I am so tired. I woke up at 4:15 am yesterday morning, so I could be in Toronto by 9:30. For 'We Day', the day where kids from all over Ontario come to Toronto to listen to Craig Keihlburger (sp?). And his brother, Marc. It was awesomely amazing, or amazingly awesome. Whichever you want.
There were tons of awesome people there, like someone with no legs, or a magician, or the dude from Hedley (who has a terrible, terrible mustache; shave it off!). And there were 18,00 kids/teachers there. It was insane. Kinda surreal.
But, I lost my camera. My teacher's going to send out e-mails to other teachers, in case someone accidentally put it in their bag, or I put it in someone else's bag (we all got cloth bags), but it probably slipped down under the seat in front of me, which really, really, sucks. Really.
I've been reading lots, lately, including Diana Wynne Jones, Patricia C. Wrede, and Scott Westerfeld. Gotta love all of them. From Diana Wynne Jones, you have your magicians; from Patricia C. Wrede, pretty much the same, but set in 1876!; and from Scott Westerfeld, sci-fi/fantasy/science. In his companion to the Uglies series, Bogus to Bubbly, you can see how much detail he put into Tally's world, 300 years in the future, and it's mind-wrecking. Insane.
Currently, I'm reading both The Time of the Ghost, by Diana Wynne Jones, and The Grand Tour by Patricia C. Wrede and another person whose name escapes me. In the former, it's kind of creepy, and, personally, I think it's not her best book. At all. The latter is amazing, and I knew that, because I read it about a year ago. Surprisingly, it is the second book of a trilogy (or cycle?), and I also have the third book from the library, but not the first. So I'll try to track it down, somehow.
Right now, I'm watching Departures with Scott and Justin, whose last names I don't know/can't remember. Watch it. It's on OLN, and, sadly, after three seasons, it's over. It's about the two of them (and Andre, their camera man) traveling the world. For three years. It's amazing.
