So today, the world shifted slightly. I have been chugging away at this book called The Book Thief , by Markus Zusak, over the last couple weeks. I finished it tonight. It was very, very good. So good, that for the last, oh, I don't know, 50 PAGES of the book, I was crying heavily onto my t-shirt. I was a wreck, really. I was so teary , snotty , and gaspy that I scared the crap out of my mother and sisters. My mom was so worried that she asked to see the book when I was finished. My older sister couldn't believe that I was actually crying over a book . I'm completely serious--and I don't regret blubbering over it. I feel as if it was a life-altering story. It took me ten minutes or so to compose myself. I rise in support of this book. I recommend it for you. I just don't recommend it for young children. They might not understand. See, I know that now I should probably prove that I read the book by providing a small summary in my own words or something of the sor...

So, I just saw video footage of M.I.A. (my favorite rapper, yeah) at this year's Grammys...and holy crap. Very, very pregnant. Nine months. But you have to hand it to her, she freakin' kicked ass. She's still breaking into an industry that favors guys. So she kind of shot it all to hell by coming out and rapping with the rest of them... about to pop out a child. I mean, I kind of really... admire her for that. Huzzah to her. Wow, did I really just say "huzzah"? Holy god, I'm a nerd. So today I stayed home from school because I was sick. I still am feeling a bit under the weather, but mostly because my muscles are still ACHING. Never stop working out after a pretty intense field hockey season...I felt as if I haven't used my muscles in YEARS. I can't even sit down without wincing...and I've kind of developed this sort of WADDLE like pregnant women (I dunno what's with the pregnancy references today, honestly!). All in all, I look like I got the...

Hey y'all...yeaaaaaahhh! I'm just hanging out in my bed right now, yes, right now, at 1:15 in the AM, since this is the absolute latest I can stay up on Saturday nights nowadays without completely losing my mind monday morning at school! Just watching some youtube videos, reading, shopping, generally being overall unproductive. Scratching my leg (which needs shaving), itching my head (which needs washing), and looking around my room in utter disbelief that I've actually been living here for the past couple days. (If you haven't already figured it out, it needs some SERIOUS cleaning.) I don't really want to sleep. I'm actually wishing that I had copious amounts of energy (or drugs*) so that I can do all the things that I aspire to, when I'm just sitting here in front of my little buddy, Kaz. Yeah, I named my laptop. If you were wondering what Kaz is supposed to stand for, it's an acronym for Kick Ass Zombie. As in this laptop rocks. deep breath, people. *...
