Picture This

Recently I was at a sleepover with a whole bunch of my friends. We did many things that night. One of the things that we did was watch lots of movies. We watch Picture This, The Hangover, etc. The movie that I really enjoyed was Picture This. Picture this is about a girl named  Mandy, who is a nobody. Mandy has a major crush on the most popular guy in school, Drew Patterson. At the beginning  like i said she is a nobody and she is doing all she can to get Drew to notice her. The first thing that she does to get him to notice her is she joins the swim team, but when she is walking by the pool she hits her head, falls in the pool and then Drew saves her and that is when he starts to notice her. Then a couple days later Drew asks Mandy to come to the "Legendary Patterson Party" with him. So she says yes. On the day of the party Mandy is grounded so she says she is going over to her friends house to study. They go to the mall to buy the perfect outfit but while they are at the mall, Drew's old girlfriend and her friends try to sabotage Mandy. Not only are they girls trying to sabotage Mandy, Mandy's dad is calling her every 30 minutes so make sure shes okay, and he calls her using video chat. So not only is Mandy getting sabotaged by the girls, she phone punks her dad every 30 minutes and she comes out in the end. Mandy makes it to the Party all right and there is a happily ever after. I really liked this movie. It was very girly and very corny, so if you are in the mood for a good chick flick watch this movie.

#2 More Mad, Marvy Confessions if Georgia Nicholson

In the 6th book of the Confessions of Georgia Nicholson series Georgie and her friend and family all go to america, or Hamburger-a-gogo land. Georgia is extremely excited to go to America because the half American, half Italian Stallion, Masimo is going to be in America. When Georgia is getting ready to go to America, she thinks that is is going to be exactly like England. But when she arrives in America she realizes it is totally different.  One of the first things that she thinks to her self is " I have not seen anyone who hasn't got a mustache. And frankly that is not attractive in a woman" (106). Georgia is completely surprised at how friendly the people are. " The receptionist(Candi) practically split her mouth in half, she was smiling and saying 'alrighty' so much"(110). Georgia is also surprised at how much the people eat in America. When Georgia was at the pool they ordered tea and ham sandwiches as a snack. When the sandwiches arrived, the" sandwich was made out of two loaves of bread, chips, a huge gherkin and a piglet" (112). All the humor in these books is why I enjoy reading these books so very much.

Reading Journal #1Confessions of Georgia Nicholson(series)

The quotes I am choosing to talk about are form the fourth book in this series, Dancing in my Nuddy-Pants. " I love my sister, I really do, especially when she is sleeping. I bent over to give her a kiss on her forehead. Without even opening her eyes she biffed me on the head and said 'Notty boy Gingey, notty boy'" (87). This book series is about a girl named Georgia Nicholson. Georgia has a 4 year old sister named Liberty, or Libby for short. Libby is quite a character, she is quite a crazy little girl. She runs around without clothes on, she dresses up and puts makeup on their cat, she is very funny. Seeing how she is only 4 she is in pre-school and can not talk quite properly, which is why she say naughty as notty. He favorite song to sing is "Baa baa bag sheet", and it later becomes "three bind lice." One time Georgia is taking Libby for a walk (she has to be on a leash or else she will run away) and they run into Georgia's crush. While Georgia is talking to him Libby climbs up on his motorbike and starts kissing his cheek, when she was done she said "Gingey did a smelly" (120). When I was reading this book all the parts with Libby in it made me laugh.
