Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween Everyone!!! Or happy Samhain . . . but that's besides the point.
Hope everyone has fun trick-or-treating and dressing up. (It might rain later too)
Or if you not going trick-or-treating (like me) have fun opening your front door and giving candy out to small children. =D

Finished

Finally, on Monday 26th October at 10:22PM I finished reading Nightworld Volume 1 !!!!!
Of course I must tell everyone what I thought of the stories so I shall write that down now. =)

Be Warned!!! This shall contain spoilers, which I can not help but share. Sorry.

Secret Vampire - the first story, well . . . I didn't like it. To me Poppy was a bit dumb, don't get me wrong I felt sad when you find out that she's going to die from cancer but when James tells her "My cousin lies to people" and then when Ash comes she believes everything he says just wasn't right for me.
Also why did she turn out to be a witch?! She was already a vampire and it only confused me more making her a witch. So sorry people but I just didn't like that story.

Daughters of Darkness - Well, after having read the poor first story, I must say this one kind of makes up for it.
I have to admit I got a little lost at some points when Mary Lynette was talking about stars, btu the rest of the story was pretty good. I liked how Mary Lynette and her brother (Mark) found out that the three sisters were vampires, I also liked the relationship between Ash and Mary Lynette. It was rocky in the beginning (after all she kicked him a couple of times, which made me laugh) but after a while they got use to the idea of being soul mates and fell in love.
I defiantly liked the twist in the end, the fact that Jeremy was a were-wolf, and that he was the one that killed Mrs Burdock and her goat . . . just over land!!! But I think it was when Ash was knocked out and Jeremy was going on about "I'll change you into a were-wolf, its much better" that the atmosphere really changed.
The ending was good aswell, it was nice that even though Ash had to go back home and then prove himself to Mary Lynette that he had really changed and was nice, was that they were together and he was going to come back and see her next year to be with her forever.

Enchantress - Well, I think I liked this story the most out of the other too was because it was different really, the first two stories are mainly about vampires (because lets face it we all love vampires) but this story was about witches.
From reading the blurb I thought the story was mainly going to be about Blaise, but it was about Thea which was interesting. In the start of the story it was ramberling on about how these witches had been to many different schools, but after that I liked how the action came straight in. I must admit in the beginning of the story I hated Blaise, she was self-fish and self-centered but she slowly changed in the story which was nice.
The story had interesting little twists in it, like Randy coming back into the story completely heart broken, he made little cuts under his eyes!!! Oh and the witch ghost escaping, and when you think its not going to show up it kills Kevin!!
I must admit it had the best ending, I was shocked that some Nightworld people found out about Thea and Eric's relationship. It was nice that they pretended to drink out of that cup and forget all they knew, they both gave up everything just to be with each other (awwww).

So that's all three stories, yes I now have to begin reading the second book, but not tonight since its now 11PM and I'm tired. =D
Anyway for a rating I would give Nightworld a 3/6, since it was okay but not perfect. If the first story had been better it would of got a higher rating.

Problems

Well its Tuesday, only part-way though the week. Anyway although I had fun today at my Diploma and I have an awesome new coat =D. I'm going a little insane . . .
I have a feeling my friends don't like me anymore =[ , and then I'm losing track of everything at the moment. I need to read, which I'm failing at since I'm only on the second story on the first Nightworld book. And I'm meant to be writing my story but since I changed it a little I'm STILL editing, its annoying. I'm also seeing someone constantly at the moment and sometimes I hear voices :S
I guess the good news is that I'm going to London on Thursday, and I'm writing another story really but with my best friend.

Gahh, I'm stuck people. Were-wolves or Vampires, if you were in love with a were-wolf but forced to marry a vampire what would you do?
Sorry, I would just like peoples view on the subject. Make sure this is from what you think and not book related please.

Thank you
Bye

Thoughts

Sorry for not blogging for a couple of days, I have just come back from my mothers house for the weekend. I haven' really had much to blog about lately, but I thought that I should do it now.
So last week Wednesday I went to go see UP with my good friends: Lewis, Nicole and Lauren. And I must say its a great movie, its funny but also sad at some parts. A movie for children as well as adults, and is a defiantly must see film.
While I was in town I did get a chance to go into HMV and Waterstones, and I brought Marked. A few of my friends have recommended this book to me so I thought I might as well buy it. Though now I have a lot of books to be reading, such as:

. Dracula by Bram Stoker (I brought the sequel so I need the first book)
. Vampire Kisses by Ellen Schreber (Same again, ordered the first and second book, but only the first came so I need to go buy the first)
. Glass Houses - The Morganville Vampires Series by Rachel Caine
. Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead (The second book is apparently not out in the UK)
. Lord Loss - The Demonata by Darren Shan (Yes most people love Darren Shan so I thought I would buy one of his books)
. Midnight's Daughter by Karen Chance (Since I have read one of her other books I brought this one)
And now I have Marked, so it can join this group of : Kathryn's Must Read Books.

Anyway on the subject of books I'm still reading Nightworld Book 1, all I can say at the moment that in 'Secret Vampire' that Poppy is an idiot! I mean James tells her that Ash is a liar and stuff and when he comes she listens to him! Grrr Poppy soo annoyed me then, I could really kill her, what an idiot.
Well I guess I should be ending this entry by now, I might next write in a couple of days if anything interesting happens. But if not I will defiantly blog on Thursday, as I am off to the theater again but this time to watch Blood Brothers.

Bye, everyone have a good week!

(P.S: New Moon Soundtrack is now out!!! With a big fold out poster inside =D )

Help!

So guess what, I was still read 'Shiver' while looking though peoples blogs to find out that 'Shiver' is a three part book series, and the next book doesn't come out till next year . . . August!
And that really bugged me, because if I read it all now I wont remember the story by that time next year. Then I would have to wait for the third book to come out anyway, and for me I cant wait that long.
So that is why I'm saving 'Shiver' for next year and starting to read the 'Nightworld' series, which I haven't even gone past the first page since people are talking to me.
Oh well, the second book is at my mothers house anyway, so I'm going to have to read slowly . . . unless the book is really good (like I have been told) then I'm done for.
Also if anyone has read 'Interview With The Vampire' would you please be able to tell me if its good or not. Since I have seen the film which was okay, but the Vampire Chronicles series is 11 books (which could keep me going for a while. . . or not). But I would just like to know if the book if worth buying.
Thank you!

Anyway after a series of attempts at things I like I'm stuck.
I love to draw Manga art and stuff like that, but I think My drawings are going down hill, here are a few to show:

(By the way, my drawing aren't sexist its just I cant draw men)

But then I also Love to write (which you can see from my blogs), and from my story. In my first blog I said I was writing a story, well since I'm confident that I finally have it right I'm going to post it below. (Sorry I cant make the text any bigger).

Preface

When bad things happen in this world do we forget about them? Leaving them to fall behind into the past, or do we remember them? As painful as they may be we learn from are mistakes. When you fall in love with someone you’re forbidden from seeing do you get mad and angry with rage? Or go off with someone else, who you’re forced to be with?

If we look closely we find out the truth, were we should be. We may break the rules but it’s what love does, it makes you risk anything just to be with the one who your heart truly desires.

I enter the crowed room; everyone is wearing masks and fancy clothes, as am I. I want to find my horrible mean kidnapper but I am too late, I am whisked away with all the dancing couples. I here laughter I search until I find it is in front of me, I am dancing with my kidnapper. I try to escape but his arms are like iron bars around me.

I want to confront him, tell him that I want to leave and go back to my love, but he does not listen instead he tries to put his lips to mine.

I try to push him away again but I still can’t. How did I get myself into this mess? Why am I the damsel in distress, but I have no prince to come and save me?

I am forced to dance, hating every minute. I am even offered a glass of there finest blood there. My head starts to ache, from the sound of voices and bad music filling my mind.

After talking to him the kidnapper lets me go, I can breathe again. He claps his hands and shortly after a cage is brought in. Inside a young man that I have seen before, I scream and everyone stares at me. Why is my love in a cage? Why didn’t he run like I said?

I beg the kidnapper for forgiveness and to let my love go, he then slaps me and gives an answer I didn’t want.

I run to the cage, my chest starts to ache and I start to feel dizzy. I quickly grab my loves hands and try to tell him about my love for him. Suddenly something starts to tug on my waist, I try to keep hold of my loves hands but I am pulled away.

I start to sob and cry until I fall into darkness, the only thing I hear is the kidnapper laughing, and my love screaming my name. Viola Viola Viola.

Comment please, and help me out. Thank you everyone.

The Theatre & New Friends

It's Thursday! So I thought I would write a bit about yesterday and today.
So yesterday it was raining like anything, I sat though school talking to my friends and sitting though one detention and everything was great . . . until after school. I had to stay after school so i could be taken to my Diploma school, so they could take us to London to watch 'Dorian Gray'.
So i had to take an extra pair of clothes to school with me so I could get changed into them, which i did but it was raining. I had no umbrella and no jacket so I sat on a bench in the school out of the rain and froze.
It got to 4:30 so I got picked up and driven to my Diploma school, were I ran around in the rain even more because I didn't know where to go. I found two guys from my class and eventually found the rest and got in the mini van to drive off to London. It took an hour and something to get to London and the New Wimbledon Theater, but when we did get there we got are tickets and sat down and watched.
At the first break we got up and I was saying "This is soo awesome!" and the play was, we wondered around got sweets and watched the rest of the play. It was one of the greatest things I've ever seen, this play was performed in mime (no talking) and dance and we could still tell the story.


Dorian Gray is the story of a waiter named Dorian who suddenly turns into a model from his good looks, he starts to have a love affair with his photographer Basil Hallward (who yes is a man) and also has another affair with Lord Henry Wotten (who in the play is a woman).
Dorian starts to get obsessed with his good looks and is willing to try anything that will keep him looking young and beautiful, he also starts to develop his conscience.
Him and his friends start to take drugs in his house, until a new man comes along and die's from taking them. Then it all goes downhill for Dorian as he starts to realize that he cant stay handsome, he starts to go into a deep dark depression where he doesn't even know what he is doing until he does it.
Like he tries to rape Lord Henry Wotton, until the woman slaps him and he backs away only from thinking that she might of ruined his face. Dorian leaves the modeling business towards the end but Basil still wants pictures of him, so Dorian acts like he wants to have sex with him and then kills him with his own camera!
Dorian starts to realize all the bad things he is doing (all though the depressing parts his conscience has showed) and tries to kill his conscience which kills himself.

The play is a modern version of the book Dorian Gray, which after seeing this performance I would love to read. The dancing techniques were amazing and so was the story, I would defiantly go see the play again if I could.
After the show we left London and returned home. As soon as I got home I lied on my bed thinking of the play, and it stuck in my head all of that night.

Thursday 8th October
I awoke this morning feeling . . . tired but awake at the same time it confused me. With my dad constantly shouting for me to get up and go downstairs I did. I didn't have school today instead i had my Diploma, (I swear people hate me there) but people act friendly.
My first lesson at my Diploma was watching year 11s performing a play that was meant to be for new year 7s, it was shirt but very funny. It was meant to show year 7s thinking that there first day was going to be bad, but instead it was good.
Today one person that liked me was there (doing the Media part of the Diploma, I'm doing the Performing Acts) so I talked to her and walked around with her at break time and that's when it happened.
I MADE FRIENDS! WHICH ARE BOYS!! =D
I managed to make 4 friends that were all boys, I felt so great. One was a great drawer, the other two were funny and the last one just kinda walked in and out of are conversations. And best of all . . . they all listen to music I like. I found myself hanging out with them at lunch and just talking (I don't get many friends my age that like me) it was so cool.
Later when are Diploma finished i talked to them again and got high-fives from 3 of them, it was a good thing making friends with them, even if I do only see them on Thursdays.
I'm now sat in my room and its 7:58PM and I'm downloading music from my friends phone (he's 18 and mostly friends with my sister).
I'm still finding that today and yesterday could of been some of the happiest day of my life. =D
Well I'm done talking, have a good evening everyone.

Book Reviews.

Second Blog Post:
So its now 2:35PM and I'm still trying to do home work =[ but while I'm online I might as well talk about some books I have read and would recommend.

The Twilight Saga


By Stephenie Meyer

Yes I'm talking all four books. Twilight happened to be the first proper book I had ever read and I loved it, I was recommended it by at least 3 friends so i went to Waterstones to go buy it. As soon as I got home I started to read it and I immediately fell in love and couldn't stop reading

it.
I loved Bella, she wasn't the original teenage girl she was different and all ways thinking of others, I also loved (and i mean really) loved Edward he may be like 107 years old but he was really sweet and loving, he is defiantly the kind of guy I would love to meet. And all the Cullens were awesome, there the kind of family everyone dreams of.
About 1 and a half or 2 days later I finished the book and went straight on to the second book.
New Moon wasn't what I expected it to be, I had read the blurb and thought oh okay then and as soon as I read it I was shocked. It didn't take me long to finish that one either but I found a few bits boring, since I discovered I loved Edward I was one of the few people who skipped to the back of the book to find out what happened. I didn't really expect the ending either so New Moon was okay for me.
Eclipse was quite good actually (I found myself reading up to 1 AM just to find out what happens) because Bella finally chooses between Edward and Jacob, I was shocked at some of the little things she did when she was with Jacob and others with Edward. And I loved the ending, who knew so much could happen on that camping trip, and in the meadow =D.
Breaking Dawn i think was really good, I was a little confused in the beginning but of course i was sucked right back into the story shortly after. I liked how the point of view swapped from Bella to Jacob, leaving Bella on a little cliffhanger and you racing though Jacobs point of view to see what happened. Some parts in Jacobs point of view got a tiny bit boring for me, there were parts when Jacob focused on his pack which was nice but not what I was looking for at the time. And one part were I had already guessed what was going to happen but they didn't come up to it for a while. The ending (back in Bella's point of view) stunned me, I thought the whole grouping everyone together for the war was great. And Renesmee was such a sweet character that i loved her by the end as well.
Over all I would defiantly recommend the twilight saga to any vampire, romance lovers. For the first proper book I had read it took me straight into the story and into the twilight universe (and I read twilight just before the movie came out so it was great for better understanding). In the end though I would give the whole series a 10/10 but a tiny (and I mean really tiny) bit of a 9 as well, it was awesome but some tiny (tiny, incy, little) bits could be made better.

the host


By Stephenie Meyer

After reading 'the twilight saga' I turned to read some other books that Stephenie Meyer had published, after searching on the internet I found 'the host' of course i brought it and started to read it but I found it wasn't as good as the twilight saga.
People who had already read the book told me the first 100 pages weren't that good, and they were right I started to find myself bored and began reading slower. I gave up on the book before i got past 100 pages because I was to bored and wasn't understanding a thing. Instead of reading it I cheated and looked on the internet to see what happened in the rest of the story. Since i had the other books to read I didn't read for a while.
About a couple weeks later I found myself utterly bored and began reading the host again (where I had left off), as soon as I got past those 100 pages (maybe a couple more) it started to make up for the beginning. I began to read quicker and finished the book.
Its hard to say if i would recommend this one since I found some parts I couldn't understand and sort of boring where others it was really exciting and sucked me into that part of the story. I do like the idea of the story 'A love triangle with only two bodies' and I like how its set into the future, but I would just like a little more description so I no what the story is talking about.
I'll leave you people to decide for this one. I would have to rate this one a 7/10 if the beginning wasn't so confusing I would give it a higher mark.

The Mortal Instruments
(City of Bones, City of Ashes, City of Glass)


By Cassandra Clare

A lot of reading different books later i came to find this, I was in WH Smiths' searching for books when i came across this, the mortal instruments series, (basically the books above) when the a quote on the front cover caught my eye '"A story world I love" Stephenie Meyer' and I think that and the front cover of the book is what made me buy it. I had to finish another series of books before I read these ones but as soon as I started to read I was sucked into the story and started to love it.
The characters were great I think Clary was really cool, Simon was so funny he came up with jokes even in parts that weren't meant to be funny, Jace was really awesome he was like a boy all the girls want but could never have, Alec was okay in the beginning but a bit mean but in the second book he became a good character, and Isabelle is just like most girls in the world.
The books were really good and funny, so many parts shocked me in the books though in the first chapter of the first book i was a little confused. But the rest of the book completely made up for it.
I still can't believe the book sends you on a kind of wild goose case just to find out who son is who and what family does he belong to? I think i like the second and third book better than the first, the first book was a little confusing but the second and third were quite good because you got to know everything that was happening and you weren't confused at all.
I would recommend this book to people who love the gore and all the romance, its a good series. I would give it a 9/10 for me.

Morning

What a beautiful day, the sun isn't shinning and . . . and . . . I want to go back to bed! Yes these were my thoughts exactly when i was waken-up this morning by my sister, who wanted to find an umbrella, even though today was my day off. No school, no Diploma to go to — my Diploma school has an inset day — my day at home, and already I'm woken up early.
I had had so much trouble getting to sleep last night that opening my eyes now was almost painful, I turned over and tried to get more sleep but was woken time and time again by my loud family. I tried to not let it bother me and stared at my ceiling — which has glow in the dark stars and hammer-beads hanging from it — but i began to get a head-ache, I sat and stared at myself in the mirror and realized my hair looked like a hay-stack. I sighed to myself.
But still I decided to get up when everyone left the house, brush my teeth and go put my clothes away. Now that that's done I'm concentrating on my homework and drawing skills — which are really bad by the way — and its still 11:34 AM.
For some reason my mind is crowed with my story — yes I'm writing a story, and need to focus more on it — I cant seem to get the characters out of my head, its like they live there. Never aging, never dieing just helping. and whilst all of this is happening I'm slowly giving up on my book I'm reading, 'Shiver'. I wonder at the moment why am I multi-tasking but I guess this is just how I am, how I have been raised to tackle the world.
Now that I've brought the subject up why are we here? It seems to bother me that were here for a reason that no-body knows what that is, and then in life we suffer and think 'I wish i wasn't here' and then the good points come along and make us want to live forever. But I guess were here for the thing were good at — which I havent found out yet — and for the romance and specialness, as i told my friend yesterday 'Specialness makes the world go round' but then a lot of thing do as well . . . I'll stick to the specialness.
Well I still have lots to do and I think I have wrote enough for my first ever blog, sorry to the people reading if this does happen to bore the hell out of you but this does happen to be my life. And before I leave this world I plan to tell people some parts of it.
Have a great day everyone.
