I just had the best day ever.
So I'm studding right now to be a teacher, today I had my first observation. My teacher came in and watched me teach a lesson. It when how I expected, I need a Lot more practice but I know that. After that I went out to a great lunch, and then the library. I picked up to books, the second and third of the Mercy Thompson Series by Patricia Briggs, great series.
Then I left to go to my college. I called my dad as a walked into Circle K to buy some ice tea, to tell him that I got the books. He told that Michael Grant was coming to Changing Hand Bookshop, a great book store that I had only heard of.
Now I LOVE Michael Grant, He is the author of the Gone Series, one of my top three series currently. So I excited asked my dad when he was going to be there. And then my day went bad for about 2 seconds, my dad said "Tonight". I was SO mad, I was screaming at him, how could he tell me that now, why would he tell me that when he knew I had school form 5pm to 930pm so I could never go.
It took me a few seconds to realise, I only had school from 5pm to 7pm tonight, because my second class was canceled. I still had the problem of the event starting at 7pm, but luckily my school was only about 20 minutes away from eh book store. Right after class I ran to my car and drove as fast as I legally could, (speeding scares me <.<). I got to the store at 725pm, I was expecting a crowed, because ITS MICHAEL GRANT. The store was almost empty, so I walked to the back, and found a group of about six people, an awesome employee Robin and Micheal Grant sitting on chairs just chatting. I quickly just sat down on a chair, and joined the conversation.
BEST TIME EVER. Found out Gone is being made into a movie possibly last time I heard anything about it Grant said it was practically impossible for that to happen. I learned a lot about some other random book stuff which was awesome. Michael Grant is amazing, he is really interesting and friendly.
I won a contest for an ARC copy of a book he co wrote with his wife, called Eve and Adam. It doesn't come out tell October. The first chapter is amazing, I don't think I'm going to be sleeping tonight.
OH Fear the next book in the Gone Series comes out in less then a week (six days). Cant wait to get my hand on this book.
The only problem I have now is, to many books to read, but luckily I ready fast.
Also Changing Hand book store is fantastic.
Currently Reading Eve and Adam

Sick and Happy
So today I woke up sick, I'm on antibiotics so I was feeling weak and tired. I stayed in bed tell one, and then got up in my PJ's and went on to my laptop. checking my email i found an email from my public library that said the copy of shade I requested was now available.
A few months ago i put another book on hold. Bloodlines the first book in the new Vampire Academy companion series. I have been waiting for this book since Vampire Academy ended over a year ago. Bloodlines came out yesterday, and i have no money so I put it on hold, lucky me i was the second person in line waiting for it. I thought that the library would take a while to get their copy's of the book, but after my email about Shade I decided to check my library account online and just see if I had any other holds available. I had just a fleeting hope that Bloodlines would be around and the email was taking a little longer.
Two holds, I had two holds and one look at the titles had me jumping right off the couch and running to my room to get dressed. I was in the car with in 5 minutes of finding out, and I couldn't stop grinning.
Now I have a copy of Bloodlines in my hands, I'm SO EXCITED. I love books so much. A book healed me, i was feeling awful and now I feel amazing jittery and hyper. I wish I knew people who read the books I do but most people I know either don't read or just don't have the same taste as me.
I cant wait to start reading but to be fair I'm in the middle of reading Raised by Wolves, which so far is a great book that I highly recommend. I want to finish that one before I start reading but I will make sure I finish it by tonight and i will probably start reading Bloodlines tonight too.

Hello
Hello to no one.
This blog is for me. I tend to ramble about things that excite me, the problem is that no one wants to listen or knows what I’m talking about. Its fine because I just need to get the words out into the world, doesn’t matter if anyone hears.
I get this feeling of gushing when I read a good book, see a good movie or TV show, even hear a good story joke or riddle. I’m generally a very quiet person.
My number one thing right now, books. I’ve always been a huge book worm; I was even president of my middle school book club before I moved. In the last 2 years though I’ve been very busy with school and leisure reading got pushed back to the bottom of my list. The last 3 months I have been out of school and I will be out of school for the rest of the year. Ever since I’ve been out I have been absorbing books. I really mean absorbing; I read books in half a day. In the last 3 months I have gone through 10 different series up to the last book out.
My favorite Genre in books, I really like rebellion books, so dysfunctional society being rebelled against. Those are my favorite in any form, I not really sure if this is a real genre. I currently like supernatural teenage fiction, so YA fiction. My obsession right now is, The Mortal Instruments and The Infernal Devises, Series' by Cassandra Clare. Those books are amazing, I really love a lot. I also enjoy the Darkest Powers series by Kelley Armstrong.
I will watch anything. Any movie, TV show, play and I will enjoy them all. Most of my favorite movies have a rotten rating on Rotten Tomatoes. I have really bad tastes in entertainment apparently.
Music is amazing, I love it allot all kinds, except most screamo. Every day I take a at least 1 thirty minute walk a day, not to exercise or lose weight (though I could use it) but to listen to my mp3 player and work out plot lines in my head. My brain likes to work in stories.
