"Two years ago came news that the economy was in trouble. Back in the Pretty time, bubble heads could ask for anything they wanted and it would pop out of a hole in the wall, no questions asked. But the creative, free-minded, human beings are much more ravenous the Bubbleheads. But they, city council, voted for the reputation economy instead. From now merits and face ranks would decide who go the best mansions, the biggest wall allowances.”
So basically. The more famous you are, the more money you get. I think that’s pretty jacked up. The rich getting richer? That just doesn’t sound right! This book is the sequel to Uglies, Pretties, and Specials. I think that this takes place around three centuries from now. This is a pretty cool book and I’m really enjoying it. This is a fun series to read because he is a very descriptive on how he thinks the future is going to be like. Right now I’m talking to my computer through a microphone & it understands all of what I’m saying and writing it down. It’s a pretty cool. It’s being real pain because sometimes it doesn’t pick up the right words. L O L. Moving on, my question for today is, when does this book take place exactly? What year does this book take place?

Reading Blog
OK, well i need to catch up on these things. . .so here we go. C:The book I am reading right now is "Girl in Blue" and its really good! Its about this girl who runs away from home to join the Civil War disguised as a boy.
Q:"She was going to Flint, but she had another plan. So bold that when she brought it to mind it was like jumping into a cold creek on a hot summers day. And she could do this. she'd been studying on it ever since that day in early April when little Georgie Branwith came running across the creek waving a paper in his hand and yelling something about Fort Sumter and how troops were needed to help fight against the Confederates."
C:That so sounds like something I would do. Run away from home and join the army disguised as a boy. That would be some adventure. . . Q: Will they find out shes really a girl?? And what will happen if they do?

Midnight Sun
I am reading the sneak peek of midnight Sun. Its an entire 264 pages!! Yippee!!! I am only on page 20, but its really good!
"If I killed the girl first I would only have fifteen to twenty seconds with her before the humans would react, maybe longer, if at first they didn't realise what I was doing. She would not have the time to scream or feel pain; I would not kill her cruelly. That much I could give to this stranger with her horribly desirable blood.
But then I would have to stop them from escaping, I didn't have to worry about the windows, they were up to high and they were too small to provide any hope of escape. Just the door. Block it, and they were trapped."
Our beloved Edward Cullen has been having all these ideas, schemes, and plans trying to figure out how he can kill Bella. But every time he regains his control. Obviously. Its amazing how strong his thirst is for her. I mean he has lived off of his 'vegetarian' diet for seventy years now, but this one girl comes along and his inner monster is about to be unleashed. But I really like this book because you can really get inside his head. Yeah we all know whats going to happen, but its like an entirely new experience seeing it from his eyes. And others. Seeing as he is a mind reader, you can also get into other peoples minds. Like Jasper, he goes through so much excruciating pain because he is the newest to their 'vegetarian' diet. I cant wait to finish the end of this really long sneak peek and I am hoping she comes out with the entire book soon!!
Now my question is: What will his point of view be on the part where Bella almost gets run over, and will Stephine Meyer describe his trip to Alaska? Now if you have read this, please don't answer the questions OK? Well I am extremely tired, i just got back from my last show :( But there is another one coming up in May! :) Ha Ha. Can't wait to see you all tomorrow! Have a nice night!

Reading Blog on a few songs
Ok well I am going to do this blog post a little differently. But still in the QQC format no worries! Well I thought it would be cool to do the QQC on song lyrics. I mean it is poetry, and I have read them this weekend. I have also read my book, but I think this would be more entertaining. Oh and even better, I will put a bit of the lyrics up, but not the name of the song, so you guys can try and guess it. "Nobody wins when everyone's losing " I like that quote right there. Nobody wins when everyone's losing. Is it really possible to have everyone loosing? Doesn't there always have to be a winner though? But what if it's a lose- lose situation? Then it is impossible for there to be a winner. This reminds me of Alice in Wonderland at the Caucus Race. Everyone runs a race without knowing where they are running to or when it ends. It's a race that never ends, but when you finish, everyone gets a prize. But if no one knows where the finish line is, can anyone really win?? Ok one last one "Doesn't anyone here live an original life? It is referring to those that are considered to be in the 'popular' group or the 'in crowd'. Most just aren't original any more. Sure maybe at one point they were but they got so consumed in what was thought to be cool, they became plastic. Sure, they have a pretty face, but there is nothing there. There is no originality, no personality. "When you disappear they won't remember your name" I think has two meanings. So that means when you leave them, they won't remember you, they don't really care for you do they? But I think the other one is if you turn away from your real friends, to go to that crowd, then they will see you go through that change, and see you forget who you are and turn plastic. When you forget who you are, they will forget who you were too and only see your shell. Not what was on the inside. Because what is in the inside now, that's not you, that's what someone told you to think. Now my question to you is; Are you living an original life? Or are you living under the influences of others? Are you changing just to make someone think you are 'cool'? Just to be accepted? We all do it, but to what extent??
Or did you surrender to be on the inside,
When you disappear they won't remember your name
and you'll fade away till someone takes your place.
Takes your place
in the in crowd"
