[ the blahs ]

I kind of feel stupid.

Today before me and my sisters and Tito Raul went to the library, the neighbor, who was a white guy called 'The Boss', said "Somebody lose a shower cap?" I had no idea what he was talking about and so I said, "No". Then I realized he was holding a transparent plastic bag that did kind of look like a shower cap. I said "Oh, that's a big one," the same time he said "It was a joke".

Right.

Boy boy boy boy. It's one of those embarrassing moments I can't help but replay and cringe at. Oh, well. At least we'll probably be moving out next week. And he doesn't know who I am anyway.

So then we went to Port Union, which has a really small library with a big circular glass window at the side. The whole teens section consisted of exactly one shelf. With such limited choices I was forced to read the backs of books and it took me a really long time to decide. Finally I picked two chick lit ones and checked them out. I was stuck on whether or not to borrow The Princess Diaries VII, but I'd already read parts of it before.

I've actually just finished reading the first one, I Am the Wallpaper, which is a really good, funny book. I'd like to see it made into a movie. Floey Packer, the main character, was easy to relate to because she's experienced many mortifying moments, like me, though she did not make her own site to write of her own will, unlike me. Unfortunately for her, her diary is posted on the Internet by her cousins and suddenly she's not a wallpaper anymore. Being a nonwallpaper has consequences though - everyone knows everything about her, including her crush on her best friend. Recommended for the regular teen. It's a laugh-out-loud book with its own moments. According to a review it could be put alongside Louise Rennison and Paula Danziger, although the person who wrote it was a guy. Amazing.

In due time I will post the details on our trip to the Niagara and other stuff, but for now you're going to have to be contented with the pics (and no story) of Kuya Chris' wedding. It was a lot of fun. :)
