calaclysmic catastrophe

i dont really know if thats the exact phrase i read.. but its sticking out in my head now. i spent a great majority of my day reading the book Sloppy Firsts.. when i mean reading it.. i mean i read the whole thing... i could not stop. it was insane. i guess its a good sign though for the book. sarah suggested that i read this book. i think we have very similar tastes in good reads, thanks :). once i finish a book i have to write down or do something with the parts that stick out to me or else ill lose them forever, which is also like my book partner haha but this book is about a teenage girl in high school talking about all her nuerotic views on life and friends in little pineville high. this girls name is Jessica Darling. hah but apparently shes not her name at all. her parents even call her "notso" because shes not so darling.. clever eh? yea i thought so.. but she writes so much about everything that worries her in life (which is just about everything) and she really over analyzes a lot and shes a hazard to herself for it. this is something i can relate to haha i love the books where you can see yourself in their shoes.. but whatever yea it was a funny book i recommend it. so im gonna write down some stuff from the book that i need to.

i love how little by little books can change you. (thats not from the book just an observation). heres whats from the book

-(talking about her parents) The most exciting things going on in their lives arent even going on in THeir lives. My mom lives for bethany's wedding appointments. my dad lives for my meets. and that seems to be okey dokey to them.

-MY mom came home from work last night and asked how my day was.
"Amaya is boiling bunnies over Colin..."
"Who? what?"
"and ruthie is an alkie in denial. And Justin..."
"Jessie! what are you talking about? who are these people? are they friends of yours?"
"uh not really," i said, "theyr from the Real World."
My mom sighed and said, "Jessie I asked you how YOUR day was."
That's when I realized i had gotten too attached to the TV.

i will leave this entry here so it wont be too much to read.. if its read at all.. and ill put whatever else i want on the next one.. i know everyone has the attention span of a fly.. thus i will try to save myself by cutting myself off.. right about now..
