A few notes to my fellow blogger M:
1. I definitely plan on continuing the HP series (I'm already to emotionally invested not to haha)
2. I would have been surprised if you actually left the library without a book in hand
3. I look forward to your review on Chopsticks (I've heard of the book and have been debating on if I was going to read it or not).
4. I wasn't a big fan of Maureen Johnson's book 13 Little Blue Envelopes, but after your high praise of The Name of the Star I must read it!
5. Very nice music you had playing :)
Now on to my post :D (pretend to be excited please haha).
(iTunes on shuffle: Teenage Dream- Katy Perry) Wow two post in one week??? Someone get me some butter because I'm on a roll! Hahaha, yeah I know that was lame, but hey at least I can still joke around! I think it's one of the saddest things when people have been so jaded by life that they can barely smile anymore...
Of course this being a post by K it's going to be all over the place as usual. So enjoy the long, random but entertaining (hopefully) ride :)
So first off I would just like to complain for a second because I'm very annoyed!!! My knee has been feeling really strange for a few weeks so far so I've been trying to stay off of it but it hasn't really helped (All The Way Up- Emily Osment, don't judge me! lol). So I'm just going to go back to my usual work out routine since putting it on pause hasn't helped :p
Guess what I just realized today. I've always known this I guess, but never really acknowledged it until today. When the book has a girl for the main character, I hate it when she's a "damsel in distress." Nothing annoys me more than a girl who can't take care of herself. Now don't get me wrong, I don't mean that she has to always deal with things on her own and never let anyone help her. That's not what I'm saying at all. (Pretending- Glee version). What I mean is I hate it when the girl always counts on a guy to rescue her because then she never learns to rescue herself. It's kinda like the song Cinderella by the Cheetah Girls (yeah, I know throwback moment haha). "I don't wanna be like Cinderella, Sitting in a dark, cold, dusty cellar, Waiting for somebody to come and set me free, I don't wanna be like someone waiting, For a handsome prince to come and save me, I'd rather rescue myself." Does that make sense at all? I like a strong independent female lead, but I just don't believe that independent means that she has to do everything on her own. How about I give you an example of what I mean (of a female character I don't like): Isabella Swan (you should have seen that coming). She completely changes her life for a guy and basically set herself up for disaster when he left to "protect" her. I hate that. I can understand if you truly love a guy and he actually is the guy you want to marry. Yes, he's supposed to protect you and you're supposed to be able to depend on him, but you also need to know how to depend on yourself. (Far Away- Nickelback). I'm not sure if I got my point across, but if I didn't oh well. I'm moving on with this post.
My reasoning for posting so soon anyway is because I was reading M's latest post and I saw that she got book #15 for her list (congratulations by the way). That just made me realize that I have yet to set up my own list of 55 books *insert my "I'm so appalled" face here* haha. Anywho so that's what I will be doing with my lovely night while I try not to die of heat stroke. I just wanted to inform all of our lovely readers that I will begin my own list since M and I have different books on ours (despite the many things we have in common). (Not Afraid- Eminem).
Okay, so I love summer as much as the next student, but I'm not a summer chick. Yeah, there are days where I love to feel the warmth the sun radiates. It's relaxing and feels amazing, but this whole two months of upper 90s and lower 100 degrees of weather is NOT my cup of hot coco (I don't like tea... Mercy-Duffy). I'm a perfect weather gal. Of course mother nature does not always give us perfect weather despite my pleas. So I always tend to enjoy the cold more. I love the cold because that means I can drink hot coco and bundle under covers while watching a good movie. Plus, my body is naturally cold (you won't believe how many times I've had friends tell me how cold my hands are) and I like it that way. I don't like sweating and I don't like all the exposed skin girls show in the summer (yes, I would say I'm rather conservative in the way I dress, but I'm not a nun or anything -.-). I'm just not a summer weather girl so this weather is kicking my butt (Fade to Black- Apocalyptica). However, I'm enjoying summer and I hope you are too :)
Oh one quick thing before I go. I won't be doing star ratings anymore. Purely because I'm forgetful and often too lazy to do so. I'm sorry if you're disappointed, but I think I do a pretty decent job of making my opinion known of a book in my posts. Yups, that's all. Good bye for now!!!
