but seriously: These large corporations are squeezing the "joy" out of the holidays by putting up ad after ad after ad after ad....not after Thanksgiving, but weeks before. They have also made "Black Friday" start literally right after everyone's Thanksgiving dinner...good thing my family isn't in

Mourning is a strange thing

I keep on thinking to myself: You're sure she's not just sleeping? You're sure she's not just in the hospital? Are you sure? Are you sure you're sure? But you saw what you saw and that was that coffin going into the ground with her body in it and everyone threw roses and carnations into the grave five feet under ground... It really hasn't sunk in, has it? I'm going on with my life, and I think about you more than I have in the past couple years- because I took you for granted. I always thought you would live to see all your grandchildren get into their 30s. I always thought you'd be there to watch me get married; to fix my wedding gown; to watch ME...us... live our lives. To be there to babysit your great-grand-kids like you babysat your grandkids...me. My brother. My cousins. I can't help but think about all the things you did for me; like the things I said in the last entry. Teaching me little bits of Tagalog. Helping me with my homework...cooking
