Firelightpixie LuvTyler13 Firelightpixie I don't know how to summerize it myself so this summary is from the back of the book. "Anna is not sick, but she might as well be. By age thirteen, she has undergone countless surgeries, tranfusions, and shots so that her older sister, Kate, can somehow fight the leukemia that has plagued her since childhood. The product of preimplantation genetic diagnosis, Anna was concieved as a bone marrow match for Kate-A life and role that she has never challenged...until now. Like most teenagers, Anna is beginning to question who she truly is. But unlike most teenagers, she has always been defined in terms of her sister. So, Anna makes a decision that for most would be unthinkable-a decision that will tear her family apart and possibly have fatal consequences for the sister she loves." i am commenting on the type that I am changing to bold. So she was born specifically so that her sister could live? she was purposely "made" for her sister? that seems really selfish Yep. In the book Anna sue's her parents for medical emancipation so that she doesn't have to give her sister a kidney. It's really sad. You should read it. wow... who is the author? and that quote is awesome xd

Firelightpixie Miss Cherubi I'm never on at the right time.
I always miss the time where everyone is on at once.
D: Aww! I'm sorry Cherubi!
Where do you live? Maybe it's the time difference.
@Heather We're all on less but that's to be expected.
I just finished reading "My Sister's Keeper". I have never cried over a book so much, except when I read "A Boy Called 'It'." It's just so sad!
I never saw the movie, but now I have to go rent it, I know they changed the ending so I'm curious to see what they did. I'm in the central time zone, so right now it's 1:53 pm.
It's hard to be on in the evenings, because I have marching.

And yeah, it'll be a miracle if I can get online on the weekends in September and October. I have competitions every weekend.
I'll spend as much time here as I can before school starts.

Good luck in the competitions! The closest thing I come to playing an instrument is the drums on Guitar Hero! XD
But I'm left handed so I'm sort of limited when it comes to musical instruments.
That is odd. I've been in college for 2 weeks now and I thought we started kind of late!

I grabbed it earlier for 600! wow! 600! (I do not know what that equals out to be for me but oh well) THANK YOU ANYWAYS heart @ Cherubi: Good luck in your competitions! I play the flute but I have never been in a marching band... it sounds like a lot of work (i am the lazy type). xd My grade school used to start after labor day, it was the weirdest time and different from everybody else.. I also live in central time (I live in wisconsin) What about you? (you, of course, do not have to say if you would prefer to keep it private) ^_^
