I'm about half way through the first Hunger Games book, I'm loving it =)

Cool. My boss loves that series. Also, they apparently filmed the the Hunger Games movie in North Carolina. If I didn't have so much else going on, I'd be more tempted to check out at least one of the books.

you should pick up a copy. Its actually makes for a fast read, even though the first book is under 400 pages long. The pace moves rather quickly. Most people I know read it within a few hours.

...I wasn't judging people's tastes in literature. It's a matter of fact that the vast majority of modern literature is not written at the same level of quality as surviving literature from the nineteenth-century and earlier. And you know why this is the case? The standard of education is lower nowadays.

I agree. Also, the way the older books were written seems so much more attractive to me. The way they worded things and many had better morals.

IJWTS the new Shins album is sooooooo good. James Mercer is one of the best songwriters today and he really has a knack for capturing the human condition in wonderful songs.

I'll read the Hunger Games when you read the whole of the Divine Comedy.

True story. <&#8212; Shameless stealing of your catchphrase.

IJWTS~I contacted my former best friend today to basically clear the air and to apologize for anything I've done or said to maybe hurt her and the rest of the girls in my former group. She has yet to write me back. I'm just so ready to put this all behind me and move on. Just please pray all goes well and that God's will be done in our friendship. I'm not expecting to be best friends again but I'm ready to put this behind me and clear my conscience of anything I might've done. I haven't spoken to her since everything happened and quite frankly I'm petrified of getting hurt again but at least I can say I've done all I could do.

It took me two years to contact my friend after our fall out. Then I realized how much better my life was without her. Sometimes, you have to do what you have to do to clear the air, but it doesnt mean you have to be best friends again.




I told myself tonight I relax and do homework. I had a dream that the group contacted me and said how lazy I was for not doing anything. I also had a dream about a CFer. I can't remember who it was now.

When? Whose translation?

I need proof before I concede that my bluff has been called.

My thoughts exactly.

Are you saying that you lied to me? You aren't going to read the Hunger Games now?

I am desolate <----- (swooning in horror)

HA! Now whose bluff has been called?

 

[Amber.ly]

Uhhhh, your's apparently.

I can't believe that you would lie to me like that. After all we've been through together. The pain, the tears, the dead bodies.

DOES IT ALL MEAN NOTHING TO YOU?!?!?!

Oh wait. I don't think I even know your real name. Nevermind. Continue on your lying spree

thats a brave first step. kudos!

I had a *huge* falling out with two of my best friends when I was much younger, and it took us... 12? years to get back in touch and get back to being the good friends we used to be. I honestly don't even remember what we fought about before.

Sometimes it takes time to move on and get over stuff. but waiting 12 years is too long. you miss out on so much in eachother's lives.

Praying it all goes well for you

Fairly exhausted today.
I realized today at work how highly everyone thinks of me there (by people randomly coming to me through the day lol!) and I haven't been there long either! It made me feel pretty good knowing I am pleasing to my co-workers. Now to off-shoot from that - Ryan works with me and he tends to yell all the time (we are in a kitchen after all - communication is important!). But my self I am very soft spoken and have to repeat my self often, or if I don't it is because I don't want to sound annoying if they may of heard me. Anyways my sickness seemed to have disappeared finally so I am a bit cheery. I know it is because of me renewing my heart. I was so bad there for awhile, so worldly! I found my self so involved in daily tasks.
