Let's see how many references I can squeeze into one chapter. See how many you get!

It's been an interesting month. I haven't been reading as much as I wanted to. I've estimated it, and I've only read roughly 394 pages. If you can read slowly, you can read quickly. It's not that I'm a slow reader, I just haven't had time for it. School, homework and practising 40 hours a day take a lot of time. If only I could write 15 words a second, my life would be easier.

I heard Country Roads on the radio today, and I felt scared. I looked for a tsunami or meteors, but thankfully a disaster hasn't happened yet. Sometimes I wonder if this is the real life.

There's a Thunder warning in our area, but it seemed to be a false alarm, so I'm On Top of the World right now. There's a beautiful Vanilla Twilight, but no Fireflies. Some girls in our class like to swish and flick their hair a lot, and it's annoying. I need to go to bed before getting killed. Or worse, expelled. The Clocks are ticking, and I feel like I'm anywhere but Paridise. I finished my maths homework, and one of the answers was 9 3/4. I feel like I'm going to have a million dreams keeping me awake tonight, but some things come alive when everything is dark.

I hid 18 references in this chapter. Some are obvious, others are not. How many did you find?
