I don't like to...I'm in my early 30's. I don't like to dismiss teenagers as being "moody" or "hormonal" -- their feelings are very real and important to them, and we all go/went through it. Just like temper tantrums happen with toddlers, or people in their twenties and forties (and probably thirties, too) go through existential crises, and older adults often get forgetful and sometimes irritable or outright cantankerous. It's part of how our brains develop, and it's all hard to control. We've all got to do our best but cut each other some slack.<br /><br />But yeah, it'd be so much easier if we could just learn from others' experiences, but we usually have to go through it ourselves.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16743674350647517445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004974476643738026.post-14390588605473111252013-09-14T21:54:03.710-07:002013-09-14T21:54:03.710-07:00Yeah that's probably true but since i am a moo...Yeah that's probably true but since i am a moody teenager i must figure that out the hard way :D <br />How old are you anyways?Yusahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07336152552714339539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004974476643738026.post-11563126248597250952013-09-14T18:45:26.171-07:002013-09-14T18:45:26.171-07:00Heh, that was a long ago.

And I just r...Wow, Yusa, those are awesome lyrics!<br /><br />And I just read your story about your bangs. I have naturally curly hair, and in 8th grade, the hairdresser pulled my bangs straight and went to cut them above my eyebrows. My mom tried to stop her, telling her they'd be too short, but she was all "I know what I'm doing." Of course they curled up into dumb 1" long curlicues. Ugh. I cried. But no one made fun of me, and they eventually grew out. (And then I started trimming them myself.) I hope you don't have too many pictures of your hair mishap.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16743674350647517445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004974476643738026.post-10128476585551601352013-09-14T18:35:29.629-07:002013-09-14T18:35:29.629-07:00KYLIE: Come backkkk!

Unless Wendelin writes them. I actually have never been able to "hear" the guitar riff in "Waiting for Rain to Fall" based on Casey's description, so maybe it'd be alright.<br /><br />But I like my versions of the Hunger Games songs better even than Suzanne Collins's versions, so it's hard for me to listen to anyone else's versions (which stinks, because I'm not a good singer at all -- but I can't write music, so I can't hear anyone sing my version, except the voice in my head that sings much better than what comes out of my mouth).<br /><br />But anyway, the TV show could be great -- and it'd get so many more kids reading Sammy Keyes! And then I can seem cool when the youth group kids see me reading one, instead of like a strange adult who reads middle school mystery books.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16743674350647517445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004974476643738026.post-87507496130643768702013-09-14T17:45:11.537-07:002013-09-14T17:45:11.537-07:00Oh yeah, Yusa!!

I'm taking <a href="https://class.coursera.org/crypto-008/" rel="nofollow">a free online class on Cryptography</a> just because it's interesting. I'm going to ignore it for now, in case there are spoilers -- I'll try to remember to come back and decode it after I read the book.<br /><br />I've been wanting to ask Wendelin what she has planned for after Kiss Goodbye, but I don't want to inadvertently put any pressure on her -- I can't even imagine how much more emotional this ending is for her compared to all of us. I know she'll write something I enjoy reading, eventually. And there's the road trip to look forward to.<br /><br />Bella, if I have time, I might walk over to the main library tomorrow and ask if they've ordered it. They only order like once a month, and they got their September shipment before the book came out. So it might be October. :( But that's nearly halfway here already! (And yes, I'm the reason Wendelin cut the comments down to equal sizes to be fair. No one's ever accused me of being terse.)Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16743674350647517445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004974476643738026.post-86409889547803550482013-09-14T17:17:11.580-07:002013-09-14T17:17:11.580-07:00It just hit me...
