This blog post is sort of unorganized and haphazard. ^_^

            Good evening!  I hope it's going very well!  So far, my day has been pretty good (and if it gets even better, I'll have an A in physics by tomorrow).  So, I feel like writing about my day. :-)
            Yesterday/early this morning Lexie and I stayed up late to watch The Breakfast Club.  Now, I'd heard very good things about this from every child of the 80s, and the previews for it that I saw on other 80's movies seemed pretty good.  I expected to love it, so I was disappointed.  It was actually kind of disturbing, even if the ending was... kind of... happy.  I don't recommend it if you don't like swearing, violence, sexual things, or talking about really bad family lives.  Because of all of that stuff, I couldn't like it more than I dislike it, even though I did have to rewind it to watch some hilarious parts again.  So, after we finished watching that, we watched danisnotonfire on YouTube for a couple of hours and laughed even more.  I love my sister.  We finally went to bed, and Lexie was asleep in two seconds flat. 
             This morning I woke up and I made myself breakfast (toast with butter and honey) and surfed the web, as per usual Sunday procedure.  I was supposed to go to my UU church today, since the teen groups are starting on a long-term service project, and I really want to start going.  My girl scout leader is in charge of it, so I can some badge-y stuff for doing it too!  And service hours!  Woohoo! (Oh! And my girl scout troop went to see Legally Brunette on Friday and then a sleepover, watching Sydney White and Letters to Juliet! ... Fun stuff!) I really miss all of the people from that church, too. 
            My parents got home from church, and my dad and I went to go shopping.  We got groceries and such, and that was surprisingly fun. :-) It's not all that often that I go places just with my dad, and he's funny even when he doesn't mean to be.  And we went to Barnes and Noble.  I always get a gift card for a book store for Christmas, and I figured I needed to spend last year's before I got a new one.  I meant to buy Sammy Keyes and the Wedding Crasher, Sammy Keyes and the Night of Skulls, and Crossed (so excited to read!), but I ended up finding some other books that I've been wanting for even longer.  So, I bought Life As We Knew It by Susan Beth Pfeffer (I've been following her blog for a little while), Will Grayson, Will Grayson by John Green and David Levithan, and An Abundance of Katherines by John Green.  I also pre-ordered The Fault In Our Stars by John Green, which I'm super excited foooor!! X)  I think John Green is my favorite author, though there are so many that are way up on the list too.  This makes me think that I like authors that I follow more... I would never have thought of John Green as being so fantastic if I didn't follow Vlogbrothers so religiously.
            SO, finally, the point of this whole post that I made to myself all the way up there at line one... books are great.  And so are authors, and people who read books, and people who buy books, and people who help you buy books, and people who go with you to buy books, and more of the sort.  Books join so many people,  places, and things together.  I had a random thought before I started writing this that I could see myself someday having the hobby of going in to bookstores to buy a book every week.  I could just look at all of the different books for hours, and talk to people about books...
            Now, the point as to why I don't do this.... I really should be getting back to my homework!
            And another point I realized.... I really really love my family.  Super love.  They're amazing. ^_^       
             And now, a random list of other things that I don't want to forget that I've done, since I suck at writing in my journal: End of marching band, won 3rd place (woot woot, first in percussion); Celtic Thunder on Nov. 2nd; Eva is leaving on her mission very soon!
            Y'all should seriously check out Vlogbrothers if you haven't already.  :-)  It's pretty awesome.

            And also, please, everyone, be safe.  Be loving.  Be brilliant.  Be wonderful.  Peace and love to Collin Worland and his loved ones and Jaxen Henderson and her loved ones. 

            DFTBA!
