Lindsey | 505 comments Yeah that is kind of amazing, only four. I have a friend tht goes to a Catholic private school but I think most of the people that go there really are catholic. I live in Oklhoma though so alot of people go to church here, you know the 'bible belt' thing. I'm actually homeschooled though.

mmm. Not much in the suburbs, but i really love Northern Adelaide, with all that Greenery, and Torrens River.
i live the Barossa for all the wide open grass, and old mansions.
Havnt been to Robe for years, but i love it there!
And Victor is great!!!!!


Oh, BTW, have you been to "The Northern Lights?" along North Terrace?
Its the huge light display on the buildings.
If you havnt been, you should definitely go before ends!
Its spectacular!

Annemarie Carlson (annielawlz) | 116 comments Oy vey... Okay, um... I'm reading(sort of) a lot of books, well not a lot but a couple more then I should, probably. XD

The Vampire Lestat (The Vampire Chronicles, #2) by Anne Rice
^^ Uhhh... On Hold... I started reading this book in January and read it for a day and got like half way through, but I haven't picked it up since. Not sure why.


Fablehaven- This book I'm actually reading, and actually reading as in, its open right now, and every so often I read a page as I fool around on the computer.

The Sweet Far Thing (Gemma Doyle, #3) by Libba Bray
^ Heh, heh... Funny story about this one. I'm just about to the end, but I know the ending so I refuse to read anymore. I'm not sure when I'll actually get around to reading it... it will make me sad when I do. :(

The Shadow Thieves (Cronus Chronicles, #1) by Anne Ursu
^ This is a cool book, like Fablehaven, I'm reading it faithfully.

Things Not Seen (Paperback) by Andrew Clements
^Found this book in my hallway. Read the first page. It's okay. I haven't really made a point to read it, just whenever I'm not doing something interesting I'll pick it up. I vowed never to abandon books, so I'll finish it eventually. Hopefully...

The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold
^ It's currently shelved in our family room and my mom has the weirdo rule, that her books that are in the family room, can't leave the family room, so I'm reading it chapter by chapter whenever I want to sit in the family room for a while...


Looking for Alaska by John Green
^ See abandonment rule above. Oh, gosh I would love to abandon this book. Like now. After the middle, it just goes wayyy downhill. Ugh. I usually love John Green, but this book is hardly bearable.

Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier- Night time book when I'm in the mood for some books from a long while ago.

Harry Potter- For some dimwitted reason I'm rereading the Harry Potter series. I don't know why... I just am. And I can't seem to stop, even though I've read them 39850234908590 times.

Uhhh... I think thats it...

Sorry about the ultra long post, I'm bored. Well, not bored per se, just procrastinating, because of this bio project I should be working on...


message 261: by Jordan (new)

Jordan (flyinglogicmonkey) | 2426 comments Ooh, I read The Shadow Thieves. And taught my siblings the song...Twinkle Twinkle...
Naw, I won't spoil it.

Let's see.

The Count of Monte Cristo.
^This is taking me a long time to read.

The Star of Kazan
^Reading aloud to my siblings. Haven't read aloud since January. Should probably fix that.

Matilda
^Also reading aloud to siblings

The Book Thief
^Read it and loved it. So, I'm planning to reread it.

Ah, yes. I know that one. Except not bio. Which I loved. Yes, I know I'm weird. Did I mention I want to work with genetics? Like I said...weird.

message 269: by Jordan (new)

Jordan (flyinglogicmonkey) | 2426 comments Maybe. Or maybe you're stalkers. Or bears! (See?)

message 281: by ★ Jess (new)

★ Jess  | 4295 comments Mod
I will make a new facebook if im a published author.
Id love to be a published author.
:D


message 282: by Rebekah Faith (new)

Rebekah Faith (musicalradiance) | 6788 comments I would as well, but first I need to actually sit down and write a completely original story of my own- not spin-offs of someone else's work.


message 283: by Rebekah Faith (new)

Rebekah Faith (musicalradiance) | 6788 comments when i do come up with my own ideas, i work on them a little bit, but then i get a case of writers block and i cant write any more on it.


message 284: by Rebekah Faith (new)

Rebekah Faith (musicalradiance) | 6788 comments lolz. i almost wish that was the case with me


message 285: by Rebekah Faith (new)

Rebekah Faith (musicalradiance) | 6788 comments lolz. if only i could commit to a story idea and stick with it. then i would be happy. (and coming up with a completely original idea would be great too)


message 286: by Rebekah Faith (new)

Rebekah Faith (musicalradiance) | 6788 comments that sucks. my stories would end up being really similar to books i've already read and would probably get accused of plagiarism if i tried to publish any books


message 287: by Rebekah Faith (new)

Rebekah Faith (musicalradiance) | 6788 comments i know, isn't it?


message 288: by ★ Jess (new)

★ Jess  | 4295 comments Mod
I have a story, i think its fairly original. Yes, it may be distantly related, but i think its pretty original. If its good? im not sure. Its the first of a trilogy. Each book gets better. The third (i think) is the best


message 289: by Rebekah Faith (new)

Rebekah Faith (musicalradiance) | 6788 comments okay, what's it about?


message 290: by ★ Jess (new)

★ Jess  | 4295 comments Mod
Well, I dont want to go in to too much detail, but its set in modern-day London, and it is about a male detective-Rubarb Stabcar (Weird name, i know-i made it, so dont copy :D ) and he is the 2nd in charge at the a well known police agency. (He also is moody, and a sharp dresser :) )))
He hates his job (seeing dead people every day) and plans to retire after the next case is closed.
But the next case is a string of mysterious disappearances and killings.
He and his assistant try to work out the case, and they find there is a patter to all the attacks.
((((that part is super hard t write, because i need to plan it around all of London, with certain street numbers as well)))
Then they discover whats' really happening, and they need to put a stop too it before it gets out of hand.
It dosent sound that great, but i think its quite interesting. Im not sure if it will be published, but i like it :D


message 291: by Rebekah Faith (new)

Rebekah Faith (musicalradiance) | 6788 comments it sounds kewl.
