News item numero uno: I am definitely going to Toronto (probably in June) to check out the University of Toronto! Yay! I was going to go by myself or possibly with my best friend, but then my dad decided to renew his passport and make it a business trip (he has a client in Toronto. (my dad is a statistician with his own business)). So, my dad and ...

I am definitely a Democrat. I won't be able to vote, but, if I could, I'd vote Democrat. I'm very liberal, to the point, in fact, where I'm more liberal than the nominees, but they're closer to what I believe than John McCain.
But which candidate to support? Clinton or Obama? Me, I am a staunch supporter of Hillary ...

"No matter what you believe, somebody believes you are going to hell."
It's true, isn't it? We certainly don't agree on religion (we being the human race), by any means. We are Protestants and Jews and Muslims and Zoroastrians and Wiccans and Atheists and Buddhists and Catholics and Mormons and Daoists and so ...

I'm in the spring semester of my junior year of high school, which means I'm looking at colleges. I haven't got long to decide which ones I'm applying to. I'm leaning towards Fordham or NYU, but I want to make some more college visits, too.
This should be my decision. Sure, there are people I ask for advice from, and, yeah, ...

Obviously, I do write. I wrote my Red essay. I write school assignments. I write in a journal. I write two blogs (one for bookish things, and this one for whatever).
But I don't feel like a writer anymore. I don't feel like I'm capable of writing anything complete and worth reading, which discourages me so much that the only things I ...

Red is a Readergirlz suggested read this month, right along with some really fantastic books (including Siobhan Vivian’s A Little Friendly Advice and Garret Freymann-Weyr’s Stay With Me, both of which I absolutely adore). Readergirlz is a great program, so I’m truly honored that I and the other Red girls get to be a part of it! Thanks, ...

All of my very skinny friends complain about how fat they are. My first reaction is, if weight is that important to you, and you think you're fat, then what do you think of me?
My second and more profound thought is, why is weight that important to you? I mean, I do understand why. It is all of the pressure that society puts on girls to be, ...

I know this is long, but bear with me. I have a lot of weeks of not blogging to make up for!
I'm well aware that I currently suck as a blogger. I'll try to do better! It's just that there's this one class I'm really worried about (love the subject matter, hate the class) and when I'm stressed and worried, all I can ...

I stole this post idea from Jordyn :-) I'm going to talk about ten books that have in some way influenced me. In no particular order and without any further ado:Alanna: The First Adventure by Tamora Pierce. This is the book that I think really made me into the reader I am today. I mean, I'd been a voracious reader since I ...

I said this to a couple of my friends in the car yesterday. They thought I was kidding or being overly dramatic. I was completely serious. *** Cheney is Voldemort.
Voldemort took over the Ministry of Magic but he did it secretly; he didn't declare himself Minister of Magic, he just controlled said Minister. He killed and tortured lots ...
