Sleepy as heck...
Forgot to do my blog yesterday (BIG SHOCKER! I think I managed to do one blog on time...)
Today I’m going to blog about the BOOK Marley and Me.I never saw the movie, but I read the book before it came out.So cute! I have a yellow lab so this book was easy to relate to.Labs are crazy...Crazy and dumb.
It’s in their genes.
My dog (Izzy) once ate my sister’s gameboy.
Yes, a gameboy.
Not very nutritious ... Mmm, Nintendo!
I honestly have no problem believing the fact that Marley was as insane as the author made him out to be.
Eating poop? BELIEVABLE!
Izzy use to get poop from the toilet or from the cat’s litter boxes...It was gross having to pull that from her mouth! Otherwise she’d poop out poop and I dunno why that’s bad...Maybe poop is hard to digest?
I also loved this book because it was real.
I think that made the story that much better, knowing that something as simple as a pet could change your life so drastically.
A lot of people don’t understand that animals have personalities to. Take my cat for example...
He’s evil and likes to inflict pain on people...Especially other guys. He likes to rule over woman.Ironically his name is Twit.
My other cat is named Gem (short for Gemini) And Gem fits her perfectly. She’s the sweetest cat you’ll ever meet. Very timid but adorable!
Izzy is dumb but lovable. Serious. The dog has run into walls only to wag her tail and not even notice! It’s so cute!
It was easy to connect with the author because I also hold my animals dear to my heart and knowing all the trouble my pets cause...Marley’s craziness was even funnier.

Figures
So like I said...Blog days are Thursdays...I can't remember to do them on Wednesday for some reason!
Anyways, I'll talk about the book The Society of S.
I liked this book, but wouldn't buy it for one major reason.
Nothing really happens.
I mean, things happen obviously but it's just not exciting.
The book is very interesting, just not event wise. Event wise it's dull and just like "Mhmm. Keep on trucking."
I know this description makes no sense...The characters aren't that interesting either.
So thinking about it this book sounds really crappy.
It's not though!
I think it's just a nice relaxing read. Either that or you keep expecting something big to happen so you're super excited throughout the book.
Then nothing happens and you're like "THE CLIMAX IS COMING! This is gonna be great!"
Then you realize you just finished it and you feel lost and confused inside.
I do hope the author makes a sequal though.
Otherwise the book would be very incomplete. Mainly because I'm still looking for the climax.
Maybe it got lost on it's way to the publisher?
Okay, bad joke, I know!
The main character could get a little annoying at times though. Mainly because she had no personality really...
I can't figured out why I liked this book...
It wasn't badly written or anything. Just insanely dull!
At least with poorly written books you can laugh and make fun of them.
This book wasn't badly written...Just --------------- the entire time.
You know all the book really needed was to have monotone reader reading it outloud.

SLEEPY
Okay, so today I’m going to talk about The Weight of All Things.
I love this book.
It’s INTERESTING! AH!
I mean, school books are normally okay at best.
Normally they just fail.Examples: Lord of the Flies, Across Five Aprils, Things Fall Apart
It’s really scary.
The book is actually well written and makes sense. The worse thing is that the descriptions get rambley.But you can just skim those parts…-couuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh-
I almost wish the book was in first person just because then we’d get to see Nicolas’ thoughts.
Still, it’s good because the author doesn’t try and sugar coat anything.
People die and it’s depressing.I mean there’s no other way to say it and she doesn’t try and hide the deaths, instead she brings them right out into the open and makes us confront them and see the main characters feelings and how he deals with it.
Or denies it in the case with his mother.
I think the denial also makes him seem more real as a character because it brings forward his naive child like thoughts without making him seem immature.
Hope I reached the word minium...

Okay so I keep forgetting to do these on time...Crap.Oh well. It’s only a day late?...ANYWAYS! The book I’m reading is called ‘Kitty Kitty’I love this book. It makes me laugh out loud! Which is pretty awkward considering reading time is silent and I’m giggling to myself.It could be worse though. The first book was called ‘Bad Kitty’ and that could be taken dirtily...
Then again Kitty Kitty could be pretty dirty too...MOVING ON!This book is so funny because Jas (the main character) is insanely strange and attracts weirdness to her.
Her friends and family are also crazy which just makes it even better! And it’s nice to have a book where the main girl is super strange and doesn’t mind. In most teen books being different upsets the girl and blah blah either that or she embraces it so much it’s just unbelievable.
That’s the great thing about Jas she knows she’s weird and wishes some things about her were different but over all she embraces her awkwardness and works with it.
I love the book to because it’s from Jas’ point of view so we get to read all her funny thoughts.
Boy does this sound stupid in writing. Oh well.
It’s a great series. And I can’t wait for the fourth book to come out...Even though I haven’t finished the third. AH! NEED MORE WORDS!
Back to the book. Jas calls her dad ‘Dadzilla’ it’s very funny in context. Not so much out of context.
Really, just read the book if you want to laugh a lot. HA 264 WORDS!

Sticks of Fiddle
I forgot to blog…Oops.
Okay so I’m going to talk about a book called Guyaholic.
Doesn’t it sound promising already?
Hehe.
This was an okay book, the main girl wasn’t that interesting and you really didn’t care about her.
She cheated on her the boy who loved her and then he left and so did she and it was sad I guess…It was difficult to really care because of a few reasons.
One: You didn’t see a lot of their relationship. The author was pretty much “We dated for 3 months”
ZOMGNESS! The deepness! The total undying love! It radiates from the pages!
I mean sure, she gave examples but you never saw how the main character changed. In fact she seemed pretty much the same in all the examples even though she wasn’t suppose to be…
Her friends said she was happier but I don’t know because I don’t know what she acted like before or during her relationship.
I just know in the short examples she was the same whiney, ungrateful, girl as she managed to be throughout the entire book.
Reason two: You didn’t know why Sam was special or why you should even care about the main girl.
Sam was pretty much ---------- The entire book. There was the occasional ---------^-^^^-- but you only saw that once.
Main girl was just annoying and predictable.
Reason Three: The main girl didn't really promise him anything.
She kept saying “We aren’t dating.” And blah blah blah. But some how even though she told them that they weren’t boyfriend girlfriend they still were.
It confused the crap outta me.
I mean I get that they did everything like a boyfriend and girlfriend but if someone says “We aren’t dating” then you should take them serious and move on or accept it. And if the person isn’t mature enough to move on then you’re setting yourself up for lots of heartbreak.
Harsh and sad but also true.

I’m reading My Most Excellent Year by Steve Kluger.
Freaking amazing.
I love this book and its going to be in my favorites and soon I shall buy it and hoard it…Yes.IT’S SO ADORABLE THOUGH! And funny!
I don’t know what else to say other then that Augie is going to go live in my closet along with the old crazy grandma from Willy Wonka. Who is also adorable.
NOT THE POINT!
This book is almost as good as putting whip cream on cool whip then adding some jello-Which is delicious.
You just pick it up and feel happy!
I originally got this book because my friend made me, and I’m so glad that I did.
Man it’s a lot harder to blog about books I can’t make fun of.
I think I need to check if this author’s written any other books, because he’s that awesome. And everyone should read this book because it’s just that amazing.Think…I shall talk about…OH!
HOW ADORABLE TC and AUGIE ARE! …I don’t care that I sound like a squealing fan girl.
They call themselves brothers even though Augie is Asian and TC is white, and they live like brothers to. They call their parents ‘Mom, Dad, and Pop’ TC’s mom died so she doesn’t get a fun name…But still.
Now to move onto something irrelevant. Augie is cute but what makes him cuter is the fact he’s gay. I can’t explain it but his gayness makes him just that much better. I think it’s because he always makes it funny. Like when the guy he liked held his hand he nearly had a heart attack.
Him dying isn’t funny, but how it was written made me cry from joy xD

ZOMGOODNESS
I'm actually using my blog for something useful!
AHHHH!!!!

INTRO
-GAHQUOTETHATISADORABLE-It’s not uncommon for someone to die for a cause, even in today’s times reforms are still happening and are still being supported by many people like Archbishop Oscar Romero. Oscar Romero was not only a martyr for his religion, but a martyr for his people. Like his people, Romero lived a difficult life all during his childhood, reforms, and up until his death. Not all of Romero’s childhood was spent getting him ready to be the archbishop; in fact it wasn’t until his teenage years that he began studying in theology.
CONCLUSION
Even after his death Romero made a difference in the people’s lives as a constant inspiration and reminder of peace.
Today he is known as ‘The Voice of the People’(cite website) because that is truly what he was. He defended the peasants while the government tried to oppress them, he made it clear that such abuse was not to be tolerated. Romero felt not only the pain of his people but his own as well. The hardships he suffered through in his childhood, reforms, and through death are what make him memorable. He would not be intimidated by those who hated him; instead he met them with criticism and love. His peaceful response to the violence around him is what made him such a memorable leader of the people surrounded by violence.
