I LOVE the comment from elvenjaneite on Sounis: “But you do know that Eugenides never loses, right? That even when he seems to lose he’s actually PLOTTING HIS VICTORY?”
I’ll post it if you won’t! Because it’s true! :)
Go, Zombie!Gen!
So glad the Everdeen sisters are back! And I know I’ve asked this once already, (and I apologise if it’s annoying to ask again, but I’m curious,) will there be T-shirts again this year?
Meggie, so far we don’t know of any, but you never know!
Oh my… You are gone for a week and you miss all of this! This is NOT good… I repeat NOT good. Countdown losing? Nonsense! Absurd! Insanity. Oh goodness… What has happened?
