I hate it when people give the endings away because it usually pops out of nowhere so I am not prepared to shut my ears. x.x

I wish those kind of things did not have to happen. I would love it if I could remember every character in every book with every scene as I imagined it forever. Then I could stop and start anywhere with any book I please.

I suppose my head would be pretty full of weird things, too.
