There once was a girl who resided in an enchanted castle. The castle contained everything the girl had once held dear to her heart. Pets, stuffed animals, and memories of warm summer days and cool December nights filled each room and hall. By day she would find new things to love; by night she preserved everything by tucking it away in corners of the castle.
As the girl grew older her castle filled with books, song titles, and movie tickets. Every now and then, if you walked through the doors in her halls, you would find the remnants of a special person in the girl's life; she kept the memories and qualities that made a person special to her.
One night she stumbled upon the figure of the boy she used to know. He lived far away from the girl in the castle now, constantly changing in the outside world. But in the castle the girl had preserved him carefully, remembering him only as he used to be. Approaching said illusion, she uttered the words "I miss you," and then her castle fell.
The bricks caved in and each story was brought down to the ground. From the rubble, the girl rose and found that all of her memories had vanished. The illusions that used to fill her halls and rooms were now only present inside her head. The girl's physical world now held only the truth of reality.
Atop the broken remains of the castle was a single index card written in the boy's handwriting: "I love you."

Books that I hate.
As a sequel to yesterday, I now want to make a list of books that I hate.
1. Twilight. This is literally the stupidest crap that has been put down to paper. The first book wasn't that bad, she should have let Bella turn into a vampire then. And then delete the other three books from existence.
2. Pride and Prejudice. I never finished this book. Because it got to a point where I literally hated ALL of the characters. I couldn't stand anyone and I didn't want to read about their lives anymore. I know that Darcy is supposed to be all perfect and whatnot in the end, but I freakin hated him and I don't think anything could have turned that around.
3. A Farewell To Arms. What in the world, Ernest Hemingway? If you don't want me to spoil this book for you, don't read this. But there isn't much to spoil until the last chapter. War war war war war, found a woman, got her pregnant, baby dies. She dies. I'm pretty sure his best friend dies too. He ends up alone walking in the rain. The end. It's depressing, and I don't think there's a point to it.
4. TTYL. I was fifteen when I bought this book thinking that is was soooo coooool because it was written entirely in IM. OMG it waz sooooo stupid. I think I read like 10 pages. And then I threw it in the garbage. Like, srsly.
5. The Shack. I couldn't finish reading this because it was poorly written. It might have been a great, uplifting story, but the narrator got on my nerves. Nobody cares that he was such an awesome writer that his friend chose him to write down his story. If he really was a good writer, he would just write. the . story.
Oh, and also every teenfiction book ever written. All of them.

Books I love.
I just wanted to share a list of my favorite books. So here we go...
1. THE GREAT GATSBY. If you know me at all, you know this is my favorite book. If you didn't, well now you know. I'll probably end up writing a whole post just on this at some point.
2. HARRY POTTER. I read the first 4 books in fourth grade, and went to the book premieres for 5, 6, and 7. This series taught me to enjoy reading. J.K. Rowling is a brilliant genius ironman-woman and I really want to meet her. I could also write an entire post about Harry Potter.
(at this point, the books are in no particular order.)
3. THE PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER. Stephen Chbosky is just an awesome person. Not only did he write the book, but he wrote the screenplay and directed the movie. Perks is just so full of truth and great quotes.
4. THE BELL JAR. I love Sylvia Plath. She's just insane, and I love the fact that she wrote a book about insanity. Love.
5. TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD. Boo Radley. Atticus. Classic, just classic. Never gets old.
6. ALICE IN WONDERLAND. Alice is just great, it's so random and imaginative. Love the book and both of the films.
7. THE HUNGER GAMES. That's right I like The Hunger Games. But mostly Mockingjay and the first Hunger Games. Catching Fire was just okay until the last chapter.
8. ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST. One flew east, one flew west, one flew over the cuckoo's nest. This book was funny, serious, and about a mental hospital. What more could you want?
I like a lot of other books, but those are my favorites. That is all. Carry on.
