(This is from the 19th of this month. Therefore, this Monday.)

Okay, so my mom supposedly unplugged the entire internet connection. I guess she thinks she's supercool now. >_> (Hate to burst her bubble, but ...) Ah~. It really is almost ten. I thought she was exaggerating again; she tends to claim it's ten when it's really only nine-thirty or something like that. Ah well. That's pretty okay.

Earlier today, I went to the library and checked out eight books: Ultra Maniac #1 and #2, The Boyfriend List, another of E. Lockheart's books, a book on drawing manga (I really only picked it out to learn how to CG properly; haven't quite looked into that yet), The Perks of Being a Wallflower, TTFN, and TTYL. Those last two had better be good books, or .. I swear. -_-;

Oh~ Vivian. Instead of doing next lesson's Bio outline, you know what you can do? Make a China outline. Or help me on all of my mini-essays. And Rae, I'll just trade outlines w/ you. XD If you have a China outline as well, let me know. @bothofyou - BUT THEY HAVE TO BE TYPED. NO EXCEPTIONS.

I've finished 13 books of my 50-book-challenge list. o_o; That's not very good, honestly. I want to be done with a lot more than I have right now. I was expecting around 20 finished by now, to tell you the truth. (I will beat Vivian, I swear, I will.) Oh, and for any people that would like to join us on this superb task: let me know. Let's keep tabs on what books we read, when we read them, etc., yes?

I really want to buy the following books: New Moon (Stephanie Meyer), Lost (Gregory Maguire), and Lolita (Vladimir Nabokov) [Yes, I do know that my mom has banned me from this book. Yes, I still want to read it. Yes, it's mainly because she has banned me from it that I want to read it someday].

Anyone have any good book recommendations? I know I must have asked this already, but still. I honestly want to know. I'm pretty sure Viv recommended Maximum Ride by someone or other to me. But do the rest of you have any others? (Jenn, I already added your Notebook and Guardian.) Diana, for instance? You have pretty good taste, dearie.

Blah. I wanna go online. It seems as if I've typed up rather a lot regarding books. XD Ooh, since my birthday's coming up (next month's close, sure), I'm going to include my wishlist in descending order of priority: new iPod (30, 60, or 80gb, Video only), Howl's Moving Castle DVD, Spirited Away DVD, Final Fantasy III for DS, Twilight (Stephanie Meyer novel), Katharine McPhee, True Reflections (Steven Cravis CD), Wicked: Piano/Vocal Arrangement, any Steven Cravis piano music sheets
