| But, i admit, high school DOES have its ups and downs So i read this stupid book called "the joy luck club" for english and its about chinese women who moved to america and their struggles with their daughters who want to become Americanized and date american guys... Probably one of the least interesting books I have ever read. So, after reading this book, I had to write a complex paragraph in class about something in the book that I was pretty confident on... And, I bet you can guess what happened. Yup, I got a 17/30 for a score. That is, like what... 56.66666%? an F. But at least I still have an 85% in the class and got a 95% on my math quiz today  |

| Psh try reading Wuthering Heights or The Scarlet Letter (yes Wuthering not Withering). Worst books ever written, and on top of that I had 4 tests over Wuthering Heights (One of them a timed writing that I scored an epic 59 on) and last year I had 3 tests over Scarlet Letter (Once again one of them written). I think I have a B in the class but those books were trash... Brave New World on the other hand <3 XD Single best book I have ever had the pleasure of reading. And I hate reading. |

| Haha oh yeah, because it takes a very special person to rhyme mind and time... Which doesn't even rhyme that well lol
Real props goes to those guys who can go all free style rap on you at any moment w/out having to think about what rhymes they are goin to say next

HxC stands for Hardcore Rock, stuff like We Came as Romans, The Word Alive, Blessthefall, The Devil Wears Prada, ect. Its that music that people always call Screamo but rarely is XD. (unless you talk to a fan of old hardcore, in that case its bands like Gorilla Biscut)
I like more than most music because the lyrics always have a meaning to them where as most music now an days is just commercial garbage imo. |

I really don't know it was so hard to understand. I read it in 5th grade and hated it. The girl does get her father back in the end though so at least it's happy |
