Eating junk in paper towns

Today for breakfast I had a danish and for supper I had a burger, so needless to say my diet is going great. /sarcasm. The eating right is really the hardest part. Well, I haven't been doing great with the actual working out part but I've been doing good.

I also have nothing to say. I just want to read the book...that I'm reading right now...not right now but ummm that I'm in the process of reading. It's John Green's Paper Towns, so far (I'm at around chapter 6, I think) I'm wondering if teenage boys actually call girls "honeybunny" and say things like "you should hit that, she's a sweet honeybunny", I don't really know why I put those in quotes since I doubt they're actual quotes but whatever the quotes stay. Also, I don't like the main girl character, she seems to have no regard for people's property. It really bothers me when people destroy other people's things, it's just so rude. But I'm sure I will learn what her redeeming qualities are soon enough. The book is meant for Young Adults (why do they call teenagers that? People in their 20s are young adults teenagers are not) and it reads like one, it's pretty fast paced, there aren't too many in depth explanations just things happening, that's not a bad thing at all. I can see why teenagers would really enjoy this book I think it's pretty good at describing the feelings of teenagers though I think there is some "adult" in them as there is in many great stories about teenagers. I think that's the whole point. For some reason teens seem to like to watch and read about other teens who seem to have very adult qualities about them. I guess maybe so that they can aspire to be like that. Those characters usually just made me feel incompetent. Anyway, that is my review of the book which I am nowhere near finished reading. I hope that last sentence made some sort of sense.
