Is this the real life?

[rabidline]

And I'm back. For good, hopefully. Waking up at 3AM in the morning and going to bed at 1AM with only two hours of sleep in between is not a good routine when your college is located very, very far away from your house and you're not allowed to drive. Oh, and there's the mountainload of assignments. And seniors yelling at you IN YOUR FACE if you

May we have a good month this year! Speaking of Ramadan, is your father doing the fasting too this month?

*nods* Yeah, I hope so too; and yes, the religion tolerance in UK is better than in the US, even with both countries having suffered from alleged terrorist attacks. I've seen some anti-discrimination against moslems campaign happening in reaction to the protest going on in NY, so maybe it's not so bleak of a future anyway.

Ah, yes, you shall! The reason I read it this late is because the foreign books distributors refused to import The Hunger Games in great numbers until they caught word that SMeyer like it. (I live in a community where Twilight and Dan Brown's works are considered English literature. It's sad.)

Mum also thinks that fasting for a day will also clear out her stomach.

It's true! If performed correctly (none of that starving nonsense) fasting is good for your body :)

I haven't read (or heard) of Persepolis; describe it for me?

Ugh, tell me about it. My friends don't read much of foreign books, especially when they're not translated yet. The only books they're crazy about is Twilight (and its sequels), Harry Potter, and the occasional Dan Brown's works (usually this happens when they wanted to sound/look smart, which is missing the point entirely regarding Brown's works).

Ok,lots of people in my flist are talking about these novels,and i gotta say that they do sound very interesting,even tho the plot sounds very battle royallish to me (except different,but i guess that's the beauty of it XD)

Putting them on my list,but hell i just don't seem to find time to read anymore,which is very very sad )= (i've been wanting to read his dark materials for three years now,still not luck)

[rabidline]

Yep, the plot does bore some similarities to Battle Royale. I think what makes it very interesting to me is the fact that the book series has the awesomest female protagonist ever so I was like: SQUEEE.

Here's me wishing you luck so you can read the books you want!

YAY! I hope my endless recommendations of it on my LJ played a part in it. I'm just excited to see another person on my flist that enjoys The Hunger Games series, because I'm bursting with anticipation for Mockingjay.

Happy Ramadan to you too! I think it's a wonderful sentiment, that Building a Mosque at Ground Zero.

[rabidline]

Yes it does! Oh, my flist definitely played a huge part in it :D Mockingjay's the third book, right? I haven't even read Catching Fire yet. (buying it this afternoon, though)

Thank you! And it is, especially that it's not going to be just a mosque, but also a cultural center.

AND YOUR ICON SQUEEE
/still indifferent about Peeta, but you can't deny that is one hell of a line

[winged]

No, not indifference! Let me know what you think after Catching Fire.

Maybe this will change your mind? (Yes, I like making random websites).

And Mockingjay comes out tomorrow! It's the third and final, I don't actually know what will happen but I'm dying to find out.

[rabidline]

I know :( Here's to me changing my mind after Catching Fire (hopefully?) And I don't know if it's my browser, but I can't open the site.

WAIT WAIT TOMORROW? I'M NOT READY YET! KYAAAAA!

[afigureofspeech]

Yaaay Hunger Games! Such a good book. Katniss is the bomb. The third book is coming out in a couple days too. :)

Also, here's wishful thinking that the whole 'Building a Mosque around the 9-11 Ground Zero Area' debacle will end in a way that encourages religion tolerance, not islamxenophobia and fearmongering.

Ugh, this whole thing has gotten way out of hand. It's not even being built at Ground Zero! It has nothing to do with the government! Muslim =/= terrorist! I wish people would get that and stop bitching. My aunt was talking about it last night, because she heard some guy on the radio compare letting a Mosque be built at Ground Zero to letting Nazis build something at the Holocaust memorial, and I was like, whut? no! >:(

[rabidline]

It is, it is! Haha, I really have a good timing, don't I?

THIS THIS THIS, especially on Muslim =/= terrorist because it's so true and why do people still don't get that? And this might be an offensive and/or crude statement, but with the way the US ground-zeroed hundreds of Mosques in Iraq and Afghanistan, they look like assholes with all these intolerance.

[afigureofspeech]

Lol yeah it is. Have you the second book yet?

It's because some people need a scapegoat, and why differentiate when you can stereotype? People are stupid, and unfortunately the stupid ones are often the loud ones. *sigh* For some reason they have trouble looking at their actions and seeing that they're doing exactly what they accuse other people of.
