The Lorien Legacies by Pittacus Lore - NOT A REVIEW

Like the title said, this is not a review. It's just some stuff I'd like to let out.

WARNING: Might contain spoilers. Read at your own risk.

(That made me sound like a guard dog. I don't know, it popped from somewhere into my mind. Yes, I might be crazy.)

I found out about the book when I saw the movie of the first book of the series (which was terribly terrible because they got stuff mixed up), I Am Number Four. A specific someone from my class said the movie was overrated, but I didn't care. You know who you are (I was about to wink when I realised that might be a bit creepy, so nah).

Just before my dad called, I was reading the fourth book, The Fall of Five. Turns out that Number Five is actually Number Five, not Setrákus Ra in disguise, and he's a traitor. A freaking traitor.

LIKE, WHO THE HELL DOES THAT?

I wasn't disappointed, really. But I was mad. Why would he do that? Why turn your back to the people you know wouldn't use you, the people you can actually trust? He knocked Number Six out of consciousness and tried drowning Number Nine by keeping his head underwater. Now he's having a talk with Number Seven and Eight, trying to persuade them into joining him and the Mogadorians into conquering (or actually, destroying) the Earth.

…And I haven't seen the rest because I'm too frustrated at Five to read anymore of his stuff. (I was going to say a bad word. I decided against that. This should be celebrated.)

I know I'm not making sense, as if the characters in this book were real. But this is me when I read a book, cope with it. -rolls eyes-

PS. If I used any sort of profanity in this post or any others, I'm sorry. Sometimes I think too quick (I don't think I even think) to process any of the word I said. It's a bad habit of mine, and I know Ms. H is probably sitting hunched at her desk with her mouth agape, thinking "She uses profanities? Wow." or something along that line. May I remind you that I use a lot of profanities when talking to my friends in daily life. I've even convinced myself that I am an amnesiac pirate trapped in the body of a 14-year-old girl. Still, sorry. Maybe I'll try to get rid of it. I said, maybe.

PSS. You probably won't understand since you haven't read the book. If you don't read books, at least watch the movie. At least you'll know who the bad and good guys are.

Blogging: Templates, Themes, and... Blogs.

A few minutes ago I opened my own blog and noticed that some stuff I'm supposed to have on the blog aren't there. Fortunately, it appeared like 5 seconds later (yay!) due to the super slow internet I have at school (just so you know, Indonesian wifi-s suck at being wifi-s.).

After stuff are fully loaded (not fully, like 98% but I'm too impatient to even bother), I can't help but compare my blog to the others', which are way more fancier, some cuter (I don't know if that's a word, whatever.) than mine. You'd also find mine much simpler than the other blogs, but I like simple stuff. I don't like overly-decorated blogs (or anything, for that matter). I'm not saying that my friends' blogs are over-decorated, I just don't like decorations so much. If I could just use one of the themes and/or templates provided by Blogger itself, I would. But my teacher said I should try to be more creative and put some more stuff on my blog (she didn't specifically say it to me, but she showed us a rubric, and that pretty much explains all.) so it won't be so boring. After looking at my boring, black-and-white blog, I decided to just snatch off some HTML code off the internet and put it on my blog (and made sure it looked fancy and appropriate for school, but still to my liking.) so I can at least have a score for that.

I was lucky the template of the theme matched the stuff on my blog which contains mostly rambles and random playlists.

No, wait. There's only one playlist.
Or not.
I think I'm gonna post some more playlists sometime in the future (and probably when I have the internet connection back at home.)

Enough of that blog theme ramble, what I'm trying to say here is, try to make your blog a reflection of yourself. Assessed or not, your blog is a reflection of your personality. If you're not yourself, don't expect others to be themselves around you too. If you're assessed, you should try to reach the highest score possible, but don't push yourself so hard. Make sure you are yourself in every way.

Good luck, bloggers!

PS. Did that make sense?
