Tori doesn't really see what's so great about this Glee. And she is a bit disappointed in the I Am Number Four movie, for the main character TOTALLY does not look as though he is sixteen, but more of 19, 18, 17, or 20. She believes that it depends on the angle you look at the actor.

K.C. Neal (kcneal) | 31 comments Kate hands Tori a tissue and pats her shoulder. "We are like a little town!" she says.

Kate always gets a little nervous when a good book gets made into a movie. She's always afraid the result won't be so great and then the movie will pollute the memory of the book in her mind.

Camilla (camillaisloved) | 177 comments Camilla wants to know other's thoughts on Beastly and Red Riding Hood...what they think of those books being made into movies.

Tori understands Kat's nervousness and agrees on her point of view at books-turning-into-movies.

In addition, Tori is shy to say that she did not read either books! Yet she is excited for Red Riding Hood and will read the book Beastly before watching the movie.

I think Red Riding Hood looks really good in a strange sort of way. Kind of weird but interesting.

Patti says.

Camilla (camillaisloved) | 177 comments Camilla loves the save by Patti. Camilla has read RRH and really likes the book. She wonders if anyone noticed that the RRH director is the same Catherine Hardwick that directed Twilight. Interesting. And Camilla plans to read Beastly after seening the movie this weekend! She just cannot wait!

Tori glances over on Patti's post. Eyes suspicious, she carefully examines it.
"Nice save, pat, but don't forget the quotation marks next time." She mumbles to herself, leaning back in her chair with her arms crossed over her chest.
Yes, nice save indeed...

Tori noticed that the movie had to somehow had to be related to twilight because of the atmosphere. It seemed similar to her.

Patti posts to tell Tori to stop talking to her computer, and that she hates the little thingy above the post that says it's been edited.

Patti ordered a cheap copy of RRH from amazon. The downside is that the expected delivery date is March 22. But she also got books from eBay, too!

Wake (Dream Catcher, #1) by Lisa McMann Balefire (Balefire, #1-4) by Cate Tiernan Cleopatra's Daughter by Michelle Moran The Heretic Queen by Michelle Moran At the Sign of the Sugared Plum by Mary Hooper The Dead-Tossed Waves (The Forest of Hands and Teeth, #2) by Carrie Ryan

Patti is going to reread The Sugared Plum one. She read it at the library and loved it!


message 159: by Amber L. (new)

Amber L. (amberlinn) Amberlinn thinks Tori is very funny and gave that Patti had saved herself. Amberlinn has been very busy and making desisions very quickly. Amberlinn has had no time for anything lately. She is very upset and wants to punch a baby. Amberlinn doesnt want to wait 3 more years to graduate from high school. Amberlinn wants to leave now!
"RIGHT NOW!" Amberliin yells, wishing she lived in a dream. "Sorry guys. Im just go;ing through so much. How was your guys weeks?" Amberlinn says, putting a thin mint girl scout cookie in her mouth.


message 160: by K.C. (new)

K.C. Neal (kcneal) | 31 comments "Sorry you're so frustrated, Amberlinn!" Kate says. She remembers being in high school and wanting to punch babies, too. But she refrained. Because babies can't defend themselves. Kate advises Amberlinn to punch an adult, and then RUN!


message 161: by Camilla (new)

Camilla (camillaisloved) | 177 comments Camilla thinks that Amberlinn should punch the fake babies at the school. If she has those. The ones that kids have to take hope and pretend to be a parent? She thinks that is as close as Amberlinn will get to punching babies.

Camilla had literally laughed at what Tori posted! Really!? She talked to her computer!? Camilla cracks up again! "Bahahaha!"

"Psh. Who doesn't talk to inanimate objects? The computer is basically my virtual book, so it's all-good," She says to everyone. Punching babies...alright, I can see that, she nods to herself, musing the comment over. If the baby barfs and pees all over Amberlinn then Tori could definitely see a punch being thrown out. She shrugged. The kid had it coming to him at least.

Anyways, Tori wants to let everyone know that there is indeed a poll for this month's read up and that everyone should vote.
"Vote peoplez! Stay in school!"
....Wait. Why did I say that last part...? Ah, oh well. You can't take back what's already been said.


message 163: by Camilla (new)

Camilla (camillaisloved) | 177 comments Camilla's grandmother curses at inanimate objects! It's quite funny! Camilla laughes at Tori's post about babies and them having it coming! "Bahaha!"

Camilla will vote as she laughes at Tori. No, not AT Tori, but at what she said. ;D


message 164: by Alice (new)

Alice (aliciairene) Alice smiles at the last couple of posts.
She is thinking of going in a road trip with her best friends- who live in USA- across the country and then to Canada after they graduate. She is excited though she knows there's a big chance it may not happen.


message 165: by Camilla (new)

Camilla (camillaisloved) | 177 comments Camilla thinks that is SO exciting! She had plans to visit friends in Europe, but things happen and she didn't get the chance. :D She will one day. Camilla wonders where Alice will be going. All the tourist cities? Or a random trip?


message 166: by Alice (new)

Alice (aliciairene) ''A friend lives in Cali, so my other friend-lives in Florida- and I, we'll have to fly there and from there we'll figure it out. We want to reach until Vancouver. It's still subjective.'' She shrugs. They're gonna plan it out this summer, face-to-face.
Alice is trying hard not to think of it, sometimes when you thing something's going to happen it doesn't.


message 167: by Camilla (last edited Mar 03, 2011 08:31PM) (new)

Camilla (camillaisloved) | 177 comments Camilla knows exactly how Alice feels. She thinks it will be a great trip. "Good luck with everything!" Mmmmm...Reese's! Camilla doesn't know what she added that little random tid in there. She just saw a Reese's sitting on her nightstand!


message 168: by Amber L. (new)

Amber L. (amberlinn) Amberlinn wouldn't punch a real baby but she did laugh at you guys. "Your so funny! Thanks for cheering me up. My mom called me a bitch yesterday and expected me to do HER dishes and HER laundry after calling me that." Amberlinn shakes her head and wishes she still had her baby dolls. "I will be called anything you want to call me BUT a bitch. It just inst right and I dont like it. When I go to my moms house, shes taking my phone and computer and nook and tv and ipod and everything from me. If I dont speak for awhile, im dead. Im going to stay at my dads until sunday, go to my grandmas for as long as I can and then hang at my friend katrinas.. I cant go home.." Amberlinn feels like her heart was ripped out.

Amberlinn is happy for Alice. She hopes that Alice will like the U.S and enjoys it if she goes.

P.S. "Anyone got a fake baby I can punch?" Amberlinn smiles.


message 169: by Alice (new)

Alice (aliciairene) Alice does like US, it's quite different from Panamá. I hope I'll go this summer, too.
Oh, she just saw Black Swan, and thought it was awesome. Natalie Portman is such a great actress.

PS. ''I have a few unwanted fake babies.'' Alice offers with a smile. ''Want them?''


message 170: by Amber L. (new)

Amber L. (amberlinn) "hahha! I would love them!" Amberlinn says, laughing really hardly.

Amberlinn has not seen Black Swan but wants to really badly.. Shes pretty mad that she hasnt seen it yet..


message 171: by Camilla (new)

Camilla (camillaisloved) | 177 comments Camilla has also not seen Black Swan yet. So Amberlinn is not alone. And speaking of Amberlinn, Camilla wants her to know that she has been in a situation like the one Amberlinn is (was?) in. "Hang in there deary. I hope things right themselves! Remember, we here at goodreads, are always here for you! (when you can get online!)"

Camilla's has come to the amazing conclusion that she is over the weather here in Indiana! She is wanting to visit family in South Carolina and see how life is down there! Maybe she'll move.


message 172: by K.C. (new)

K.C. Neal (kcneal) | 31 comments Kate is totally dying to see black swan, too. She loves to check this thread because it makes her laugh to see ppl posting in 3rd person. She thinks it just never gets old.

"The weather is so wishy washy over here! We had a couple days of really nice almost summer-like weather then we got snow! I'm ready for spring!" Says patti


message 174: by Alice (new)

Alice (aliciairene) Alice watched Black Swan. Not at all what she expected, and not to ruin it to you guys, but she wouldn't watch it with her parents. R- rated all the way. She loved Natalie Portman in the movie, though, she was amazing.

To another topic that had kept Alice very sad these days is that apparently her Last Sacrifice book may be lying in a dump. She had lend it to a friend, trusting her with the book. Long story short, the book was taken away by her friend's maid. The maid is crazy, she literally dumped all her books away. No warnings. LS is missing.


message 175: by Camilla (new)

Camilla (camillaisloved) | 177 comments Camilla's heart goes out to Alice!!! She cannot even fathom what must be going through Alice's head! **Pouty face**

"It's raining here....which means spring...which means..." Tori does not finish her sentence for she is staring blissfully out into the rain. It always calms her, almost as if it's cleansing her. The other reason she doesn't finish is because she knows all too well what comes next....Track. This year is going to be the death of her, she just knows it.


message 177: by Amber L. (new)

Amber L. (amberlinn) Amberlinn is doing ok. She wants to move in with her dad but her mother says no.
Amberlinn is also VERY sad that Alice doesnt have LS anymore. "I havent read it. Im reading the 5th one right now and cant wait to get that one. I think you should tell me what happens. I must know!!" Amberlinn wishes you luck with finding it or getting a new one.

"Its raining here too. I like it when I have a chance to enough it. Right now, I just have too much going through my mind." Amberlinn sighs, wishing she could go to her room and be left alone for the next 3 years. She mentally bangs her head against the table. "That's better." she smiles to herself.

"How was your guys' week?" Amberlinn asks, trying to think of a way to get her mom to agree to let her go live with her father..


message 178: by Camilla (new)

Camilla (camillaisloved) | 177 comments Camilla smiles at the little at what Amberlinn writes. She feels like her head has been banged into the desk. Camilla crosses her fingers and won't uncross them until Amberlinn gets to live with her father.

"My week has been a bit of a busy one. My nook doesn't seem to like ARCs!" Camilla rolls her eyes and deadpans, "Fun!"

Yesterday was her nephew's first birthday but the party was today. Camilla had a blast watching that little guy play in the little ball pit that he got.


message 179: by Alice (new)

Alice (aliciairene) ''Hmm. It's been a good week, despite the nature disasters that's been going on. I got a good grade on my English exam, and Last Sarifice is found. So yay!'' Alice smiles.
She hopes Amberlinn gets to live with her father if that's what she wants.

Now Alice is attempting to watch some Cary Grant's movies.


message 180: by Camilla (new)

Camilla (camillaisloved) | 177 comments CAMILLA LOVES CARRY GRANT MOVIES!!!! Camilla is not freaking out and hyperventalating off into the corner of the room. As the person typing this, it's a known fact that she loves him!

Also, Camilla is SO HAPPY that Alice found Last Sacrifice! She now does a fist pump.


message 181: by Amber L. (new)

Amber L. (amberlinn) Amberlinn is so happy that Alice found LS.


message 182: by Camilla (new)

Camilla (camillaisloved) | 177 comments Camilla got the library job!!!!!! :D She is super excited and thinks that getting paid to be around books all day is just great! Of course she realizes that she will be doing other things than just standing in the stacks and looking at the books. :D "YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"YAYYYYYYYYYYYY CAMILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Tori shouts.

As a change of topic she wonders if anyone hasn't heard of the Tsunami in Japan???


message 184: by Amber L. (new)

Amber L. (amberlinn) Amberlinn so smiling from ear to ear for Camilla. She is ssooo happy that she spends her days with books that she loves.

As for Japan, Amberlinn is ssoo sad! Those poor poor people. "That stupid nuclear reactor thing is whats going to be the end of ALL of Japan. They can't stop it so they think burying it will help. Everyone is going to die of radiation!" Amberlinn yells, wishing that this is pay back from Mother Earth...


message 185: by Alice (new)

Alice (aliciairene) ''YAYYY!!!'' Alice is so glad you got the job! She cracked at Camilla's Cary Grant comment.

It is so sad what's happening in Japan. Alice is terrified about the nuclear plants. Some exploded and now the risk of radiation. And not to be a pessimist, but what if it reaches us and... we all die?


message 186: by Patti, The Reader (new)

Patti | 327 comments Mod
Patti thinks on what Alice said. "hopefully it stays in japan." But she also is concerned for the people there. A girl from her school recently returned home to japan and another has family there. She cant imagine being in their shoes right now.

Patti congratulates Camilla! She also warns her to remember the library creeper!


message 187: by Camilla (new)

Camilla (camillaisloved) | 177 comments Camilla's prayers have been going up to the Big One about Japan and her people! 18,000+ have been found dead already! She can't imagine what they must be going through!

And Camilla laughed out loud at Patti's comment! "I haven't seen that creeper yet, but he is not the only one out there. He is, however, the youngest so far!" Bahaha! Camilla has her work cut out for her.


message 188: by Alice (new)

Alice (aliciairene) Alice laughs.
She's been having driving lessons, which are so far, quite easy. Hopefully, she'll be driving around to bookstores when she gets her license.


message 189: by Camilla (new)

Camilla (camillaisloved) | 177 comments Ha! The BEST reason to get a license! It's the only reason Camilla got hers! :D


message 190: by Patti, The Reader (new)

Patti | 327 comments Mod
True true. Once her license is firmly in her hand, the first thing she'll be doing is driving to Borders or Barnes and Noble! Patti tells Alice good luck!

Tori believes in a world full of peace. But, since that will never happen, she settles into the next best thing...THE END OF ALL MATHMATICAL COMMUNULATIVE REVIEWS!!!!!!!!! Ahh~ She loves that peaceful sound~

Patti is very upset with her school right now. The school is closing down the library and the librarian is getting fired. Patti asks, "what is a school without a library?"


message 193: by Camilla (new)

Tori wonders why the librarian was fired. Don't catholic schools believe in scholarships by using library resources???? Yes, she wonders this indeed.


message 195: by Patti, The Reader (new)

Patti | 327 comments Mod
Patti honestly has no idea. She is just furious. Her school is thinking of turning it into a chapel…she get's it (not really) but doesn't understand why the library had to go!

Tori laughs, saying that Cassidy is welcome to join this chat!
She just finished book one of her summer homework and is practically the walking dead.


message 200: by Camilla (new)

Camilla (camillaisloved) | 177 comments Camilla laughes at Tori's latest post. Camilla is BACK btw! She has finished working her summer job and now can focus on her library job. And of course, get to reading again! To meet her goal, Camilla must read 18 books a month starting today! Oh, boy! Camilla thinks this should be fun! :D
