Change of Pace

EVERYONE SHOULD GO READ PAPER TOWNS BY JOHN GREEN!

I think before I mentioned Brotherhood 2.0, a project on Youtube where brothers John and Hank Green posted a video for each other everyday for a whole year.

Well John Green just published his third novel, Paper Towns, and I'm now here to advise everyone to go get a copy and read it.

It is seriously the best book I've read since Harry Potter. How do I know? Because I couldn't put Harry Potter down, likewise, I couldn't put Paper Towns down. I read it in three days. Which actually would have been one if it wasn't for all the packing, working, and spending time with friends I had to do.

I'm actually in a bind right now because I got his other too books, but packed them away cause I thought it would take me a lot longer to read Paper Towns. Seriously... I'm a very slow reader, I'm still trying to finish One Door Away From Heaven by Dean Knootz, and I've been reading that since Junior year of High School, and it took me months to finish that Death Note novel!

I already mentioned to Windy-sama that she had to read it, and she asked me what it was about. It's kinda hard to explain really, not without giving it away. So I'll just tell you all whats written on the back of the book... or inside book cover, rather...

Quentin Jacobson has spent a lifetime loving the magnificent adventurous Margo Roth Speigelman from a far. So when she cracks open a window and climbs back into his life - dressed like a ninja and summening him for an ingenious campaign of revenge - he follows.

After their all-nighter ends, and a new day breaks, Q arrives at school to find that Margo, always an enigma, has now become a mystery. But Q soon learns that there are clues - and they're for him. Urged down a disconnected path, the closer he gets, the less Q see the girl he thought he knew.

It's really an excellent story.

Though it made me a bit sad cause Q and Margo reminded me a lot of John and me. Only I wish I was as cool as Margo, and I wish John loved me as much as Q loved Margo.

But either way. It's a must read.

Also, Paper Towns is debuting on the New York Times Best Seller list at #5, and it's being made into a movie... and the people that did the AMAZING AWESOME INCRIDABLE Juno, are going to be making the movie for Paper Towns.

You can't get much cooler then that.

DFTBA!

---------------------------------

I had to take a break from homework. *le sigh* I forgot my books in Carol's car yesterday so now I have double to work tonight too catch up on chapter notes for tomorrow.

I'm not used to this "I actually have to do work outside of school"ness. And it wouldn't be so bad but we get to use notes on our tests, so I might as well write down the info so I can have it. But it sucks so much. @.@;;;

I wish Mr. Barton would let us use our book for tests like Mrs. Lawson, then I wouldn't have to do so much work. Oh well, this is actually making me feel like I'm in college... finally, it's only been what? A YEAR.

I'll live though, and maybe the tests won't be that hard and I won't have to take as many notes in the future.

Well I've still got a lot of work to do, I'm off!

I should just be happy with what I have. As little as it is, it's still better then nothing.

No, I just can't be happy so I have to open my big mouth.

Ha, it probably would be better if there was nothing though, maybe it would finally crush this false hope I still have of ever being that again.

Probably thinking that everything will be ok in a few days, I'll forget about it.

I never forget.

But I can act... I'll just go back to playing my role again, until I get another chance to fuck it up.

So, I am really enjoying our new classes. They're classes I would necessary like, but after having basically the SAME class for the past year, it's pleasent to have a change, to actually sit through discussion and lectures instead of sitting in front of the computer making YET ANOTHER stupid business identy. *headdesk*

Computer Concepts so far is the most boring of the classes, sitting in the media room watching the crappy Power Point and listening to 112 year old Lupin/Snape mumble on about computers that are older then the Millennium Items... blargh. Then he keeps asking if we remember using any of this stuff... yeah, right. I remember the first floppy disks, from Kindergarten!

But I have to say the picture he had of the FIRST apple computer, was very amusing. Basiclly a wooden keyboard with no monitor and a plank sticking out of it with "APPLE" burned into it.

We have to read chapter one by, some time... I'm rather confused on what really I'm supposed to be reading because there is NO chapters in the book, there's a section one, which is spilt up into A and B... so do I read the whole section, or just A? Or what?

All I know is that when I flipped through it and saw a title saying "How to browse the internet" I wanted to stab myself in the eye... I don't need to read this, I've been living on the computer for like twenty years.

Econ is the best, which is odd, but the teacher is so cool. I sat in the front row today and for once I actually was part of the disscusion. Not that I really helped since I said that we could solve the problem of there not being enough islands for everyone by decreasing the surplus population. We also discussed rather we should be able to sell babies and organs, which I think should totally be legal, selling organs would save lives, and babies too. But what do I know, I want to kill everyone so I can have my own privet island, castle, and golden swan bed.

Soc. and Business Law are fun too, cause I sit int he back with Carol and Carrie and we make editoral comments about everything the teacher says.

I think it's going to be an awesome term.
