Not scared Anymore

So my teacher didn't do anything and the class was very fun. I'm a little calmer now. Yes, I know that I'm paranoid but this teacher gives me the creeps. He's the kind of teacher that would put 1+1 on a Calculus final. Everyone would assume that it's a trick question and no one would actually write 2 as the answer and everyone will fail. He's not a math teacher though. Anyway, today was a good day so I'm happy. I got an A- on a paper so I'm actually really happy.

I'm scared

My World Literature teacher didn't give me homework today...


Yeah, most people wouldn't be bothered by this statement but he's the kind of teacher who is always planning something. Call me paranoid or whatever but if you knew him...

Even worse, it's parent's day tomorrow. That means that everyone's parents will be in the class. He already plans on giving us our essays back (I know I failed and I won't be able to hide it from my mom!!!) What other torture does he have planned????? I'll post with an update tomorrow. If I don't post it's because my mother has killed me in an attempt to save the family name. Of course, why does she need me... My sister is enough.


Wish me luck. *Tentative smile before dissolving into tears*

Double, double, toil and trouble.

We're reading MacBeth in class and I have to say that it can be really boring or really interesting. The story itself is pretty weird but my favorite far in the whole thing is the witches' incantations at the beginning of Act 4. Many famous lines come from this part for instance: Double double toil and trouble/ Fire burn and cauldron bubble. Also, shortly following this part is the even more famous line: By the pricking of my thumbs/ Something wicked this way comes.
Anyway, this whole scene is pretty awesome if you just imagine three crazy witches surrounding a bubbling cauldron a putting all the stuff that they mention in, for instance:
Scale of dragon, tooth of wolf
Witches' mummy, maw and gulf
Of the ravined salt-sea shark
Root of hemlock digged i'th' dark
Liver of blaspheming Jew
Gall of goat and slips of yew


Don't know what he's saying either but it sounds pretty cool.

Excuses, excuses

Two posts in one night!!! Wow!!!! Anyway, this post is here to explain why I kind of stopped posting.
Reason 1: Summer vacation started and I do my best not to think during summer vacation. 
Reason 2: Ran out of ideas temporarily. 
Reason 3: I just started at a new school and am a thousand times busier than I was at my last school. 
Reason 4: Unlike at my last school, here I have a slight glimmer of what could be considered a life (if you twist the situation a lot)

Anyway, the reason I posted tonight was because I read a really cool book and none of my friends are nerdy enough to actually want to get into it with me. So, to let my feelings out, I'm blabbing on a blog that no one will ever actually read so whatever. 

My excuses suck and I can't promise that I will keep it up but if I have any new ideas I'll post them.

TH1RTEEN R3ASONS WHY

I just finished reading this book, literally about 5 minutes ago. My heart is still thumping and I have a twisty feeling in my stomach. I don't know whether it's guilt or fear or something else completely. Anyway, I just have to say that this book is extremely powerful and extremely scary because it makes you think about whether you might be on someone else's list. Is there something that you inadvertently did or said that snowballed into something terrible? Is someone around you going through the same thing? Are you the one failing to reach out and help? The way it's told is so powerful because it sounds so real and if you can just place yourself into Clay's shoes you feel every emotion he feels. It's also the kind of book that once you pick up, you can't put it down regardless of what you want. Even if you are forced to put it down, you will be yearning to know what happens next for the whole time that you are not reading. It's so suspenseful that even now, after I'm done, I still feel the need to know what will happen next. I won't say anything else in case someone else wants to read the book. Oh, and don't take this as a way to scare people away from the book. The reason we read books is to awaken things in us that real life on it's own cannot. The reason many people believe that their lives would not make good books is because they wouldn't to that person. To someone else, your life may seem incredibly interesting. Anyway, my point is, though it may have seemed like some of my comments were negative, this is actually supposed to be a glowing recommendation for this book. Everyone should read it. It mostly seems like a girly book but I think that even guys could greatly enjoy this book. So that's it.

It's Thursday.

It's been a while since I last posted. I will tell you what is going on. I have had like three new ideas for stories but they all fell flat on their faces and died so I won't even share them. What I will share is my new obsession with a new series.
Learn this because you life may depend on it someday: I get strange obsessions from time to time.
Anyway, my newest obsession is about a book called Thirst no1. There's also Thirst no2, Thirst no3 and Thirst no4. Anyway, it's about a vampire but it's not like all the contemporary vampire stories that are circulating. It's way better, way cooler and the author, Christopher Pike, actually knows what he is talking about. Read it.
