"Quite possibly the most boring book I've ever read. I didn't even get halfway through, and I'm usually very stubborn about finishing books.

"We read an abridged play version of this in my Lit. class, and this wasn't much different. Everyone should read this; I personally think we should've read this instead of The Giver in seventh grade.

"This looks twisted, psychotic, and insane. Fucking perfect. Or maybe just the book-form of Jenna.

Lyn said:
"I have had this book on my shelf for probably about 3 years. Which is, actually, a very long time for a book of mine to go unread. Someday, someday, with the right combination of motivation and boredom, I will read it. Someday.

Lyn's favorite quotes
"Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up."

"There is never a time or place for true love. It happens accidentally, in a heartbeat, in a single flashing, throbbing moment. "

"I've been making a list of the things they don't teach you at school. They don't teach you how to love somebody. They don't teach you how to be famous. They don't teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. They don't teach you how to walk away from someone you don't love any longer. They don't teach you how to know what's going on in someone else's mind. They don't teach you what to say to someone who's dying. They don't teach you anything worth knowing."

How You and I Fit into the Universe (Poetry)
1 chapters

updated 1 day ago, 01:11AM

I don't even know about this one...it's too complicated to explain. I guess it's a love poem, also about me thinking about my religion. This one has a lot of my heart in it. That's supposed to be enough, right? By the way, if you can think of a better title, I'd love to hear it!
Just Another Story (Poetry)

Another depressing one...I started work on one about love, but my adorable inspiration and I were separated by summer vacation. Cruel fate! Anyway, hope you like this.

Once again, I'm not completely satisfied with this, I'll change it once I know what I want to change. It's a work in progress; I'm thinking of turning it into a little autobiography of sorts. Any comments or feedback, especially critism, is welcome and appreciated.
