Forget sexy tween, I still don't feel mature enough to be a sexy 30 year old. BSC, boxcar children and goosebumps forever :-p

“Jessica Wakefield could take Cherry Valance, though.” You shut your mouth!

Paul Zindle is a treasure.... His books always made me FEEL. Like he talked about death and other deep topics without condecending... 11 year old me really appreciated that.

Hmmm, I'm the opposite. So many books I loved as a child and into my late teens don't hold up. I haven't read The Outsiders in a decade, I'm afraid that 30 year old me will hate it.

I stayed up until 3ish to finish Bridge to Terebithia in 6th grade... I don't think I've ever sobbed harder :-/

I loved Tex as well... It's just not as famous, sadly. Maybe because The Outsiders was the first and she started writing it as a teenager?

“I lie to myself all the time. But I never believe me.”

Was I the only one who would rather read The Outsiders and A Begonia For Mrs. Applebaum ad infinitum? Jessica Wakefield was so overrated... Give me Ponyboy! *ducks and runs

Brb, googling to find “edible glitter birdseed” so we don’t harm our feathered friends. (I live in Portland, Oregon, which is overrun with breweries, so hard cider is ALWAYS an excuse here.)

Welp. See you in hell Grey Lady Cady! I'll keep your seat warm for ya.

Just had a thought: instead of throwing rice or blowing bubbles at the wedding, can we have people shooting glitter out of tiny plastic penisis? (Peni? Is peni the plural of penis? Too much hard cider tonight, my apologies.)

Your husband is as fab as you! Mine probably wouldn't even volunteer for usher. But he WOULD lead all the dances at the reception, so that's something.

My brother-in-law has banned glitter from his house. I try to find allllllll the glitter toys for my nephew and niece - accompanied by alllll the glitter wrapping paper and bows I can find.

Girl quit, or I'm gonna have to insist that you marry me. And that would prolly piss my husband off.

I've always wanted a crapton of glitter stars!!! You are THE best.

You could drown in dick glitter...

At least you die doing what you love?

Great now I have that whiney globe-headed brat’s theme song on a loop in my head. Thanks a lot Mr.Ladyheatherlee :-p

Beautiful.

Thank you for being “that person”. I feel like I get on this soap box soooooo many times that I’m sick of it. (Me, red faced and out of breath: “Uncle Tom was an archetype of Jesus Christ! He sacrificed himself for others to live and be free!!!! Harriet Beecher Stowe’s book was wildly controversial because she…
