So if your a reader I totally recommend the Hunger Games. I don't ever want to reread books because, well been there done that, but I would and totally almost started them over. It's hard to believe it's a young adult series and I can't wait to see the films.
Currently I am trying to digest and read The Room. It's slow moving because of the dilect. Its about a mother and son that seem very uneducated and are being held prisoners by some creepy guy. The never leave this little room and only get 1 treat every week. I think the woman was kidnapped and raped to produce the boy. I'm only 10 percent into the book, so I don't know much but the boy thinks that everything is alive i.e. the table, the chairs, etc. I wanted to read the help personally but I had started the room before so I wanted to finish it. But it's giving me a headache. I know- I should just give it up but I have been trying to finish everything I start! Wish me luck!

I've been converted!
I never thought I would truly give up books! I love the smell of them. But my kindle and a recent experience with a book did me in. I was playing with the boys by saying "what does the book smell like to you? I smell trees, adventure, imagination...." Eli said " Me smell". So I let him take a whiff and he said he smelled "pbutter and jelly!" No it did not but at least he used his thinker. Ben just repeated everything I said. Anyways as they sat down for a movie I pulled out the Historian. I nearly went cross eyed. The print is so small!!! My kindle lets me make my font any size so I don't have to squint. I got a headache looking at the words. To add to it I was completely discouraged by the size of the book 649 pages. My Kindle just tells me what percent of the book I have read. I just wish my kindle was water proof and had a button that sprayed book smell! Dreaming!!!!

Not worth it!
Here is my rant on friendship (and one of the blogs that many nights gets longer and longer-- depending on my day!) My mom say I need more friends and I say why they just disappoint you. True- all those people you went to school and said you'd be BFF and then when you need them the most they are gone. Granted my situation of getting deathly ill in school is different more than most but you just want a friend- not someone who treats you as diseased and won't touch you with a 10 ft pole, It hurts. So I really try to hate people and make them make me like them. I don't let many in now a days because people have made me bitter. For instance I made 2 new friends close to my age this year and all they were were full of empty promises. I got hurt and then said forget them. It makes it hard to trust people I'd rather be at home with myself because I can always do something that makes me happy, and very seldom do I disappoint myself, and when I do, I can fix it!

Feeling alittle Peetaish!
I just finished the hunger games and LOVED IT!!!! It had a great ending but it's one of those series that you can't get enough of. I however never really thought I would relate to a male character. But I'm a Peeta. Peeta is a young guy thrown into a death battle with the person he's always loved. Katniss, the main character and female role never knows that he has these feeling for him until he declares them to the entire world and really doesn't comprehend it until the end of the series. It's sad how clueless she is and how he would do anything to keep her alive- risk his life. I've had a friendship like that. One that has changed my life and he would never know the difference. We met in kindergarten and were best friends (in my eyes at-least ) Through the years we remained close and only drifted apart after high school (more like when I got sick). Things he's said have effected my life Tons of times and I always thought we'd be close. It kinda hurts to know that we never speak, a happy birthday here and there but thats it. All the times he pushed me away and I always came back- like Peeta. Peeta ends up going crazy and wanting to kill Katniss- I don't think that will happen but the moral of the story is (spoiler alert of Mockingjay) I don't think I will get that ending. I remember thinking all through life we'd marry and be a family but the future doesn't hold that any longer. Maybe that makes me more of a Gale (the other male character who would do anything for Katniss but she sees only as a friend and protector!) Life just has to large of a pull to let our lives interwine again. But I will find someone to see me as Peeta see Katniss. Someday!
Ok that was probably super cheesy but was on my mind, I wanted a nice blog before I go on the rampage! LOL

But I blog every night!
I have just figured out how I have been lacking in the blog department. But I blog myself to sleep!!! HUH? The fact is that I do my best thinking and flowing when I'm falling asleep. So I create a topic and blog it to myself until I fall asleep. I hope that I remember it the next day but more than likely I don't! I have not abandoned you- I promise I just feel like I already did it!
