Hello, livejournal! How is life going? I am trying to keep up with my resolution to be more communicative... which should involve posting at least once a week... so! Things!

-I know that in my last post I mentioned starting The Vineyard Man, and... uhhh... I already finished it? Like three days ago? BUT IT WAS SO GOOD. Okay, so I do love kdramas

Ahhh, sorry to make things complicated with the books! Now I feel bad. :( But, uhhmmm, as for top secret birthday stuffs -- why, yes, I do wear earrings and bracelets. And now I am suitably intrigued...!

(Ooh, thanks for the Finnick teaser, this will keep me going.)

Free size is... like... one size fits all, basically? But when we use it in USA, it's for things like baseball hats and Disney World plastic rain ponchos and the like. Here, it's FUCKING EVERYTHING, from skirts to stockings to tailored jackets to cocktail dresses. Well, untrue, it's not everything -- you can buy sized clothing, but generally only at department stores which are hella expensive. The real downside to shopping here is that everything is either suuuuuuper cheap or suuuuuper expensive; there really isn't a good middle ground. Gosh and darn.

never thought of you as country, maybe more suburban, huh. that's so weird! Did you have animals (like a farm or ranch)?Haha, well, truthfully speaking I really am more suburban than country; I think it's just that,

All three THG books were a little slow to start, Mockingjay a little more since the real action starts late and then KABOOM ouch my heart what why-- and you get your hopes all deflated because OMG REBEL DISTRICT WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU you'll see you'll see. Shit I love THG.

YEAH FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF I THINK I'VE HIT THAT PART IN MOCKINGJAY BECAUSE NOW I'M LIKE SHITSHITSHITSHITSHIT WHILE READING AUGGGHHHHH I THINK I'LL TRY TO FINISH TONIGHT. I'm maybe like 75% of the way done. It sucks, though, because we've been doing testing at school all week so it's like three hour blocks of me not having any teaching to do at all so I brought the e-book to read at work but then I'll get to some OMG INTENSE HOW DID THE CHAPTER END HERE moment and then have to stop in the middle to do something work-related. Damn. Never read at work, bad idea. Also Suzanne Collins still drives me crazy with her pacing because it will be like... nothing... nothing... nothing... HOLY SHIT WAIT WHAT JUST HAPPENED.

Is Free Size one size fits all? This is why I have no band shirts that actually fit me - most of the bands I like have so much fewer dedicated female fans that they always only do a one size fits all ladies shirt and it NEVER FUCKING FITS.

Yes, that is the essence of free size. ARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHH. I did discover a plus size section on one clothing website that I know of, but unfortunately it isn't organized by clothing types at all and urrrrggghhhhh I am overwhelmed by too much browsing. I JUST WANT A SEWING MACHINE.
