So this is my first post. Hi, Internet. Along with the 23 things I hope to post random notes of interest on whatever J or YA books I'm currently reading, such as favorite phrases, particularly good parts, and such.
As far as the 7 1/2 things go. I thought they were fine and would be okay ways of starting someone thinking about changing/improving their life, but I'm just not there. I don't need convincing. I already thought of myself as a "lifelong learner" in high school. I just knew I wanted to always be learning something new and discovering more about people and the world.
Currently reading: Luna, by Julie Ann Peters (The story of a "perfect" high school boy, who has dreamt all his life of being a girl. This is a bubbling stew of awkward and difficult moments. I'm glad I'm reading this and that I have it available to recommend for teens or parents that are interested in what it is like for transexual/transgendered people. I am also glad that I didn't have to go through this growing up.)

I hate the parts in books, movies, etc. which feature as you said so well, "awkward and difficult moments." I end up skipping pages or leaving the room. I guess I identify too much with the character, even if I have nothing in common with them.
Heh, I know exactly what you mean. Amanda is always joking about my trademarked "Awkward Cards" that I drop whenever things get too hairy. They allow me to instantly disappear in a puff of smoke.
