A very CampNaNo Thank you.

So, if Camp NaNoWriMo were really a camp, this would be the point when all the campers are writing those last letters home, rushing to put them in the post.
This would be when all the campers share tearful goodbyes with their cabin mates, getting one final roasted marshmallow session in. Singing that one last camp song.
Enough with the camp metaphors.
This post is for Steph, Natasha, Jackson and Kate. Who all served as so much inspiration.
(I was inspired by Steph's post, here: http://www.stephaniepellegrin.com/2011/08/camp-nanowrimo.html)
So, I wanted to thank you all so much.
If I could, I would build you all a cake or something. But as far as I know, cake doesn't transfer well through email. I just want to thank you all so much.

So to my cabin mates:
Thank you all so very much.
I could not have done this without you all.
You are all so amazing. I am so glad to have been able to meet you all online.
Thank you for making it a fabulous month and thank you for all your help.
It may be getting old by now, so this is the last time I'll say it.
I am so very grateful to all of you! (Natasha, Kate, Steph: Thanks for all the word wars and writing parties. Jackson: Thank you for the insight into a guy's mind. That made me smile.)
So, thank you all one last time, and I'll miss you!
Can't wait until November!

Why I hated the ending to Paper Towns by John Green. Or, why I have deep seated emotional problems that shouldn't be taken out on books.

I will preface this by saying that I LOVE John and Hank Green. (A.K.A, the 'Vlogbrothers' on YouTube.)

_So MANY SPOILERS_
So, I was afraid of a book.
No, not like that, I'm not afraid of papercuts or anything.
I was afraid that if I read a John Green book and hated it, it would make the YouTube channel less enjoyable.
So I tried to read 'An Abundance of Katherines' by John Green, but it was so boring, to be honest, that I have temporarily set it down.
To give Mr. Green a second chance, I got Paper Towns from the library and I went to bed.
When I woke up, I felt sick, so I lounged on the couch, took a bath, took a nap, and then, I sat down with Paper Towns by John Green.
I'll spare you the details and I'll just say that up until very end, I loved the book.
I'm not known for reading mysteries, but I really enjoyed this one.
So, I liked it, sure, until the end.
The end was boring, and the road trip didn't pick up much, then there was this bit that I really didn't get with a cow in the middle of the road and they swerved out of the way. I think it was supposed to be a heroic moment for Ben, who saved their lives, but it was under described and over enthused about later.
And I just didnt' get it.
Then, it was just boring. There were parts that just said
"Hour sixteen: I slept."
\
"Hour seventeen: I slept. We stopped for doughnuts,"
And then it picked up again! And they found Margo! And then Margo turned out to be a self centered brat who is 110 percent different than what anyone thought her to be. It was a cop out, and then they separated and then she kisses Q.
It was lame.
But I decided something.

_ Spoiler Free part _

I hated the end to Paper Towns, like I hated the end to Mockingjay.
It was rushed, and boring.
But also, I loved the characters so much, that I really didn't want it to end therefore, my conclusion is that I have deep seated emotional problems with goodbyes.
Yeah, that works better than saying that it was a bad ending. I think.


Please enjoy the above Vlogbrothers video. :)
Yeah, no less entertaining.
