Kansas? #1?

Last night Kansas was knocked down by rival Kansas state. The score was 84-68? number one Kansas lost by 16 to a non-ranked team? You may ask "Is this Kansas team still ranked number one?" YES! They are but should they? In my opinion number two Ohio State is a better team than Kansas. I say this because the only lose Ohio State has suffered is to tenth ranked Wisconsin. Overall Ohio State has a harder schedule than Kansas. Also Ohio State has a better defense and players; like Jared Sullinger. This is why I think Ohio State should be a higher ranking or number one.

Project 17

Upon Hathorne Hill, sits Danvers State Hospital. Built in 1878, but soon closed in 1992, the abandoned "insane asylum" is said to be the place where lobotomy was born. On the eve of the hospital's destruction, six nervous teens break in to spend the night and film a movie about what they experience. For Derik, it's an opportunity of a lifetime to win a filmmaking contest and save himself from a future of flipping burgers at his family diner, as a tradition. For the others, it's a chance to be on TV, or a night with no parents, or a chance to earn some extracurricular credits for college. But what starts as a dare quickly becomes a nightmare. Behind the crumbling walls, down every dark secret passageway, and every deserted room, they will unravel the mysteries of the souls who once lived there and the spirits who still might.

This chilling tale is definitely one of Laurie Faria Stolarz's best novels. 
5/5 stars, of course. 
*Sorry, Mackenzie, still going with the scares!!!*

Black is for Beginnings

The chilling series continues... in graphic novel form!
(May not seem too appealing, but still REALLY AWESOME!)
Future-telling nightmares, brushes with death, killers chasing her, Stacey knows that being a witch isn't all that great. Now all Stacey really wants to do is work things out with Jacob, and figure out her future. But before Jacob and Stacey can  face their future, they must face the past, that Jacob doesn't even remember. Things from the past reappear, like Jacob's old clingy girlfriend, and Maura's death. 

(Maura is the girl that Stacey used to babysit like, 6 years ago, who died.)

Not as actiony as the other books, but it's still cool!

Red is for Remembrance

I know you're alone...
Broken-hearted by her boyfriends tragic death, Stacey struggles through her first year of college, hoping that somewhere, anywhere, Jacob is alive. Stacey's nightmares are back again, and haunted with ghosts and misery. They reflect how she feels. Stacey's spells bring her closer to Porsha- a troubled girl with nightmares like Stacey, dreaming of death- and finding a mysterious boy in danger. But to save him, it shall take all the magic and strength that they have, and possibly even cost them their lives.

OMG It's like Antarctica over here.
I can't see my outdoor table it's so completely covered in snow!!! ~_~
My mom, brother, and I all shoveled half of our driveway and it took us three-and-a-half hours!
I couldn't even run a comb through my hair because there was snow in my it, and then the snow froze, and then my HAIR froze.
:P I look ridiculous.
Wow, my friend called me and then she was talking to me and her friends were talking to me and I was so scared because it was so weird. :O I'm so scared. They scared me. And now they just hung up on me.
Anyway... so I have a snow day today, and TOMORROW! This is like, the awesomest thing ever!
OK, the snow is really amazing. It is really high in some places, and low in some places, and my brother and I stood on the snow covered table and jumped off into the snow and that was really great
