I want them, I need them

I need books.

Okay, so that's a lie. I really don't need books at all. I have plenty, but I would like some that I haven't read. Okay, so that's a lie as well. I have two entire shelves of books that I haven't read yet. They're just...crappy books. Yes, I said it. I apologize to the authors that wrote them, but they are a miserable waste of time. Perhaps that's why they were only 50¢ at the Sharp Shopper. Yeah, remember these? I bet they're good books. I just don't care enough to read them. (Although I did read About the Author, and it was very good.)

No, I've had my eye on a certain book for a little while now. Except I haven't had the resources (AKA money and a ride) to get it. The book is Eclipse, by Stephenie Meyer. It's the third book in the Twilight series, and it just came out two days ago. Therefore, it is a hardcover, and more expensive. For the longest time, I saw the first book of the series chilling on shelves at Borders, and even at Wal-mart. I never bought it at first, because it was huge, and second because I saw it was about vampires. I was skeptical that it would be any good. But I fell it love with it, and now I NEED Eclipse. A twenty-dollar bill has been burning a whole in my wallet as I wait to spend it on this one. I'm going to my concert this weekend, and an amusement park--I sure as hell hope that I get my book before then, so I don't have to keep myself from spending my money.

For now, I'll spend my time reading This Lullaby by Sarah Dessen for the 50th time. Really, I've read this book a million times.

Alexa, it's called a LIBRARY. Surely, they have one near you! No money involved, loads of books, FREE! And it is possible to get them on opening day, may I cite Harry Potter 7 as a reference?

Try RUNNING WITH SCISSORS by Augusten Borroughs and Catcher in the Rye by Holden Caulfield. If you've read Catcher... then read it again.

Got New Moon yesterday and finished last night. Only six people in front of me for Eclipse, I can't wait! PLUS... there are two more books in the future!

The House of the Flying Hats

Okay. Sorry about that, everyone. I often go through phases where I want to change anything and everything, and I don't always think it through beforehand. It's like, I HAVE TO CHANGE THIS NOW!--but I never consider what I actually want something to look like until everything's completely different. So I didn't have any other ideas. And besides, could I ever really stop being the Queen? Honestly? That's a no. Today's post is about my Dad. He's the father of four daughters, and faithfully married for 21 years. We have a girl dog as well. So my Dad is constantly surrounded by women. Everywhere. Estrogen abounds! I'm probably the closest thing he has to a son. I'm a bit of a tomboy when I want to be, and I know how to really get in his head and make him angry. We're sort of...buddies. Getting to the point...one thing's for sure, my Dad loves his hats. He wears them all the time. He's got a chronic case of hat head. To be specific, they...

A Lesson That Needed Re-Learned

Okay. So The Queen learned a very valuable lesson yesterday. You DON'T TALK TO STRANGERS. Obviously, everyone learns this lesson from the age of 5, when your father asks you, "What do you do if some strange man asks you to help him find his lost puppy?" And then, you so enthusiastically respond, "You kick him in his privates and say NOOOOOOOOOO!!" Well, at least that's how I learned. And so when a young woman (couldn't be any older than my older sister) came to my door yesterday and asked questions about when my mother would be home, questions about the other kids in the neighborhood...I did the completely WRONG thing to do. I answered her questions and thought nothing of it. I didn't think her out-of-state license plates were all that threatening. I didn't think that her black (with polka dots) galoshes (similar to these ) were all that threatening. I figured she was just another one of those annoying Youth For Christ advocates asking if I w...

Just another Monday

I took some pictures today, figuring I knew that I wouldn't feel up to posting something gigantic. And I'm not. We had another softball game this afternoon, and even though I played for about...3½ minutes, I'm still wiped from having to spend the entire game on my feet (and add that up to my day and school, and it's cause for exhaustion). My 3½ minutes in the spotlight was when my coach decided that we were losing bad enough (We lost 17-10 or something like that) that it wouldn't do any harm to put the Junior Varsity Princess (aka moi, if you're that thick) into the game. The batter's box, to be precise. I guess I wasn't good enough to defend the field. :( Whatever. So, I must've been a lot more nervous than I thought I was, because everyone kept telling me to relax. I didn't feel nervous, but when I struck out (I went down swingin', ya bastards!) and returned to the dugout, I realized that my hands were shaking. Well, here are the pictures.....
