"For the first time, he heard something that he knew to be music. He heard people singing. Behind him, across vast distances of space and time, from the place he had left, he thought he heard music too.

...But perhaps, it was only an echo."


- Lois Lowry,
The Giver, Ch. 23

“What if we had ideas that could think for themselves?
What if one day our dreams no longer needed us?
When these things occur and are held to be true, the time will be upon us
The time of angels”

Doctor Who 5x04 - The Time of Angels

I'm not weird, I'm just very awkward

When you're a kid, they tell you it's all 'Grow up. Get a job. Get married. Get a house. Have a kid, and that's it.' But the truth is, the world is so much stranger than that. It's so much darker. And so much madder. And so much better.


Midget small, ultra blonde hair, blue eyed and fidgety.
I'm not weird, I'm just very awkward. The worst part of being as awkward as i am is that i know I'm doing it. I know I'm being irrationally awkward but i can't stop, it's something i swear that's been hardwired in me since birth!

If anything i'm a reader.
Weddings, school trips, family outings, family meals, birthday's and what have you, my mum would have to search and question me before such events. Because if she didn't, then the book would be hidden inside some pocket or other and as soon as whatever it was got under way i'd be found in a corner reading. That's just who i was. I'm not weird, i'm just very very awkward, i have suffered my whole life from being misunderstood, but I would have suffered a hell of a lot more if i had been understood....

Now back to the present, i'm 16 years old and slightly grazing the tiny height of 4ft 10 (yes, midget) i'm attending collage... And well lets just say it's rare now for me not to have at least a small book with me wherever i may go.

I will eventually grow up and live a life people approve of....(maybe) =P

Uglies by Scott Westerfeld




Uglies by Scott Westerfeld
---

Everybody gets to be supermodel gorgeous. What could be wrong with that?

..Everything! This book is unnerving, in a good way.. :D

I'm currently reading Uglies (book 1),
and I'm really surprised that I'm actually enjoying it,
not only that I'm getting slightly addicted to it.

The reason I'm surprised is just down to the fact that I've read so many bad reviews on the Uglies Trilogy. Though at the end of the day obviously my curiosity got the best of me and i went out and ordered the book.

I was slightly/very wary when i read the first line..
--"The early summer sky was the colour of cat vomit."--

..My initial reaction was "Oh no! What? Cat Vomit? Seriously???" ... XP


Well, anyway i got passed it and carried on.
Finding myself getting carried away into the story...

The fact that I'm enjoying it makes me think most of the 1,2 and 3 star reviews were maybe taking the book out of context, instead of enjoying the book for what it is, if you know what i mean.


What are your thoughts on the Uglies Trilogy?

Do you like the book/s?

Are you thinking about picking up copy up?
