"I love rock n' roll, so put another dime in the jukebox baby."

After watching the movie The Runaways, I've found myself really interested in Joan Jett. I can't help but admire her style and attitude. She has ambition running through her veins, a uniqueness that she can call her own, edgy fashion sense, talent, and a "I don't care what anyone thinks about me" view on life to top it off. I guess you could say she is the female Nikki Sixx! Maybe that's what I like about her so much...

Allow me to let you enjoy some lovely pictures of Joan Jett that I found on Photobucket...

Books, Books, and More Books!

Lately, I haven't been able to find a book to entertain my short attention span for no more than a couple chapters. But, that's all about to change, 'cause I bought two books the other day that sound VERY interesting...



The first one I bought is The Carrie Diaries by Candace Bushnell. Candace Bushnell is also the author of the Sex and the City novels. I've never read the Sex and the City books, but I love the TV series! I guess you could say The Carrie Diaries is a prequel to Sex and the City...a look into Carrie Bradshaw's life before she was a writer and lived in New-York City. The story starts back when Carrie was a Senior in high school, living in a small town, and aspiring to be a writer. I don't know why, but I've always felt like I could relate to Carrie Bradshaw. I think there is just something about her that MOST women can relate to.

The second book I bought is the 4th book in the Gossip Girl series (Because I'm Worth It). I've been lovin' the Gossip Girl series since sometime last year. But, I've never gotten around to watching the actual TV show. I will one of these days though...

Since I'm on the subject of books and such, there is something I would like to share with you (if you care that is). Two of my favorite famous people,Nikki Sixx and Kat Von D,are both writing another book (not together). I don't know too much about either of the books, although I do have SOME info to share...



From all of Nikki Sixx's Tweets, Myspace Post, and Facebook Statuses, I can tell that it's a photography book of some sorts. I REALLY CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS ONE TO COME OUT!!



Kat Von D's book is about what she knows/does best: Tattoos. From what I have heard, it's suppose to be a lot of her assorted diary entries. The diary entries were written after her tattooing jobs. A little tattoo diary thing going on you could say.

Well, I can not wait for those two books to come out! I especially can't wait to get started on my books that I bought the other day. I think I'll start with The Carrie Diaries...

Until next time...

Nikki Sixx & Kat Von D Break-up

To my surprise yesterday morning, I read on Facebook that Nikki Sixx and Kat Von D had broken up after two years of going together. I wasn't too sure if I should believe it or not. Soooooooooooooooo, I decided to look into it to see for myself and I found out that, in fact, it IS true. My curiosity ended soon after reading Nikki Sixx's Myspace blog (I just love reading his Myspace blog!). In his blog entry (titled "Katherine and nikki"), Nikki says "We are taking a break from our relationship for reasons that we will choose to keep personal." Well, all I have to say is that I wish both of them the very best!

Oh, and by the way, on a completely different subject...I would like to apologize for being lazy on my posting. I will use learning tons of lines for an upcoming play and taking lots and lots picture (as always!) as an excuse. But, I plan on being more faithful to my blog. hee hee

Until next time...

For The Love of Nikki Sixx

Yes, my own friend made a group on Facebook called “Nikki Sixx fail”. He always has told me “Nikki Sixx fail” JUST to make me upset. But now, he has taken it too far! The war is on now because I also made a group on Facebook called “I Want the Group “Nikki Sixx fail” to be Pulled Down”. So far, I’m the only member, but WE can change that. Please, if you have a Facebook, join my group and stop “Nikki Sixx fail”! Come on, for the love of Nikki Sixx!

The Heroin Diaries: A Year in the Life of a Shattered Rock Star

Stars (with the most of five and the least of one)- *****

Pages-432

“A head-on collision was about to happen yet I was to stubborn to take a hint.” –Nikki Sixx

Welcome to the shattered life of famous Mötley Crüe bassist Nikki Sixx. Join him on his horrific journey of addiction (heroin, cocaine and alcohol) through his diary entries from Christmas 1986 to Christmas 1987. After reading this book, you will wonder how he made it out of his addiction alive. The Heroin Diaries also has a soundtrack from Nikki Sixx’s band, Sixx: A.M. It’s called The Heroin Diaries Soundtrack.

My Mom and I read this book at the same time. We both enjoyed his style of writing. I think it is absolutely amazing that someone who is addicted to heroine (among other things) could write this well. This whole book is a mixture of emotions, ranging from anger to happiness to hatred to loneliness. Some parts I read in this book would make me want to cry. They were so painful that you could really feel his pain. Then some parts were so funny that I would just bust out laughing! It was a very interesting read as you can tell. But on top of all that, I learned something extremely important from Nikki Sixx’s diary: NEVER EVER DO DRUGS. They will absolutely ruin your life.
