The State of Blog
Oh good, I can finally stop thinking ’state of blog’ over and over again..
In other news: my fav. fashion blog of all time has left the building. 
. RIP A Serious Job Is No Excuse. DC will truly miss your advice.
However, I am super stoked to discover a Lurlene McDaniel blog and of course two new blogs about the baby-sitters club/young adult books I read when I was a kid.This ain’t no Gossip Girl people! It’s the real deal! Also I’ve only read up to book 3 in the Gossip Girl series because my sister stopped buying them and I’m totes ashamed to be buying GG books, yet I make a weekly trip to the (one very awesome) used bookstore to look for old books I used to read. I swear I had a ton, but somehow those disappeared and all that is left in my closet are my sister’s manga books. Ahem, anyway…
I’m pretty sure for one summer before I was 16 (before the driver’s license and something that resembled a life) I was obsessed with Lurlene McDaniel’s books. Probably because that’s what the library carried. I mean hello, what is not to love about cancer(possible death)+(possible) love interest?
Which is how most of them go. Girl gets cancer/life threatening thing+Girl meets guy with cancer/super-understanding/sick in another way and either the guy dies and leaves girl with a new lease on life/new understanding of life OR the girl dies. Cheery, these books are(n’t).
Not all of them were like that though, I remember one book where a girl had like tumors in her face and so she had to get them removed and it messed up her face and she was all ashamed of it and got made fun of at school and shiz. Then she met a guy in the hospital who was temporarily blind and got all emotionally involved with him…yadda yadda yadda…no one dies and actually ends on a somewhat happy note (the doctor thinks she can get plastic surgery to repair her face and the dude can see and is still going to hang out with the girl because the INSIDE is what counts, man.) I can’t remember anything about php to save my life, but this I retain. Way to go brain!
Anyway, I’m just excited to read that the McDaniel blog will recap the Amish books. So apparently, I needed to update this blog and inform the public…
And I’m intending to find cheaper looks for the whole Lucky (Feb. 2008 with Rachel Bilson) spring trends thing, because I have nothing else to do with this blog. Although, if I know the internet and I’d like to say that I do, that idea has probably already been done again and again. However, I’m okay with that because none of the blogs I read have done it. So there.
