I think it'll be interesting to read back our posts once in a while. I can't believe we started this blog towards the end of 6th grade. And now we're nearing the end of 9th.
We've done some serious growing up, and we've still got a lot more growing to do. Each of us is going to a different high school, and despite all the hectic occurrences taking place in our lives, we all manage to make some time to post in the blog once in a while (though it takes some more provoking than others *cough* *cough*). Even if no one else reads this, I think one of the biggest audience members to this blog is ourselves. And I love that. I love you guys.
Sorry this music is making me such a romantic.
Speaking of romantic - IT IS NOW SAFE TO SAY I HAVE BECOME COMPLETELY OBSESSED WITH PRIDE AND PREJUDICE!! All this time I have always avoided Jane Austen because of my bad experience with reading Emma in 6th grade. I hated the stupidity of the protagonist so much that I had to stop reading the book. I now find out that that was the effect Jane Austen was trying to have.
Despite my violent and scary appearance, I happen to be one of the biggest romantics ever, and reading 18th-19th century novels only heightens my feelings. I don't want to give any spoilers away, so I'll stop right here. We are reading this book for English and I watched the 2005 movie starring Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen last night (meaning from like 1am-4am). I plan to watch all the versions of the book and make it a yearly ritual to read the book and watch the movie! (I'm pretty fond of rituals and stuff.) The movie went a little fast and didn't cover all the nuances in the book, but then again most movies based on books are like that. The movie was still really good! I suggest you watch the American ending to the movie - it is so much more fulfilling! This book deserves to be read countless times by each person!
READ AND WATCH IT Y'ALL!!
I haven't felt like such a romantic since I obsessed over Anne of Green Gables and The Secret Garden back in the day. XD
Pride and Prejudice is truly one of life's greatest pleasures, as my English teacher said before we started the book.

Oops spoiler alert! *chuckle*
