im glad my mom died by jennette mccurdy

my sister told me about this book. i love it. ive known about it for awhile now, and ive seen it everywhere, but i felt like the book was more about… i dont know, something not interesting and for me. so i avoided reading it. but then, on a random day in december, i came across an audiobook on spotify that came with my premium. i was really bored so i was thinking of listening to the first 5 mins. yeah i listened the next 3 hours actually.

i have never watched icary or sam & cat. but i knew about what i was. yes guys, hate me for never watching those shows. but i got a good feel for the shows through this book. if you dont know, jennette mccurdy was an actor for icary and was sam in sam & cat. she played a sarcastic role in the shows. also she loved food in her character. her book, “im glad my mom died” is her telling the story behind all the acting. and how unhappy she truly was. jennette had 3 brothers, they dont play a big part in her book, she lived with her gramdma, grandpa, dad and mom obviously. they had a pretty interesting household, no household is normal so yeah. her mother’s dreams since SHE was a kid was to be an actor, but her parents never let her. so when jennette was 6, her mom put her in her first audition. at first, jennette was fine about it, she was a good actor, and the best part was making her mom proud and happy. jennette and her mom had a really great bond. they were each other’s only friends and best friends. nuh uh. as she grew up, her fame exploded. and jennette felt like she was growing up too fast. and at the same time, she was still a kid. her mother controlled everything about jennette, her clothes, food, friends, hygiene, and social media. they had zero secrets kept. once jennette turned 18, she wanted to be on her own. her mother was soooo angry about it. dude, her mom is crazy, she said some nasty things id cry if someone ever spouted such things to me. but jennette was fine for some reason. anyways their relationship turned bitter after she did some things behind her mom’s back. it was just crazy. then her mom passed away. its not important how and why. whats important is how jennette grew from it. in some bad ways. she had an eating disorder. which messed up a lot of her life. guys this book lowwwkeeey funny ok? its so ateee

wowww im in 7th grade. and i hate it, and heres why.
1: aubree isnt here. my best friend since 4th grade has left the school. i knew she was moving but her parents made her move early. im sad about it. cause now we’re drifiting apart, i know exactly how this goes. she constantly tells me about her new friends, and im constantly telling her how this school year is different. she seems happier, cause i know shes not the one lonely and having her only friends be rude people who have no manners, judge people constantly for doing nothing and who are boring in general cause they are 7th graders, ew.
2: the rest of the people that moved. me and aubree always talked about who i would talk to if aubree wasnt here, didnt think it’d become reality but it did. and the person i was gonna hang out with instead was apart of me and aubree too. she wasnt ALWAYS, but she was important. her name is too hard to spell but i can say its such a pretty name, we call her jackie. she has wavy long long hair and the prettiest voice. after her best friend dropped her, me and aubree became her best friends. jackie was always quiet, and we liked her either way, cause she listened to me and aubree. she ended up leaving and i never heard from her again.
there was always this group of girls me and aubree would talk to sometimes, they would actually talk to us and about us. not bad stuff, since me and aubree were always together, we were the 6th grade duo, you wouldnt catch us without eachother cause we had every class together and in every class, we’d be together. anyways, about the girls, they were 6th grade’s GIRLS. they usually talk about how someone is, talks, looks, boys, or talk about each other. me and aubree always thought they would be the ones who’d we hang out if one of us left the school. but this year i realized that they really do judge people and it makes me so angry. i was sitting at lunch and saw a substitute teacher sitting alone awkwardly eating lunch. why is he eating in the cafeteria anyways, and then some student far and him talked and when he went over to actually sit with him, my friend emma told me he was weird for it. but all i saw was a lonesome person, and i hate seeing awkward people alone, i pity them. alexa, another one apart of the group of girls, shes nice and all, but careless, her parents didnt teach her manners. along with leyla. i actually hate this girl, i think the only reason why everyone else talks to her is because she shares her homework, other than that i dont know. she constantly tells me to shut up and everybody else, and is a feen for food. the other people are the same mostly. the thing about that group is that they know the only reason why i talk to them is because aubree isnt there, so i feel really weird, eventually ill adapt without aubree.
so many people left and im not about to talk about them all, but everyone who made school exciting left, and its so sad that i walk alone in the hallways, i used to always look back to see if aubree was still following me.
3: people i walk past like were strangers. i could name a good 20 people that i used to talk to last year everyday. but now we have no classes and we dont even greet eachother. i know it happens every year but its a big thing for us because last year, theyre were less teachers so we all had some class together somewhere somehow. i like my classes now with the students i have now, but its also still different with aubree because i never had a second choice after aubree. mando, short of armando. last year me and aubree had a quad for the year too. kristjan, aubree, me and mando. we always sat next to eachother in homeroom and it was so yes. i cant even explain how much i miss kristjan. he was my best friend, and the fact that he still remembers to text me every now and then, it makes me so sad. mando and i have no classes together, and we walk past eachother like we’ve never talked. one day i was walking to my car and saw mando, i ran over and the only thing i asked him was, “do you miss kristjan?” and he smiled and said yea. in the quad, we had our duos too. kristjan and aubree both left us without saying bye to everyone. atleast someone in the school mentions kristjan or aubree everyday, they were pretty important.
NANDO and eddie. nando and mando are different, they were also best friends. our homeroom teacher was so cool that her old students would come visit her every single day, and i mean EVERY SINGLE DAY. just two specific students. eddie and nando. nando is short for fernanado. cause armando and nando sound so similar, me and aubree called him nando. they were really fun and i enjoyed talking to them both. since they were 7th graders back then, i knew they saw me as a child and so i acted like one and they still stayed my friends. i have a lot of pictures with everyone back then. very thankful i took them, cause i look back and think about how fun 6th grade was. now in the hallways, i walk past nando and eddie like strangers, i just know everything about them. nothing much.
4: teachers. not that big on teachers but ms martinez, my 6th grade homeroom, science, and social studies teacher, i love her. and i wish i had another chance to talk to her, i remember the last day of school for me, we had a very short talk because the bell was about to ring, and i just remember telling her im leaving. but in reality she was the one leaving. it was my last day of the school year, it was her last day being there at all. i left early and i just remember giving her my note. and i put my heart into that note, it was short but i hope she knows that i love her. she was funny and ALWAYS let everything slide, my class was the reason she left, but also i know she had a lot of fun being with us. she gave me good grades and literally just was the best teacher, she got yelled at because of me and aubree, yet she never yelled at us. forever my favorite teacher. (everyone says that i know.)
5: im lonely, its hard to explain lonely because i DO have friends and i DO talk to them. but its different cause theyre the ones actually talking, with aubree and jackie, i was open and it was just so nice being with them. i hate school. i hate walking alone and i hate doing things alone. yes its alone even if im with a bunch of my friends. they dont even KNOW ME.
the one thing i like about school. my new school best friend (not aubree replacement)
eva. shes VERY quiet but shes soooo pretty and nice. and she listens to me. so i love her. i only have one class with her but yea. aubree and eva were friends last year too. crazy to think now im the one talking to her. and shes the only person i look up to talking with.

Hè năm nay con được đi rất nhiều nơi. Đầu tiên là đi NJ đám cưới cậu Liêm. Sau đó là qua nhà bác Trường ở hai tuần thì cả nhà lái xe qua VA chơi hai ngày xong rồi lái về. Một tuần sau đó thì con, mẹ và chị ThucLam bay qua Cape Coral trước, tất cả mọi người đi sau đó một tuần. Thế là ba mẹ con có một tuần rất là yên tĩnh, mẹ và con ngủ tới giờ mẹ làm việc luôn. Nhũng sau tuần đó thì nhà lại đông đúc trở lại. Và bây giờ thì chỉ còn vài ngày nữa là con về nhà để chuẩn bị cho năm học mới. Hết

Nhưng chị ThucLam còn một bài kiểm tra vào ngay thứ tư và thứ năm, cho nên hôm thứ năm đó chị vừa làm bài xong là ba sẽ đón chị sớm, sau đó ba chở hai chị em lên bà nội, nana sẽ tới đó đón hai đứa. Còn chị ThucDan thì tối thứ năm đó cũng sẽ bay qua New York gặp hai dì Uyên và Kim và chơi ở NY mấy ngày. Thế là o? nhà chỉ con ba và mẹ. Không biết mẹ sẽ làm gì đây.

Tuần rồi cậu và hai em qua nhà con chơi nhân dịp nghỉ mùa zuân cả nhà lái xe đi El Paso thăm chỗ cậu đóng quân hồi trước, và ghé một thắng cảnh gọi là White Sands. Chỗ này rất đặc biệt, chung quanh không có biển nhưng lại có rất nhiều đồi cát, mà lại là cát trăng nên rất đẹp. Con và chị ThucLam leo lên đồi cát để chụp hình nhưng cuối cùng không có tấm nào đẹp, cũng may trong phone mẹ được vài tẩm đẹp hơn. Cả nhà ai cũng thích thú và rất vui.
