AGE vs. QUALITY

Rant-fest (on why I'm not going to read ONLY classics no matter what my parents say) follows. All caps. It's awful. You've been warned.

♫Music

As I said in my previous post ("Life and Music"), I love music. Honestly though, I have really weird tastes in music. Lyrics are, in my opinion, the most important parts of songs, but I won't listen to a song that sounds horrible just because it's meaningful. I also take serious offense when a singer doesn't write his/her own music.

Life and Music

"Some people have lives; some people have music." --John Green, Will Grayson, Will Grayson 

Human existence can be plotted on a simple Venn Diagram.

A SEQUEL!!!! :D

This isn't actually a book review. It's more of a... well not warning...

Essentially, I went to the library and now I have FOLLOWING CHRISTOPHER CREED by Carol Plum-Ucci, which is the sequel to THE BODY OF CHRISTOPHER CREED which was awesome! So I read The Body of Christopher Creed when I was in 6th grade, I think, and it has remained in my mind as a totally awesome novel that really should be more conclusive BECAUSE SHE DIDN'T TELL US WHAT HAPPENED TO CHRIS, DAMMIT! D': And really I was very sad when the mystery wasn't solved because it made me wonder, and when I wonder, I wonder for hours, and when I do that, I basically sit on my bed staring into space for hours and neglect my homework. And then I stay up until 2 a.m. scrambling to finish (I usually don't), and I practically fall asleep at my dance lessons at the end of the week. And then I get 90s instead of 100s, and then my grade goes down and I'm thinking "oh my God, I should really stop this". (And all this ultimately deteriorates my capabilities to utilize the English language and so I sit here composing long run-on and usually unintelligible sentences.)

So I am EXTREMELY excited to read Following Christopher Creed because hopefully, it will answer all my questions from the previous book and be just as amazing. <3
