RECALL!
I need to take something back that I said earlier! I didn't check all of my posts, and it turns out that I actually have 2 readers! Thanks, Courtney!
Save the Flock, Save the World
Ok, so now I'm really going to post something for today. (Spoiler alert! Do not read unless you have read MR3!!)
I finished MR3 last night! I was sooooooo sad when Ari died!! I always knew that he would be good in the end. But the part about Dr. Martinez being Max's mom kinda surprised me. But I figured that Jeb was her dad. Everything is saying that this is the last book, but it's not. Thanks to all of the clicks on the website (www.maximumride.com) there is going to be a fourth one. But it's probably not coming out until later next year.
In the meantime, I've come up with a summer reading list. Some of them are already out, some are coming out this summer:
An Abundance of Katherines (John Green)
City of Bones
The Truth About Forever (Sarah Dessen)
The Black Tattoo (Sam Enthoven)
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows (duh!!)
Eclipse (Stephenie Meyer)
Bass Ackwards And Belly Up
Pants on Fire (Meg Cabot)
The Dead of Night
A Killing Frost
Darkness Be My Friend (this one and the two above are the 2, 3, and 4th in a series and I can't rember the author's name)
Dracula (Bram Stroker)
And a bunch more, I'm sure. Plus, I have to work a lot on my story too. My dad got all sappy last night and asked me why I never let him read any of the things that I write. I just said that they weren't finished. (which is mostly true anyway) But really, how embarrassing would it be if my dad read how I was writing out the feelings of two characters in love? I guess that I should get over it because he's going to read it anyway if any of them ever get published, but still... I'd much rather wait until that happens. Then I can be bombarded with everyone reading it all at once. Until then, the only people who are allowed to read any of my stories are my two best friends, MM and SW. I hope that they actually start acting like friends and start posting on my blog, or at least start reading my blog!!
BTW: Any Max fans out there need to spread the word that the Max Ride blog has been nominated for the best blog of all time on blogger. We need to vote, people! We need to help the flock!! Oh, and you need to start clicking a massive amount on the max ride website. We're up to over 4 million clicks, but we still need 1 million more to get the message to hollywood that we want max and the gang to be made into movie characters!!!!! (My vote for Iggy is Jason Dolley. I'll try to get a picture of him posted soon!)

PS. What do you think of my new format? I like this better than the pink stuff!

One Reader. I'm going to cry....
I just found out that there is only one person out there in the entire cyber world who is reading my blog. After I take all of that time to post, risking getting detention for posting in class, only one person reads it!
So, thank you, .::NudgeTwin::. (I hope that I got all of the dots right...) for reading this blog!
If anyone decides to read this, you should check out her blog too. It's pretty cool!!!

Pirates, Talking Dogs, and Flying Kids, oh my!!!!!
Ohyeah!! I am gonna have a lot to post about today!! (WARNING: DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVE NOT ALREADY SEEN PIRATES 3 OR READ MORE THAN HALF OF MAX RIDE 3!!!!!!!!!!!)
First off, I just saw Pirates 3 on Monday (memorial day). It rocked!!! I was really worried that it wouldn't be good because the second one sucked, but it was good!! It wasn't as good as the first one, but few sequels ever are, so I guess that compared to some other things, it was great!!! I was really sad about how Will and Elizabeth can only see each other every ten years though. Speaking of Will, did Orly Bloom not look absolutely GORGEOUS when he was suddenly the captain of the Flying Dutchman? With that pirate bandana and outfit? I thought that I was going to faint in the theatre. I kinda got comfused by the whole maelstrom (spelling?) thing though. How did the ships not sink? Oh well. That's just a technicality.
And, the best part, MR3 CAME OUT YESTERDAY!!!!!!!!!!!! I went to a bookstore in town after school to get it!!! I am already half of the way through it. I so knew that Max and Fang would become a couple! It was totally inevitable!!! But I am really pissed that the flock split up. It's become sorta like the battle of the sexes (well, plus Ari on the girls' team). But I think that everything is going to be ok in the end. Fang will come and meet up with the rest of the flock. I hope. (Nah, I already read ahead. The tension is completely gone for me, but I can at least pretend to be excited!)
I g2g. People coming!

Amy Ain't So Bad
Have you seen the Max Ride commercial? I know that I said that I thought that Amy's auditions sucked, but she ROCKED in the commercial! I can't wait until it starts airing on TV. Anyone who hasn't seen it yet should check it out: www.maximumride.com, It should automatically take you to the clip.
Oh, yeah, and I started a new blog. I talked about Twilight so much on here that I decided to start a blog just for it. It's called La Tua Cantante. the URL is www.tuacantante.blogspot.com, I only have one post and no "extras" posted as of right now, but I'm getting there.
The weather is being so bipolar right now. This morning it was raining, then it was warm, then it was just raining again ten minutes ago, and now it's sunny again. Ah, the beauty of living in Montana. You always have to have a sweatshirt and a tank top with you because that's how often the weather changes. But I love it (i'm lying!!!)
I'm pretty bored. I'm at home (no, not at school!!!), posting to cyber people who for some wierd reason actually enjoy reading my blog, and I'm listening to 96.3 the Blaze and 98.7 Star fm back and forth. I really like 96.3 more because it plays nothing but rock. 98.7 plays some rock, but it also plays a lot of rap and I CAN'T STAND RAP!!! So, I switch back and forth.
Speaking of rock and rap, I've never heard a song by the band/ group Gym Class Heroes. Can anyone tell me if they are rap or rock before I go out and buy the CD? I DO NOT want to end up buying a rap CD and have to give it to my sister. Because then she'll listen to it! I'll have to put up with it!!! Yuck!!!
My parents let me skip the first two periods of the day today so that I could sleep in. And yet, I'm still exhausted. I must be getting sick. But I got to miss PE, so that's perfectly ok. And I get to miss it again on Friday because I'm leaving to go see my cousin pitch for her team in the state softball finals. I'm not going to see my school compete, but I'm going to go see my cousin's. My cousin is, like, a locally famous pitcher. She is soooo good. That's one of the reasons that I don't want to play. People will look at her wonderfulness and then at my mediocracy and wonder "where did she miss out in the gene pool?" I know that a girl at my school named K.N. did. I told her who my cousin was and she was shocked. She couldn't believe that I was related to M.H. It was pretty insulting.
Speaking of insulting, do you want to know what bugs me (if you don't, you can go away, because I'm going to say what it is anyway!)? I used to show people pictures of my older sister, right. She's actually my half sister. We have the same mom, but not the same dad. Anyway, I look like my grandma on my mom's side, but I have my dad's eyes and hair. My sister looks almost exactly like my mom. Anyway, I used to show people pictures of her and they would say "Oh, my gosh! Your sister is so pretty! You look NOTHING like her!" What is that supposed to mean? Needless to say, I stopped flaunting pictures of her. But my friends still said that when they met her this fall.
Anyway (man, I love that word!!) I've ranted long enough. I'll probably post again tomorrow on here and on my new blog during computer applications class while we're supposed to be on this stupid career website, so I'll be in touch!!

Acadamia Mania!
Yesterday at our school were the academic awards (sorry I didn't write about them yesterday!) What that basically means for us freshmen is maybe getting 2 awards (which I did for english and high honor roll) and sitting on hard, wooden bleachers for 75 minutes watching all of the seniors and juniors get recognised for their achievements. And remember how I am on the yearbook staff, well, I'm being excused from my computer class to work on the pages for the awards. I don't even have any pictures yet but I have to get the layout all ready and get the awards typed up. It's extremely fun having to write L.M., A.S., and B.P.'s names over and over again.
The only reason that I'm really doing this whole yearbook thing is because it looks good on a college application, and I need every drop of scholarship money I can get if I want to go to Bard. Even so, it's not worth it. This is my first and last year on the yearbook staff.
Anyway, I said that I won an english award, didn't I... yes, I did. I was so happy!! That was the only award that I really really wanted. I am a writer after all. I could have gotten the academic excellence award (the only one in the freshmen class who would have) but I got a B+ in business machines in the first quarter of the school year. I got an A for the semester, but they went by quarters. What jerks!!
I am so glad that it is Friday. I get to go shopping for summer clothes tomorrow! I'm supposed to come in and work on yearbook, but that blows the big one, so I'm skipping and getting some cute skirts instead.
But I'm also going to have to spend time on my slow as molasses computer this weekend too. I have to do research for this teraforming project that we are doing in Earth Science. We have to make a power point project and a report on how we would terraform another planet or moon in our solar system. My group is doing Saturn's satelite, Titan. You wouldn't believe how incredibly boring it is at the moment. But I think that it could be fun. We just have to give it a chance..... (note the sarcasm there, people)
I g2g. I'm going to get carpal tunnel if I keep typing in this every day!!
