| So, I can't sleep. So you get another crazy early morning entry. I know, don't try to hide your excitment. You know what I realized? When i say you...I mean everyone, but technically I'm talking to no one. So everyone is no one. O.o;; I'm so confuzzled. there's freggin nothing to do. Dooom Dooom Dooooooommmm....I dont want to sleep but I might have to force myself to if I dont find something soon. So do u know whats sad? Have you ever heard of The Sisterhood Of The Pants?? Well, its a series about a group of friends. I don't know what age group its meant for but the first tiem I read both of the books I was like Booo Hoo Hoo crying. And I reread the end of the 2nd one tonight and woosh...I mean it's like.."wow...thats sad...he died" then next minute full on crying. Then...doom doom doom "She's playing soccer" then Cry then "Shes talking to her mom"....CRYY..Lol...Yes if you understand that you know me too well. "Full Review Today I finished reading "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" by Ann Brashares, which is probably one of the best books I've read in a long time. This book is about four girls who have been friends since before they were born (really!). The four girls are going to be apart for the first summer ever and they're all worried about being "friendless." They decide to share a pair of "magic" pants between the four of them to help keep their friendship intact. This book shares the unique stories of each of the four girls' summer activities, problems, and experiences. I enjoyed this book because I can relate to almost everything that happens in the book. Topics range from a first love to the death of a friend to the remarriage of a family member, as well as many other things. Brashares makes this novel unique by telling a few pages worth of each girl’s activities, separating each incident with a short letter from one girl to another. The letters are how the girls communicated their summer lives with each other while they were apart. They also send the pants back and forth a few times between the four of them, sending with the pants their own experiences they had while wearing them, often along with some advice. Whenever one of the girls' segments ended, I was disappointed that it didn't continue, but excited to move on to the next girl. Each girl’s story was very interesting and unique, and can be compared to incidents that we all experience in our own lives. One of the rules of the sisterhood of the traveling pants was that the girls had to write about experiences they had while wearing the pants inside the legs of the pants when they all were reunited. When the girls get back together at the end of the summer they have all changed but their friendship has definitely survived. The only thing I really found wrong with this book was that a few of the things that happened seemed unrealistic. For example, one of the girls ends up running away from one parent's house to go back to the other parent. In reality, I don't think parents would react the way they did in the book. I enjoyed this book immensely and I think this is a fantastic first novel from the author. I feel this is a book many people should read because the characters are so well developed that it gives the reader a good idea of how different even the best of friends can be, as well as how different kinds of people deal with different things. This book has made me realize the true value of having “girlfriends,” and it left me craving a sisterhood and magic pants of my own. I cannot wait to read the sequel, "The Second Summer of the Sisterhood." (A book review..I told you i was bored) I dunno, I like the books cuz there's 4 girls I think. Carmen, Tibby, Bee, and Lena. And all of them have been best friends forever. But all their lives are so different and they're all going through something different in the books, and you can relate to each girl atleast six times throughout the books. I mean, it's not some deep psycological thing like National Hawthorne or anything, it's an easy read. But I reccomend them. So yes, go read them!!! Or you can borrow them. If you have time and just want a good book that's nott to headache causing, go for it. ::wink:: And that was my book reccomendation of the week...Enjoy. Grrrr to you all. Not being online at 3:00?!?!?! I'll just eat your livers. Yuuuumm....::ar ar ar:: You know what band I hate? Tatu..that stupid russian band. I mean, they aren't even a band! It's so stupid. I mean, come on, some people think they honestly are lesbians. Well, it could be, but unlikely. it's just a bunch of P U B L I C I T Y...damn publicity. What to do what to do? My library book is 32 years overdue! Should I admit that its mine and pay the fine? (forgot this line) Oh what should I do? What should I do? I am Nobody, who are you? Are you Nobody too? Then there's two of us, don't tell They'd banish us you know How dreary to be somebody How public like a frog To live your life the livelong day By some admiring bog (Kinda shaky on the last line..I had to memorize it in 5th grade...lol) you know was looking through my documents on the computer and I found this random thing I had written about the good things about all my friends and I was all...woooahhh...lol...Like how we can talk for hours and never run out of things to say and when we do, we just make up stupid inside jokes. I love all you guys...lol all my friends are great people. Don't ever change. (Lizzie McGuire quote...::sigh:: Gordo) :-) I wasted almost an hour typing this damn thing up. I'm proud of myself. Well, I see you're all bored enough...so I'm outtie...off to look up random movie quotes online..weee! ~patrice |
