Hil, I'm willing to bet I know *exactly* what part you just read. Are you a little over halfway through book three?
Nope. Close to the end of book two.
River: I know you have questions. Mal: That would be why I just asked them.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I'm reading the Game of Thrones books, and just got to a part that's making me all flaily and wanting to kick things and say, "You can't do that!" Then I need to remember that it's just a book.
I started reading them on the way back from China. (Picked up the first book in Hong Kong Airport.) I feel someone should redo "I'm Glad I'm Not A Kennedy" as "I'm Glad I'm Not A Stark".

Ah, close to the end of two. Okay, I know what it is instead. Yes, I like to track these things as friends are reading.

Before (spoilers under tag), I didn't like Theon because he was annoying and whiny and just irritating. Now, I want him dead. Which is something I don't usually feel toward anyone, fictional or non, but this was wrong and bad and wrong.

Just keep reading.
I'm debating whether to keep on reading now, or go to bed and read more tomorrow. I'm on summer break now, so I don't actually have to stick to any sort of schedule, but I'm meeting a friend for lunch tomorrow, which means I have to be awake and alert enough to drive tomorrow morning.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
The best my mother ever came up with was a tearful "Don't you love me?" to which I replied, "Don't ask questions you don't want the answer to."
My mother often accuses me of not loving her, to which I can truthfully say that isn't true. If she accused me of not liking her, however, that would be a different animal.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Thinking back, my mother never guilted me about anything. My grandmother, on the other hand, was a guilt MACHINE. I think my mom reacted against her mother by never pressuring her daughters to do ANYTHING.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
Somebody's got to break the cycle. I suspect that I would be doing the same if I had a daughter. On the other hand, any daughter of mine would probably be a complete wild child because I'd be so determined not to be my mother that I wouldn't be the hardass you all know and love.

Heh. Nobody knows how to be a hardass parent when they start, Vortex. You develop it as a matter of survival.
