we're in our own world.

I could have.. But that wouldn’t have been as fun.

[millietalbot-blog]

Or as dangerous. It’s a good thing you didn’t injure yourself.

[desdemonareese-blog]

Or most. I’m not sure I’ve ever found myself identifying with anyone honestly. I’ve never looked for it either since I’m quite happy as my own person. But I could show you a hundred modern books you could say the same about, so my point stands that it’s predominantly outdated and the only reason it’s still around is that our society has a tendency to think that age automatically equals wisdom. If I wanted to know about someone’s struggle with a disability I’d ask a real person with a real disability who was living in the same world as me and then I could relate. Oh, read it. Didn’t learn a thing. I’d top Christian Grey any day. Take that anyway you want.

I think some people do look for it to perhaps get the sense that they’re not alone.. if they felt alone to begin with, of course. Well, that’s good that you’re happy as your own person. It’s how everyone should feel. Do you think all classic books are outdated? Surely there must be at least one novel from a previous era you like. Fair enough. Really? Doesn’t the idea of bondage scare you? From what I’ve heard about that book it sounds like torture.

[desdemonareese-blog]

You’re starting to sound like my high school English teachers. They always told me I could identify with the characters, but that was usually bull. I don’t care about an author who died god knows how many years ago and even less about a time period that ended forever ago. I’m concerned with today and nothing in this book helps with that.

[millietalbot-blog]

You can’t identify with every character in books. Most are boringly unrealistic. Well, certain aspects of book can be transferred into the modern day. For example, Philip’s struggle with his disability. Fine, go and read Fifty Shades then. That’s modern and I’m sure you’ll find some bondage tips in there.

[heyjaemyeong-blog]

Well I actually was going to try to climb over, but it wasn’t really that good of an idea.

[millietalbot-blog]

Yeah, perhaps not. Couldn’t you have just walked around instead?

[desdemonareese-blog]

What’s so great about it? Right now it’s a bit underwhelming. If I wanted to read about a child going through hard times in England, I’d pick up The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. At least that one’s funnier.

[millietalbot-blog]

Well, I think it’s great because it teaches you a lot about the time period and goes very in depth with detail. You can identify with the characters because they’re so raw and believable, as well as the situations that they were placed in. You also get a taste of the author’s life and struggles, apparently that novel was his masterpiece. I don’t know, you might not think it’s great... but you should definitely finish it and see what you think.

[desdemonareese-blog]

You know, naming your book Of Human Bondage is just settling your reading base up for disappointment if there aren’t any actual tips in it. It’s like opening the Kama Sutra only to find out it’s a cookbook.

[millietalbot-blog]

At least you will have read a great novel though.

“This is a limited edition,” Hayden replied through gritted teeth. The pages were still wet, and she tried to turn one of the pages very carefully. This only lead to parts of the page dissolving in her hand. “This is a travesty. Out of all the ways this book could end, I did not imagine it being by cheap coffee.”

[millietalbot-blog]

Millie shifted uncomfortably, feeling that there was nothing she could try to resolve this without making the woman angrier. “I said I was sorry..” She spoke quietly, afraid that even speaking would make matters worse. “Is there anything I can do?”

[hreedgone-blog]

Hayden quickly reached into the bag next to her chair, and pulled out some napkins of her own. Together with the other girl, she tried to clean up the mess. It was no great success, as the coffee had spilled over her book, making the pages soaking wet. “This is just great. Do you have a vision defect or something as you managed to walk straight into my table?”

[millietalbot-blog]

After realizing that her attempt to clear up the mess was unsuccessful, she gathered the wet napkins and placed them into a nearby bin. “It was an accident... “ She said, apologetically. “I was distracted. I can, um, I can get you a new one.” She gestured, referring to the book.

[hreedgone-blog]

Hayden’s reading her book in peace when someone suddenly bumps into her table and spills her coffee all over her possessions. “What the hell?!”

[millietalbot-blog]

“Oh my gosh!” Millie exclaimed, stepping back in horror. “I am so sorry! I didn’t mean to, I—um, let me get some napkins.” She rushed towards the counter, grabbing several handfuls of napkins before heading back towards the girl and quickly beginning to dab at the spilled coffee.

That’s an interesting idea, I never really buy anything online, witch probably makes me a freak, hah. I actually prefer going to the store. 

[millietalbot-blog]

Never? You’ve at least ordered food before, right?

[allanrissoro-blog]

Does anyone know about a good place to buy shirts in this city, because I really need a set of new ones, but I can’t seem to find any good stores. 

[allanrissoro-blog]

[millietalbot-blog]

You should try ordering some online, then you wouldn’t have to even leave your house. They could be delivered right to your door.

[rcgulusblxek]

Why do people not talk about pubic hair more often? Why is it so taboo? 

[rcgulusblxek]

[millietalbot-blog]

To be honest, I don’t know why. I think it’s just that area in general people don’t like talking about.

The cupcakes are still in the oven and the cookies are still too hot, but you’re welcome to wait if you want.

[millietalbot-blog]

Thanks, I don’t mind waiting. What kind of cupcakes are they?

“I declare a paint war. You game?”

[millietalbot-blog]

“Oh, um.. sure. What do we do? Throw paint at each other?”

[beamendoza-blog]

No problem! Oh–oh, thank you, ma’am. I’m sorry if I seemed rude earlier. I didn’t mean to.

[millietalbot-blog]

Oh, don’t worry about it. I completely get it, you’re fine. Sorry for taking so long to order. I can be really indecisive when it comes to food.

[heyjaemyeong-blog]

I think that that would be the best plan.

[millietalbot-blog]

What were you even doing up there?

[patrickft]

But it wasn’t the truth? 

[millietalbot-blog]

No... it was the truth. I was calling my ex to tell him he’s a complete bonehead.
