Mari and I nano prepped for 12, maybe 13 hours straight today (with small breaks in between) so please forgive our lack of The Hunger Games Discussion today. I recently finished Delirium by Lauren Oliver (and I am close to being finished with Pandemonium) so expect a review. Possibly tomorrow if time allows.
I sat in a classroom the other day, sculpting clay and minding my own business but of course my super trained ears pick up anything that has to do with anything fandom/book/blog related so when I heard a girl say "a society where love is considered a disease..." I had to interject with "ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT DELIRIUM?!!? adjkasfhjlsdhl!!!" Here is then our conversation:
Girl who speaks of delirium: "YES!! Have you read it!!?!
Me: "YES! I love that book! I'm on pandemonium right now!!"
Girl who speaks of delirium: "OMG ME TOO! What part are you on in Pandemonium??!"
Me: "oh I'm on the part with the creepy rat people."
Bystander who delirium girl was originally talking to: "creepy rat people?"
Girl who speaks of delirium: to other girl; "it's a long story." To me; "so are you team Alex or team Julian??"
Me: "Alex!!"
Delirium girl: "yeah. Me too. Julian is kind of a nerd isn't he?"
Me: *crushed a little on the inside that she called Julian a nerd because that is offensive to nerds ~ le me* "yeah. He's kind of iffy. I don't trust him. He is weirdly off."
We both nod and turn away. Then I FANGIRL over the fact I just fangirled with a perfect stranger over delirium!!! Adjkasfhjlsdhl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So that's my "Saturday Story" (kinda lame but I hope I sort of entertained you) ha. That's pretty good. Maybe someday "Saturday Story" will take over for The Hunger Games Discussion Saturdays.

“I spent my life folded between the pages of books.In the absence of human relationships I formed bonds with paper characters. I lived love and loss through stories threaded in history; I experienced adolescence by association. My world is one interwoven web of words, stringing limb to limb, bone to sinew, thoughts and images all together. I am a being comprised of letters, a character created by sentences, a figment of imagination formed through fiction.”
