Yeah, this. I'm so excited when where I live gets like a quarter of an inch. xD

Bitch, how does it snow in the desert?

Yeah, its a lot easier to appreciate it when you don't have it every winter. Its cold, slippery, gets everywhere, melts then turns into ice and then you slip on it and eat it in front of people you don't know. Not to mention it is a BITCH to drive in.

I have The Scarlett Letter but I haven't read it yet. Now I really, really want to make that the next book on my list.

It is such a wonderful book. It might be hard to understand because its so heavy in symbolism. Hester's daughter Pearl isn't even really a character, she's one big symbol of both Hester's sin and joy in life. But its definitely a must read book.

Not really a character? As in, she doesn't exist? Cool.

charley_luv December 11 2009, 07:32:23 UTC

Oh no, she exists. Its just that she's not there to be a character with a personality, but is there to symbolize Hester's anguish and pride. I think she's described as Hester's letter A come to life. The A Hester's made to wear represents the shame of her sin, but since Hester has to make them and sow them on her clothes herself, she makes them ornate and beautiful signifying that she still has pride and still takes some joy out of life. Pearl is living, breathing proof, an everyday constant reminder of Hester and Dimmesdale's shared transgression.

That's a scary amount of snow. When I was nine and visiting my mom in Oklahoma for Christmas we got snowed in for a week, with no power. That amount of snow frightens me, NGL.

There was a snow storm in October here about 10 years ago and we didn't have power for a week. The snow was so thick and wet that it pulled down all the power lines pretty much for the entire city. Everything was shut down. We didn't have power, heat, food anything for an entire week. What I did have was a three year old sister who wouldn't shut the fuck up. I guess things never change.
