Vocab part 2
I'm guessing this will take sometime so I'm be doin this in camp... haha... din wanna waste precious CV time at home to do this kind of thing. Anyway, its been a slow week and all... will say it when I actually can find the words to do so. On a side note, I've finished all 4 books of the Twilight series and seriously speakin, I cant find the need for all the hoo ha tat has been going around for these few weeks. I'm guessing the actor in the movie had a HUGE part to play adding to all the hoo ha tat has been happening. I have to say tat he looks delicious and all, this coming from me is quite a statement and for me to say this out loud will probably make my reputation go down the drain. haha... budden I oni say the truth ma... so Im ok with it.
I mean I dun discriminate between pple. My philosophy in life is tat pple are all different and tat we shld treat individual as he or she is and not make comparisons between. But I digress, the book series was not a bad read if u actually are bored but other than tat I doubt u would gain much insight on life, which I search for in books tat I read. I mean romance is one thing, the author emphasize a lot on the thoughts of the pple instead of the feelings which I was actually planning to read about instead of the usual I wanna read into your mind see what your thoughts are thingy.
