<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I can't believe I'm a Junior now. This school year was full of ups and downs, stressful schoolwork, and a lot of learning for me as a person. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have good news! I made section leader in band! I am so excited! I also get to play the piccolo, which I am very excited for. I've never played the piccolo before, but I can't wait to practice. I know being put in this leadership role will help me a lot as a person. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm also learning how to drive. I have my level 1 license, but I haven't had a lot of time to practise... hopefully I will practise more this summer. I need a LOT of practise...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One thing that I really missed was photography. During the school year, it was really hard for me to do photography, and my creativity was really blocked. I hope to catch up on photography this summer! I keep saying that I will practice portrait photography, but I'm introverted and I'm always nervous about asking to photography people, but hopefully this summer I will actually DO IT! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I took these photos in my backyard. It was so nice to have that "creative release". </span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I also hope to start writing more prose and poetry soon. School just leaves me with little time! :c</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But this summer, I will practice more flue & piano too hopefully, study for the ACTs (so time consuming!!!), read (a lot books are on my to-read list!) and photography. I will hopefully also go record shopping and downtown A2. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm still alive, I swear! See? Proof. But I haven't forgotten about you guys. It's just that between school, homework, band, reading books, watching movies, driver's ed, studying, tumblr... Blogger just seems at the bottom of my priority list, you know? But I'll try to start posting here more, okay? </span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I can't wait for it to be summer already because 1) I'm going to Vans Warped Tour this year and 2) my boyfriend may possibly be visiting. We just need to figure out where he's going to stay and hopefully our parent can talk and figure it out soon and 3) School drains all my time and creativity from me so when summer comes, I can't wait to start doing photography again, for the inspiration to come back to me. I also haven't had a lot of time to write lately... I have an idea for a short story though, inspired by the earlier works of J.D. Salinger, so when I have time, I'm going to start working on that...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Two weeks ago, we had a benefit concert at our school for Ozone house, and I was able to get a few pictures... (I feel so bad leaving my darling camera on my shelf and not using it at all during the school year. I can't wait for summer. Hopefully, I'll work up the courage to asking a few people at school to model for me so I can practise portrait photography more.)</span></div>

O<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">n Friday, I went on my first drive for driver's ed.

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: 'courier new';">My weekend was so perfect. Friday I went to a Holiday party with my parents and Sophia at U of M. It was for the athletic department and it really was a lot of fun! There was great food, dancing, prizes ~ lots of cool people and just a lot of fun overall! That day was my birthday and on that day, me and my friend Alison (who's birthday is after mine) got matching candle headbands and birthday sashes and it was great. In the morning, a random choir kid sang happy birthday to me, as did my entire Bio Class, my lunch table, and my friend Olivia. At lunch, Tory made us all individual cupcakes (each different flavours customed to our likings) and me and Alison both got HUMONGOUS cupcakes. Afterwards, she gave me part 1 of 2 of my birthday presents. A Black Flag shirt! :D </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Then Saturday, Alison's 16th b-day party. It was so much fun! We arrived at the hotel at 4pm and then waited for the limo to arrive. It was a white limo, and of course me and Tory <i>had </i> to listen to Foo Fighter's White Limo while we were in the white limo because hey, it's a once in a lifetime thing you know? c: We went to the mall for a fun scavenger hunt and even though we didn't win, it was a lot of fun. Afterwards we went back to the hotel for food and played Just Dance. :D</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">TODAY. Oh my word. So today was MY birthday party. We went to this great 80s arcade named Pinball Pete's and had a blast. My cake (a Rise Against cake by <a href="http://www.facebook.com/ticktockcakery">Tick Tock Cakery</a>) was PERFECTION and I almost didn't want to eat it because it was just so perfect. It was great just being able to spend time with all of my friends. </span></div>

Just <a href="http://amzn.com/w/92N7O70L1A3S">a list of books</a> that I want to read. It's not the entire list (the list is over 50 books I'm sure). But yeah I just wanted to share my book list with you guys.<br />
<br />
In the future, I want a huge library in my house, much like in Beauty & the Beast.<br />

That is all.<br />

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have been less inclined about posting personal posts / posts about my life lately, but just know that I've been extremely happy lately, and it's all because of one person. Someone that I'm incredibly grateful for. And though I'm young, and this may sound rather cheesy and silly of me, but he's my best friend and I can honestly see a future with him. And I'm not going to say anything more because I could just drone on and on about him. Just know that he makes me so happy, like nothing I've ever felt before.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My birthday is in 10 days. Turning 16 on December 16th and I absolutely can't wait! It's not going to be a huge party full of people who I don't know. Just my closest friends. We're going to an arcade in downtown Ann Arbor, and it's going to be a lot of fun. Memorable. I'd rather have a small, intimate party with a few close friends than a huge, forgettable party with people I don't care about. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tory<strike> my best friend</strike> sister apparently got me something super awesome. And he got all my other friends in on it too, including my boyfriend (whom I mentioned above) and I'm basically the only person who doesn't know what it is. Supposedly I'm going to "freak out" when I find out what it is, and that "I'd never think of it." God, I love my friends so much. I have the greatest friends and boyfriend in the whole wide world. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Also, I'm getting a custom Rise Against cake! :D </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm so excited!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Uh yeah, that's pretty much all I wanted to say :3</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm sorry for not keeping up with this blog lately. I still haven't forgotten you guys! You all should follow my tumblr if you wish to keep more in contact with me. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Love yous,</span><br />

I know I haven't updated this blog in forever and I'm so so so sorry. I haven't been blogging a lot on here lately, and it's because I've been so busy and I'm too lazy to blog about my life because you guys really don't want to hear me ramble on about my life, right? So here are some photos I took to make up for it. Okay? :D<br /><br /> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-EOjAiRnnioo/Ts8RfoRnYkI/AAAAAAAACFs/ao396GRV_dk/s1600/IMG_1522.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-EOjAiRnnioo/Ts8RfoRnYkI/AAAAAAAACFs/ao396GRV_dk/s400/IMG_1522.JPG" width="400" /></a><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I adore Autumn. It has to be my favourite season, though where I live, it seems rather short because Winters here are so incredibly long. I love so many things about autumn.

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Hello boys and girls. I feel like I'm writing to no one, since no one ever comments anymore. I have a feeling everyone is on Tumblr. I'm sorry I haven't written in over 2 weeks. It's simply horrid. And even if no one reads my blog anymore, I will still do posts for my own documentation.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">A lot of things happened in the two weeks. First was I went to my first concert last Monday (9/19). 'twas a Foo Fighters concert that Rise Against was opening. As many of you know, Rise Against is my favourite band. It was great seeing them live. They played Audience of One, Savior, Prayer of the Refugee, Help Is On the Way, Satellite, Give It All, Ready to Fall, and Make It Stop (September's Children.) I wish they would've had their own show instead of opening, but Foo Fighters is a great band and though me and Tory didn't have floor seats, it was still amazing amazing amazing. I love it. Foo Fighters played a lot of songs. These Days, The Pretenders, Monkey Wrench, Arlandria... a lot of songs. We had to leave before they played Everlong though so we could get home at at least 1am. :P Live music is beautiful. <b>It's a wonderful moment when people come together for music.</b></span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Bright Eyes came here during the summertime, but I didn't have money. D: adslasdfasd it would have been so great to see them live. I hope Rise comes to Michigan to do their own show soon. It was like 3 years since they'd come back, so of course there were a bunch of Rise fans at that concert.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Last week was homecoming week and oh man, was it busy. We had to do float building and the theme was Disney. Being the President of 2014 I of course had to help our. We did Finding Nemo, and though I wanted to do Lion King - it came out pretty well and I think we should have won at least 2nd instead of 3rd. :p The homecoming game was SO INTENSE man. We kept winning and then during the last few minutes, the other team scored by one point and then when it was down to a few seconds, we won points back. SO GREAT. Best homecoming ever. I didn't go to the dance this year, but I stayed in and tumbled all day and had a jam session to myself. <strike>Homecoming is for people who have lives.</strike> Sorry but I just don't find grinding up on people to horrible music appealing.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Our last marching season show is coming up and it's the senior show. We're playing Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen, You Give Love a Bad Name by Bon Jovi and Holiday by Green Day. It's going to be great.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Also, my new iPod - a 7th generation 160 gig classic aldskjfalsdfas so excited - should be here soon.

So pissed. </strike>aldkjfasdf So currently a 3.567gpa when it should be higher. alkjdfaldsasfd But I'm not going to freak out about my grade like last year, every time that it slips a little because what can I do about it? It is what it is. Plus, my teachers don't really offer any extra credit this year. I can just hope to get 1/2 for turning the 2 point assignment in late, and for everything to balance out once we get more assignments.</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Sorry I haven't been blogging. School (and my new job) leaves me with barely any time for anything, and I found out that my mom found me another job (for the weekends, since I only babysit weekdays) and I can make about $400 / month, and add the $200 from the babysitting, and that's $600. But on top of homework and band, I don't know if I can do it, but I'll try and if it gets in the way of my academics then I'll have to drop the weekend job. (My mom's friend at the weekend market she works at - she sells jewelry, accessories and art - is pregnant and needs someone to kind of help her now that she can't do a lot of things.)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">First week of school - over with. I like all my teachers. They're all nice and I think that if I really really focus, then I should be able to get all A's again this year. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Classes I'm taking this year:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Chemistry</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Honours Bio</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Accelerated American Lit.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Symphonic Band</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">French I</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Algebra II</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I have friends in all my classes except for Alg. II but I think I'll be fine.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I'm <i>so </i>tired. We had a game today and it was raining the whole time so all of our music and instruments got wet.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I really want my next post to be a prose or poetry piece.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I feel like no one reads my blog anymore. No one comments ever. D: Not like before.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 29px;"><b><br />
</b></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Last weekend was incredibly busy and exhausting and I'm so relieved it's over. Let me tell you about it. Well Friday morning at 9am I had to go to sophomore orientation. I really should have gone <i>later </i>that day because when me and my friends got there, the place was brimming with phonies and people who I dislike. Our whole school district is being renovated so we had to have it at the middle school, which sucks because I really wanted to find where my classes and locker is. Doesn't matter that this is my second year at the high school, the place is huge and most of my classes last year were on the other side of the building. So I feel really bad for the Freshmen who don't even get to see where their classes are.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">After that, I had to go to the high school at 4:30pm because our varsity football team had their first game that day. We - the marching band (and the very best part of the game ;D) - performed our show (which was relatively short) and it was great. The best part, actually, was that WE ACTUALLY WON. 27 - 0. Which everyone was siked over because in actuality, our football team SUUUUUUCKS. Like, last year we didn't win a single game. So of course it's great that we won the first game of the season! We have a tradition where if we win, then the marching band gets to wear our hats on backwards. I just know it's going to be a great season now. And after <i>that</i>, we went home and some of us went to a bonfire at a fellow bandmate's house. I wish more people came - most probably went home and slept after all that exhaustion - but those who did go were super cool (we have some great Freshmen this year) - and it was a lot of fun.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Yesterday, I went to a carwash to raise money for my band student account (we're going to Disneyworld this year for our band trip). It was really fun. We made $720 total that day.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">So yes, it was a very exhausting weekend. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">This weekend will be a <i>little </i>bit better but it will still be busy. September 1st the band leadership has to play something for the staff meeting, then I have to help at the U of M concessions. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Then the week after that, school starts. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Marching band just brings a whole lot of craziness and busyness to your life. It's a wonder how I survive with me being as lazy as I am.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Oh oh oh! I also forgot to tell you guys something! I got a job! Just a babysitting job, but still... it's fort the whole school year and I'll be able to make around $200 per month. alsdjaflsdfd I'm so excited! Maybe I'll be able to buy myself a new iPod before my birthday. Brb making a list of things I want to buy when I start earning money. xD Mostly band merch and books and camera stuff.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">So yeah, that's it for now.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Toodleloo!</span><br />

</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">School starts in less than two weeks and I have mixed feelings about it. Though I'm not too excited about all the work and having to see all the typical high schoolers that I would rather not see, I guess I kind of want school to start just so I can take my mind off things. Just so I can do my homework and go on robot-girl mode and just not have to think about anything. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I don't know. This summer holiday went by so quickly I don't even remember anything, although looking back, I wish I'd done more than just loiter around the house on tumblr, etc. That's why I want to go back to school. Just so I feel like I'm doing something <i>productive</i>. This summer has been... rather <i>angsty </i>for me. It has been a summer of a lot of ups and downs and mood swings and I have no idea why. My parents have been pissing me off more than usual this summer. It's really odd. There are some moments where I feel like I could cry forever if I could, but I haven't had a good cry in ages. I feel like that is what I need. A good cry, and then I wouldn't feel like shit all the time. And nothing even happened. I can't tell if I'm just going through a rebelling, angsty teenage phase or if I'm actually depressed.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I also need to be a better daughter and help out around the house a lot more often.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Anyway, I'm sorry for blabbing but I just had to vent. <strike>Me and my first world problems.</strike> There are kids starving around the world and here I am whining and such. I'm such a horrible person.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Tomorrow is going to be busy day. From 9:00am-11:30 I have to go to sophomore orientation and then I have to be at the school at 4:30pm for band rehearsal and then to prepare for the football game, which will most likely end at 10pm.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">And alas! Marching season begins.</span><br />

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Today I went to the waterpark with my mom and Sophia. It was actually a lot of fun. It's the first time that I went swimming or anything of the sorts all summer. Now I'm thinking maybe I should have gone with them each time they went to the waterpark or went swimming. It's already starting to get cooler now.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I came home from band camp last Friday. WAH. So much work. Even more work than last year. I swear, if anyone tries to tell me that band couldn't be considered a sport, I'd have to fight back the urges to punch them. We have to learn some newer drills that we didn't learn last year, but aside from all the hard work, it was a lot of fun. I met some pretty cool freshmen. It's going to be a cool show, and a great marching season. We're going to be playing the songs Dynamite, Forget You, Respect, Life Is a Highway, and Jump In the Line (Shake Senora). I don't like the songs much, but I don't like most mainstream songs that play on the radio. Even so, we'll make it cool because I have great faith in our band. These people are like family. Here are some pictures for ya!</span></span><br />

This summer I've read Looking by Alaska by John Green, Catcher In the Rye by J.D. Salinger, some Chuck Palahniuk novels, a Frank Sinatra biography, an Audrey Hepburn biography, and several other books. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The following books I got from the library today:</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"></div><ul><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Tell-All by Chuck Palahniuk</span></li>

<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">On the Road by Jack Kerouac</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">1984 by George Orwell</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">a Dean Martin biography</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters and Seymour, An Introduction by J.D. Salinger</span></li>
</ul><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I wanted to get several more books being the dork that I am - I even made a long list of books that I want to read - but I guess I'll save them for some other trips to the library. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">What's the best book <i>you've </i>read this summer?</span></b></div><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I've been really enjoying the twisted style of Chuck Palahniuk lately, and I've been dying to read more of Kurt Vonnegut's work, as well as David Levithan and John Green's books.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So much reading has kept the gears in my mind spinning, and hopefully I'll be able to write more. As you see, I've been writing a lot of short prose lately, but I can't seem to sit down and write a novel. I started writing a novel once, that I started in 5th grade. I enjoy had several English teachers look over it occasionally, but the longer I got into the book, the more I realised that I started writing it with no structured plot in mind and the conflict within the novel made little sense at all.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I've been trying to think of a plot structure/conflict that I can use to start writing another book, but nothing seems to be working right now. Hopefully by reading, some inspiration comes to mind. An epiphany, hopefully.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I will be going to band camp on Monday, for a week. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Then school starts in September. I'll tell you more about camp, and my class schedule soon.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Much love,</span><br />
