Leven Thumps rocks

-
Who has the honored title of my favorite author? The author of Leven Thumps, of course. When I got home Wednesday night my mom was on the phone so I went to eat. I was kind of disappointed because I had just finished, Leven Thumps and the Eyes of the Want that afternoon. Suddenly she came running into the living room and said,"Sunbum you will either jump through the ceiling or wet your pants." She went on to say,"Guess who is coming?" I got excited even before I knew. Obert Skye?" Yes, she exclaimed!" He's coming to Sister Writer's house. I started screaming,"Obert Skye is coming! Obert Skye is coming!" I was jumping up and down as I said that so it sounded weird. I kept saying that as I walked around the house. Until my brothers and sisters started teasing me for being all girly. Then I just kept it to myself. On Friday I got ready really early. Well earlier than I usually do. I curled my hair, and put on my new outfit. My day got even better when my Grandparents came to drop off the second Leven Thumps book, that my Aunt was borrowing. Sister Writer lives close to us so we got there pretty quickly. I jumped enthusiastically out of the car. When we got inside there weren't a lot of people yet. So I got a spot close to where he would be standing. I started discussing the books with the girl next to me. We both love the books. The living room was finally packed and some people were going upstairs to watch. Then Obert Skye himself walked into the room with a helper. He told us awesome stories about his childhood, and he also gave out Leven Thumps T-shirts. Monkey didn't want to be there but she caught a shirt. After that he started signing books. I got both of mine signed. I was so excited. And I got a picture with him. When I got home I went to the web site. It was really cool. This was the best day ever for me. I love Leven Thumps. Oh! And thank you for inviting him Sister Writer!!!

"Holy" Bushes.

I'm so happy! Surprisingly the weather here is perfect, and I love it. Since I want to soak up the sun (no I am not quoting Sheryl Crow!) before it's too hot I have spent many of my precious hours outside like a normal kid. Ha! Like I could ever be normal . Yesterday I went to help my grandmother clean her house, I also did her weeds. Hers are a lot better than ours. *sigh* The worst part though was that all her weeds were inside the holly bushes . I have just developed a strong hatred toward holly bushes , you should see the scratches they give. Yuck! Today's music selection is..... Spill Canvas's All Over You. I think that song rocks, I listened to over and over while I wrote this post. I think you should listen to it right now on my play-list.

My new favorite book is......

I have just finished reading a fantabulous book entitled The 13th Reality by James Dashner. My mom totally surpised me and my siblings by making an un-announced stop at Barnes&Noble bookstore last Wednesday. I wasn't sure what book she was getting but then I remembered, "Oh yeah...That book she told me about a couple months ago. What was it called again?" Sadly, my feeble mind just couldn't remember. As soon as we paid and the book was nestled into my grubby, little hands, I started reading, and before I knew it, I was hooked. I couldn't believe how good The 13th Reality was. I had a hard time tearing myself away from the book for even a second. Of course I kind of have a life so I had to occasionally...........at least for potty breaks. Anyway, I absolutely loved The 13th Reality, and if I was a critic I would give it 5 stars. If I had 5 thumbs, I'd also give it a 5-thumb salute! It was one of the best books I've ever read. Yes, that's right I d...

The Man-crush series episode No. 1

There's a crazy dude in Kung-Fu that my family and I call Man-Crush. The following is the reasons that he's crazy, and the first of many stories behind his name...... It all started one Monday evening Kung-Fu class, I was minding my own business and doing what my teacher told me to do; when I noticed a guy in the corner that I had never seen before. He was watching ogling Kevin do jump-kicks with two other kids and telling the dude next to him," Kevin is so awesome! I mean he teaches and he's still at the top of his game! When I tried to teach I always forget things, but I mean Kevin , well Kevin is totally at the top of his game!!". When Master J. finally let Kevin take a break he was completely red in the face, and breathing really hard. Then Man-Crush came up to him like an excited puppy while waving the Powerade and saying,"Kevin! Kevin! Do you want some Powerade?" Kevin responded by telling him,"No, *huff* thanks *puff* man.....*gasp*...
