Why am I, the queen of all gummy bear addicts, ditching sugar all of sudden? Well, last week my sister introduced me to, HUNGRY FOR CHANGE, a fascinating documentary about the way we eat and diet, and it really inspired me to a) never ever go on another diet-diet, and b) ditch the sugar. But enough about me, lets crack open this week’s batch of nerdy procrastination! 1. Basically, it’s like going through withdrawal, but meanwhile I’m kicking ass on my ToDo list. I was not compensated for my opinion.Whatta week! I’ve been cleared for exercise and I’m doing a No Sugar Detox until April, so I’ve been ping-ponging between lots of energy and focus and … well, something akin to non-specific rage.

I definitely didn't want this one to end, and am anxiously hoping Ernessa writes some more about Davie. It didn't always mean having material things, but the morals and values she encompassed were by far worth more. She used that existence to better herself in every way. The strength she didn't even know she had, makes me wonder if I have some of it in me too.ĭavie is a girl that came from the worst life you can imagine, but didn't let it bring her down. I think I fell in love with a woman! Her character at least. A graduate of Smith College and Carnegie Mellon University’s MFA program, she now lives in Los Angeles. Carter has worked as an ESL teacher in Japan, a music journalist in Pittsburgh, a payroll administrator in Burbank, and a radio writer for American Top 40 with Ryan Seacrest in Hollywood. Just as she’s about to ride off into the LA sunset, a million miles from where she started, the past comes back with a vengeance, threatening to crush Davie’s dreams-and break her heart again.Įrnessa T. When a cruel school prank goes too far, Davie leaves the life she knows and reinvents herself in the glittery world of Hollywood-as a beautiful and successful lounge singer. Tormented endlessly in school and hopelessly in unrequited love with a handsome football player, Davie finds it bittersweet to dream of Molly Ringwald endings. But in her case, life doesn’t imitate art. Just when she’s resigned herself to her fate, she sees a movie that will change her life-Sixteen Candles. She has the meanest mother in the South, and on top of that, she’s pretty sure she’s ugly. Davie Jones-an ugly duckling growing up in small-town Mississippi-is positive her life couldn’t be any worse.
