Features, Reading, and To-do Lists

Hello! Sorry it's been a few days... Seeing as how it's summer and all, nothing terribly noteworth has happened since Sunday, anyway.

So, I have updated a few things here on my blog... For example, at the bottom of this post and every other one, you will now find five little buttons in a row: one to e-mail the post, one to blog about it on your Blogger, one to tweet it on Twitter, one to share it on Facebook, and one to share it on Google Buzz. Another little update is that I have added an About Me page that you can now access in in the sidebar.

Moving on. Seeing as how the first part of the final Harry Potter movie comes out in November, I started reading the 6th book a night or two ago... You see, I only read up until the 5th book. I finished it around the time I was starting middle school. I didn't continue on for two reasons: 1. They were starting to get rather long, drawn out, and grim. 2. Entering middle school, I was soon going to be much more busy.

Well, the point is here that I intend to finish the 6th and 7th books before November. Unfortunately, I also have to read The Lord of the Flies for English class this summer, which, from what I understand, is terribly boring... Oh well. I'd rather not fail the quiz.

I have so much to do before we leave for the family camping trip on the 30th... I would really appreciate a haircut, because I am starting to look like some sort of lion with an unkempt mane. I also need to clear out the disorderly corner of my bedroom where my new desk will soon go, so that I will have a proper place for my laptop. I should probably also buy a swim suit, because I might possibly be spending a day at the Mandalay Bay pool with my friends. I agreed to an art trade on deviantART I'd like to complete... My friend Monica and I have discussed possible plans for hanging out at the mall, and to top it all off, there's a very good chance that I'll be getting my braces off on the 26th.

Ugh... So much to do in eight days. Oh well, I suppose I'll just have to give it my best effort. I should probably be well rested so that I can get some stuff done tomorrow, so good night.
