The Mad House

It’s 5 A.M., and I can’t sleep. This is just gonna count as last nights blog post, kay? I had one for the day before, but it’s really depressing and stuff so I’m not gonna post it. It’ll just sit in Word.
Stuff that happened:
-We painted two rooms in the house in Atlanta. It was kind of annoying, since we’re all horrible at it and kept getting paint on the woodwork. But we got it done.
-I got three new books. I’ve finished one, “Stake That!” Second book in the Boys That Bite series. It’s really good, I’m hoping to get the next two soon. I didn’t even know there was a second book. Finished that in like, 4 and a half hours. The second book I got is Shiver. REALLY good so far. I’m a little more than half way through; I’ve been reading off and on all day. It’s so sad, but it’s all romantic. It makes me wanna cry, but if I cried I’d have to stop reading. Blahh. So, the third one I got is Kiss of Death. It’s theeeee…. Eighth book in the Glass Houses/Morganville Vampires series. I honestly have no clue if I’ve already read it. The cover was unfamiliar, and the first few pages didn’t ring a bell, so I got it anyway. Pretty much everything I read involves vampires or werewolves. The only thing I can think of that doesn’t is A Mango Shaped Space, my favorite book of all time. It’s about a girl with synesthesia. You should read it if you haven’t, it’s great. Really interesting, too- you learn a lot about what people with synesthesia go through. I had no idea that even existed before I read it. It can be pretty sad at some parts, but overall it’s a great book. Again, my all time favorite. Oh, and Generation Dead doesn’t involve werewolves or Vampires. Just zombies. Kind of. I was looking for the next book in that series, but stupid Borders didn’t have it. Ughh. While I was there, though, I saw one of those end-of-the-bookshelf-things-that-have-things-they-want-you-to-buy-on-it-things. And guess what was on it? SKELANIMALS! I love Skelanimals <33 They’re so cute. Even though they’re dead. My favorite is Elle the Elephant, even though it’s one of the more uncommon ones. I have an Elle necklace. <3
-I came home. Six and a half hour drive from Atlanta to North Carolina, all of it except for like half an hour spent holding a little dog on a pillow. She hates the car, unless she’s on a pillow. If she’s on a pillow, she’s fine. So of course she sat on my lap the whole time. I tried to sleep with her there, but it was kind of hard to get in a comfy position. So my mom took her the last half hour or so, and I half-slept.

So that’s about all that happened today. I’m listening to a really sad song, though I honestly have no idea why, seeing as I’m in kind of a content mood. I’m upset, but I’m not thinking about it so I’m okay. I’m listening to Things Left Unsaid by Disciple. Linkage: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Jjti9TxyEY
So, one thing I love about Shiver [Yeah, I’m gonna talk about this for a while- It’s just so awesome.]: The main guy thinks somewhat in song lyrics. Or at least does some of the time. Excerpts from what I’ve read so far:
You’re my change of skin
My summer-winter-fall
I spring to follow you
This loss is beautiful
That one you’d have to read the book to understand. He’s a werewolf that is only human when it’s hot and is only wolf when it’s cold. The girl, Grace, was attacked by his pack when she was young. She was bitten, and usually that means the person bitten turns into a werewolf. For some reason, Grace didn’t. But Sam [the werewolf guy] was waiting for her to change. He was going to take her back to the pack, so that she could get off to an easy start and wouldn’t be lost.
So he watches her from the woods, every day that he can, at night. Only in the winter, of course, when he’s in wolf form. She knows it’s him because of his eyes. Werewolves only keep their eyes when they change- that’s all that stays the same as their human form. Sam’s eyes are gold, with flecks of different hues in them. He was born with them. So she always knows it’s him, but she’s never seen him in human form. She thinks he’s just a wolf. They kind of become obsessed with each other- Him, waiting for her, and her, being protected and watched by him. Grace loves the wolves, or at least most of them. One wolf, Shelby, wants Sam as her mate. She doesn’t really want him, she just wants the power that comes with him. Apparently she had some horrible life as a human and prefers being a wolf. I dunno, I don’t like her. She’s weird. Anyway, she kind of hates Grace. She sees her as competition.
So one day, a boy is killed by the wolves and hunters come out to kill them off. Sam gets shot and turns human for whatever reason, on her porch, so Grace takes him to the hospital. And then tons and tons of romance ensues, and there is SO much sad stuff in there. But it’s a good sad. Like an I-just-wanna-jump-in-the-book-and-hug-them sad.
So, sorry if I just ruined that book for you? That’s just the very beginning, like before page 65. So I’m not TOO horrible.
Anyway, more lyrics:
Peeling off my skin
Leaving just my eyes behind
You see inside my head
Still know that you are mine

There’s another one, but I don’t like it too much. The first one is my favorite, about the seasons.
So Sam’s just kind of perfect, and any girl would turn to putty in his furry paws.
I’m gonna go now, I have a book to read. Took me half an hour to write this.

Bye
