Hang Out and Post

The mangas I own, I've re-read tons of times, but I generally don't re-read books quite like that. If I do, I let a lot of time pass between readings.

[IrishLiz]

Oh I also liked Fahrenheit 451. I re-read that and To Kill a Mockingbird.

 

I had a hard time when we picked books from a list - I usually had already read most of the books I would even like. That's how I read The Eight - it was way longer than anything else on the list, but I liked it. I also got stuck reading a Clive Cussler book that way and I hated it because it was so predictable.

[khaos]

I haven't re-read anything except the wimpy kid books and a few of my little kid books for nostalgia.

 

Higurashi = :devil:. o_O

[Noog]

I really might be alone in this opinion but my favorite book that I've ever been assigned to read is The Great Gatsby, hands down. Amazing book.

[Piticent]

IDK, you might be :guiltysmiley: Well, since I AM a freshman, I can say I liked of Mice and Men till the end also...it was sad. LENNIE DIDN'T DESERVE TO DIE! CURSE YOU STIENBEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECK!

Which book of his did you read? I love Clive Cussler, he's one of my favorites, but I generally sit there often rolling my eyes. He plays off the whole, macho-man stereotypes too much. You know like, the character always has to end up saving a beautiful woman and they fall madly in love, or he barely gets off an island alive, and he wants a beer before he'll talk about it. :rolleyes_anim: Not to mention he doesn't get very far off the "world domination" theme in his Dirk Pitt and Kurt Austin series. That's why I like his Oregon Files series the best. They're all unique.

[khaos]

Honestly, I've grown bored f all this book chat. -_- (no offence) :3

[rachiee]

Ok then...

In other news, I've been feeling quite despondent and crappy these past few days. I realized that I've ended up bursting into tears over the silliest and most futile things. :|

I feel it's no use explaining unless someone else wants to hear. /:

[khaos]

Silliest and futile things... like what, might I ask?

[rachiee]

:laughingsmiley: Teenage girl problems. 1.) I like a guy (and we're pretty good friends), I have his number but I'm way too scared to tell him I like him, and 2.) I'm literally a thousand miles away from my best friends. (However, I did text my best friend earlier today and she made my entire morning a lot better. <3 )

Also, not necessarily a typical "teenage girl problem", but I started crying hysterically last night...because of the deaths of two fictional characters. I don't know if that's normal or not, but that was kind of the upset of my week. :(

 

D: I'm starting to sound like an over-dramatic stereotypical teenage girl now. Oh well.

[khaos]

well the deaths of the characters, i can understand, unless it was a LOT A LOT of crying. I've never cried about a death of a character, but i have gotten teary-eyed a few times. :/

 

the rest i can't really say anything about :worried:

[Wembly]

^_^ I never considered myself particularly 'girly' of a girl but I must admit, that there are definitely times when a good cry just needs to be out of my system. I think your entitled to a good release of emotions every once in a while. Don't like it get to you. *sing* don't worry, be happy :whistle: that's me doing the whistling part of that song.

[Naamah D.]

I'm deff a girly girl. Maybe not a stereotypical one but pretty darn close.

Oh it was definitely a Dirk Pitt book - I was rolling my eyes the whole time. This is how it went: crazy ridiculous situation, Dirk Pitt single-handedly saves the day, repeat ad naseum and add him getting the girl.

Agreed! Sometimes it's nice to just get all the emotions out and out of your system. It can help.

[Piticent]

Honestly, being a boy, I've never understood why girls have so much drama. No offense <_<

:laughingsmiley: Yes, that sums up the majority of his books. I still really enjoy them, I just wish that bit would be toned down a bit.

[-Ryan]

Hope it all gets sorted out, Rachiee. ^^

 

Its okay Piticent, I dont get it either. Just nod and smile. :yes:

 

 

[Wembly]

Sometimes, that's for the best. I'll let you in on the secret, sometimes we don't get it either :whistle:

[Syrin of Neopia]

I'm a girl, but Citadel Squirrel is right, nodding and smiling will benefit you greatly in the long run. Just ask my husband :)

 

I dislike that school is starting. Anybody else in the college/university environment have to trek across campus for one class with only ten minutes to do so? Because I do & am not looking forward to it . . .

 

Oh, also, advice time: Any suggestions on (filling) snack foods I can take with me? I don't have a long enough break to grab lunch & I'm on campus from 9-5, so I need to grab something to snack on while I'm walking between classes to keep me from fainting or becoming malnourished . . .

[rachiee]

Thanks everyone. You're the best. :wub_anim:

I honestly didn't understand most girl drama until I found out I had a crush on that guy (and eventually found out he was moving). Also, I never really had a true crush on anyone before we became friends. :|

[khaos]

@Syrin: Oreos. :D (not the Publix one :sad01_anim: )

 

@Rach: No problem, we're glad to help. (Wait, did I even help? :worried:)

[Wembly]

Oreos! Now that's what I should have gotten when I just went to the store. I think I'll make an apple tart now though, hope it doesn't suck. But a really good thing to snack on to give you energy is either granola of some sort or trail mix or some dried fruit. It really does wonders for you for energy/concentration. Personally I like applesauce for snacks too but apparently a lot of people think its odd :rolleyes_anim: .

[jumpingbeans]

/offtopic Wembly, do you have that Avatar/Profile Pic you wanted me to put up?

 

And good luck. I'm not a good cook, but I can cook.

[khaos]

I can't cook and I'm a bad cook. The best I can do is work the Microwave. Haha xD

[Wembly]

Okay, so I guess it has to be a user photo because it looks dumb tiny for the avatar. And the apple tart didn't come out TOO bad, it kind of fell apart on the one side so it looked silly but it tasted alright.
