'That's who you really like. The people you can think out loud in front of."
-John Green
I am the last person you will ever see setting resolutions for the new year. I prefer not to create a list of things I probably will get too bored to accomplish. Because yeah, I get bored pretty easily. Sue me. However, I stated in a previous post how much I adored (okay, more like loved, in an obsessive manner) John Green's "The Fault in Our Stars". I mean, really, I cannot say enough good things about that novel. I cried, I laughed, I smirked, I felt. I FELT. And, that is why I loved it as much as I did. Truly, it has been quite some time that a novel has made me feel. And, really, what is life about if not for feeling. I am talking about real heart wrenching feelings followed by big fat crocodile tears (I shed them on the daily). Nope, I am not exaggerating. I had to choke back sobs one night as to not wake the husband. So, going against all that is in my nature, I have decided to make it my personal mission to read every book Mr.Green has written. Next on my agenda? Well, if you must know, it is "Looking for Alaska". Which I have already commenced. So far, so good (real good). I encourage you to dive into the world of John Green. Dive in head first. You will wonder why it took you so long to do so. Dudes, anyone that can come up with a quote like the following is pretty damn straight to me:
“Saying 'I notice you're a nerd' is like saying, 'Hey, I notice that you'd rather be intelligent than be stupid, that you'd rather be thoughtful than be vapid, that you believe that there are things that matter more than the arrest record of Lindsay Lohan. Why is that?' In fact, it seems to me that most contemporary insults are pretty lame. Even 'lame' is kind of lame. Saying 'You're lame' is like saying 'You walk with a limp.' Yeah, whatever, so does 50 Cent, and he's done all right for himself.”
Perfection ladies and gentlemen, perfection. And, to all of you that have been personally harassed with my enthusiastic shenanigans over the awesomeness of "The Fault in Our Stars", I am sorry. Actually, I take that back. I am not sorry. What I meant was, you are welcome!

NICE! call me a nerd anytime!
