SOOooOOoo.
It's a new school year, and a whole new chapter of mah lyfe. The interesting thing is, what is a chapter of one's life? When does one stop and end? You never actually know.
Last night I read the Fault in Our Stars. It was good. Sad. Philosophical. No, not philosophical. More just a questioning of everything. Is that philosophy? I'm not positive.
Anyway. If you can ignore the paragraph about 3/7 full of question marks above, I've also been doing other things like dreaming about dragons. This also means watching HTTYD about 5 times in 2 weeks. My family thinks I'm insane, and I am perfectly happy. At least, as happy as I can be without seeing HTTYD 2 again. I watched it twice in the theatres, and the release date is coming as soon as possible. Which is not soon enough. In the past I might have watched it online, but that thing called a conscience is not so much pricking as stabbing blindly and with a rage never seen before in an inanimate object, much less a concept, an idea.
Either way, I am positive of one thing, and that is: I do not like the color purple, and I am in love with the Penderwick books. Also I forgot what it was like to laugh out loud at a book, because I haven't read Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy in a long while. {While I wait for my library to do the whole very complex business of transferring HGTTG to my shelf, I am reading some books suggested by friends. This is a complicated business.}
Another think I've been thinking about is the upcoming HOBBIT PREMIERE!!!!!!! Oh my lanta I got so excited towards the end of that sentence. Before you try to grill me for embracing what some call "egregious" {http://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2013/12/-em-the-hobbit-2-em-is-bad-fan-fiction/282316/}, I, too, weep for the poor lost Hobbit movies, widely off track and full of a lot of weirdness that I'm not sure what to think about, because I didn't have to consider it the first time. Does that sentence make sense? Good. And although Jackson has stretched the movies to three parts - horror of horrors - I do enjoy getting to relive my Tolkien love. When FOTR came out in 2001, I was, sadly, only 4. So. There was not room in my busy schedule of food and mud to dress up for LOTR premieres, which people had dreamed about probably since anything Tolkien wrote had come out back in the strange and faintly beautiful 50s. ANYWAY. I am super excited to dress up, and I shall be a beautifuller version of Kili, come December 17. My awesome friend Miss Mandie will be going as the compelling Tauriel and it is going to be a glorious evening, I seriously can't wait! Anyone else as fanatic as I? Any of you readers {do you exist???} dressing up for the Hobbit premiere?
