DIVERGENT

This may contain spoilers.

I just finished reading Divergent a few days ago. In short, wow.

I don't know how I feel how the first book ended. I just know Divergent really was exciting.

The book didn't start up like I thought but was definitely a page turner around the middle of the book.

I don't want to give away any spoilers but Beatrice was awesome. I admire the parts in the book where she shows her bravery. The small little details are the things that really make a book for me. I love how Beatrice goes to the tattoo parlor to represent her past. I also like how Veronica Roth uses the theme that selflessness and bravery are often the same thing.

I really love how the pit was depicted in my mind. I pictured it as the inside of an ant hill with its many tunnels and hallways. I think it a place that you could easily get lost in.

I hope the Divergent movie depicts the book well like the Catching Fire movie accomplished.

I can't wait to read the Second book which is on hold at the library right now. Hopefully, I will able to read it soon.

I took a couple of tests to determine my faction and concluded that I belong to the Candor Faction: I value honesty.

  

Remember faction before blood

Book summary (you should really read it if you haven't yet):

In Beatrice Prior's dystopian Chicago world, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue—Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. For Beatrice, the decision is between staying with her family and being who she really is—she can't have both. So she makes a choice that surprises everyone, including herself.

During the highly competitive initiation that follows, Beatrice renames herself Tris and struggles alongside her fellow initiates to live out the choice they have made. Together they must undergo extreme physical tests of endurance and intense psychological simulations, some with devastating consequences. As initiation transforms them all, Tris must determine who her friends really are—and where, exactly, a romance with a sometimes fascinating, sometimes exasperating boy fits into the life she's chosen. But Tris also has a secret, one she's kept hidden from everyone because she's been warned it can mean death. And as she discovers unrest and growing conflict that threaten to unravel her seemingly perfect society, she also learns that her secret might help her save those she loves . . . or it might destroy her.

Veronica Roth is the New York Times bestselling author of Divergent, the first in a trilogy of dystopian thrillers filled with electrifying decisions, heartbreaking betrayals, stunning consequences, and unexpected romance.

My new fascination: tattoos

For the past two months, I have been fascinated with tattoos. I love them and their stories.

I found myself lost in the tattoo world.  I have been researching and watching various TV shows involving tattoos. I have been looking at different styles and designs. I looked at numerous quotes that I thought would be awesome tattoos. 

I even created a folder on my laptop dedicated to tattoo ideas from placement to specific designs. 

I found out that I really like script tattoos. 

I just wanted to share some of the tattoos and tattoo ideas that I thought were amazing:

Wow...I never thought about bringing How to Kill a Mockingbird into the tattoo world

Isn't this the coolest? 

I love how the portrait is made. 

This is pretty cool. 

Books! I love how the tattoos forms onto the spine making it look like the books are swaying back and forth.
Pretty awesome. I love the book that is falling at the side. 

I think I just the significance that this quotes is from one of my favorite movies. Can you guess what movie?

Yeah. 

This is one of my favorite ones. I would add on to the quote and say "for wit and inspiration"

Straight to the point. Simple. 

This one is cute. I love it. 

This one is one I would just get the B+

Yup, this one is really cool

I actually have a picture that I made with this quote on it.

I like to believe this quote that represents all of the Mortal Instruments Series

Yeah you can say I have been thinking about tattoos a lot lately. Maybe even over-thinking.

My New Love

I absolutely love the Mortal Instruments Series by: Cassandra Clare.

I'm on the third book which is the City of Glass.

I would highly encourage this series.

What's it about?
1st Book's Description (The City of Bones):

When fifteen-year-old Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder—much less a murder committed by three teenagers covered with strange tattoos and brandishing bizarre weapons. Then the body disappears into thin air. It’s hard to call the police when the murderers are invisible to everyone else and when there is nothing—not even a smear of blood—to show that a boy has died. Or was he a boy?




This is Clary’s first meeting with the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the earth of demons. It’s also her first encounter with Jace, a Shadowhunter who looks a little like an angel and acts a lot like a jerk. Within twenty-four hours Clary is pulled into Jace’s world with a vengeance, when her mother disappears and Clary herself is attacked by a demon. But why would demons be interested in ordinary mundanes like Clary and her mother? And how did Clary suddenly get the Sight? The Shadowhunters would like to know...

Exotic and gritty, exhilarating and utterly gripping, Cassandra Clare’s ferociously entertaining fantasy takes readers on a wild ride that they will never want to end.

Why is it amazing?

In my opinion the characters are more important than anything. More important than the plot, setting, or writing style. The characters make the story. Clare nailed it when it came to the characters. I love the dialogue and how the characters interact with each other. 

They always have something snappy to say at the other. It is amazing how they get anything done in the books so far. 

I'll right an updated version of this review when I finish all the books. So far, so good. 

Did you hear, it's a movie too?


The movie wasn't the best but the dialogue from the book was pretty much the same which I loved. The ity of Bones didn't get much praise but it wasn't a complete fail. Despite the critics, rumors has spread that the second book the City of Ashes is set in pre-production. They're changing up a lot of things to make it a really big success. I hope the 2nd movie is spot on like the Catching Fire Adaption. 

Here's the trailer:







Favorite Quote from series so far:

"All the Stories are True"

Excited.

"Hellooooo, Destiny?

Where have you been? 

I've been looking everywhere for you." 

I know, I know. I been gone for awhile  an awfully long time. 

Today, is going to be a quick post too. 

Double sorry. 

I just wanted to tell everyone that I am really trying to dedicate myself to my writing. 

I'm really pumped and I promise that isn't one of those new year resolutions that you never finish. And that is because I actually started writing more before the new year: two weeks into December. 

This means that writing is already starting to form a habit in my mind. 

I'm super excited. 

Wanna sneak peek of my short story's cover?

 

FYI I only did the text and found the picture for this cover. 

Who ever drew this piece of art is awesome. 

This quote is by Thomas S. Monson. 

I'm so excited. I'm actually putting something together and finishing what I started. Once i'm finished I'll send you guys a link to it on Wattpad. 

Nothing fancy but a good start. 

Ok, I have to go. Have a great day. 

Have a great year. 

Disappointed

I'm disappointed. i really wanted to volunteer at the library for my volunteering hours for the National Honors Society but my schedule can't fit with their hours. They basically said they couldn't find an opportunity to match my needs. I have to say I was kind of upset.

That was my number one choice, but sadly it is not meant to be. This is where I would enter the 'everything happens for a reason' cliche. 

I searched and searched this local site for volunteer opportunities. i feel like i'm being too picky with this volunteer stuff. Yes, I should do something where I feel as though I am happy to serve, but I read something earlier about familiarity. 

"You have to be comfortable being uncomfortable."-Jillian Micheals?

Jump into new opportunities and experiences. And that's what I'm going to do with this volunteering thing. 

I might learn something incredible about myself or even learn something incredible about someone else. 

“Familiarity can provide the misguided illusion of understanding. Assume nothing.” -Truth Devour 

I just love my quotes! 

So we'll see what I'll end up doing. And I'll blog all about it. See you soon ladies and gentlemen. 

Blue Jays! (The annoyance of sports)

This guy is cheering for his daughter's team shouting "BBBBBLUUUUUEE JJJJAAAAYS!"
I just sitting here wondering how does he get his voice to sound so loud. So very loud. It sounds like it is big booming speaker screaming blue jays.
This school's bleachers are just crazy old school. Like wood, old school. When have I ever seen wooden bleachers in such a setting. Never.

I want to look up one the names scribbled into the bleachers but I'm afraid I'm going to find some weird fourth year old on Facebook. Most of the names are really worn out so they are barely legible. I'm pretty sure that these are originally to the school. No wait. I'm absolutely positive.

I sound like an old person when I say this but they don't make 'em like this anymore.
The blue jays are starting to lose (the opposing team) and I'm supposed to say I'm excited for their failure but I'm not. I don't really care.

Anyway, since the theme here has been surrounded my sport related things I thought I make a list of some of the funniest sport quotes to make me feel better because I really don't care to be here:



1. "If practice makes perfect, and no one is perfect, why practice?" -Derek P


2. "The important thing is not winning, it's making everyone else lose."-Stacy Aguilar


3. "Hunting is not a sport. in a sport both sides should know they're in a game"- unknown


4. "Real men date cross country runners. Catch one if you can"- Unknown


5. " If you want to come in second...follow me!"-Unknown

(Quotes are one of my favorite things about life- I love them so much)
