Day 13: A guilty pleasure.

Magazines.
Not even good magazines, like Star Wars Insider. Junk magazines.
See, the people that had our house before we moved in had a hair salon. And magazine companies give their extra magazines to hair salons. So we get tons of free magazines. And I read them:
We get(for free):

Real Simple
Us Weekly
People
Allure
Cosmopolitan(I don't read this one. XP)
Self
Elle(I don't read this one)
Vogue
Teen Vogue
Glamour(I don't read this one either)
All You
Weight Watchers
Modern Bride
Brides
In Style
Food-Martha Stewart
All You
All kinds of random magazines that we only get once.

We have no subscription to any magazines except Linux Journal(for my dad). I wonder when they will stop? Will they?

It's very irregular. We used to get People every week, but now we get it rarely. We stopped getting Real Simple for about a year, but now we get it again. I love Real Simple! :D Oh, we used to get Good Housekeeping and Family Fun. We don't get those anymore. I miss them! :'(

It's fun getting at least something in the mail every day, And I take it up to my room and read when I have a spare moment. And then I procrastinate throwing it away. I never reread them because we get something else every day. I have literally a big ol laundry basket in my room full of procrastinated, beat up US Weeklys. I should go throw them out.

I see the magazine aisles in the store and I'm like, people pay money for these? I just threw out a ton after tripping over them!

PS. Alex-Ha! Hopefully your bride lets you choose the song.

    I am the EXACT same way, Amaranthine. Magazines are my weakness.

    I was cleaning out my room about a month ago and came across 15-20 junk magazines we got in the mail that I had stashed away and never had thrown out.

    I keep them, and read them even if it's something boring. I might even like reading magazines more then books. =P

    I love junk magazines! Even though I hardly get to read them. When we were taking care of this lady's house for her while she was on vacation this summer, she let us swim in her pool, and she left us a TON of magazines.

three amazing--and relatively little known--psalms

So I'm reading Psalms in the Bible right now. Well, Psalms is one of the three places I read from. I'm reading the Bible all the way through and read two chapters from three places--the Old Testament, the middle of the Old Testament, and the New Testament--every day. I'm in Deuteronomy and Romans in the other sections, but in the middle I'm still right where I started from-Psalms. Cause Psalms is really really long. I was getting kind of tired of Psalms(which isn't really the right attitude to be reading the Bible in). But I realized there are some really breathtaking passages in Psalms, and I'm glad I read them. These are my three favorites: *Buck Forester on Flikr Psalm 65 This one is about God's spectacular creation. What mighty praise, O God,      belongs to you in Zion. We will fulfill our vows to you, 2       for you answer our prayers.      All of us must come to you. 3  Though we are overwhelmed by our sins,      you forgive them a

Ciel Phantomhive vs. Artemis Fowl

  Don't laugh. XD The similarities between the two characters are so distinct and obvious that comparison is inevitable for anyone who's read/watched both series. I seriously thought when I first noticed Black Butler(more popularly referred to as Kuroshitsuji) that it was literally an anime adaption of Artemis Fowl.  Other people have read Artemis Fowl and thought "CIEL HAS A CLONE??!?" So I thought I'd outline some of the differences and analyze who would win. XD Similarities: Appearance:  This is the first similarity, and one of the most major, because if they didn't look so darn alike I don't think the comparison would have been as striking. The above picture of Artemis is a fanart, because there aren't really any good pictures of Artemis, and the manga style makes it more obvious. They are both from the British Isles and have black hair and blue eyes. Both of them lose/change/switch an eye resulting in two different colors.

I need book recommendations!

    I heard this movie stunk. C'mon, I'm dying over here! In other, unrelated news, want to hear one of the most overrated book series I've ever read is? Alex Rider. I picked up Stormbreaker after legions of people going "READ ITZ AMARANTHINE TIS AMAZING". It was alright....I guess. I didn't...fall asleep or anything. But it was definitely not mind blowing. For starters, Alex is way underdeveloped as a character. He was a little funny and relate able but not on the same level as I was expecting. And he's a bit cliched in the fact that he's just generally smart and knows everything, without any explanation or emphasis. I guess you could say that he's only a genius when he needs to be, and it doesn't add any other levels to the story. Oh, and did I mention that he's well versed in martial arts too? Yeah. Ender could still kick his butt though. I guess it would be a good read for boys who don't read much. Definitely not YA lev
