*Yawn*

My weekends aren't long enough. The week back from a long vacation feels like an eternity. Doesn't help that along with piles of homework, I stay after school for another 2 and 1/2 hours to help build the set for the upcoming musical. I'm so tired I forget to do the fun stuff that I want to do like finish writing and finish reading The Hunger Games.

Speaking of while I'm on the topic, I am barely finished with The Hunger Games and I already love it so much! It has just everything I love in a book: suspense, action, romance and awesome characters. I hope to get it finished before the movie comes out.

For anyone who has no clue what this book is about, here's a plot synopsis:

In the ruins of a place known as North America, there exists a nation known as Panem. In this country, there is a great Capitol with twelve districts. Previously, there were thirteen but the thirteenth district led a rebellion against the Capitol and was destroyed. As punishment to keep the remaining districts in line, each of the twelve must send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games. The Hunger Games is a great game which pitches the twenty four competitors against each other in a battle of survival (on live TV) where the winner receives glory and fame forever. Our focus is on Katniss Everdeen, a sixteen-year-old girl from District Twelve who takes her sister's place in the games. As the story progresses, we read her struggles of survival in these horrid games and what she deems is right and wrong of her country.

A very suspenseful novel that keeps you wondering what's gonna happen next with characters you get attached to and love. Highly recommend it if you have nothing to read.

Now on top of reading The Hunger Games, I'm also starting to read Fahrenheit 451 for my English class as we begin to focus on Modernism. Hopefully it's as good as it sounds.

I've actually been thinking of a plot for my own original dystopia idea. Maybe after I finish this one story, I can start writing it out. I know it's gonna be a good story.

I may forget to update this blog for a while since starting next weekend the musical director wants people to come in during the weekend for rehearsal for God knows how long. So I will be too tired to remember to do stuff (Hopefully I won't forget any upcoming homework...)

Before I go I thought I'd share this to my manga artists out there. My darling friend Kelly told me to look up a guy named Mark Crilley who is a manga artist and has many videos on Youtube giving out tips on how to draw in the manga/anime style. Here's just one of his videos. Enjoy!

Anime/Manga Club

Weekend's gone which means school's up and running once again.

Went to the mall this weekend with Jamie. We spent most of our time reading manga in Border's where I just so happen to have gotten a nosebleed. It was a bit funny cause my friend came out of the manga section for tissues and when she asked a couple guys for tissues they stared at her for a bit and pointed her towards some napkins. Very funny moment there.

Today being Tuesday, it officially makes it Anime/Manga Club day! It's just full of awesomeness. An entire thirty minutes of lunch devoted to talking to psycho otakus about our favorite anime and manga. Makes one happy Eliza! And the pocky helps the cause as well.

Can't wait for Saturday. That's me and my sister's Techo Twister Shin Dig(name created by some of her friends). True to its name, it's a party with techno music and the game Twister..well Ghetto Twister that is. Instead of using the mat thingamabob, we use colorful electrical tape and tape it to the carpet and the person who's supposed to use the spinner turns evil and doesn't use the spinner and calls out whatever color and body part. It's gonna be crazy cause we got orange as an extra color.

That's it for now, so I'm gonna eat some of my mom's cooking for the first time in a few days and watch some T.V.

Ciao, me lovelies!

XOXO,
Liz

TGIF once again

Weekend start!

My Friday was pretty good. It was club day today at lunch which is a day where all the school clubs are set up at different tables and you sign up for whatever one you want to join. After some roaming, me and my friend Jamie came across an anime and manga club. Of course we had a little spazz attack and signed up for it. This is gonna be great cause I'll meet new people and make a nice load of friends. Anime crazed friends that is which is good. Ah..Happy days oh happy days..

My mom is out at Illinois for a twenty year high school reunion which means me and my sister are with our step dad for the weekend. Today, for dinner he took us out to the mall for fish tacos. As weird as it sounds it's really good..except for Rubio's fish tacos..they're awesome! Next to Chevy's, it's one of the best taco places ever!

I don't think we're doing much this weekend. Just another lazy two day break from school.

XOXO,
Liz
