Desert Island Games, Episode 3: Books.

Works as a great source of entertainment, but also as a great fire starter if need be.

Along with my makeup, and my movies, I have room in my bag for books as well! And when the cable is out, and I have a full face of makeup on, I might as well read a book. Waiting on my food to cook? Read a book.

1. Flowers in the Attic.

Preferably, I would like to take the entire series. But if I had to choose just one of them to take with me, this would be the one.

2. The Sun and Her Flowers.

Who doesn't love a good poetry book, and especially the work of Rupi Kaur? If you're ever feeling a little lonely and heartbroken on the island, this is the perfect read.

3. The Sun Also Rises.

I personally really, really, love Ernest Hemingway, and I feel like this book is one I would never get tired of reading. After all, who knows how long I'll be on the deserted island for.

4. Fifty Shades of Grey. The Trilogy.

Don't diss this choice until you have read them yourself. I'm not taking them for the erotic side of these books - it simply is a GREAT plot and a very interesting story. It is different from other books around when it was released. It is not the typical 'girl loves a boy but the boy loves another girl' love story, and I'm here for it.

5. You Are A Badass.

This needs no explanation. If I'm ever feeling a little discouraged on the island, my shelter fell apart, my fire won't start, etc. I'll just pick this bad boy up and have a read.

6. Mr. Mercedes

Because, again, if you've ever read this - you know why I'm taking this. If you're a Stephen King lover - you know why I'm taking this. I love this book, I love Stephen King, I love the plot, I love the idea, I love it all.

7. The Da Vinci Code.

"I would take the Da Vinci Code, so that I could burn the Da Vinci Code." Sorry, I had to. You either get it or you don't.

Stay tuned for my next episode of Desert Island Games.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
