Ruiner of Great Surprises

First off I want to say, thank you all for your support towards my resolution!

Dear World,

1. Warning: I don't write well. Maybe in the course of my journey I can be able to write a little bit better(:

2. I have a funny story to share. I went to the library because I really want to start reading Dear John, but of course all of the Dear John books were either checked out, being billed or lost. I was like great. I don't have any bookstores near me, so I was thinking where could I find Dear John for sale. TARGET! I rushed over there and sure enough it was on sale and 20% off! What a deal. I was thinking maybe I could convince my parents that this is what I really want for Christmas and maybe if I bought it they could pay me back. I called my dad and he asked my stepmom can she buy a book, my stepmom answered and she was like no you can't, I was thinking she might think it was too expensive or I should wait for it at the library. She calls me back saying you can open one present tonight, I was like uhhh why is she letting me do this. I come home and she's like some honor student you are. It turns out she already ordered off of amazon and wrapped it up as one of my presents. Man, such great timing! (:

Well its almost time for Santa Claus to come down people's chimneys! I hope everyone is enjoying these times with loved ones family or friends or maybe with a great book to read. All I know is I'm ready to start my adventure into Dear John.

Signed,
Great surprise ruiner

P.S. Don't take the holidays so seriously, laugh it up a bit(:

New Year's Resolution 2010

Dear World (or someone who cares),

Like many people I make New Year's Resolutions every year, but never keep them. This year I'm going to start off fresh. I just graduated high school Class `09 hoorahh!!! I just turned 18 and I'm at my first year of college. After graduating high school my life has had a down turn. For 2010 I am planning on turning a new leaf and get back to what I love to do. READ. It is funny how I forgot how much I love to read. It's sad how much Facebook and television has consumed my life. I am planning on changing that. I feel I have been getting dumber and dumber by the minute.

Resolution:

1. Bring reading back into my life.
(I'd tell you all of the rest of them, but I haven't even started to think of the one's I'll really keep)

GOAL:

Read all of the books written by Nicholas Sparks.

That makes it...
1. The Notebook
2. Message in a Bottle
3. A Walk to Remember
4. The Rescue
5. A Bend in the Road
6. Nights in Rodanthe
7. The Guardian
8. The Wedding
9. Three Weeks with my Brother
10. True Believer
11. At First Sight
12. Dear John
13. The Choice
14. The Lucky One
15. The Last Song

So that makes it fifteen books. I don't have a time frame, but I don't think I read slow. I would like to accomplish this goal, but if I don't please don't hold me to it. I might change my mind and only pick out the books that interest me, or maybe I'll read the books that have been made into movies and compare. All I'm saying is I have the right to change my mind. All there is left to do is pick which one I want to read first. (:
