what’s divergent?

This wonderful little book.

It’s about this girl living in a city where the people are divided into 5 factions, each one built around a different character trait, peacefulness, intelligence, bravery, selflessness, and honesty.

On a certain day of the year, 16-year-olds have to take this assessment test to see in which faction they fit into the best. But when she takes the test the results are all weird. And then there’s a ceremony where they have to choose which faction they will live in for the rest of their lives. Most people choose to stay in the faction they were born into, but she decides to join a different one, where she will never see her family again.

And then the main book is her going through the initiation into the faction she chose.

And it’s really good.

I assume you’ve read Hunger Games? How good/worth it was Divergent in comparison?

I have read the Hunger Games.

It’s hard to compare, because in Divergent, it’s not like innocent people are dying and the people are scared.

It’s more about the government keeping the people happily sedated.

I read Divergent before I read the Hunger Games, and while the Hunger Games books were a bit more fast-paced and had more action, it might had had to do with the fact that I read all three within a week, where Divergent I only read the one book, and I was dissatisfied with the ending because I didn’t know it was going to be part of a trilogy. 

I thought the book ended and that was that, but knowing that there’s another one (which I’m already downloading) and a third completely changes how I feel about the ending.

I really recommend it.

I’M SO EXCITED

I’m going to a Wes Anderson theme party…on a boat.

So envious! 

My dentist in Venezuela would give us these after visits when we were little. She told us that cavities looked like these, which resulted in me and my brother wanting to get cavities because we liked the idea of little monsters crawling around in our mouths.

Kumar Pallana is known for his roles in Bottle Rocket, Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, and The Darjeeling Limited. He immigrated from India and opened a small coffee shop in Dallas, Texas. Wes Anderson and his writing partner Owen Wilson lived close by, and would often use his store as a quiet place to work on their screenplays. Anderson decided to write him into the script they were working on at the time. That script eventually became Bottle Rocket, and the two have been working together ever since.

Got an interview with Victoria’s Secret. That was fast.

I still can’t get over this.

I’ll think about it randomly throughout the day and just sit there giggling to myself.

My family probably thinks I’m crazy.

I can’t hate on Zac Efron. His role in Firefly makes up for all the bad movies he’s done.

Do not tell me what to wear.

I’m going to wear my clothes, not hers.

And don’t complain about my lack of fancy clothes.

You know I couldn’t bring everything down with me, and I only brought what I knew I was going to wear.

I’m not going to go out uncomfortable in clothes that are hers, not mine, and shoes that are a couple sizes to small.

It’s not happening.

I don’t care if you don’t like it.

If you don’t like that I have, then help me pay for new stuff, because you know I can’t afford to go on shopping sprees right now.

I’m not going to waste what little money I have to make you happy.

troiansy: apriki: Riddle me this: you’re an invisible thirteen year old who has just snuck into a candy shop. Looking around, at all of the hundreds of different types of sweets that surround you, what do you go for? A lollipop. That your friend had already brought. YOU’RE INVISIBLE IN A CANDY SHOP AND YOU STEAL CANDY THAT SOMEONE HAS ALREADY BOUGHT. And not just anyone. Neville Longbottom. The kid with the worst luck in the world, and you steal his goddamn lollipop. Is anyone surprised that you’ve got a horcrux inside you, Harry Potter? Because I’m not surprised one bit. #your soul is made of lies and half eaten lolipops

Ryan Gosling: "Carey and I, our relationship off camera was very
similar to our relationship on camera. We really just kind of
looked at each other. It just felt good. I just liked looking
at her. And I didn't want to blow it by saying anything. Also,
I really wanted to kiss her, so I asked the movie's director
Nick if I could do it in the elevator scene before I smash a
guy's head in.
