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 don't care about Leven Thumps anymore. (Are you surprised?) Although the cliffhanging ending disappointed me, I still thought the book was awesome. The main character's name is Atticus Higginbottom. I've fallen in love with the name Atticus now, and of course added it immediately onto the list of my favorite names. It's right at the top with Ophelia. Atticus James.... Now that sounds nice.


Reality TV isn't where it's at, baby. Turn that set off and read reality instead.....The 13th Reality!

    No offense, but even if it was a romance novel, I would never fall in love with someone named Atticus Higginbottom. It sounds like Attic Huggen Bottom, which doesn't particularly appeal to me... :)

    Brynn: I would! It's a very interesting name.

    Yes I agree! :) It was great. I think you should get Zach to read it. That name is one of the greatest names ever.

The stories behind my "emo" wear!

Belt: I bought the black "emo" belt a couple weekends ago. I was wearing my black outfit so I bought it. I love this one more than the old one. I mean come on, it's black! I finally found my old "emo" belt ! Shoes: These are my "emo" shoes!! We went to the park, and they got muddy! My poor shoes! In my eyes cleaning my shoes when they're dirty shows my affection. But my Mom says I'm gross. Nail polish: I have been looking for black nail polish since Halloween. We couldn't find any, anywhere we went! My Mom said that an "emo" convention probably came through town. Well I did notice a ton of people in "emo" wear. When my Mom came home from the store she revealed the wonders of black nail polish ! I painted my nails quickly before church, and then I put orange dots to look like flames. Um.. It didn't turn out very well. So that's the history behind my "emo" wear! Interesting stories right?

Freak secret...Toothbrush edition

As most of you know I'm completely and utterly obsessed with my teeth. But does anybody know why? Nope. But I'm going to write about it today. So then you can say,"Pshaw, I knew that a long time ago. That's so old news." Do want to be able to say that? If you do read on.... The disgusting reason why I'm obsessed..... .. Last year when I went to Girls Camp I made list after list of things to bring. After all my preparing, and craziness I forgot to list an very important essential. My toothbrush !!!! Of course when actually remembered it I was well on my way to camp. Needless to say I panicked. But sadly I couldn't do anything but worry. For the whole week I had to clean mouth with mouth wash! It was absolutely horrid. I was afraid to talk to anybody, in fear that they would comment on my breath, or die because it was so bad. I was so thankful when my secret sister gave me mint gum. The moment I got home I made a solemn promise that I would never do that

Thank you for this award Brynn. It's awesome. I would like to give this to Whitney, Cam, Sister Face, and Lauren. One of Buster's all time favorite movies is Nacho Libre . I was not there the first time he watched it, so of course I got stuck listening to his interpretation of the movie, phony accent, and everything! After what it seemed like hours he finally stopped to breathe, and then he asked,"Sunbum, do you know what they got paid with when they won the competitions?" "No, I don't. But I'm sure that you'll tell me anyway," I replied. Unfazed by my negativity he jumped up and said,"Pretzels!" I fell over in surprise, and then I thought,"Wow! Those guys must really like pretzels! I wouldn't fight anybody for 10,000 pretzels! I don't even like pretzels!" A couple days later I decided to watch the movie to find out if it was true. As it turns out they got paid in pesos, not pretzels!...... I was pretty disappointe
