thank you, elizabeth bennet...... i love that. it sounds so funny. i'm pleased to say that the project has officially come to an end. and i'll miss bloooogging.... so i might keep the blooog. besides.... it gives me somewhere to rant. i always can do with a good rant.
and if the prospect of having a rant place wasn't quite so dear to me, it's always a joy to give alex something to catch up on.
having much fun hating anakin skywalker, poking sticks at um.... dead things..... oh wait it moved *thwack!!!*, attempting to feed darth vader chocolate chip cookies and narrowly avoiding strangulation, and throwing capital letters to the wind. i order you, my reader, to have fun reading about my stuff, or else i shall cry a lot... buckets, i'll drown the world.

close but no cigar......
alright..... got the theme.
i liked the project, but i think that 12 weeks was a tad too long......i think it should be like 8 cos by the time you get to 12, you're feeling uggggh....... that was too long......... i'm not going to miss keeping track of time...... but maybe to get everyone to read, have them set goals like 'okay, i'll read a half hour this week.' and then watch them set those goals and keep them. that would be better than see who reads the most.
my time is too much............. and my books are too many. if i plan to keep this blooooog, that's prolly the first thing that will go, the list of books and the times. :D
otherwise, it was fun. i wish i could read all my books again for the first time..... except for maybe one or two of them.

home stretch!!!!
ugh..... can't remember the theme for the week...... i hate when that happens.
i've got my book for the week!!! it's a nicely pictured book on lady gaga. i'm really excited to read it, even tho i don't listen to her music (or even really like it).
i actually read some more of pride and prejudice today.... it was weird..... i felt all deja vuey. ... cos i read the zombie one recentlyish.
i got excited over the bits that were recognizable. and i still was imaging the play actors having their parts. (i keep expecting mr. collins to be a creeper like joey made him).
i libraried on saturday..... and that's when i remembered that i wanted the lady gaga book. and it was there. and i got it. and it has eyes on it.... which scare me
i also something....... oh yeah..... nope.... lost it.................. ("train of thouggggghtt!!! where are you?????")
oh yeah...... i have an awesome cookbook..... it's the UNOFFICIAL harry potter cookbook. and it has fried tomatoes in it.
i think i'll miss bloooogging...... i shall not be missing the time keeping tho. that's for the birds..... haha...... birds........ :D

:D
today, i think i made alyssa happy....... i read a book that she wanted me to read. and i think i kinda liked it...... i mean i read the entire thing in one day.... that's cause for celebration. i love reading entire books in one day..... that's the best way to take everything in at once..... i did that when i read wanted..... then i couldn't sleep cos it was all sinking into my brain. that's a really bad thing...... when the book is so eventful and weird and crazy, that you can't sleep cos you're thinking about it.
i read a vampire book...... and as much as i hate the blood-suckers, i had to read it, and i was captivated. i barely put it down. i still hate the blood-suckers, but i think mostly the reason that i hate them is cos of the sparkly fairies that make up the twilight series. that's really gonna ruin a species when that evil stephanie meyer massacres them. ugh..... i've never been good with blood tho..... i actually put a book down once cos within the first ten pages was a horrific description of a bloody nose.. ick.

dragons!!!
i love dragons...... they are the kind of creature that i'd have for a pet if only i could.
my book is adorable. i really like the dragon. his name is nonesuch and he shrank. he used to be a big dragon, but when he went to find his grandmother and to hide the treasure close to the center of the earth, something happened and he now shrinks if he doesn't eat.
i want a tiny dragon. i think it would be easier to keep than a ginormous one. and it would eat less...... but then i would have to find some other way of defense against meanies....... ickle dragons aren't up for eating people. :(
the other thing i like is that the dragon's treasure is a book. i love books, so it appeals to me.
it's such a short book, that i'm going to be done with it like ten minutes ago....... okay.... not quite.......... i should be done with it, but i'm not is what i'm trying to say......

theme......
i decided to take a theme out of the most recent (as of right now) book that i have finished. so i'm using the da vinchi code.
i thought that the appropriate theme for the poor albino would be "don't trust the guy who won't tell you his name or show you his face especially if he wants you to kill people."
the theme for robert langdon would be "be careful of knights. cos they are slippery buggers."
yup..... proud of myself for finding a theme....... mayhap i'll find one by thursday for the dragon book.
