Paper Thoughts

Today I finished reading Paper Towns, I don't know how I feel about it. It wasn't bad. It wasn't not good. I guess it is fair to say that it was in fact good. Even if I didn't necessarily like the ending, it was good. It was thought through. There were some hard to believe parts, I don't think that people can just change overnight, even if a naked picture of them is being held hostage. Another thing I didn't like was something that is not exclusive to this book. The parents of the main character are both therapists and apparently according to almost every book and movie, they are sort of hippie like, clueless, let's-talk-about-how-this-makes-us-feel, likable idiots. I don't know which psychologists/therapists/psychiatrists these people are hanging out with but I know that 99% of them are nothing like this. 99% of them do not try to diagnose every single person they come in contact with for more than a second. 99% of them don't think that they are better than everyone else just because they have studied psychology/psychiatry extensively, that's not to say they don't think they're better than everyone else for other reasons, but it rarely is because of their job. So that annoyed me, luckily they weren't a huge part of the book.

When I was in high school I knew that high it wasn't where it was at for me. I had to go because it's the law and because you can't skip over it on the way to university and the real world, so I went. It was fine, but it wasn't the most important time of my life, I don't think that it really felt like it at all. I knew that when I would leave I was still a kid. I guess maybe a lot of people aren't kids when they leave. Some get married and start families, I always thought it was weird but who am I to call other people weird?

Eating junk in paper towns

Today for breakfast I had a danish and for supper I had a burger, so needless to say my diet is going great. /sarcasm. The eating right is really the hardest part. Well, I haven't been doing great with the actual working out part but I've been doing good.

I also have nothing to say. I just want to read the book...that I'm reading right now...not right now but ummm that I'm in the process of reading. It's John Green's Paper Towns, so far (I'm at around chapter 6, I think) I'm wondering if teenage boys actually call girls "honeybunny" and say things like "you should hit that, she's a sweet honeybunny", I don't really know why I put those in quotes since I doubt they're actual quotes but whatever the quotes stay. Also, I don't like the main girl character, she seems to have no regard for people's property. It really bothers me when people destroy other people's things, it's just so rude. But I'm sure I will learn what her redeeming qualities are soon enough. The book is meant for Young Adults (why do they call teenagers that? People in their 20s are young adults teenagers are not) and it reads like one, it's pretty fast paced, there aren't too many in depth explanations just things happening, that's not a bad thing at all. I can see why teenagers would really enjoy this book I think it's pretty good at describing the feelings of teenagers though I think there is some "adult" in them as there is in many great stories about teenagers. I think that's the whole point. For some reason teens seem to like to watch and read about other teens who seem to have very adult qualities about them. I guess maybe so that they can aspire to be like that. Those characters usually just made me feel incompetent. Anyway, that is my review of the book which I am nowhere near finished reading. I hope that last sentence made some sort of sense.
