Why does Wendy's give me the 'senior discount' without asking?

I'm a teenager and I ADORE jane austen!!!! I hate twilight

have you read any of her other books? they are really good.

It;s great to hear that young people still enjoy reading good literature. We studied Jane Austen and other great British authors at school and it takes a really good modern writer to get anywhere near them for skill. If you like romantic novels, try Charlotte Bronte:

For a completely different take on British society in the past, there's Charles Dickens:

For those who don't read good novels, do try it. They might take your minds off your aches and pains.

Why is it that I wake up hung over after drinking all night and going bar hopping? lol, 22 and no worries! I pack police cars with boxes etc. with a guy and he is 82, blows my mind how well he hauls around. 22 cars and he makes me run around. I could be just hung over though.

REMEMBER everyone! Your only young once, use it before you loose it! Plus, drinking helps with the shi#@y house I live in till April 13. And rum and coke is king.

PEACE!

Great! Dickens' Hard Times is a real eye opener on Victorian England and the Industrial Revolution.

Why is it just when you start growing hairs where they never were before that your near vision fails you and you have to wait for DH or DW, or when they have lost their near vision, a dear friend to tell you you have a dark black, 1/2 inch hair sticking straight out of your chin, arm, ear or nose? It wasn't there yesterday!

I am solo, with nobody living here with me other than furred or feathered family members. They don't care about my age-related hirsuteness. As a matter of fact, they like to share!: Feathers and fur on my clothes. Co-workers won't tell me about the hairs on my chinny-chin-chin, either. Not fair!

Read Jane Eyre, and read Oliver Twist. Started Great Expectations, but then I found out that Brian Jaques died, so I went onto a Redwall kick.

I'm a reading nut. I got 6 books from the library yesterday, all between 250 and 500 pages, and already have finished three and half of them. Speed reading FTW!
