    Blogging Personality

    Your Blogging Type is Kind and Harmonious


    You're an approachable blogger who tends to have many online friends.
    People new to your blogging circle know they can count on you for support.
    You tend to mediate fighting and drama. You set a cooperative tone.
    You have a great eye for design - and your blog tends to be the best looking on the block!

    Link: What's Your Blogging Personality?


    I think I would agree that my blogging type is kind and harmonious. I don't come on Xanga to cause drama or start fights with people. I come on here because I enjoy writing. So maybe I don't always blog about the most important things or anything like that, but I like to think that my blogs are pretty interesting and different from other bloggers. I just write about whatever interests me, whatever news article caught my eye, things I enjoy, what goes on in my life and other random stuff. I do it because I love writing and I try to make my posts the best I can. Sometimes I will spend days writing certain posts making sure everything is right and perfect. Blogging for me isn't about drama, it's just about writing whatever I want and I think it's nice that there are people that enjoy reading my blog. To really think that people out there enjoy reading my blog is pretty awesome and I thank you all for all the comments, recs, being my friend on here and all the nice things everyone has said.

    I also like to think the quiz was right about my showing support. I try to give support to whoever needs it because that's just how I am. I try to be a nice person and help people as much as I can. As far as the great eye for design goes, I am not sure about that. I don't know if my blog is the best looking, but I really like it.

  • Better World Books

    BetterWorldBooks.com is having a sale, you can get 4 books for $10 dollars. I think that sale might be this month only. I decided that while this sale was going on I would order some books. I ordered some manga because $10 for 4 mangas is cheap! For one manga book is usually $10 or sometimes more so I figured if I were to buy 4 manga books elsewhere it would be $40 dollars. So, pretty much I'm saving $30 dollars. The books in the sale aren't new, they are used, but used books are still good too. Anyway here is what I ordered:

    Revolutionary Girl Utena Vol. 1

    As soon as I saw this was in the sale I knew I was getting it. I've already read vol. 1, but I loved it and I'm trying to get all the volumes so this will be a start.

    The All-New Tenchi Muyo! Vol. 4

    I got this because I want to start getting the Tenchi Muyo! books. Tenchi Muyo! was a favorite of mine when it was played on cartoon network and since it isn't play anymore I figured I could at least get the manga and read it.

    Pokemon Adventures Vol. 1

    I wanted this just because I like Pokemon.

    Castle In The Sky Vol. 1

    This movie was amazing so I couldn't resist getting one of the mangas.

    That's all I ordered. For those that don't know, Better World Books is a website, where of course they sell books new and used, but the money you spend goes for a good cause. Your money helps fund literacy projects in America and around the world. They also do book drives and the money goes to help libraries and they save books from landfills. Better World Books has donated books to Books for Africa, Room To Read, Worldfund and a few others. I only found out about this website earlier this year. Some people were talking about it on Goodreads and I decided to check it out. I haven't bought any new books from Better World Books, but I've bought used because they are really cheap. Besides having the 4 for $10 sale, they also have the Bargain Bin and they have it all the time. In the Bargain Bin you can get 5 books for $15. I haven't bought any new books because I think that Amazon still sells books a bit cheaper, but Better World Books is good if you only have one book you want to buy because no matter how much you spend the shipping is always free. Where is with Amazon you get free shipping if spending $25 dollars or more. As far as used books go, Better World Books is the best place to go. I know I plan to buy more books from Better World Books in the future.

    Has anyone ever of heard or bought from Better World Books before?

    What I Ordered

    I just ordered some stuff from Amazon for my boyfriend. It was christmas presents for him so I can't say what I got him because I know he reads my blog sometimes, but I will say he is really going to like the stuff. And say, I am still christmas shopping for him. I haven't had much money and I was going to wait until I had more, but I figured I'll just get what I can get now with what money I do have. But, besides ordering stuff for him I ordered something for myself too. I couldn't help it; when I saw it I just had to have it.

    It was a Sailor Moon book bag and that is the best picture I could find. When it comes in the mail I'll take a picture and repost this so everyone can get a better look. But, when I saw it was only $11.99 I thought that was pretty cheap because every time I see anything that has to do with Sailor Moon it seems to cost so much. I can't wait to get it!

  • Library Books 51 Years Overdue

    A high school librarian in Phoenix says a former student at the school returned two overdue books checked out 51 years ago along with a $1,000 money order to cover the fines.

    Camelback High School librarian Georgette Bordine says the two Audubon Society books checked out in 1959 and the money order were sent by someone who wanted to remain anonymous.
     
    "It was just so overwhelming," Bordine said of her reaction when she opened the box.
    Bordine says the letter explained that the borrower's family moved to another state and the books were mistakenly packed.
     
    The letter said the money order was to cover fines of 2 cents per day for each book. That would total about $745. The letter says the extra money was added in case the rates had changed.
    Bordine says the money will buy more books, and the overdue books will be returned to the shelves.
     
     
    I thought this was an interesting little article. 51 years is a pretty long time, but the family moved and accidently took the books along with them so it wasn't like they meant to do it. At least they sent an money order to more then cover the charges, I think that was the right thing to do.
     
    I'm glad that I've never returned any books late or forgot to return books. My library charges more then a 2 cent per day fine, I think it might be 50 cents, a dollar or more a day if the book(s) are overdue so I wouldn't want to imagine how much someone would owe if it were 50 cents or a dollar a day. That's why I always make sure to return my books early.
     
    Have you ever returned library books late?

  • What Don't You Get About 'Don't Call'?

    My boyfriend, Marc, moved here over a year ago and since he's moved here he hasn't bothered with his family. It combines of a lot of reasons why he isn't bothering with them. A lot of it started before we even met. They've never treated him good and they've made it pretty known that even though they have never met me -- and seem to have no intention of ever meeting me -- that they do not like me. His grandmother one time pretty much told him she was worried about him coming here to see me because he could get hurt staying with a white family. He's never gotten hurt while staying here or anything. He also brought all his video games over here because his younger brother kept taking them without asking and would ruin them. His grandmother said not to bring them here because I would steal them or break them. First of all, I always take care of my own things so why wouldn't I take care of his? And second, how can I steal them if they are already here?

    His family really tried to control him. They wouldn't want him talking to me, his grandmother would take the phone from him and hang up on me. When he would have already had his train ticket paid for they would say they don't know if they had time to take him to the train station and there is really so much more that happened. So you can imagine when he decided to move here they weren't happy.

    The day he was moving in here his mom wanted to talk to my parents. At that time we had been together for over two years and all of the sudden she wanted to talk to my parents. He's not dating my parents, he's dating me and she hasn't even tried to get to know me at all.  We didn't let her to talk with my parents because we both knew what would have happened. She would have started a fight and we honestly didn't need that. His grandmother told him he needed to call them every week. Needless to say, when he didn't call every week they called my cell phone non-stop. And somehow his mom got the house number. We don't know how, Marc always called my cell phone for us to talk and he never gave his family the number so I have no idea how they even got it. Marc stopped calling because it was the same everytime; his grandmother would ask if he's mad at her, saying she worries about him etc then the phone would be handed to his mother and right off she would fight with him, saying he was giving her attitude and after she fought with him then the phone would be handed to his brother who would then try to make him feel bad about moving. He got tired of it and stopped calling. They called like crazy, but stopped calling my cell and started calling the house. For awhile they haven't called, but they do stop for awhile then start again.

    My mom said it would be a good idea to at least send his grandmother a letter to let her know that he is fine and why he won't call. He explained why he wouldn't call and said it was because his mom fought with him everytime. He said that he would call the house only if his mom weren't there and if he only talked to his grandmother ( The reason he will only talk to his grandmother is because she's the one being nice right now, but if he still lived at home it would be a totally different story). He also told her that his mom is not to call the house phone anymore. The letter was sent on Thursday of last week and they must of gotten it on Saturday because his mom called the house phone on Sunday and left a message for him to call her back.

    He told her to please not call the house phone. And she did it anyway. Before he even sent this letter she has also been giving out the house phone number to other people Marc knows so they can try and get him to call. Again, we still don't even know how she got the house number. But, what I don't understand is if someone asks you not to call, you don't call, right? The thing is, I have never been mean to his family. I've never met them, but different times I've talked to them on the phone I've never been mean or rude or anything even though I knew the things they were saying about me. I even wanted to go there and meet them and stay for a few days, but they told Marc I wasn't allowed to come over. I don't know why his family acts the way that they do and I've heard them say so many horrible things to him and all the things they've done to him. It's really terrible and makes me feel bad they treat him the way they do.

    Has anyone else ever had problems with their boyfriend or girlfriend's family?
