Anime!

Hey everyone! I'm  going to talk about my to three favorite anime today. I recently got very interested in anime. I love how girls are so powerful and have such amazing costumes!!!!!!! I also like the crazy plots; you never now what is going to happen! So I would say my top three are, My Little Monster, Puella Magi Madoka Magica, and Yuki Yuna is a Hero. First I'll talk about My Little Monster.

My Little Monster
My Little Monster is a romance. It is a one season anime with thirteen episodes. I liked everything about this shows except for the ending. If there is going to be another season i'm happy but if not, aaahhhhhhh! The ending is infuriating. (To me at least.) The romance is between Shizuku and Haru. Haru has some problems. He likes to fight a lot and his mood can change severely within seconds. Shizuku on the other hand has no emotions. She is basically like a rock. She does well in school, doesn't help anyone, and is brutally honest. But they're soooooooooo cute! There are some love triangles, family issues, and fireflies involved in MLM. You should really watch this one if you love romance. It's so sweet.

Puella Magi Madoka Magica
This anime is probably my favorite. It's all girls except one guy and it's amazing!  The plot is a little slow in the beginning but as it develops it just gets better and better! The characters are all original and nice!!! I loved the tv series of Puella but the movies are not as good. My friends watched the last on the three movies and told how terrible it was. Don't watch the movies. The premise is this eighth grader Madoka can become a magical girl if she makes a contract with a weird cat like thing named Kyubey. But there's a catch...and you'll have to watch it to find out what it is!!!

Yuki Yuna is a Hero
This anime also has a slow beginning, especially the first episode but as the show goes on you start to see the plot. Yuki Yuna is a lot like Puella but its different too. Of course part of the plot is these girls have to save the universe and then other stuff happens. It pretty good. But don't watch the entire last episode!!! Stop watching five minutes before it ends and you will have a better ending.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens

"Ugh." That is the one word I would use to describe this movie. And yes, I know how many people loved it but I DIDN'T. The plot had terrible structure and seemed lost. The main character, Jay was very boring. She had no flaws and did almost everything perfectly. Also, there was no logical explanation for the end of the movie! The plot was, We have to find Skywalker! Don't let the first order get the map! Then, Oh no, we have to blow up this fire blaster thing before it blows us up! Then
within the last fifteen minutes they remember Luke! And R2D2 magically turns on. So I don't think you should go. I have been told that This first movie is just supposed to lead into the next two so just skip the first one. Don't waste those two hours of your life. The movie was completely predictible in every way. 1.5 out of 5 stars.

Stuff

Does anyone else despise school this time of year? It's like your teachers forgot about everything and have to squeeze it all in before break. I find this very annoying because there were times in September when we really weren't doing anything and we are behind now because of it. Okay, sorry about that rant I just had to get it out there.  Anyway, there is this amazing website called Teen Ink and you can publish you're writing on it! Actually it's not only writing if you are a photographer or artist you can publish stuff too! But, as you probably guessed already it's for TEENS ONLY. You do have to create an account to publish but you can browse without one. You should really sign up and check out my stuff too! My "avatar" name is Jonez.7 and I have some poems and pictures up. Teen Ink also publishes work in  their print issue every month! Please check it out, it's really cool!

Eleanor and Park

So sweet. This is the sweetest most meloncholy book ever. And, it's amazing!!!!!!!! I loved it so much. So far, all of Rainbow Rowell's books have been great. I read it basically in one night and one morning it was so good. And yes, it is a romance and if you don't like romances you won't like it; but if you do you HAVE to read it! It's the best romance I have read. There is some sad stuff but it's all good. And the end is very frustrating (to me at least) but sometimes that makes a book better. It was emotional. I like that kind of stuff and you may not so if you don't like reading slightly frustrating, sad, emotional, heart warming, music filled romance novels I suggest you don't read it.
I have to admit, I was crying in the end so be prepared. I loved this book, it's right up there in the top ten for me. PLEASE READ! It's adorable and amazing and perfect.  This is a must read.
The romance is a little unconventional but it completely works. I am very picky about books and I loved this one. Trust me, great book.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

         Oh my gosh!!!!! I haven't posted in soooooooooooooo long! I  feel really bad... :( But I'm posting now so...Yay!  I just read this amazing book. It's called Fangirl and it's by Rainbow Rowell. Fangirl is about a girl named Cath who is going to college. And guess what, she's a fangirl. Cath is a fan of the Simon Snow books. (a made up series) She writes fanfiction and is very popular. Cath has a twin named Wren and they are (used to be) best friends. But ever since Wren said she didn't want to be roommates with Cath they have drifted apart. Cath is lonely. Her roommate Raegan is crazy and
doesn't talk to her and Raegan's boyfriend is always at the apartment. Cath doesn't like college that much so far. It confuses her. This book is a great quick read! I adored it. There is a slightly sappy romance dispersed throughout the book but I enjoyed it. Now I'm going to post a boring story from school. Sorry.

I woke up late again today. My alarm went off and I slept right through it. Volleyball practice went way longer than it was supposed to yesterday, instead of being two hours it was three. Afterwards, Jenna, Claire and I went to the Starbucks on 5th. So, I got home at 10:00 pm. And now I’m late for school. I get up, pull on some decent clothes and head out, it’s only a ten minute walk to the one and only, Greenwich Middle School.

As I burst through those lovely green and white doors, the secretary says, “Late again Miss Jessie. What was it this time?”

“Volleyball went late. Can I get a pass to second period?” I ask.

“Hmmmm, you’ve been late a lot, missy. I don’t know if I can keep givi-”

“-please?” Now I’m practically begging for one of those purple passes. Ms. Equal with kill me if I’m late without a pass. She is so strict, especially with me. She hates me.

“Fine,” she starts filling out the pass, “but this is the last time, okay?”

“Got it! Thank you!” I clutch the pass and start walking towards my locker. The secretary is really nice. I should remember her name.  I rush to my locker and grab my things for math. Textbook, notebook, homework….Wait, did we have homework? I didn’t think so. I’ll be fine. I calmly walk to the room of the dreaded Ms. Equal. I look at the clock. Only six minutes late, not bad.

“Jessie! Where’ve you been?” Claire chirped.

“Nowhere Claire,” I turn to Ms. Equal and apologise, “I’m so sorry I’m late Ms. Equal. I slept in too much. My uh...Alarm clock broke.” I feel my face burn as I say that petty lie. My alarm clock broke? Seriously Jessie, you can lie better than that.

“Well I don’t give a fraction. Be quiet and go to your seat, front and center so I can watch you,” Ms. Equal practically growls. I walk over to my new desk, a little frightened. Everyone is looking at me, not cruelly, but sympathetically. Hm, did I forget something? Nope, I’ve got all my math stuff.

“You didn’t come in this morning, Jessie,” Ms. Equal hovers over me; I can smell her disgusting floral perfume. I had forgotten to come in this morning. I was confused about something yesterday and Ms. Equal asked me to come in. “Was there a death in the family or did you just, need some rest?” I could tell she was being sarcastic.

“I’m sorry, my volleyball practice went late,” I shuddered and hoped Ms. Equal wouldn’t get any closer to my face; it was getting weird.

“I thought your alarm broke.” Whoops: I screwed everything up. Now I’m really in trouble.

“It did but practice went late too,” I look away from Ms. Equal and see Mrs. Sun (the student teacher) from the corner of my eye; maybe she could help me out. “Hi Mrs. Sun, how are you?” I try to save myself with some small talk. But Mrs. Sun just pities me. She doesn’t say anything, but I know she feels sorry for everyone who has to endure the wrath of Ms. Equal.

“I’m alright, Jessie. How are you?” Mrs. Sun smiles. I smile right back. It makes me happy to see someone like Mrs. Sun. She brightens up the room with her cheerful voice.

“I’m alright too.” Then I remember the whole math thing. I turn to Ms. Equal, “I’m sorry I didn’t come in this morning. Can I come in this afternoon?”

“Okay, but you have to come today, alright? I have things to do you know,” she says to the class. Everyone giggles, including me. “I have a life. I don’t spend my days grading papers or looking at old yearbooks and drawing mustaches on the bad children.” Everyone was silent. Ms. Equal was doing this thing, when her voice gradually gets louder and louder. It’s really intimidating.

“Do you have your homework?” Claire slyly whispers into my ear.

“Was there homework? Oh no.”

“Uh, yeah! Dude, you’re dead,” she looks away.

“Is there a problem?” Ms. Equal asks. Claire’s right. I am dead, “What were you just saying, Claire? I would love to be included in the conversation.”

“Nothing…” Claire mutters under her breathe.

Ms. Equal turns to me and hisses,“Jesssssssssie.” Now she sounds like a snake; she slithers closer to me, her prey, “how was practice last night?”

Astounded by her interest in my personal life I squeeze out a response, “Good.”

“Did you manage to fit your math homework into your busy schedule?”

Shoot! Shoot, Shoot, Shoot! Right here in this smelly classroom I’m gonna die. I’ll just accept it. “No, I didn’t Ms. Equal. I’m very sorry.”

“What was the assignment?” she asks. Great, now she’s going to torture me with embarrassment.

“I don’t know.” I shuddered.

“Would everyone who did do homework please pass it forward?” Is the dragon going to let me go? Oh my gosh, I might actually live!

“Go to the office, Jessie. Now.” She points to the door. I leave. When I arrive at the office the sweet secretary greets me with kindness.

“Back so soon?” she asks. She doesn’t know I got in trouble.

“Yeah.”

“......” she doesn’t respond.

“It’s okay.”

Weird Ads
