Tea. So. Much. Tea.

I am drinking tea.

So much tea.

For like three weeks now, I haven't been able to go a day or so without having a cup of tea. For instance, two Sundays past when I was at JBRA (for those who don't know, this is Jamaica Bay Riding Academy) with Julia, and it was really, really cold. I drank like 8 or 9 cups of tea that day. I don't know what's up with me!

Less Than Three, a short story writing contest organized by Kristina Horner and Hayley Hoover, is ending on Tuesday. I'm about 1/3 to 1/2 done. Grrrr...I really should be writing right now. But I'm not. I'm blogging.

My mom surprised me with something HUGE today. Julia's gonna hate me for this, but I'm saying it! She got me tickets for VidCon. And Julia hates me because she can't go, due to a myriad of preventing conditions.

Tomorrow's gonna be so busy. I have to do this vocal thingy at like 11, and then I have to do my Religion homework thanks to Julia, who lent me her book. *monotone voice that school children use when addressing authority figures* Thank you Julia!

Oh! And I finished the Hunger Games today. I'm might post a blog about that from the car tomorrow on my way to all the stuff I have to do.

Oh and I also discovered an epic game for my iPhone the other day. I was watching BBT (best show ever. Sheldon<3) and Sheldon was ranting about a man who was having a heart attack and that he was calm enough to play Doodle Jump on his iPhone. So, of course, I went and downloaded it.

Okay, now I'm gonna go bug Julia cause she has school tomorrow and I don't!
Bye!

The Fault in Our Stars Reaction [No Spoilers]

Wow.
I read TFIOS when it came out. The day it came out. And I went to make a video response to post to Kristina Horner's review video, but during editing I gave up. I wasn't feeling the video and it just paled in comparison to the book, so it's now sitting on my desktop.

Anyway, today I went to Barnes and Noble with my mom cause we had to do something with the Nook. When I read TFIOS, I read it on my Nook, so I wanted a physical copy. We bought the book and a couple other things and left. In the car on the way home I started to read to my mom, The Fault in Our Stars. She loves it and the second we got home took it out to continue reading. Literally, right now, she's sitting across from me in a recliner with her mouth hanging out, reading the book. Because that is what this book does to you. It's just...wow.

Honestly? (no, lie to me!)
John Green outdid himself with this book. I love all of his books; Looking for Alaska, An Abundance of Katherines, Paper Towns. All of them. I haven't read his colabs yet, but I'm going to be sure to check them out.

Oh and my copy of TFIOS was not signed. Just saying. Kristina, you're not alone. But I have a solution for this lack of personalization: I'm going to VidCon this year. Getting my copy signed. It's all good in the hood(ie).

Happy Reading! dftba.
