This One Time...

nobody@vox.com(Angela Spangela) — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 17:37:33 -0400

In the cafeteria. Me and Maria decided it was a good idea to put on some Hootie and the Blowfish. I don't think everyone was too psyched about it.

Also, new rule: tell the truth. I know it seems like it's one of those common sense kind of things but I've encountered far too many guys lately who are nothing but double-talk and lies. Over.it.

Because Who Doesn't Read Two Books in One Day?

nobody@vox.com(Angela Spangela) — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 23:29:55 -0400

I think I'm going to have to limit myself with one book/reading update per week. This is out of control. Haha. But seriously - you need to read this series if you haven't already!

1. Marked - House of Night Book 1 - P.C. Cast
2. Betrayed - House of Night Book 2 - P.C. Cast
3. Chosen - House of Night Book 3 - P.C. Cast
4. Untamed - House of Night Book 4 - P.C. Cast

19. Moon Demon – Daughters of the Moon Book 7 – Lynne Ewing

20. Possession – Daughters of the Moon Book 8 – Lynne Ewing

21. The Choice – Daughters of the Moon Book 9 – Lynne Ewing

22. The Talisman – Daughters of the Moon Book 10 – Lynne Ewing

23. The Prophecy – Daughters of the Moon Book 11 – Lynne Ewing

24. The Becoming – Daughters of the Moon Book 12 – Lynne Ewing

Since I haven't posted an update in a while I feel like I'll enlighten everyone as to the goings on in my life.

Overall things are good. There are certain things I wish I could change and others I wish I had more control over - thus is life. School is good - or at least as good as it can be. Things with my internship are awesome. I love the ladies I work with and even though I feel like what I'm doing isn't teaching me anything I am learning a lot from them, even if it's just random lessons about life through their day-to-day conversations.

Things on campus have calmed down in the sense that, as of right now, people aren't interested in my personal life. I'm hoping to keep it that way for the rest of the semester. I can't deal with another breakdown like the one I had before Spring Break.

Maria and I went to see Katy Perry last night. She.was.awesome. I had my doubts because of what people were saying about her performance at the Grammy's but she truly put on an awesome show. The opener, The Daylights, was also awesome. They have kind of a U2 sound but more of an Indie feel.

Other than that nothing exciting going on in my life. Just trying to make it through each day to May 17th when I don't have to deal with this whole "school" thing again - or at least until I decide I need it.

Hi. My Name is Angela and I'm a Readaholic.

nobody@vox.com(Angela Spangela) — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 12:08:45 -0400

Since I've started reading this series I can't.stop.reading. I'd rather read than do my homework, I'd rather read than nap, and I'd rather read than do anything I should probably be doing. Hey, at least I'm not napping as much!

1. Marked - House of Night Book 1 - P.C. Cast
2. Betrayed - House of Night Book 2 - P.C. Cast
3. Chosen - House of Night Book 3 - P.C. Cast
4. Untamed - House of Night Book 4 - P.C. Cast

19. Moon Demon – Daughters of the Moon Book 7 – Lynne Ewing

20. Possession – Daughters of the Moon Book 8 – Lynne Ewing

21. The Choice – Daughters of the Moon Book 9 – Lynne Ewing

I.love.reading. I've started the 10th book in the series. I'm hoping by Friday I'll be through book 12. I have book 13 on request from another library. I borrowed the first book in another series I want to read yesterday, too. And Maria has all of the Philippa Gregory books in her room for me to read. There's no way I won't make my 150 books for 2009 goal!

Another Book Update

nobody@vox.com(Angela Spangela) — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 09:27:15 -0400

I love that I've found a series that I like to read. I've missed reading. The escape from my reality is fantastic - it's becoming a bit too much with graduation creeping up on me. IDK what I'm going to do when I'm done with this series. I guess I'm going to have to commit to actually reading the books on my to-read list on Goodreads.com.

1. Marked - House of Night Book 1 - P.C. Cast
2. Betrayed - House of Night Book 2 - P.C. Cast
3. Chosen - House of Night Book 3 - P.C. Cast
4. Untamed - House of Night Book 4 - P.C. Cast
5. My Secret: A PostSecret Book - Frank Warren
6. The Secret Lives of Men and Women: A PostSecret Book - Frank Warren
7. PostSecret: Extraordinary Confessions from Ordinary Lives - Frank Warren
8. A Lifetime of Secrets: A PostSecret Book - Frank Warren
9. Stargirl – Jerry Spinelli
10. Love, Stargirl – Jerry Spinelli
11. About a Boy – Nick Hornby
12. Goddess of the Night – Daughter’s of the Moon Book 1 – Lynne Ewing
13. Into the Cold Fire – Daughter’s of the Moon Book 2 – Lynne Ewing
14. Nightshade – Daughter’s of the Moon Book 3 – Lynne Ewing
15. The Secret Scroll - Daughters of the Moon Book 4 - Lynne Ewing
16. The Sacrifice - Daughters of the Moon Book 5 - Lynne Ewing
17. The Lost One - Daughters of the Moon Book 6 - Lynne Ewing
18. I was a Teenage Fairy - Francesca Lia Block

I'm beside myself about picking up the next couple books in the series that I've been reading. I *highly* recommend it to those who like YA Fiction. They're fast reads and the story is super captivating.

Jury Duty

nobody@vox.com(Angela Spangela) — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 11:42:53 -0400

When I came home last night I saw that Padre left my mail out for me. Sitting on top was that lovely envelope, letting you know before you even open it, that tells you the time has come to "perform your civic duty."

This is the fourth time since I've turned 18 that I have received this envelope. The past three times I've been called as an alternate. This time, however, I'm being called as a legit potential juror. I'm excited, only because that means I won't be receiving this envelope for another three years.

Secretly, I'm also hoping that I'm called for something that Mike has done and I can be like 'Uhm, I almost married that scumbag.' Yeah. I'm pretty sure I need help. Haha.

Consideration

nobody@vox.com(Angela Spangela) — Sat, 14 Mar 2009 21:35:55 -0400

1: continuous and careful thought <after long consideration he agreed to their requests>
2 a: a matter weighed or taken into account when formulating an opinion or plan <economic considerations forced her to leave college>

b: a taking into account

3: thoughtful and sympathetic regard
4: an opinion obtained by reflection

We're going to focus on definition number 3. Thoughtful and sympathetic regard.

It's awesome when someone who has shown you little to no consideration tells you that you should have consideration for others. It's actually somewhat ironic, if you ask me.

Side note: I'm over guys.

Curveballs

nobody@vox.com(Angela Spangela) — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 23:31:38 -0400

Side note: Have you ever wondered why there's so many sports metaphors for life?

How do you deal when you find someone you mesh with so well but neither of you are capable of being in a healthy relationship together at this point in time? It kind of sucks. But at the same time it's nice to know that there's someone out there who really does like me and maybe some day it'll all work out.

Being home for break this year is weird. I'm not really on a break because I'm going up to my internship Monday, Wednesday and Friday but I do have a break from living at school which is really what I need. I'm in a better place than I was earlier this week - surprisingly because of Padre. We talked about what was bothering me and he was really responsive in a way that I didn't think he would be able to be. I feel better about a lot of the stuff that was bothering me and where I left my relationship with my mother.

I'm feeling good. I'm feeling great. I'm feeling wonderful.
