the slaphapiness that is so often associated with sleepovers....an M&K production

hola. soooo K and I are hanging out and we were slaphappy (note: i used the past tense seeing as how we had to wait 10 minutes for this stupid Google Chrome to download before being able to type this and thus we are no longer slaphappy. therefore, we have committed the non-illegal crime of false advertising. boo hoo. go cry to someone else.) so we decided to type this blog post. also, we never had a true discussion about book swap which took place yesterday and today (K forgot my book.... :P  I suppose we can forgive her...maybe. someday. i suppose). let me just say now that i do not like having to download stuff just because the internet makes it necessary (tonight alone i have been forced to download not only Google Chrome, but also Flash Player version whatever. not pleasing.) Oh and also i find it sad that i started a new post and went to labels and knew before even typing this post that somewhere in here we will find a way to start talking about The Breakfast Club...it's inevitable. "and that's all i have to say about that."
hello there. it's K here. it's a shock i'm still awake right now...not really...kinda....AHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! Okay, sorry. Like M mentioned we may be a wee bit tired. Hehe, I said wee and that reminded me of Charlie <3 Anywho, while waiting for M to take out her contacts (& waiting for Google Chrome to download :p) she let me read the beginning of a book (I shall not say the name, hehe take that!) and it was pretty interesting. I honestly probably would have fell asleep though if I didn't have the book. Oh The Breakfast Club! I watched that for the first time in IPR (Interpersonal Relations) first semester. I always think about it now....it can become quite annoying at times, but hey I'll live.....hopefully. OH! Yes, you guys should forgive me! (sorry random I know, but I just remembered M typing that). I have a issue with remembering stuff. Seriously it gets bad at times. I have sticky notes on my walls to remind me to do stuff....sad I know, but hey at least my walls are never bare! :D  Wow, this whole thing is really random....that's cool. I have "Made to Love" by tobyMac stuck in my head (if you have not heard the song yet GO YOUTUBE IT NOW!!!!) so yeahs....that's all my brain (hehe I said brains at first. who has more then one brain? no one i hope...that would suck) will fart out for now. Here ya go M :)
it is a sad day when i'm falling asleep reading K's postings. it's not that they aren't interesting. it's that i've had a long week and despite my earlier slaphapiness and random cheer, it is all catching up to me and i have now crashed. also, i don't like jack-in-the-boxes. i realize this is randomness, but they are one of my largest fears. my grandmother has an old one in her basement that my brother used to torture me with when i was little and i think i was scarred for life...don't ask me how that popped into my head. also, another fun fact...M's current SIHS (stuck in head song) is: Little Lion Man by Mumford and Sons. i suppose its better than yesterday when my friend purposely got Young, Wild, and Free stuck in my head despite that fact that she knows i am against everything that song is about and this ridiculous day that has been termed by some as a "holiday." anyway, i would also like to point out that i am the only person i know that would even think of writing an essay for English class on John Bender. yes, ladies and gentlemen, i did. The Breakfast Club was the topic of my paper. i'm just that weird and slightly obsessed. please tell me i'm not the only one that is insanely glad that the people reading the stuff you type can't see your appearance as you're typing it. because if anyone could see me right now they'd see a girl half asleep with her mouth slightly parted and wearing an oversized concert tee and shorts. and now i kick it back to the slightly more coherent K.
I'm not sure about me being more coherent. I might have fell asleep for a few seconds while you were typing. Usually I could stay up later on a Friday....nope that's a lie. At the first possible chance on Fridays I go to sleep because I'm exhausted from the week, but no. I went and had a bunch of fun with M and other friends instead. Not that I'm complaining. It was awesome, it's just that my body wants to shut down on me now. However, I shall fight against the weight that is upon my eyes! Not sure how long we'll last though...I'm thinking not too much longer. OH! M showed me awesome videos on youtube of these two guys, Charlie & Alex. They're both British and very funny :)
UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! Icecream! Haha, whenever I try to say the first word that comes to mind or something completely random I always say icecream now. I'm not sure why...I wasn't even thinking of icecream. I was thinking of the book I was reading, sleep, and more wonderful sleep. Now I'm thinking of the French Toast M's dad is supposed to be making in the morning for us :D I'm excited! Well, not at the moment...but I will be when I wake up in a few hours! So yeah, I'm dead now so here ya go M. Enjoy :) haha

i had a strong urge to make a TBBT reference while K was typing, but instead i'll make it here: "now i'm thinking about the origin of the phrase 'train of thought'. now i'm thinking about trains. *5 minutes later* i'm back to trains again!" ok i'm fulfilled now. i can leave this blog post in peace (oh except to reiterate the fact that you all must go on YouTube and watch Alex Reads Twilight and assorted videos from the user: charlieissocoollike.) so yeah. i'm ending with an awesome quote that close to none of you nonexistant readers will get, but whatever:
"you've just had the almost imponderable joy of watching Charlie is so cool like, which makes you like cool."

Guess What :D

Hello you lovely people!
So this past week I've been on spring break and I've made it a mission to finish at least four books (including the one I'm required to read for English) before we go back. Some of the books I have acquired from our (M and I's) school library before we went on spring break, two I got from Barnes and Nobles today and the rest I got from my grandma's house (long story that I'm not going to get into). Any who I figured I'd give you the details on the books now so the next post can be M's post on her spring break reading OR our bookswap (which in case you did not know is next Friday). LET THE LISTING OF BOOKS BEGIN!



The Fine Art of Truth or Dare by Melissa Jensen- 

  • Read the book in one day
  • I enjoyed this book very much
  • It had romance in it which is always a plus
  • It has a very good lesson to it- Never be afraid to show who you really are. If you want someone to love you for all of you, every little imperfection and perfection, you must first love yourself.
  • There were some parts I skim read, but that's only because it was her paper on this guy called Edward Willing, he was an artist, and I honestly didn't want to read any school papers while I was on spring break
  • This book probably sounds pretty hectic, but all in all it ties together really well and I'm glad I spent $8.99 on it (actually my mother did as part of my birthday present, but let's not get into details).
The Lover's Dictionary by David Levithan-

  • It was terrible
  • I expected this amazing love story or like clippings of what he believes love is like
  • In a way it was, but that way sucked and did make me all happy & giddy like a little school girl
  • I refuse to write anymore on this book because I'm so disappointed in it.
The Night Room by E.M Goldman- 
The book M gave me for the book swap. Well I'm sorry my loves, but you will not have my review on this book until next Friday. Oh don't pout! It won't kill you to wait that long (hopefully).


Little Women by Louisa May Alcott- 
My granny gave me this book when I told her I have not read it yet. She seemed very appalled at the thought. I mean I know it is supposed to be a great piece of literary and I'm sure I would have gotten around to reading it on my own time....possibly. Anyways this book is not on my spring break reading list. This is for during class when I've finished my work and I am incredibly bored.


Fixing Deliliah bySarah Ockler-
I have not read this book yet, but once I have finished my required reading for English this is definitely a book I want to at least start before spring break is over. This looks like a great book filled with family, love, and self-discovery. I'm excited to start it!


And I'm too lazy to write more about the other books (none of which I've read yet) so now I will list them: Stories for a teens Heart by Alice Gray (I'm not exactly thrilled about this one, but I thought it may pleasantly surprise me), Immortal by something Shields (sorry I don't know the first name. It's a hardcover book and the cover is not on it so I have not clue what the author's first name is-or what the book is about. It just sounded interesting), Juliet by Anne Fortier (this one seems extremely intriguing. I have not read it yet, but if it lives up to its description I highly recommend it), and finally Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte.
Jane Eyre is the book I have to read or English. Actually we got to the book we wanted to read (from a list our teacher made) and I originally picked Wuthering Heights, but I was 15 pages in and wanted to hang myself from boredom. Yes, granted 15 pages is not a lot and I do agree I have not really given the book a chance, but I'm crunched for time and I have a feeling it is going to take a lot of force for me to pick it up again. So I switched to Jane Eyre which I'm two pages deep in. All in all I wish I would have gone the easy route and picked a book I have previously read, and loved (and read almost every other remake of the story), also known as Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen. In fact I'm going to see if I can get the book before Tuesday to re-read. I'm a quick reader so it won't take me long. Plus, I'm very good at remembering major details that happens in books (I just want to read it for the smaller ones I may have forgotten). If I can't get Pride & Prejudice I'll probably be pulling an all nighter reading Jane Eyre. Wish me luck (please, I seriously need it).
Oh I guess I should probably bring into play the title of this post.Guess what book I finally got!!! Out of Sight, Out of Time by Ally Carter!!! I'm so pumped to finally have it. Granted I'm not allowed to read it until all my homework (including the required reading) is finished, but hey at least it gives me something to look forward to.
Okay it's about time to wrap up this post because I'm extremely tired and have a long day ahead of me tomorrow :p
For those on spring break: enjoy it while it last, for those of you who are not: hang in there! You don't have much longer, For all: HAPPY READING! :)
