Lucky Charms in Zero Gravity

So, I did a post of movie quotes that I love, despite people not actually saying things like that and now I decided to do one with book quotes!! This time around I am going to stick with strictly Meg Cabot since that is what I have been reading non-stop due to my 21 list but at some point I will do one with a greater variety! So here goes...some of the most fantastic book quotes ever!!

1. "Then he leaned down and kissed me some more. This time when he lifted his head, birds, stars, and even little rainbows seemed to float around in front of me. It was like someone had dumped a box of Lucky Charms in zero gravity." -Jinx
2. "Wait. Why am I thinking about Krispy Kremes? We’re supposed to be exercising."-Big Boned
3. "Unrequited love is all right in books and things, but in real life, it completely sucks"-Haunted
4.  "Being brave is when you have to do something because you know it is right, but at the same time, you are afraid to do it, because it might hurt or whatever. But you do it anyway."-All American Girl
5.  "And now Rocky is begging me to watch Dora the Explorer with him. I understand that millions of kids love Dora and have learned to read or whatever from her show. But I wouldn't mind if Dora fell off a cliff and took her little pals with her"-Forever Princess
6. "Everything this boy said-and did-was causing my internal organs to do acrobatics!" -Runaway
7.  "A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle." "I really hate this expression. I bet fish would totally want bicycles."-Princess on the Brink
8.  "Chaz looks me dead in the eye and says, 'Why yes, Lizzie. I’m manically depressed because the girl I’ve finally realized I’ve always been in love with, and who I was beginning to think just might love me back, turned around and got herself engaged to my best friend, who, frankly, doesn’t deserve her. Does that answer your question?" -Queen of Babble Gets Hitched
9.  "I just want to let you know that when I look into my future, I see nothing but you.” That’s what Chaz had whispered in my ear at some point during the wedding last night. Then he’d whispered. “And you’re not even wearing Spanx." -Queen of Babble In the Big City
10.  "if you give a man to fish he'll eat for a day, if you teach a man to fish he'll eat all the fish you may have caught for yourself "-Darkest Hour
11.  "I loved you way before you ever had a chance to put a spell on me. I loved you at 'I've never been to Long Island,'" Zach said. I couldn't keep a big goofy grin from my face. I loved you at 'I like seals,'" I admitted. He grinned back."-Jinx
12.  "I may have been dead for the past hundred and fifty years, Susannah," Jesse said, "but that doesn't mean I don't know how people say good night. And generally, when people say good night,they keep their tongues to themselves."-Ninth Key
13.  "You'll blow up a helicopter, but you won't go out with me? What is wrong with you?"-When Lightning Strikes
14.  "If it turned out Brandon Stark also likes to dress up as Strawberry Shortcake while playing croquet with his miniature pony collection, I totally wouldn't be surprised anymore."-Runaway
15.  "Cal: “I’m not presuming. I know exactly what you think about me. You think I’m an anal-retentive Armrest Nazi . . . an arrogant Modelizer. You can’t stand the way I talk, any of the subjects I choose to talk about, the imperious manner I order food in restaurants or tell cab drivers how much we owe them. You find my taste in women odious, the fact that I don’t own a television an unforgivable sin, and the fact that I would choose to write a book about Saudi Arabia completely unfathomable. And you’re also totally in love with me. If you weren’t you wouldn’t have pushed me into the pool earlier today when you saw Grazi walk in.” -Every Boy's Got One
16.  "Don't cry." "How can I not?" I asked him. "You just said you loved me." "Well, why else did you think all of this was happening?" He set the book aside to wrap his arms around me. "The Furies wouldn't be trying to kill you if I didn't love you." "I didn't know," I said. Tears were trickling down my cheeks, but I did nothing to try to stop them. His shirt was absorbing most of them. "You never said anything about it. Every time I saw you, you just acted so... wild." "How was I supposed to act?" he asked. "You kept doing things like throw tea in my face."-Abandon
17.  "...And you can't have two stars in one relationship. Somebody has to be willing to be the wagon...at lease some of the time" -Queen of Babble Gets Hitched
18.  "Tell me what game Steph Landry and I used to play in the big dirt pile they made while they were digging my family’s pool, back when we were both seven, or I’ll know you’re an alien replacement and you’ve got the real Steph up in your mother ship!” I glared at him. “G.I. Joe meets Spelunker Barbie,” I said. “And stop being so ridiculous. We have to go. We’re going to end up at a bad table for lunch." -How to Be Popular
19.  "Oh, that's just great. I come all the way back here, risking major brain cell burnout, and you don't even believe me? I'm basically guaranteeing myself a lifetime of heartbreak, and all you have to say is that you think I'm not right in the head?" -Twilight (Mediator Series)
20. "We kissed all the way through the fireworks display. We didn’t even notice that there was a fireworks display… …I guess because we’d been making fireworks of our own." -Teen Idol
21.  "Cadaver breath. Do you realize that's what you called me? That hurt, you know, querida, that really hurt." -Mediator Series
22. "No matter how nice the company one might be with, however, it is never pleasant to have a rifle pointed at one's back." -Sanctuary
23. "In order for people to be happy, sometimes they have to take risks. It's true these risks can put them in danger of being hurt." -The Boy Next Door
24. "I know, Glow in the Dark Dinosaur stickers are so last year." -Airhead
25. "...he definitely didn't sparkle!" -Insatiable

So I am sure there are many others because Meg Cabot is absolutely brilliant!!! You may be noticing that my blogger address as well as title of my blog all has something to do with the things I have read in Meg Cabot books!! :) Sorry I went a little crazy with the colors but I felt like they needed broken up a bit!! :P

Appreciation

Sometimes we do not truly appreciate the things that we have until we no longer have them. As many of you know, I broke my glasses on Thursday and the doctor put me in contacts until I would get my new glasses and they were really bugging me and I was really annoyed. However, last night I lost one of these contacts and I had to go to school this morning without my glasses or contacts and therefore had to strain my eyes very much to see anything. This resulted in very sore eyes and a massive headache. When I got replacement contacts and slipped them in, it was so amazing just to be able to see things without straining! I am legally blind but I am so blessed that with the modern technology I am actually able to see!! Sometimes, I think we and by this I most definitely mean I need to stop some times and just take time to appreciate all the wonderful gifts that the Lord has given me!!

Game Night

I absolutely love Sundays because we go to church, obviously, which is a wonderful time in and of itself. Then we get to spend time with friends which is wonderful. We do group dinners, (tonight's was "What's in your fridge?) and we have ward prayer. Then we have GAME NIGHT!

Tonight I hosted and we played a couple of great rounds of Werewolves and then we played one super intense round of BANG!! It was a fantastic Sunday as always!

Next Sunday is going to be even better because...I won't have to go to school at 9 the next morning!! :)

Summerfest

Okay so in the small town that I grew up in they have this weekend every May called Blossom Festival. There are all sorts of little craft vendors and people with funnel cakes and cotton candy. There is a parade and carnival. The works.

Well, today I was invited by a friend to go to Summerfest in Orem. There were all the booths and little kids with balloon animals and face painting. There were carnival rides and the vendors with funnel cakes and cotton candy and the works! It was fantastic! Today truly felt like a summer day! How fantastic!

Friday once again...

So this is the second Friday in a row that I actually have plans! Going to the Stake BBQ and then the birthday party of the one and only absolutely wonderful Sarah June!! :)

Sorry the posts have been so boring most of this week. Life has been crazy! Hopefully more interesting stuff is yet to come!

Then again I could be completely wrong! I apparently am destined to sit at home by myself and do nothing except maybe attempt to read a book that is giving me a headache because these contacts suck! Such is my life...

Giving Up

That is right! I am giving up! The moment that things look as if they might possibly be looking up, something bad has to happen to take that all away!! SCREW IT!!! I just snapped my glasses in half, I have finals next week, I don't have insurance that will cover an eye visit and new glasses! I am royally screwed!
