Writer's Block: Book review

[Error: unknown template qotd]
I think banning books is a moronic idea. To me, it's akin to burning books.
We do not live in the Middle Ages. We live in a modern time. We should not be acting like heathens and burning and banning books. It makes us look like we do not have the brains to think for ourselves.

I might declare that I will never allow the Twilight series in my house (I can so see Madi sneaking those across the thresh hold, just because she's "denied" them, LOL), but I would never attempt to really keep anyone from reading what they wanted.

I dealt with that when I was 19, and living with the DNA Donor. She and her husband threw away over $1,000 worth (used prices, BTW, not new) of romance novels because there was premarital sex in it. A couple of those books were purchased by my siblings, and to this day, I'm still on the hunt for them because of they hold sentimental value to me.

anythign thats more than "and then they kissed... on the cheek" i dont need at a school library. i dont care how little or how much is in it. there are public libraries for that shit, and if parents are comfortable with their kids reading it, thats fine. but not every child is ready for that type of book.. wow, i think i summed it all up right there and could have stopped at the word CHILD.

its like my fave pic of me and my sis, thats why i changed it.

My brain totally missed the "high school" part, or my answer would be totally different, honestly, because I completely agree with you.

It's a great picture. You both look so happy and carefree!!

[mrsbr00kster.livejournal.com]

yea, public library is one thing. i dont give a fuck what is there. but highschool? yeah not so much, and prob no "how to build a better bomb" books either.

we were drunk... woot... lol

[sarahcb1208]

Yeah, definitely.
Man, I have to learn to read better, LOL!!

Drunk FTW!

yep, wonder how cool next year's cruise pic will be...

if it was SUPER awesome, it wont be on the cruise but from somewhere real, cuz fuck that cruise.

[sarahcb1208]

*snort*
You were so excited and now you're not :( That sucks :(

[mrsbr00kster.livejournal.com]

i know.

i fucking hate NK fans. which, in turn, made me hate NK.

blah, we were so excited. seriously, then... donnie on twitter happened... and all of the sudden, everything was filled with fucking retards.

fail

[sarahcb1208]

Well that just really sucks :(
Hopefully you two are able to have some sort of fun ... and she's not stressing about leaving Savannah behind ;)

[mrsbr00kster.livejournal.com]

maybe it will be ok. i dunno.

should just sell our booking for $2k a person and each make 500 bucks off it.

[sarahcb1208]

I would so do that!!

[mrsbr00kster.livejournal.com]

right!

but you that we'd totally be bummed when the date rolled around.

im sure we'll make the best of it, you know? and there are soem people on the boat that we totally adore!!

@macclickchic
@sinab77
@luvndwood
@donniedollgirl
@kaffy
@aprilknob

even this chick my sis didnt like before, but now does.

i dunno, i'll just treat it like the sister trip it is, with a bonus round of a twitter reunion and then, oh yeah, those guys.

i just think donnie got all these women riled up about it, which is fine, but he gives them so much attention over twitter (i think its an assistant, personally) so i think with all the @'s he's sent out and follows, that these women are going to expect that kind of treatment on the ship... thus resulting in NK NOT walking around the ship like they did last year..

i think a lot of women are going to be disappointed, cuz they are building themselves up too much.

i dunno.. nk fans are fucking retarded. they act too much like 12 year old fan girls.

maybe i dont care cuz i've met them before, did the cruise, was on stage w/ donnie, did that whole video thingy w joe... so im desensitized, but still, i didnt give a fuck last year on the cruise either... it was a sister trip w 5 hot guys...

wow, wordy much?

[sarahcb1208]

LOL! I think the sister trip trumps the NKOTB trip. At least you're chill about it :P
And meeting people that you've only known online rocks too (done that a few times :))

[mrsbr00kster.livejournal.com]

i've met tons of ppl irl that i've talked to online.
that came out awkward, but i think you know what i meant.

but we know two of them from the cruise before, and one from our first meet and greet concert. on and theres another one i forgot to mention that we knew from online, and met irl at the july nk concert.. wait.. 2 of them.

i just hop the fans are fucking retarded about it, like they seem to be on twitter

[sarahcb1208]

I think they'll be smarter IRL than they are online. At least one would hope so, because, ugh, being that retarded IRL means there is no hope for the world!

[mrsbr00kster.livejournal.com]

yeah, i know.

but, you know.. some people ARE that retarded.

lol

[sarahcb1208]

Sadly, you are too right :(
