   Laura glanced at me desperately. "Tammy, I think--" she was cut off by a rather loud explosion, though while she cringed, I grinned. There was nothing better, or more satisfying, than blowing out the brains of mindless, flesh eating bastards. Oh, excuse me, the 'turned,' a more PC way of saying human-eating zombies.

   "C'mon, Laure! Where's your sense of adventure?" I laughed.

   "You're suicidal, Tam! Bat-shit crazy!" Laura looked slightly panicked, and I couldn't…

   Early this morning, when I was in the bathroom and trying to find my boots while stressing about my Govt. final, I heard a mewing noise, like a kitten. I stopped, but the sound didn't, and I went out to my backyard to investigate, but there was no noise. Not only that, but when I went back to the bathroom, it was silent. I frowned and walked into the hall. "Mell," I asked, puzzled. "Did you hear that, or am I just losing my sanity?"

   "You have to be sane to actually lose your…

   Lilly laughed. "Yeah, okay, whatever you say, Valler."

   "Have you ever heard the quote, 'sarcasm isn't the lowest form of wit. It's not even wit at all,' Lilly?"

   She mock punched me in the arm. "You're an ass." It was obvious she didn't mean it, if her bright eyes were anything to go on.

   "I try," I answered truthfully.

   "Well, it works. Oh, my, God. There's Tomas!" Lilly squealed and I winced. That girl sure has a pair of lungs on her. Damn.

My lock are a dark blond/brown, and they are currently being turned into a Bright White/Blond. I hope this isn't my worst idea yet...

   I stared at the crowd of screaming, shoving, cursing teenagers. Oh, God, this was lunch? "Lord, take me now," I muttered under my breath. It was complete and total chaos, and the lines they were supposed to stand in were more like groups. Where were the teachers? Oh, yeah, on their own lunch breaks. The security guard was standing next to a line, the burger line I think, and ignored some kid getting shoved on the ground, and the lunch lady yelling, "One at a time, you good fer…

   I'm so tired. I'm the girl who usually pays attention in class, no matter how boring. But, when I was in the middle of taking notes in my math class, I fell asleep! I'm an idiot, and when I jolted awake, I looked around to make sure no one saw. Nobody did. But that was the second time it had happened. I can't go home right now, 'cause I don't have a way to call my 'rents and they won't let me walk home all on my lonesome. I shouln't have asked if I could stay after school today... I've got… Continue

   Elf Girl stayed silent, thoughtful, and suddenly said, "My dad's dead."

   I messed with my I-Pod, trying not to look too closely at her. If she was about to start crying, I don't know what I'd do, so I figured that as long as I couldn't see her, it wouldn't happen. "Yeah? How?"

   "He was in the war, and well, you know." She shrugged her bony shoulders as if it didn't matter.

   I did know. I may not have fought in any war you've heard of, but that doesn't mean they…

Love sucks. Balls. Saggy, wrinkly, old man balls. *Sigh* My aunt won't leave her abusive, piss-poor excuse of a husband.

But love still makes you happy. How that hell does that work?

   Elf girl glanced at my picture and raised an eyebrow with a very unladylike snort. "Really? What is he, Van Helsing?"

   "Hardly. Van Helsing wasn't a disgusting pig. Most times." Well, he wasn't until he turned into a drunk and tried to hump anything with two legs and boobs. And sometimes even without the boobs.

   "So I suppose you know him personally, right?" I grinned at her, though I think it was more like bearing teeth.

   "Of course. That's my job." Well,…

   Okay, this is, by far, one of the best series I have read. It takes place in 1802, and Mary Faber is an orphan. Her parents had died from the plague when she was eight, and she's now 12, living on the streets with Charlie Rooster's gang. But, one day, Charlie pisses off the wrong people, and ends up dead. Mary decides it's time to act; so she cuts her hair, dons pants, and gives herself the name 'Jacky.' Thinking she's a boy, a navy ship recruits her as a ship's boy, along with the snob…
