Don't Give Me That (What She is Saying at the Moment)

Technically, the season of summer came a long time ago, but it's really not summer yet until school's out.
Did you know that I have summer homework? 3 books, and lots of assignments that come with it.
Oh well. At least it's better than last year, when we had to do 7 projects involving personal information as well as news article research + artistic/creative decorations. That was just plain horrible.
At least during the hot season I am permitted to enjoy some ice. Well, occasionally.

A Comfy Chair

*Sigh...* It gets so woozy when the weather is warm {or at least starting to get warm}. This project of "daily blogging" is obviously ruined. Even if I do try to pick up the pieces, I would be really, really, old. Why am I always thinking of the impossible.
Anyway, I went to a presentation from an author today, and thought about how she had written books, most of which were three hundred pages. So I though, "Hm, if she can write that much, I guess I do my best..."
So, yet again, I am here, sitting in my not-so-comfortable chair, making a fool of myself.
Ha, thank goodness nobody reads this thing.
Also... she was talking about how she can't write without having chocolate on hand. Wow, is that funny. I'm eating Toblerone right now. :D
I have some more challenging coloring work to do. Plus, I really need to catch up on the 100 something days I had missed... In addition, I should really stop with all the transitional phrases. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE GETTING TO MY HEAD!

Browsing...

I went to a bookstore today {it was a messy one too}. You want to guess what I found?
It was one of those yellow books, you know the ones that are called, BLAHBLAH for Dummies ? Yeah, those stupid books. Except it wasn't just the usual BLAHBLAH, it was a funny BLAHBLAH.
Something like WordPress for Dummies.
HA! Can you imagine that? {In case you didn't know, WordPress is a site that hosts blogs and is kind of like BlogSpot but not quite the same.}
Well anyway, I flipped through the book, and it was very, very, VERY well suited for a dummy. No offense but, it was talking about WHAT BUTTON TO PRESS.
I mean,
COME ON.
Then they had some stupid stuff... But most of all the reason why I didn't like it was for the fact that it was WordPress. I looked at some before, and they looked so-so, but the only thing that made it repulsive was the advertisements. Have I mentioned how annoying they are? Ugh, horrible.
It makes WordPress horrible too.

A Day In Events #7

Arg, the days are passing so fast these days - I can't keep up with my posts! Yes, apparently they are going faster than me. THIS IS A RACE, PEOPLE!
-I got 10 hours of sleep today. YAY! I GET A GOLDEN HAPPY FACE! :)
-I had class today. {English, of course.} It wasn't so bad. YAY I GOT 100% ON MY VOCABULARY QUIZ! See? That's what you get for studying. :P
-Library trip! Yop, yop. I returned a WHOLLLEEEEEE bunch {that I didn't finish since they were all non-fiction and super uber boring}, and then I borrowed wayyyyyyy more than I returned. :D
-I read for the rest of the afternoon. As well as worked on my project. It's very distracting when you've got some idiot bugging you about how watery strawberries are.
-Ugh, the stupid phone keeps ringing. SHUT UP, WILL YOU? I DON'T GIVE A rats poop ABOUT TELEMARKETERS, DANG IT!
-Stupid Blogger won't let me put on all these labels that I want to put on. Sheesh, don't have to be so stingy about the labels! >_<
-Now there's this weird error thing - every time I try to upload a picture, it fails. Over, and over, and over again. Ah.
I think Ralph's a bit angry at me. I've neglected him all day {and a lot of the past week too}. I'M SORRY RALPH. I'M SURE WE'LL GET TO FINISH THAT TREE HOUSE SOME OTHER DAY. I like construction. It's fun. WAIT. EXCEPT - I hate it when I get paper cuts from the stupid blueprint paper. Darn blueprints. The paper just HAS to be so thick, doesn't it? {sigh....*}

Goodreads

So you know, I was doing my usual browsing... when I came upon a new website {new indicating I had never seen it before}. http://www.goodreads.com/ It's really cool! So how it works, is: You create an account. You create a profile. You add books to your lists. You can write reviews for books. You can give a book a rating. You can explore new books. You can find out what your friends are reading. {You can make up your lists, or you can choose from "read, currently reading, or to-read."} You make friends. You create groups. You join groups. You can even WRITE your own stuff on there. It is SOOOO cool, I tell you. Hmmmm. Do I see anybody interested? No, of course I'm not giving you my profile address. Puh-shaw. :P If you are bored, and have lots of time, and is already done with blogging for the day, you should go ahead and make an account if you don't have one, and add some books! Wheeeeeeeeeeeee...! Ralph likes to say that alot. Who knew breads had a high pitched voice? Hm.

A Trip To The Library

Today i went to the library, for research with our teacher for our project. It was a big library, with a BUNCH of floors. I handed in my library card application, and got started! The shelves were old and dusty, and so were the books. With creaky floors, and grand halls, i felt as if the library was from some old age. Of course, i was mistakened, as they had a LOT of resources that were quite recent, and useful as well. The most memorable part about that library, was the elevator. Yes, elevator. I was thinking : Hm, big library, cool elevator, right? Um, no, not really. It turned out to be quite packed, and thin feeling. The walls felt thin. It was a thin elevator. As in not sturdy. O_o So, i didnt want to go through all those stairs, and decided to try it out. It was the only elevator in the entire building, but there werent many people using it. Anyways, i went in with my friend, and the whole thing croaked. I mean , it sounded like it was going to come apart. There were sqeaks here and there, and i almost expected the whole thing to start shaking. Thank god the ride was short. Later on, i had to go on it several times [i was carrying heavy books and didnt want to walk all the way there], but it was creepiest when i had to go alone. I was kinda saying to myself: Think Ralphy thoughts, think Ralphy thoughts. I guess it wasnt that scary, but rather i made a big deal out of it, to myself. Anyways, it sure was fun there. So educational! O_o
