people with funny hair write good books

I finished A Separate Peace.

I don't normally recommend books from the sixties, or whenever it was written, because I don't like book from that time (normally), because the people had funny hair. But Mom said they still think the same as we do. But yes, I recommend this book. It's good. I think it's a movie, but I haven't seen it. I doubt it does the book justice.

It takes place in the early 1940s. It's about a boy named Gene who has a friend named Phineas (whom everyone calls Finny). Finny is very good at sports and Gene is jealous. They all like to jump from a tree over the river by their school because they believe it will somehow prepare them for the army. I can't tell you much else; it'll give away everything...at first you think the book is a little boring, but it gets very intense later.

So...READ IT YOU LAZY BUMS! :3

terrible typing (that was so lame)

I have really bad typing technique.

I can't get more than 30 WPM without looking at the keyboard and I hold my hands in such a way that I'm prone to developing carpal tunnel syndrome (which I think I already have). I also don't go back to the home keys when I type; my fingers just go where they will.

In order to pass my typing test I must get greater then or equal to 30 WPM, not look at the keyboard and have less than six errors when typing a few paragraphs.

I have a feeling I will still be in typing class in high school.

elise finally woke up

And then she stood, walked groggily into her safehouse without acknowledging the zombie watching her hungrily from the street, and collapsed again on the floor, falling into a deep sleep. Awaiting more Action Points so that in the future she would be capable of actions less boring, Elise snored nonchalantly in the midst of the zombie apocalypse.

In other words, she woke up, moved, and fell asleep again. How lame is that!? It's like one of those giant fat cats that only move to find a sunnier place by the window. Anyway, at least nothing can eat me now. I'm safe!

elise is sleeping and she won't wake up


I'm playing an awfully fun MMORPG called Urban Dead--at which I inevitably suck, because I can't seem to plan my moves properly, despite doing tons of research (strange, isn't it, to research a game?). But anyway, I know you're not supposed to tell people what you're doing in the game to prevent them from killing you, but at this point I really don't care because I had gone to scout out the area and ended up falling asleep OUTSIDE of my safehouse. So far a zombie has clawed me repeatedly, three times, I think, and it's been about a half hour and my character still won't wake up. She's supposed to gain one AP (Action Point) every half hour, but she is still sleeping like a baby, apparently perfectly content with taking a little nap in the streets of a zombie-infested city with no protection whatsoever save a pistol which she has no idea how to use. All I need is ONE LITTLE AP and I can get her to safety, but apparently running a few blocks tires her out very quickly. She'll be a zombie before I get my next AP. >.<


...Yep, so after a full forty-five minutes Elise is still asleep. No zombies have bothered to stop and claw her, luckily. Some people just don't understand the phrase "zombie apocalypse", particularly Elise Willington (my character). If she becomes an undead, I'll soon have to plan the safest route to a revivification point where I'll have to wait for at least a week to be revived by a NechroTech employee, and then create a safe route back to my safehouse. Oh, so tedious! But at least there's TONS of information on Wikipedia. I suppose it should be easy enough...or not. :/

new blog

I'm going to make a new blog because my blog here feels old. It's too weak to hold everything. That's weird, right? WRONG! But the problem is that Blogger wants me to verify my identity, but get this: I don't have a cell phone! Did you hear that, Blogger, Google, or GMail? NO CELL PHONE! >.<

'Kay. So hopefully they'll let me start a new one later...hahaha. Blogger upsets me.
