***The second round of voting is still open in my last blog, if you havn't voted yet, please go do so now***

Okay, so as some of youthat live in Canada or the States mayknow, this month there is something very important going on, it's called the Relay For Life, to support the Canadian (and American) Cancer Soceity, and those of have passed awaydue to cancer. Fot those of you who do not know what this is, bacically, people sponser different people from their comunity to stay up all nightany walk around a set track, and all the money goes to cancer reaserche. People buy luminaries for cancer survivors, or for those who have survived cancer. Thegoal is to keep the candles burning all night long, they repreasent hope for those who are fighting with cancer. It's always something thats very important to me, because I'm a cancer survivor, and it's important to never give up trying to find a cure, or to stop fighting, because sometimes all we have is our hope. So please, sometime tonight, light a candle.

Hey guys, so the winner of the last vote is choice #1, my blog, although it was very close between that and the forums. So now its time to vote for the first round of books. This is how it will work, you vote for 2 books this round, and 2 books only. The top 5 book at the end of this round will be the first 5 books that we read. Last vote, it was a bit hard to figure out that some people were voting for cause they put multiple votes, so if you could please put "My votes are for _______ and _______", it would make it so much easier to count the votes. There are a few book that I took out of the list, such as the Bible, The Brothers Karamazov, Harry Potter and I Ching. So here's the list of books....

• After all these Years 
• Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
• Are You There, God? It's Me, Margaret

So this week wasn't all that great, mostly cause of my computer problems, my exams are coming up in 2 weeks, so I'm studying like crazy. I went to see Pirates last night and I loved it! An amazing movie! I wrote this down realy quick after seeing it, "To laugh so hard that your stomach hurts, to cry so much you think your eyes will swell shut, to be so scared that you just want to cover your face with your hands and hide forever. To feel these three things with in the limits of two and a half hours is an amazing thing, and very few movies ever acheive it. But this one did. It is nothing, and it is everything, but the clasic and ultimate story of good vs evil, man vs fate, and the notion that love concures all." Kind of cheesy eh? Oh well, it's a great movie.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

edit: so its like midnight now, and i'm bored out of my mind, and i want to go to bed, but i can't cause i'm at someones elses house babysitting, and i've still got 2 more hours to go. im so tired that i cant even find it in me to press the shift button to capitalize my letters.... now thats sad. oh, its now been sunday, may 27 2007 for 7 minutes. god, i feel like im gonna fall asleep in my chair right now, and theres no one on msn to talk to... so if theres anyine out there who really has nothing better to do with there time, go ahead and add me cause i really need to talk to someone, its i_have_know_brain@hotmail.com, yes, i know, very strange email, i picked it when i was like 10 and i havn't changed it yet. god, coffee would be so nice right now! im stuck with water and orange juice.... i hate orange juice especially that stuff with the little things at the bottom, i cant remember what there called, i think it starts with a p. oh well. please, if anyone reads this in the next 2 hours, please comment or add, i need something to do so i dont collapse.

I'm so sad right now cause Wednesday night at like 11 my computer totally crashed and it only started working again today. Every single thing that was saved on my computer is earased, everythings gone. I literally started crying, I'm still so sad. I also missed the Lost Finale Chat, which I had been looking forward to for like a month. I'll try to put up the next round of voting somethime later today or tomorrow. I'm rewatching the Jacket Kiss on repeat right now, so thats helping me cheer up a bit...

Hey guys, I'm back, and I had a great time on my trip. So, I knoe I said that voting for the book choices would start on Monday, but I decsided to oush that back a few days and vote for were we have the discussions now. So here are the choices....

1. We have all the discussions on my blog
2. We rotate blogs, a diferent person hosts it each week
3. We open a new acount and we use that to have all the discussions, we would take turns posting the blogs, etc...
4. We have them on the Lost forums (I already asked Sabot)

So I think I have all the options, but if I forgot one, just tell me and I'll add it to the list.

Voting stops once everyone has voted. 

------------

Edit- (no spoilers) Ok, so I just read the HUGE spoilers for the finale, even though I had promised not to read them, but OMFG!!!!! That has to be the biggest thing to ever happen on Lost!!!! I almost started hyperventilating after reading them! So for all you people who are trying to decide if you should read them, DON'T!!!! You will so regret it, I so wish that I had never read them because they are THAT HUGE! Lost is never going to be the same after this finale. SO DON'T READ THEM!!!! That is your last warning, so if you do decide to read them, make sure you have someone next to you ready to call 911. Only 2 days till the finale, don't give into them, it's much better to leave them a surprise. And for all you people saying they don't want another Jack-back, wash your mouth out with soap, cause this is gonna be the bast f***ing episode ever!

------------

Edit #2- I would put this in a new blog, but i want to wait till everyone has votes until I make a new one... so here is a little banner that I made really fast....

-----------

Edit #3- So I just created a new acount (just in case i ever get banner ) and I tried to post on the forums, but when I ever I try it tells me that I'm no autherized to submite messeges on these boards. Have any idea what thats about?

Okay, so I am SO happy that I had so many people sign up for the book club, which means that it is most defiantly a go! I've been thinking a lot about how it's going to work, and I want all of your guys input on this, this is what I was thinking... It will either start on June 6th, 20th or 27th.  I'm kind of leaning to the 20th or 27th though cause of my exams (which I have yet to study for :S).

We would be reading 1 book over a 2 weeks period. I know some of you still have work to go to, and some people go on vacation or day trips during the summer, so I thought 2 weeks would good. Plus, some people are slow at reading, and some of the books are rather long to read in one week.

f we started on June 20th, this is how I was think we could do it, (again, tell we what you think, this is just a rough estimate that will probably be change a lot depending on what everyone wants)-

• June 20th- July 3rd: Book 1
• July 5th- July 18th: Book 2
• Take  a two week break due to the release of the new Harry Potter book and the many people who will want to read it (me included )
• August 1st-August 15th: Book 3
• August 16th- August 29th: Book 4
• August 30th- September 12th: Book 5
• September 13th- September 26th: Book 6
• September 27th- October 10th: Book 7
• October 11th- October 24th: Book 8
• October 25th- November 8th: Book 9
• November 9th- November 21st: Book 10
• November 23rd- December 5th: Book 11
• December 6th- December 15th: Book 12 *This would be a short book, as it would only be a bit over a week
• Take a 2 week break because of holidays (Christmas, New Years...)
• January 3rd- January 16th: Book 13
• January 17th- January 30th- Book 14

I skipped a few days such as Thanksgiving and July 1st, is there any other days I forgot about?

We are going to start voting on which books to read on Monday, voting will stop on Thursday night. There will probably be a few rounds of voting after that, the top five from this vote we will be reading, then we will vote again and the top five from that  we will be reading. Then we'll vote again and the top 4 from that we will read. J 

Okay, so there is a troll on the Lost forums that is going by the user name Lost2356. He is posting spoilers everywhere on the forums so if you are trying to go spoiler free, don't do onto the forums for a little while. I have to go to bed now... bye bye. xxxx

I'm back! Sorry that my last blog was so short and rushed, I typed it from school. Anyways, so I went to Fredericton for 2 days to go to the Provincial Math Competition, two of my friends went too so it was really fun. I got to learn some Korean, cause one of the girls that came with us was from South Korea. I now know how to say "Please", "Thank you", "You're late" and "I love Lost". I think I did okay on the test (I hope :S), we have to wait 2 weeks to get our results, which kind of sucks. It took us 3 hours to drive there, it was kind of nice cause I got to catch up on listening to my subscribed podcasts. We stayed in residence at UNB, I sware that the rooms were smaller then a storage closet! And it got up to like 100C degrees so I couldn't sleep at all. But on the bright side, we got to go to the mall for about 4 hours, which was great cause I don't really have a mall were I live. And they have a bookstore!!!! My Lost book collection increased a fair bit after going in there. My collection is now...

1. The LOST Chronicles by Mark Cotta Vas                                                                           
2. Finding LOST by Nikki Stafford                                                                                      
3. Getting LOST by Orson Scott Card                                                                                  
4. Unlocking the Meaning of LOST by Lynnette Porter & David Lavery                                       
5. LOST: Endangered Species by Cathy Hapka                                                                      
6. LOST: Secret Identity by Cathy Hapka                                                                              
7. A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens

Also, Carrie and Catch-22 should be coming in the mail any day now. I also bought this months copy of the official LOST magazine, I think I'm going to buy a subscription cause they don't sell it anywhere here. I'm  going to try and get Lord of the Flies and Bad Twin soon. Is there any others that I should get?

***

Also, my cutting back on TV is going very well, I havn't watched Bones, House or Desperate Housewives in 2 weeks. It's been really really hard to stop watching Bones, but I think I'll be able to stay away from the finale next week. Only 2 more weeks till exams, I'm starting to get nervous... but then after that I get to go to Ottawa for a week, which is going to be really great. Anyways... thats it for right now.. ta ta...

Okay, well I'm leaving in about 30 minutes to go to Fredericton for a few days. I will not have any internet access seeing as I'm staying in a university dorm room. Just wanted to tell you that I won't be here until sunday. Bye Bye.

Ok so i don't have enought energy to type everything out agin so I'm just going to copy my review...

Well, who knew that Ben had an imaginary friend? I almost pied my pants laughing when Ben was talking to "Jacob". It was so halarious to see him talking to the empty chair! I'm not sure what to think, is it maybe only people who trully believe in Jacobs power that can see him? Or maybe only people who have been on the island for a long time? Or then theres the possibilty that Ben is just plain old lieing and there really isn't any Jacob. But I'm highly doughting that. Why would Ben have shot Locke in the last scene if he had made the voice himself? Or maybe he really wants John dead. The Others reaction when Locke said that he and Ben were going to go see Jacob was just priceless. Probably one of the first times we've scene them all go quiet at the same time. And we got to see Patchy again! I was so mad at Locke when he just came right up to him and beep the pulp out of him. Poor Mikhail. As for the end, I have to say that I was acctually happy that Ben shot Locke. I really hope theylet him die, I can't stand him!

As for the flashbacks, I thought they were great! Ben was so cute as a kid! And him and his little friend Annie were so cute togther! It was so sad though that his Dad blamed him for his mother dieing, that was just not right. I'm guessing that it was smokey that Ben was seeing when he saw his mother, but how would smokey get into his room? Any thoughts on that guys?

Back on the beach.... I was so happy with Jack! I could have lept into the TV and hugged him! I know that probably about 99% of people here are probably thinking the exact opposite, but me being a total Other Lover, I was so happy that Jack stood be Juliet and didn't go cold on her. As for whether she really told him the day that she and Sun went to the Staff, I'm a bit skeptical about that, I think he knows more then he is letting on.

So thats it, next week is Greatest Hits and I can't wait!

So what did you guys think?

WARNING: DO NOT READ IF YOU PLAN ON SEEING THE MOVIE AND DO NOT WANT TO BE SPOILED! 

************************************************

Well I finally managed to go and see Spider Man 3 last night. But I have to say that I was a bit disappointed. I didn't think that the special effects were all that great during some of the fight scenes. When Peter goes to save that girl agter the crain goes hay-wire, when the building was walling I was really disappointed by the CGI. Over all it was still a great movie thought, maybe the best in 2007 so far. I loved the emo look after Peter puts on the black suit, the disco thing was just plain halarious. I also cried at the end, the people at the other end of the theater could probably hear my mother and I bawling ours eyes out when Harry died. Anyways... that's it for now... bye bye xxxx

Okay, so i really don't feel like typing my opinoion of The Brig again, so I'll just say that I loved it! If you want to know what I thought, see my review for the Brig, which should be just a little bit down this page...
