No, not those zombies either. That wouldn't make for a good fight scene, unfortunately. These things are much creepier than zombies... in my opinion they are, anyway.
No, I haven't. I'm trying to get Twi to loan me Sims... She seems to have forgotten though. *ugh summer reading*.... I have a list of books I want to read, but don't have time to because of school.... It's probably not gonna stop me, though. |

I haven't even bothered to open my summer reading book. It's basically optional though.
I've got un-read on my bookshelf: Mockingjay 1984 Huge Sherlock Holmes book Some "The Alchemist" that I've had for years (I always try to start it and get bored) Two Artemis Fowls Five Diary of a Wimpy Kids Some Shakespeare Clockwork Angel (the summer reading) The Silmarillion And I need to finish The Return of the King. What should I start first? |

Take "The Alchemist," and throw it away. It's a fifth grade level book that they think is for 10th graders.
I'd suggest Shakespeare, but that honestly depends on the play. Probably should go with 1984 or Mockingjay... David Bowie has inspired me to read a few different books. The Man Who Fell to Earth The Sower and the Seed Absolute Beginners TO THE HALF PRICE BOOKSTORE! |

Ironically, I think I bought The Alchemist in 4th grade. Only because the book says: "The Secrets of The Immortal Nicholas Flamel"
Wait-- it's the Alchemyst? With a y? Has it always said that? "Always," said Snape. I haven't heard of any of those. I want to re-read the Harry Potter series sometime, too. I've only read it once, 1-4? in 3rd grade, the rest in 5th. |

Oh... That Alchemyst. That one's okay.
The AlchemIst is a piece of crud. Those books I listed are all also movies... Starring David Bowie...... And they were rather good. So in my head, the logic goes "if the movies were that good, the books must be even better, and I get the advantage of picturing David Bowie in there!" |

But the Alchemist is spelled correctly. How can it be terrible?
So if the movies were poop, you wouldn't read the books? The Hunger Games movie was no good. |

Like I said, it's a 5th grade reading level book, which they think is meant for 10th graders. It's so repetitive that I could literally guess what was going to happen next, with great accuracy. I prefer books that take advantage of the element of surprise.
Well, usually that's the case, but I rarely see a bad movie that's based on a book. When I do, I've almost always read the book already. I actually liked the Hunger Games movie. It stayed pretty true to the book. |

Eh, maybe its just my opinion. I must be the weird one that read the book and also liked the movie.

It's a CARAMEL CAKE (well, the cake mix at least). I usually get white cake and do chocolate icing, but this time I wanted to try something different.
I don't really like it, even though I'm sure I made it how I was supposed to. Brother's already eaten almost half of it, so it might just be me. d: Did you see those clay Harry Potter people I made? |

WHAT. Mom liked it, too?
It tastes like dirt to me. I need to buy more clay, still. Maybe I'll get mom to take me to Michaels when I bother her to go buy school things with me. What's up with these tiny plastic toys being sold? I'd lose them in seconds, or play with them for a minute or two and toss them away. |

Perhaps the cake just wasn't to your specific tastes?
I don't know what's up with the tiny plastic toys. I don't pay enough attention to those things. |
