Yes, it's a true story (Into the Wild, not The Mist). About a man who, in my personal opinion, is the dumbest guy I've ever heard about.I love Stephen King, and I liked the movie version of the mist -- better ending, I think. Skeleton Crew is the only one of his short-story books that I never read all the way through. I liked the mist, but some of the others in there are better.
Guess what! I started a discussionon tips on the AP nerds group for the upcoming students...
I didn't like Into the Wild for two reasons: one is that I liked a couple of the author's other books and that one was pretty much really different. The other one was that the guy in the book (Chris McCandless/Alexander Supertramp) just irritated me to no end... I like to think that I would have asked myself how the bus got there. I couldn't really make myself feel bad for him, because he was a complete idiot and, in my harsh, judgmental opinion, deserved what he got.Didn't like the movie, either.
Speaking of Breaking Dawn... instead of you going up to MA to visit your mother, SHE should come down here for the release party of Breaking Dawn at the book store (whatever one is next to Target in Central Park). August 2nd (my 18th birthday) 12:01am the book will be available! Tell her she only has to suffer for another 44 days, 2 hours, and 4ish minutes... My mother says i need a chaperone.

Sure - bring my little buddy up with you. She can stay till August when we can each get our own copy of book #4 and have a reading frenzy! LOL
teehee... why? What happened? I have a feeling it has something to do with Twilight/New Moon/Eclipse/Breaking Dawn????

I read To Sir with Love when I was in college and loved it. Then I forgot all about it. Thanks for the reminder, and I think I will pick it up again.

Thank you Ziggy!!
It says it needs your City, i put spotylvania, but that might not be right. And your work and home phone number.
I need your help! I need a "professional reference" for a job application. And It says I can use teachers so i was hoping you wouldn't mind being my reference? I'm applying to Borders!
I actually feel smart for a change... :)
Chouette mec! See, everyone in class thought I was crazy for mentioning existentialism in the first poem essay, but looks like THEY were the crazy ones. Heck yes! I was starting to worry that I made a fool out of myself/doubting by mentioning existentialism in the compare/contrast essay, but I guess I don't have to worry any more. YEAH!!! You have no idea how awesome that makes me feel...
But his didn't look like that - his was 8P

Oh well. I'm gonna show up as early as I can. I'm hoping I can say goodbye to some savvy juniors, cause I didn't really get the chance on Tuesday. Haha, I know I probably sound really lame for wanting to go to school so much, it's just that even knowing that Tuesday was it didn't really sink in until I got off the bus, and I didn't really end things the way I wanted to.
Okay, nevermind, I had those questions answered. And you know what? I'm mad. Lexi went to school today, rode the freaking bus cause she wouldn't have had a ride to rehersal. I could've done that and it would have been a lot more convenient. ]:(
Haha, yes, I know, reading would be a good idea. I don't know, the boredom I get is just like that. I don't ever want to do anything except go out. Alright, we don't have to dress up or anything for rehersal do we? And is it 2:30 or 3:00? Jessica told me 2:30, and I was planning on getting there right as school ended anyway, but for some reason 3:00 is stuck in my head. Thanks.
Yeah, I always get sad when school lets out because even with work to take up most of my time, on my days off I'm usually horribly bored. And it's the bad kind of bored, where you don't want to do anything to stop being bored, you just want to sit around and complain about your boredom.
Well thats not very nice - although I don't get how that is sticking your tongue out.
