@Civil Disobediance, I want my words to reach people's hearts. I want them to love my characters far more than they love me. Let them have their money!

@Civil Disobediance, Have you heard of Stephanie Meyer's "The Host"? It's actually not too bad. Better than Twilight.

I've heard all good things about The Host, though I haven't read it. I have seen the movie (I know, I know,) and thought that it was all very well done. You can tell it's Stephanie Meyer, though, because the relationships are incredibly dramatic and complicated, ha ha!

Ah, I'm a professional TV watcher... I mean, security consultant... so I tend to have a lot of time on my hands. Not always a good thing!

Boy is it boring, though! My job description actually puts me right there with you on drunks, though, as I mainly deal with healthcare crisis', and that involves a lot of substance abuse

@Civil Disobediance, it's a job. Subway sounds rough to me haha. I hated food service ;P Respect for being able to put up with it!

@Civil Disobediance, exactly the position my wife and I are in, without the baby. She isn't a huge fan of her job either, but she's in college and we'd really be scraping by without her. I grew up very privileged but my parents drilled me in the value of hard work, so I was out as soon as possible (three weeks after graduating high school). I put my time in at a dead end job (we lived paycheck to paycheck for a year, and had about $20 in the bank each week after bills). Now I'm luck enough to make enough by my self, and she takes care of the extras. The struggle is real, you're not alone!

@Civil Disobediance, perfect quote!

@Civil Disobediance, I loved the Outsiders, I read it when I was about thirteen. I actually just incorporated this whole concept into the end of the latest chapter of my NaNoWriMo project before this conversation!
