I can only speak for myself, but I find that if I don't know the ending, I get really stressed out, and find myself galumphing over great parts of the story just to find out if something really bad happens. Once I know the answer, I am more relaxed and can enjoy reading
I am Sophia.
I'm sorry, 'Suela. As much as I'd like to support veterans, I really object to directives like that. To me, the real government waste comes because there are so many things antithetical to good management.
aurelia! Welcome back from the wilds of drama camp.
I don't mind being spoiled, but I almost never seek it out. My kids do actively seek out to be spoiled, at least a bit. I didn't look at the study, so I have no comments as to its value. I'm not sure why you'd create a study on something like that.
I'm not sure why you'd create a study on something like that.
Because you like to spoil people and don't want to listen to their outrage?
I dunno, it just seems so much of a mileage varying thing that who cares if 95% of people prefer to be spoiled? Be considerate to the 5%. It's not really hard.
There's something wrong with how much I like these garlic parmesan fries. It can't be right.
Ugh, this document is still kicking my ass. And they're going to ask me about it in the one o'clock meeting...
Welcome back from the wilds of drama camp.
Thanks! We had some actual wilds this year. A bear was on campus (on the stage of the brand-new pavilion) the day I arrived. And something was living in one of the walls of my cabin.
Was the bear there to rehearse Winter's Tale?
You'd think, right? But that play was not on the calendar for this summer.
Okay, random baby in the parking structure: How are your eyes so big and cute? And fie on you for making me want babies so I can keep their hair cut really short. Dubious practicality, that.
re: spoilers--if a book is going in a direction that I'm leery of, I'll check the end to see if it resolves in a way that doesn't make me want to throw it against a wall. I'm willing to read through badness if there's a payoff I can appreciate in the end.
This is pretty much me. If a story has a bleak ending that's going to leave me sad or angry, I don't want to read it. The Kite Runner is watermark now - I ask my friends if a book will be like that, and if they say yes, forget it. I hated that book.
I don't want to be spoiled for major plot points, but I don't even count casting news as spoilers.
Random: 7:30 pm EST IS 6:30 pm CST, right?
