Hello, hello, hello! How are you guys? Me? I'm flipping great because of this news. I swear to God, this game was made specifically for me. 1) I'm a HUGE Silent Hill fan. Like crazy about it, love it to pieces in love with every last detail fan. 2) Guillermo del Toro is working on it and he's my all time favourite director. 3) Well, we all know my

I was terrible at gym class and I'll admit it...it was the only class I ever did the bare minimum to required to get a B (didn't want to bring down my GPA plus I cried when I got anything lower than a B. Yup. I was a 90's Hermione.) but shit...at least I TRIED. And honestly, I liked volleyball and tennis. I still enjoy playing both when I'm up to it because they don't require running, which sets my asthma off.

The only valid point Mallory has about gym in the whole damn book is that kids take each little game in class too seriously. I noticed it in fourth grade, the boys just got super competitive about EVERY sport and EVERY class, and fuck, I got a lot of bruises from that. In middle school we had single sex gym, though, which was much better.

I mean, as much as I rank on Jessi for acting like she's God's gift to ballet, at 11 I got into the advanced class at the stable I rode at and got put on the track to showing, which I did for four years. That five years I rode a bare minimum of five out of seven days, but usually every day and often several horses per day. I wasn't putting all that work in to break something in gym class and have to sit out the show season! Thank God in homeschooling there is no gym. :P
