I cry everywhere now, especially at work. The sudden revelation of being considered an adult, realizing that life still sucks and the problems you had five minutes before your revelation are still sitting there on top of it is horrible. I never saw being an adult as anything appetizing. I never went through the “I can’t wait to be twenty-one” phase, but I still can’t help feeling inexplicably screwed and left for the birds. Without my knowledge it happened overnight.
I don’t know how people can bear to live to work to live.
I think it’s great that people don’t want to get involved with me when they find out I don’t “put out” within a week of knowing them. : |

and while the story is compelling and very exciting, you can REALLY tell that Collins is a TV writer, not a novelist. At points it’s like reading a script. It’s difficult to explain, but you can definitely tell.
Furthermore, some of her grammatical errors are completely ridiculous (sometimes I…
Yeah, man. I picked up the series because my mom was really into it and wanted me to read them, too. So I did, but I have to agree. While the story itself is great, the way it was written was so bland and childish that it took me about 2/3 of the way through the first one to feel as if I’ve eased into it enough to get past the writing. Even now in the third book the writing still bothers me.
Also I wish she’d expand on what happened to the rest of the world. All we hear about is Panem, which from what I gathered was North America.

We Can’t Be Equal While:
Gender Roles- Men are the default and women are the Other (and therefore lesser).
- Being called “girly” or a “sissy” or “pussy” are some of the worst insults you can give a man.
- When a woman shows…

I don’t know how I feel about my co-workers. They say things like, “Oh my God! You’re so black!” and call everything “gay.” I had to listen to two male co-workers talk about how attractive or unattractive their female coworkers were. That conversation segued into how many people wanted to fight them. “Dude. So many people want to fight me.”
Maybe it’s because most of them are still in high school (I work in a grocery store). Maybe this is why I haven’t made friends with anyone yet. Until they can open their mouths and not insult somebody, I’ll be raising an eyebrow over a book.

You’ve probably heard of the War on Marriage. If there were any details you were wondering about, here’s basically what happened:
Obama stood on the platform, high up; looking out over the crowd massed in the square below. Lesbian ninjas watched, unseen, from the shadows; and flamboyantly gay…
