Book 4 - Animal Farm

Yes, I did just read it for the 3rd time (Ms Smart will be happy XD)
I had to find quotes for the essay, and that required me re-re-reading it!

so

Book Number: 4
Book Title: Animal Farm
Page Number: 95
Page Subtotal: 447

I still have the same opinion, only I'm getting a little annoyed with it!!!

Book 3 - The Bad Beginning

Childrens' book? Yes I know. Doesn't stop me from reading it though!

Book Number: 3
Book Title: Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events Book the First: The Bad Beginning
Page Number: 162
Page Subtotal: 352

I have read this before so I suppose that's cheating, but there aren't many books I own that I haven't read, so get used to it! XD
It is a book intended for pre-teens (i.e. my maturity level!). The story is about 3 children who find that their parents have been killed in a fire that destroyed their entire home. They are told by their parent's executor of estate who coughs a lot that they are to live with their closest relative; either their 3rd cousin 4 times removed or 4th cousin 3 times removed. Geographically though, he was just down the road. Here they are forced to do a great number of chores for Count Olaf and by the end of the story, Olaf tries to marry Violet (The eldest, she is 14, Klaus is 12 and Sunny is so small she is scarecely larger than a loaf of Bread) so that as her husband, he can assume control of the enormous fortune their parents left them. She discovers his plan and signs the marriage certificate with her left hand (she is right handed) and it is null and void. They are removed from his care.

In it's category, it is about an 8.5 out of 10. Obviously, I have read some more complex and...adult books...like the Tomorrow Series, there is a lot more blood and guts in those!! XD

Toodles!

oh! seeing as I have reduced the total/goal, it seems my countdown has significantly reduced!!!

Quote of the Day

I meant to include this with the other one...

Mr Wagner: So we have an x value...lets call it x
Tianna: duh, sir
Mr Wagner: now we have a y value, what will we call it?
Tianna: *sounding cocky* should we call it y?
Mr Wagner: No, it's called the function of x [as in f(x)]
Tianna: *feeling dejected turns to erin* I could have sworn you would call the y value y if the x value is called x
Erin: *reels over with laughter*

Stress management Session

Mari: Now, you can make these bad thoughts into musical thoughts
Tianna: *raises eyebrow*
Mari: for example *to tune of Happy Birthday* I'm gonna fail the maths test, I'm gonna fail the maths test, I'm gonna fail the maths test tomorrow, I'm gonna fail the maths test
Tianna: *laughs, then glances at erin*
Erin: *reels over with laughter*

Gabe: *Runs into wall* I so did not see that coming
Tianna: what, the wall that's been there the whole time?

Moving on...

I'm in a surprisingly good mood today.
Surprising considering my antelope had galloped away for a day,
Surprising considering I had a physics testy thing
Surprising considering Mr Wagner spent 30 minutes explaining to us something that got us the answer we started with...like long division, just a long way to do something quick
Surprising considering I have work tonight

Why was today good?

Because I decided I have changed/am changing/will change
Because I finished SOR
Because I understood Physics (for the first time EVER)
Because I sat in Admin doing nothing, and not stressing at all
Because I only partially yelled at Mr Wagner, and he didn't care anyway (he yelled back lol)
Because I ate cake, and a chicken burger
Because I have more people coming to my event (New Moon!!!)
Because I had a good day

I hope it stays good!

I'm not a quitter, or a cheater

So I'm going to do neither.

I am not going to quit. I am not going to cheat.
I am going to change the rules so I don't have to cheat or quit!!!

I have decided that after long hard thinking and contemplation at the busyness of my life that 20,000 pages is quite a lot to read. Quite impossible to read.
That would be averaging 50 pages a day, and I have hardly read 50 pages in the last 3 weeks.

Needless to say, I'm not going to make it.

So the rules are changes!
I am going to reduce my endevour to 15,000 pages. This is still averaging 40 pages a day, so it's still an awful lot!

Sorry if y'all are disappointes, deal with it! XD

And I thought today was bad...

It would seem that next week will be worse...

Look out on the 9th! I think bad mood will be an understatement!

lol intellectual -70% that is so true!

Why?

I think the main reason I don't tell you things straight away is that I really don't like drawing attention to myself. I didn't realise till today, but I really am a secretive person...I don't tell many people very much at all... I guess I am afraid that if you know too much about me, if you know me, or if you realise certain parts of me, you won't want to hang around.

Sometimes I feel that I am too broken, too beyond repair, that there is no point saying anything, because the only thing it will do is make you worse, not me better.
So I choose not to tell.
I will eventually tell you, in most cases, but I wait until it no longer hurts, so that you don't hurt.
You have enough to be getting on with without worrying about me.
I am well equipt to dealing with things, because I am a private person, so sometimes it's best not saying anything.

But it doens't mean I love you any less. It doesn't mean I don't trust you, or value your friendship.
Quite the opposite really.

I just don't like to air my dirty laundry in public, as they say.

So, I think you were the only one who heard earlier today, but the wedding was two or three weeks ago. No, I wasn't invited, but despite what I have said in this post, it didn't hurt. To be honest, I didn't really care, He can do what he likes as far as I'm concerned.
He lost his right to me caring a LONG time ago.
