What the hell is that smell?!
It freaking stinks dude. Like I'm about to barf, seriously. Wait it's totally not in my house so don't be thinking that. I checked all over this place and it's not in here, I thinks it's in the hallway. It smells like someone put, like burnt chicken, mayo, ketchup, dog crap, maybe a dead person's foot, and some sweaty fat man sweat in a old air freshener can and sprayed it all over the freaking hallway outside my house. I know I'm sorry, I know that was brutal to read but at least your not smelling this crap. Oh my freaking god, if I see ONE more ExtenZe commercial I will lose my mind. I swear they got this thing on replay I've seen it like 13 times now, this can't be normal. Anyway, Michelle gave me a book to read on Friday and I finished it that night, the book was The Perks of Being a Wallflower" by Stephen Chbosky. It was a good book but sometimes trying to wrap your head around what this dude was saying or thinking, made me go "yo this dude needs to chill with all these big words man." Lolz just kidding I'm smarter than that. I loved how the whole entire book was written like letters to someone, and that someone was whoever was reading the book. The book was kinda weird/gross in some parts but I'm a big girl I can deal with it but you know still, sometimes someone doesn't wanna be relaxing reading a book then BAM!!! Your reading about how Charlie (the main character) discovered masturbation, and then your kinda like, "umm okay cool for you but lets not keep talking about this, please?" One more think about Charlie that kinda peeved me, he cried, a lot. See now don't get the wrong idea, I think it's great for guys to cry and stuff let it out, but Charlie did this like more then once a day and it kinda gets old after a while. If I ever had the chance to talk to him I'd be like "dude word of advice, are you listening? Okay so don't take this the wrong way, but girls normally don't like it when a dude cries more then they do. Are you understanding this? Knock that crying at the drop of a hat bussiness stuff off, kay? It's obnoxious. All with love Charlie now I gotta get going cause I'm in the middle of writing a blog, peace out." That's what I'd say, but with that aside Charlie reminds me of myself, he always got his face shoved up in a book and he writes good stuff and he has a good heart and a lot of love for his friends, sister, brother, and his parents. The last thing I'd like to say about Charlie is that I have respect for him. I know I didn't get to deep about the book but I'm kinda tired it's 4:19 in the morning and the smell is making me dizzy and lightheaded. I also just saw another ExtenZe commercial so... Yeah I'm leaving. PEACE OUT!!!

I read Perks of Being a Wallflower in 9th grade and I remember being utterly confused- as I told you before you started reading it. I remember my friends and I were sitting around talking about it after and I apparently missed half of the book. I want to read it again soon. One thing I do remember really enjoying about this book is all of the music he talked about.
ReplyDeleteReally great thing I just found out minutes ago: Perks of Being a Wallflower is being made into a movie- Emma Watson from Harry Potter will be in it. I’m really excited about that.
I was teaching tenth grade when I first read Perks and I had trouble because I kept thinking that Charlie was a girl. I started hearing that voice as a girl right at the beginning of the book and though I knew, later on, that he was a guy, the impression of him as a girl stuck. You know?
ReplyDeleteI thought too that he cried too much. It was, er, uncomfortable in the same way it is uncomfortable for me to be around someone who cries often. And this kid cried a lot.
Still, I ended up liking him and I liked how he kept listing all the books he was reading. Wasn't it a teacher who kept passing him the books? I know that The Catcher in the Rye was in there and I think Camus' The Stranger was too. I should look online for a list of all the books and see how many I've read.
If you're like Charlie in that you're always reading and often writing, then you'll be like Charlie in other ways -- smart, funny, sympathetic to others, thoughtful. Those sound like good ways to be.
Finally, I just finished a book called King of the Screwups by K.L. Going and I really, really liked it mostly because it's a book I don't think I can recommend to everyone since the main character and a major secondary character are, well, let's just say that they aren't people that everyone will accept. But I think you would like it.
If you get a chance and feel like it, see if you can find the list of books that Charlie read. It would make a heck of a blog post.
And as you say, peace out, woman.
