Thanks! I need to get it (re!)bound so it'll be done!
I have been doing a little more quilt as you go because I have sooo many scrappy bits of batting.
Oh, I'm so sad you don't get to see TFIOS in the theater. Seriously, teenage daughter is dropping the ball there! We're planning on taking our own box of tissues...
Phebe is in the "John Green is a horrible person and anti- LGBT etc" camp. So she won't have anything to do with anything related to him. I looked it up, it's apparently a thing. A thing I don't necessarily agree with, but it's her thing. However, we just got free HBO for a while thanks to Ken complaining to comcast about some weird charges on our last bill, so maybe I'll catch and some of the other recent stuff I've missed there.
Why in the world does she think John Green is anti-LGBT? I mean, of course she is not obligated to like him or anything he writes, but the LGBT thing is so off base that I'm actually stunned. There's so much evidence of the exact opposite being true, not the least of which is Will Grayson, Will Grayson. *blinks*
I did some googling and apparently there are quite a lot of folks out there that feel the same way about him as she does. It's less what's in his books and more about stuff he says on the internet. My conversation with her after I looked it up was that I hoped she was forming her own opinion on things she read and/or experienced herself and not on what the social justice "gang" at tumblr were telling her to get upset about, but she was done discussing it at that point, being more concerned about her finals at the time.
Well, it still makes me sad. I've been following JG online since 2007, videos blog, etc., and I've read all of his books and my own conclusion is the exact opposite. He's quite a champion for equality and being the best person you can be, whatever that means for you. It's actually one of the things I love most about following he and Hank online. I asked E & G about it without mentioning P, and their comment was that it was a "Tumblr hate thing."
I can't find anyone to go see TFOIS with me either, so I'm just going on my own. I'm hoping I'm not the only adult not attached to a teenager there. ;)
I can definitely understand that. It's why I typically don't see a movie in the theater unless it has effects that can only be fully experienced in a surround sound, giant screen environment. And these days, movies come out in a view at home format so quickly you don't have long to wait.

I'm definitely going to have the try the quilt as you go thing one of these days.
Enjoy the movie! I will likely rent it when it comes out since I don't know anyone else here that wants to go see it. :(
