The Joy of Books

I started this blog because my friend was telling me about a blog she has and it sounded like so much fun. I started this blog mainly because I liked decorating it. The my friend and I decided to make a blog about books with another friend of ours. Our blog is about books because we all love reading and go to some sort of book store at least once a week. We have long lists of books we have read, books we want to read, and books ot suggest for others.

Some times we come across other book lovers but often times people look at us like we are crazy for stayin up until 3:00 in the morning reading. They don't understand how that we get so caught up in the book we still think it is only 8:30 or that the book is so good and we are so close to finishing that we just have to finish it tonight. Books are awesome and everyone should take some time to read a book, any book!

This is a video that I saw and has become really popular and is a lot of fun! It is called The Joy of Books:






Anyone who says they have only one life to live must not know how to read a book. ~Author Unknown

Veronica Mars

My post on Alias inspired me to do another post of a show my sister got me addicted to. Veronica Mars. This show is also really awesome. It is about a girl who uses her investigative skills to solve her best friend's murder and other mysteries thoughout the series. This show got me hooked from the beginning. I love Veronica, she is a strong female character that is not often seen on TV.

While I was in class one day a was on the internet and I saw an artice on televisionwithoutpity.com about Veronica Mars. The article was about how Veronica is a good show for teenage girls to watch and I agree. I really like this article and have read it a couple of times. Here is the link to read it which I highly suggest.

Now for lots of quotes: Quotes from imdb.com    I put lots of quotes in again,  couldn't help myself.

Wallace: I suddenly feel like I'm in a scene from "The Outsiders".
Veronica: Be cool, Soda Pop

Meg: You believe me, right?
Veronica: You are the last good person here at Neptune High. I believe cartoon birds braided your hair this morning.

Keith: How's about an early peek at one of your Christmas presents?
Veronica: What about our strict "Christmas morning only" rule?
Keith: This Christmas, we make our own rules. Follow me!
Veronica: [following Keith to her bedroom] I'm so impressed you fit a pony into my room!


Meg: All of a sudden everyone's running up to me, saying how they never believed I did those things...
Veronica: I'm glad. Funny, no one's come running up to me.
Meg: It's because people are afraid of you.
Veronica: Then something's working...


Veronica: Look at you, all helpful.
Logan: Hey, your peskiness being unleashed on Conner brings me joy. Annoy, tiny blonde one, annoy like the wind!

Jackson Douglas: I hear you do detective stuff for people.
Veronica: I do favors for friends.
Jackson Douglas: I can pay.
Veronica: Sit down, friend.

Veronica: [surprising the Tritons with a camera] Hi, everyone! Say "repressed homosexuality"!

Mr. Tom Daniels: [walk in to find Weevil and Logan playing cards] Is this Reno or detention?
Logan: Can you believe the best of both.
Weevil: [Daniels takes away their cards] Oh, come on, man.
Logan: What the hell, we were playing a game here.
Mr. Tom Daniels: This is punishment gentlemen, not party time.
Logan: Well, that would explain the absence of balloon animals

Veronica: It's all fun and games till one of you gets my foot up your ass.

Troy: I'm Troy, by the way.
Veronica: I'm Veronica.
Troy: Really? Veronica. Okay, yeah, that does make a lot more sense.
Veronica: Makes more sense how?
Troy: Ah, it's nothing. I just should never listen to those guys. I mean, really, who names their daughter Trampy McBitch?

Veronica: You prank-called Mandy?
Lenny: What if I did?
Veronica: Well, I want to congratulate you. Shake your hand. Congratulations! You've been named the world's biggest cockroach. This award is given in recognition in your unparalleled lack of decency and humanity. Bravo. You're going to die friendless and alone.
Lenny: Hey, everyone knows you're the biggest...
Veronica: Shut up! If I want you to speak, I'll wave a Snausage in front of your nose. You use Mandy again to convince yourself you're not a loser, I will ruin your life. Got it?

Wallace: Oh, you don't even want to mess with me on that today. I just about murked my mom's lazy no-rent-paying tenant this afternoon.
Veronica: That guy is sleazy. So I hope murked means something bad.

Duncan: Great game the other night, man. 18 points and 8 assists.
Wallace: On the streets, we call those dimes.
Veronica: Streets? You live on the corner of Pleasant Valley and Marigold.

Veronica: If I ever die, do me a favor. Go on Oprah and tell the world that I loved kittens.

Cliff McCormack: [to Logan] My name is Cliff, and I'll be your, "If you cannot afford an attorney" attorney.

Veronica: I saw Meg.
Duncan: What do you mean, you...
Veronica: Meg's pregnant.
Duncan: I know.
Veronica: You know?
Duncan: There was a letter, from her aunt. I guess Meg had asked to live up there and raise the baby.
Veronica: Oh my God, Duncan, how could you...
Duncan: Last spring, before we broke up...
Veronica: OK, stop, I was shown a diagram once, I know how it works. But you knew, and you didn't tell me?
Duncan: This has nothing to do with us.
Veronica: Oh, no! Nothing. Your secret illegitimate child gestating in the womb of your comatose ex-girlfriend affects neither you nor me.

Wallace: Underneath that angry young woman show, there's a slightly less angry woman who's just dying to bake me something.


Logan: Excellent. A bar so low we can step over it.



Veronica: If there's a justification for my actions right now, it's this: I have gone completely mad.
