I'm Just Sayin'

Today I woke up on a chilly Monday morning happy to be alive, healthy and ready to work on my new novel. I had nothing else planned for the day except dropping off some work I had done over the weekend at the studio I am currently freelancing for-hoping for more work from them later this week- and that was it. Little did I know when I logged into Facebook around lunchtime one of my favorite persons/people/friends would be in town and having lunch right down the street. I texted her and ended up having an impromptu/surprise visit with her! How awesome is that? I had no idea I was going to see her today, but I did. Then later while walking home from the studio I ran into another friend who offered me a pumpkin cupcake and an afternoon chat :0) What a great day! I also got paid to write two articles-it isn't much, but it is always nice to get paid to write and I had no idea that was going to happen. I haven't gotten much actual writing in for the novel-but I have worked out the re...

Seriously girls! Why must you act like this? I don't understand it. I really don't. It is all fine and well to be "in love", but to ditch your friends every time he calls is just plain wrong, on many levels and let me explain why. 1) You are sending him the message that you are needy 2) You are sending your friends the message that you don't care about them or your friendship 3) It is pathetic on so many levels 4) It is bad etiquette all around to blow someone off for any reason, much less a guy I have a friend who has done this to me now 3 times. The first time I let it go. The second time I brought up the first time and she "giggled" yes I said, giggled and replied "well I would understand if you did it to me." When I told he that I wouldn't do that, she defended herself by saying "last time she checked she was a girl." I thought I made it perfectly clear that it wasn't acceptable, and yet she did it again. It was bad enough...

So you've read the books and you've seen the latest film - part one anyhow. What did you think? I want to start a discussion about it. I am curious what everyone thinks? I still believe that the films are just like Cliff's Notes for the books, and I liked what this director did, but it would have been really hard to follow for people who hadn't read the books. Don't think there is anyone like that out there? There is. I think Yates has done a really good job in directing the 5th-7th, as these were clearly the hardest ones to work with in that they were extremely long books and grew more and more complicated as they went on. I happen to like all the films, but LOVE the books and believe that everyone should read them. The UK versions are better-and yes they did change things in the American versions-UGH...Go get them, read them! (Cover of the UK version (Cover of the UK version) For those of you that have read them all and saw the Deathly Hallows Part One.. what did ...
