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!

Kick some serious ass, and don't forget to take names

Holy shiza. I can't believe we did that. I won't keep you in suspense...but today...(Dramatic pause)...I quit fastpitch softball. I'll start at the beginning. Yesterday we had our first official slowpitch game (aka for my father's team). I went, because honestly--how can you not go to your own father's game? Not to mention, the fastpitch game was a make-up that we didn't know about until last week. So we--my older sister Devyn, a friend of mine named Ashley--went to our slowpitch game. After all, my dad needed us and we would've had to forfeit if we didn't have enough girls to play. So we sort of ditched the fastpitch game. But it was NBD, seriously. Ashley NEVER plays in a fastpitch game. She sits the bench EVERY game, yet shows up for every practice, all the time. So naturally she's going to go to the game where she gets a chance to play, and not to mention she's good at it. My sister, on the other hand, is a senior. She's paid her dues. S...

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.....

Go on and lose it

"Everybody makes mistakes/Everybody has those days..." -Hannah Montana Yeah Miss Montana? Well, I doubt you've had the day I've had. Enter: Wake up at 6:00 in the morning on a Saturday. Get in the shower, dress, and eat breakfast. Wonder why I'm up so early? I have a Youth and Government shindig. I get ready to go, and then wake my dad up at 7:30 and tell him we should go soon. I have to be there by 9 am, and it's about a half-hour away. That translates to an hour or so with me driving (still on my permit, so Dad has to come) and the fact that we don't exactly know where the Anita Tuvin Schlecter building is. I drove fine on the way there, no one died. =) We get there, and we were kind of lost--but that wasn't that big of deal. We were still early and we found the place all right. I also found my friend from Y&G who had told me what was going on today. We stood outside the ATS building...and it was locked. There wasn't a soul in sight. Me: ...
