I am swamped with assignments and trying to breathe sanely.
I am swamped with constant puffs of breaths that keeps blowing my way.
I am swamped with phrases running all over my brain.
I am swamped with murmurs ringing in my ears.
I am swamped with books in front of me.
I am swamped with pencils in my hand.
I am swamped with school on my mind.
I am swamped in a pile of paper.
I am swamped with computers.
I am swamped in distaste.
I am swamped in books.
I am swamped.

Freaky Green Eyes
This would be my first Joyce Carol Oates and I enjoyed it. Freaky Green Eyes is about a girl named Franky who has sports star father with a bad personality. I mean he's not that bad, but his temper is off the chart. Franky finds her parents going their own ways and sees a divorce coming, but then suddenly her mom comes up missing and finds that her dad and his temper might have something to do with it, so now she has to serve her mother justice instead of being loyal to her father.
Freaky Green Eyes will have you wanting to read to the end with her simple yet evocative writing. Mrs. Joyce Carol Oates builds suspense with her words, interviews and journals in the story.
Even though we all might have heard of a story like this everywhere including the newspaper, Mrs. Oates adds a new layer to this story with her mother's sisters and mother's friend, so readers are not thinking, "Oh another story about a suspicious husband killing his wife who is loving and loyal to him." No. Mrs. Joyce Carol Oates writes no this is not that story. Its the story of a girl who has a messed up father and a great mother but can't seem to decide who is right and who is wrong.
I recommend this book to anyone who wants a great read and a different point of view in life.

Birthday Week
My 25th birthday was special. My good friend, Anastasia, had come over to celebrate my birthday with me. We went to the Hilton Head Island and spent a day there under the sun, by the beach, in the water and with a special friend. Nothing can be compare to that. Of course family is something, but if your parents work then this still good. Plus there are perks in going with friends too. Well pass and go this topic and we can talk about my birthday.
My first stop was the beach. I was caught unprepared without any merchandise and wear for the beach. It was good that Anastasia had prepared some things otherwise we would be sweating under the sun. Still the sun did not stop us from having fun.
I remember her dragging meinto the water. I did not want to go into the water first, but then when I went into the water. I was glad. Of course I don't know how to swim so couldn't exactly float in the water, but feeling the weight of the water surrounding my feet. It felt no less than walking through sand or more like dragging your feet through sand. It gives you a great leg workout. Who says that water is light? They should try walking through water and avoiding the tides for those who can't swim and those who have ever entered the water for the first time. They know what I"m talking about. When I came out of the water, my legs still felt heavy from the water. I didn't think I could get up off the sand for a while and it was real stroke of luck that the wind was cool, so I had fun letting the wind play with my hair. Well the reason I had to come of the water was because I was starting to feel sick and nauseated. I don't think I could have gone further into the water without passing out or vomitting. Still the experience was exhilarating and thrilling too. I would not mind going through this experience once again.
My trip did not end here. There is more, but you will have to wait until next time.
'Til next time

The Struggle
I don't think I will be continuing this series. Its a love triangle and I don't see any vampire stories. I know there are better vampire stories out there than this.
All I will say is if you like two vampire brothers fighting over a girl then this is the story for you.
Now I will also say that at least Twilight has a vampire story in the background and not just the romance stuff.
But yes, to this interested:
This story is getting heated up and now that Elena is dead things are going to get even up spicy. And here's another cayenne pepper on top: she loves Damon now and Stefan is doing the thing he did not want to do. Drink human blood. So if you're reading this book then yes things are getting spicy and might want to have some water with you to drink to cool yourself off.

Wondering
I just finished watching Boys Over Flowers, which is a Korean drama and found the story mind sweeping and entertaining. Its one of those romance stories that make you think its not possible, but then... yes its one of those stories. For girls, it keeps you glued to the story 'til the end. Its not like Twilight since there are no vampires but its more realistic in a sense and the story is anything but boring. I wouldn't say boys shouldn't watch it. Infact, I think the boys should watch it because of the four main boys in the story. I know that there is one person in there that boys can relate to.
When I started to watch this, I didn't want to stop watching it until I reached the end, so I sat down and watched it 'til I didn't finish it. I had to do that in order for it to not haunt me because I wouldn't be able to sleep if I didn't finish watching it.
The story does not ramble on and there are no parts in it where it would make you think okay moving on because each sequence in the story is important for the story to move on forward. I would say that their separation might have been too long and then the amnesia thing in the last episode left me thinking that maybe they won't get together, but they did. It ended happily ever after.
I loved how the writer had so many different characters in this story. Its like making spicy rice where the author is adding all these different flavors to make the story more interesting and the actors do a good job of portraying the characters. I think they do a better job than the Japanese version.
To conclude, I would recommend this show to everyone. It is worth your time watching and you should read the comics before or after you watch the show. Things will make some sense when you read the comics since this show is based off of the japanese comics, Hana yori dango or boys over flowers. I just watched the show and in the process of reading the comics. I normally don't read comics, but this show compelled me to read the comics. I would say you should keep an open mind if you don't like comics and read this one.

My apologies
I apologize for not posting anything. I don't know the identity of my readers. I will try again to post much often as possible and I am expanding my posts, so there is nothing one thing I will be posting. You could see book reviews, fiction works, poetry works, and much much more. Thank you for those who do read my posts and I appreciate your support. I will continue to post and you keep you entertained and maybe, possibly informed.
Vampire Diaries: The Awakening
I don't know how many of you guys have stepped into the world of vampire fiction, but I have just taken a step into it and I am not happy with the first vampire book I have picked up.
I am reading The Vampire Diaries right now and I see a romance story with good characterization and I could say plot, but the problem I have now is with the plot. I see a romance story here instead of a story, story about vampires. I don't mind the romance aspect of the plot, but I would like to see more of the vampire story come out. I would like to see more about Katerina, Damon and Stefan. I know the love triangle is important part of the story, but Stefan and Damon are vampires so I would like to their vampire sides more and perhaps be introduced to more vampires. I don't mind seeing the brothers family and see someone else crop up in the story since the brothers have been around since the fifteenth century. It would sure add more depth to the story.
I have to say though it still does absorb the reader into the story and the progression is not bad, but I'm saying this based upon reading The Awakening. I would say it is worth reading at least once, not more than that if you don't enjoy the books completely. Then again those people who are enjoying the romance story and the story the way it is written then by all means go ahead and read away. Go buy the books. But those who are looking for real stories I would suggest reading once and moving on.
