Diary of an Evil Sister

When Caroline fell done the stairs my first thought was "She was holding the computer!" After that did the sisterly worries kick in. Caroline and the computer were both okay. And now I feel REALLY guilty for thinking of the computer first. Talk about evil. Oops.

Snorg Tees






My favorite from the Snorg Tees.

Nothing But The Truth


This book is pretty bad but I had to read it for summer reading.

Rowling's Mistake

Hey everybody! I realized while listening to Harry Potter on my i- pod that Rowling made a huge mistake in book five. Sirius told Kreacher to get out so he did. But if you call to a house elf they will come. Kreacher did not come when Sirius called to him. I thought that you would just like to know.

Rumors

I heard a rumor that if you get a Breaking Dawn where it's barcode ends in a odd number, it will be different then the other books. Weird...
I also heard that Rowling might write a Harry Potter terms book.
The next Harry Potter movie will come out next summer.
Oh yeah, whatever you've heard about the movie Get Smart, it is really good.
That is all the rumors I know!

What I am Reading

Pretty good.

Ugh...

Ugh... This summer is moving sooo quickly. I do not feel like going back to school. Ugh. Plus I am beginning to sound like a demented cave man with all my ughs. I am thinking about joining the swim team at school. People, tell me if I should or not. Please? Hi to my family who just got back from Scotland. Melanie and Elise- did you bring back a Scottish Harry Potter for me? Harry Potter six movie is coming out next year. Lucy is getting big and I still need to put a picture of the cutest puppy in the world on my blog. Let me see, is anything else happening in my life? Have I mentioned that this summer is moving too quickly? And that I do not want to go back to school? I think I have. Oh, check out the link to the cute t-shirts. Okay, a couple are inappropriate, but a lot are cute. My favorites are the chocolate bunnies (what?), the chocolate and graham cracker chasing the marshmallow with pitch forks, the platypus, Harry is my Homeboy, and the theosaurus. There are probably others, but those are the ones I remember. Bye!

P.S. I also like mixed martial arts and crafts, Milk- I am your father, and pirate encyclopedia.

Diving


I watched men's diving yesterday. China has gotten gold in every diving competition, so I was glad Australia got gold. We got 111 medals. China has 100. America rules. See the closing ceremony.

Vermont

Hey everyone! Vermont is a pretty cool place. You can go on a giant slide down the side of the mountain called an Alpine slide. You can also go to Ben and Jerry's ice cream factory, which is very cool. There is also the VonTrapp Family Lodge. You can buy edelweiss there. Those are some of the many things you can do there. Bye!

Mythology


I am reading a really good book called Mythology. It is about the Gods and Heroes. If you have read The Lightning Thief, you should read this. It helps with your knowledge of the Gods.

Inkdeath



Inkdeath is the next installment of the Ink series, which are really good. Inkdeath comes out October seventh. I can't wait! The series are really good. Pre- order now! Oh yeah, the movie, Inkheart comes out March nineteenth.
*Alissa
p.s. This post is for my best friend Rainah, who will freak out reading this. She somehow likes the Ink series more than Harry Potter.

Books I am Reading



Okay, I figured out what that one book was, it was Jeremy Fink and the Meaning of Life it was really good, and makes you think a little bit more, plus now I want to collect keys. Right now I am reading Mythology: Timeless Tales of Gods and Heroes. They are both good reads. I also suggest that you read Chinese Cinderella. It is a true tale of an unwanted daughter. It is sad, but it proves that there are Happily Ever Afters. Well I guess that is it. Bye!

Cool Little Guys


Aren't all these little guys so cool? But where is diving?

Olympics



Have you seen the Opening Ceremony? It was the most amazing thing I have ever seen. My favorite events are the diving and swimming. I want to see the fencing. That sounds cool. If I'm ever in the Olympics, I'll do the diving or fencing, which sounds like fun to learn. I hope everyone has seen the opening ceremony. I feel sorry for whoever hasn't. Well, the Olympics are back on, gotta go.

Hey!

Hi everyone! Nothing is happening today. Can someone tell me some books to read? I am running out of them. I want to read this book about a kid who tries to find the key to a box. But I can't remember what it is called. If this book sounds familiar please tell me what it is called. Thanks!

The Tales of Beedle the Bard

We did awesome in the battle! Sixth place out of 36 libraries. We rule, and beat my friends Caroline and Bethany. We got 61 points out of 78. We rule! I read Breaking Dawn.

The nice copy is a hundred dollars:( but there is a cheap- o copy for twelve dollars, eight is you are a member of amazon. I can't wait!
