Twice in a row? Could this really be happening?

Long time no see Beth!

I just realized what a weird expression that is. It's completely grammatically incorrect. Although it is shorter than saying, "It's been a long time since I've seen you, Beth."

Anyways.

No, you're not seeing things, Hannah actually is keeping her promise and posting again. What a shock, hey?

Someday I'm going to forget that I ever saved all those pictures from my last post to this computer. When that day comes, I'm going to be really confused.  I saved some of those pictures with really weird names, like "brace apocolypse", "gangster hank", "cha cha cat", "i can't find my haibrush" and "turtle on fire". 

That will be exciting. 

***RANDOM BOOK REVIEW!***

Over the summer I read a book called The Perks of Being a Wallflower which I am sure you have heard of, because it is very popular and also they sort of recently made a movie about it in which Emma Watson played one of the main characters. (I haven't seen the movie yet. But I really want to.)

The book is very, very good. Probably one of my favourite books. It's hard to describe how awesome it is, actually. I don't know if you've read it or not, but I'm going to describe it to you anyway. 

It's about this boy named Charlie, who is in his first year of high school. The entire book is made up of letters Charlie writes "to a friend". They don't really feel like letters though. Charlie's a little weird to most people his age, he seems too serious and shy and naive. He hardly has any friends at the beginning of the book, but then he meets these two people, Sam and Patrick. (Sam's a girl by the way.) Sam and Patrick become his best friends, and they introduce him to a bunch of other people he gets to know. Charlie also has this English teacher who gives all these books to him privately and gets him to write essays about them. He becomes kind of a friend to Charlie too. The book follows Charlie and his friends during the entire year. 

That's basically what it's about. But more than that, it's about being an outsider, about friendship, about whether you should be being passive or passionate in life, about being in high school, about running from your life, about not knowing what you're feeling, and about growing up.  

It's really good. You should read it, if you haven't already. 

I want to see the movie so bad. At first I was like, "who would ruin this book with a movie?" but then I learned that the author, Steven Chbosky, wrote and directed the movie. So. I bet it's pretty good. 

I'm sure you've seen some quotes from the book on Pinterest. It's a very quotable book. Some of my favourites are:

“So, I guess we are who we are for a lot of reasons. And maybe we'll never know most of them. But even if we don't have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there. We can still do things. And we can try to feel okay about them.” 

“It's strange because sometimes, I read a book, and I think I am the people in the book.” 

“She wasn't bitter. She was sad, though. But it was a hopeful kind of sad. The kind of sad that just takes time. ” 

“I don’t know if you’ve ever felt like that. That you wanted to sleep for a thousand years. Or just not exist. Or just not be aware that you do exist. Or something like that. I think wanting that is very morbid, but I want it when I get like this. That’s why I’m trying not to think. I just want it all to stop spinning.” 

“Sometimes, I look outside, and I think that a lot of other people have seen this snow before. Just like I think that a lot of other people have read those books before. And listened to those songs.
I wonder how they feel tonight.” 

So there you go. Hope you liked the review. 



DFTBA!
