Everything is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer.

It's really beautifully written, however difficult it may be to follow at some points. It is definitely not a quick read, but it's good to read while reading other things as well!

so much fun.

sunday night i saw my favorite band at the wicker park fest! the name of the band is fun. fun. haha so much fun.

so anyway, fun. is seriously the best band i have ever heard and their concerts are so much... FUN... because their fans love their music so much. the lead singer, Nate, has an amazing and distinctive voice and writes the most beautiful lyrics.

I went with my friend Ann and her friend Christian and we had so much FUN. Haha, some puns intended.

Me with Ann at the concert!

Me with a creepy looking Nate!

hello, harry potter lovers!

i just finished re-reading hp6. in celebration, here you go:

nasal spray, anyone?

Has anyone used nasal spray before? This is the first time I've used it and I think I did it wrong for the past week... It would run down my throat after I sprayed it... Today I tried aiming it to the back of my head... is that what you're supposed to do? Haha thanks for any help!

"Much to Yankel's dismay, Brod insisted on cutting that thick black hair herself.

It's not ladylike, he said, You look like a little boy when it's so short.

Don't be a fool, she told him.

But doesn't it bother you?

Of course it bothers me when you're a fool.

Your hair, he said.

I think it's very pretty.

Can it be pretty if no one thinks it's pretty?

I think it's pretty.

If you're the only one?

That's pretty pretty.

And what about the boys? Don't you want them to think you're pretty?

I wouldn't want a boy to think I was pretty unless he was the kind of boy who thought I was pretty."
