A Short Historical Moment

Almost two weeks ago, my friends and I went to Pretoria Zoo. It was kind of like a late birthday outing. I've always wanted to go to the Union Building and so my dad took us afterward.
I've always loved history. Sometimes I loved it to such an extent that I felt like my friends thought I was crazy and they probably did, but I just can't help it. It's just so cool. One thing I loved about this place, was how it was kind of like one giant memorial. When you walk underneath these little domes, there are plaques up on the walls with people's last names and initials on.

Another awesome thing about this place was how beautifully maintained the gardens were. It was so lusciously green, all I wanted to do was lie down on the ground and make grass angels all day long. There were all kinds of pretty flowers and I could totally picture me and my friends chilling on the lawn and having a picnic. We couldn't of course, because that would be weird and disrespectful. I think.

Cartoonies!

Since my blog is still a little boring, I thought I'd share some of my best cartoons with you guys.

‹ This is Cooper. He's just a random character I created. I kind of like him because he tends to get very cocky, especially around girls, and he loves to scheme and cause all kinds of trouble. He's pretty smooth, loved by all the ladies, or at least most of them. He enjoys taking long rides in expensive cars and smelling fresh cash in the morning.

This lovely lady on the right is one of my best friends, Monique. She's sweet and kind and just about as soft as a bunny rabbit. She just loves to get all dolled up for a night on the town and just about every other occasion on her calender.


I'll have some more pics up for you guys later on. ♥

EVERYONE'S GOING TO DIE!!!

No, not everyone. I was kidding, but a lot of people are going to die. Innocent people. People you might actually grow to like.
Warning over.

I enjoyed this book. At first I thought because the movie was kind of Twilight-ish that the book would suck, but my notion was wrong. I found that I actually couldn't put it down. My friends taunted me endlessly during off periods because I'd rather read than talk to them. Now that I think about it, that may have been kind of offensive. Anyway, the way this book was written was kind of different, but so effective when it came to helping the reader visualize. All the gory scenes ran through my head like I was there watching it. Unfortunately. But it was still very good.

My Favorite Line:
Um... I honestly can't remember any awesome lines in the book, but being such a hopeless romantic, all the scenes with Valerie and Peter were my favorites. Now that I think about it, I have a favorite line:

"Peter..."

Yeah, I know. Very stupid, but whatever.

My Verdict:
Sure, you should read it. It may not be to everyone's taste. It's better than Twilight. Now that I've said that, go read the book. I'll be cowering in fear in the corner of my room, anticipating the angry mob of Twilight fans that are about to descend upon me. Tell my mother I love her! *Cowers in fear*
