Oh hey, someone just discovered that fandom organizes for stuff.
Do I bother writing and saying, "hi! welcome to fandom! been here for yrs."?
I got stupid. The money was too good.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I have to report that I have now finished Mockingjay (thanks le nubian) and I am just going to sit here and cry for awhile.
Dang, you are a FAST reader!
Relatedly, we're about to go see Sherlock Holmes, and I was rattling off the movies I hope we get previews for. When I got to Hunger Games, I had to explain it to Tim, who is dubious about how a movie about kids brutally killing each other can get a PG-13 rating.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
From Allyson's link:
Of course, it’ll be fascinating to see if, and how, these groups scale, and if they develop into ongoing organizations
Ahahahahaha. Yes. Welcome.

Steph, I hate asking an editing question, but I'm asking an editing question...
I was part of a 7-member group.
I want to correct to: I was part of a seven member group.
Still, I think it's awkward and would write in my own words: I was part of group consisting of seven members: (listing the members).
IDK and it was all written in papyrus. PAPYRUS. IT'S A FORMAL LETTER OMG OMG

There is a drawback to this as an adult-- I have trouble reading anything that I can't read in one sitting. As a kid, I could spend the weekend and read book after book, but no such luxury as an adult.
The trailer for the movie was what made me want to read the books, because I love Jennifer Lawrence. People seem upset about her casting, but I think that she has certainly proven that she can play "tough and conflicted lower class young woman who loves her family"

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

The Dark Knight showed a man being killed with the eraser end of a pencil. They'll make it work.

Maybe it's OK if they don't swear. Blood, guts, brutality, inhumanity--but they don't drop the f-bomb, so it's Happy Days in the Censorship Office!
