Books, Geneaology, ETC

I usually like to comment on books when I've read three, but I feel like I need to make a "post" now... just 'cause! So, I've read two books. The one I finished yesterday was, Richmond Tales , by Summer Brenner, and the one I finished the day before that was called, The Thirteenth Tale , by Dianne Setterfield. The Thirteeth Tale was fairly interesting. My Gramma said it was hard to get into, but I remember thinking while reading a line (that I don't remember right now, and am too lazy to go back to my Gramma's and find the book and...and even to want to go through the book and remember what caught me when I was reading the first couple chapters of this book), that I liked this book. Though the book is about a girl writing down a famous author's life story, it becomes more than that. The girl becomes the story, in a way-- she dreams what she's writing about at some point. I was so sure that I knew who the author was (there were twins involved in t...

Finally Done with Two Towers and Pride and Prejudice

Okay, so, I've been complaining about reading The Two Towers . The ending left more to be desired, but of course, that's what Return of the King is for. But, yes, J.R.R. Tolkien's style is very detailed-- so detailed I know that I won't be able to go on with reading Return of the King . I couldn't take reading about Sam, Frodo, and Gollum walking around Mordor...or wherever they were. I just couldn't. I have to admit that I didn't really read the last couple pages because I already knew what was going to happen. (THANK YOU FAMILY FOR MAKING ME WATCH THE MOVIE...and THANK YOU HOLLYWOOD FOR KILLING MY BOOK READING EXPERIENCE!! Much appreciated. -____-). So yeah, I saw the movie. A much less arduous way to learn the tales of J.R.R. Tolkien. A more enjoyable way too. I said I read Pride and Prejudice , by Jane Austen. I did, I did. I'm not really sure what to make of it, really... I mean, it was easier to read than Lord of the Rings, but the Old English m...

These aren't Happy Poems...

When I feel down/sorry for myself/ ignored/ pissed at myself/etc, I write. Not much of what I've written is on here.. actually, none of the poetry I've written is on here. But, because I feel like these poems are really what I was feeling, and feel right now, I'm going to type them out. Because right now, I feel absolutely pathetic. -__- By the way, only one other person has seen/heard these... and now the world will... if the world even happens to come across this.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ So I walk away I don't feel like saying anything It will go away... It will go away... In remembrance, I think of you In remembrance, I mourn the past The regret... The regret... What happened? Oh, no, it's nothing It's nothing to worry about Walk it out Walk away from everything and find the hidden re-start button Re-do the wrongs done Then make the same mistakes unknowingly Without realizing the wrongs done Just walk away only walking...

OK, Movie people, YOU WIN!! -___-

Movie people! You have killed my interest in reading about the perriless journey of Sam and Frodo and Aragorn and Gandalf... I AM NOT INTERESTED IN THE TWO TOWERS  ANY MORE. I've already seen all the movies for Lord of the Rings ...I was forced to see all those movies... so now, everything is spoiled, and I cannot take J.R.R. Tolkien's very detailed writing any more... I finally got to the part where Sam, Frodo and Gollum/ Smeagol get to the marshes... and I can't take it any more. I think I was more interested in the "more exciting part" of the story with Gandalf and Pippin going off to Miras Tirith... (the rest of that is in Return of the King , I assume... -__-) BUT... I feel like I want to skip around more than actually read the whole thing the way it was written, just because I had to skip some parts in the movie... but how the cheesepuffs will I know which parts I missed if I don't read the whole daum book?! -__- Why would I want to read about three huma...

HS"Friends?" and Two Towers...sorta....

ieoaufkdnsvmcxnmvncmnvmcnmvdskjfkdjfkdjieuwrijsdlkfjksdjf...... -__- Since the senior retreat, I've come to realize that when I said "sorry" to certain people, I apparently didn't mean it, because they didn't mean it when they said, "It's ok." Look what happened this summer... I mean really ... -___- Why did they even say it if they were planning to just do what they've done to me? They shouldn't have even come back...aeihvcnvmcxzhfaeiu...whateverrrr... After they left, (and came back) they made it seem like everything was ok again. Like I was part of thier group again. AAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA I WAS! And now I am disowned...again. Yeah, I'm complaning... but isn't that what this thing is for in the first place? No one'll see this, soooooooooooooooo... yeah. I'm sure I'll add more to this someday... but not today cuz I can't think of anything else to rant about. One of the reasons I started commenting on things is because...

Finally Finished The Fellowship....

The Fellowship of the Ring , J.R.R. Tolkien- The book about a journey was certainly a journey to read. They went through an epic and time consuming journey, so did I. They had trials and battles.. SO. DID. I. The battle to stay awake while reading this was a hard one to beat, but I finally finished The Fellowship ... in 3 weeks, the longest time it has taken me this whole summer to read a book. It was boring in some parts (meaning detailed...very detailed...etc.) and those are the parts that put me to sleep, even though I was ready to read and even through the most exciting parts, I found myself fighting to stay awake. Now that I have FINALLY finished this, I feel like I should read The Two Towers ... because I'm sucked into the whole series and want to know how it ends (the movies would butcher the whole experience for me. THEY ADDED THAT STUPID ELF CHICK!! How stupid...). These books cannot stand alone and need each other for the complete story...that is the only reason I'm g...

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...
