I have never heard such LOUD snoring in my life. Even earphones couldn't fix it.<br /><br />AND I THOUGHT YOU WERE SERIOUS FOR A MOMENT BECAUSE IT WOULD BE A PERFECT NAME! so I Googled Godreads, turns out there was no such site.

I should know; I've added some.<br /><br />Yup. People got really excited about it when the trailer was released for the movie or the first book or something. Wanderer was the alien, I think. Don't remember the name of the girl whose body she was in. I think the love interest was...Ian? I do not remember that part. I just remember I was mad at the end when Wanderer was put in a new body, which was lame and clutsy and more stereotypical Meyer.<br /><br />*is uncomfortable with that whole scenario*Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00370486039531015541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-22669813662103252062012-08-30T17:08:50.596-04:002012-08-30T17:08:50.596-04:00"you probably would have squirreled them away..."you probably would have squirreled them away."<br />Yes, I would've. But he only likes those self improvement books filled with inspirational stories (think Chicken Soup for the Soul), or motivational sayings. He is REALLY into motivational sayings lately to the point he keeps Googling "quotes" to print out. And one day I found my dad accidently downloaded one of those disgusting "toolbars" from one the web sites he visited. *sigh*<br />While I am like, "just go to goodreads, daddy! They don't try to make you download a weird toolbar!"<br />And I am like "just because it's a quotation doesn't make it good, PEOPLE SAY BOGUS THINGS YOU KNOW!"<br /><br />I just checked on Goodreads, and apparently The Soul is just a placeholder. So I guess I'm afraid to celebrate until a cover/release date is out.<br />I don't remember the heroine's name nor her love interest. I just remember her traveling through a desert without water and her blacking out. I was so tense at that moment, waiting for her to be saved.<br /><br />I am ambivalent towards math.<br /><br />I have ear phones..THEY DIDN'T COVER HIS LOUD SNORES. I wanted to slap him. Or get someone to kick him out. Why can't he sleep on the ground and not save up two chairs?!?!

I'm guessing not, or you probably would have squirreled them away.<br /><br />Yeah, there's going to be more. I think the next one's called The Soul.

Mayb...Must be the image of the stereotypical nerd.<br /><br />Maybe my dad had very keen book buying foresight? But then again, he has a pile of books in his book cases I saw him order off Amazon...and never read.<br /><br />Despite my displeasure with Twilight, I still stand by The Host and I thought it was a strong story. I have the paperback on my bookcase (I just won it a few months back) that I am planning to reread before the movie. I remember reading it when it first came out..courtesy of my friend who went out and bought the hardcover on its release. I hope I will still like it on a reread and not find out I just had poor taste back then.<br />There's a sequel? forreaaalls? O_O<br /><br />My mom would always quiz me when I was younger. And because I didn't get multiplication tables, I just added them up really fast in the beginning. I got pretty good with that adding business.<br />Fine, you can say two sevens is fifty nine. Or you can go into binary numbers...<br /><br />Oh fudge, there's this homeless guy (I think) that's sitting a few meet away from me on campus AND HE IS SNORING SO LOUDLY. HOW DID HE GET IN?

He ...Hahaha, I totally could have stolen his juice. He was totally malnourished looking.<br /><br />So maybe he was protecting you after all? I totally bought the Twilight books and then had to sell them later, so it happens. To be entirely frank, I do still have my copy of The Host and am kind of excited about the sequel. O_O<br /><br />Super complex and super simple math make NO SENSE to me. Like, I can memorize the multiplication tables and stuff, but we're all really just accepting on faith that two sevens are 14. Sometimes it boggles my mind how arbitrary it is. I learned multiplication and division in first grade! But then I forgot it when I went to public school and had to relearn in 3rd grade.

Of onl..."Argh! It haunts me to this day."<br />Of only you could hunt the one who beat you down...just like I want to hunt down the bully who stole my juice in recess. YAHHHHH!<br /><br />Yes, HOW DARE HE.<br />Then the next time I won a giftcard, I bought New Moon, so maybe that says something about my taste back then.<br />"Also, why does he judge Asian culture so?"<br />Judge? My dad doesn't judge. He is Asian culture.<br />And, he frowns upon the American education system: "you mean you're in 2nd grade and YOU DON'T KNOW MULTIPLICATION TABLES?!? When I was your age in Hong Kong I knew ALL THE MATH!"<br />So I was drilled fractions and multiplication tables at 7 years old. Then algebra at 10.<br />Paid off with As later on, but I was crying when I did get how 8 and 7 could make 56.<br /><br />"I will laugh forever if you win Glitch."<br />I like to think the books I was meant to read I will get my hands on sooner or later.Lilianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11540910005642018594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-22289513052476091242012-08-20T08:29:12.167-04:002012-08-20T08:29:12.167-04:00OF COURSE YOU WILL.

I think I came in second for the number of points and I was so PISSED. I could have read one more book and won. Argh! It haunts me to this day.<br /><br />What the heck? How dare he choose what to buy with the gift card YOU EARNED? I would have yelled at him forever. HOW DARE HE? Also, why does he judge Asian culture so?<br /><br />Whoa. That's way too many things. How did you even find that weird stuff?<br /><br />Right? That's why I scaled back. I went crazy for a while, because I liked getting presents and because I was super jealous of other people's book hauls. I'm a bit better now, though, thankfully.

I will take that as a compliment, thank...Excuse me? I will take that as a compliment, thank you very much.<br />In my defense, it was partially the public library's fault I had to be pretentious. Apparently I read the most books in their summer reading program, and then they told my school...and then the school librarian read off all the names. And then we were asked to go up when our names were called so our 8 year old peers could clap for us. Then all of a sudden I felt the need to uphold my status as class bibliophile.<br /><br />On the plus side, I won a Borders gift card from the summer reading program. I wanted to buy manga, but my dad went and bought books about math claiming that manga was not intelligent (Asian dad!). I did end up reading those books that he bought with my gift card (surprisingly, they weren't too bad), but I was not happy.<br /><br />I used to have at least one package everyday. Everyday was like Christmas, except even better than Christmas because I don't have to deal with ugly sweaters. I won ridiculous stuff I wouldn't even use like garden gloves (I don't even have a garden), photo filters (I don't have an SLR camera anymore), those melty wax things (I don't even have a Scentsy warmer), stuffed animal clothes (WHUT?!?!), and even a baby pillow...all of which I ended up donating.<br />It was like I was entering giveaways just so I can experience the joys of opening a present.<br /><br />But now I'm holding back. "STOP ENTERING THESE RIDICULOUS GIVEAWAYS, YOU DON'T NEED ALL THIS STUFF, LILIAN." But I still have a moderate book giveaway addiction. "OMG, LILIAN, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? WHY ARE YOU ENTERING ALL THESE BOOK GIVEAWAYS FOR BOOKS YOU ARE NOT INTERESTED IN READING? WHAT IN THE WORLD? BOOKS ON GARDENING? YOGA? YOU DON'T DO EITHER OF THOSE THINGS." And I find it ridiculous that I probably spend more time enter giveaways for books I want to read instead of READING (oh the irony!).Lilianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11540910005642018594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-45466650204409196082012-08-19T11:08:16.539-04:002012-08-19T11:08:16.539-04:00Bahahaha, you would.
