I really want to update this thing as often as I promised in the beginning, but I have been SO BUSY lately! However, I still haven't given up on it yet, and I don't plan to!

I WILL review that CD on my next post! Swear! I have listened to half of it.

Things are finally starting to look up for me! I hope I didn't just jinx it by saying that... Oh well, I don't think I did. I've got a good babysitting job now and that has helped me out tremendously!

I'm still reading the same two books I mentioned in my last post ha ha. I'll have at least one of them done fairly soon though!

Did you know that the fear of palindromes is the called aibohphobia and is cured with Xanax?

I promise I'll update more often and have more interesting things to say!

I'll leave with these wise words said by yours truly: "All the wrong pumpkins in all the wrong patches! Oh no! What will they do?!"

"That's perfectly disgusting!"

So it's been awhile since my last blog. A little over a week I think. Maybe more though. I'm not sure.

Anyways, I got asked to review someone's CD about two weeks ago and he even sent me a free download of it! I haven't had time to listen to  it all the way through yet. As soon as I do though I'll be posting it one here!

Still awaiting news from Ball State music school to know if I got in. Gah! I wish I could just know right then and there if I made it or not! Oh well, I guess whatever happens, happens.

Good news! I have been in a MAJOR reading mood lately!

I'm currently reading Flowers in the Attic by V.C. Andrews for the third time. I just love it so much! I wanted to read it again, and hopefully read the rest of the series again this year. I have only read the other four books in the series one time each.

I'm also reading The A.B.C. Murders by Agatha Christie. I'm not very far into that one so I can't tell you if it's any good or not yet. I bet it will be seeing as the last book I read by her was amazing! If you're looking for a good, fun  and interesting mystery I would certainly suggest reading her book, And Then There Were None (also published as Ten Little Indians). Favorite quote from one of the movies made from it: ::After watching a man choke to death right in front of her:: "That's perfectly disgusting!" haha! My friend and I were cracking up when she said that! ::Sigh:: Gotta love old movies :) 

I have this sort of interview thing today. It's not really an interview, it's just meeting this family that I might babysit for. If they like me that is. Which I mean come on! Who wouldn't like me? He he :-p  I'm kind of nervous that the kids won't, but hey I'm gonna go in there with a positive attitude! So hopefully that goes well!

I also got this three day job working at a food booth at this festival for farmers. Try saying that five times fast ("Food booth at this festival for farmers, food booth at this festival for farmers, etc...)! The lady told my mom that if it goes well I might be able to do other festivals with them so I hope that works out too!


So who all is excited for Spring??

I know I am! I was so sick of winter! Oh my! I don't care if I ever see snow again!

Now I'm curious...

What is YOUR favorite season? ...and also... Do any of you know any other good mystery authors? If so, what books by them would you suggest reading?

And that's all she wrote... 'Til next my friends,

Literacy

Write, read, write, read.

Two things I need to do more often.

I have been picking up my reading pace so that's a plus! Although I've been reading Paper Towns since January so that's a bad thing... It's not that I don't like this book, in fact, I think it's really cool and awesome and interesting! It's also my favorite book by John Green and I haven't even finished it yet! So that is saying something. What is it saying? You might ask. It's saying that I really like this book! Unfortunately I have just not been in reading moods lately, but that is changing thank God! I hate not reading... I know that puts me on yet another minority list in society but you know what? I don't care. I love to read and I hate not to read. It's just who I am. So there.

Is there anyone else out there who feels the same as I do? Go ahead you can be honest. If you're not that into reading, that's OK! I won't hate you or anything, though I will question your intellect because you can gain SO MUCH from reading, but most people don't take the time to really appreciate a good book. The people who don't like to read generally have only read books that they were required to read. Don't go off on me now I know that's not the case for EVERYONE, but from my experience with people who don't like to read, they say they it's because they hate the stuff they read for school. It's like they have never taken the time to read a book of their choosing. Trust me, you get so much more enjoyment out of reading something you actually want to read than something you're forced to read.  Not to say that all assigned reading is bad! I have been assigned reading that I am really glad to have read, and would not have read otherwise. I just wish people these days were more literate. I think the world would be a little better if this were so. Young people today, including myself, are so into their own lives and technology that they can't seem to find time to jump into someone else's life for a little while. Reading expands the mind. Seeing the world through someone else's eyes broaden's  your horizons, takes you out of your own little comfortable box for awhile.

So, all I am asking is that if you're not a fan of reading, give it a try! Just make sure it's a book that you choose.

Sorry I know this got a little preachy but hey, I wanna be a college professor so I have to start convincing people to start reading now so I can have somewhat literate students when I get there!
