i like Saturdays. Its the longest possible time before school again. Holidays are soon though! Yay! We beat eigth grade!
The whole place here smells like pea soup. I dont like pea soup. It's very Exorsist though I suppose. And Papa's trying to make things healthy, but his soup isn't a meal, it's flavoured water. Its another reason to think he thinks we're sea mammals and not actual people. At least pea soup is better than fish soup.
I have to go down to the library and return City of Bones, which was okay. The demonhunters have this awesome magick rune tattoo things, except they're called Shadowhunters, which is lame.
I also read this awesome story set in like Arthurian times, where Merlin (i hate merlin but whatever) goes to this island of woman, and it's all mysterious and misty and beautiful. Anyway the women take on girl apprentices who learn how to be the warrior priestesses, and the rite of passage involves making a sword and part of the magic is bleeding on the sword. Except one of the girls is afraid of her own blood so is too scared to cut herself, and her friend tells her to use her womb-blood. So she does, on the top of this hill as it's all moonlight and mist. And because it's secret blood it does something different to the sword, and she fails the test because she was supposed to cut her palm and didn't, but the sword is all special, and turns out to be Excalibur. And it's cool because it's this total masculine symbol but the power behind it is really a womans and yeah.
To the library!
