Be my shining star….

Monday, November 21st, 2005

Well… this category, as well as the whole blog was unmaintained for a while… but now, I, the Starseeker, will do something, I’ve never done before. Its nothing spectecular but very uncommon for me, since I am reading less books in a year than I own computers… My book recommendation for today is:

Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli. In this book, the narrator “Leo” talks about the new girl student at his school… who is really really diffrent from the students, this small highschool has seen before. Her name is “Stargirl”. She dances through her schooldays, entertains everyone with her mysterious way of kindness and happyness and seems to like everyone. Leo, who hopelessly falls in love with her, watches her popularity grow until nearly everyone likes her, imitates her and wants to be like her. She seems to be the only one on the whole school, that lets the very own character out. She is real.
Things suddenly change, when she, without purpose and just because she is just too kind, jurts the pride of all students during a Basketball game.
The book tells the heartrending story about a girl, who just is herself and a boy who can’t decide between being loved by his schoolmates or being loved by Stargirl.

My cousin Carla told me about that book and lend it to me. First, I was a bit sceptic about the storyline, but when I had read the first few pages, I was like trapped in this story. Already the cover picture fascinated my very much. The character Stargirl is the kind of girl I looked for very long. She is a real star… a treasure for everyones life. Its some kind of sad that its just a book. When I was reading it on the train, I was very moved and was about to cry all the time… now, I am still irritated by the shining “Stargirl”… (who really matches my nick… doesn’t she?)

Much too early

Monday, November 14th, 2005

Hi my friends,

currently its Monday, 5.10AM and I got up about 15 minutes ago. Its much to early and I have a very strong need to sleep. Today in University, there is only one lecture that I have to visit… but I, as said, have to, so there’s no use in dreaming.

So far… have a nice(er) day (than me). Your starseeker
