Name dropping.

Did an interview with everyone's favorite YA author Lauren Barnholdt last night. I'll post it later. I got in four book reviews with Today's Teen (including the interview) and my first bad review. Which I'm now kind of excited about. I mean how often do you get to spew all over someones career? NOT OFTEN ENOUGH I SAY! (oh. wow. that was really terrible. I need to go swallow some Dial.)

Right now I'm reading The 310: Life as a Poser by Beth Killian which I'm loving. It's just one of those fun summer reading books. It's great for beach-reading, and rainy day-reading, and those ever so popular after-exam-readings. It'll be my next review, possibly--- I still have to write a review on I Don't Want To Be Crazy by Samantha Schutz which was also excelent, if not a bit dark. It fit me well, anyways. I hope other people can relate to it as well as I could. It was geared towards teens with anxiety disorders.

Today was such a lazy day for me. Lately, everyday has been unneccesarily lazy. I woke up, went for a bike ride around my neighborhood (twice) and then went into the library for all of ten minutes. I was going to A) Pay my ludicrus $16 late fee's and check out some books I need for research, B.) Screw the late fees, pay 10 cents to photocopy the pages I needed, C.) Walk to the isle where my books were and find that they were CHECKED OUT.

Ok first of all, who checks out books on religious sects and cults in America?

WHO?

(Besides me) There is no one else in Boca Raton who NEEDED that book. I am telling you-- this library is out to get me. If I wasn't so incredibly lazy I would walk the extra mile to Borders and do my research there but...ah...its like 200 degrees outside (hyperbole? ME?) and...uh...well I have a high-maintinance complexion.

I'm bored stiff. My friend Jadebellamushroom (her real name is Kimberly. Everyone calls her Jade though. I can't just call her Jade though. I have to embellish because Jade is not interesting enough. So I started calling her Jadebella -- and actually, she'll kill me for spilling this --but Jade in Chinese (or japanese, or thai..or something) means whore and of course, bella means beautiful so she's a beautiful whore...and then mushroom...If you say Jadebella enough times it sounds like portabella--and well....self explinatory) That was the evolution of Jade. Fascinating stuff. ANYWAYS-- she's in California right now. Along with my other friend Hallie (who is going to be a big movie star) and my other friends are working at the camp I got fired from (don't ask), and all the girls I met at the workshop live about three hours away from Boca...and so...I'm updating my Lj at 4:00, which is just a tad bit pathetic.

Well, there are books to be read-- careers to be sullied, ciao for now.
