Tear drops on my book...

Posted by A+A at 10:16 pm

Today I cried, really hard, and I haven't cried for real in a really long time. Why did I cry you ask? Because of a book, and let me tell you I'm not one to cry at books no matter how sad or frustrating. Where the red fern grows? Nope, no tears just sadness. Night (Great book about the Holocaust)? Incredibly moving book but still no tears. What was the book I was reading? My sisters keeper. One of the best books I have ever read, and as I sat on my bed balling my eyes out hoping that no one would walk into my room and see me like this I was wondering, why am I crying now?

Why am I crying during this book which is not even real and not cry during a book which is very real about people who were getting killed everyday just because of their religion?
I thing it was the fact that I was alone and the fact that I really really felt like it was an ok thing to cry over played into it. And then I was thinking about how ridiculous it really was, all of these unfortunate events happening in a book and here I was wrapping myself around them like I was just as much apart of it as the characters were. But I'm not apart of it, and I never will be part of their made up fantasy of a life.
That's my venting for the day, now for some lighter subjects...


  1. My family and I went over to our friends house for dinner and our neighbors were there, who have the cutest little kids.

  2. Anyway, one of them goes to my dad and says "Are you a grandpa?" I thought that was really cute that he thought he was a grandpa, his hair is more grey than any other color and hes bald on the top of his head, we got a laugh out of that one.

  3. And last night I went to a baseball game with my neighbors (Just can't get enough of them!) and the little girl Riley goes "Ding dong, who's there? Destiny!"

  4. I don't even know where she heard that one, she did say something about bolt...

  5. So now I really am tempted to talk about cross country because I said how at the course my goal was 25 min... Guess what I got? 24.05

  6. I was beyond exited let me tell you! I know that this isn't really great news to anyone but me but that time means that I have officially dropped 6 minutes off of my original time!

  7. I had another race two days ago and I was convinced that I was going to do really bad, I got out there and my legs were so tired from the hard workout that week I thought to myself, they don't want to do this but I do

  8. So I pushed myself really really hard despite the groans of pain my legs would have been saying if legs could talk. I was proud for giving myself that much, just one good race.

That's really all I have to say and I'm afraid that if I talk for any longer people will start to think my posts are to long and stop reading them.

DON'T FEED THE WILD ANIMALS!

My Sister's Keeper is SUCH A GOOD BOOK! I think that was the first book I had ever read back in 8th grade that actually made me bawl too.

And no no no! Long posts are always enjoyable =)
