TV Tropes Will Ruin Your Life

> Today we cleaned house. Sort of. Ish. My mom cleaned out her room and I cleaned out the living room and made a dent in the mess that is my room. I even threw some stuff away, be proud of me. Also I reorganized my library and discovered that I can no longer find my copies of So You Want To Be A Wizard and Men At Arms, and am going a little bit crazy trying to track them down again.

> I watched The Aztecs on DVD while cleaning. ILU, Barbara Wright. Marry me, pls?

> I want this shirt.

> I also want new ARD:U. UPDATE THE SITE NAO PLS GAIZ?

> What's the lolcat spelling of guys? I think I do it a different way every time, which probably isn't right.

> As of today I own Turn Coat! I'm very excited, people have told me that it's a major game-changer, and something about Thomas, idk. But I bet it'll be an awesome read. Yay Dresden Files!

> The Tony noms are going to be announced May 5th! *flail* Do want to know. [tos] better be nominated for some awards, I'm just sayin'. Also Lin-Manuel will be one of the people announcing the nominations, so that's just plain awesome.

>I always have things to say listed in my head and then I sit down and make these lists and forget half of them. Sorry?

>If you would like some further reading, feel free to click the link in the subject line.

I'm very excited, people have told me that it's a major game-changer, and something about Thomas.

._. I'm about two hundred pages in and have some Major Suspicions, so that really concerns me.

Honestly, I don't know what the Something About Thomas is. Just...something about Thomas. Maybe it's a Crowning Moment OF Awesome, IDK. :/

On the other hand, everybody I've talked to who's read it has been like "TOTALLY SHAKES EVERYTHING UP, THE DRESEDENVERSE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME". So, uh. Concern might be in order. :|

Well, that's kind of awesome! ...On the bad side, I am getting this feeling in my stomach that I haven't gotten since I read Order of the Phoenix. That stupid book is why I started reading spoilers (granted I refuse to read spoilers for Turn Coat, especially now, because I definitely don't want the end spoiled) in the first place, because I hate that uncertain, "Oh God, I think he's going to die" thing. I'm generally not wrong.

Not that there's been ANY indication that he might thus far... It's just... A bad feeling. Especially since, well, Jim Butcher hasn't killed off a major character YET has he? (I can never remember what happens in the other books...)

Not that I remember. Though that might just mean that he hasn't killed off a major character that I'm attached to, but I don't think he has.

WHICH DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING.

Look, now you've got me all worried and I've barely started the book. *flail*

I'M SO SORRY. D:

I'm probably going to go CRAZY and blitz the whole rest of the book tonight, because I'm so anxious now that I know that there's a gamechanger ending.

...Except now I'm distracted by the fact that apparently Quentin Tarantino is on American Idol.

Incidentally, Thomas DOES have a CMoA pretty early in the book, so... THAT COULD BE WHAT THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT.

MAYBE IT IS. But maybe it's not.

Dresden books are good for CMoAs, though. There's usually quite a few in each book.

I may have kindasorta broke down and skipped to the end... Mostly I just skimmed to see who was around in the aftermath and if anyone was mentioned as being dead... *shuffles feet* So I don't TECHNICALLY know the big gamechanging ending, but at least I have significantly less to worry about.

Cheater! *is secretly relieved* That's cheating! *but it means I have significantly less to worry about as well*

So, um. Yes. Good for you. XD

THIS IS NOT AN RP JOURNAL. I AM NOT TOO LAZY TO SIGN OUT. RLY.

XDD I CAN'T HELP IT. I do this all the time. I get too spazzy and freak out and if I don't KNOW ahead of time, then I spoil my enjoyment of the book, because I want to rush through it and get to the ending.

IT'S CHEATING FOR GREAT JUSTICE!

I would get all high-horse and snobby but the fact is I do the same thing more often than I'd like to admit. It makes it so much less stressful! And as Douglas Adams once observed, people do in fact die of suspense.

So FOR GREAT JUSTICE! :D
