David - proud Gleeman in Branwen's adventuring party > Recent Status Updates

She was not watching her husband. Her eyes were still locked on Rand. A woman's eyes cut deeper than a knife; another Two Rivers saying.

I resent that! Us men are just as good at that intimidating glare!

Ok, maybe not...

Starting my next book with the Diversity In All Forms group. Can you believe that up until now, I've never read Cuckoo's Nest or seen the movie? Please don't tell Nurse Ratched, I'm already a little afraid of her...

First some more Forsaken show up to cause trouble and now another false Dragon has entered the mix... color me intrigued!

Nobody wants to hate herself all the time, it's just that some of us, unfortunately, feel compelled to. When you operate from an assumption that everyone is better than you, you tend to punish yourself for not measuring up.

My feels are so pissed at me for reading this book!

"The first part of the Great Lord's message was simple. 'LET THE LORD OF CHAOS RULE!' "
The corners of his mouth twitched, as close to a smile as she had ever seen from him.

Chaos isn't as much fun as you might think, dude! Especially when it causes a traffic jam...

"Just as long as nothing was more important than food. This is how anorexia can save you. This is also how it can kill you. This is where living and dying become the same thing."

Nothing to see here, folks...just a grown man having an emotional breakdown from reading a book! :(

Gawyn could hardly reconcile the frightened farmboy who had literally fallen into the Royal Palace in Caemlyn with the man in the rumors who had hanged Tairen High Lords and let Aiel loot the Stone.

It's hard to believe how much these characters have changed from the first book!

"If your mood swings last a week, you're bipolar; if they last a few hours, you're borderline. This is of course a drastic oversimplification, and when you're in the midst of colossal emotional overwhelm, you don't care what your disorder is called, you just want it to stop."

Starting my September bonus group read with the "Diversity In All Forms" group. Two group reads and a buddy read all in one month...LeVar Burton would be proud!

Starting Book Six of the Wheel of Time buddy read with Branwen! I wish I could quit my job so I had more time to read, but if I didn't have a job, I couldn't afford to buy more books, so now I can afford books but I don't have time to read them because of my job...it's a vicious circle! xD

Did...did that REALLY just happen?! :o

"Are you going to come with me?"
"No."
The word comes automatically. No.No.No. It's all I say these days. It's as if I am making up for the time when I couldn't say it. When I wasn't given a chance to say it.

This book is so heartbreaking! :(

After the last couple of chapters I read, all I can say is...

"What's wrong with what I'm wearing?"
"I don't know, Emma, it's a bit slutty, isn't it?"
I stare pointedly at his FHM poster of some topless model.
"That's different."

This is how her own brother talks to her? Uggh! Punch his lights out, Emma!

Hi, y'all! I finally got my very first I-phone! I'm so excited to be part of the 21st century, I'm celebrating by listening to my favorite heavy metal cassette tapes!

I'm also on Instagram now, feel free to follow me @davegreenfromgoodreads

She sagged to her knees. He did not look at his knife-hilt. He knew where the heart was in a body.
"I always liked your eyes," she breathed faintly.
"Why did you do it?"
"Some oaths are more important than others..."
A Darkfriend. He wished that made what he had done easier in his mind.

Ali doesn't join in, turning her face away from us. "It's so hard being your friend. It's like I don't exist when you're around. And sometimes-" she took a deep breath- "I think that's why you like being my friend."

I feel so bad for Ali! :'(

Don't judge me, Emma!

Starting my first group read with Mariah's "Diversity in All Forms" group! I'm so excited to be a part of this! :D

"Why can't folks get along with each other? Why do they go out of their way to despise each other? Scout, I think I'm beginning to understand why Boo Radley's stayed shut up in the house all this time...it's because he wants to stay inside."

David commences sobbing in 3...2...1

"Every mob in every little Southern town is always made up of people. So it took an eight-year-old child to bring 'em to their senses, didn't it? That proves something - that a gang can be stopped, simply because they're still human."

I'll remember that at my next soccer match!

According to Aunt Alexandra, everybody else had a Streak: a Mean Streak, a Drinking Streak. Once Atticus asked her, "We're practically the first Finches not to marry their cousins. Would you say the Finches have an Incestuous Streak?"

I love you, Atticus! That settles it...

"You cannot call me to account for doing what I had to do! When the boat's sinking, you plug the hole with what you can find."
"Three Accepted - Trainees! - chasing THIRTEEN full sisters of the Black Ajah! Do you use babies to plug the hole in your boat?!"

Bad ideas in action...

Elayne could not help herself. She threw back her head and screamed with frustration. People stood staring at her. Coolly, she ignored them. Nothing could worm its way under her skin now. She was calm as ice, perfectly in control of herself.

Elayne...always so cool and collected!

"Most folks seem to think they're right and you're wrong..."

"They're certainly entitled to think that," said Atticus, "but before I can live with other folks I've got to live with myself. The one thing that doesn't abide by majority rule is a person's conscience."

*cries for 10 years*

MAT - "One more dance along the razor's edge finished. Almost dead yesterday, maybe dead tomorrow, but alive, gloriously alive, today."

That's pretty deep thinking coming from someone who spent the beginning of the series acting like this guy...

"The world's endin', Atticus! Please do something!" I dragged him to the window and pointed. "No it's not," he said. It's snowing." Don't fret, Scout! Snow can be fun! Unless your friend is a jerk...

"Time to leave Rand in my dust. Not like I was abandoning him," Mat muttered. "If he can't bloody take care of himself by now, he'll never be able to." Mat is like that person at the office who always manages to disappear whenever you need help!

"Sometimes the Bible in the hand of one man is worse than a whiskey bottle in the hand of another. There are just some kind of men who're so busy worrying about the next world, they've never learned to live in this one." My feels are feeling feels! :o

"Perhaps if you cursed only occasionally?" Nynaeve sighed at Uno. "Maybe once every other sentence?" Uno swears so much it would make even Debra Morgan blush! Or not...
