Honest to God, Lennie an’ me ain’t never gonna be able to settle down if he don’t learn to keep his god damn paws off other people’s stuff. They don’t git Lennie’s jes a big lug with a big heart. Everybody else jes cares bout themselves and their own needs. Sometimes I wonder what that’d be like … I jes gotta keep Lenny outta Curley’s sight. That little punk’s got it out for Lennie.
ReplyDelete- George, Of Mice and Men
Look here, George. You’re a nice fella, but you know what you gotta do. Lennie’s jes like a kid and don’t fit into this man’s world. You’ve spent your life lookin’ out fer him, but you’re always gonna be runnin’ to keep one step ahead of trouble. I can tell you from experience that this here ranch is a place where you can make a good name for yourself, make good money, and let loose in town on a Saturday night without any worries. You ain’t gettin’ any younger, George.

today was our match ceremony and I got matched with Xander, which is really good! But, when I went home to watch the microchip, Xander's face didn't show up on the moniter. Ky's did! if anyone finds out I could be in a lot of trouble.

DeleteHey Cassie, I know alot about keeping secrets so heres some tips: Dont tell anyone, not even your best friends. And deny, deny, deny, no matter what never admit to anything. Also roll a blunt and relax, chill life man

DeleteI completely understand where you are coming from im divergent they will kill me if anyone found out. Its hard choosing between what you want and what society wants.

DeleteI swear to God if my family doesn't leave me the hell alone and get off my freakin back I'm gonna kill someone! Everything my responsibility and my fault and I'm sick of it! I just wanna smoke a fat blunt or pour myself a drink, but i cant due to getting drug tested weekly at theses God forsaken groups. FML

DeleteMy roomates boyfriend is so annoying I wish he would just wait for her else where. I wish I could just go write my Simon Snow books, and eat my granola bar in peace.
ReplyDelete- Cath, Fangirl
What is a granola bar? I dont understand what this is. I know of books, but is Simon Snow the writer or the main story; this, too, does not make sense.
DeleteYou know what's annoying? When someone rats you out! Just because he is waiting for her that's annoying? I was ratted on by my best friend to the cops!
DeleteWhy am I cold, were am I? Someone is hunting me and I don't know who. Why am I being hunted? I believe the person that is hunting me is some computer hacker.

I just woke up in a dark creaking box with no memory of ANYTHING but my name! When there was finally light it was blinding. The people here look familiar but I don't know how. I cant loose it now; we both just gotta hold on.

ReplyDeleteNow that i am here is this beautiful house, some of my worries have dissolved, but i still feel uneasy. The people are nice here, and they have children; they make me more comfortable. Something that confuses me is this family acts and speaks very american like, yet they ask that only russian be spoken in their house. This is good because i dont understand some of the things they have said already; the girl maggie said her room was redecorated, but i dont know what that means. Although there will be many challenges, i am excited to see what this oppurtunity has instore for me.
ReplyDelete-Hannah, Trafficked
Me being in a hierarchy english maybe a challenge, but your life seems so much harder.
Delete-Cath, Fangirl
I have no clue how but she just spoke to me in my head! She said we did this to them, that its our fault we're all stuck in a shuking maze with no way out! Why would I lock myself in a maze! I wouldn't do that to them much less my self!
ReplyDeleteThomas, maze runner
Why did you have to rat me out! You are my best friend! You were my best friend... I hate you! How could you do this to me! And go to the cops? I can't believe you! -Snitch, josh
ReplyDeleteI was holding my baby girl today and just thinking about life ad what we're going to do in 30 days. I feel so lonely without her in my life. Me and Kim are going to be okay though. Kim is my baby daughter, i dont want her to have the same life as me, so i'll make sure i do my job as a father.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand why everyone makes fun of me. I can't believe Tommy actually asked me to prom he's so sweet. I thought he was like the rest of them but he's different. Im controlling my powers but its getting hard and I don't know how much more I can take.
ReplyDeleteThat's cool.
DeleteYou are worried about a silly dance? I am in India. Strange men are putting hot things in my private parts. I am supposed to satisfy them. Save me from Mumtaz. I am Lakshmi. I am from Nepal and I am 14 years old!

ReplyDeleteOw, got me in the arm and I dont have any thing to treat this. This is really the worst day of my life, I dont have any food or water, I'm wounded and i cant contact base. I'm stuck on this mountain with these alqaeda freaks, who just killed my team and best friends, Axe, Murphy, and Danny. We are seals, we knew there are these dangerous situations, but you never think their gonna happen to you. Sorry guys that I couldnt save you, but if I get out of here alive I'll tell everyone of how you went down fighting till the end. But, if I dont make it off this mountain alive you guys dont have to move on alone because I'm going to as many al qaeda followers as i can before I go

DeleteToday is the Choosing Ceremony, I'm sure I will choose Adnegation, I can see it now. ...... My name was called I stared at the bowls dauntless fire and adnegation stones. I am selfish. I am brave. Today my blood sizzles on the coals of dauntless fire. I hope my parents forgive me
ReplyDeleteTris, divergent
I'm sure it will be great. I felt the same way last night at the Matching Ceremony. I can't wait to see what's next.
DeleteCassie, Matched
Mumtaz locked me in my room. She said she'd starve me unless I agreed to satisfy the men. I told her that I refuse. She doesn't know me. She doesn't know that I know hunger. She has no idea that I can swallow my own saliva and make my stomach think that I am full. I know how to go days without food. I'll let that rotten-teethed witch starve me. Mumtaz is selfish. She has all of us go under brutal torture, yet she gets all the money. I had my dignity and will stolen because of her. Why did my family sell me?

I've just been dumped by a girl named Katherine. The nineteenth Katherine I've dated, to be exact. What's even worse is that they've all dumped me, and I can't figure out why. Lately I've been working on a formula that can determine how long a relationship will last and when they'll break up. I think that this will help me with my future relationships.
ReplyDeleteSince I was little I've been considered a child prodigy, which is a pretty good title to have, but I want to be more than that. I want to be a genius. There's a difference between prodigies and geniuses. Prodigies think; geniuses do. Anyway, to become a genius, I have to have an Eureka moment; and I think that creating a relationship formula that works will be it.

I went to an island with my bro's and was gonna have a good time. The house to ourselves and a couple chicks awesome! But all went south when a storm came and struck the island. The power went out and next thing you know someone found a dead body... There was a killer roaming the island. -T.J. Fletcher, TEN
ReplyDeleteMy story is sort of like yours man. There was a dead body found here as well but on a rooftop where it was only me and the dead body and no one else. In your life there is a killer after you and in my life the town thinks i am the killer.
Delete-Clay, Rooftop
Help me! My name is clay, I was on a hotel rooftop with my cousin and now she is dead. The whole town now wants an answer and I don't have one. I am telling you it was not my fault. Please, help me!

Last night was the best night of my life. Especially since I got matched with my best friend , Xander. Last night we held hands ,but it didn't feel the same. I've haven't felt this ways with Xander since before second school. Why did it have to end?

ReplyDeleteIf Perry doesn't just drive I swear I'll shoot him, and his family! I haven't even gotten to half of the people I need to kill. The sun will be coming up soon and this is my only chance! I just have to do this for my sister. I have been training for so long. This may be the only chance I ever get when all my targets are in the exact same city, on the same night.
ReplyDeleteGobi, Au Revoir Crazy European Chick
I'm in the exact same place I need all of my targets to be together and prom is the perfect place. If anyone tries something I want be afraid to use my powers.
