    Gah! I know! :(
    I've been so caught up with everything lately - I barely even blog anymore! It's so unlike me! I also never read anymore, which is so so unlike me :(. I don't have time when we get a new book to read in English every time I pick up a book to read on my own! :(
    I need to get on top of things and start reading again; I miss it.
    I'll definitely read your blog! Mine's not too exciting, so I won't ask you to read it! lol

    That sucks. I guess I'm lucky in that way, being a freshman this year. But it seems like I've got so much to read, with book club and people giving me books to read...

    Just finished Lamb. I agree, the ending was pretty good. I meant to ask earlier, but I forgot, what's Fool about??

    I was watching this video of a teaser trailer or something, and it had like three different parts that you can sing...like melodies and harmony and stuff like that. Do you just pick one and do that, or does it ask you what you want to do??

    I'm at the part where they just went to Capernum and Josh has started speaking there, and that one Roman guy asked him to heal his friend who was in a different town, and it worked. Yeah, that was a horrible description of telling you where I am....sorry, 'bout that.

    Oh, no way!! I didn't want to get the Beatles one at first, cuz I'm not a big fan of theirs, but now I really want it. What instrument do you play?? Or I guess, which is your favorite to play??

    Hey, I'm finally reading a Christopher Moore book. ;) It's Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal. It's going good.....the middle was kind of dull, but it's getting better.

    Yeah. It doesn't pay too much, but hey, I'm getting paid for what I love to do - so it's well worth it. :)
    You ought to get a new job. Working for an hour doesn't even buy you a decent book! (By the way - I feel guilty about not reading lately. XD It's just that I have to read three books for school and reading anything else would feel like a waste of time - so I haven't been reading anything!)

    I like to rant. It's my favorite. If you click on my category called "rants" you'll see just how many times I have sat down to my blog and let everything out. :)

    It would be more like "I posted another blog entry if you want to check it out." :)
    But yes, I will check it out.

    I like it! :)
    Keep writing!!! Write about whatever suits your fancy. Tag like crazy and you'll get a ton of views a day. :)
    Sorry about your job hehe. I get about the same pay (even less sometimes), but I'm writing for our local paper which only comes out on the weekends and at least I'm doing what I love. I don't have to go anywhere either unless I have to interview people - I assign the stories to myself and just write at home whenever I feel like it. It's perfect. :)

    Thanks for the linkage! I was disappointed when you didn't post the link on my blog lol. I wanted to read it right away!!!

    Not much.
    Well, you just caught me at a sorta bad time to due manual labor. But, other than that pretty good.
    A little while back I read a book called The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins that was excellent.
    What about you?

    I'm on Spring Break too... I wouldn't see ANY of my friends if it wasn't for track practice everyday. Quite a few of my friends are on the school Europe Trip...so I really miss them. I've been working on English assignments and newspaper articles. I'm trying to keep myself busy. Do you watch soap operas on daytime TV? Those make me want to commit suicide lol. Pop in a movie or something :].

    You walked six miles just to get books? Eeesh... you MUST be bored. Lol, Christopher Buckley is like the G rated version of Christopher Moore. I loved Boomsday and have yet to read Thank You For Smoking. (I need to read it before I watch the movie!)

    Poetry is the bomb. I read it, write it, and love it. Check out some William Blake or Robert Frost - I think you'd really like Robert Frost. I have an Edgar Allan Poe book, but haven't really been reading it much. I want some opium so I can acquire some of his genius, though, I'll ya that much!

    You read my blog? And you thought it was interesting? *glows with pride*
    Just start a blog and let the words come. If you force it, it won't happen. One of my latest blogs (Sugar, spice, and everything nice...I think...) was one where I just sat down and decided that I would just let the words come to me. It turned into something I never would have thought of before writing it. I've been meaning to post my latest poems...maybe I'll do that today. You should get a blog, man - it would keep you busy. :]

    Life's been pretty good. This week off is turning into a rather productive week, and I am attending a banana split party in a few hours. Squee! I got asked to prom by our foreign exchange student, and I haven't answered him yet, but I'm definitely leaning towards yes. It should be a fun time, from what I've heard. :] I'm nervous about our upcoming track meets, but once they're over, they're over. I guess I shouldn't worry about it so much.

    You need a hobby other than reading. Reading is fun, but it definitely gets tiresome sometimes. Maybe you should...build model airplanes or something lol. :]

    You must be able to breeze through his books, huh? If I don't concentrate I miss the subtle humor! XD
    Haha, I need to say that more often... the bee's knees...that just cracks me up. Moore stole that from me! haha just kidding

    Sounds hilarious :].
    I love the way Brits talk...hearing them on XBOX Live is the bee's knees. (Don't laugh at me lol.)
    And yes, biscuits are basically the opposite to cookies - I just don't get it! hehe
    I finished Lamb...I think Biff is a coward lol. I'm happy about the ending, though. :]
    It shall be quite some time before I get my hands on another Moore book. I'll entertain myself with poetry for awhile.

    How's Fool?

    Lucky :].
    I plan to read it...eventually.
    It's taking me forever to get through Lamb. I'd say it's been about a month (of course, it's not the only book I am reading). I just can't focus on it. I have around twenty pages left, so I suppose I'll just finish it on up tonight.
    I love Moore, really I do, but it takes me forever to read his books! I think I am going to take a break from him after I finish Lamb and move onto something else for a little while. Usually I zip on through books, but not his.
    Ah well...
    please do tell me what you think :].

    Now I'm jealous!
    I'm torn between buying more Moore and buying a dress I want.
    I think I'll have to go with the dress.
    I'm still reading Lamb, so I have time to get more money and buy another book. :]

    I was in a Waldenbooks today and was looking for Moore. I found Coyote Blue, but it's cheaper at Borders and Barnes & Noble - I'll buy it eventually.
    I love Minty Fresh. Minty...haha that's just an awesome name. Minty just sounds like it's fresh, you know? XD
