random musings

You know that scene in A Cinderella Story where they show the entire neighborhood's grass to be dead and then zoom in on the one house that has green grass? maybe its just me. however, my point being that if Google maps or whatever they used to do the bird's eye view in the movie were to focus on my neighborhood, our house would be that green one. we are in the middle of a semi-drought and my dad is obsessive about watering his lawn. daily. i don't get it. conserve water.
I am currently re-reading all the Harry Potter books and am on the Deathly Hallows. as much as i love these books (and believe me, i do), i feel like i haven't got the chance to read anything else all summer. so, after i finish the series, my book priority list is as follows:

  1. The Name of the Stars- Maureen Johnson
  2. Obsessed- Ted Dekker
  3. The Song of the Sparrow- ?? (i need to read this so that K and i can have another book swap)
  4. 1984- George Orwell (not of MY choosing, but of the AP Lit teachers' choosing)
Summer is almost halfway over and i feel as if i've done absolutely nothing that i told myself i would do.  hmmm thats ridiculous. however, that's how my summers all end up. oh and i still haven't redecorated my room like i said i would this summer. yeah. i'm that lazy. also, i really would like to see K again somewhat soon. oh and on a related note, K and I have been spamming each other's FB pages with music. it's great. except for that awful country song she tried to get me to listen to....that was really bad. Owen (from Just Listen by Sarah Dessen) would be so proud of our Music Enlightenment. it's really too bad that he doesn't exist. also, i've been using my time this summer to immerse myself even deeper in different types of music.
I apologize now for the randomness and seemingly insignificant-ness of this post. I just thought that our devoted readers *insert sarcastic smile here* deserved a post since the last one was about a month ago.
Oh, and in case anyone cares.... Song: Love Me or Leave Me by: Rooney

Peace Out. (which of course reminds me of "peace up a town..." yeah that's gonna be stuck in my head for a while and hopefully your's as well. you're welcome :P )
