BOOKS

Note: all new edits and whatnot will be added at the bottom, in case you’re looking.

So, I’m new to this whole “wordpress.com” business (as i’m sure it is painfully obvious to you veterans out there).
and i have NO IDEA what this whole “page” thing means.
it told me that i’m supposed to tell y’all where i’m coming from.
the problem with that is…i don’t KNOW where i’m coming from.
i mean, i do…but not in any concrete way.
i know where i am, literally. and i know mostly where i am mentally.
but all you really need to know is that i’m a teenager.
an older teenager, but the word “teen” is still in my age when i give it to people.
but i’m just going to tell it to you straight.
i read more books than most people will read in their lifetime.
so i think that gives me a pretty good basis for telling the world my opinions on these books.

i don’t update regularly, and there may be long stretches where i forget i even have this.
i’m busy, and i may not have time.
but i love writing. and i love reading, so i’m never going to run out of things to write.
however, you are free to get bored of me as you please.

my goal is to just get my thoughts out of my mind and into the internet so that they’re not all stuffed up in my head, confusing me.
writing helps me clear my mind of clutter, so thats probably why i babble so much.
see? look at that? i just figured out the reason for why i can’t stop writing.
or at least the most prominent reason.
or maybe not. i have no clue.

hm. i kind of like these pages.
i have no idea what i’ll write in them.
maybe book ideas?
did i tell you guys that i’m trying to break into the literature market?
so i might run by you some new book ideas.
who knows.
maybe i’ll just use them for my incessant babble.
god knows i have enough of it.

anyway. i really don’t know why you’re reading this.
i haven’t said anything really sensical.
…thats a word now (even if it was to begin with)

note: i enjoy comments. i enjoy getting in touch with people.
and if you ever feel anything, even anger, about my posts…
tell me about it.
my email is: oreoclara@hotmail.com
my AIM is: DerangedHippo13

if you feel i’m wrong, right, sick, dumb, fantastic, wonderful, stupid, awesome, bright, funny, or you just like to talk a lot….comment a post.
i am not writing this for you…but sometimes i like to know that people out there understand and accept what i’m telling them.
people don’t seem to talk to each other anymore.
so lets start talking.

EDIT: July 25, 2008.
Earlier today I posted a blog called “Oh Yeah? Maybe I WANT to Judge a Book by its Cover!”
and somewhere in the post i mentioned this whole coin theory of mine, and i promised to explain it better in here.
so here we go.
PENNIES: i think pennies are the most arrogant of the four coins in my theory. They think they’re just OH SO GREAT because even though we don’t LIKE them, we still NEED them because every time we have to get change, it always comes out to be just a few cents over a nickel or a dime or a quarter. its always $0.28, its never just an even quarter or anything. so that just feeds this huge ego that pennies have. plus its the fact that they’re copper-colored while all the other ones are silver. they think they’re just oh so special. pennies aggravate me, if you can’t tell.
NICKELS: Nickels are just really not the brightest stars in the sky. i apologize to any nickel fans out there, but while they are endearing, they are not really that useful. i mean, it takes 20 of ‘em to make a dollar, and when you’ve got that many its so hard to hold ‘em all at the same time, and they’re so much heavier than the other versions of the dollar (10 dimes, 4 quarters) that its just a nuisance. i mean, really, nickels are much better than pennies…but i just use them when i absolutely have to, or if i want exact change. i don’t say HEY LETS PAY IN NICKELS TODAY!
DIMES: Dimes are by far my favorite coin. They’re so unassuming and they seem so shy to me. its like “oh, yeah, i’m a dime. Wait, what? really? i’m worth 10 whole cents? no, that can’t be right. You sure you’re not thinking of a nickel? no? well, i mean, i guess so…” dimes are very humble, because they’re worth a lot, even though they’re the smallest.
QUARTERS: I have trouble nailing a personality down to the quarters. To me, i always see them as kind of like benevolent royalty. like, they know how much they’re worth, and the power they therefore have, but they don’t try to use it against anyone, they try to help, rather than hurt (as the pennies try to do by sheer numbers, jerks.)

so there you have it, folks. theres my crazy coin theory.
now i may be nuts…but tell me you haven’t gotten the evil vibe from the pennies.
they’re out to get us, i swear.
