The Perks of Being A Wallflower

I actually don't know how to start this.

Or if I even want to.

I'm actually very glad I chose this book. And I'm not just being cheesy because my English teacher will see this. But I might sound cheesy because I really do mean it.

My book is about a boy named Charlie who writes letters about things he goes through and everything he observers. We actually don't get told who he writes to, he just writes. And I think that's my favorite part. When I write in my journal I think the most important thing to have down is the date and time you wrote it. I'm not very big on putting my name on my gems. But about the book. I want to tell you about my favorite part, well scene, Charlie had a bestfriend named Michael, who committed  suicide. When he makes two new friends Sam and Nothing(whose name is ry Patrick), he always speaks of how powerful and unstoppable he feels when he's with them. There is this part where it's almost like he's watching himself like on a tv show where Sam, Nothing and him are driving under a tunnel. Sam gets up, and yells what Charlie calls a " fun scream " while the song Landslide comes on. Sam later  sits down and Charlie watches as her and nothing laugh and he says to himself "And in that moment, I swear we are infinite."

That part makes me really happy because throughout the book Charlie never seems sure about what he's aloud to be happy about, but at that moment he knew what he felt and only that.

I'd complain about how I would rather be doing something else like everyone else is probably going to do, but truthfully I don't really find this that hard or boring. But I'm not sure how I'm going to write every week about this book without repeating some stuff. And hopefully next time I'll do this assignment on a computer at school so that I can put pictures and make this more fun to look and read. Maybe I should've warned you about how boring this was going to be when I started writing. (Lol sorry) 

My name is Lesli, but everyone mostly calls me Les. You're probably feeling uncomfortable because of my nickname for me, but I like it. I actually like it better than just Lesli. Another thing about my name is that its missing an E. Which for some reason puzzles everyone. I wish I could stay anonymous with this being my first blog. But since it's for my English class everyone needs to know that I will be writing these entry's. One of my favorite movies ever is Breakfast At Tiffany's. And one of my favorite people ever is Audrey Hepburn. I love writing and can actually say I love what I write and its all thanks to her. The first journal I ever got for myself had her on the cover. That's when I started drawing and writing poems. Writing and drawing things that I didn't know I was even capable of creating. I'm a perfectionist which at times sucks. I strongly believe in a karma. My strategy is that we all have a karma bank. I sort of stuck to that ever since I seen a movie where a man gave a women cents for food and said it was for his karma bank. They, of course end up falling in love and I bet his karma bank is higher than its ever been. I probably lost you when I was ranting about my name, and I'm kind of okay with that. I've always had this problem with writing. Once I start, I could continue on and on. But I think that happens to anyone that has a passion whether it's writing, making music or even just talking. I kind of want to get to the point and say that if you're reading this it's because you wanted to, no one can ever make you do something you don't want to do. Always remember that. I hope you learn how to love writing. I hope it's all because of your first book.
