Texting is bad??

Hey guys, I wanted to to tell you just how bad texting is even though I am addicted to it. this morning I was doing my usual sit in my pajamas until 11:00 in the morning and my dad asked me to come read an article about how texting was affecting many college and high school students and their resemes. In a nut shell it said that many of the young community was being refused jobs because they were writing their resame in "text talk."
Another reason is the all popular... texting while driving. Driving in Arizona is already a dangerous thing (just kidding) but most of the young people are so addicted to it they have car accidents because they can't pull their head out of their phone. My dad unfortunately is like these people. Once again just kidding.

The Tale of Despereaux: Being the Story of a Mouse, a Princess, Some Soup, and a Spool of Thread

This is a really long book. I like it. It's about a mouse, soup, and a girl and thread. There is also someone with big ears. You should read this book, and I don't like to read alot of books.

Desert Broom Library Volunteering

Hey teen bloggers,

This is my first blog entry. This summer was also my first time volunteering at the library. This experience was made better because of the helpful and supportive library staff. People like Mrs. Anne made me feel welcome and at ease in my new job. I would like to extend a big thanks to the library staff at Desert Broom Library.

Twilight

I am new to this blogger thing but what I know is that Twilight is a great book. This is a book all about a vampire who is dedicated himself to not suck human blood but only animal. He protects a girl who is staying with her father in a small town. I haven't finished this book but it is so good that I woke up eaqrly this morning on a Saturday,mind you, and read until 11:00 a.m. this book is great and I would reccomend this book to any child ages,11 and + so be on the lookout for this great book... TWILIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
