Dear everyone who told me to read The Hunger...
Screw you.
I have now had about eight hours of sleep in the last three days and have done no work on my essay that’s due in for Wednesday.

ashheapsandmillionaires asked: Oi, dickface, young adult fiction is my FAVOURITE THING EVER. And as we both know I have no problem getting laid.

Anonymous asked: I have to say, I think that the fact that you won't read YA is a little silly. I'm 23 and I read it. Also, some of the YA that has come out recently is extremely well written, with a lot of meaning and some of it is much better than some of the adult fiction that I have read recently. If it's something that you think you may find interesting, read it. It shouldn't matter what...

You guys I have a serious issue.
So here’s the thing. It’s a guilty thing and a bad thing and I’m sorry but -
I think I want to read The Hunger Games.
Here are my issues:
I want to read it because everyone else is reading it. This is wrong and bad.
I want to read it because the film looks good. This is wronger and badder.
I want to read it because I have a crush on the actress who plays the lead in the...
