SAT! BOOKS! LOSERS! LOVE! We got it awl, shiz.

My SAT is in ONE WEEK. Its safe to say that I still have not yet completed a single practice test.
I blame it on KESC and the government, like any responsible Pakistani, so its all cool man. Shit.

Two people keep calling me and texting me. They're not my friends, or anyone I know. They are lovely frAndshipers. I'm posting their numbers here, so you , awesome followers (if bored) can spam their inboxes like they have spammed mine.
Or just give the numbers to your pathan chowkidars? Or whatever.
I trust you to do WOTEVA U FEEL LYK.

1.03017817874
2.03453596290

The first one's name is Hussain, the second one goes by Abid.
Yeah, they're stupid enough to sign their name at the end of every text.

And while you're at it, could you PLEASE report this fucked up fellow?

Thanks guys <3.

So anyway, I read another awesome book, when I should have been studying.

Forget You, by Jennifer Echols.



 I chose to read this (e)book because I sorta got jilted at the altar. [Long, stupid story.]

And well, I really wanted to forget. The crucial thing, that I had infact forgotten {no pun intended} though was that the blurb said it was about amnesia, not about FORGETTING THE GUY WHO U LUF.

So anyway, all that aside.
Forget You was AMAAAZING.
I loved it.
It was one of those big-smile-at-the-end books.
I did, anyway.

What its about:

WHY CAN’T YOU CHOOSE WHAT YOU FORGET . . . AND WHAT YOU REMEMBER? There’s a lot Zoey would like to forget. Like how her father has knocked up his twenty-four- year old girlfriend. Like Zoey’s fear that the whole town will find out about her mom’s nervous breakdown. Like darkly handsome bad boy Doug taunting her at school. Feeling like her life is about to become a complete mess, Zoey fights back the only way she knows how, using her famous attention to detail to make sure she’s the perfect daughter, the perfect student, and the perfect girlfriend to ultra-popular football player Brandon. But then Zoey is in a car crash, and the next day there’s one thing she can’t remember at all—the entire night before. Did she go parking with Brandon, like she planned? And if so, why does it seem like Brandon is avoiding her? And why is Doug—of all people— suddenly acting as if something significant happened between the two of them? 
Controlled, meticulous Zoey is quickly losing her grip on the all-important details of her life—a life that seems strangely empty of Brandon, and strangely full of Doug.

 

I loved it because of the romance, it was sizzling and Doug was awesome.
I liked Zoey, except I was always slightly annoyed by her, since she didnt act like a normal teen- I dont know, I felt that she was too detached from whatever was happening, and wtf was all that shit about Brandon? {MILD spoilers} I disliked the fact that she kept calling him her boyfriend, when she KNEW he was a player. And just because she'd slept with him once.
Oh and the whole sleeping-with-someone-to-distract-yourself-from-tragedy bit is so overrated and screwed, both literally and figuratively thats its not even funny anymore.
What I adored was how much Doug cared for Zoey, and the huge-attention-to-detail type things he did for her. For example, it was so sugar sweet of him to drag her away from the car, even with a leg searing with pain- and then how he asked Zoey's best friends to stop acting stupid and befriend Zoey again... adooorable and so FREAKING cute.
I'm a strong believer of the whole 'its the little things' shit, and thus, Doug rocked.
To gush on and on.. I loved the amnesia thing, I loved how Doug always tried to protect Zoey, I loved how she was a good swimmer and wasnt like any of the cliched cheerleader/loser types and etc etc. {End: Spoilers}

What I'm trying to say it, READ IT, AND LOVE.

K?
k.

Okay, thats enough for today, I suppose. I'll leave ya'll with another awesome quote my that same soon-to-be-famous-loser.

Saieen scene bhi mean hai muscle bhi lean hai aur biscuit bhi peak frean hai aysi to baat hi nahi hai C:

Hahaha, I love him, it made me totally LMAO. 
But not ROFLMAO, for THAT, you gotta check the other quote here.

k bai now.

Some Updates and A Quote by a soon to be famous Loser.

Updates:

Loverboy by Michelle Jaffe was awesome as far as the mystery was concerned.  The mystery was seriously midblowing, and I couldnot, in a  thousand years see it coming AT ALL.
Loved it. The romance was kinda lame, but AT LEAST THERE WAS ROMANCE.

I honesty picked the book up, because Michelle Jaffe is an awesome friend of Meg Cabot, and Meg is always going on about how great Jaffe's books are, so since the book was JUST  a hundred rupees and Meg liked it, I decided to give it a try.
I was not disappointed :D.
Its about a serial killer who makes collages embedded with clues and then hands em over to the FBI.
Gotta love the idea right?

The Quote:

Life iz nut fare. Daz how it iz dare. U tayk Kare. Don't lat your eye gief tare. U r rare. The end is Nare. Eat cake with triple lare. Drive car on top gare. Always buy sox in pare. On eid new clothes ware. Ok?
Bai

Jessica's Guide To Dating On The Dark Side by Beth Fantaskey

Was awesome. When I read it was about vampires, it kinda put me off. I mean really? Another Vamp book? Okay, I know I loved Twilight but I think most of us have had enough of vampires. Movies/TV shows/ Books- they're EVERYWHERE. So anyway, when I finally DID open the book and began to read, all can say is, I was happily surprised. This book was like quicksand, pulling me into it thick and fast. It was full of emotion, and plenty of laugh out loud moments. The romance was well developed and very sexy, and yes, I admit Lucius was SO EFFING HOT- So I may be a tad bit biased. Heres the what its about: The undead can really screw up your senior year ... Marrying a vampire definitely doesn’t fit into Jessica Packwood’s senior year “get-a-life” plan. But then a bizarre (and incredibly hot) new exchange student named Lucius Vladescu shows up, claiming that Jessica is a Romanian vampire princess by birth—and he’s her long-lost fiancé. Armed with newfound confidence and a copy of Growing Up Undead: A Teen Vampire’s Guide to Dating, Health, and Emotions, Jessica makes a dramatic transition from average American teenager to glam European vampire princess. But when a devious cheerleader sets her sights on Lucius, Jess finds herself fighting to win back her wayward prince, stop a global vampire war—and save Lucius’s soul from eternal destruction. The one thing you need to know about this book is, that the title is very misleading, since theres no real 'Dating Guide'. Its mostly about how Jessica discovers love and herself through her vampire heritage. I do wish that the ending had been better developed- I felt in some places that the romance was a bit too cheesy, specially at the end. Ans also, I wish the more emotional scenes were more well, well written. I mean, they totally had the potential to make me cry, and really make me feel, but they didnt because it felt she had kind of rushed through them. But in all, the book was pretty awesome. And a totally great for when you want an intense, but funny romance with a sexy hero and a wonderful heroine. I'll give it 3.9 stars out of 5. READ IT. I dont think you'll regret it. xx CLG.

Forever Confused

WHY DID THE LATEST GLEE MAKE ME CRY?
Actually thats easy- CAUSE IT WAS BEAUTIFUL BICHEZZZZ.
If you have not, then you MUST watch it.
I'm going to do the exact aisle dance at my wedding.

I am so confused.
Yes SAT? No SAT?
What about early decision? What about COLLEGES?
How do you chose the best, where do you START?
Is A levels even important?
What if my GPA doesnt step up?
Am I going to be stuck here forever?
Will I get a chance to escape?
