My practical paradise

Its nearing sunset and i'm on a beach with nice soft sand for miles around.  The suns strong rays are diluted by the soft clouds, moving lazily across the sky.  My friends will be here soon but i'm content just laying on my towel enjoying the cool gentle breeze. I turn my head to see a little crab running across the beach, charging at the water. It seems that sparkling diamonds were spilled into the ocean, the colorful fish adding to its beauty. Suddenly, i feel drops of water gently landing on my face, i marvel at the sky as it rains while the suns still out making the raindrops look like crystals falling and breaking as it hits the sand. I close my eyes and let the light rain wash away my stress and worries away, at this moment i don't have to please anyone, i don't have any responsibilities.It was just me.
All too soon, I hear engines running from behind me and car doors opening and slamming shut.  I turn to meet all my friends, each one has an excited smile on their faces and in their hands there are different kinds of snacks and drinks.  Someone brought a stereo and we start to play some upbeat music and enjoy each others company. As the sun sinks in the horizon, we have gathered enough firewood for a decent sized bonfire.  Almost immediately the night sky glistens with stars, the music as if on cue changes into something mellow and everyone sits around the bonfire feeling relaxed and just happy. happy to be around friends, happy to have no worries, happy with everything right at this moment.

that would be my PRACTICAL utopia. if we could write a blog about my utopia period, it would go on to a whole other level.

thanksgiving..already???

sheesh time is going by so fast >< the next thing i know i'll be 70 years old walking around with a cane. GAH, its like everythings going by too quickly and i feel that college is closing in on me. hard. and i don't like it. i don't like the idea of leaving everybody here and going off on my own to some big scary college and living by myself =/.  I feel like i'm growing up too fast and theres all these responsibilities that i have to face and talk about getting a job and which college i'm going to and blah blah blah. it sucks, its too much.  I just wanna take a pause and enjoy things for awhile instead of stressing out about everything.  I'm looking forward to the holidays and all (like thanksgiving and christmas) but then its just another indication of how soon it'll be a new year, soon i'll be a new age, soon everyone will have to say goodbye. =[

Novel

If I were to recommend a novel to my "UNC classmate" I would definitely recommend the Hunger Games.  Its a young-adult science fiction novel and it is definitely worth reading.  Its filled with adventure and unbelievable circumstances that will have you hanging off every page.

The book is about a girl named Katniss who lives in a corrupt world.  There were 13 districts that is mentioned and she lives on district 12, the poorest of them all.  District 13 was actually destroyed after it tried to rebel against the government.  In result of that rebellion, every year an event called the hunger games are held.  Every district is poor except for the capitol.  The hunger games is a way for teens to get some money and food into their district.  Each district then sends in two teens, one boy and one girl to participate in the hunger games which is held in a man-made arena.  Whoever wins the hunger games will win unimaginable riches and will never have to worry about being hungry ever again.  One catch though, you must kill all the other players, including your own district member.

DOESNT THAT SOUNDS AWESOME?!!! i totally am inlove with it and there are three books, i have read the second one and hopefully i get to read the third one soon. It's already out and i'm trying to borrow it from someone but i'm really looking forward to it.
