I'm so sorry my post wasn't up yesterday. My internet wasn't working so I couldn't do my blog, but I'm here now and that's what's up!
I've decided to do my post in sections because I like sci-fi books, tv shows, and movies.
Books- I love sci-fi books! Sci-fi/fantasy books were the only books I would read as a kid, and now that I've widened my scope, I still prefer sci-fi/fantasy! My favorite sci-fi books in middle school were the Uglies books, by Scott Westerfield. When I was a freshman in high school I started reading Twilight, which seems irrelevant, but really isn't. Because Stephenie Meyer wrote the Twilight saga, and she also wrote a little book called The Host. The Host is one of my favorite sci-fi books. Last year when I was a sophomore I really liked all of Douglas Adams' books, even though they are really sci-fi farces, they are definitely just really good and worth reading. Recently I just finished reading The Hunger Games, I really loved it. My best friend just gave me Catching Fire as a birthday present, but I haven't had time to start reading it. The one thing I really like about sci-fi books is how the people in them are taken out of their sci-fi world and thrown into the harshness of nature, it shows that even humans in such a high tech world can still survive in nature. Also, the action is great!
TV- One of my favorite tv channels is Sy-fy (I hate the fact that they changed it from Sci-Fi, btw) I don't have tv, so I can't really watch it a lot. I'm not really into Star Trek, though I'm sure I would be if I ever got a real chance to watch it. The sci-fi show I really love is Dr Who. I am absolutely, totally, forever, and always going to be obsessed with this show. I will never stop loving it. My brother has tried to get me into Torchwood, but I've always gone back to The Doctor. David Tennant is my favorite Doctor by far! Though, I'm starting to like Matt Smith a little more. My best friend (her name is Moriah, so whenever I mention her, something I'll probably do a lot, just know she's my bestest friend) and I are going to be Weeping Angels for Halloween this year! We're super pumped!
Movies- I also really like sci-fi movies. My favorites are Inception, The Matrix, Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, The Fifth Element, and the X Men movies. I really like the action and the gadgets. It's sort of hard for me to get obsessed with movies because they are so short. But I was obsessed with Bill and Ted's forever. Even though Bill and Ted's isn't true sci-fi, it's still really good!
Now, I know this post is just supposed to be about sci-fi, but I just wanted to talk about a few more things.
My birthday was great! I got a decent amount of money, and quite a few gifts. I got a bike, a new phone, perfume, a camcorder, books, and that's about it. I saw Easy A with my friends and it was super funny. If you haven't seen it, I highly suggest it!
On another note, this week is homecoming week at my school. We've been having theme days every day and it's been really fun. Monday was character day and I dressed as Hermione Granger; today was old person day and I wore some of my grandma's clothes and put baby powder in my hair! Tomorrow is the PSAT, I'm really nervous because I want to do good so I can get scholarships. It's also college shirt day, and I don't have a college shirt so I might have to wear my stupid uniform. I really hope not.
Well, I guess that's all from me for now.
DFTBA - Emilie
