Shadowland~

For the past few weeks, I’ve been running around trying to find a newly released book called Shadowland by Alyson Noel… but I have yet to find it… so sad…

It’s the third book to a trilogy called The Immortals. The first two books are Evermore and Blue Moon. They’re pretty good, I think. And I seriously want to buy the last one. *sad*

Evermore: Since a horrible accident claimed the lives of her family, sixteen-year-old Ever can see auras, hear people’’s thoughts, and know a person’’s life story by touch. Going out of her way to shield herself from human contact to suppress her abilities has branded her as a freak at her new high school-but everything changes when she meets Damen Auguste…Ever sees Damen and feels an instant recognition. He is gorgeous, exotic and wealthy, and he holds many secrets. Damen is able to make things appear and disappear, he always seems to know what she’’s thinking-and he’’s the only one who can silence the noise and the random energy in her head. She doesn”t know who he really is-or what he is. Damen equal parts light and darkness, and he belongs to an enchanted new world where no one ever dies.

Blue Moon: Ever can bring her family back from the dead-but only if she’’s willing to sacrifice the guy she loves more than life itself. Just as Ever is learning everything she can about her new abilities as an immortal, initiated into the dark, seductive world by her beloved Damen, something terrible is happening to him. As Ever’’s powers are increasing, Damen’’s are fading-stricken by a mysterious illness that threatens his memory, his identity, his life. Desperate to save him, Ever travels to the mystical dimension of Summerland, uncovering not only the secrets of Damen’’s past-the brutal, tortured history he hoped to keep hidden-but also an ancient text revealing the workings of time. With the approaching blue moon heralding her only window for travel, Ever is forced to decide between turning back the clock and saving her family from the accident that claimed them-or staying in the present and saving Damen, who grows weaker each day…

Shadowland: Ever and Damen have traveled through countless past lives-and fought off the world’s darkest enemies-so they could be together forever. But just when their long-awaited destiny is finally within reach, a powerful curse falls upon Damen…one that could destroy everything. Now a single touch of their hands or a soft brush of their lips could mean sudden death-plunging Damen into the Shadowland. Desperate to break the curse and save Damen, Ever immerses herself in magick-and gets help from an unexpected source…a surfer named Jude. Although she and Jude have only just met, he feels startlingly familiar. Despite her fierce loyalty to Damen, Ever is drawn to Jude, a green-eyed golden boy with magical talents and a mysterious past. She’s always believed Damen to be her soulmate and one true love-and she still believes it to be true. But as Damen pulls away to save them, Ever’s connection with Jude grows stronger-and tests her love for Damen like never before…

Can’t wait to find Shadowland!

Destination NV, H1N1, and Success

Yesterday, was Destination NV at my school. Every year, kids who are graduating from grade 8/9 (depending on the school) and are thinking of going to NV for their high school career, would go to NV with their teachers and then get shown around the school by volunteer tour guides, and informed on a bunch of different courses and programs that NV has. So this year, like last year, I volunteered as a tour guide, and was able to get my middle school as the group I would tour. Being a tour guide, or even any part of Destination NV, you get a free pizza lunch and drinks, and in the end of it all, you get voluteer hours. They used to give out cookies to both the visiting students and the tour guides, but this year, it was just to the visiting students…*sad* the school’s cookies are like the god of cookies! They taste absolutely AMAZING~

Hehee.. okay back to the point… I was able to see my favourite teacher (EVER!!!) and one of my grade eight teachers who was a pretty cool guy. I also got to see some of my friends siblings, and my friends Justin, and a few people who weren’t near the friends catagory… for one, there was a guy that’s my friend’s brother. He’s two years younger than me, and yet he was able to make-fun of me and my friends. Sad. I was bullied by a kid who’s two years younger than me and like five inches shorter… > _ <

In the end, Destination NV was really fun. I heard a lot of stories about my middles school from my old teachers, and my friend Justin, and I even got some cookie~~^^ the things you get from knowing people~

After the awesomeness of Destination NV, I had to go to the doctors and get my H1N1 flu shot. It was fine when the shot was done, but then, hours later, it felt like bricks had been thrown at my shoulder, and I couldn’t move my hand right… I also think the shot either made me WAY more emotional than usual, or I was just shedding none stop tears for no reason. Odd… Plus, today when I woke up, the pain was even worse, but I think it was from both a huge impact to my shoulder from someone running yesterday, plus the shot in the shoulder area that resulted in such pain. I mean, it’s hard to move my shoulder, but I can at least move my hands now… improvement~

Lastly~~ I successfully got a 91.7% on a math quiz. When I saw it, my jaw dropped. My standards had quickly fallen after all those sixties. *still shocked!*

Currently: Doing my math homework, and typing out my history thesis, at alternate times of course… hmm… how much easier life would be if you had like six arms to do different tasks…

Spaghetti arms

I’d talk about how great my day was, but that’s too much to right with one hand. Anyone out there get the H1N1 shot? I got it today and now one of my arms is practically useless. Joy. And my mom expects me to go to piano lessons tommorrow, with my messed up arm. And she says I waste money.

Currently: near tears. me+pain= crying, I think it’s a reflex or something, but it just happens…

This Lullaby

This book I’m reading is addicting. Though I find all books addicting, I know this books will end good cause the authors good~

Math is amazing! I actually understand what we’re doing in there. It’s a miracle!

Tomorrow is Destination NV at my school. It’s a half-day with classes, and then once everyone goes home, kids who’re in grade eight and are thinking of going to NV next year get toured around the school by students like me~ I figure. free pizza lunch, free cookies, and volunteer hours, by showing people around a school that I know practically by heart. Easy job~

Listening to: Hajimete No Koi Ga Owaru Toki by some asian artist… hehehe…

Amazing

I think, for the first time this year, I did well on a math quiz. I actually understood everything… only problem is I didn’t have time for that one last question. There goes five marks. Ah well, I think I did good enough. Watch I’ll say this, and tomorrow when I get the quiz back, it’ll be like 35% again.

On another note, I’m pretty sure my history test went well, because I hardly paused on the questions… hopefully some of them are right.

Question: If a guy asks you to go for pizza with him… what would that mean…? If he doesn’t have many friends, and he asks just you to go… would that mean something, or just nothing? Because it’s just bugging me beyond belief, cause I don’t want to be one of those bums who lead guys on… but I also wouldn’t want to embarass myself if it isn’t anything. So what now?

Two test, One assignment, No sleep

Tonight I have to study for a math quiz, which I will probably do poorly on, since I can’t even understand my homework, and then I have to cram for a history test, which I also won’t do too well on, for I’m no good when it comes to cramming…

On top of that, I have to finish my history notes assignment… thing… and then by the time I understand everything, cram, and then complete all my assignment and homework, it’ll be 6:00 am and I’ll be sleepless.

Currently: Mulling over math homework while reciting facts for history in my head.

Fact of the day: Agnes Macphail was the first femal MP.

Back Pains

Aren’t back pains reserved for people like over the age of thirty…? If so, then I feel old. Today I had too carry home three textbooks, three binders, and like 4 regular books. I felt like I was carrying cement on my back. Totally not fun. When I put my backpack down in my car, before climbing on, I saw a distinct shift of the car bouncing on it’s shocks. How sad, my bag is so heavy it can move my car up and down.

Currently: Math Homework. I got sixty on the last test. I seriously need like an 70 – 80 on the next test or I’m screwed for the rest of the year.

Unknown

Staring down
A whole new path
Where it twists and turns
Keeping me back

Leaving me
In the dust
Watching my chains
Turn to rust

They bind me here
To this small town place
Where everythings cluttered
And I have no space

To think
To breathe
Every moment
I wish I could leave

The people who hate me
So I can be alone
Where I can go where Iwant
In this world unknown

I’m Just Beige

I’m just beige. Boring. Normal. I tune out the rest of the world with music, I ignore everyone through reading, I hide away in my room every night doing homework, I write as I please and then scrap the idea ten seconds later. I have no significant quality that can amaze people, enthrall them, or even to relate to them. I spend more time in my room than I do anywhere else. I spend more time doing homework then hanging with my friends. I have no social life, and yet here I am, alive, well and sane. How does that work?

Normal people go insane from spending too much time on their own. They start talking to themselves and then they get kicked to the asylum and then forgotten. I guess I would count as forgotten. In my house, my door never open, no one bothers me. Ever. I could be screaming and I would never be heard. It’s just the way my life works, the way it always have. I’ve always lived up to my parents expectations. Doing well in school, never doing drugs, all the junk. And yet their star child is my sister who gets the most attention of everyone. The only time I get some kind of attention is if I do badly in school. I guess it’s reflexive for me to try to do my best in school, and maybe that’s why I shy away from too much attention. I wear black 24/7 to blend into the background, and yet half the time, I’m trying to be heard, by my peers or by my family. Forgotten. That’s the word for me.

pH and Careers Searching

Five assignments/projects due Friday. I think these teachers are trying to find ways to torture kids, or fail them all at least. Three of these assignments are from Science and the other two are from Careers. Haven’t they heard of the saying “Everything in moderation” !?!

No. They have to stack as many assignments on you as they possibly can and wait for you to tip over and fall.

Currently: Working on pH Science assignment.
