tralalalalala.Hello fellow book clubbers!
I know, many of you are disappointed because none of  the three brilliant book club leaders are blogging (Andrew Kwon doesn’t count because he’s training his younger brother to hate me). Sarah Yang requested me to post an entry… so i’m just here as a guest writer :) please bear with me.
WAIT, I want to start off with something horrible that happened to me on friday. As all of you already know, it was Friday the 13th… Usually i’m not a big fan of superstitious ideas and things, but unfortunately I have THE WORST LUCK EVER, so I was kind of nervous throughout the whole day. The day before, I woke up with a charlie horse (I think this is what it’s called?) and I didn’t stretch it out properly, so my leg was sore ALL DAY on friday. i also woke up late and missed the bus and tripped while running to catch up to it. I slipped while running up the stairs (because the bottom  of my shoes were slippery/wet) and bruised my thigh.This was just the beginning… I left my homework at home so I had to start it all over during RAISE (FREE PERIOD) andddd something very very bad happened in my spanish class. My strange and very very mean teacher Senor Kersten kept calling me out (he’s been doing that a lot to me lately). He pointed out every mistake I made in front of the whole class and he discouraged a couple other students too. I was really frustrated with him so I started to write him a letter… (I write to vent/express my feelings HAHA). I wrote about how I didn’t like the way he called people out and discouraged them and how if he continued to do that, he would never earn respect from the students. I didn’t say anything like “Oh, you suck. You can’t teach for life. Go dig a hole and bury yourself in it.” More like tips on how to become a better teacher… but in a very bitter tone… Well anyway, I planned on throwing away my letter after I was finished with it, but things never turn out the way I want. Yes, he walked by my table and swiped my letter from my grasp. He obviously read the first couple of lines. Sigh, this WOULD happen to me. Well, i’ll stop QQing hahah.

back to the boooook!
*SPOILER ALERT* I’m on chapter 15… If you guys don’t want me to ruin anything for you, I recommend holding down F4 + CTRL… hehehe… catch up on your reading!
don miller, haha he’s hillarious. i absolutely LOVE the way he writes. at first i didn’t dig it too much, but it grew on me and now i LOVE this book! i feel like i’m peering into someone’s personal life! it’s like a journal, and being the nosy person that i am, this book was like love at first sight <3  hehehe i used to read my younger sister&brother’s journals back in the day… okay fine, i still do, but only because they read mine. anyway, this covers like everything in life, so it’s hard not to relate to the things he talks about. i reaaally like this booook! *thumbs up!*

I’m not going to write THAT much i’ll just put up quotes i liked!

wow, some of my stickies fell off because i slept with the book in my arms and i guess i tore it off in my sleep or something … -___-

  • “They are lonely. I’m not talking about lonely for a lover or a friend. I mean lonely in the universal sense, lonely inside the understanding that we are tiny little people on a tiny little earth suspended in an endless void that echoes past stars and stars of stars.” (92)
  • “I felt as though Jesus were gently holding my head so He could work the plank out of my eye.” (93) LOOK UP MATTHEW 7:3-5!! (this verse helped me out throughout missions and life in general)
  • “There is something beautiful about a billion stars held steady by a God who knows what He is doing. (They hang there, the stars, like notes on a page of music, free-form verse, silent mysteries swirling in the blue like jazz.) (100)
  • “I am a human because God made me. I experience suffering and temptation because mankind chose to follow Satan. God is reaching out to me to rescue me. I am learning to trust Him, learning to live by His precepts that I might be preserved.” (101)

wow… i’m like quoting every page -___- this shows my love for this book… PJ! I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU TORE THIS INTO PIECES! I’M STILL VERY BITTER ABOUT THAT! D: well, i’ll end this with one more quote hehehe

  • “I have a weakness for Canadian girls. I don’t know why, but when a Canadian girl asks me what I am thinking ‘aboat,’ I go nuts.” (140)
