So I read a lot of books about people and their problems with drug use. Or at least those types of books tend to find their way into my hands. I'm not sure how. I'm a fantasy adventure sort of girl but I can't resist a good hard-slap-in-the-face realistic fiction book.
This paticular book, Tweak...was painful. In a good way. The character, Nic, was real (which is good considering it was based off the authors life), his see-sawing through his addiction was incredibly frustrating and many a times I found myself shutting the book in exasperation. Yet, I always opened it back up because I NEEDED to know how it ended.
If you like the Ellen Hopkins books and Go Ask Alice then you'll like this AND will get the other genders prospective.
The book was easy to read and casual but not in a trying to be hip way, it read as if someone was TELLING you the story. It was a good choice, in my opnion.
"Isn't that the greatest gift in the world-just not to care?"
"As long as you look for someone else to validate who you are by seeking their approval, you are setting yourself up for disaster. You have to be whole and complete in yourself. No one can give you that. You have to know who you are - what others say is irrelevant."

My current desktop to celebrate HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE. So freakin' excited.
So, this past week I've been spending it with my bestie Kathy and her friends. She has this really talented friend who did all our makeup. With me he went really drag queen-ish and said "I'm sorry if I've made you look like a tranny."...sooo...
I don't have pictures of the rest of my friends makeup but I'll post as soon as I do.
I'd never worn fake eyelashes before, so my eyes kept going all wonky, haha.
Here is a picture of Kathy's makeup but it just does NOT do it justice.
I am a teenager. Living in San Diego, California striving for some enlightening. This blog will be for my rantings and posting things I like and find amusing.
