Got an email from Jesus!!

Just got an email from (Jesus) Salvador, which was all in Spanish and I didn't feel like translating it.
Okay, here was my day:
Science-boring, nothing happened.
Math- Boring.
Info Pro-I had to make the Remembrance Day program
French-hmm...studied for my midterm which is on Monday.
English-practiced my Remembrance Day reading for the class. Just my luck that I get all big long words!
No one reads the sci fi books I tell them to. Maria does! Except I would like Timeline back soon. But yeah, Celise was looking for books, and she wouldn't take out Sphere. That's probably like the fifth time I have told people to take it out, and they won't, because they have this bias against sci fi (in my opinion, the best genre in existence) and they won't take The Chrysalids by John Wyndham either, which makes me mad because its an awesome book. Celise told Amanda to read some book that we wouldn't think Celise would have read, and Rachel was like "it really scares me that Celise has read that book."
My camera works! Yay! I'm happy.
Went to Yorkton today and bought sweet ass boots and a white shirt, and awesome awesome camouflage guy pants. Also we got...dun dun dun STAR WARS III REVENGE OF THE SITH! STAR WARS MOVIE MARATHON! With all six movies! That's like...12 hours of movie watching.
I want my guitar really badly...anyone want to lend me 100 bucks?
Ian's rich, he can.
Um...we're starting to read The Hobbit in class. It's really disconcerting cuz when we're all reading together Heidi never follows and I hear her pen scratching incessantly.
Mmm...Atreyu makes me happy. Especially The Crimson.
Here are some of my favorite books of all time:
1. Anything in The Mediator series by Meg Cabot. Romance, adventure, and ghosts...what more could you want? It's about a girl who's a mediator: she helps ghosts get their business done so they can go to their next life or whatever.
2. Sphere- Michael Crichton. A bunch of scientists go underwater to investigate a possible alien spacecraft. After they find a silver sphere (hence the name) things start going screwy. One of the awesomest sci fi books in existence. Anyone who reads that book will be my hero. I wanted Beth to die though. Don't you hate it when the people you want to die never do?
3. Jurassic Park- Michael Crichton. Pretty good book, but probably the only one in which the movie is better. It makes me look stupid, but I had to watch the movie twice and read the book once until I got everything straight and knew what was happening. Anyway, the book is way different from the movie, and I had quite a culture shock. I don't think I need to talk about the plot.
3. The Lost World- Michael Crichton. Way way better than the movie. I can't really remember the plot, but Ian Malcolm is in it.
4. Prey-Michael Crichton. A swarm of microbots gets loose and starts evolving and killing people. Very slow to get to the good stuff, but once you do, its an amazingly good book. And has a good ending, as the person I wanted to die, does die!
5. The Chrysalids- John Wyndham. Set in the future after a nuclear holocaust, where the chances of breeding true are fifty percent. In addition, if you are born with any kind of abnormality (an extra toe for example) you must be killed or sent to where all the other deviants live. A group of kids can talk telepathically to each other, and are eventually found out and must escape. The only bad thing about this book was that the main character marries his cousin.
6. The Midwich Cuckoos- one day all the women in the town of Midwich suddenly get pregnant at the same time. Then they give birth to weird kids who all look the same. They turn out to have collective intelligence and are going to take over the world. As most likely no one is going to read this book, one guy, who is the closest thing to a friend that the weird kids have, takes a bomb and blows them up. Which is sad, because really, the kids weren't evil or anything. And he was their FRIEND! I would be kind of mad if Heidi bombed my house, so you can imagine how they felt (or would have, if they had lived). Anyway, very very good book. Actually, John Wyndham is just an all around good author (except for Trouble With Lichen. Someone burn that book. Heidi and I need to burn The Trouble With Lichen and Icarus together)
7. Watership Down- Richard Adams. It's about a group of rabbits whose warren was destroyed so they go off in search of another one.
8. Cash-Johnny Cash. An autobiography of Johnny Cash. It's like he's telling you stories by the fireside. I love it.
9. Can't remember what it's called, but it's by Cameron Dokey and it's telling the story of a prince whose wife cheated on him and it puts him off women altogether and for some obscure reason he says he will take a bride every day but kill her in the morning (sound familiar? It's also called 1001 nights or Arabian Nights or something) ANYWAY then he finds Shahrazad (possibly Shahrayar), who is really smart and tells cliff hanger stories so he won't kill her in the morning because he wants to hear the rest of the story! Then he falls in love with her and his heart comes back to life.
I love it when there's a happy ending, don't you guys?
10. Anything by Dan Brown, except for Deception Point which I didn't enjoy that much, except for the ending which was kind of funny.
11. Midnight Runner- Jack Higgins. Some woman is trying to kill people or something. Anyway, it has Sean Dillon in it. Sean makes the story.
12. White House Connection-Jack Higgins. I can't really remember the storyline, only that it was really really good and has old ladies killing people.
13. Diamonds Are Forever-Ian Fleming. James Bond baby. Need I say more?
Well, that's it for now. Ta everyone!
