And They Were Gone discussion

This book is okay, but I like the PJO series alot better. The Egyptian gods are just so weird.

have not read it.

Well, you should!!!!! Even though it is not that good, you should read it just so you can understand the Red Pyramid part of our story.

I will think about it

Well, you should!!!!!

You shouldn't. It's not that great. It was Anna's idea to put Sadie in the story, not mine. Though we did need a girl, I wanted Hermione. Even if she's not a main character, she's way cooler than Sadie.

But we needed an annoying person.

I have no idea what you are talking about.

That's 'cuz you didn't read the books you dingo! And I don't know why you say it's an okay book. I LOVED it!

I thought it was pretty good. Once you get past the whole weirdness stuff, it's really quite enjoyable.

Sadie was sooo annoying, and so mean to her own brother. Carter was all right, though. I think I actually like him better than Percy. I think it would have been better if it was just narrated by Carter, instead of both of them. The whole switching thing really annoyed me.

I think Sadie was mean to her brother because she really only got to see him twice a year.

And she got better after the thing when he helped her turn back into a human after being a bird.

But she's such a stuck-up jerk. And I don't think she ever shows any sensitivity for Carter's feelings.

Well, she's an annoying little sister and Carter is an annoying older brother. It's the way of things, if ones annoying both are likely to be annoying.

But Carter's nice to Sadie most of the time. And I think he's a pretty awesome older brother.

Well, J, you can't really compare.

I can compare Carter and Sadie's relative awesomeness. (Or lack thereof)

you sound like an English teacher.

Yes, yes she does.

At least I haven't written anything about people who randomly turn into giant cockroaches yet. (Even though I have to write an essay about it on Monday)

I'll write one real quick.

Lemmi turned into a giant cockroach.

THE END

It's Gregor actually. And the first thing he thinks about after he realizes he has turned into a cockroach is that he is going to be late for work because he can't get on the train.

I quote, "But what could he do now? The next train left at seven o'clock; to make it he would have to hurry like a madman" And this after he suddenly wakes up and realizes he is a giant bug who can't get out of bed because he has no idea whatsoever how to work his legs. Yes, I've thought too much about this book, and I still have to finish an essay on it. *throws book into fire and cheers wildly*

Wait!!! I might need that!

Yeah, especially with the inserted platypus comment to make you laugh when you're a poor, depressed, overworked senior.

*sigh*

*laughs*

*does the can can*

*sings My heart will go on*

*watches How to Train Your Dragon, then skips around happily*

I wonder when the next Kane Chronicles book is coming out? Rick Riordan must be busy!

Yeah.

*RANDOM* My mom went to parent teacher confrences and this is what some of my teachers said:

Mr. Purdy likes Anna and me sitting with each other becuase we no when not to talk and we get everything done.

Mr. Long says I'm the only one with a solid 4 in his 7th period.

Mrs. Bloemen had to leave early.

I have a 3 in math.

I FEEL SO HAPPY! I like it when teachers compliment me. Not to be like self centered or anything. Oh and my mom embarrased us Anna! She told Mr. Purdy about our book lists!

What did he say? I didn't see him on Tuesday cuz he wasn't there.

Mr. Purdy? Well, he says he likes how we work well together and challenge one another. And yeah. I wasn't there. I stayed home.

Ohhhhhhhhhhh! We had Mrs. Hall today in English! Me and John thought up the most homophones, so we get a prize!!!!!!!

I liked that other substitute we had the other day. What was her name? She was AWESOME.

Which one? We have had ALOT of subs in English the past week or so. I miss Mr. Purdy!!!!!!!!!!

Mrs. Danyar I think maybe.

Oh. We had a cool sub in math today. Her name is Mrs. Seefeld, and she is the one that gave me a vanilla flavored tootsie roll.

And it tasted really bad. Or at least bad enough that you absolutely had to stop for a drink of water.

Yep. I will never as long as I live eat another vanilla flavored tootsie roll!

you should eat an orange flavored tootsie roll.

I LOVE THOSE!!!!!!!!!

You do? I think all flavored tootsie rolls (except the chocolate kind) are disgusting!

I love all of them except the vanilla ones!

Cool.

I don't really like any kind of tootsie roll. (Yes, I know I'm weird.)

Aren't we all?

Weird is normal and normal is weird!
