What I Think

Movie of the Week

 This week I saw the movie "In your eyes" on Netflix. It's about this girl and guy who could not be more different. Becky (the girl) is in her mid-twenties, lives in New Hampshire, married to a guy maybe nine or ten years older and in her college years she went insane when her mother died and was put in a mental hospital for three months. Dylan (the guy) is also in his mid-twenties, lives in New Mexico, is single and living alone in a trailer in the middle of nowhere, and spent two years in prison for taking things that weren't his. One day they realize for some odd reason they have this psychic connection where they can hear each other, see what the other person is seeing, and smell what the other is smelling. I wasn't falling asleep through it but still if you ask me there were parts where they could of amped up some of the action and the romance. Wasn't the most exciting, wasn't the most action packed, and it wasn't even the most romantic but it teaches you that you're never alone, that even when it feels like you've been backed into a corner someone's been there huddled up right beside you holding your hand even if it took you a few minutes to see them through the tears.

 Book of the Week

So I just read this book that's been on my goodreads list for forever. It's called "The Word Changers" and I was really excited about reading it. I read the summary and it sounded like an awesome book and the cover was really cool. Read summary bellow.

A world she had only ever dreamed about would open her eyes to a world she never knew.Her parents' marriage is falling apart. Fifteen-year-old Posy feels her life is falling apart with it. Posy retreats to an old library down the street, where she selects a mysterious book in a secluded corner and is magically drawn into its story.Posy finds herself in a kingdom ruled by a cruel and manipulative king and queen who have attempted to usurp the role that belongs only to the Author of their story. With the princess having fled and the kingdom teetering toward rebellion, Posy is joined by Prince Kyran as they fight against their slavery to the Plot.Posy and the prince search beyond the borders of the story for the runaway princess. They encounter mysterious places, horrifying monsters, and fierce battles. They make both friends and enemies as their journey leads them into many dangers. But some of the worst dangers, Posy soon finds, lie deep within her own heart. Will she be able to find the courage and forgiveness needed, not only to save the story, but to heal the heartache she knew in her own world?

Sounds good, right? Wrong! It bored me to tears. The plot was so awesome but somehow it was just boring, not enough romance, action, family, friendship, etc. All the things a book needs! I mean the book had that stuff but in my opinion, it seemed rushed. For example, the prince falls for Posy and in the middle of the book he comes out and says he loves her. What's wrong with that you ask? Well he hardly knew her! They were rushing the story line so fast the only things Posy and the prince really talked about was the upcoming revolution he was starting and how to find his sister. But, hey that's just my opinion. Check it out and see if you agree or disagree. Don't be afraid to comment, I can take it! :) 

 Song of the Week

I just found this totally awesome, awe inspiring, heartwarming song that totally will bring out the nostalgia in you. It's called "Where Are You Now" by "The Honor Society". I seriously felt tears in my eyes just listening to it. It really made me think about things. Like my kindergarten crush who I thought I was going to have a billion babies with. My friend Natalie I thought was going to be my best friends always. Mrs. Wentz, the first teacher I had who made me really want to learn. This Tom Higgenson  is super talented with words. I can really see him going somewhere. I mean, I don't think he should go solo or anything but you know how bands are. They stay together for a while and all's it takes is one falling out and one guy to leave the band and everything falls apart. But seriously if you love awesome nostalgic music check this song out!:)

You'll never believe what I did at lunch today. Okay so the day started off like any other school day, stand in the cold freezing my ass off at my bus stop. When I got to first period ( child development) I was partnered up with some freshman, who was nice enough, but you know that awkward moment when you exchange names with someone you've never met? Well the whole class was like that, us awkwardly trying figure out what to do for our project. What can I say sometimes people just click and have that natural spark where you feel like you can say anything to that person and they won't care and some people don't. We didn't. In next class ( academic support) I just sat there and read this awesome book I rented from the public library called "What the Spell?". Truthfully it really sucks that Brooklyn ( main character) thinks to be "somebody" she has be part of  a group of snobby, rich, brats who think they need to cheat their way to the top. And their way of showing her they were her "friends" they BLACKMAILED HER! I mean you think once someone did something like that to you, you'd figure out that person's not your friend but NOPE! I've gotta say I kind of love and hate Brooklyn at the same time, I mean she can be as annoying as this snobby girl in my history class. Anyway you should check it out, it's an awesome book! Gotta jet, a gordita supreme is calling my name. Till' next time.














See ya,
