One more thing

Oh, and by the way, the pictures of the cute guys are not the guy I saw on the Pier. They were at the beach.

In Portugal

Hey you guys, so I am obviously in Portugal, missing everyone! It is 7:45 here, but 2:45 over there. Weird or what. I would like to say that Europeans eat huge meals. It's insane, I go to a resturant and get a plate that's bigger than my head! Yeesh!

I can't believe the Black Parade Is Dead! is out and I don't own it! I am very depressed about that, and will be purchasing it when I return. So, today we went out for a late lunch, then walked along this pier thingy. It was really windy, but it was neat because there was all these old buildings. I was walking along and saw this insanely cute guy. He looked at me to! EEE! I have some pictures so I'll post them a few.

And...here's me in the mornings...

Hee hee. I had Jet Lag okay? So, I hear Emma is now in the U.S? I wish her a good time! I hope she can get onto the internet too. By the way, I come home in two weeks, I'm not sure what day. I will email everyone when I am home. Until then, I miss you guys!

Luv ya!

FIne Sara, I'm blogging

Sheesh, calm yourself. People will bolg when they feel it's nessesary. So I don't really have much to say. Went to Wonderland and the fireworks show at Weston Lions. Behemoth is the best rollercoaster ever, let me just say that. So I've been working on my story, and finished Chapters 15 and 16, so you must read and send at least a paragraph, otherwise I'll bake you into something.
I think Emma left for the States today, so I wish her happy travels, and if you see Bush, give him a wedgie. Alicia finally e-mailed us from Portugal, aweosme, I hope she reads my chapters (I'm not joking something French). When do people get back? I feel like the friend that got left behind in Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. Tibby right? Well Sara and I can be Tibby.
I finished reading Jane Eyre, it's such a great book, I highly suggest all read it, it's by Charolette Bronte. I mlove the way she ends up with Mr.Rochester. It's so adorable. Well, now I'm reading I am Legend, and it's interesting. And Sara, going into Chapters and not buying anythign is WEIRD! I can't go in becasue my reading list is so big, and I know if I went in, I'd have to buy something, so I am avoiding the stores at all costs.

Since no one else is blogging... I shall!

Well, it seems that no one is blogging! What happened to everyone? Did you all get caught up in the 50% off sales at Bluenotes? C'mon people! You gotta blog! Just because we've been hanging out and stuff doesnt mean we shouldnt blog!

In other news... Yesterday I went shopping at Yorkdale... went into Indigo... and didnt get anything! I don't know what was wrong with me! It was so odd... But I did get alot of other stuff such as glow in the dark socks! Woot! And my MCR DVD... which I'm watching right now.... for the 3rd time...

I'm sorry if I'm boring you all with my kinda "blah" blogging.... but no one else is! Come on people! Blog!!!!!! I check this thing at least once a day hoping for a little interesting news and i've gotten zip!

Well.... I'm done ranting...

Book News

So I felt like blogging about books, because as you all know reading and writing are pretty much my main interests, and with having a whole day at home by myself, I have the time to kick back and surf for books on Amazon while listening to a few book-related podcasts like Mugglecast and The Mundanes.

So I just went to Chapters on Saturday night between my (finally!) graduation dinner at East Side Mario's, and the movie Maxwell Smart. Pretty funny, and pretty good gnocci. So, there I saw many many many very interesting books that I wanted to buy, some of which I'd heard of, some of which I hadn't. In the end, I could only immediately get one, and that was Write Naked, by Peter Gould. Very good book, and especially intriguing for young writers. A little typewriter and pen action, a little romance (it is called Write Naked), and just an all around good story to get you thinking and off the beaten track. Excellent muse.

But of course, that book wasn't necessarily the best of all the options and I won't know until I've read all of them, but it was instead the one I picked by numbering them. So, here's the list of books I will be purchasing shortly on Amazon:

-Blue Bloods by Melissa De La Cruz
-Masquerade: A Blue Bloods Novel by Melissa De La Cruz
-Seven Tears Into The Sea by Terri Farley
-Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr

My list of others that I don't currently have enough money to purchase is:

-The Declaration by Gemma Malley
-A Great And Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray

And obviously many others. By the way, it's a lot cheaper buying books online, and you can often get completely free shipping and it arrives very quickly. Try Amazon.ca.

Sophie, the new Artemis Fowl comes out July 15, and it's called Artemis Fowl The Time Paradox. Yup, more time travel, but this time the real problem is dealing with his evil, younger self.

Cassandra Clare is coming out with a new Shadowhunters series from back in the past (hundreds of years ago) called The Infernal Devices, with the first book, The Clockwork Princess, coming out in 2010. Here's a bit she put up on the characters to give you a basic idea of what it's about. There's more detail on her Google Groups website.

Tessa: Tessa is American. She travels from New York to London when her
brother Nathaniel goes missing. Tessa has a cloud of long curly brown hair,
grey blue eyes, and a heart-shaped face. Tessa's parents are dead. They died
in a carriage accident when she was a child, which she witnessed. She was
raised by her brother and her Aunt Ida, a hypochondriacal old woman, and was
never allowed to see other children. So Tessa is very self-reliant,
reserved, and dreamy. She lives most of her life in books and her head.
Tessa is a warlock, but has no visible nonhuman characteristics.

Jem: Jem was brought up in the Shanghai Institute. His mother was Chinese,
his father British. Jem's parents were killed by demons in Shanghai, and
Jem was tortured over a series of days with demon drugs that left him
permanently addicted. This hasn't made him bitter or vicious the way Will
is, though. He's more resigned and philosophical. The drug he's addicted to
drains the color out of his hair and skin and eyes, so he's very pale, with
silvery hair and eyes — but he is half-Chinese, and that's visible in the
way he looks despite his coloring. Jem wears the kind of clothes Victorian
gentlemen wore in that era, with some touches that connote his heritage,
like a jade pendant around his neck, and clothes with what the Victorian
Brits would think of as "foreign" tailoring.

Will: Will is beautiful and dangerous and tormented and bleak. Much
bleaker than Jace. He lacks the human connections Jace has made over the
course of his life. Will hates everyone but Jem. Will works hard to make
other people hate him and has his reasons for doing so. He thinks the worst
of everyone and assumes everyone will follow their worst impulses at all
times. His bitterness has made him a little wild; he likes to go out
drinking and flirting and sometimes doesn't come back for days. Will's
parents were Shadowhunters who left the Clave and brought Will up as an
ordinary human boy. After they were slaughtered by demons when he was twelve
he joined the Clave in order to revenge himself on demons for their deaths.
He also blames himself for the death of his best friend, which he caused.
Will has black hair, pale skin, blue eyes, and is slender and tall.

This has been a very long blog, so I hope you managed to get through all of it. Look some stuff up!

Packing...Packing...

So I almost done packing for Portugal. This will probably be my last blog until I get back, unless I can get internet somewhere there. I hope you all read chapter 16 and 17, I really need feedback! Emma sent feedback, and Sara gave me some too. The rest of you, send some dammit!

Sara, I am stealing your fading thing again. It's fun, so don't explode like Kalden almost does. Hee hee. Everyone keep blogging while I'm gone, I want to read everything when I get back. If i get back and this blog is the last one, I'm going to be really mad, comprendé? Sheesh, so few people have been blogging lately.

Well, I best go and finish up packing. I will see you all in three weeks. I'll email everybody when I get back, I promise. And if I get internet while I'm there, I'll email you all then too. Love all you guys!!!! I'll miss you all the time!!!!
