September's Finale

Last Friday the Avatar: The Last Airbender’s spin-off THE LEGEND OF KORRA had aired with surprisingly two episodes across Asia while I incoherently tweeted about my favorites’ debuts on TV. Not less just fifty minutes before the premiere the cable was pretending to be dead and I was plunged in an ephemeral pall caused by the pessimistic feeling that it would not come back before the very much hair-standing series of which I have been awaiting for months and months. Now, I am supposed to be reviewing for an emphatically long quiz on cells for tomorrow, but I wanted to record a few happenings of which were quite enjoyable, and the record had already started with Korra’s heavenly intro pre-October. But I will still study afterwards this update!

My mother and I watched The Perks of Being a Wallflower, and I had awkwardly yet almost boldly explained the reason why Perks is rated R-13. Basically the book would be the same if they were rated like movies were. I also rambled on about how people should not act immature about the scenes in both the book and its movie adaptation, because seriously. Anyway Perks was emotional and by “emotional” I mean exhaustingly enjoyable and captivating. And as two older teenage girls giggled on about how cute Logan Lerman is and why this and why that (since one of them apparently did not read Stephen Chbosky's work of brilliance), I clung to my mother’s arm and thought of many things, which I admit did not exclude the attempt of figuring out what personality type Charlie has and the probability of a high wave of the online statistics of Harry Potter/Percy Jackson crossovers via a number of writing sites I admittedly tarry around for fanfiction from other fandoms. I argue that some aspects from the book weren’t so stressed about or did not even appear in the adaptation, but overall I’d given Stephen a thumbs up and a friendly smile. I should also mention how beautifully blessed Ezra Miller is with the audience’s obvious infatuation with him summed up by their cheers, but I’m handing it over to you to dream about until you see the movie (if you haven’t seen it yet).

But before Perks had caught my full attention I was at Fully Booked, hissing around lest someone grab the SIGNED COPY of John Green’s bestseller The Fault in Our Stars. My mother was of course hesitant about getting it for me since I already own a NOT SIGNED COPY of the book, but she eventually did. I wriggled around with my hands across my face, a tingle of the Nerdfighter sign racing through my fingers. Then en route to a nearer mall after a quick respite in the house, I replaced Owl City’s The Midsummer Station with Ocean Eyes. It was a bound to safety and relief, for I had needed it.

One significant character from TFiOS is Augustus Waters, and I just had to add: I also love metaphors and fear oblivion, Gus. I feel comfort through your sentences through Hazel, so thank you.

Today a book and the cutest bookmark were purchased. Think Shakespeare and a flower, getting ready for October. With a new month comes this kind of unpredictability I both dread and dream about. Let's do that together, hopefully with less worrying.

The following month, again, okay! Good evening, good night.
