Life is...weird.

Well...nothing really new from the last time, except a book. I got this book on like Wednesday last week and I read it in like 2 to 3 days. It is one of the best books I have ever read!! Read it! The book is called "Little Brother" by Cory Doctorow. The book is written in first person, by a boy called Marcus, a.k.a w1n5t0n. The story take place a few years from now. All the students have a computer of their own and all. Hes on the web, and learns Harajuku Fun Madness has realized a new clue. Has anyone heard of ARG? Its Alternate reality game. You have to solve puzzles in real life and you play online. Hard to explain, but yeah, that's what happens. You have to find the clue, solve it and send it to the owner of the game, before other groups finish it. Marcus's group consists of Darryl, Van, and Julu. He invites them all to go and though Darryl protests at first, Marcus convinces him. The school is full of security cameras and the library books have arphids. Arphids are basically what is in your credit cards and such. They are some kind of identification and they can track students, when students have a library book or something. Despite all this, Marcus and Darryl bunk school and meet Van and Julu near a subway. Btw, this all takes place in San Francisco. So they come to the place where the clue is said to be and use their wifinders to get the clue, but something really tragic happens! The Bay Bridge is bombed!!!! The polic usher them all into the underground subway, but Darryl is somehow hurt, so they dont go into the subway and look for help. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) mistakes them for terrorists and take them away. They intoregate and find out they really aren't. They let them free, but still keep an eye on them. Van, Marcus and Julu are free, but Darryl seems to be missing. Soon after Marcus comes to realize, the DHS are suspecting everyone of terrorists in San Francisco. He knows the DHS is keeping Darryl and he wants revenge on them. Btw, if you didn't know DHS is basically the government. =/ So anyway he can't fight in front of them, but he can behind them. He decides to take revenge on them through the internet and technology. He builds an encrypted site, along with an anonymous army of followers. Read this book! Its great. It taught me all I needed to know about encrypting and stuff. Its just amazing. ReAd iT nOw!!! So yeah.
I just finished an essay for the outward bound scholarship. I hope I have done a good job. I really want to go on that trip!!
I also just finished my review for the book "The Secret Under My Skin" by Janet McNaughton. It was actually pretty good. It talked about the environment and the government. It was thought-provoking. Read it.
And yeah...I got to go make a speech now. So talk to you later. =) Bye.
