24 Read all the way through, 9 more partially read
The BBC believes most people will have only read 6 of the 100 books here. How do your reading habits stack up??
Instructions:
Look at the list and put an 'x' before those you have read.
(I noticed that there were quite a lot that I had read portions of, so I put a / in front of the ones that I started but didn't, couldn't or haven't finished yet--mainly to make myself feel better.)

I'm alive
I just wanted to let you all know that I am still alive...school is killing me. I don't know if I'm going to make it through another year and a half of this garbage. But good news: I get to go back to Mexico this summer! Four weeks in Guadalajara...I'm going to try to use the thought of it to sustain me through this semester.

The Greatest Generation
Hi everyone. I'm writing today because I wanted to share something with you all. As some of you know, my mother's family lives in Colorado, in a town named Greeley. Well, recently the Greeley Tribune ran a series about World War II veterans living in Greeley, and they interviewed my grandfather and wrote a really nice article about him. I always knew my grandfather fought in the war, and that he was at D-Day and The Battle of the Bulge, but I never realized how incredible his story actually is. According to the article, when he landed at Utah Beach on D-Day, he was part of a company of 200 men, but only 6 of them survived the war. So basically what I'm saying is that you should read the article, because it's really interesting, and it's about my grandfather! He really is a hero, and I'm proud to be a part of his family.
The story can be found here. Read it.
Related: Crimes, I suggest you use this for reference as you begin drafting the screenplay for The Banana Pact, coming soon to theaters nationwide.

Crimes was right
Carey was right, that pornography post is too heavy for people to leave trivial comments on. So this can serve as a placeholder for now, until I eventually get around to maybe blogging again. Comments go here!
