Bookstores

Bookstores are just...awesome.  Sometimes I buy a book, sometimes I don't, but it's so much fun just to go and look around!

My dad took me and my siblings to Barnes and Noble today. (Y'know, we really need to stop shopping on Sundays...)  I SAW DOCTOR WHO BOOKS!!!!!! But I decided to buy Star Wars: Clone Wars Gambit: Siege, which is what I came for. The Doctor Who stuff was tempting, though.
I'll let myself read Siege when I finish week 6 of my school.  When I was in the science fiction section, I overheard a conversation. (I guess it's true that when Star Wars fans hear the words "Star Wars," you immediately have their attention.)  The guy talking didn't seem to like Star Wars very much.  Also at Barnes and Noble, there was a girl who was wearing an epic Superman shirt.  It was blue--Superman blue--with the Superman symbol on it.  IT WAS AMAZING.  Again, at Barnes and Noble, I saw FOUR SHELVES, four up-and-down sections of bookcases, branded with "Teen Paranormal Romance." Pardon, one shelf was "New Teen Paranormal Romance."
...what is our literary society coming to?  *shudders*

I love walking into bookstores.  They are gigantic rooms, filled with one of the best scents in the world--that of a book.  A bookstore is a portal to endless worlds.  Some are dangerous and must be avoided, but others of these paper-enclosed-worlds hold beautiful adventures worthy of any reader. A wealth of information, on subjects from the Taj Mahal to geometry to American literature of the colonial period, is disguised as an unassuming book.  Other books hold nothing, preparing to be filled with the thoughts of the owner.  Some books are naught but pictures; others are board books for a child's hands.  If one is looking for excitement, adventure, information, or even something to busy the chilrden with, a trip to the bookstore is recommended. 

I know, I know, libraries are the free bookstore, but I that wasn't my topic! :P

I have a billion trillion million things to say and rant about and I am SO excited I can post again!!!!!!!!  I hope I remember everything.  I possibly probably definitely won't. 

I'm so excited!!!!!!!!!

YES ABLE TO POST AGAIN!!!!!!

*acts ridiculously happy*

Short explanation: My computer-program-won't-let-you-see-bad-stuff and the various computers of my house have an...uh...interesting relationship.  There'd be blank white where my blog editing stuffs were supposed to be.  Or something like that.  But, obviously, now it's fixed so I can blog again!!!!!

Well.  Let's see...what to say what to say.  Oh!  I'm behind on school.  I'm supposed to be finishing up week 5 but I'm still on week 4.  I've finished week 4 for English, have 2 days of Government left to finish, a full five days of Religion, and 3 days of Literature.  And then I'll be done with week 4.  So, needless to say, it's gonna be a busy weekend.  I hate busy weekends. 

I went to my first college class today.  Dun dun DUUUUUUN.  It was pretty scary at first, waiting until the class would start.  And I'm so tiny and there are so many people... but once I got into the classroom I felt better.  And the teacher is really nice. 

I did a scene recreation contest on Lego.com, and the winner would get a prize of a picture drawn by yours truly of the scene they recreated.  They would get to choose if they wanted me to draw it in "normal" or Lego form.  The winner was HH (that's what I usually call him anyway) and he wanted the drawing to be Lego form. The scene he recreated was...well, why don't I show the drawing?  Maybe you can guess what scene it is.


Ta-da!!!!!!!!  Don't worry, that's not the finished drawing.  It's from the Star Wars The Clone Wars TV show...but that's all I'm telling you!  You'll have to guess.  I will show you some pics (well, maybe scans) of my progress as the picture moves towars completion, so if you can't guess now you might be able to guess later.

My fabulous friend Staples is working on an AWESOME book, and she's nearly at a full-length novel!!! YAAAAAAAAAAAY!

I've been watching Doctor Who lately...more on that later.  I haven't watched it recently lately though...I watched a few episodes on...Sunday, I think. 

I have my brother Grylls birthday present now! Actually, I pre-ordered it.  Am I the only person that gets presents WAY ahead of time?  I already have Dexter's Christmas present.  Just have to wrap it.  It's an Avengers t-shirt that glows in the dark.  It is epic.  Wish I had one.  But I got a Captain America's shield shirt.  It goes so nice with my earrings.  Y'know, when I got those earrings, I was thinking (I actually might have said it out loud) something like, "Wow, these earrings are perfect for the Captain America shirt I have yet to get."  And now I have the shirt!!!!!  YAY!  I'm a happy person.  :P

Well, that was a short update on my life in general.
