On another note, I got rid of my blog ‘fronttocoverbooksreviews’ ’cause the name was bugging me. However, I didn’t know that I could have easily changed the url, so I painstakingly transferred every post, which took me, like, five hours, and caused a crink in my neck. That was stupid, wouldn’t you agree? Anyways, now it’s: covertocoverbookreviews.wordpress.com and that makes more sense to me than ‘front to cover’… Anyways, that was my day wasted (I woke up late, so sue me).

I started reading L.A. Weatherly’s series ‘Angel’ and I’m addicted. I was up ’til four in the morning trying to finish it… I didn’t… but I was hooked, though it’s not hard to get me hooked at this point. I liked the varying perspectives in the novel, that was cool. It was mainly first person to the main character Willow, but it often switched to third person for Raziel (there’s always got to be an angel with this name in all the books… Important guy, wasn’t he?), Jonah, and Alex. The concept itself in pretty cool, where the angels aren’t God sent, but instead are selfish and feed off human auras/energy. There’s also a lot of romance, and a lot of ‘You’re so beautiful <3′ s being said by Alex (which kind of bugs me, for some reason) and if I hear ‘I’m sorry’ ‘No, I’m sorry’ again, I might bite the pages… but it’s pretty cool otherwise /mushyjunkmakesmewanttopuke.

I want to go buy another box of nerds… I’m so addicted to candy, haha~

Anyways my legs are killing me, so I’m going to go drop dead for the night. I’ll leave you with this video of MBLAQ’s new song: It’s War. Though I don’t really listen to them, I thought that this video and song were pretty awesome, hehe~ Enjoy (:

Currently: Tired and re-reading bits of Vampire Academy ’cause I just bought the sig edition, haha /loser.

Reading: Vamp Academy, but officially, I’m still in the middle of Angel. I haven’t gotten back to it since 4 this morning…

Listening to: It’s War – MBLAQ

Anyways. Writer’s Craft is on Monday, and then I’ll be free for the rest of the week x) can’t wait

Yesterday, after I got back from my Calc exam, I read ‘Die for me’ by Amy Plum. It’s her premiere novel, and I’ve gotta say, it was pretty good, haha. Some sexy sounding guys, who are ‘gentlemen’ in the sense that they hold their girl’s stuff, they open their doors, they don’t live for sex, it’s refreshing, even though it’s not real… But yeah, I finished it in four hours. I give it 4.5/5 ’cause it’s a cool concept too: revenants. So these people if they die for someone else out of the goodness of their heart, they come back to life and are immortal if they continue to die for other people. They can grow old if they resist their natural urge to do so, however, since there is that instinct, they tend not to. But yeah. There’s that creepiness, plus a love story, and some head chopping. It was good (: haha

So at this point, I’ve been accepted to three of my four choices (I haven’t gotten response from my number one choice yet…) But yeah, fingers crossed ~~

Currently: Typing up my notes for Writer’s (yes there are notes)

Reading: My notes on Marxism

Listening to: Disaster – Jojo

Reblogged from Plus Ultra:

It feels uniquely satisfying, escaping the suburbs and slipping anonymously into the Toronto subway. Three dollar tokens, worn red seats and newspapers strewn on the floor, the trains are a time capsule from the seventies. I am meeting up with my cousin Christina, a born and bred Torontonian and my guide for the afternoon. At Bathurst station the cold becomes apparent as I step outside, waiting by the throng of bicycles underneath its concrete canopy. Our rendezvous is the Annex, a hip, bohemian …

Love exploring Toronto, even though I’ve lived here all my life, it’s always changing ;o

Okay. First off, no, I’m not the most religious person on the planet but this. THIS spoken word poem. That is what I believe in. I think religious people are idiots, but I still believe that there is a heaven, there is a hell, there is some other thing out there after death. However, these religion crazed people are so insane, I just can’t bring myself to be one of them. I say grace, I pray every now and then, I even know parts of the bible by heart, but I’m not going to be that person preaching to the world that God is king. Jesus rules all. This guy, he’s legit and his poem is even better. Take a look (you don’t gotta believe to watch, just saying).

Been watching this over and over, not just ’cause it’s clever and it’s true, but I’m trying to prep my piece for writer’s fest (IT’S TOO SHORT …)

Currently: watching the video again

Reading: Across the Universe by Beth Revis

Listening to: a really good spoken word poem.

Anyways ~ It’s crunch time at school. Just finished off my physics essay + creative piece. I was actually pretty proud of it, and I guess that I should be, I invested a lot of time into that.. This week is literally crunch time though: Monday I’ve got a Calculus test (the last one x.x and my mark right now is 64… math.. so NOT my forte) and a Physics quiz (which shouldn’t be TOO bad), then Wednesday is the Writer’s Fest (I’m actually looking forward to it now (shocker, I know) but my issue is still inviting people… two people, I had that in the bag. He raised it to four now and I’m struggling.. sad eh?), Friday I MIGHT have a physics quiz, but I’m not sure… then the week after, exams start.

Wed 25th : English and Physics
Thurs 26th: Calculus
Mon 30th: Writer’s Craft

I hate that Physics and Calculus is like BANG -sleep- BANG -dead- like why do they need to cram it like that.  Spread it out for student convenience /complaints.

Ergh. You know what’s been bugging me for the past like two months. I have a crush on the dude again and it’s starting to irk me. HE DOESN’T EVEN GOT TO MY SCHOOL ANYMORE and yet my minds always like -him- and JHDSKJDHKSHD shoot me..

I’m making a mask for writer’s… it looks relatively nice at the moment, haha…

Currently: Going to go to sleep
