I have to read more Frank McCourt and E. Lynn Harris, may they both rest in peace. After that sadness, i'll read more House of Night. Cursing teenage vampyres always cheer me up.

Yeah they made a movie out of Twilight and it wasn't that good. o well. Nick and Norahs Infinite playlist is so great! I want to read the book too. I just bought the soundtrack and it's fantastic. I love the part where the gay guys are listening to that song Balls Deep and the girl was like " It sounds fun I know but not all the time. haha its great.

haha um, actually i am. i play piano and drums, and im a music producer.. you can check my stuff out on my page.. its all me. and it would be awesome for you to learn to play something. its not easy but once you learn one instrument you can play them all.. i advise u start with piano.. its pretty easy to learn and its easy if u pay attention to detail.

haha o geez...I can't remember the time I actually read a Young Adult novel.....I do go the library a a lot though so I will look around. I know that book Twilight was a smash hit, and that series ummm the first book is called Crank, I think. Staying current isn't all it's cracked up to be. Living in the states, it's like if you aren't current your going to hell or something. haha.

Black People Rock!
