Prank Wars: Revenge Time

My counter-prank on Shrillz (because she turned my things upside down,) was to newspaper her bathroom. It had to be done quickly, because it was a Friday and I had things to do. Plus, she was only going to be gone for a short period of time.

Unfortunately, she came back to let her boyfriend in right as I was starting, but hopefully she didn't see a lot. In a weird way, it was almost better that she saw, so then she knew, when she went back to eat dinner in our school's cafeteria, that her bathroom was being completely destroyed somehow. Good stuff.

Because of this, I decided to do a little more. Instead of just completely covering her bathroom with newspaper, I did that and then took all of the sheets off of her bed and replaced them with newspaper. I also stacked a bunch of random things from her room on various bathroom fixtures.

Fortunately, Shrillz took a photo, since I have no camera.

(You can even see her microwave, full of random things, chilling out on the toilet.)

Anna and the French Kiss

     Sometimes, school is just boring as all hell, especially when only taking ONE literature class (Gay and Lesbian Lit, love that class to death). Sad day for this English minor. Therefore, I take the opportunity to read when I can. Usually it's young adult fiction and trash, but, like I tell the students in the (high school English) class that I assist at, it doesn't matter what you read, as long as you love it.
     So yeah, I read Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins. It was kinda beautiful, not gonna lie. The nice thing that separates the young adult genre from older books is its emphasis on the coming of age story, and this novel pulls this off with grace.
     The book takes place at a Parisian boarding school, aka the best setting ever. At first, Anna whines about going there, which is super annoying, but thankfully she overcomes that. It also deals with parent cancer and family issues in a realistic way (my dad had cancer, and I can definitely relate to the characters in this story).
     Oh, and did I mention that Etienne St. Clair, the book's resident hottie, is FRENCH, AMERICAN, and ENGLISH? Read it if you like young adult chick lit, it rarely comes off as cheesy (at least in my opinion), which is a rarity.

     In other reading news, my roommate has her 15 and 12 year old sisters over, and they are telling me about all of the books that they have read. It's probably the English teacher in me, but I think that is the coolest thing ever! It makes me so happy that kids still read.


Pick up a book dudes. Whip out your kindle. Skim a magazine. Read an online article. The back of a cereal box. A billboard. Graffiti on the side of a building. This blog (I am a little biased).
