Omigod, I'm pretty mad right now!!! Yesterday I hung out with one of my good friends, and  she was all sulky and freaked out about the 'boy situation', as she puts it. OMIGOSH. She really needs to lighten up and just have a good summer. And I'm happy one friend is gone, to like, China, Japan, Taiwan...I don't remember which place. Anyway, she's pretty annoying and she's always tagging along like she's actually a part of our group, which she's NOT!!! And she makes our lives miserable if we do something wrong or say she didn't draw a perfect line. which is why we all get super annoyed with her, and we try to avoid her. If all my friends want to become friends with her, fine. I'll go find different friends. but not that i'll have 2!!! cuz, I already have my best friends, and they all care about me, I'm pretty sure. It's just going to be that girl, Karlyn, who's always having to attatch herself to us and follows us around like a fly. She's like a tick in a dog's ear, meaning like it's something there, and it won't go away, and then finally one day, it's just gone. that's what i'm hoping will happen. and probably everyone else will get annoyed with Karlyn too, and they'll just ignore her (like me) and then she'll attach herself to someone else's group. WHAT IS SO APPEALING ABOUT OUR GROUP? Karlyn is just plain annoying and really useless, because she screams at you for no reason. plus, who says we have to like her? We don't have to do anything we don't want to do. Ugh..I guess I'm done with that. but theres also this-nope, i'm stopping!!! now i'm going to only say POSITIVE things in my next posts. :-) i'm in SUCH a good mood now-i'm not mad at all! yeah!!

check out the song "How Do You Sleep?" on iTunes.

 has anyone ever read The Clique series of books by Lisi Harrison? i just finished the first one, and it was pretty good! here's the back of the book:

BY LISI HARRISON:

Massie Block: With her glossy brunette bob and laser-whitened smile, Massie is the uncontested ruler of The Clique and the rest of the social scene at Octavian Country Day School, an exclusive private girls' school in Westchester County, New York. Massie knows you'd give anything to be just like her.

Dylan Marvil: Massie's second in command who divides her time between sucking up to Massie and sucking down Atkins Diet shakes.

Alicia Rivera: As sneaky as she is beautiful, Alicia floats easily under adult radar because she seems so "sweet". Would love to take Massie's throne one day. Just might.

Kristen Gregory: She's smart, hardworking, and will insult you to tears faster than you can say "my haircut isn't ugly!"

Enter Claire Lyons, the new girl from Florida in Keds and two-year-old Gap overalls, who is clearly not Clique material. Unfortunately for her, Claire's family is staying in the guesthouse of Massie's family's huge estate while they look for a new home. Claire's future looks worse than a bad Prada knockoff. But with a little luck and a lot of scheming, Claire just might come up smelling like Chanel No. 19...

The Clique...the only thing harder than getting in is staying in.

anyways, i've already finished the first one, called The Clique, and I just got the second one called Best Friends for Never. In all, there's 17 books, INCLUDING The Clique summer collection. They are really good, and if you haven't read them, you NEED to try them! I love the first book after reading just the first page! I would reccommend this to girls like, 10 and up. And there's also the movie for the first book, and you should check that out, too. And, the new Clique book just came out...Boys "R" Us!! Everyone says once you finish the first book, you've just gotta finish the series before you "get" it. So try the Clique!!

If I had to pick who I'm most like...probably a mix between Alicia, Massie, and Kristen. I'm not at all like Dylan! These books are GREAT, i swear!!!!
