My entry in the CYA Ficathon.

( A Truth More Destructive )

It's my birthday! Yay! I have Strep Throat. Not yay. Very emphatically not yay.

I read the "Hunger Games" trilogy, and fell in love with it. I've heard people say that it's a weak ripoff of Battle Royale, so I'm reading the Manga (which apparently goes deeper into the characters than the original novel did) and so far, I'm really not impressed, though there has been one funny excerpt.

Um... not sure what else to say, so ending this here.

Basically, it's an opinion you have that you think a lot of people would disagree with you on. (Or more, if you want. This is just my biggy.)

1) Romeo and Juliet is a comedy. Seriously. Read the darn play. It's not a tragedy. It's hilarious as hell, up until they die. So, a dark comedy. But still a comedy. (As my dad put it, "This couple that everyone looks to as one of the most romantic couples ever? They were dead before their third date.")

2) Edward and Bella is a good example of an abusive relationship. He's controlling, he goes against what she wants all the time, he makes decisions for her, etc. He is borderline emotionally abusive. And Bella is dangerously co-dependent on him. My boyfriend breaks up with me, I spend a week eating brownies and ice cream, and then I move the hell on. Her boyfriend leaves her, and she spends MONTHS barely existing. Get over it, and make little furry babies with Jacob. (Not even TOUCHING the Nessie thing.)

That is all.

MAJORBIGTIME EDIT! I really need to give credit to deird1 and her story, “Towels” for this. And a huge apology for not crediting it before. I wasn’t intentionally stealing, and it’s not that I forgot to give credit; I forgot that I’d read this story. It wasn’t until I was talking to my dad and he told me that I needed to credit this story for inspiration that I remembered “Towels”. I’ve been thinking of a roommate war told in notes for a while, and now I know why. So edits to the story have happened, in order to further separate it from “Towels”. (Accidental plagiarism was accidental, and I truly apologize.)


( Escalation )

One of my best friends, who I consider a sister, had her baby today. I have been announced to be an aunt. :D

After being at the hospital for eighteen hours, I’m exhausted. And I know I’m not as tired as the new mommy is.
