The Effect Of Gamma Rays On Man-In-The-Moon Mairgolds (TEOGROMITMM), Week One, And Other Random Reading

Doesn't the title sound like fun? Now, TEOGROMITMM isn't a "book," it's a play. Lily should play either Ruth or Beatrix. They should call Beatrix Bellatrix because I find it a more...threatening name with more history (Bellatrix Lestrange, sound familiar?) and would fit the character perfectly. Beatrix, Bellatrix, whatever. My favourite character is the bunny who  might be shot with chloroform- stops the heart instantly if injected correctly, used by Dr. Josef Mengele during the Holocaust on his "children" when conducting expiriments, deadly to any living thing.
So anyways, Tillie seems like an ok girl. I mean, who would ever have the guts to get up in front of an entire school in rags? Certainly not me...I hardly have the guts to get up in front of people I don't know (even orchestra concerts- believe it or not). And her science teacher seems really dedicated to her education, so I must salute him.
Ruth...well, she's what I call a prep. Of course, probably not a prep of current standards, but really? Smoking? "Devil's Kiss" lipstick? Come on, crazy! Clean up your materialism ASAP! And then Nanny... I wish she could talk.
This play is much better than Habibi (although you can't get much worse), and much easier to read than the Odyssey or Catcher in the Rye, but not as gripping as Night. I love that book. *sigh*

Bad news: I have a really good new novel idea and not enough time. I am completely obsessed with this new idea (main characters: A.P. Swann and her best friend Rose DeWitt, hometown, Holland, MI) and OH MY GOSH I LOVE IT. So Swann sends Rose her old laptop which she's used for years a sa sort of diary, since they were in middle school. And Rose ends up reading it all, which is basicallly the story of Swann's life, and at the end of the book we find out that Swann is dead, but knowing what was going to happen she sent Rose her laptop so that someone would be able to figure out who killed her. And here's the awesome thing: Swann's life is based off of my life expreiences and potential life experiences, so I get tot make up my own imaginary future in which I marry the equivalent of Legolas. ^^,

In other reading, Sarah Dessen's new novel, Along For The Ride, isn't my favourite of her novels, but then again, I'm not really into it yet.

I started TH1RTEEN R3ASONS WHY by Jay Asher this week...gorgeous book. So heartbreakingly sad, good inspiration for my new novel. Unfortunately. This is addicting.
