Barnes and noble, i have a new deep found love for you!
i got this book on 2/22 when i went to see About Last Night since there was a B&N right across from the theater. i had like $30 somethin' of b&N gift card monies to waste so i went crazy.
as i was browsing around i was finding it to be a reallllyyy hard time to commit to a $15 book. cuz $15 is a lot. specially when you're gambling on an author you've never heard of.
as i made my way to the young adult section, they had this "new on paperback" table so as i was looking i found this book and i picked it up instantly based on the cover! i mean look at it!!!? its frigging cute! (I'm going through a floral phase!)
i read the back and i was thinking to myself "hmmmm.....what could a step-sister and husband have done to cause her to run away!?"
answer: NOT what you think.
so i picked it up walked around and as much as i tried to leave it, i couldn't. i sucked it up and took it with me.
time to pay.....it wasn't $15.99. it was $9.99!!!!!!! i was eggcited!!!
PS: i truly don't see what the image in the cover has to do with the story itself but I'm glad they used it because a) i love the cover & b) i loved the story (yes, i know. i say that all the time....what can i say, I'm a lover!)
okay to the point!
Months after the tragic accident, Ella ends up in London at her Uncle Lucas' house after she has ran for months from her family and the 2 people she blames for the accident, Aidan her husband and Jess her step sister. she hopes to somewhat find a home in her uncles house.
Lucas, her father's brother, has always loved Ella as his own since they met when she was a young child. Ever since then they have always kept in touch and she's always considered him closer to her than even her own mother.
Now that she has ran out of options, she chooses to go to his home to help her heal.
when she arrives, she arrives to the same home she has always know; messy but clean underneath it all. but it happens to unravel lots of things she was choosing to forget and not hear.
as always, below are the spoilers.
read ahead with caution!!! although, to be honest, i didn't spoil much!
Sorryy!!!!
i know I'm late on my snapshot Sunday post, but i got back from Vegas at 4, ate, passed out, woke up/showered and passed out again. my computer is soooo slow that it didn't make sense in my slow working after Vegas mind to turn it on and type up a post (and we all know blogger mobile sucks for typing up your life away.) ("why didn't you turn it on while you were in the shower les!?" you know, i didn't think of it!)
any who, here are this weeks pictures! <3

And I said "hell yeah!"
To which she then replies "sometimes I'm glad I'm your only friend! I get to go to cool places with you!" (ie: the macklemore concert! two door cinema club/capital cities concert, Six flags for a year. Basically anywhere and everywhere!)

après l'école: sacré bleu
ya know, there was a moment in my life where EVERYTHING going on in my life could have been solved by math.
weird i know, but it is true!!!
right now, its in a phase where i can answer basically everything using an Eminem verse (but like the old, GOOD em, not the crappy, let me "rap" with Rihanna in a song Em) (my opinion, NOT yours so calm yo tits!)
any who, have you ever had a EUREKA moment!? (oh colin, haunting me even after i've moved on from you!)
i'm pretty sure i had one in french class last night.
see, i took french in high school many moons ago and then i was over it.
took it strictly because i needed a language credit in order to graduate. then once that was over i was done.
i knew how to say hi my nameis..., that i'm american and that i want a sandwich. i mean, in my book thats all you need no!?
hehe.
so forward to NOW!
i'm taking French because my coworker kept asking me to go with her so i said yes and i've cursed her everyday since then. (i wouldve taken spanish instead!, because while i do speak it, i could always improve it. ie: accents and all that fun stuff!)
okay to the point.
so yesterday, we were in class and then i dont remember how but we started talking about france vs america (duh les its french class. but you know maybe like that!)
anyways, the teacher started telling us that the french value education more out there than we do out here.
for example, out there you can get your HSD (high school diploma) (or was it your college degree? idk one of those 2...and see what i mean!?) in 3 years. by the time they enter college (if thats the case) they are so friggin prepared because they dont mess around!
where as out here, it takes minimum 4 years and we are always fighting for money for schools.
out there, people, the state (the country i know. im just wording him), they all invest in education.
they all value education so much more than we do out here (at least my teacher thinks and i honestly agree.)
case in point: im 26 and im barely going back to school. i could've graduated such long time ago. but thats me (and me only.) everyone is different. but my point is, basically i was lazy. i was however working. i've been working since i was 16. so its not like i was mooching off anyone or anything.
im not using it as an excuse because believe me im the last one to use that! (kudos to you mommas out there working 2 jobs, taking care of yo' kids and furthering your education!) im just saying...as my teacher said: "people out here are about a status. about owning the latest gadgets. expensive shit versus meaningful things. look at little kids in school, wearing jordans and expensive clothes but they cant even pick up a book! (and then he really ripped one on us!) Look at all of you. when was the last time you guys went to a museum for fun? (omg! true because i havent!!!) you guys dont know where things are geographically! when's the last time you read just for fun (hehe sucka, im working on that post!!!!) you dont even know where half of the wars of the US actually took place!" (did you know that the war of 1812 didnt take place in 1812!? why the war of Archduke Ferdinand started? because he and his wife were killed, even though his father didnt really care for them because they married for love!!!! i love reading!!! (please note that i could also be wrong. so CHILL!))
maaaaannnn.
W A K E - U P - C A L L - ! ! !
more of a wake up call for me anyways.
i guess its in the way he said it. the way he worded it all
i loved social studies and all that stuff!
funny story....when i went back to school back in 2007 i was going to a social studies class and while the whole time i thought i was registered for the class it turns out i wasnt.
i had never actually added it.
so when i said f**k it and dropped it (meaning i just stopped showing up) thats when i found out. and the only reason i found out was because my friend told me that out of the entire class, the assignment turned in, i had done the best! (and that i should really consider enrolling in the class!)
gah! i should really dedicate myself man.
as far as anything else, ill leave that alone.
i hate discussing politics and why america is the greatest or the shittiest.
everyone has their own opinions and you are entitled to em!
stand up for what you believe in. just dont start a war over it.
i just wanted to share my eureka moment!
let me know what eureka moments you've had!
thanks for readin!!! (:
or should i say: merci pour la lecture. (im not guna lie, i used google translate!)

original thought: "cant i just come to the effin gas station and spend my $30 on gas that will last a day peacefully without being offered $3 chocolate!?!!!"
thought after i bought it: "where the hell has this specific chocolate been at all my life!!!?"
kid asked me if i was having a great day and i said yea (i mean nothing extra ordinary but you know) to which he replies "i know you are i can tell by your smile!"
look, i know. he gypped me with that...but technically i won!!!!
you better believe ima chase his ass next time i see him for some more of this chocolate!!!!

also the other day i got to thinking....doesn't he get bored in his teeeeny tiny ass bowl!?
to which i then decided that the only way to correct that was to make him a scenery background.
(i know, i need a life. or some friends at least!)
61}
i know i havent been posting my Sunday hike posts but with my dumb ankle and fear of discovering new hiking places all by myself (ill hike where evers, just in a group!) i have taken to running at long beach.
i love that path. 3 miles easily plus that uphill run also! (i don't run it all at once....I'm working on that!) but its just nice to have a place to go and run and have time to think.
i also love that I'm beating myself up for the days that i don't go!
that's always good!!!!
thanks for reading guys!!! (:
have a great rest of your weekend!
you are all awesome!!! :D
heeellooooo marrrch! you beautiful little monster.
as i am typing this its raining and thunder storming outside. for those of you in California, as scary as it sounds, you know its needed! (hence the picture i used!)
i love it!
i love the rain!
its awesome.
I'm stuck in my room doing french homework and studying for another test on Wednesday.
a "not-open" book test. so i REALLY have to study!!!! i think the numbers are whats killing me like the 60's and up.
any who, so far 2014 has been calm and quiet and maybe that's what i need and that's okay.
next month i have Vegas for chach's birthday and in may i have the sounds with Vera wooohoo!!!
so far (random) i have gone to the movies in January & in February.
I'm thinking of making it a once a month thing because i don't go very often.
in fact, ask me anything movie related and i probably will not know what you are talking about!
yep, that's me.
seeing as how i have a butt load of work and homework to do I'm going to cut it short.
just wanted to stop by and say hello and welcome march! :D
and to type up tomorrow's snapshot Sunday post while my sister is in a good mood and letting me use her computer!
thanks for reading!
Bring it on March!!! <3
