Also, who types something like this in a description: "In the end, everyone is so surprised about Rico being so mysterious. Rico will surprise everyone."...and is like, oh, yep, that sounds fine.

He has a...a cactus? In his butt?But, yeah, I love that sentence you posted. That's, like, ridiculously good. XD
Ohboy. I bet youtube has some. I'll search that later.
pedophilic. As John Green taught us in The Fault in Our Stars!!! Eh? Eh?
Mod
YES. WIN.
Oh, god. That's one of the best scenes ever EVER written.
It's so funny! That was one of the parts I literally LOLed at.
Mod
Holden wrote: "Yet it's also such a moment of "letting go", you know, of their childhoods and stuff. Just...ASKNAKSDNCLKASDf;asdf;-worthy stuff."
Yes. This.
That's what I love about John Green. He really does make you FEEL ALL THE THINGS. He can write a scene that has a deep, emotional, bittersweet meaning that tears at your heartstrings AND have you laughing your head off at the same time. Brilliant.
EXACTLY, LAV.I totally tweeted him today XP
Mod
Ugh ugh ugh so... RAGE AT ONE OF MY FRIENDS. She found a John Green quote on Pinterest and... GRRR.
Friend: What is the point of being alive if you don't at least try to do something remakable? - John Green
Me: Although... John Green doesn't actually agree with that quote. It's something one of his characters thought and the whole point of the book was about how that isn't true. He hates it when people take it out of context. Pssh, me? An obsessive nerd? No. Never.
Friend: Haha well I agree with it so it's ok..
NO. NO, FRIEND. IT'S REALLY NOT OKAY.
YOU HAVEN'T EVEN READ THE FREAKING BOOK.
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.
THE WHOLE POINT OF THE FREAKING BOOK IS ABOUT HOW THAT'S NOT TRUE AND I JUST... I CAN'T EVEN.
YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT JOHN GREEN.
UUUGH.
I mean, I don't care if she wants to read John Green's books and/or watch his videos. But the fact that she finds some random quote by him on freaking Pinterest and posts it to FB and it's the most INACCURATE quote she could've picked just... it angers me. It probably shouldn't, but it does.
Even quoting him would be fine with me, but really...THAT quote? And yeah, I tweeted about my overexcitement upon ordering Let it Snow. I WOULD POOP IF HE TWEETED BACK.
Mod
xD Wouldn't you poop anyways, even if he didn't tweet back?
0__o Well, yes, I suppose I will poop anyways...but in this case it would come much sooner and be in my pants rather than a toilet. *tsks at Lav*And, yeah, I have a feeling your friend's opinion about that quote is much, much stronger than John's, so she should be able to totally change the meaning of the entire book. :|

*snickers* Mehehehe. I'm too immature for this conversation.
Mod
Yeah, I definitely agree with that. I'm definitely inspired by things that weren't meant to be inspiring, and I'm perfectly fine with that and I'd be happy if something I wrote inspired someone even if it wasn't what I meant to do (unless it was to commit suicide or something, which I definitely wouldn't be happy about.) (Random grammar question: If a sentence ends with a parenthesis, where does the period go? Inside it or outside it?)
BUT when it's THAT quote, the one John Green always comments on when it's being misquoted, it's just... ugh. PLUS this person tends to tease me and make fun of me for my obsessions all the time, including my John Green obsession. So there's that, which adds to the rage.
Mod
My friends and I talk about poop all the time. At sleepovers... during lunch... in class... xD

LOL. Why does that not surprise me about you
MEANWHILE, I'm supposed to be reading The Great Gatsby right now. *vanishes*
Mod
HAVE FUN READING.
Mod
DO IT.
I tweeted Matt Theissan once. He didn't tweet back either. *sad face*
Mod

Pfff, I..."
Poop is always the pinnacle of sophisticated humor, no matter the age group.
*reappears*I'm finished with that chapter of Gatsby. I had to write freaking book logs, which I hate approximately 63 bajillion more times than simply reading the book. BUT IT'S A GOOD BOOK SO FAR.
And, yeah, poop jokes in job interviews are a great way to get a job. Take advice from me!
Mod
Did you really try that? *facepalm*
No.So, I love stupid people. I commented on the new Vlogbrothers video, saying:
Am I the only one who thinks that John looks adorable in a helmet?
And so MissMismagius says:
only fucking reason you think that is because he's "famous" or a "known face", otherwise you wouldn't even look at him twice, fucking hate girls like you
And so I say:
First of all, I'm glad you're intellectual enough to look at my comment and see how obvious it is that I am definitely a girl.
Second, I was obviously being extremely serious. You sure can tell when a person is joking and when they aren't, because I definitely WASN'T JOKING.
Thanks for the awesome comment, and DFTBA.
I'm hoping she replies with everything inside me.
Mod
My first comment happened like 2 hours ago. But the most recent one is still on the first page of comments.
I just now noticed that somebody else commented on the first comment, "Yes."
Mod
For the most part? Does that mean you commented, but weren't mean?
Mod
Yup, I saw that right after I posted my comment. I chortled.
Mod
D'ah. I totally should have said something like, and by the way, awesome grammar and sentence structure. I, as an amateur writer, envy your skills.
Mod
People should learn that flagrantly improper grammar always negates a comment. :P
EXACTLY.Meanwhile, did you look at the shirt John posted in the description? COLBY WANTS.
http://dftba.com/product/10j/Holden-C...
Mod
But... I actually liked The Catcher in the Rye. Am I still allowed to enjoy the shirt? xD
YES. Because John's a huge CitR fan and he made the fricking shirt, so you can like it. I don't *like* CitR, but I like the thought behind Holden. I'm seriously thinking about buying that shirt if I get me some money, if for no other reason but to flaunt it to my English teacher.
Mod
HUZZAH! :D
I want SO many nerdy shirts right now, holy crumb. I wish I had more money to spend. The only nerdy shirts I have right now are my NaNoWriMo shirt (which I am wearing today *happy dance*) and my ALL CAPS concert shirt. Oh, and I have a shirt that has Snoopy with hipster glasses reading a book that says, "I <3 Nerds." CLOTHES ARE FUN. *is such a girl*

Also, I love how you subscribed to my Youtube channel. I only got the channel to post one video a while back when I was in this game contest LOL. Now I just use it for comments. But I also subscribed to you.
Mod
*checks Youtube to see if there's anything awkward on there*Nope, we're fine. BTW, you look and sound nothing like what I expected. You're nerdier than I expected. THIS IS A GOOD THING.

Pahaha, really? You didn't notice I was a GIANT NERD by all the time I spend on Goodreads? XD
What did you think I looked like?
I KNOW IT'S A GOOD THING.
Which video did you watch?
Mod
I LOFF YOU AND THIS LINK.
I don't know how I thought you looked. I based my thoughts off the side profile in your picture.And I have watched the helium and thunderstorm videos.
Mod
And I have watched the helium and thunderstorm videos."
It's better than what Holden thought when we first met online. My picture was a purple Jeep and he thought I WAS a Jeep or that I was some super cool kid who had their own Jeep. NOPE TO BOTH THINGS.
LOL. Wait, what do you picture me looking like? Am I a penguin to you? Or if you think of me as a human, what do you see me as?Wait, didn't you think I was black?
Mod
Wait, didn't you think I was black?"
Why on Earth would I think you were black? PSSH. PSSSH. LIAR.
I've seen the top of your head (from the TFiOS picture) so I imagine you as that with the rest of your head filled out in my imagination.
LOL. I could always send you a YT video from my sophomore year Algebra class, but you have to promise not to watch all the other videos from middle school on there that embarass the crap out of me.
