Anyone read it? I thought it was really good. Aha, won't lie, I did skim since I got a little bored with parts but overall it was a really good book. After I read it I went on an internet binge of looking things up on it. Their coming out with a movie of it, it originally said march of 2009 but I figure not since its already mid februray, but look out for it in december. I'm gonna be so thrilled to see how it turns out : ) You can't help but compare books to movies all the time now can you?

Daphne Loves Derby

Heard of em? Probably not aha. I pretty much fell in love with them in 7th grade, haven't been so engaged with them lately, but their an all time fav. Their pretty mellow so if you like laid back stuff, may be for you.

Favorite Songs:
How It's Going To End
To Struggle With Light Colors
Love & Mercy
Kirby
& Practically their whole Good Night, Witness Light album : )

I've Been Slacking : )

Well it sure had been a while since I posted aha.
What can I say? New semester, tests, quizzes, projects-all that yada.

So on Friday Brooke and I went to this...how to phrase it. I wouldn't call it a concert because basically its just this dudes house where a ton of bands in the local Bloomington Normal area play. You do have some bands that are from chicago and all that area who come up such as The Please And Thank You's. Truthfully we went because this band from our school was playing there. They have an annoying groupie system I swear. Like 8 chicks come who just dance around lamely and shriek the entire time and don't listen to anyone elses music except the band they came to see. So then they just leave and let me tell yah, they missed out. Tina Sparkle was oh so amazing x] Check em out on iTurnes-Their styles sort of like The White Stripes, and The Who-classical rock with a twist. You can check out all these bands on Myspace as well. I'll give you stuff on them at a later date. Nearly all the bands were pretty cool...cept one that just wasn't much of my style aha. And we met the dude there whose house it was. It's a pretty cool area. And he doesen't allow drugs or booze which I do like because I know my parents would not go for that, not that they really even knew where I was going cause I didn't either lol. So I encourage you to go find some underground local bands in your area. You'll find some hilariously great people : )


Now what have I been up to these past few weeks? Reading-music, what else? Haha. Truthfully I've been re-reading the Harry Potter series since I never read the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd. And of course we all know about Harry Potter so I won't bore you with that : ) Buuuuttt their are a few good series to be noted that im just polishing off.


Sloppy Firsts, love this series. Theres four-Second Helpings, Charmed Thirds, then Fourth Comings. It's about Jessica and these are her journals that she started writting when her bestfriend left her at a high school full of people she hates pretty much. Then she gets intangled with Marcus Fluttie, who the school knows as an infamous pot smoker and chick banging loser. But theres so much more to him then you think : ) Trust me. I wish I had a Marcus Flutie : ) So check out the series, tell me what you think, and happy readings to you!
